Love Your Husband

Part 381 - 390

Besides, the Xin family is rich, right?

Then please be more considerate to the Xin family’s tenants.

After dinner was ready in the kitchen, Li Qiao interrupted the conversation between Xin Zhi and Li Yu'an and said it was time for dinner.

The weather was cold, so it was not convenient for Zheng Qianqian and Li Xia to take Li Erbao and Ju Ge'er out for a walk. Also, knowing that Xin Zhi was here, Li Yuning and Li Xiaolan did not come either. So today's dinner was eaten by Li Qiao, Tao Zhu, Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, the three little ones, Xin Zhi and Li Yun'an.

Li Qiao's staple food is still snail noodles. While eating, he talked about things on the farm with the help of Li Liangwang Guihua.

It is the slack season for farming, but Li Liang and Wang Guihua have set up a small sweet potato vermicelli workshop, so the couple are quite busy. Just like Li Dashan and Li Shu who are in charge of the shop, they go out early and come back late every day.

However, the couple's main business is farming.

It hadn't snowed for a long time, so the couple talked about what to do after the spring and planned to dig a few more wells on his farm.

"Zizai, are there many wells on your farm?" Li Qiao asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu'an also looked at Xin Zhi who was sitting across the table.

"Uh...it should be enough."

Xin Zhi was somewhat at a loss for words.

Although he already knew how difficult it was for farmers to grow crops, his focus was on the farmers in Dasheng as a whole. He didn't understand his family's tenants and farms specifically.

He had never wandered around his own farm...

But it was obvious that his answer was not acceptable in front of the Li family.

Facing the gazes of Li Qiao and Li Yu'an, he immediately added, "After I get home tonight, I will ask the steward in charge of this area in the mansion, and I will go to the farm to inspect it in person during the next day off."

This is what Li Qiao wanted to hear, but it was not enough. He pretended to reminisce about the past: "The most tiring job in farming is watering the fields. It's OK if you have a cart at home. If you don't have a cart, you can only use a shoulder pole to carry buckets of water to irrigate the crops one bucket at a time."

"But a bucket of water only has so much water, while an acre of land is so large. Now when I think about how my elder brother, sister-in-law, parents and I used to water the land, I want to kill myself."

This resonated with Li Yu'an, who nodded his head and said, "When I was at the Song family, my mother carried a shoulder pole to water the wheat, and both of her shoulders were rubbed bloody by the pole."

As soon as these words came out, Xin Zhi couldn't help but gasp.

He really didn't know this before!

"Xiao Yu'an, don't worry. I will make sure to fill the Xin family's farm with wells and will never let those tenants worry about watering their crops."

He patted his chest and assured.

But we can’t let the lack of water in the well bring up little Yu’an’s sad memories.

"You are so nice." Li Yu'an couldn't help but smile, and his eyes were bright when he looked at Xin Zhi.

Xin Zhi straightened his back immediately after being looked at by this gaze, and then said, "Not only will the farms in the capital dig wells, I will also instruct the farms in my hometown to dig wells and ditches. I will make sure that every tenant of the Xin family does not have to worry about irrigation."
