Lu Yuan and Lu Ming exchanged glances, both feeling an ominous premonition.

No one had expected Lin Nannan to be not just determined about farming but completely obsessed with it.

The Lu family had given Lin Nannan a good plot of land—close to a water source and yielding a decent harvest every year. However, after the last season’s crop, the soil had yet to be turned, so it was up to Lin Nannan and her group to do the work. The Lu family had plenty of their own land to manage, so the fact that they were even indulging her like this was already quite generous.

The incident that morning had become the talk of the village, so when people saw the Lu family heading out, they naturally paid attention. It wasn’t long before they noticed that the two acres of prime land were being worked on by Lin Nannan and a few kids. Curious, someone asked a few questions. And when they found out the Lu family had given those two acres to Lin Nannan, their reactions were incredulous.

“That’s two acres of top-quality land! You just gave it to Lin Nannan? Aren’t you afraid it’ll go to waste?”

It was both a question and a concern, so Grandma Lu wasn’t offended. She simply smiled and said, “They wanted it, so we let them try!”

“This isn’t just about trying! If those two acres don’t yield a harvest, what will you do this year?” Someone who was familiar with the Lu family’s situation couldn’t help but worry.

Grandma Lu knew exactly how much her family had in reserve, so she replied vaguely, “The past couple of years have been good. This year should be fine too.”

If the harvest was good, the family wouldn’t go hungry. If it wasn’t… well, that was another story.

Her response made the villagers look at Lin Nannan differently.

“Who gives land to a new daughter-in-law? The Lu family must feel guilty toward Lin Nannan and are making it up to her with land,” someone speculated.

“And so what? Would you take this ‘fortune’ if it were given to you?”

Anyone who cared about their own children wouldn’t want this kind of so-called blessing.

So now, when the villagers looked at Lin Nannan, their gazes changed. Most of them simply felt that the Lin family was heartless.

Lin Nannan didn’t care about any of this. When she saw the vibrant, fertile land, she practically wanted to throw herself onto it and roll around in joy.

“Ah Yuan, you start from that side. Ah Ming, you take the other side.” She quickly assigned tasks and then picked up a hoe, getting straight to work. The way she threw herself into it made people stop and stare.

Lin Nannan was strong. She had even asked for advice before heading out. So after the initial unfamiliarity wore off, she quickly got into a rhythm. Her efficiency skyrocketed, and before long, she was flipping the soil at an astonishing speed—so much so that the onlookers were left gaping in shock.

Both Lu Yuan and Lu Ming, working together, weren’t able to keep up with her. She was even outpacing a grown man. As more and more people gathered to watch, whispers began to spread.

“Back in the day, Lin Donglai always complained that Lin Nannan was useless—only knew how to eat and drink and wouldn’t help in the fields. Bet he never knew she had this kind of skill,” someone mused.

“Of course, he didn’t. Otherwise, do you think they would have let her marry out?” A fool who could farm wasn’t useless at all—she could bring in a decent harvest every year. Even if the Lu family had given her a lot, the Lin family would have done the math.

Someone, always eager to stir up drama, said, “Should we tell the Lin family?”

“It’s not a crime or anything. Why not?”

Many people in the village had long disliked the Lin family’s treatment of Lin Nannan. Life was hard for everyone, so while they couldn’t openly help her, they weren’t blind to the injustice. Now, seeing the Lin family about to get a taste of their own medicine, they were more than happy to watch.

The Lu family, overhearing these conversations, didn’t bother to intervene. They owed the Lin family nothing, so they couldn’t care less.

Meanwhile, Lin Nannan, fully immersed in the work, had no idea someone was about to stir up trouble. At this moment, she was only frustrated that the others were slowing her down.
