Chapter 28 The Cunning Shen Feng

Wan Baocai hadn’t finished vomiting when Shen Dong and his four brothers came over carrying manure, instantly filling the air with a stench.

Wan Baocai vomited again.

The two guards couldn’t take it anymore!

They angrily said,

“Can you guys take the manure further away?”

“Our young master can’t stand the smell.”

“It’s so stinky!”

Shen Dong frowned and said, “Our land is right here, where else can we go? This manure water, though it stinks, is good for growing vegetables. You two, if you can’t stand it, then go further away, don’t bother us working, lest you get covered in stinky manure water.”

After saying that, Shen Dong and the others went to the field with their manure water.

Seeing them pouring manure in the field, Wan Baocai vomited again.

It was so disgusting!

Are all farmers this disgusting?

But he had never seen anything so disgusting in his own farm!

He didn’t know that the servants in his farm were instructed not to let the masters see the dirty and cruel aspects of farming, only showing them the best side. They had to maintain cleanliness in front of the masters, not to soil their eyes, nor to let them smell the disgusting smells.

So Wan Baocai had never seen manure being poured, and he didn’t know how the vegetables he ate were grown.

Wan Baocai almost vomited up his bile. After vomiting, he collapsed onto the guard, gasping for breath.

The Shen brothers all frowned.

This young master of the Wan family wasn’t a little bully or a little devil, he was too delicate!

He couldn’t even stand a little bit of smell.

Shen Nian looked at Wan Baocai with concern, “Baocai brother, can you not smell the smell?”

Before Wan Baocai could speak, she said, “My brothers and I have been smelling these smells since we were little, we’re used to it. Manure stinks, but the vegetables grown from it don’t smell at all!”

Hearing this, Wan Baocai looked at Shen Lao and the others working, smelling the stench, he could no longer look at the vegetables he had eaten before!

Shen Nian and the two guards helped him to rest aside.

Shen Nian said, “Baocai brother, you rest under the tree first, I won’t accompany you, I still have to work with my brothers, no work, no food.”

Wan Baocai frowned, “Didn’t you say your family loves you very much and will give you the best? Why do you still have to work?”

Shen Nian replied, “My family loves me very much, they won’t force me to work, but I also love my family! They work hard to give me a good life, and I want them to live well too, not so hard, so I volunteer to help with the work! I think for everyone, and everyone thinks for me, isn’t that what a family should be like? Just watching others work and not doing anything yourself, enjoying the results of others’ work, I wouldn’t do such a shameless thing, I wouldn’t be able to eat.”

The little girl’s reasoning was one after another, Wan Baocai was stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have never helped his family with anything, it was always his family taking care of him, he was waited on hand and foot, never considering his family, only knowing how to enjoy, never experiencing what Shen Nian said.

Hearing Shen Nian’s words now, he felt a little ashamed.

Shen Nian didn’t know if Wan Baocai had listened, after saying that, she went to the wasteland to look at the crops she had planted, checking them and discussing with Shen Feng, showing off her hard work to Wan Baocai.

Wan Baocai sat under the tree looking at the things in the field, although he didn’t recognize anything, but seeing that everything was growing green, Shen Nian’s smile was bright, full of a sense of accomplishment, he was very impressed.

These were all transplanted from the mountain by Nian Nian to the wasteland, it was amazing!

Moreover, the wasteland was also reclaimed by Nian Nian and the Shen brothers together, it was even more amazing!

After showing off her crops, Shen Nian went to reclaim the land with her brothers.

Soon a group of children were busy, sweating profusely.

Shen Nian put down her small hoe to get the water bag and towel, wiping the sweat off her brothers, feeding them water, then went to the adults to deliver water and wipe sweat, a small person, busier than anyone else, but also smiling happier than anyone else.

That smile, like the warm sun.

Wan Baocai was envious, he also wanted Nian Nian to wipe his sweat and feed him water, but he didn’t have sweat on his forehead or thirst.

Then go and get some sweat.

He took a deep breath, stood up and walked over, taking the small hoe from Shen Nian’s hand, “Nian Nian, digging is hard work, I’ll help you, you go and rest.”

Shen Nian was looking for this kind of initiative, she smiled sweetly and said, “Okay, then I’ll leave it to Baocai brother!”

Wan Baocai was dazzled by her smile and waved to the two guards, “You two go help Grandpa Shen work too. The old man is working, you young and strong are just watching, is that right?”

The two guards: “…” It’s not our land, what’s there to be embarrassed about.

We don’t know how to farm either.

Besides, young master, are you sure you can really reclaim the land?

Although they were reluctant, the two guards knew that their young master was completely smitten with this little farmer girl, Shen Nian, and wouldn’t listen to them. If they dared to say a word, the young master would definitely torture them severely, so they simply said nothing and resigned themselves to helping Old Shen work the land.

Old Shen didn’t stand on ceremony, “You don’t need to help with digging, I can finish it myself. You help pull out the pigweed and weeds in the field, separate them after pulling them out, throw the weeds on the field bank, and take the pigweed back to feed the pigs and chickens.”

“What? You don’t recognize pigweed? It’s okay, I’ll show you.”

“No, this is my family’s chives, not weeds, don’t get it wrong!”

“That’s chives!”

“Oh my! My Chinese cabbage! You pulled the wrong one, you’re so stupid! Don’t you eat vegetables normally? How come you don’t even recognize vegetables?”

“I just poured manure over there, be careful not to step on it!”

“I told you not to step on it, you’re touching it with your hands!”

“Oh dear! How can you be so careless and fall! You’re so dirty!”

The two guards, who had only learned martial arts and never done any work, were about to collapse!

Farming is easy to say, but it’s really torture to do!

There are so many tricks that it’s maddening!

Then they looked at their young master.

Wan Baocai swung his hoe down, hitting a stone, and the gravel flew into his face, making him cry out in pain.

Shen Nian quickly said a few words of encouragement.

Wan Baocai immediately stopped howling, he gritted his teeth and dug again, after a few swings of the hoe, he was sweating all over.

He thought Shen Nian would praise him, would come to wipe his sweat and feed him water, he looked back and met Shen Feng’s handsome little face.

Shen Feng held a towel and a water bag, “Young Master Baocai, you’ve worked hard, let me wipe your sweat and have some water.”

Wan Baocai: “…”

No, I don’t need you!

He looked up to find Shen Nian, only to find that she had gone to Shen Cai’s side at some point, wearing a pair of small gloves, holding a sickle and cutting weeds and thorns with Shen Cai.

She worked very seriously and diligently, although she was small, her work speed was not inferior to Shen Cai’s.

Wan Baocai was too embarrassed to let her wait on him, so he resigned himself to drinking the water Shen Feng gave him.

Then he heard Shen Feng say, “Young Master Baocai, you haven’t done any farm work, let me teach you, there are tricks to digging, you’re digging like this will make you tired easily, you should do it like this…”

“Young Master Baocai is so smart, you’ll definitely be able to learn how to dig, better than us, make us look up to you, admire you!”

As soon as these words came out, Wan Baocai immediately thought of Shen Nian looking at him with admiration, he immediately exerted himself and followed Shen Feng’s instructions to work.

A smile flashed in Shen Feng’s eyes.

Little fatty, you’ll have to pay a price for eyeing my Nian Nian.

He continued to teach Wan Baocai how to reclaim the land with a gentle voice.
