Chapter 117 Tangle

Huahong rolled her eyes at Lin Yan and said, "Go and ask who would find it troublesome and doesn't want the cow. Those two cows are the most precious treasures in the city, and everyone would like to steal them back."
At this point, she was stunned and said: "Speaking of stealing cattle, someone actually did it."
"What do you mean? Going to Tie's house to steal cattle?" Lin Yan's eyes widened. No one would think so hard.
Stealing is illegal, and the cow is the private property of the Tie family. No one knows it. Even if it is stolen, wouldn't it be a bright sign of thief on the face?
"Who said you went to Tie's house to steal cows? That's not what a fool would do." Hua Hong said angrily, "I heard that some people are jealous and go to the wild to steal cow calves."
Lin Yan became energetic and his eyes sparkled, "Did you steal it?"
It would be best if you can steal it. There are successful examples of domesticated cow calves. Every extra bison is a profit.
Huahong sighed regretfully: "I didn't steal it. I heard that someone else was injured, so I came back limply. The bison are tall and strong, and it's not easy to provoke them. However, I didn't steal the cow. Someone
But I stole goose eggs and geese, and kept them at home. I even took a look. There were six white geese, all very small, and they didn't look fierce."
"Who is so fierce?" Lin Yan really didn't know that there were so many things happening in the city.
If you dare to steal geese, you must be a fierce person. She is also very greedy for those big white geese, but she can only think about it.
"The Huoyan family. There were many people in her family, so five of them went over and stole the geese and goose eggs. Nowadays, everyone in the city wouldn't envy them. The goslings were kept at home, and Huoyan even let people pass them through the drinking water canal.
I carried some water back and made a small pond in the yard."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I will go to Huo Huo's house tomorrow to see the geese. The geese are ferocious, and the goslings raised by this family should be fine. If they are raised for a long time, they may not be so ferocious."
"Isn't that right? Many people are secretly making plans to steal geese. I want to go too."
"We can't go." Lin Yan objected immediately, "Mom, those big white geese are so ferocious. We have all seen them with our own eyes, so we can't take risks."
Huahong is old and not strong. If he is discovered by the big white goose, he will definitely not be able to escape.
Seeing that Hua Hong didn't want to give up, Lin Yan hurriedly advised: "Mom, the people who go to steal geese are strong and fast, so they have confidence. The old ones in our family, the young ones, don't have that ability. Wait.
If they steal it back, if there are many people raising geese, someone will definitely sell them, and we will spend money to buy them."
Inspired by the bonus, Lin Yan kept up his efforts, "I don't need to spend any money. I have saved a lot of money here, which will definitely be enough to buy geese. When someone steals the geese back, we will buy them. Goose eggs can also hatch into goslings."
, there will definitely be a lot of geese by then.”
"Goose eggs can hatch, you've said so a long time ago, but no one has succeeded, so I came up with the idea of stealing the goose."
"It's different this time. We have geese. When the goslings grow up, they will hatch eggs. We will just wait."
After giving up Huahong's idea of stealing the goose, Lin Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Huahong would follow her and steal the goose fearlessly. The chance of success would be too low.
The next day, Lin Yan went to his own land first and planted wheat seeds into the ground with Hua Hong. It was much faster to plant wheat than to plow the ground.
It was all done in one morning. I planted the roe seeds again and looked at the fields being filled with them. I was looking forward to a bumper harvest in a few months.
Lin Yan's mood improved a lot. This year is a critical year. Most of the people are cultivating wasteland. In less than half a year, the area east of the Pika Rabbit Plain will turn into ten thousand acres of fertile farmland.
The pika and rabbit fields are huge, and it would be a fool's errand to open up all of them with the available manpower.
Although the population exceeds 10,000, most of them are children, especially children under eight years old account for one-third. With such a population structure, Lin Yan would not even dare to think about reclaiming the Pika Land.
This is an era where all work is done by manpower, and there are no machines to expand the territory, so we can only do our best.
When these little babies grow up and the population increases, this may still be possible.
Shaking his head and getting rid of the thoughts in his mind, Lin Yan followed Hua Hong back home.
A year has passed, and she has grown a lot, reaching over one meter. Her chubby flesh is gone, and her arms and legs are thin.
Every time he saw her arms and legs, Hua Hong would sigh sadly, feeling that farming had exhausted her and her flesh was gone, and it would be too difficult to raise them back.
After walking for a while, Huahong asked in a low voice: "Has Jinzi come to see you?"
Lin Yan was stunned and asked what he was doing, "He went to find you."
Seeing Hua Hong without saying a word, Lin Yan said, "I haven't seen him for a long time. Why is he looking for you? What happened to the Jin family again?"
After hesitating for a while, Huahong looked around and saw no one around before whispering: "Jinzi said he wanted to come to our house."
"What?" Lin Yan was so excited that he couldn't control his voice. Huahong was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Keep it down. Forget it, we'll talk about it when we get home."
Lin Yan trotted, urging Hua Hong to go faster. She felt that Hua Hong could really hold it in. Jin Zai's matter was either a big deal or a small matter, but if there was an extra person in the family, it would definitely be a big deal.
When they got home, before Hua Hong could take a breath, Lin Yan pressed him: "When did Jin Zai find you? He really wants to come to our house. What do you think?"
Huahong was a little confused when asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't promised him yet."
"First tell me carefully how Jin Zai came to see you."
Three days ago, after the wheat seeds were distributed, the Jin family's style was naturally not selected. Another quarrel and farce broke out in the family.
Jin Zai became a punching bag. He was angry for a moment, and after thinking for another day, he felt that he could no longer stay in the Jin family. It happened that the law supported men and women forming families voluntarily, and Jin Zai thought this was an opportunity.
He also had a sudden idea and had thought about it for a long time. But this time it was so strong that he mustered up the courage to come find the bonus.
Jin Zai voluntarily joined Hua Hong's household registration and became a member of the family. He specifically asked Xia Li that the law was on his side. As long as Hua Hong agreed, he could get rid of the Jin family.
Lin Yan's first reaction was to firmly object, but when she looked at Huahong's rough face and gray hair, she instantly understood that time is not forgiving.
Hua Hong is nearly forty years old, in poor health, and has so much work to do at home. It would be good if there was someone to share the workload with her.
Although Lin Yan is growing up, she also knows that she has a lot to do, and the possibility of being by Hua Hong's side in the future is slim.
Jin Zai is five years younger than Hua Hong and is in the prime of life. It would be a good thing if he could be with Hua Hong.
Lin Yan was confused. Jin Zai was a stranger to her. She had not seen him a few times since she opened her eyes, let alone any family ties.
But the current situation left her in a dilemma no matter what choice she made. Looking at Hua Hong, she suddenly understood that Hua Hong still had to make the decision whether it would succeed or not, and her own opinion was not important at all.
In the days to come, she will have to spend her time by herself. Whether it is good or bad is her own choice.
