Inner Thoughts Exposed: Reborn General's Farming Daughter Has a System

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: An Unexpected Visitor

[Can you give me a hint about what kind of mission it is?] Xiao Qingya asked, incredibly curious and nervous.

If the System said that it was a life-changing thing, it must have meant something big. Perhaps... her mother and father would reconcile soon?

Zhou Anran could only smile wryly inside when she heard her daughter’s inner thoughts. The chance of her and Xiao Yuanwei reconciling was too small.

It didn’t matter whether they were the female lead and male lead in a story. She wouldn’t easily follow something that would dictate her life.

Even if it was their fates written on it.

Xiao Qingya had a System which specialized in giving missions to change the plot, so she believed the plot about her and her husband could also change.

[For the time being, I can’t find out yet, but I know it’s a huge mission.] The System told her.

Unable to gain more information from the System, Xiao Qingya decided to drop the matter for now.

A week passed just like that.

Zhou Anran finally decided she wouldn’t sell the house in Hejia village. After all, it was still something that her husband fought to build.

The Zhou family also received news about the harvest yield from Magistrate Xu’s people.

A total of two hundred jin per mu!

Everyone in the county was full of joy. Many farmers also began to report their fields’ harvest yield one by one.

The harvest ranged from 150 jin per mu to as high as 250 per mu.

In the next week, it was the Xiao family’s turn. As usual, a lot of people were excited for their harvest.

"Mrs. Zhou, I have brought my men to help again." Shun Zi had come early, even when the sky was still dark outside.

The Zhou and Xiao family had more than a hundred mu of land full of rice plants. It would take them over a week if they were to harvest them alone, so they deeply appreciated his help.

"Thank you, Old Shun."

They began to divide the people, some went to this field or that field.

The Magistrate’s Mansion also sent a few people to help.

Xiao Qingya brought Xiao Xue to jump into the rice fields and cut the rice stalks as usual. Xiao Xue’s scissor-like teeth cut through the rice stalks easily.

It was like an automatic machine, and it made several of her siblings a little envious.

"Little Ya, are you tired? Let me try holding Xuexue," Xiao Yuxi offered.

At this time, Xiao Qingya was resting under a tree, feeling hot from the sun. Xiao Yuxi handed over a water pouch for her, and she drank it, letting out a relieved sigh after she finished.

"Here, Eldest Sister." She held up Xiao Xue, who was looking at her as though it was looking at a traitor.

Xiao Qingya looked away. [Work more, and I will buy you dried fish.]

The System snorted. But then...

[Deal.]

Xiao Yuxi used Xiao Xue, a natural resource, to cut the rice stalks. Although it wasn’t more effective than a knife, Xiao Yuxi found it fun so her speed increased.

Near noon, Magistrate Xu finally visited.

"Old Shun, how is the yield?"

They all looked in the direction of Shun Zi, who was in charge of weighing the harvest like usual.

Shun Zi had an excited look on his face. The Xiao family kept surprising him! When he started to think that the previous harvest was already high and couldn’t possibly be higher, he was slapped in the face.

And it was a good slap!

"It’s four hundred jin per mu! Your Excellency, four hundred jin per mu!"

Since Magistrate Xu was there, Han Tingxun also visited. However, the latter wasn’t alone this time.

He brought another familiar person.

"You didn’t tell me it’s Sister Anran’s fields that we were going to!" Su Wan complained to Han Tingxun.

"My apologies... Lady Su."

Su Wan went to her carriage after that, changing her clothes into ones suitable for moving in the fields.

When she returned, she was already excited and wanted to jump into the fields. Han Tingxun’s pupils constricted.

"Your..." he stopped himself. "Lady Su, you must not."

Su Wan ignored him and she excitedly helped in harvesting the paddy rice stalks. It didn’t take long before she arrived near Zhou Anran’s side.

Zhou Anran’s lips twitched.

It wasn’t that she disliked meeting with Su Wan, but her blood relationship with Xiao Yuanwei made her afraid he would go to pick up his sister.

If Xiao Yuanwei were to meet the children, she couldn’t guarantee it wouldn’t trigger his memories.

"Su Wan, you are here." Zhou Anran smiled at her.

Su Wan nodded. "Brother Han has been talking about high-quality rice a lot lately. I got curious and went to check with him. I didn’t expect that it was developed by you, Sister Anran!"

Zhou Anran hummed.

"Your fields actually yield four hundred jin per mu!" Su Wan started to chatter excitedly, and Zhou Anran’s worries lessened somewhat.

The two of them moved together, and Zhou Anran was surprised at Su Wan’s speed. She praised. "You are good at cutting the rice stalks!"

"Sister Anran, you didn’t know. When I was a child, I also cut paddy rice stalks before..."

Zhou Anran was reminded of the current imperial family’s identity. Their great-grandfather had been a farmer.

She continued to listen to Su Wan’s chatter. Unexpectedly, someone in the imperial family could also be such a kind-hearted woman who never puts on any airs.

At the end of today’s harvesting task, Su Wan suddenly fell down and hurt her feet and hands.

They all worriedly surrounded her, and Zhou Wenzhi suggested. "Jing’er will be back home tonight. He might have the medicine for Miss Su’s wounds. How about Miss Su visiting our house?"

Su Wan hissed slightly in pain. Her servants were helping her to stand up. She nodded at Zhou Wenzhi’s suggestion.

Meanwhile, Zhou Anran’s heart was filled with unease again.

After arriving home, they waited for Xiao Jingran to return, and Su Wan suddenly asked.

"Sister Anran’s husband hasn’t returned?"
