Madam Liu-Zhao took her sons, Liu Lang, and Liu Lun over to help plow the land. Mu Yangling pulled a plow in front while they took turns to support the plow behind. As Madam Liu-Zhao paid attention to the ground under her feet, she said, “Our family has also decided to plant about 20 acres of winter wheat. We’ll see how it goes this ti. If the results are good, we’ll plant it like this next year.”
“Then after plowing my family’s land, I’ll help you plow your land.” Mu Yangling said, “Uncle and the others also have a lot of work to do. Wouldn’t it be nice if every family had an oxen? That way, it will be much easier on everyone.”
Smiling, Madam Liu-Zhao said, “That’s what rich families think. It’s already not bad for our five families to share one oxen. Who can afford it when one oxen costs eight taels of silver?”
