She was also at the harvesting field, she stared at the generous harvest of the other villagers and then turned to look at her own pitiful harvest. Unlike others, she refused to sign a contract with Yu Dong as she felt that Yu Dong was taking advantage of her and her family's hard work.
She was only letting them have the seeds and would at most plough the land once. So why should she share the harvest's earnings with Yu Dong? Wasn't it better that they got to eat and drink by keeping their earnings to themselves?
However, now that she was looking at the plump and shiny rice, Lin Tianhui felt like she was going to suffocate.
Not only was her harvest pitiful, the rice was also small and coarse. It was not as good as the harvest of the other villagers.
"This…This…why is our harvest like this?" Lin Tianhui turned around and blad Old Master Tong, "Did you not care for the crop when you sowed it? How co only our harvest is like this?"
Old Master Tong sneered as he threw the basket of rice that he was holding on the ground and turned around to glare at the woman.
"Are you really blaming
for the bad harvest? Have you forgotten that when I asked you to help
with the fields you refused and now you are blaming ?" Old Master Tong was greatly annoyed by Lin Tianhui these days. She did not help him in anything, she did not even take care of their daughter.
Old Madam Yu had cared for him and their children when he gave birth. Thus, it ca as a bad surprise for Old Master Tong when he saw that Lin Tianhui was not caring towards their daughter.
He had to take care of their daughter and work in the fields, instead of giving him the respect that he deserved this woman was blaming him?
"And have you forgotten? When I went to ask Yu Dong for the seeds and the contracts, it was you who stopped
from signing them. Who are you blaming? It's your fault! Who else can you bla but yourself?"Old Master Tong snapped at the woman who was speaking nonsense.
Lin Tianhui was furious when she saw that Old Master Tong had pushed the bla on her head. Not Willing to admit defeat, she said to Old Master Tong, "Still, if you had taken good care of the fields nothing like this would have happened."
"And you are completely free of the responsibility? Don't think that just because you did not co to the paddies, you are free of the bla either!"
"You…"
Yu Cheng watched his grandfather and Lin Tianhui fight and quarrel, however he did nothing to stop them as he was more worried about the harvest of their family's rice field.
What was he supposed to do now ?
He thought that as long as there was a good harvest he would be able to coax a few taels out of his grandfather but the rice was too coarse, it was unripe and there was no shine to it.
Forget about taels, it would a suprise if their family could even get a few pennies for this rice harvest!
'Now what am I supposed to do?' Yu Cheng bit his bottom lip and started worrying about his future.
Bai Lixia only gave him three days. And one of the days was already over, if this went on then he would surely lose everything!
He had already lost his hands and couldn't do anything with them anymore, so how could he miss out on the opportunity of marrying Ji Chuan?
No matter what the situation, he had to marry Ji Chuan or else his life would be ruined!
He could not let his efforts to be ruined.
Yu Cheng left Old Master Tong to quibble with Lin Tianhui and walked out of the village. He had to co up with a way to get the hundred taels that Bai Lixia had asked at all costs or else he would lose everything.
With his feet moving while he was lost in thoughts, Yu Cheng arrived at the town in no ti. However, once he arrived at the town, he had no idea what to do anymore.
He paced around the town while thinking of a situation when ——-
"Soone help!"
"Soone help ! My restaurant is on fire!"
The sound of panicked cries echoed on the streets and Yu Cheng turned to look in the direction from where the sounds were coming from.
A small restaurant that was at the side of the street was set ablaze. Most probably it was due to the heat that was rising day by day.
"Soone help!" The woman who was the owner of the restaurant scread again.

However, no one wanted to help her. The restaurant was set on fire and there was drought going on in the town, if they used water to douse the fire then what would they drink?
There was no way they could use their precious water to suppress this blaze!
When the owner of the restaurant saw that no one was willing to help her, her eyes turned red with worry. She had almost given up on all hope when soone in the crowd dashed past everyone and rushed in front of the restaurant.
She was holding a bucket in her hands which was filled with sothing.
Yu Cheng recognised the woman at once because it was Yu Tong. What was she doing here?
He looked around the street and saw that the r bar was just around the corner. No wonder Yu Tong was here, she must have co here to slave under Yu Dong.
Yu Cheng snorted feeling rather amused by Yu Tong's foolish actions. Did she not know water was scarce these days? She was bound to be scolded by Yu Dong for wasting water.
Who knows she might even be kicked out of her job.
That would be fun to watch now.
Yu Cheng stood where he was and waited for Yu Tong to make a grave mistake but three seconds later his expression twisted and it morphed into a sinister one.
What the ———-
