Chapter 250 Three-legged Plow
Chapter 250 Three-legged Plow
Wei looked at the strange thing in her hand and said, "You are not going to use this to help me sow seeds, are you?"
Xia Wanniang looked at her and smiled: "It's very powerful, you will know it soon."
Wei took the cow from her hand and led them to her own land with some doubt.
Xia Wanniang installed the three-legged plow on the ox and smiled at Wei, "Where's the wheat seeds?"
Only then did Wei react and hurried to the field to get the wheat seeds back.
Xia Wanniang took the wheat seeds and poured them into the seed bucket, then patted the cow's butt gently, allowing it to move forward slowly.
Aunt Xiao was afraid that the cow would go astray, so she led the cow in front. After walking for a while and finding that the cow was not going astray, she loosened the rope and stood aside to watch.
Both Mrs. Wei and Aunt Xiao were stunned. It was too fast. The depth was the same and it was done in one go.
The plow is used to dig furrows and sow seeds on the leveled land, while also covering and pressing the soil, killing two birds with one stone and saving time and effort.
Xia Wanniang was not joking. At this rate, it would be too easy to harvest one hectare a day.
Wei's face showed more than just surprise. She should catch those who said she was lazy to see if she was lying.
There are many people in the village who own land. Although they can make money by helping the Xiao family build houses, their land cannot be left idle.
Everyone wanted to finish the planting quickly and go to the Xiao family to help. Who would complain about having too much money?
Wei looked at the tripod and asked, "Can I try it?"
Xia Wanniang gave her the position and taught her how to operate it.
The noise here attracted everyone around them, and they all looked with wide eyes. What was this thing?
Some villagers shamelessly approached Aunt Xiao and asked, "Sister Xiao, what is this thing in your house?"
Aunt Xiao looked at the people beside her, who were none other than Yang Zhu's family. However, considering that they had also purchased fertilizer and a curved plow, she still explained to them, "This is called a three-legged plow, and it's used for sowing."
A group of people ran to Wei's side to watch. They were so envious that tears came out of their eyes. The speed was faster than if so many of them worked together.
The people from Yang Zhu's family ran to Aunt Xiao again and asked, "Sister Xiao, can you lend us your three-legged plow?"
Aunt Xiao: "We have to wait. We haven't planted our seeds yet."
Yang Zhujia smiled smugly and said, "We can wait until you finish using it."
Aunt Xiao turned and looked at Xia Wanniang: Wanniang, do you want to borrow it?
Xia Wanniang didn't want to make too many enemies. She thought that they could get along well as long as they behaved themselves, so she nodded slightly.
After getting her approval, Aunt Xiao spoke: "When we have used up all our money, you can come and take it. But we can't lend you the cow."
"We have already borrowed the three-legged plow cart, so we don't need a cow anymore." Yang Zhujia continued to lobby.
Aunt Xiao shook her head and refused: "No, my ox cart has other uses."
Yang Zhujia couldn't get angry and could only say that he would find a solution.
Xia Wanniang waited until they left before walking up to her and asking, "Mother, why don't you lend them the cow?"
Aunt Xiao looked at the people of Yang Zhu's family in the distance and said, "They are not good people. Some people in the village would lend them a cow before, but when the cow was returned, it was covered with wounds. They also said that the cow was disobedient and complained a lot."
Xia Wanniang understood in her heart that these people treated their cows better than their own sons. They were the most important property in their family and also their most important working partners.
Who can tolerate having their cows beaten like this? It would be strange if they would lend it to them again.
"I saw that during the spring ploughing, they also borrowed cattle."
Aunt Xiao smiled and shook her head: "No one in the village will lend them cows anymore, so they can only go to other villages to borrow, and they have to pay. If they dare to hurt other people's cows, I'm afraid people in other villages will not let them go."
Xia Wanniang smiled and shook her head: "This is bullying at home."
Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Xia Wanniang had originally planned to let Wei take a rest, but she refused to let her do so no matter what, and instead acted as if she was trying to snatch her toy.
Aunt Xiao also shook her head helplessly and pulled Xia Wanniang to find a shady place to stay.
"Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao."
