Chapter 220: What Is So Good About This Place?

After the autumn harvest in Linjia Gully, the rice fields had already been reaped.

In the harvested paddies, eight-year-old Lin Luoyu clutched a small pouch in her hands. Barefoot, she lowered her head and searched every inch of the field.

She was looking for rice grains or rice ears that had been left behind.

Although the field had already been searched at least twice by the landowner and was basically picked clean, people always missed things.

Lin Luoyu did not expect to find any intact rice ears. What she mainly searched for were individual rice grains scattered in the mud.

The search had to be careful but also quick. After each autumn harvest, the rice stalks would be burned as the most primitive fertilizer, ensuring a decent yield the following year.

Lin Luoyu’s eyes lit up as she reached into the mud. Very quickly, she pulled out a rice ear that had been rolled into the soil.

Although the grains were covered in mud and far from plump, in Lin Luoyu’s eyes they seemed to glow.

Suppressing the joy in her heart, she hurriedly stripped the grains from the rice ear one by one and stuffed them into the small pouch.

With this unexpected gain, Lin Luoyu searched even more diligently.

But unfortunately—

Good fortune was only an occasional mercy from the heavens. Most people spent their days waiting in misfortune for that rare moment of pity.

After combing the entire paddy field, the amount of rice grains in the pouch was not much, but it was enough to cook one pot of thin porridge.

No matter what, it counted as a day’s rations.

She did not mind that the pouch was still damp with mud and stuffed it into her clothes, then hurried toward home.

Just as Lin Luoyu stepped out of the field, a slightly mocking female voice came from behind a roadside tree.

”So young, and you’ve already started stealing?”

Lin Luoyu’s heart jolted, dizziness washing over her as she turned to look. It was the mistress of this field.

She was a somewhat slender middle-aged woman with upturned eyes and a sharp, mean appearance.

The woman sneered. ”Hurry up and return what you took from my field!”

Lin Luoyu did not explain or argue. Though young, she understood that the woman had seen her long ago.

She said nothing while Lin Luoyu was picking, only appearing after she was finished.

If it had only been a few scolding words, Lin Luoyu would have felt merely wronged.

But clearly, the woman’s target was the small amount of rice grains hidden in her clothes.

Lin Luoyu wanted to retort—these were things you were going to burn anyway, things you did not want anymore.

But reasoning did not fill an empty stomach.

She turned and ran, ignoring the curses behind her, lowering her head and sprinting with all her strength.

The middle-aged woman grabbed a branch and chased after her, cursing as she ran.

After some distance, Lin Luoyu felt every breath turn scorching hot. Her throat grew dry, and her legs began to feel too heavy to lift.

But she did not dare stop.

The curses behind her grew closer, as if right at her ears.

The pain of the branch striking her back seemed to already be rehearsing itself.

Bang!

Lin Luoyu felt herself collide with something, and then a pair of arms wrapped around her.

Panting, she raised her eyes in fear. Before her stood a strange woman—someone Lin Luoyu had never seen in Linjia Gully.

At this moment, the woman was looking at her with concern.

”What’s wrong?” Li Junzi asked gently. Her gaze shifted to the middle-aged woman chasing after them, and she showed a calm smile.

”You shouldn’t be so naughty...”

Before she could finish speaking, the middle-aged woman swung the branch without hesitation, bringing it down viciously toward Lin Luoyu.

Whoosh—

Li Junzi raised her hand to block the branch and pulled the filthy Lin Luoyu into her arms.

Before Li Junzi could ask what was going on, the woman’s words poured out like beans from a jar.

”Which family are you from? Get out of the way! I’m going to beat this little thief until she never dares steal again!”

Li Junzi glanced down at the terrified Lin Luoyu in her arms, then looked up at the woman.

”What did she steal?”

”My rice!”

Hearing this, Lin Luoyu cried out through sobs.

”I didn’t steal!”

”Didn’t steal?” The woman sneered. ”Then what’s in that little pouch in your clothes? Isn’t it my rice?!”

Lin Luoyu did not know how to argue. She could only shout desperately.

”It’s what you didn’t want! You didn’t want it!”
