The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1053 - 1047: Harvesting Potatoes

Gu Youyou had grown accustomed to this kind of life, initially feeling very embarrassed, but now she was quite calm about it. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Evening was the only time for fun, what else could they do?

It was the same for every newlywed couple.

Jin Zijin, massaging Gu Youyou’s belly, whispered, "It’s about time to get pregnant, isn’t it?"

Gu Youyou’s mouth twitched as she removed his hand, replying, "Is it that easy? My body was too frail before, it’s not easy to conceive."

"Oh?" Jin Zijin raised an eyebrow and said, "Then I must try harder, striving to conceive sooner."

Gu Youyou couldn’t help but smile wryly, pushing away his approaching body, "No, we must be restrained."

"How can we be restrained if we’re trying for a child? If we restrain ourselves, how will we have a child?"

Gu Youyou: "..." Are these two related?

"Having children isn’t like that, oh dear, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you, it’s too complicated to explain in a short time. Anyway, I know what I’m doing. When it’s time for me to tell you to work hard, I’ll let you know. Not these days, it’s a safe period, let’s wait a few days."

"There’s a safe period?" Jin Zijin admitted he really didn’t understand.

"It’s really troublesome, just don’t let any day slip by. Come, let’s go to sleep."

He lifted the washed clean Gu Youyou from the water, wrapped her in a blanket, and dried her body.

Lying on the bed, Jin Zijin talked about the events of the day.

After listening, Gu Youyou curled her lips and said, "King Jin has misused private punishment and killed so many common people, and ends up just confined to his own house for a month? Isn’t this punishment too light? Instead of saying he’s confined for a month, it’s better to say it’s a month of good rest at home. Who came up with this terrible idea?"

Jin Zijin laughed, "This terrible idea, of course, came from the Protector of the Nation. Seeing King Jin’s demeanor, he harbors resentment towards the Protector, because he always feels he’s done nothing wrong. But had the Protector not come forward to impose confinement, the punishment he’d receive wouldn’t just be a month."

"Did the Emperor agree to this too? Is your father really that apprehensive of the Protector?"

"What are you thinking about?" Jin Zijin gently pinched Gu Youyou’s nose, saying, "With the Protector suggesting it, King Jin has directed all his resentment towards him, which is better than any punishment."

Gu Youyou found it ridiculous, but said nothing more.

So all those people were merely killed by King Jin for nothing?

But in this society, that really was the case.

Gu Youyou asked, "So will the victims’ families receive any compensation?"

Jin Zijin replied, "They should, but you don’t need to worry about this. The Imperial Court will give an explanation."

She naturally didn’t bother to care; there were so many injustices in the world, and she wasn’t idle with nothing else to do, how could she mind everything? With the recent relief efforts, she had already done her best.

Gu Youyou suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh, I previously asked someone to collect a large amount of potatoes, it should be time to harvest them."

Jin Zijin frowned slightly, asking, "Why did you collect so many potatoes?"

Gu Youyou explained, "Potatoes grow quickly, especially the autumn potatoes. Plant them next month, and in two or three months, they will be ready to eat. This year, the south suffered from floods, and there may not be enough food to last until the next harvest season, and everyone can’t wait until next spring to start planting crops. I figured potatoes yield high and grow quickly, making them ideal for mass cultivation right now."

Jin Zijin, stunned for a moment, poked Gu Youyou’s head forcefully, saying, "I really want to see what’s inside your brain, you’ve thought it through so thoroughly. This action really helps the Imperial Court a lot."
