Chapter 1035 - 835: Picking Up Cow Dung

Chapter 1035: Chapter 835: Picking Up Cow Dung

This was Tuoba Lie’s intention.

Just as he had said, if Nan Feng was willing to plead with him, to curry favor with him, then he wouldn’t care where her heart was, as long as she was willing to stay by his side, he would treat her well.

He had effectively given her two options, first, to pick up cow dung and become the lowest of the low on the grasslands, or second, to return to him and curry favor, to become his wife; he would take her as his secondary empress, and he even didn’t mind that she had borne another man’s daughter.

But to his surprise, by the afternoon someone had already come to report, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, Lady Nan Feng is now on the grasslands."

"Doing what on the grasslands?" Tuoba Lie gripped his wine cup tightly.

"Your Highness, she is picking up cow dung."

The cup suddenly smashed, narrowly missing the ear of the person who had come to report.

Nan Feng wore a homemade mask as she collected cow and sheep dung while carrying her baby on her back.

This excrement could be processed into fertilizer or used as firewood; it could be collected for reuse. Therefore, there were such jobs available, where one would hand in the collected amount and receive corresponding wages or exchange it for roughly equivalent food.

Nan Feng didn’t think such work was demeaning; she believed that any compensation earned through one’s labor was not demeaning, and as long as it could eventually sustain oneself, it wasn’t demeaning at all.

On the first day, she had collected for half a day and obtained a small bag of flour and a small piece of lamb leg, enough for a day’s rations. Nan Feng thanked the person who distributed the food to her and then carried her things back to make dinner.

For several days this continued, and more and more people came to watch Nan Feng.

Everyone said that the treatment of the Second Prince’s wife was now pitifully poor, having to pick up cow and sheep dung on the grasslands. Although Nan Feng didn’t think there was anything wrong with the job, the people of the grasslands considered it very lowly, so many came to witness her current state.

The clothes she was wearing now belonged to the maid named Saige from before, but there were not many pieces, and they were rather old, because she had used the good fabric to clothe her child.

"Look, how shabby, you tell me, the Second Prince went to such lengths to take her, why not treat her well, instead of making her pick up dung here?"

"She must have been too ungrateful, and the Second Prince can’t swallow his pride."

"Does she still have a chance to be favored?"

"Probably not anymore, though it’s said that having had a child doesn’t matter much, but now she is not pretty at all, all dusty and dirty, even I wouldn’t want her."

"..."

While the crowd was discussing, a haughty voice suddenly rang out again, "Make way, make way!"

Soon, a path was cleared in front, and a woman dressed in red, her head adorned with beads, burst through.

It was Huahua.

Nan Feng had been focused on picking up cow dung, having gained experience over the past few days. For example, when picking up cow dung, she would choose the dry ones over the wet ones, for the wet ones were not only disgusting but also not easy to bag, the lighter the color, the dryer it was, clearly visible to the naked eye. When forking cow dung, she could slowly pile it up, and it didn’t matter if it was pressed down.

Compared to the comments of those around her, she was more concerned with food and her baby in her arms, so she had not been distracted by too much care, but now someone had suddenly burst in, and she looked up, only to see Huahua arrogantly waving several silver coins, "Hey you, picking up cow dung, I’ve got money here, do you want to earn it?"
