Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Dealing with Famine_1

"...Okay." Xia Ningxing’s nose suddenly felt sour, though she didn’t know why.

"Bao’er, Grandma believes what you said too!" Mrs. Cheng had originally wanted to chat with Old Mrs. Lu, but as soon as she entered the room, she heard the above conversation. She immediately walked in with small steps, firmly supporting Xia Ningxing.

"Grandma!" Xia Ningxing immediately showed a smile upon seeing her.

Madam Yun, upon hearing what Mrs. Cheng had just said, became scheming, "So, Mrs. Cheng, does this mean your family isn’t planning on farming this year?"

"Not farming!" Mrs. Cheng replied without a doubt.

With a locust disaster coming, why bother planting? Was it to specially feed the locusts?

Madam Yun was filled with contempt and envy upon hearing this, thinking how foolish! They were just like her foolish sister-in-law, acting all high and mighty with their few coins, to the extent that they highhandedly decided against farming! Pah!

Despite her inner disdain, she smiled warmly on the surface and said enthusiastically, "Then, Mrs. Cheng, since your family isn’t planning on cultivating the land this year, how about letting our family use it for a year?"

"As you wish." Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly, "But let me be clear from the start, if there truly is a locust disaster and you end up without a single grain, don’t come blaming me for letting you farm the land."

"Rest assured, I won’t," promised Madam Yun.

What nonsense about a locust disaster!

Each and every one of them actually took the child’s dream seriously, utterly muddle-headed!

Madam Yun despised them from the bottom of her heart.

Mrs. Cheng had walked more roads than Madam Yun had eaten salt, so it was clear what Madam Yun was thinking. With a cold huff, Mrs. Cheng took Xia Ningxing by the hand, "Bao’er, it’s getting late, let’s go home and sleep with Grandma."

"Okay, Grandma!" Xia Ningxing obediently nodded and waved to Lu Tingli, "Lu, I’m going home to sleep, good night."

"I’ll walk you out," Lu Tingli said as he followed them out of the Lu Manor.

"Sister-in-law, you can’t plant on this land, your family will lose a fortune!" Once they had left, Mrs. Lu was extremely anxious, earnestly trying to stop her sister-in-law to prevent unnecessary losses to their family.

She absolutely believed in Bao’er.

She believed that her dream was real!

Madam Yun snorted coldly, "Sister, you’re married off now; you shouldn’t meddle in your natal family’s affairs."

With one sentence, Mrs. Lu was rendered speechless.

Indeed, since ancient times, a married daughter was considered like water that had been thrown out, without any right to meddle in her natal family’s matters.

Looking at her own mother and brother standing silently by the side, Mrs. Lu’s heart suddenly felt icy cold.

"Exactly, I, a married-off woman, shall not meddle anymore. You can do whatever you please, Lu, go to the Cheng Family and call Tingli. We’re returning to the Capital City tonight!"

...

In contrast to the Lu Family’s disbelief, Old Mrs. Cheng’s household fully believed what Xia Ningxing had said about the locust disaster and was preparing to stock up on food from the next day.

"Mother, should we tell the villagers about this?" Aunt Lin hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question.

After meditating for a moment, Mrs. Cheng decisively shook her head, "Let’s not do that. I just told your Aunt Lu’s family, people who are so close to us yet didn’t believe it. Other people are even less likely to believe it. However, you can mention it to your maternal family or close friends; for the rest, leave it to fate."

"Remember, we’re commoners, we can’t manage too much. Besides, if we spread the word widely and those with ulterior motives learn of Bao’er’s special ability, it could attract unwanted attention." Mrs. Cheng spoke with grave seriousness.

In the end, let everything follow the course of history. They couldn’t force others to believe in their child’s dream just by pressing them, right?

"Mother is right!" The moment Bao’er was involved, Aunt Lin no longer cared about those unrelated people.

In truth, Xia Ningxing wasn’t afraid of anybody’s covetousness, for in the face of absolute power, everything else was insignificant.

However, she also didn’t want to attract trouble for herself.

Moreover, she had already thought of a plan to deal with the impending famine.
