"My lady, it’s time to go back," said a woman with a tattooed forehead respectfully to Lin Zige.

"Ziyin, I am leaving." Zige stood up to leave, and Xiangsao immediately came over to support her.

"Take good care of your lady," Ziyin instructed Xiangsao.

Xiangsao respectfully agreed, although it could be said that rather than being a servant of Zige, she was acquired by Lin Ziyin for their entire family. She was genuinely grateful to the Lin Family.

"Don’t tackle everything by yourself, leave the heavy work to Xiangsao and the others," Lin Ziyin advised her a few times.

"I know." Zige agreed and left with Xiangsao.

"Miss, not many people in the Northern Land raise sheep, so the wool we can gather is limited," said Konyi and the others when they arrived at the wool workshop with a dozen bags of wool not long after.

"That’s fine, this year’s amount will suffice," Lin Ziyin said with a smile. "We should be able to collect more wool gradually. As more families raise sheep next year, the situation will improve."

She opened the bags and found that the wool collected was of good quality. She then instructed Konyi, "Look for some quicklime tomorrow, let’s give it a try."

"Alright," Konyi agreed cheerfully.

"Miss, are we still making soy milk?" Jia Gu asked casually.

"Definitely not for now, we don’t have enough beans," Lin Ziyin replied, "We’ll have to wait until the second half of the season before the soybeans are harvested."

In order to gather enough beans, Lin Ziyin has been striving. Even in the remote wastelands, she instructed people to sow beans directly there, even though those lands hadn’t been properly cultivated.

Although results from sowing beans in the wasteland were not promising, the survival ability of beans is extraordinary. By autumn, there would certainly be a harvest.

The steps taken by Chu Suifeng’s estate essentially mirrored hers. Hei Yi also had people plant a large patch of beans randomly in the depths of the wasteland.

Thus it seemed, there would definitely be enough beans by autumn.

"Grandfather, eat more." As the weather got hot, Lin Ziyin grew smarter. During the winter season, she had already had a good number of big ice pits built, so every household including the Lin’s workshops and the main houses already had ice in the summer.

Summer’s heat did not affect the Lin family at all.

"After finishing your meal, get some good rest. You’ve lost weight recently," the old master urged, looking at the thinned Lin Ziyin with a sigh.

"Little sister, don’t solely focus on the farmlands. Leave it to the long-term workers. You’ve been indeed working too hard lately," warned Lin Changshu, frowning.

"Sister." Changting looked worriedly at her. "You should listen to grandfather and brother and rest for a few days."

"Aunt." Little Yanzhi looked at Ziyin anxiously.

"I always lose weight during the summer, but I’ll be fine," Lin Ziyin said, smiling.

Seeing her persistence, everyone else had no choice but to insist she rest after dinner.

Lin Ziyin didn’t want to make her family feel uncomfortable, so she went back to rest honestly.

To be honest, Lin Ziyin felt her life was extremely happy, even though it was busy and fulfilling.

She was indeed exhausted and fell into a deep sleep on the bed soon after.

In the silent night, a group of figures appeared in Shili Village.

"Woof woof woof." Suddenly, all the dogs in the kennel started barking wildly, causing panic amongst the other dogs. The barking woke the villagers and triggered the village dogs to join in the commotion.

"What should we do?" The man dressed in black asked his leader.
