That afternoon, Mrs. Wang, ignoring Yang Family's pleas to stay, packed up and took everyone with her. She said, "The New Year celebrations are over, and you have work to do. That wasteland needs to be cleared soon. Spring will be here before you know it, and the days will fly by. If you don't get an early start, how will the two of you manage all the work? Farming is no joke—it requires careful attention. First, clear the land. Plant whatever you can. Don't worry about the yield for now; the priority is to fertilize the soil and let it recover."
Yang Family smiled. "We're planning to plant Shanyu in that wasteland. Shanyu are easy to care for. We'll plant as much rice as we can, but if we can't manage it all, we won't kill ourselves over it. People are what's most important, after all."
Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly, telling her to be careful not to overwork herself.
