61: Chapter 61: Frequent Defecation and Urination_1 61: Chapter 61: Frequent Defecation and Urination_1 The Yang Familyâs land was not insignificant, totaling about thirty acres, among which there were ten acres of top-grade fields, ten acres of second-grade fields, and an additional ten acres of newly reclaimed land.
In this northern region, few planted rice; the main crops were wheat and corn, so there were not many paddy fields.
Actually, during the previous wheat harvest, it was common to tidy up while reaping.
This time, it was just a matter of cleaning up one more time to make sure no wheat roots or the like were left behind.
Once everything was thoroughly cleared, they would borrow an ox from the village chief in order, ready for deep plowing before sowing.
Old man Yang led his three sons to turn the soil, while Yang Ruxin guided Erni in picking up the wheat roots that were unearthed, tossing them onto the ridges.
When dried, they could also be used as firewood.
âDani, Erni, if youâre tired, take a break,â Yang Baixiang whispered as he passed by the two, âIâll come and help you in a bitâŠâ
Yang Ruxin watched Yang Baixiangâs bobbing back and couldnât help but chuckle.
Uncle Xiaowu really had a kind heart.
It was just too bad that good people did not always receive good rewards.
Yang Peili and Yang Baixiang were both hard and efficient workers, but Yang Baichuan and Yang Baifu were not up to the task.
They had only worked for a while when one needed a pee, and the other a poop, with both dragging their feet in their work.
âLazy donkeys make the most dung and urine when theyâre at the mill,â Yang Peili said somewhat angrily.
âHold it in until we finish the work and then you can go.â
âDad, can you really hold it?â Yang Baichuan frowned, âThat could kill a person.â
âThen pee your pants,â Yang Peili said with a hardened heart, âor else hurry up and work.â
âDadâŠâ
âDo you act like this when you work for your father-in-law?â Old man Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.
âIâŠâ Yang Baichuan was suddenly at a loss for words, then waved his hand, âAlright Dad, will I be fine if I hold it in?â
âBut Dad, Big brother can hold in his pee, I canât hold in a shit, and IâŠâ Yang Baifu bent over, clutching his stomach and groaning, âIf it ends up in my pants, it would be really embarrassingâŠâ
âEmbarrassed?
Iâm not afraid, and neither should youâŠâ
âI canât hold on any longer, Dad, I have to go back and take a dump.
Have Daya come over later,â Yang Baifu immediately dropped his hoe and turned to run.
âYouâŠâ Old man Yangâs face turned pale with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Yang Ruxinâs mouth corners coldly curled, such useless individuals were treasured by the elders of the Yang family.
Meanwhile, their own hard-working kin were not even regarded as human.
Indeed, how splendid.
If they didnât split the family soon, they would be sucked dry by these people sooner or later.
However, the thought of splitting the family made Yang Ruxin sigh inwardly.
This era was not like the future; it emphasized family lineage.
As long as the parents were alive, siblings could not discuss splitting the family.
Otherwise, they would be drowned in condemnation.
Therefore, she could not rush.
She needed an opportunity, ideally one where they would suggest the split themselves.
That way, they would not be criticized in the future for splitting from the main house.
Just then, Erni, who had been on her left, suddenly stood up and moved to her right.
âWhatâs wrong?â Yang Ruxin looked up, âWe havenât collected over here yet.â
Erniâs complexion wasnât looking very good, but she still shook her head: âItâs nothing, Iâll just pick up from this side firstâŠâ Yet, her body seemed to be deliberately blocking something.
Yang Ruxin frowned and stood up straightaway.
Erni hurriedly stood up as well, but her height difference was no match for the person approaching from behind.
