So I'm a sheep.

Vernon looked at him with disbelief: "What grand ambitions could you possibly have, you silly boy?"

"I want to be a great hero in the future, and go to the capital to farm!"

...................................

Vernon was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“Girl, even if you can grow a big golden pumpkin while farming, you won’t become a hero.”

"What?"

"Do you understand what a hero is? A hero is someone who does great things. What great thing is farming?"

"Nothing is more important than eating!"

Sasha casually remarked, "What in this world is more important than eating? If we didn't farm, where would we get our food?"

"Therefore, farming is of paramount importance."

"..."

He had a whole set of fallacies, and the key point was that Vernon couldn't find any rebuttals.

*Slap!* Another slap landed on his forehead.

Why did you hit me again?!

"How many times have I told you, girls should speak politely."

"If you keep saying 'us' and 'us,' I think you're asking for trouble."

Sasha rolled her eyes and continued planting rice seedlings with her head down.

Being just a child, he soon became exhausted, with a sore back and aching waist, and was panting heavily.

Vernon saw this and felt very sorry for him.

"Now you know what hardship is, right? Second daughter, listen to your father."

"Go to town to learn a skill, and you can easily make a lot of money in the future!"

"But I don't want to be separated from you..."

Sasha said sadly, "Dad and sister are the best people in the world to me. I just want to be with you and I don't want to go anywhere else."

"My second daughter, your father can't bear to part with you either."

“But if you don’t go out, you’ll only be a clumsy, uncouth daughter-in-law who farms for your mother-in-law’s family in the future. Sigh.”

Emotionally speaking, Vernon was closer to the second girl.

The eldest daughter was sensible and filial, but Vernon often sensed a kind of indifference from her, so he could never get close to her.

The second daughter calls him "Dad," sometimes without any respect for elders, which actually makes him feel quite affectionate.

“Why rush to send your daughter away? I’m still young. We can talk about learning a trade later.”

"You didn't appreciate this rare opportunity. Fine, you'll just have to follow me and farm the land for now."

......................................

As autumn turned to winter, Lachesis, carrying straw, went to the sheepfold to feed the sheep, then rubbed her hands together and returned to the cabin.

"Have a sip of water to warm up"

Taking the scalding cup, the girl paused for a moment before saying, "This winter is so cold. We're resting inside, and Dad has to go up the mountain to gather firewood."

"Dad..."

Seeing her sister glare at her, Sasha quickly changed her tune: "There's nothing I can do about it. Dad has to farm all the time, so he doesn't have time to go up the mountain to chop firewood."

"Were you even trying to help?"

"I'm helping!"

Sasha said loudly, "Didn't you notice that dinner was already cooked as soon as you got home? Could you have finished so quickly without my help?"

Lachesis nodded silently, then suddenly sighed, "Our family doesn't lack the money for firewood. I'll talk to Dad about it another day."

"I don't think it's going to work!"

Sasha shrank back onto the bed: "We, well, the most hardworking men in our village, can't stay idle even in winter."

“If you let him stay home and rest instead of doing anything, he’ll definitely feel uncomfortable.”

"..."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I'm going to tell you something amazing, sis! I've made a huge discovery recently!"

"Ok?"

"Don't the villagers say that rice plants are divided into male and female? Actually, that's not true. Each rice plant is both male and female."

"Their babies are born to themselves!"

Lachesis nearly spat out her hot water. She gave her sister a reproachful look: "Instead of learning farming properly from Dad, what are you thinking about all day?"

"This isn't just wild speculation, it's a major discovery!"

.....................................

Sasha said, "When we were old, didn't Dad plant the best-growing rice together, thinking that the next generation would be better off?

Yes, that's true.

Lachesis climbed into bed: "But in the end we failed, and the villagers laughed at our family."

"My great discovery perfectly explains why we failed that time, because rice plants can produce their own offspring, so even if you gather the best rice plants together, it won't help!"

"Is that right?"

After a pause, the older sister added, "Even so, your discovery doesn't seem to be of much use."

"No, I haven't finished yet."

Sasha straightened up: "People are different from one another, and so are rice plants."

"Some rice plants are inherently 'stronger females than males,' meaning they can't produce offspring on their own and need to borrow seeds!"

"What utter nonsense!"

Lachesis blushed and reached out to tap her sister on the head.

"How can you, a girl, speak so rudely!"

"Hey, stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I'm being serious!"

Sasha quickened her pace: "Some rice plants can't produce offspring; they need to borrow seeds. So, could we plant better varieties of rice around here to improve the next generation?"

Volume 1: Chapter 610 Obsession

That sounds somewhat reasonable?

Lachesis glanced at her sister: "You want to try doing it your way?"

"kindness!"

Sasha nodded vigorously: "Sister, think about it, if our family harvested ten or twenty times more rice than other families every year, then Dad wouldn't have to go up the mountain in the dead of winter to chop firewood to exchange for money."

Upon hearing this, Lachesis's expression softened considerably.

"I thought you were up to some mischief again, but it seems I really underestimated you this time."

"hey-hey"

After receiving praise from her older sister, Sasha became even more enthusiastic.

"Give me a year, and I'll make our family one of the most prominent families in town!"

When Vernon returned, Sasha quickly told him about her great discovery.

"Oh, you should try it when you have time."

A tenfold or twentyfold harvest? Er Yatou must be dreaming!

Vernon didn't say anything hurtful, but the smile on his face betrayed him.

Damn it!

Knowing that her father was just there to laugh at her, Sasha felt a surge of annoyance.

I'll definitely succeed and show you!

After the weather warmed up, Sasha got up earlier than the chickens every day and came home later than Vernon.

The little girl spends all her time in the fields doing who-knows-what, and the adults in the village just shake their heads when they see her.

"If you can't herd sheep well, you won't be able to concentrate on farming."

"She's so immature, Vernon just lets her do whatever she wants."

"Compared to her sister, she's nowhere near as good!"

More and more people started gossiping, but Sasha didn't care.

Although she appears lively and active, the second daughter of the peasant family also has a withdrawn side.

Aside from playing with her older sister, she didn't fight with the other children in the village.

Apart from his own father and sister, who were close relatives, the other villagers were all insignificant.

Let them say whatever they want, Sasha doesn't care if they say a thousand things.

......................................

Humming a song as she returned home, Lachesis immediately spotted her younger sister sitting blankly at the door.

"Sasha, what's wrong?"

Lachesis rushed to her sister's side and asked anxiously, "Did Dad scold you?"

"without"

"Were you bullied?"

"without"
