Chapter 315: Slingshot

The villagers of Qili Village had successively harvested all the beans from the fields and were recently battling with the weather, stepping out early each morning to check the sky. If they saw the glow of dawn, they would bring out the wheat and beans to dry, but the moment large clouds drifted by, no matter where they were, they would sprint back to gather the beans and wheat.

With the remaining leisure time, they cut the hemp from the fields to process it.

The Zhou family, being numerous, had nothing particularly urgent to do after helping Zhou Hu collect all the beans.

Junior Ms. Qian had soaked some beans and every morning had to make two slabs of tofu to send with Zhou Erlang to the county town. It was strenuous and time-consuming work, and to avoid delaying Zhou Erlang, both Junior Ms. Qian and Zhou Dalang would rise at the crack of dawn to grind beans.

It wasn't until the tofu was made that the rest of the family would get up.
