Inner Thoughts Exposed: Reborn General's Farming Daughter Has a System Chapter 112: Xiao Qingya’s Secrets

Xiao Jingran imdiately handed over a glass of water to Zhou Wenzhi, who had choked upon hearing Zhou Anran’s words.

"This egg is from the chickens at the barn?" He was astonished.

Xiao Yuxi tilted her head and joked. "Why are you so surprised, Grandfather? The chickens couldn’t be all roosters, right?"

"No," Zhou Wenzhi shook his head and muttered, "These are all hens, but they are still young and should need another two weeks before they can start laying eggs."

The Xiao family mbers coughed softly and glanced at each other.

"Maybe the livestock trader forgot about the chickens’ real age or accidentally picked the older ones?" Xiao Fenghao offered a not-so-convincing explanation.

Zhou Wenzhi shook his head. "Judging from their size, the trader wasn’t wrong. They haven’t reached the adequate size to lay eggs."

Even though he harbored so doubts, Zhou Wenzhi didn’t want to interrupt the family’s dinner ti, so he changed the subject and urged them to start eating.

After dinner finished, he went to the barn to check for himself. As soon as he entered the place, he found Guo Tianliang staring at the chickens.

"Master Zhou," he greeted Zhou Wenzhi after he snapped back to his senses.

"The chickens had laid eggs?" Zhou Wenzhi was straight to the point, crouching down beside Guo Tianliang to see inside the chicken coop.

Guo Tianliang was a widower, and he had no other relatives left beside his uncle’s family. He found the job of taking care of livestock in the Zhou family’s house through a middleman. Because he lived alone, he agreed to stay at the watch room in the barn instead.

"Yes, yes!" He nodded furiously. "Master Zhou, you don’t know that..."

He began to explain the strangeness that happened between Xiao Qingya and the livestock. Upon listening to Guo Tianliang’s recounting, Zhou Wenzhi fell into a deep thought.

"Master Zhou... is your granddaughter the reincarnation of so kind of divine beast?" Guo Tianliang was a straightforward person and said whatever was in his mind.

Zhou Wenzhi waved his hand off. "What kind of nonsense is that?"

So dots were now connected together, gradually weaving into a guess that touched upon the truth.

His youngest granddaughter... is she related to the changes in his eldest daughter’s family? They suddenly found an innovation for a new drink from soybeans, and also improved rice quality...

Unlike others who didn’t know the truth, he was well aware that the rice seeds they had planted in their fields had similar quality with his fields’ rice seeds.

But... how could the harvest yield be so vastly different?

"Don’t tell anyone about this." Zhou Wenzhi warned.

Guo Tianliang imdiately nodded and pledged. "Don’t worry, Master Zhou. I will keep this secret tightly sealed."

Besides his straightforward personality, Zhou Wenzhi also liked Guo Tianliang’s honesty. That was the reason he had chosen him to take care of the livestock and also beca the temporary guard for the Zhou family’s old house.

Zhou Wenzhi, who already gleaned so truth, glanced at his eldest daughter the mont he went inside the house. Zhou Anran looked away a little guiltily.

She knew that her father must have found so clues.

Xiao Qingya was still a baby and a little clumsy. The little one thought that she was hiding all her secrets quite well, but she didn’t know that she still had little tail exposed sotis.

Fortunately, her family was there to block and help her to hide it.

Zhou Wenzhi cleared his throat. "Have you all finished planting the seeds into the nursery trays?"

Slightly relieved, Zhou Anran nodded and imdiately explained. "We have all the nursery trays ready. They should begin to sprout in a few days and be ready for transplanting in two weeks."

Speaking of transplanting the young rice plants into the fields, Aunt Dong and Aunt Li had done it a few weeks ago, and in two or three months the rice plants would be ready for harvest.

The Xiao family was really looking forward to the result. They wanted to compare the first batch and second batch of seeds.

They also rembered Aunt Tian, the first person who was interested in their rice seeds. Her fields should be the first ones to be ready for harvest in one or two months, similar to their third batch.

The twins were already planning to ask her the mont they saw her again at the village market.

Zhou Wenzhi stroked his short beard. "We will plant the rest of the rice seeds tomorrow."

The next day, Xiao Qingya trotted toward the barn again. Ever since she heard that the chickens were too young to lay eggs, she had been worried.

[This spring water didn’t have any negative side effects, right, System?] Xiao Qingya opened the chicken coop.

This ti, Guo Tianliang no longer stopped her, just watching quietly while he fed the oxen and goats.

[Host, this water is also useful for all living beings. It has absolutely no negative effects.] The System explained rather proudly as if it were its own product.

[Huh? All living beings? Humans too?] Xiao Qingya scratched her little head.

[With the amount of spring water you have, the effect is better on animals compared to humans, Little Ya. Moreover, your family has been eating and exercising a lot. They are healthy.]

The spring water would have less effect for her family mbers unless they get the undiluted version, but the amount she received was only so much and wouldn’t be enough for all of her family mbers.

The little one nodded and focused her attention back to the chickens. They all seed to be healthy, and didn’t seem to suffer from any side effects.

[So, System, where can we get more spring water? Will it be available on the system’s shop in the future?]

Upon hearing this question, the System found it a pity. So transmigrators had a magical space equipped with spring water from the start. On the contrary, its host was incredibly poor.

[They might sell it in the future, we just have to keep gaining points to unlock more items.]

Unknowingly, another month and half passed.

Now, it was ti to harvest the third batch of their paddy rice. The result was even more unexpected than the last batch.
