The small farming tools had all been borrowed, and it was now Li Dahuhu and Li Dahe's turn to borrow the larger ones. Although these two were not as fond of being petty towards the original owner as Li Ailan and Li Aiju, they never showed her any kindness either. However, today, because of the incident with Li Aiju, both of them felt somewhat embarrassed, and they had already made up their minds that even if Li Jinfeng assigned them the oldest plow, they would not utter a word of complaint. "Borrow a plow!" Li Dahuhu said with a flushed face. Li Jinfeng went about her business in the warehouse, casually selected a plow, and addressed the two brothers, "This one. After finishing the work, remember to clean the farming tool thoroughly and return it in time." Li Dahuhu and Li Dahe both glanced at the plow. My goodness, that was a brand-new plow bought from the agricultural machinery station before the rush harvest of the team, and so far, no one had used it. With this plow, they could plow an extra acre of land in a day's work compared to using an old one. Li Dahuhu and Li Dahe were both a bit surprised, and they secretly glanced at Li Jinfeng, trying to discern some information from her expression. They saw that her complexion was as usual, neither angry with them because of Li Aiju's incident, giving them a cold shoulder, nor taking the opportunity to assign them the oldest farming tools. The scales in Li Dahuhu and Li Dahe's hearts suddenly tipped a bit. They felt that they had been too harsh on this stepsister in the past. After getting the farming tools, Li Dahuhu and Li Dahe went down to the fields, and on the way, the two brothers started chatting. "Big brother, do you think we've been too excessive in the past?"

Li Dahuo asked. Although they had never bullied Li Jinfeng, they had never fulfilled their duty as brothers, even by just speaking up to stop the two younger sisters from scolding her every time. Li Dahuhu was more reserved, and it took him a long time to respond after his younger brother raised the question, 'It seems so, I see she hasn't held a grudge!' 'Big brother... maybe... maybe we could give sixth and seventh sister a gentle reminder from the side in the future?'

Li Dahuo swallowed nervously and spoke with difficulty. Li Dahuhu didn't speak, but his expression clearly agreed with what Li Dahuo said. ... After distributing all the farming tools, Li Jinfeng didn't go to the sun-drying ground to turn over the rice; the wound on her forehead was very serious. Combined with the hot weather, if she sweated, it was easy to get infected and suppurate. So she had to endure it and stay in the warehouse. Before long, she heard singing from the paddy field side, singing songs that were quite common in this era. "East Is Red," "All Members Are Sunflowers," "We Walk on the Great Road," some were even off-tune, but everyone had a great atmosphere, laughing happily. Li Jinfeng was infected by this laughter and hummed a few lines herself. At this moment, she felt that, aside from being poor, this era wasn't really so bad. Suddenly, the singing stopped, and then someone started shouting, "It's bad, someone has fainted, someone has fainted..." The field ridges turned into chaos. The person they were shouting about, who had fainted, was called Su Dahua, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the team. The Wang family's population was comparable to that of the Li family, and with an irresponsible sixth son who constantly stole grain from the rice jar to exchange for cigarettes and snacks, the Wang family's food had long been insufficient for the family's needs. Su Dahua, who was also worried about her several children, had saved her own rations and had been hungry for two days, already seeing stars. Now, after going to the field and doing heavy work, she fainted directly.
