Lin Tang was still unaware of the additional effect her locust repellent had had, which the villagers had already discovered.

She was feeding the pigs in the back courtyard with Goudan and the others.

The Lin Family's pigsty was cleaned in the morning, at noon, and in the evening.

The smell was still strong, but bearable.

Three pigs that had grown significantly larger were rooting around in the stone trough.

They were chubby and looked quite healthy.

Seeing the pigs that had fattened up since she last saw them, Lin Tang said with a smile:

"These pigs have put on a lot of weight!"

Goudan hastily boasted, "Of course! My dad and my uncles feed them several times a day."

"And me and my brothers and sisters, we've also picked lots of pigweed for feeding."
