Chapter 162: Picking Up Stones

```

"Forget it, having something is better than nothing, right? Being able to get them to allocate two acres to us is already pretty good," Madam Xie wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve as she spoke.

Indeed, even for those two acres of poor land, the Mo family had felt the pinch for quite some time.

Old Lady Mo went around the village saying that they had done their duty by them. Even divorced daughters-in-law had gotten two acres from the Mo family—what more did they want from them?

"But look at all those stones, how can we pick them up?" Xuexue was still visibly angry. Some stones were firmly embedded in the ground, requiring tools to pry them loose—one should not be too abusive.

"It's alright, mother will take her time. You and Big Bull go back," Madam Xie said, then squatted down again to pry up the stones from the ground.

"How long will it take for you to do it alone? We should help you," Xuexue insisted, seeing that Madam Xie had started working again.
