The rain kept getting heavier, even the most persistent and willing farmers couldn't continue working in the fields, and one by one, they shouldered their tools and headed home.
By the time Lady Zhang, along with Lian Zhizhi and Lian Manman, had finished preparing the meal and everyone was seated at the dining table, the rain outside was still falling, with a tendency to grow even heavier.
"With the rain falling like this, we won't be able to get into the fields tomorrow," Lian Shouxin, looking at the dense curtain of rain through the window, raised his glass to Wu Yugui. Not being able to get into the fields means no work can be done. We'll have to wait until the fields dry up a bit before we can continue planting crops, which will delay things. "We were lucky to have Third Brother Wu helping us out this time; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to finish planting today no matter what."
