The land from Yuan Chun's family was leased to the elder uncle's family for cultivation. All the grain produced, apart from what's handed over, leaves a hundred pounds for the elder uncle's labor fee; the rest is given to Yuan Chun.
This arrangement was the result of discussions among several elders.
Initially, both the second granduncle and the elder uncle refused the grain. They were just exerting some effort to help Yuan Chun with the farming, and it felt inappropriate to take advantage of a little girl by taking a hundred pounds of her grain.
However, Yuan Chun insisted on giving it, so the elder uncle agreed.
On the village head's advice, the two even signed an agreement.
The second uncle and aunt's family came gleefully and were embarrassedly sent away, which led them not only to hate Yuan Chun but also the elder uncle's family.
"Yuan Chun, let's see how a useless girl like you is going to live well," Ge Cuilan spat at her maliciously.
