Han Li finally relaxed slightly after realizing I was not scolding her harshly.
But unfortunately for her—
I had not finished speaking yet.
I turned toward her slowly, tilting my head slightly as I rested one arm against the table.
"And before I forget," I said calmly, "since the meat is affecting you so badly already, then tomorrow you can join the farmers."
The entire hall became silent for one second.
Han Li blinked.
"…What?"
A few villagers nearby immediately lowered their heads, clearly trying not to react too quickly.
I continued evenly as if I was discussing something completely reasonable.
"You can help clear weeds, loosen soil, carry water, and separate stones from the farmland," I said. "That way healthy crops can appear faster for you."
Han Li stared at me in complete disbelief.
"Miss Yanyu," she said weakly, "I only made one comment."
"And now one comment earned you one full day of labor," I replied smoothly.
