When Diamond arrived, the other farm workers who were there hurriedly made their way towards her, where they greeted her enthusiastically.
Diamond talked with those workers for a while before Cain arrived. With his arrival, the other workers dispersed, and the two started walking towards the new piece of land that was recently ploughed.
"Ms. Diamond, the fertilizer you gave me is working very well. At this rate, I can tell you that the plants will be mature before February," Cain excitedly informed Diamond as they walked.
Diamond nodded her head in appreciation, but her face didn’t carry that excitement she always had whenever she heard something that good.
"Ms. Is there anything bothering you?" Cain asked worriedly upon seeing that there was something wrong with Diamond.
Diamond sighed deeply as she looked at Cain.
Diamond really loves Cain. The man was dedicated to his work, and above all, he never asked a lot.
And having such a person like that by her side, Diamond wanted to keep him and mostly share her worries with him. Especially those that concern the farm.
"I have heard some rumors and it will affect us. Especially us with farms." A concerned expression was on her face as she said that.
Upon hearing that, Cain panicked as he looked at Diamond.
"Ms. What are you saying?" Cain asked worriedly as he stopped in his tracks.
Diamond shook her head helplessly as worry consumed her, but she still spoke her mind.
After all, Cain would help her greatly, as long as he knew what was troubling her.
"There will be a drought and we need to do something about that."
"What? Is that really serious? Is your source really trustworthy?"
"I wouldn’t joke about something like this, Cain."
Cain inhaled a deep breath as he looked at Diamond, who still had a concerned expression on her face.
"If it’s like that, then we should do something about it," seeing that she was serious, he conceded.
"Then I will leave you to deal with it."
"What do you want me to do? I have already planted on all the land!" Cain asked as he scratched his head.
Diamond smiled softly at Cain before responding, "Apart from planting, you can also buy some grains and all that. Store them in the granary and we will deal with them in the future. At the same time, when other crops are mature, plant some short-term crops. Don’t let any crops go to waste. If there are extras, dry them. People can still eat dried vegetables. You don’t want me to explain in detail about that, do you?"
Upon hearing that, Cain’s eyes brightened as enlightenment dawned on her.
He slapped his thigh with excitement before looking at Diamond with an excited expression.
"Hehe, thank you for explaining. I know what to do. Just leave everything to me."
Seeing that Cain had understood everything, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"If you need money, just tell me. I will support you."
"Don’t worry Ms. I will not let you down."
After telling Cain what she wanted him to know, the two of them went to check on the piece of land she had left Cain to deal with before, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.
Diamond didn’t check that area alone but also went to other places. Overall, everything was going well and seeing the farm doing so well, Diamond was in a good mood.
Diamond didn’t leave the farm when she was done but went to the farmhouse where she waited as someone prepared a meal for her.
While the meal was being prepared, Diamond was busy checking the red tea recipe she had received.
She wasn’t knowledgeable in pharmacology, nor was she a herbalist, so she didn’t understand much about the scientific names she was reading.
However, the simple steps to make the tea were as clear as day to her, and that made her sigh with relief.
As long as she deciphers those strange names, she would be able to make the tea. And just thinking of having the tea in hand, Diamond was seeing all sorts of possibilities.
It wasn’t about money but about helping the girls and women out there suffering from menstrual pains.
