Xiqiu didn't quite understand, so she asked Zou Bochang, "What do you think?" Zou Bochang replied, "I think the wheat's growth looks good, the fruit trees haven't been much affected, but the sweet potatoes aren't showing much progress... As for the castor beans, they're doing quite well."
So it seems that only the wheat she planted in her land is growing the worst.
"What do you think about it?" Xiqiu asked lightly, since he was so familiar with the details, he must have some ideas in mind.
Unexpectedly, Zou Bochang hesitated and said, "I did have some thoughts at the time, but now I think there are some difficulties. Madam Rong, please give me some more time to mull it over."
Mull it over? Xiqiu listened with a faint smile and didn't respond immediately.
