Her Celestial Farm on the Scrapyard Planet novel Chapter 74

Melton was silent for a moment, eyes fixed on the endless darkness ahead, before answering slowly. “Aside from whatever protective weapon the Hewitts might’ve given her, she herself… isn’t simple. That composure under pressure, that kind of nerve–it’s not something ordinary people have. I doubt all her confidence comes from the Hewitts

Adam took a deep breath of the polluted night air and nodded. “That’s what I think too!

He fell silent for a while longer, as if making up his mind. Then, in a near whisper, he said. “Melton, I’ve been thinking… Tomorrow, I’ll talk to Ms. Schofield about finding a spot near her territory for our small town to use as a temporary residence.”

Melton’s steps slowed slightly as he turned to look at Adam, not in the least bit surprised “You’re not planning to move the entire small town over?”

Clearly, they’d come to the same conclusion.

When they’d first settled where they were now, it was only because it was close to the recycling

station.

And that station had been their only point of resource exchange.

But their way of surviving had changed.

Adam shook his head slowly, a mix of helplessness and resolve on his face. “You heard her earlier. Ms. Schofield made it clear she hates troublemakers. In our small town… we both know

not everyone’s well–behaved. I won’t let a few rotten apples ruin the lifeline our whole small town finally got. And I won’t cause Ms. Schofield any trouble either.”

working right now!”

With that, he scrambled back into the job, moving at least three times faster than before.

Timothy stared at the unbelievable scene, his mouth hanging open.

Then it slowly curved into a goofy grin. “Heh… I knew it… Ms. Elizabeth wouldn’t be in troubl She’s way too awesome.”

Selina shot him a look. “Now you say that.”

The people of Hope Town exchanged glances, their shock beyond words.

What in the world was going on?

How did the infamous Black Rats enforcers end up here… cleaning up trash?

And getting herded around with pebbles like livestock?

Adam and the others were bursting with questions and started forward to ask what had happened.

Just as they were about to step across the white gravel boundary line, Selina tugged on Adam’s sleeve again and reminded him in a low, serious voice, “Mr. Rose! Ms. Elizabeth made a rule- visitors knock.”

Tiffany, Melton, and the others who were there for the first time instinctively looked around in confusion. Knock?

Out here in the middle of nowhere, what door are we supposed to knock on?

After the reminder, Adam smacked his forehead. “Right, right! I’m really getting old!”

He quickly stopped and walked over to the wooden post with an iron basin and a stick hanging from it.

Grabbing the sturdy stick, he struck the slightly warped iron basin three times. Clang! Clang! Clang!

The crisp metallic sound rang sharply through the quiet night, instantly breaking the strange rhythm of the “construction site” and carrying clearly to the “foreman” on the recliner not far

away.

Elizabeth paused mid–motion, stopping the toss of her stones, and looked toward the sound.

After all that sort of tech wasn’t exactly rare in the military anymore.

As Mrs. Blewitt, it wasn’t strange for Elizabeth to have access to things like that.

When she mammed, she found Tasha standing frozem in place, staring blankly at the bowl of potato strips in her hands.

The next send. Tiffany herself was nearly overwhelmed by the rich, spicy aroma rising fro the heap of wolffang potato.

The fiery scan of chili and seasoning was nothing like the mild, clean smell of boiled porator she remembered. It was sharper, rougher, and far more tempting

Tasha’s small me twitched nonstop as she stared at the goldem strips, her throat bobbing as swallowed again and again.

Unable to hold back any longer, she asked softly, “Mom… c–am try this wolffang potato?”

There was a quien longing in her voice.

Wolffang potato–chan was what Elizabeth called it.

Seeing her daughter trying so hard to behave while practically drooling, Tiffany’s heart felt both tender and tight.

She said gently, “Ms. Elizabeth gave it to you. So eat. Just remember her kindness. Tomorrow we’ll work hard and repay her

“Okay!” Tasha nodded vigorously, her face breaking into a bright smile

She carefully wiped her hands on her worn but clean clothes, then picked the plumpest- looking strip and held it up to Tiffany’s lips. “Mom, you first!”
