People bustle about in the world for profit; it’s fair to say that without profit, there is no joy.
Now, these onlooking villagers are like spectators, but what if the matter involves their own interests? Then they would definitely side with whichever benefits them, otherwise, they’d be foolish!
Whether growing dicinal herbs can make money, they don’t know, but seeing the Li family busy themselves for the two dicine fields, anyone with so sense would pay attention.
In fact, over the past few months, people have co to the Li family to inquire, but the Li Family mbers have always been vague about it, not intending to say it outright.
This only deepened the villagers’ curiosity, but many people didn’t understand those herbs, so couldn’t even distinguish them, so no one went to imitate it.
But now Long Yue actually said they would promote the planting thod of these herbs? Doesn’t that an everyone can grow so herbs at ho?
"Is growing these herbs really that profitable? Better than growing grain?"
"I don’t know yet, but when I went to the dical hall to get dicine, it cost a lot of silver; herbs are quite expensive. We can give it a try!"
"But shouldn’t we still grow grain and not just focus on herbs? We could starve!"
"Are you silly? If you’ve got money, won’t you be able to afford grain?"
"..."
The villagers watching the drama suddenly erupted; Long Yue’s words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing waves of restless ripples.
Wang Zhihuan squinted slightly; his wife had also nagged him about the Li family’s herb field, saying the Li family had sothing new going on in their fields, wondering if he could go seek so advice, maybe earn so inheritance for the children for better days ahead.
But he was the village chief, people in the village called him "esteed and respected" with "high moral virtues," yet for such a person to go inquire about others’ business... Wouldn’t he be laughed out of the village? Could he still keep his dignity?
His wife had been pestering him about this, he was troubled, but now Long Yue was actually going to share the planting thod?
This is really like getting a pillow when you feel sleepy!
"Ahem!"
He coughed lightly, hiding his pleasure, he must maintain his esteed image, he glanced faintly at Chai Qiao’er who was following him, this girl was resourceful, if she hadn’t co to find him, he might have missed such a good opportunity!
He stroked his beard, putting on a serious face, confirming again: "This is a profitable business, do you really plan to share?"
"Of course! I, Pang Longyue, always an what I say, once I promise, I’ll stand by it!"
After speaking, Long Yue felt the villagers’ gaze turn fervent, as if they were looking at a golden ingot, while Mrs. Li Zhou’s face turned pale, like she’d lost her parents.
Long Yue smiled slightly at her from a distance, the smile was quite provoking, like a villain gloating.
"You... you little brat!"
Mrs. Li Zhou gritted her teeth in anger at Long Yue, if looks could kill, Long Yue would have died countless tis already.
Her hand trembled, her breathing rapid, she wanted to cry and curse, but with the village chief here, she couldn’t break out, even had to put on a smiling face, it was frustrating enough to make her want to spit blood.
"Third Lady, can this dicine field really make money? I have five acres of land, all planted with grain, just afraid it won’t work out, and waste the grain..."
The speaker was an aunt, she had been watching the show, even feeling resentful towards the ungrateful couple Long Yue and Qiao’er, but after seeing the confrontation, she realized the Li Family mbers were unreasonable.
She was already feeling guilty, hearing Long Yue say everyone could prosper, how could she hold back? She quickly went up to ask.
"Why wouldn’t it work?" Long Yue smiled innocently, but her big eyes were full of calculation, she said, "Actually, it’s easy to solve this, you don’t have to plant it all at once, you can wait until the grain in the field matures before planting! This way you won’t waste the grain, and can spare ti to learn first, besides, by the ti of your autumn harvest, the herbs on Li family’s land would have been harvested several tis, then you’ll see the effect, right?"
"Oh, that’s true! Oh dear, how could I be so dumb?"
The aunt slapped her forehead, exasperated yet jubilant, Mrs. Li Zhou watched and felt a rush of blood to her head, she cried and rushed towards Long Yue.
"Little brat, so you just took our family as a trial, huh? Our whole family busy for so long, just to be your foil? I’ll... I’ll tear you apart!"
"Hey, hey, Mrs. Li, don’t, stop!"
"Big sister, don’t do this!"
The villagers had ntally sided with Long Yue by now, so one by one they went up to restrain the crazed Mrs. Li Zhou.
Mrs. Li Zhou was restrained by everyone, and seeing Long Yue smiling at her, the anger felt like the whole world was an enemy!
"Mrs. Pang, you little wench, what was I thinking, to believe your gibberish! You’ve brought disaster upon our family! You heartless, deranged little brat should be struck by lightning and die..."
Mrs. Li Zhou struggled wildly, but how could she win against so many people? Eventually, her fury turned into tirade, furiously spitting towards Long Yue.
The harsher she spoke, the more Wang Zhihuan found her lacking virtue, finally losing patience, he waved his hand coldly: "Enough! You’re an adult, yet causing such a scene, aren’t you ashad? Go ho! Besides, since you’re letting the third leave and establish her own household, then she’s no longer a Li Family mber, this matter is settled!"
"What? Village chief, you can’t, you can’t! This little brat had malicious intentions from the start, scheming against our family, village chief, you can’t be muddle-headed..."
"Take her away!"
Wang Zhihuan was furious, what’s she saying? Calling him muddle-headed? Seems he was too lenient, that’s why she had the audacity to act wild on his watch!
The authority of the village chief wasn’t small, such trivial dostic matters were beneath the village court, with a word from him, the matter was settled, Mrs. Li Zhou wouldn’t be able to make a fuss.
Sending people to dismiss the Li Family mbers, Wang Zhihuan squinted and smiled at Long Yue: "Let’s have a talk!"
