He must bring Zhou Dazhu to justice as soon as possible to completely resolve the problem.
Chen Changyuan handed Zhou Dazhu over to the police.
Zhou Dazhu was detained according to law on charges of arson and premeditated robbery.
When the news reached Zhou Changhe and his wife, they were immediately furious and ran to Chen Changyuan's medicine field to make a scene.
Wang Cuifen sat down on the ground, started throwing a tantrum and rolling around, crying and wailing. "Oh, why is my life so miserable? Changyuan, you're going to kill us old couple! Dazhu is your brother, how could you be so cruel to send him to jail!"
Zhou Changhe stood aside, his face livid. He pointed at Chen Changyuan's nose and cursed, "You ungrateful bastard! Our Zhou family raised you with good food and drink, and this is how you repay us? You just can't stand seeing Dazhu getting better, so you deliberately framed him!"
Chen Changyuan watched their performance coldly, without any fluctuation in his heart.
He had long seen through the true colors of the couple and knew that they didn't care about Zhou Dazhu's life or death at all, but just wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail him.
An Caicai couldn't stand it any longer and stood up and said, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, what you said is wrong. Dazhu broke the law and should be punished by law. Brother Changyuan handed him over to the police just to uphold justice."
Wang Cuifen jumped up, pointed at An Caicai and cursed, "You little bitch! What do you have to do here? Stop trying to sow discord!"
An Caicai was not to be outdone and retorted, "You all know whether I was trying to sow discord or not. Everyone saw what Dazhu did. Not only did he try to rob Brother Changyuan of his medicinal herbs, he also set fire to the herb fields. This is a crime that's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt!"
Zhou Changhe and his wife were suddenly speechless.
The surrounding villagers also accused them of not educating their children well and allowing Zhou Dazhu to do evil.
Zhou Changhe and his wife knew they were in the wrong and left the medicine field in shame.
After the farce ended, Zhang Mazi brought good news.
A large pharmaceutical factory in the city was very interested in Chen Changyuan's medicinal materials and was willing to provide financial support for him to expand the scale of cultivation.
When Chen Changyuan heard this, he was overjoyed.
He knew that this was a rare opportunity for development.
He decided to take advantage of this opportunity to transform the damaged medicinal fields into a more scientific planting base.
He deliberately cleared a piece of land to try to grow some precious medicinal herbs.
These medicinal herbs have a high market value. If they are successfully cultivated, they will bring him huge economic benefits.
Lao Yuantou also brought a few young people from the village to help.
Everyone worked together to start the renovation project of the medicinal field.
Chen Changyuan took An Caicai to the city to inspect the pharmaceutical factory.
Zhang Mazi drove his old truck, bumping along the way and raising a cloud of dust.
An Caicai sat in the passenger seat, covering her nose with a handkerchief from time to time and frowning.
"Cai Cai, this road is not easy to walk on, please bear with it."
Chen Changyuan said with concern.
An Caicai forced a smile: "It's okay, Brother Changyuan, I can still adapt."
Zhang Mazi looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror and chuckled, "Miss Caicai, if you really can't stand it, just sit in the back and I'll make room for you."
An Caicai quickly waved her hand: "No need, Brother Zhang, I'm fine sitting here."
When he arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, with the introduction of Zhang Mazi, Chen Changyuan met the person in charge of the factory - a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with meticulously combed hair.
After some pleasantries, Chen Changyuan went straight to the point and introduced the situation of his medicinal herb planting base and expressed his desire to cooperate with the pharmaceutical factory.
The person in charge listened carefully to Chen Changyuan's introduction and nodded from time to time to express his appreciation.
He said that the pharmaceutical factory has been committed to finding a high-quality medicinal material supply base, and Chen Changyuan's medicinal field scale and medicinal material quality meet their requirements.
After some discussion, the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
The pharmaceutical factory was not only willing to invest in the transformation of the medicinal fields, but also promised to provide technical guidance to help Chen Changyuan improve his medicinal herb cultivation skills.
On the way back to the village, An Caicai said excitedly, "Brother Changyuan, this cooperation is really great! With the support of the pharmaceutical factory, your medicinal material base will definitely develop even better!"
Chen Changyuan nodded: "Yes, this is all thanks to the help of Brother Zhang."
Zhang Mazi waved his hand and said, "Brother Changyuan, you're too polite! We are brothers, and it's only natural for us to help each other!"
An Caicai looked at Chen Changyuan, her eyes full of admiration: "Brother Changyuan, you are amazing! In just a few months, you have developed the medicinal material base to such a large scale. I really admire you!"
Chen Changyuan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just did what I should do."
An Caicai suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother Changyuan, I've been learning some modern business management knowledge recently. I think I can help you plan the modernization of the medicinal material base."
Chen Changyuan's eyes lit up: "Cai Cai, are you really willing to help me?"
An Caicai nodded seriously: "Of course, Brother Changyuan, I hope to help you as much as I can."
The two began to discuss heatedly, talking back and forth, sketching out the future blueprint of the medicinal materials base.
They decided to build standardized planting greenhouses on the original basis, introduce advanced irrigation equipment, and establish a complete quality management system.
After returning to the village, Chen Changyuan immediately called together the members of the cooperative and announced the news of cooperation with the pharmaceutical factory and the plan to transform the medicinal fields.
The villagers were very excited when they heard this.
They know that this means their income will increase further and their lives will get better and better.
Chen Changyuan also announced the first batch of profits of the cooperative.
Old Yuantou took the thick stack of money with a smile and said, "Changyuan, you are really becoming more and more promising! I, Old Yuantou, have never made a mistake in my life!"
Other villagers also expressed their gratitude to Chen Changyuan, with happy smiles on their faces.
Chen Changyuan started the modernization of the medicinal materials base.
Following An Caicai's suggestion, he contacted an equipment supplier and introduced an automated irrigation system.
Looking at the brand new equipment, Chen Changyuan's heart was full of anticipation, as if he saw the scene of a bumper harvest of medicinal materials.
However, reality gave him a heavy blow.
A few days after the equipment was installed, it broke down.
The control system failed, resulting in over-irrigation of medicinal herbs in some areas and no water in others.
Some of the medicinal herbs that were originally growing well began to rot, while others withered and turned yellow.
Chen Changyuan was extremely anxious and hurried to the field to check the situation.
He squatted down and dug up the soil with his hands. He saw that the roots of the medicinal herbs had begun to rot and a musty smell hit his nose.
His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He had worked so hard to grow these medicinal herbs and poured so much effort into them!
