Chapter 160: Gold
Although informing Liu Mazi yesterday about planting honeysuckle seemed like a hasty decision, it wasn't without her own considerations.
It's good that the village can grow crops to be self-sufficient, but they still have to go down the mountain to rob others.
The government is eyeing Qingfeng Village covetously; sooner or later they'll find a way to destroy it. You can't walk by the river without getting your shoes wet.
To put it bluntly, no government would want to let bandits run rampant in their territory, and naturally, the people in the stronghold would not fare well.
It would be better to grow them and sell them to pharmacies that buy them. Even if there were no plague outbreaks, medicinal herbs would still be essential.
Aside from supplementing income and expenditure, if negotiation skills are used properly, the government will also turn a blind eye to Qingfeng Village.
After all, the quantity of honeysuckle on the mountain is already quite good; if one is willing to cultivate it, making a living from it should not be a problem.
"So tell me, why are you unwilling to plant it?"
Yuan Siyin couldn't understand why Fatty Wang wouldn't agree to something that was so beneficial in every way.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just... it's embarrassing for a grown man to grow flowers and plants."
Yuan Siyin hardened her fist: "You think it's prestigious to be beaten by me?"
"No, how could you hit someone, Second Boss?"
She hesitated for a moment, then took the whip from her waist: "You can whip me if you want."
"I'll plant whatever I want, okay?"
Fatty Wang's face was beaming with joy as he voluntarily agreed without being forced.
Yuan Siyin withdrew her golden whip, feeling quite pleased.
Why didn't she just say she was willing? Why force her to use the whip?
"By the way, Liu Mazi, I'll bring you the ledger in a bit. Just follow along and copy it exactly."
Yuan Siyin gave many detailed instructions. After returning from the farmland, she even went out of her way to the riverbank to break off a newly sprouted willow branch, which she wove into a bracelet to tease Jin Cancan.
Jin Cancan, who was chasing the dog in the yard, swallowed hard and hesitated to answer.
"Sister Jin, you...you don't have a fever, do you?"
No, reach out your hand.
Yuan Siyin snorted irritably and barely managed to slip the bracelet onto his chubby, lotus-root-like hand.
Jin Cancan stuck out her tongue and shook her willow ring with fresh delight, "Thank you, Sister Jin."
Yuan Siyin propped her head up and watched his childish actions, then suddenly called out his name.
Jin Cancan shuddered in fright and instinctively protected the back of her head: "Sister Jin, you can say whatever you want. I will definitely listen and will not resist."
Yuan Siyin's lips twitched, and she reached out to pinch his chubby little face: "Do you want to be rich and powerful?"
Upon hearing the words "great wealth and honor," Jin Cancan's eyes lit up immediately: "Sister Jin, you've decided to join our Qingfeng Village?"
When will you take us down the mountain to rob us...?
With a loud "bang," he was flicked on the forehead.
"Dream on." Yuan Siyin scoffed.
“If you want to get rich, listen to me. Tell your dad to clear out the back hill and plant honeysuckle.”
Jin Cancan looked up with a pitiful expression, rubbing her forehead involuntarily: "Will planting it yield gold? I don't ask for much, silver is fine too."
Yes, it will.
Yuan Siyin suddenly laughed.
Life will not let down those who live earnestly; all the efforts they put in will eventually turn into gold.
"Then I want to plant, I want to become very rich, and I want to go back to see Uncle Beggar and buy him steamed buns to eat."
After Jin Cancan finished speaking, she squatted down and began to scribble crookedly with small stones, muttering to herself: "First I draw my dad, then I draw myself, next to me are my aunt, second aunt, and third aunt making me something delicious."
This is Sister Jin, beating up the fat guy!
"Then there will be lots and lots of silver coins, and an endless supply of steamed buns..."
