Chapter 32: Anyone who doesn’t buy crops with such high yield per mu is stupid!
"What happened?" Xiao Ying asked with pretended curiosity.
"How dare you come here, you vicious woman! I'm going to find the head of the village and sue you at the government office!"
As soon as Wang Ergou saw her, he became even more angry, and there was fear in his anger. When he thought of what happened last night, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Wang Ergou, why are you in my field?"
Xiao Ying frowned, his eyes fell on the hoe and backpack beside him, and his face immediately darkened.
"You stole my potatoes?"
She picked up the potatoes from her backpack. They were just planted yesterday and were still covered with dirt. Her face looked even uglier.
"You, you're talking nonsense! I don't even know what potatoes are. I woke up and found myself here."
Wang Ergou was shocked. He didn't expect that the woman had such sharp eyes that she saw the potatoes in the basket at once. He could only deny it.
"Wang Ergou, didn't you just say that Madam Xiao beat you last night? Why are you saying you woke up here now?"
Some villagers heard the flaw in his words and immediately exposed it with a hint of sarcasm.
"Oh... I saw the potatoes in his basket just now, but I didn't say anything. Now it seems that he really came to steal the potatoes. How shameless."
Another villager stood up and said that he could tell at a glance that Wang Ergou was lying.
"So, Wang Ergou came to steal potatoes last night and ended up having his arms and legs broken?"
The others also gradually came to their senses and finally looked at Xiao Ying together. Could it be that it was really Madam Xiao who did it?
Thinking about the day when she broke Wang Ergou's hand, she thought it was not impossible.
Thinking of this, some people showed surprise and fear. This woman was too cruel.
Xiao Ying refused to admit it and said expressionlessly, "Why are you looking at me? Do you really think I hit him? Did I know that he was going to steal potatoes last night?"
Everyone was stunned. That’s true.
These two fields were at least a quarter of an hour's walk from Xiao Ying's house. Who would run here so late at night to see if anyone was stealing? And he just happened to run into Wang Ergou.
But if it wasn't Xiao Ying, then who was it?
"Wang Ergou, did you see with your own eyes that I was the one who beat you last night?"
Xiao Ying stared at Wang Ergou coldly.
Wang Ergou shuddered and remembered what happened last night. He didn't see anyone at all, but was suddenly beaten.
It's like a ghost that suddenly appeared.
When he thought that he might have encountered a ghost, his face turned pale and his whole body began to tremble.
Seeing his reaction like this, everyone made a judgment in their hearts. They thought that Wang Ergou probably didn't even see who hit him.
"It must be Daddy who is blessing us in heaven."
Chen Xingyue suddenly said, staring at Wang Ergou with disgust, but her heart was filled with curiosity.
"Yes, Dad must have seen someone bullying us, so he took action."
Chen Xingyun also reacted immediately, with a look of gloating on his face.
The two sisters knew in their hearts that it was probably their mother who did it. Although they didn't know why their mother could predict the future, they felt very relieved when they saw Wang Ergou's miserable condition.
How dare you steal their potatoes? You deserve to be beaten!
Wang Ergou became even more frightened after hearing this. Could it really be that lingering ghost of Chen Enke?
The villagers looked at each other in confusion. Is there such a thing?
"Mom, how dare this guy steal our potatoes? I'm going to ask the village head to bring justice to him."
Chen Xingyun was about to go to the village as he spoke, and Wang Ergou became completely anxious.
"Don't go, don't go! Madam Xiao, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have stolen your potatoes."
In a panic, Wang Ergou finally admitted that he came to steal potatoes. The villagers were immediately in an uproar, and looked at him with contempt and gloating.
Wang Ergou didn't care about that and was anxious to find excuses for himself.
"I heard potatoes are delicious, so I wanted to dig some up and try them. I have absolutely no other intentions! Look, my arms and legs are broken now, so why don't I just look for the village head?"
Xiao Ying stared at him coldly, making Wang Ergou break out in a cold sweat and keep apologizing.
"Alright, since Xinghai's father has already punished you, I'll let you go today."
Wang Ergou was suddenly delighted and quickly said, "Thank you, Madam Xiao, thank you, Madam Xiao. I knew you were a good person!"
Xiao Ying was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, broke his arms and legs, and said that she was a good person. This was the only level of intelligence that Wang Ergou had.
"If you want potatoes, you can buy them from me." He glanced at everyone and said calmly, "I sell them to Manxiang Garden in town for thirty cents a pound. Since we're from the same village, I'll sell them to ten cents."
"It can be eaten and also cultivated. The yield is very high, with an output of several thousand kilograms per mu."
There was a sudden gasp from everyone around. They knew that potatoes sold well in the town, but they didn't expect them to be so expensive, and they didn't expect the yield to be so high!
The yield per mu is several thousand kilograms, so if they plant one mu, wouldn’t it be enough for them to eat for a year?
Everyone was stunned and full of disbelief. Could it be that Madam Xiao deliberately deceived them in order to make money?
But then I thought about it again and found it ridiculous. People sell it to the town for thirty cents per pound, but I only sell it to them for ten cents per pound. How can they do business at a loss?
So, Madam Xiao said this because she truly regarded them as her close friends.
After thinking this through, everyone looked at Xiao Ying with much more enthusiasm. Madam Xiao had really changed.
Crops with such high yield per mu can be sold at a good price. Anyone who doesn’t buy them is stupid!
"Mrs. Xiao, I wonder how many potatoes you have left?" someone asked.
Xiao Ying took a look and found that it was Chen Ming, who had bought wild boar meat before.
"How much do you want to buy?"
"I need to discuss this with my family first. I'm definitely going to need 20 or 30 kilograms. Why don't you keep it for me first?"
"Can."
Xiao Ying agreed, since there were still plenty of them in the fairy palace space.
"Madam Xiao, I wonder where in the mountain you dug this?"
Another villager asked, it was He Jin who lived near Xiao Ying's home.
He Jin is one year older than Xiao Ying. The couple are nice people. When her original body was not doing well, they would occasionally help her children.
He Jin asked this question because he wanted to go into the mountains to look for it himself.
As expected, the other villagers pricked up their ears. If they could find it themselves, wouldn't that save them money? Maybe they could even sell it in town.
Xiao Ying said calmly, "I found it deep in the mountains, at least eight or nine miles in, and it doesn't grow in one place."
When everyone heard it was so deep, they all gave up the idea. There were many wild animals in the mountains. If they didn't dig up potatoes, they would run into wild boars, wolves, or something like that. That would be the end of it.
I secretly cursed this woman in my heart for being so fearless that she dared to run to such a deep place. It was her destiny that others would dig up potatoes and make money.
"It's so far away, no wonder we haven't discovered it before."
He Jin sighed helplessly, his idea of digging it himself was shattered.
"Then I'll buy twenty kilograms first."
Twenty jins costs two hundred coins, which is not a small amount.
If he didn't know that the potatoes could be sold at a high price, he would definitely not be willing to give them up.
"Then I'll buy ten kilograms to try."
"I have to go back and discuss it with my family first."
The other villagers also spoke up. Since Madam Xiao said there were still plenty of potatoes, they were not worried about not being able to buy them.
"Sure. I have to plant potatoes in the morning. Come to my house this afternoon if you want to buy some."
Xiao Ying achieved his goal and felt happier.
After a conversation, Wang Ergou was completely forgotten. Wang Ergou was immediately angry and sad.
