The other end.
After Tang Li finished his work in the shop, he went to the market to find a suitable house for Wei Xiaotao.
However, after looking around and finding nothing suitable, she went home directly.
There were guests at home, one was Dr. Su, and the other was Li Youcai, the leader of the road construction team.
"Doctor Su, Brother Li, why are you here? Did something happen in the village?" Tang Li asked directly.
"Mrs. Wei, I have something to discuss with you." Li Youcai spoke first.
"What's the matter? Brother Li, just tell me."
"I am now the village chief of Lijia Village." Li Youcai said.
Tangli was a little surprised.
The original village chief of Lijia Village was Li Fugui. It was obvious that Li Fugui was not willing to give up his position easily.
"Sister-in-law Wei, when we were building the road before, Cao Lao Er from Cao Village brought a group of people to cause trouble. Do you remember?"
Tangli nodded: "Remember."
"Li Fugui deliberately told Cao Laoer about that. When the villagers found out, they were furious. Then they went to find the head of the village and said they wanted to replace the village chief. Then, the villagers collectively elected me." Li Youcai said.
Before, Li Youcai was the first to respond to the road construction issue and then took the lead. He is a man who gets things done, much better than Li Fugui, who is timid and bullies the good and fears the evil.
"Sister Wei, there is a severe drought this year and the harvest in the village is poor. This winter is going to be difficult. The family has only porridge and sweet potatoes for one meal, and the kids are starving and looking at you with pitiful eyes. As the village chief, I have to think of a solution. I thought that the fields in our village are all on the mountain and rely on mountain water for irrigation, so there are droughts every year. I thought about it and thought, if the fields are dry and we can't grow food, what can we grow? So I went to ask Doctor Su for advice, and Doctor Su said that we can grow medicinal herbs." Li Youcai said.
Doctor Su nodded: "Yes, you can grow medicinal herbs."
Doctor Su lives in Lijia Village. He is an outsider and chose to live in Lijia Village. When he and his wife traveled through mountains and rivers to get here, a villager gave him a sweet potato.
Doctor Su felt sad to see that the villagers were not getting enough to eat, so when Li Youcai came to him, he immediately made a decision.
"So what can I do?"
"Mrs. Wei, can the herbs in your medicine bag be grown by us?" Li Youcai asked.
This medicinal herb is difficult to grow, and even if you grow it, it's even harder to sell it. Even if you can sell it, if the price is severely suppressed, it will be a waste of effort.
Tang Li raised his head and met Li Youcai's expectant eyes.
This person really wants everyone in Lijia Village to have enough food to eat.
Tangli lived in the village for a while. Although there were some weirdos like the Chen family and Du Xiaohe and his wife, there were more good people like Aunt Gao. She would help whenever she could.
Tang Li quickly made up his mind: "I'll take care of the selling problem."
Li Youcai suddenly became happy and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Sister Wei! Sister Wei, you are really the lucky star of our Lijia Village."
Tangli invited Li Youcai and Doctor Su to have dinner, but they refused and went back to the village.
Tangli was worried about this matter and thought that he had not been back to the village for a while, so he squeezed out a day and took Erbao and Sanbao back to the village.
The mother and her two daughters returned in a ox cart.
As soon as you enter the village, you will attract a lot of attention.
"Sister Wei, let's go back to the village."
"Sister-in-law Wei, you have become more beautiful again."
"Wow, these two kids are growing up so fast."
People on the street greeted each other.
Tangli was wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket, and the two babies were also wearing small cotton-padded jackets, which were made of pink and white, completely different from the clay dolls in the village.
"Mrs. Wei has really made something of herself. I heard she opened a rouge shop in town and is making a lot of money."
"A medicine sachet factory and a rouge shop, how come Sister-in-law Wei is so capable?"
"Look at those two kids. They used to roll around in the mud, but now they're being raised like rich young masters and young ladies."
"Wei Qing is lucky to have found such a great wife."
The villagers murmured.
Tangli took the two babies to the medicine capsule factory.
There are a lot more people working in the medicine capsule factory, about twenty people in total. The yard, which was somewhat empty before, now seems a bit crowded.
"Ah!" Lanhuaer saw Tangli first and exclaimed in surprise.
Tangli looked at the white and tender orchid and gestured: "It's taller."
Lanhua held Tangli tightly and refused to let go.
Mrs. Su came out from inside.
"Xiaotang!"
Mrs. Su has recovered and is now energetic and looks like a strong woman.
Tangli and she have similar ideas and they can chat well.
"Where's Doctor Su?"
"I went to call a meeting with the villagers together with the village chief."
"Are you talking about growing medicinal herbs?"
"Yeah, it's not that simple. It's very troublesome. He's old, but he loves to cause trouble."
"Sister, don't you like Dr. Su like this?"
Mrs. Su blushed slightly: "We are an old married couple, and you still say you like me."
Tangli gave a wicked laugh and said, "I'll go take a look."
"Okay, I'm busy here, let Lanhua take you there."
Lanhuaer took Tangli to the village chief's house.
Li Youcai's home is in the middle of the village, a dilapidated adobe house. There are many people in the house now, some standing and some sitting directly on the ground.
"Okay, then let's grow medicinal herbs. My uncle's family grows medicinal herbs and they can make a lot of money."
"Yes, if we grow medicinal herbs we can have enough to eat."
"The village chief still has an idea."
Some people agree.
“What if we can’t sell the crops after we grow them?”
"Yes, your uncle earns money because someone buys it. I heard that some herbal medicine merchants specialize in cheating people and the price they charge is very low."
Some hesitated.
"We have found the person who collects the medicinal herbs, it's Sister Wei." Li Youcai said with a smile.
Just at this moment, Tangli came.
"Sister-in-law Wei!"
"Sister-in-law Wei is back."
When the villagers saw Tangli, they all greeted him.
"Yes, I agreed with the village chief yesterday that I would collect the medicinal herbs we grow." Tang Li said.
"Mrs. Wei is such a nice person. She still remembers us even after she has become successful."
"Yes, from repairing roads to collecting medicinal herbs, the village chief always talks about it. Mrs. Wei is the lucky star of our village."
"Since Sister Wei is harvesting, I'll plant it."
The villagers were very happy.
"How can this be considered kindness? I think you just want to make our money. We can't even get enough to eat, and you still want to make our money. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" A sarcastic voice sounded.
Li Youcai's face suddenly fell and he looked at the person who spoke.
"Du Xiaohe, how can you talk like that? I was the one who asked Sister Wei for help! Sister Wei is helping us. You're being rude and ungrateful!"
"Then who knows if she is greedy for benefits?"
"Let me say this right here. This kind of medicinal herb is entirely voluntary. If you don't want to grow it, forget it. You can leave now." Li Youcai said.
But Du Xiaohe didn't leave. She wanted to listen again. What if other people made money, wouldn't she lose a lot of money?
