Some people envy it, while others are jealous.
They worked hard for more than a month, but they didn't get as much as Han Luoxue did without doing anything.
Han Qiang called over Han Luoxue and Han Mingyuan, told them his decision, and pointed out the two families he was not going to give anything to, the one that would receive 10% and the two families that he was not going to give anything to.
Han Mingyuan was also very angry when he heard this.
His daughter gave him sweet potato seedlings first, and they had agreed to pay for the seedlings in return for the sweet potatoes, but now they're not paying.
How could people act like this? These people have no sportsmanship. Han Mingyuan glared fiercely at those people, especially those who refused to give in, telling them not to expect his daughter to take them in the future.
Han Qiang also sighed:
"The rest of the people volunteered to give 20%, Xueya, how about I have someone send you some sweet potatoes later?"
Han Luoxue could directly store the sweet potatoes into her spatial storage, but it's inconvenient to do so with so many people around, so she'll pass.
"Can."
"Hey, Xue girl, most of everyone's land is lying idle right now. What do you think about planting something else?"
Han Qiang looked at Han Luoxue with anticipation. He knew that what Han Luoxue brought out was different from what they had grown before.
He felt helpless; it was Xue Yatou who had taken them under her wing without holding a grudge, yet some people in the village couldn't accept it.
"Let them go back first!"
Han Luoxue pointed to the person who was unwilling to give even a tenth of a jin, and smiled:
"Since you broke your promise, I'll consider those sweet potato vines a gift from me."
The two families also felt embarrassed, glared at Han Luoxue, and ran away.
He kept talking as he walked:
"What kind of nonsense is this? We're all neighbors, why would we ask for payment for a few sweet potato vines?"
"Hmph, what a piece of trash! She's such a jerk. She has so much grain at home, but we have so many children, and this little bit of sweet potato isn't nearly enough for us. How could she possibly have the nerve to take our sweet potatoes?"
"mean."
Hearing the voices of the two families, Han Qiang's face darkened even more. He wanted to go out and say a few words to them, but Han Yuchen raised her hand to stop him.
"You kept your promise, but everyone is grateful that I gave you an extra 10% for the seedlings. Why didn't you give an extra 10%?"
"My family...my family isn't having an easy time either."
"Yes, we have many children, many people to feed, and not much land. Our family has always been very poor."
"Are you poor? Are you as poor as Han Wen's family?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone began to refute him.
Han Wen, who was singled out, hurriedly said:
“Snow Girl, my family is having a hard time. We have many children and can’t grow many sweet potatoes. But if it weren’t for you giving me the sweet potato vines, my family wouldn’t have made it this far. I’d be happy to give you even half of them, let alone two-tenths.”
He was a man in his thirties or forties, with an honest and kind face.
“They said you only provided the sweet potato vines, and we did everything else – watering, weeding, and so on. We’ve done a lot of work over the past month. But without your sweet potato vines, no matter how much work we did, we couldn’t grow such good sweet potatoes.”
Hearing these incredibly simple words, everyone in the room fell silent.
Two people who were offering 10% suddenly said:
"Han Wen is right. Xue Yatou, I'm sorry, I'll go back and get the sweet potatoes right away. It doesn't matter if we eat one more or one less, you saved our family."
Han Luoxue nodded in satisfaction and said to the other silent person:
"You gave me 10% as agreed, so I'd like to give you a piece of advice: the sweet potatoes you breed yourself won't have the same effect as the ones I gave you. I suggest you don't waste your time."
She's said it all; whether people believe her or not is their business.
Not only those few families, but everyone else heard it too.
"As for what to plant next, I already have some ideas. I'll discuss it with the village head in a bit. Oh, and the team leader should stay and discuss it with us too. We'll let everyone know when we have a result."
Han Qiang was also very excited when he heard that he was finally going to plant something.
"Grandpa Village Head, how old are Han Wen's children?"
After everyone had left, Han Luoxue suddenly asked.
You speak Korean?
Han Mingyuan thought for a moment: "They're about your age, the oldest is fifteen or sixteen, and the youngest is two or three years younger."
“We’re going to open a shop in town in a few days, so let’s take one of his children with us.”
Han Luoxue is taking care of Han Wen's family.
The team leaders all looked on with envy; they also had teenagers in their families and wanted to go too.
They can eat their fill and also broaden their horizons.
"Snow Girl, that's wonderful. Their family is going through a tough time. Let's help them if we can."
Han Qiang nodded: "Their children are all of good character. You see, everyone was starving and there was no food recently, and their family was in the same situation, but they would rather starve to death than sell their children. That's very good."
Han Luoxue nodded. She was starting to admire Han Wen and thought she could mentor her more in the future.
"By the way, you said you had an idea, what are you planning to plant?"
“Last time, the reason I encouraged everyone to plant sweet potatoes was because they have a high yield and are filling. Now that we have some food reserves, I think we don’t necessarily need to plant sweet potatoes anymore; we can grow more varieties. Of course, if you all want to continue planting sweet potatoes, I have no objection.”
"Little Xue, what else do you have besides sweet potatoes?"
"My corn is also less than two months old, but the season isn't right now, so planting it now will probably affect the yield. I suggest planting it next spring. Potatoes take about twenty days, cabbage about twenty days, spinach less than half a month, and radishes about twenty days. That's all that can be planted for now."
Han Luoxue added one last point: "The seeds I'm talking about have a short maturation period, higher yields than what we usually grow, and are very easy to manage. However, the only downside is that you can't save them for future seeds. If the yield is poor after you save your own seeds, don't blame me."
"The seeds I give you only guarantee the first yield."
“We understand.”
Han Qiang nodded hurriedly. His eyes had widened just now. These were maturing at least half as early as before.
With such high production, even if they only received 20% of the output, they would still make a profit.
"Snow Girl, should we accept the money for those seeds and then use it as payment?"
Han Qiang asked tentatively, since when they planted sweet potato seedlings, almost every household had no food left, but now it was different, and they had a lot of sweet potatoes.
"Okay, I don't mind, anything is fine with me."
"Then let's stick with 20%. But to be honest, I think 20% is still a bit low."
“Grandpa Village Head, you know I don’t care about these things.”
If she really cared, she wouldn't have given them the seeds in advance. Besides, the value of these things isn't just the price of ordinary seeds.
"Grandpa knows you're a good girl."
Han Qiang was deeply moved. It was a blessing for their village to have Xue Yatou; it was just that some people didn't know how lucky they were.
