Chapter 99: New Fragrant Fruit Obtained
Hongxiang was anything but polite to him, coldly snorting, "You deserve it! You don't know how to cherish your own daughter, yet you sold your own for someone else's! Are you even human? Everything you're going through now is your retribution. You don't deserve a house full of children and grandchildren. If you want children, wait until your next life!"
After saying that, she took the arm of the man beside her and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Hongxiang also took all of Du Dajiang's money.
Du Dajiang scrambled to his feet and chased after them, yelling, "You two adulterers, just you wait! I'm going to report you to the authorities!"
Hongxiang turned to look at him, "You're going to report it to the authorities? Don't worry, even if you do, no one will believe you!"
She spoke softly, but her husband had a short temper and kicked Du Dajiang directly, saying, "You better behave yourself. Don't even mention reporting to the authorities; I have plenty of ways to make sure you can't leave Xiangtan Village!"
Du Dajiang was in pain and kept crying out.
The man, arm in arm with Hongxiang, quickly left the place.
Du Dajiang was furious and got up, still wanting to report it to the authorities.
However, perhaps he was injured and dizzy, and he did not leave Xiangtan Village until dark.
Left with no other choice, he could only go home to eat something and rest to recover from his injuries.
The Du family, which was once quite popular, withered away in an instant, and Du Dajiang became a truly lonely figure.
Inside the Zhou family residence, the guests gradually dispersed.
Dr. Xu stayed until the end. He took out a packet of seeds from his pocket and handed it to Aunt Zhou, saying, "I'm just a barefoot doctor, and I don't have anything to give you. If you don't mind, please accept this packet of seeds."
Aunt Zhou took it and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Doctor Xu smiled and said, "When I was fighting in the Northeast, a friend gave me seeds of fragrant fruit. I heard they came from the Western Regions and the seeds that grow are very fragrant. Aren't you incense makers? You can try them."
Aunt Zhou was overjoyed to hear this. She had indeed heard her elder brothers mention before that there were fruits in the Western Regions that they didn't have here, and it turned out that they really did exist.
Doctor Xu continued, "However, I don't know if you can grow this fruit."
Aunt Zhou looked down at the seeds in the bag and smiled, "Yes, it's possible. The mountains and rivers in this village are good; they will definitely grow."
Du Wanchun came out of the room and happened to hear it. She came over and said, "Mother, this is a good thing. With this fruit, we can make a blend of incense that no one in the entire Xuan Yue Kingdom can make."
Aunt Zhou nodded. "That's right."
Dr. Xu looked on with great satisfaction, then looked at Aunt Zhou again and again, saying, "Little Zhou, you look just like my friend."
Aunt Zhou smiled and asked, "What's your friend's name?"
Dr. Xu quickly shut his mouth and said nothing more.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Aunt Zhou didn't ask any further questions, and then asked Zhou Zhao to take Doctor Xu home.
Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun huddled together, staring intently at the seeds.
"Wanchun, have you ever planted a tree?" Aunt Zhou asked Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun shook her head. "No, but Mother, why don't we try the method of finding a way to grow vegetables?"
Aunt Zhou nodded, "Okay, we'll sow these seeds in the soil in the backyard to help them sprout, and then plant them in the ground once they emerge."
After she finished speaking, a trace of worry gradually appeared on her face. "But how long will it take for this tree to grow up and bear fruit? Otherwise, if we have to wait seven or eight years, then it will be too late for us to reap the rewards."
Du Wanchun smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards, "No rush, no rush, I'll plant them first. Maybe they'll grow faster than the radishes in the ground?"
