Chapter 681 Cooperation with Zhoujia Village

Ever since Zhou Kui went to jail, the position of clan leader was handed over to another person. At the same time, Village Chief Zhou also resigned from his responsibilities due to his old age. Now the clan leader and village chief of Zhoujia Village are the same person.

Like Jiang Shoujia, he holds both positions.

As for how Jiang Fubao knew about his family, he went to the village and asked people.

The villagers of Zhoujia Village were nice and warm-hearted. After asking a question, they would show the way to the coachman. Some were even afraid that the coachman might not find the way, so they ran ahead to lead the way.

Behind this person was a little kid, not very big, about four or five years old.

When Jiang Fubao got off the carriage, he took out two unwrapped candies from his sleeves.

I took it out from the space when I was sitting in the carriage just now.

"Here, kid, this is milk candy. Eat it. Auntie, thank you for showing me the way. You wait outside. I'll go in alone."

Jiang Fubao put the candy in the little baby's hand, said thank you, gave an instruction to the servant, knocked on the door and went in.

When he came out again, Village Chief Zhou personally saw him off.

An old face full of wrinkles from smiling.

"Doctor Jiang, I'll take you here. Please go slowly on your way back. I'll notify everyone later. The next day, I'll meet you at the entrance of the village with the villagers."

Village Chief Zhou raised his arms, palms facing upwards, fingertips pointing towards the carriage, back half bent, looking extremely fawning.

You should know that all the villages in Lianshan Town envy Jiangjia Village.

Ever since Jiangjia Village started growing medicinal herbs, their life has been extremely prosperous.

People can eat meat every day except during festivals. The villagers from Jiangjia Village who passed by have all gained weight and have fat on their cheeks.

Unlike them, although the times have been good in recent years and the crops have been bumper, they can save two taels of silver every year, but they dare not eat refined rice. Every household still lives on brown rice and wild vegetables.

Otherwise, a family of more than ten people would not be able to eat their fill. If you want to save more money, you can only save on food.

I heard that many families in Jiangjia Village have built houses with green bricks and tiles, and even several families in the village have bought cows.

You know, there is only one family in Zhoujia Village that has cows.

Village chief Zhou was overjoyed when he learned that Jiang Fubao wanted to cooperate with Zhoujia Village, buy a piece of wasteland in Zhoujia Village, and then let the villagers of Zhoujia Village grow medicinal herbs on the wasteland.

Isn't this the same as sitting at home and watching money fall from the sky?

Although they are needed to open up the wasteland.

But it doesn’t cost any money.

The more you open, the more medicinal plants you can grow at home.

When the medicinal materials are ripe, they can be harvested together.

By then, the villagers of Zhoujia Village will be able to eat delicious food and drink delicious drinks like the villagers of Jiangjia Village.

No longer have to rely on crops to make a living.

If you work hard for two or three years, you will definitely be able to live in a big house.

Village chief Zhou was happy to think that the villagers could live a good life.

He is a down-to-earth person, unlike the cowardly former village chief and village tyrant Zhou Kui. He hopes that every villager in Zhoujia Village can have enough food and clothing and never worry about money. It would be best if Zhoujia Village could become a wealthy village in Lianshan Town like Jiangjia Village.

"Well, the day after tomorrow I will go back to Jiangjia Village to collect a batch of medicinal herbs, and I will come over to talk a few words. If everyone is like you said, and has no objection, after the wasteland is reclaimed and cultivated for a few days, I will bring the medicinal seeds here. Don't worry, I will teach the villagers how to plant and take care of them.

As long as you don't be lazy and don't waste the medicinal seeds and herbs, I will charge you the price I just told you when they are mature. As the village chief, you should talk to them nicely. If they don't want to, I won't force them. If 30% of the people in your village don't want to, it doesn't matter if I move to another village. After all, I can buy any wasteland I want."

Jiang Fubao's words were obviously a warning to Village Chief Zhou.

She chose Zhoujia Village first because she felt that the villagers in Zhoujia Village were not as weird as those in other villages, and most of them seemed to be quite honest.

In addition, the village chief Zhou in front of her was also a kind person, so she agreed to buy it according to the purchase price of Jiangjia Village.

I originally wanted to lower the price a bit. After all, even if I charged them at half price, these villagers could still make a lot of money.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Fubao decided to treat them all equally.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely talk to them nicely. They are not stupid. Don't worry, Dr. Jiang. I can pat my chest and promise you that even if we can get 10% of the crops, let alone 30%, maybe the whole village will be happy to plant it."

Village Chief Zhou dared to be so absolute because he understood the villagers.

Every household is having a hard time, and everyone is tightening their belts to make ends meet.

If you have money but don't make money, you are a fool. No, even a fool can't do this.

Even a fool knows that he feels hungry. If he grows medicinal herbs, he can fill his stomach. All fools will grow them.

"Okay, then you go and do your work. I'll go back first. The clinic can't do without me. By the way, there is a family in your village that doesn't allow her to plant." Jiang Fubao waved at him and got on the carriage.

But before leaving, he opened the curtain and said something to Village Chief Zhou.

"Which family?" Village chief Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Fubao to suddenly ask this question.

"The one who's in jail. Okay, I'm leaving now."

Although Jiang Fubao did not say it explicitly, the fact that there was only one family in the village in jail was equivalent to stating it explicitly, and Village Chief Zhou reacted immediately.

"Okay, I understand."

After hearing the response, Jiang Fubao lowered the curtain. She had previously sympathized with Sun Xiaotao for having suffered such a tragic fate, but she just couldn't bear to see a woman being beaten like that. That didn't mean she would be soft-hearted towards Sun Xiaotao. The harm that Sun Xiaotao had done to Jiang Kang was real, so she hated people like Sun Xiaotao. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person!

They all deserve it.

The coachman whipped the horse, and the horse felt pain and dragged the carriage away.

Village chief Zhou watched the carriage leave the village until it was out of sight and then turned back.

"You three, go to every household in the village and tell them, and gather at my doorstep later. I have something to tell you, so go quickly. Oh, and don't call the one from Zhou Kui's house, call everyone except her."

Village chief Zhou called his three sons and gave them instructions.

"Hey, Dad, let's go now."

Zhoujiacun avoided Sun Xiaotao very much and was unwilling to even mention her name.

As time went by, they all knew how Old Wang died. Although the county government did not investigate, the villagers all guessed that Sun Xiaotao had deliberately picked up the poisonous mushrooms.

In addition, she was the only one at home, and the men kept away from her, fearing that if they got too close, people would gossip about her. When Zhou Kui's family was released from prison, they would definitely cause trouble for him.

What's more, this man can even harm my mother-in-law, which shows that he is cruel. If you can't afford to offend him, you can at least avoid him.

The three brothers left home and went their separate ways. One started from the end of the village to notify everyone, one started from the first house at the entrance of the village, and the remaining one went to the fields to notify everyone.

In just two quarters of an hour, people gathered at the door of Village Chief Zhou's house.

The huge crowd all looked at Village Chief Zhou.

"Village chief, why did you call us here? There is still a lot of farm work to do in the fields. If you have anything to say, please tell us."
