Chapter 730 Wanyao City
Both families were busy preparing for this day.
All matters of the People's Hall were handed over to Jiang Tonghuo and Jiang Huanyu for management.
Jiang Tongtu was dragged by his grandmother and mother to the clothing shop and the jewelry shop for various measurements and fittings. He left at dawn and returned at dusk.
This went on for several days.
Although he didn't like this, he didn't dare to complain when he thought about marrying Liu Youyou soon.
I wish time would pass faster.
In early November, the streets were covered with withered yellow leaves, and winter had officially arrived.
Jiang Fubao changed into thick clothes and chose a less busy day. She left the clinic to her apprentices and took Pan Erya and Pan Shitou back to the village to see what the newly planted herbs were like. However, when she was leaving the village in the afternoon, she was surrounded by people from Sunjia Village.
"Miss Jiang, didn't you say that there were no medicinal seeds? Why did the people in Zhoujia Village plant medicinal herbs again after the autumn harvest? Could it be that you are deceiving us? Isn't this a good thing for you? How can you go back on your promise to us? We have been waiting for a long time."
"Yes, in order to grow medicinal herbs, I didn't take care of my crops. This year's autumn harvest has reduced the yield a lot. You have to be responsible for us. Otherwise, how can my family of thirteen survive until next autumn harvest? Everyone in the family is waiting for food and drink. You must give us the medicinal seeds, and then take these medicinal herbs away at the same price."
"That's right. We were clearly told that the next time we planted the seeds, we would be the ones to plant them. But we kept waiting. I think you and Sun Mugen's family are deceiving us. We did all the work on his farm for him."
"Miss Jiang, please be kind. If you don't give us medicinal seeds, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive. There's less rain this year, and the harvest is not as good as in the past two years. There's nothing left after paying the grain tax. Even if we sell all the rice and exchange it for brown rice, we won't be able to survive until next autumn without saving a penny."
"I have to eat this brown rice mixed with wild vegetables. It's all your fault. If I hadn't wanted to grow your medicine, I would have taken good care of the crops a long time ago."
"You little girl, you never tell the truth. If you want to give me the medicine, just tell me directly, and save us from playing tricks on you."
"I beg you, old woman, I'm kneeling down before you, please give us some medicine seeds, I know you must have them there."
"......"
These people were quarreling and making a lot of noise. Some of them even knelt on the ground pretending to be pitiful, but in fact, the gleam in their eyes was about to overflow.
Even a fool would know that she did it on purpose.
Jiang Fubao calmly lifted the carriage curtain and said softly, "When did I promise you that I would give you the medicinal seeds next time I planted them? From the beginning to the end, I said that if there were some extra medicinal seeds, I would give them to you. You are looking for trouble with me? Don't you think it's funny? Who are you looking for who promised you? Anyway, I never said that."
Jiang Fubao sneered.
He looked at his second aunt's family.
The villagers of Sunjia Village understood immediately.
It seems they were deceived!
I saw a fierce-looking man grabbing Sun Mugen by the collar and cursing him viciously.
"You old thief, you lied to us. You said the Jiang family promised you that we would be allowed to plant crops in the next spring. We were forced to work for you, helping you plant crops and harvest crops in autumn. But it turned out to be all lies? I think you want to die!"
Sun Mugen has always been a domineering person. When he was restrained, he did not dare to resist at all. He immediately looked at Jiang Fubao with a look for help.
"Fubao, we are a family. Tell me quickly. Give them the medicine right away. If something happens to me, how will you face your second aunt?"
Sun Mugen moved out his daughter whom he had not seen for many years.
But Jiang Fubao just got deaf ears.
"Boss, please let me go. You were the one who begged us to help you and come to the Jiang family to ask for help. Why are you turning your back on us now? The Jiang family didn't give you the medicine seeds, so why did you go to the Jiang family? What does it have to do with us? We have all lowered our dignity to help you. Isn't that enough?"
When He Xinghua saw her husband being grabbed by the collar, she slapped her thigh and screamed.
Unfortunately, the people in Sunjia Village ignored her.
They all looked at Jiang Fubao, waiting for her to speak.
I thought Jiang Fubao would give out the medicine seeds in order to save Sun Mugen's family.
"I thought so too. There are not enough medicine seeds. I have no choice. I didn't want to agree to your request in the first place. They left before I could finish my words. Who knows where you heard the news? Tsk tsk, when I saw you guys making a fuss, I thought that if I have more medicine seeds in the future, I will give you some.
But it's not enough. I can't do anything about it. So, let's wait until later. When there are medicinal seeds, I will distribute them to your village. Okay, get out of the way quickly. My stepmother is waiting for me to have dinner together. Don't waste my time."
After these words were spoken, no one stopped them.
Although the people of Sunjia Village were unhappy, no one dared to say anything.
Who made Jiang Fubao the godson of the prefect and the godsister of the county magistrate? Everyone knew it.
Isn’t the godmother she is referring to the prefect’s wife?
When they saw such high-ranking officials, they could only kneel on the side of the road, not daring to raise their heads.
Especially Jiang Fubao's eldest brother, who is a scholar now. Maybe he will be lucky enough to become a judge or a Jinshi in the future.
The Jiang family also produced a high-ranking official.
If I offend them, is there any way to survive?
Although everyone in Sunjia Village had gloomy faces, they all stood on both sides of the road to make way for Jiang Fubao's carriage.
Jiang Fubao lowered the curtain and told Pan Shitou to leave quickly.
"Miss, these people don't look like good people. They make you feel like you owe them something. You must not give them the medicine seeds. I'm afraid they won't grow them well. Then the rare medicine seeds you got with great difficulty will be wasted. Isn't that a waste?"
Pan Erya is such a carefree person, but she can tell that everyone in Sunjia Village is a bad person. How could Jiang Fubao not see it?
She did it on purpose.
One reason was to avenge her second aunt's childhood grudge, and the other was that she was preparing for something. She was going to expand the medicinal fields in the future, and was going to turn the entire Lianshan Town into a "Ten Thousand Medicine City". The wasteland vacated in these villages would be planted with her medicinal herbs in the future.
This was only a matter of time. She had whetted the appetite of the villagers in Sunjia Village in advance. When they felt hopeless, she would take out the medicinal seeds. She didn't believe that they would dare to be perfunctory and not plant them properly.
It's also a disguised way of giving them a chance.
Your heart is not completely dark yet. Just grow the medicinal herbs well, and then their lives will be better.
The evil-minded one only thought about cheating and didn't take care to grow the herbs. After just one time, she realized the truth.
From now on, she will not give them any more chances. How these villagers live in the future is none of her business. It is all their own fault.
