Chapter 788 All dug up
"Go ahead, Miss, wherever you go, I will follow you. Burp..." Xuehuan ate too much seafood and kept burping.
"Look, what did I tell you to eat less, but you didn't listen. I bought you some candied haws, but now you've finished eating them and are still burping? Look, what's outside." Jiang Fubao shook her head helplessly. She put down the booklet and pointed outside.
"Ah? What's outside? Hiccup! I didn't see anything..."
"Ah——" Jiang Fubao suddenly yelled before Xue Huan could finish her words.
Xuehuan was so frightened that she almost fell into the foot bath.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Xue Huan was like a frightened roe deer. She opened her eyes wide, at a loss, and looked at Jiang Fubao blankly.
"It's nothing, just to scare you, for fun." Seeing that she had forgotten about burping, Jiang Fubao returned to his seat and continued reading the book.
"Oh, I thought there was something outside. Why did you scare me, miss? You bad boy, huh." Xue Huan didn't know that her hiccups had been cured by Jiang Fubao.
She pouted and muttered softly.
Jiang Fubao pretended not to hear.
After reading it and making plans for what to do next, she went to bed.
She thought she could fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, but Xue Huan was snoring and she was still awake.
Because as soon as I close my eyes, Meng Bujiu's figure appears in my mind.
She had never been in love in two lifetimes and had no idea that this was what it felt like to like someone.
In her previous life, Jiang Fubao was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. She had no family and was accompanied by other orphans.
She had few friends since she was a child, and even after she graduated from college and started working, she was still lonely.
Jiang Fubao is so happy to feel the warmth of the Jiang family in his life.
In the novels I read in the past, the heroines traveled back to ancient times and tried their best to come back, but Jiang Fubao was most afraid of suddenly traveling back again.
Fortunately, it was her soul that traveled through time, not her body, and her body was gone, probably having turned into bones long ago.
Thinking of her family, Jiang Fubao felt sleepy and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
“Chichichi—”
“Ohhhh—”
The chickens raised in the Jiang family's backyard began to cluck. Because the chickens were fed good food, their clucking was louder than that of other families' chickens. Even though the second courtyard was not close to the backyard, Jiang Fubao could hear it.
She stretched and sat up in bed.
Xue Huan happened to be sitting by the charcoal stove waiting for the water to boil.
There was a washbasin at her feet with a towel in it, which was used for Jiang Fubao to wash his face.
"Miss, you're awake. I'll pour you some water." Although the water was only warm, it was usable and there was no need to add cool water.
Xue Huan poured the water and helped Jiang Fubao to put on his clothes. Then after she finished brushing his teeth and washing up, she combed Jiang Fubao's hair. The master and servant arrived at the courtyard two quarters of an hour later.
After having breakfast with her family, Jiang Fubao did not rush back to Jiangjia Village, but went to the clinic first. She waited until it was less busy at noon before finishing her lunch and leaving.
Xue Huan and Pan Erya were beside her, and Pan Shitou was still driving.
The pattern of one master and three servants seemed to be fixed; the four of them were always there wherever they went.
"Miss, shall we go to Jiangjia Village first?" After leaving the city gate, Pan Shitou asked through the curtain.
"We will go back to Jiangjia Village first, then inspect each village one by one, and finally inspect Zhangjia Village. This way, we won't have to walk any extra distance and can go back to the city right away, which will save us a lot of time."
Jiang Fubao responded.
"Okay, I'll set off now." The carriage started moving quickly and Jiang Fubao's butt was shaken a little. She was used to it.
Not long after arriving home, she had traveled such a long way, she didn't know how many days she had been sitting in the carriage, but she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and unexpectedly felt at ease.
The snow on the road was a little frozen, and the carriage was slipping. For fear of overturning, Pan Shitou slowed down, so when he arrived at Jiangjia Village, it was already late noon.
When the villagers of Jiangjia Village saw Jiang Fubao coming back, they all came out to greet him. They had been growing medicinal herbs for many years and had tasted the sweetness, so they treated the herbs with all their heart and effort.
Jiang Fubao simply took a look around and left. He did the same when he arrived at Zhoujia Village, until the carriage stopped at Sunjia Village.
When Jiang Fubao arrived at the medicinal fields in Sunjia Village, her face turned completely cold.
Before leaving, she specifically instructed that the medicinal herbs planted this year were not frost-tolerant, and if it snowed they must be covered with straw to protect them from freezing to death.
Jiangjia Village and Zhoujia Village are all treated in this way.
Only Sunjia Village.
At least nine-tenths of a large medicinal field was covered by snow. With the temperature dropping today, the snow hasn't melted yet and has frozen.
The medicinal herbs buried underneath must have been frozen to death or crushed to death.
Jiang Fubao was extremely angry.
Even though she had suppressed Sunjia Village for so long and even made an example of them, these people still did not treat the precious medicinal seeds properly.
In that case, then don't plant it.
I gave them the opportunity to make a fortune, but I was useless. I hope they won't regret it in the future.
Jiang Fubao stared at the medicinal field in front of him with fierce eyes, and there was a trace of heartache on his face.
"Shitou, go back home immediately and bring all the servants here. No, there's no time. Go directly to Jiangjia Village and tell them that it was my request. Have all the villagers come and dig up all the medicinal seeds in Sunjia Village! If you don't want to plant them properly, then don't plant them at all!"
Save as many as you can.
The medicine seeds are so expensive and hard to come by, but instead of cherishing them, they treat them like this.
Jiang Fubao couldn't even wait for Pan Shitou to go back to the city to call for help. Anyway, the villagers of Jiangjia Village gave her this face, so it didn't hurt to use it.
Soon, a large group of people came towards Sunjia Village.
There are men and women, young and old, and they all rely on Jiang Fubao to live a good life today. When Jiang Fubao calls out, they can't wait to come over and help.
Each one of them held a hoe and a nail rake, and some even held a kitchen knife and a sickle.
Those who don’t know would think that Sunjia Village was going to be raided.
The villagers who were taking a nap at home were awakened by the noise outside, and everyone put on their clothes and came out to check.
Seeing so many people coming to the village, all from Jiangjia Village, they were so scared that they quickly put on their clothes and followed them.
When we arrived at the medicinal field, we saw Jiang Fubao standing on a high slope, saying loudly: "Please dig out all the herbs in this field! Dig up the dead ones and throw them away, and dig up the living ones and take them away! Leave nothing behind! Thank you for your hard work!"
At the command, the villagers of Jiangjia Village all picked up their hoes and started digging for medicinal herbs.
This action frightened the villagers of Sunjia Village.
These medicinal herbs were planted with great effort. If they are dug up, how can they be exchanged for silver?
Isn't all this hard work in vain?
"Hey, what are you doing? Stop it! We have been growing medicinal herbs for so long, and you are actually going to dig them up. What are you doing?"
