Chapter 789: Dealing with the Cheaters
"Stop, stop now, you guys are going to kill the herbs. Oh my God, we have wasted so much time, what are you going to do?"
"Doctor Jiang, what are you doing? Are you trying to drive us to death? It's almost the end of the year, and you don't want us to have a good New Year? Why are you going crazy for no reason? We didn't provoke you."
"......"
The villagers of Sunjia Village were chattering and making a lot of noise, and some even stepped forward to stop them.
But all the people from Jiangjia Village had come, and these twenty or so people could not hold back at all.
Someone went back to spread the news and knocked on every door.
The villagers of Sunjia Village finally gathered together, with two groups facing each other, and Jiang Fubao and the head of Sunjia Village standing in the middle.
The head of Sunjia Village bent over and said to Jiang Fubao with a flattering smile, "Miss Jiang, what are you doing? Didn't you promise us before? You wanted to let us grow the herbs, so why are you digging up our herbs for no reason? Could it be that you harvested them early?"
Having tasted the sweetness, there is no way he would let Jiang Fubao dig up the herbs. The villagers, including his family, are going to make a fortune from this wave of herbs.
The New Year will be over soon, and after the crops are planted in the spring, the medicinal herbs can be harvested. He will not let this money, oh no, medicinal herbs, fly away in vain.
"Oh, what are you daydreaming about? Harvesting early? You guys are dreaming! Before planting this batch of medicinal seeds, did I warn you that they cannot be frozen? You must cover them with straw when it snows, otherwise they will be frozen to death. How did you promise me?
Since you don't want to grow them properly, then just don't grow them. It's a pity to waste these medicinal seeds. You should be content that I didn't make you lose money. Get out of the way quickly. Maybe I'm being nice to you, so you're getting ahead of yourself. Haven't you learned enough from my previous lesson?"
Jiang Fubao rarely got angry.
This batch of medicine seeds was hard to come by, and she would be heartbroken if one died.
Being frozen like this, it would be lucky if most of them died.
Maybe they were all killed and the entire army was wiped out.
Just thinking about her makes me angry.
If you don't listen to her, then don't plant anything.
Anyway, there are still nine villages, so it doesn’t matter if Sunjia Village is missing.
It won't cause any trouble.
Village Chief Sun was so frightened when he heard this that he quickly explained, "We didn't expect it to snow so heavily. Besides, it's so cold. If we go out to lay straw in the snow, we will definitely catch a cold. We won't make any money and we will get sick. It will be such a loss. Let's forget it this time. We didn't think it through."
"What? You mean you didn't prepare the straw in advance?"
Jiang Fubao was stunned.
Didn't these people prepare straw in advance after she had given them a heads up? Did they really not value this medicinal material?
Haha, she wanted to laugh.
I begged her to give me the seeds at first, and now that she has given me the seeds, I started to slack off after less than two years.
She had thought about how bad and vicious the people in Sunjia Village were, but she had never expected them to be so sneaky and cunning.
“Uh, um…” Village Chief Sun was suddenly speechless, he stammered and couldn’t speak.
"Alright, everyone, hurry up and dig. From today on, no more medicinal herbs are allowed to be planted in Sunjia Village. Even if you find a way to get the medicinal seeds and plant them yourself, I won't buy them! In addition, I bought this wasteland. If you dare to use it privately, I will dig up whatever you plant!"
Jiang Fubao didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Having said that, she returned to the crowd and supervised the villagers of Jiangjia Village in digging medicinal herbs.
Everyone in Sunjia Village was in a panic and complaining bitterly. Many old women sat on the ground crying, not even minding the cold snow on their buttocks. They regretted how tough they had been just now.
"Old man, I beg you, Godly doctor, please be merciful and stop digging. It's all my fault. I didn't prepare the straw. It's my fault. Please don't dig. My grandson is waiting for the silver from selling these herbs. If the herbs are gone, the silver will be gone. He will have no money to marry a wife, and my grandson's family will be extinct. Please, please don't dig. I beg you."
An old man with gray hair knelt down. He was as thin as a stick of firewood and looked extremely pitiful as he knelt in the snow and cried.
He kowtowed repeatedly to Jiang Fubao.
Jiang Fubao, however, could not muster any sympathy at all.
It's not like she hadn't killed a chicken to scare the monkey before. She had given these people a chance, but they were useless.
If she forgives them this time, there will be a third and fourth time in the future. She can bear it, but the medicine can't.
All of this was bought with real money.
Fortunately, these medicinal species are not scarce. Otherwise, if one is destroyed, there will be one less in the world, which is really despicable.
To be honest, the price she paid for medicinal materials was the highest not only in Qixi County, but also in the entire Tianling Kingdom.
What's more, she was the one who bought this piece of wasteland. These people didn't pay a penny. They cultivated her land and planted her medicinal seeds. In the end, she bought the grown medicinal herbs at a high price.
It's not an exaggeration to say that we are helping each other.
Good intentions are not rewarded.
Medicinal herbs can be grown anywhere. If she hadn't wanted to help the village of Lianshan Town become prosperous, she could have bought a large piece of land somewhere else and grown medicinal herbs exclusively.
It would cost much more to hire talented people than it does now.
Jiang Fubao believes that she has never been a kind-hearted person who works for the people without asking for anything in return.
She can help people, but she won't help those with evil hearts.
She is not a big villain.
She just stepped aside and refused to accept the old man's gift. In the end, the villagers of Jiangjia Village took away all the herbs.
Just as she expected, 80% of the medicinal herbs were dead.
She was heartbroken.
With full of anger, he led the villagers of Jiangjia Village back to the village.
She would visit the remaining villages later, but now she had to plant the removed herbs first.
Jiang Fubao distributed the herbs equally to the villagers and buried them in the soil before leaving.
There were also lazy families in other villages, but not as many as in Sunjia Village, so Jiang Fubao only asked Pan Shitou and Pan Erya to dig up all the medicinal herbs in the fields of the lazy families, and also declared that these families were not allowed to grow medicinal herbs anymore.
As a result, we were delayed for too long, and when we returned to the city, it was already pitch dark.
She thought everyone in the family had finished their meal and gone home, but as soon as she stepped into the yard, the aroma of rice filled her nose.
Jiang Fubao hurried to the main room.
All the family members were sitting here waiting for her. Some of the food on the table was steaming, while some was already cold.
Seeing her come back, Zhang Jinlan asked the maid to quickly heat up the cold dishes.
Then the family started to eat dinner.
"Grandma, don't wait for me next time. It's so late now. I'm afraid the food must have been heated up several times. You guys eat first. It's okay. I'll just have a bowl of noodles when I come back."
Seeing the food had changed slightly in color, Jiang Fubao knew that her family had been waiting for her for a long time.
I'm already tired after a whole day, and I still have to go home hungry. It makes me sad just thinking about it.
