Chapter 790: Don’t Be Soft-Hearted
"It's okay to wait a little longer. Why did you come back so late today? I heard from Ruyi that you went back to the village at noon, my dear granddaughter. But what happened? Did the villagers cause trouble?"
Jiang Shoujia raised his head and looked at his granddaughter and asked.
"Yes, it is indeed a big deal. I wanted to go to each village today to check on the growth of medicinal herbs. It just so happened that it snowed, and some herbs couldn't stand the cold. I was really worried that the herbs would be frozen to death, so I planned to check each village one by one.
Our village and Zhoujia Village were okay. We had tasted the sweetness and dared not be careless. Everyone took good care of the herbs and not a single one was frozen to death. But when I arrived at Sunjia Village, I was really angry. These people were really abominable. They didn't even prepare straw in advance and let the herbs freeze in the snow. Grandpa, you don't know that most of the herbs were frozen to death."
Jiang Fubao's anger had calmed down, but when this was mentioned, he became furious again.
You have to know that these medicinal seeds were obtained by her second brother with great effort. Not only did he spend a lot of money, but the planting period was also long. Now they were frozen to death in vain. She felt more distressed than anyone else.
Hearing Jiang Fubao's words, Jiang Tongxiang stood up and said excitedly: "But are these the medicines I bought from Canghai before?"
"Yes, it's that batch, otherwise I wouldn't be so angry. I no longer have this kind of medicine in stock, and the output will be much less when we harvest it next spring. It's really infuriating." Jiang Fubao nodded.
"Damn it, you are a bunch of shallow-minded people. Do you know how difficult it is to buy these medicines? You want to make money but are afraid of hardship. So forget it. Fubao, don't let the people in Sunjia Village grow our medicines. Let them be poor and don't help them. Some people can't be helped."
Jiang Tongxiang gritted his teeth and said viciously, he was in charge of purchasing, so he naturally knew that these villagers were getting a great bargain.
He knows the purchase price of medicinal materials outside.
My sister asked the villagers of Lianshan Town to plant crops not just for the sake of making money. Most of them wanted to help, but what about them?
This was only the second time he sowed the seeds, and already most of the precious herbs died. There was no way he would try a third time. He told him that lazy people should not plant any seeds in the future, otherwise they would die in poverty and watch others get rich.
Since you don't cherish it, don't even think about touching it in the future.
"Fubao, how did you handle it? Did you not hurt yourself? They made a big fuss." Jiang Shoujia's face darkened. He knew that his granddaughter must have dealt with the matter since she came back so late, so he asked again.
There was still worry in his eyes.
He scanned her from head to toe and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no external injuries.
"I asked Shitou to call all the villagers from Jiangjia Village, and they gave me this face. When we arrived at Sunjia Village, I asked them to dig up all the medicinal fields in Sunjia Village, leaving no medicinal herbs. Not only this medicinal herb, but all other herbs were dug up and pulled out.
It's such a pity, most of them were frozen to death, I lost a lot, oh, I really didn't expect that after I killed a chicken to scare the monkey, these people would dare to do it again. If I had known earlier, I should have missed Sunjia Village out of the ten villages. Brother Qi is right, these people can't be helped."
Jiang Fubao wanted to curse a few more times, but when she remembered that her second aunt was from Sunjia Village, she could only shut her mouth.
But Sun Pingmei cursed out what was in her heart.
"Fubao, you are right. These people deserve to be poor for the rest of their lives. I was born there when I was little. How could I not know what kind of people they are? A bunch of ruthless people who would fight for a tiny profit. They are all black-hearted, beasts! To put it bluntly, in our village, except for a few families who are decent people, the rest are worthless. Including my mother's family. Don't give me face. Just do what you want. It's thanks to you for not letting my mother's family plant the medicine seeds before. Otherwise, the medicine seeds would have been wasted. They deserve to be poor for the rest of their lives. It's better if they can't afford to eat and starve to death. There's no need for these people to survive in this world. They waste food while they are alive."
Sun Pingmei, who was already well-versed in poetry, had a lot of words to curse at people, but her speech was not as vulgar as before.
There were some things she didn't say.
When the mother-in-law first married her younger sister-in-law to their village, she was actually against it.
In fact, her grandson's family was not a good bunch, but they pretended to be good. Plus, she had just been married for a short time and didn't consider her husband's family as her own at that time. So she was afraid that if she told her about it, it would upset her husband's family and make them think that she was deliberately interfering.
So I didn't stop him any further and just hinted at some of the ways of dealing with people in Sunfu's family.
Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't care, she shut up and stopped talking.
Sure enough, just after she got married, my sister-in-law's in-laws revealed their true colors.
Finally it became what it is today.
Therefore, Sun Pingmei felt from the bottom of her heart that the villagers of Sunjia Village were not good people.
"Okay, stop chatting and sit down and eat first. How does this steamed pork with rice flour taste? Come, try it. It's made by grandma herself. Is it delicious? By the way, what about other villages?" Zhang Jinlan pulled her granddaughter to sit next to her, picked up a piece of steamed pork with rice flour for her, and asked after Jiang Fubao put it in his mouth.
"Grandma's cooking skills are the best. The food is delicious. I love it so much. As for other villages, there are also some cheaters. I dealt with them the same way as the former. For those who don't take good care of the herbs, all the seeds in the herb fields are dug out and they are not allowed to plant them anymore. Many families knelt down in front of me with their families and cried miserably. Haha, they thought I would be soft-hearted, but what have they done? I ignored them."
Jiang Fubao picked up another piece of steamed pork with rice flour and spoke while eating.
The Jiang family does not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. They always talk while eating.
"Fubao is right. If you want to achieve great things, you must not be soft-hearted. Only ruthless people can go far. If you forgive them again and again, not only will they not be grateful to you, but they will think that you are easy to fool and can control you. In the future, they will be lazy again and again because they know that you will not do anything to them, or they will just cry and kneel down and let the matter go.
Although these damaged medicinal varieties are hard to buy and expensive, they can still be bought. If you want to grow some rare medicinal varieties in the future, if they do it again, it will be a huge disaster. Instead of doing this, they should be ruthless to the end. I believe that after these two times, as long as they are not sick in the head, they will not be so perfunctory in the medicinal fields again. "
Jiang Shoujia also ate a piece of steamed pork with rice flour, chewing while talking and nodding his head.
I don’t know whether I agree with Jiang Fubao or I think the steamed pork with rice flour is delicious.
We finished our dinner by eating and chatting.
As it got darker, the Jiang family did not stay in the main room for long. They sat for a while and then went back to their rooms.
After a busy day today and going to the medicinal field again, Jiang Fubao told Xue Huan while eating that she wanted to take a bath.
