The other women present focused their attention on the medicinal herbs!
It needs to be processed; what kind of medicinal material is this?
The Ding family of three all came to help, so they must be the ones who make money.
It's not good to ask about ways to make money. If you ask someone and they don't answer, wouldn't that be awkward? It would also make you seem tactless.
Unexpectedly, Shuiqing took the initiative to say: "The reason why the Bai family didn't plant the potatoes on my land is because we and the Ding family were collecting seeds of this medicinal herb together, preparing to try planting it ourselves."
"If we fail, it'll only be my family's loss. But if we succeed, you can come back next year for seeds to plant. We'll buy the harvested herbs at the pharmacy's price. Herbs are more valuable than grain, and our village might become increasingly wealthy by selling them!"
The women were overjoyed when Shuiqing finished speaking.
Unexpectedly, Shuiqing's family first planted potatoes to solve their food problem, and then turned around to help them try planting medicinal herbs!
If we lose money, won't we have no food to eat on all those acres of land?
Aunt Li was one of the few capable women in the village, and she immediately made a decision: "Shuiqing, if we fail, I'll bring you potatoes! You won't go hungry."
Aunt Zhang said the same thing: "Don't worry, you know my family has a lot of potatoes this year. I'll bring you potatoes whether you succeed or fail!"
If you fail, the potatoes are just to fill your stomach; if you succeed, you can trade them for medicinal seeds. In any case, you won't lose too much.
For the second time in her life, she felt that being a widow was good; otherwise, if the head of the household were still alive, how could she have made such a bold decision!
Having money, leisure time, and a voice—this is a comfortable life I never dared to dream of before.
She looked at Shui Qing, realizing that all the good life she had now was thanks to Shui Qing, and she was determined to cling to Shui Qing's coattails and follow her closely!
The other women, unable to manage the household, silently noted it down, planning to go home and ask their families later, while casting envious glances at Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang.
People who can make decisive decisions are so cool and capable; they look better the more you look at them!
The group of people didn't even ask what the medicinal herbs were called or what price the pharmacy would pay for them; they all happily agreed.
Their thinking was simple: since Shuiqing said it was more profitable than growing grain, then it must be profitable.
Upon hearing Shuiqing's words, Ding Jiajia spoke softly to a group of her friends of similar age: "When we have more medicinal herbs, my parents and I will be too busy to handle them all. Sister Shuiqing said we'll need your help."
Sister Shuiqing has already decided that everyone who comes to help will be paid, but that's not possible yet. We have to wait until the medicinal herbs are ripe and ready for harvest. Please wait a little longer.
Hearing that Shui Qing would be hiring people and paying them wages, Zhang Xiaocao, Li Tiantian, and the others were both surprised and delighted.
He quickly replied, "We're not in a hurry."
"Waiting is normal, we understand."
"That's wonderful! I hope Sister Shuiqing can successfully cultivate the medicinal herbs!"
The more medicinal herbs planted, the more they can harvest; the more they need to process, the more they can earn wages by helping out!
"I've never earned any money in my life, and I really want to. It must feel so good," Zhang Xiaocao said expectantly.
Xu Ting, Fan Xiang, and the others nodded vigorously in agreement.
They also really want to be able to earn their own money!
Li Tiantian was pampered at home, and her mother, being the head of the household, would give her money regularly. She had already saved twenty-three coins.
Only when she thought about how her two older brothers could earn more than 800 coins on a trip did she realize how little her 23 coins were.
