Today was a good day for the village chief, and he insisted on taking Fang Daniu out for drinks. Fang Daniu couldn't refuse, so he went along.
The courtyard returned to calm, and Fang Dashu handed the list to Fang Qing.
"Bean Sprout, you've done something really important for our village."
Fang Qing smiled but didn't say anything.
She was only trying to protect herself. She was sure that if she hadn't used the corn as seeds, her family of three wouldn't have had a good life in Fangjia Village.
If we distribute the benefits more evenly, everyone will be better off.
After seeing everyone off, Fang Qing hurriedly returned to her room and opened the system.
"Little Bean, Little Bean, can you help me check if the seeds I bought were hybrids?"
She had just made a boast when she suddenly remembered what she had learned about hybridization in biology class: the offspring of hybrid seeds will show phenotypic segregation and cannot be used as seeds for propagation.
In other words, if she still buys hybrid seeds through the system, then the corn drying in the yard can't be used as seeds.
You've finally remembered to ask this!
"Otherwise what? If I hadn't handed over the seeds just now, everyone would have eaten me. That's all I can do. At worst, I'll just spend all my points to exchange for seeds in the system and sell them to everyone."
Don't worry, the seeds in the system are different from those outside; their genes are very strong, and reproducing for three generations won't be a problem.
Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good, it saves her a lot of points.
Moreover, after people buy the seeds and plant them, the yield will decrease after two generations, so they will naturally know to buy new seeds from her, and she can also make a profit from this.
This business could be expanded.
[Also, the fact that you took out the grain seeds is a good deed, and I will apply to the system to reward you with corresponding lifespan and points.]
Fang Qing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Such a good thing?"
Of course, the more people you help by selling seeds, the more lifespan and points you will receive.
Fang Qing's eyes lit up.
Isn't this easier than earning lifespan by completing tasks?
She was worried because the system hadn't given her any tasks in a long time.
Since I helped Fang Dashu last time, I haven't had any more missions.
On the other hand, Zhao Shi'an's villain value dropped to 90, which is not easy to explain. It was earned by her cooking several meals.

The news of Fang Qing selling seeds soon reached the old woman's side.
At this moment, the old woman, Zhang, and Xiaoshuan's wife were chatting at the entrance of the alley.
"Aunties, have you heard? Your family's bean sprouts are selling their seeds. Have you all signed up?"
The old woman raised her eyebrows in smug pride.
"Do I even need to register? They are my son and granddaughter. They will definitely save them for me without me having to ask, and it won't even cost me anything."
Xiaoshuan's wife looked at Zhang.
"Second Aunt, aren't you going to register?"
Zhang was still angry.
“I’m Da Niu’s aunt. He used to always borrow our cows for work. Now that he needs grain seeds, do I need to sign up?”
Xiaoshuan's wife thought of what Zhang had said at Douya's house that morning.
"Maybe you had a falling out with Brother Da Niu this morning, so he probably won't keep your seed, right?"
After she finished speaking, Zhang glared at her.
“He wouldn’t dare! If he doesn’t leave any for me, I’ll sit at his doorstep and cry.”
Xiao Shuan's wife opened her mouth, hesitated, and said, "You two aunties are so kind, but I said those things to Brother Da Niu this morning, so I'm too embarrassed to go and register now. Why don't you come with me, aunties?"
"You're Brother Da Niu's aunt, so it'll be easier for you to talk to me. Please put in a good word for me."
Several women nearby also spoke up.
Zhang was instantly flattered, and her expression became somewhat smug.
"Since you're all begging me like this, I'll take you there."
With that, she got up and left with a group of people.
The old woman spat at her retreating figure.
"Hmph, what's there to be so smug about? Just you wait and see, Da Niu will definitely send the first one to me."
Zhang and her family arrived at Fang Qing's house.
Zhang was cooking when Fang Qing heard the noise and opened the door.
"Bean Sprout, where's your dad? Tell him to come over."
What an arrogant and domineering attitude!
Fang Qing didn't even open the door, just left it a crack open and looked at them.
"My dad went drinking with the village chief. What do you want to see him about?"
“It’s nothing serious. It’s fine since your dad’s not here. Just tell him to save some corn seeds for our families too. That’s all. I’m leaving now.”
She was like a leader giving instructions; she gave a few words and was about to leave when Fang Qing called her back.
"Oh dear, I didn't expect that you, Second Grandmother, would also want corn seeds. This morning you said such principled things, I thought you didn't want any, so I didn't write down your names."
After Fang Qing finished speaking with a smile, Zhang and the others looked disgusted.
"How can you talk like that, child? We were just in a hurry. Since you're selling seeds, we'll take them. It's not like we won't pay you. Why are you being so stingy?"
"Exactly, what's wrong with us getting angry if you don't tell us where you bought the seeds this morning?"
Fang Qing looked at them and almost burst out laughing.
How could they be so shameless?
"I'm so sorry, but my family doesn't produce any more seeds, so I really can't sell them to you."
Fang Qing's refusal embarrassed them, and Zhang Shi took the lead in becoming unhappy.
"Bean Sprout, what do you mean? I'm your second grandmother, and you're not even giving me face?"
"Look at what you're saying, Second Grandma, how could I not give you face? But my family really doesn't have any more seeds. Why don't you see which of the families whose names you wrote down are willing to sell to you? Or do you want potato seeds? I can cultivate some potato seeds here."
