Zhao Jingzhong's death had no impact on Fangjia Village.
September arrived in the blink of an eye, and the temperature plummeted.
Fang Daniu bought the bricks and chose an auspicious day for the construction of their new house to begin.
The potatoes that everyone planted during the land clearing process are ready for harvest.
They fantasized that their potatoes would yield thousands of kilograms per mu, just like Fang Qing's family, but when harvest day actually arrived, they realized that it wasn't like that at all.
The potato yield is still the same as before, and in fact, the harvest is not good before because the soil in front of the mountain is not good.
His dream of getting rich from potatoes was shattered in an instant.
Why can Fang Qing's family produce several thousand catties per mu on the same land?
But the potatoes were collected by people from the Zhou family's side, and they all saw them with their own eyes; there's no way to fake it.
Everyone felt deceived, their initial jealousy turning into anger.
Fang Xiaoshuan was one of them.
Because they saw how good Fang Qing's potatoes were, they worked tirelessly, even skipping meals, to cultivate two acres of land. Now they've harvested a bunch of potatoes that aren't very good quality.
The more Fang Xiaoshuan thought about it, the angrier he became, so he incited several villagers to go to Fang Qing's house.
That day, the foundation of Fang Qing's new house had just been laid. Zhao was cooking for everyone at home when she heard someone break into the house.
"Fang Daniu, bring your bean sprouts out here and give us all justice!"
When Zhao came out and saw everyone carrying weapons, she panicked instantly.
What's wrong with everyone?
"Where's your bean sprout? Tell her to come out. Do you think we're stupid if we don't get angry?"
"What's wrong with Brother Xiaoshuan?"
"What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask? The potatoes planted in front of the mountain have all been harvested now, unlike the bean sprouts you had before."
"That's right, your bean sprouts are a scam! You tricked us into clearing land to plant potatoes. We put in so much effort and hard work, and now all we've got is a pile of unsellable junk!"
"Get the bean sprouts out here and give us an explanation, or we're not done here today."
Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an entered the house at this time.
She could hear their voices from outside.
She knew this day would come.
After what happened before, Zhao Shi'an instinctively stood in front of her, but Fang Qing held him back.
“I can handle these people. Go and call the village chief for me.”
Zhao Shi'an glanced at the people in the courtyard, then at Fang Qing's resolute expression, and threw down the bamboo basket, running out of the alley.
For the first time since my rebirth, I had the urge to become stronger immediately, otherwise I wouldn't be able to protect the people I wanted to protect.
Fang Qing was spotted as soon as she entered the house.
"The bean sprouts are here!"
A roar drew everyone's attention to her.
Fang Xiaoshuan stepped forward angrily, and these people surrounded Fang Qing just like him.
"Don't say that, please don't do that."
Zhao squeezed in and shielded Fang Qing behind her.
Fang Xiaoshuan and others completely ignored Zhao.
"Bean Sprout, give us all an explanation."
Fang Qing looked at Fang Xiaoshuan, who was leading the group, and asked, "What explanation do you want?"
"Stop pretending! Tell me, why were you able to harvest so many potatoes before?"
Fang Qing smiled.
"Just for this? What does my harvest of so many potatoes have to do with you?"
Her words and attitude made Fang Xiaoshuan even angrier.
"How can it not be your problem? If your harvest wasn't so high, would we have followed you to reclaim the wasteland? We contributed our manpower and labor, and reclaimed all the wasteland in front of the mountain. Now you give us this kind of harvest. Don't you feel sorry for us?"
"Exactly! You led the way in planting potatoes, so why is our harvest less than yours?"
"Yes, you must give us an explanation today."
Fang Qing was speechless at their self-righteous attitude.
"So, you think it's all my fault that your potato harvest is bad?"
"Of course."
Fang Qing couldn't help but laugh again.
“I never encouraged you to clear land, let alone plant potatoes. You saw that I made a fortune growing potatoes and wanted to take advantage of it. Now that you have a bad harvest, you’re taking your anger out on me. Isn’t this like blaming your neighbor’s outhouse when you can’t take your own?"
The expressions of the people present became unnatural after she said that.
But they simply couldn't swallow this insult.
"Don't try to deny it. Today you either hand over your potato seeds or you pay us money."
"Pay us back!"
Fang Qing looked coldly at the group of people.
The Zhou family used the potatoes they had harvested before as seeds, and Fang Qing originally planned to go to the county town to ask the Zhou family to leave some for their village.
But now, looking at these people, they're not worth her doing all this.
Greedy and selfish.
What if I don't pay?
"You dare! If you pay compensation, we'll... we'll empty your house!"
Before Fang Qing could speak, a loud voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
"Let's see who dares!"
When everyone turned around, they saw a strange face that did not belong to their village.
"Zhang Daikui!"
Someone recognized the person.
Zhang Daikui had been there for a while, and he had heard what was said.
"You guys are really shameless. If you can't grow anything yourself, you should humbly ask for help. Instead, you resort to banditry and thuggery. What, do you think that because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, there is no law in this place?"
Zhang Daikui already had a fierce appearance, and when he got angry, everyone was afraid.
Fang Xiaoshuan subconsciously stepped back.
“Brother Zhang, this is a matter for our Fangjia Village, and it has nothing to do with your Zhangjia Village.”
