"Dad's fine, you keep an eye on things for me, I'll entertain Uncle Zhang."
Fang Qing invited Zhang Daikui into the house and served him tea and water.
“Bean Sprout, I really don’t support you about what happened today. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me and I’ll stand up for you. They won’t dare say anything.”
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Zhang, but renting this land is not difficult for me at all; on the contrary, it will be of great benefit to me."
Zhang Daikui was curious, but Fang Qing didn't intend to answer and instead changed the subject.
"Did Grandpa Zhang just say he wanted to buy potato seeds?"
“Yes, I have some connections with a local landlord in our village. He rented me his land cheaply. I heard about your potato planting, so I thought I'd plant some this year too.”
"I don't have many potato seeds left here, but if Grandpa Zhang wants to buy some, I can help him find some."
"who?"
"You should know that all my potatoes were taken by my aunt's family. I overheard the shopkeeper mentioning that he was keeping potato seeds. If you go to buy them, you should be able to."
"Oh, Bean Sprout, you're truly my lucky star! I'll go to the county town now and visit you another day to express my gratitude."
He seemed genuinely anxious; he left as soon as he finished speaking.
Zhao Shi'an was standing at the door when Fang Qing came out and met his slightly serious gaze.
Are you angry?
Zhao Shi'an pursed his lips, suppressing his anger, and said, "We don't have to rent the land from those families."
Fang Qing smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"Don't be angry. They are selfish and greedy, but we won't turn down money."
Fang Qing was afraid that his value would be unstable because of this villain, so she stepped forward and took his hand.
"Brother, don't be unhappy."
Zhao Shi'an's face darkened instantly, and he awkwardly shook off her hand.
"What are you yelling about?"
Fang Qing grabbed his hand again.
"What's wrong? We're family now. You're older than me, so of course you're my older brother."
This time, Zhao Shi'an didn't shake off her hand, but his expression was still somewhat unnatural.
There was a 120-mu plot of land in front of the mountain, and everyone except Fang Sanhua's family came over to sign and leave their fingerprints.
Two copies were made; one was given to the village chief, and the other was given to Fang Qing.
After everyone left, Fang Daniu looked troubled.
"Bean Sprout, we only have 800 catties of wheat left, not even enough seeds."
"It's alright, Dad. You and Mom can continue with the house building. Leave the farming to me."
What can you do?
Even with Fang Daniu's good temper, he was getting anxious at this moment.
That's no small amount; it's 120 acres!
This is why Fang Sanhua didn't put her fingerprint on the document.
The villagers all wanted to get rid of this hot potato and take advantage of the bean sprouts, but he couldn't do that.
"Now that they've all signed and put their fingerprints on it, there's no way to take it back. Bean Sprout, tell your grandpa the truth, what are you planning to plant?"
"Plant wheat."
Can you guarantee the harvest?
"able."
Fang Sanhua's family all regarded Fang Qing as their little lucky star. Now, seeing her so calm, he inexplicably felt a surge of confidence in Fang Qing as well.
"Alright, then I'll trust you. You're still building a house, so you probably don't have any spare money. Just ask me for it first."
Fang Daniu was stunned and looked at Fang Sanhua nervously.
"Brother Sanhua..."
“It’s alright, Bean Sprout, come on, let’s go home with Grandpa and get the money.”
Fang Qing didn't need the money, but she couldn't let the secret slip, so she had no choice but to go to Fang Sanhua's house.
Fang Sanhua gave her three taels of silver and half a string of cash.
It's not easy for a family to come up with so much money all at once. Fang Qing thought that this was probably all the money Fang Sanhua's family had.
Fang Qing thanked Fang Sanhua for her trust.
She will definitely pay back the money as quickly as possible.
"Thank you, sir! I'll definitely pay you back when I have the money!"
She took the silver home.
The next day, Fang Daniu drove a horse-drawn carriage to take her and Zhao Shian to the county town to buy wheat seeds.
Fang Qing naturally didn't need to buy any.
When she was almost in the county town, she exchanged for sleeping pills to make Fang Daniu and Zhao Shian unconscious, and then exchanged for three thousand catties of wheat seeds, which used up all her points.
The carriage was heading towards the village. When Fang Daniu and Zhao Shi'an came to their senses, the carriage was already full of seeds.
Both of them were in a daze, but they vaguely remembered buying seeds, so they didn't suspect anything.
Fang Qing hired people to sow the seeds. More than a dozen people went to the fields and planted the wheat in one day.
Fang Sanhua's one mu of land was also included; he gave it to Fang Qing to cultivate for free, without asking for rent.
The 120 mu (approximately 8 hectares) have been laid out in one continuous stretch, and Fang Qing is waiting to start a seed-selling business after the harvest.
But others don't know her plans. Now everyone in the village says Fang Qing is crazy, treating that land in front of the mountain as a treasure. When they meet her, they all make sarcastic remarks about her.
Only Zhang Shi, having suffered so many losses at Fang Qing's hands, always felt that Fang Qing wasn't such a fool.
She suddenly remembered Fang Qing's dealing with the fake master.
"Do you think the bean sprouts were really guided by the mountain god? Otherwise, why would they always be so lucky? This time, they even dared to plant so much wheat all at once."
Fang Lao Er was already half asleep when he heard her words and mumbled something.
"What a load of bull! She's definitely not going to have any luck this time. What does a kid know? Only Da Niu is stupid enough to let her run wild. Just wait and see, there won't be any wheat next year, but we'll be able to harvest several sacks of grass seeds."
Fang Lao Er was fast asleep.
But no matter how Zhang thought about it, she felt something was wrong.
She still felt she should consult an old sage.
