This straightforward explanation finally made the villagers understand, and they were about to nod in comprehension when the village chief suddenly asked, "So, that means it's very expensive?"
The word "expensive" has once again caught everyone's attention.
Doctor Wang thought for a moment and nodded, "About one tael of silver."
this…
The villagers present were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief!
Look at the black ginseng that the Tian family dug up; there are more than a dozen of them, each weighing about half a pound.
How much would that cost?
They're going to strike it rich! The Tian family is about to get rich!
Ding Zhaodi still refused to believe it. "Dr. Wang, you must look carefully. It's not just a matter of looking alike!"
Doctor Wang frowned and glanced at her, "How could an old man like me, who has been practicing medicine for so many years, not recognize the black ginseng!"
It's more than just knowing each other.
Back then, he also had a connection with Wuling Ginseng, but...
Thinking about it, the old man's eyes welled up with tears again!
She took a deep breath and handed the black ginseng in her hand to Tian Yifan, telling him to keep it safe and sell it in town the next day or the day after!
It'll definitely fetch a good price!
Tian Yifan was still a little dazed. According to Doctor Wang, they had dug up "silver"...
Is it right?
This is just too unbelievable!
Grandma Tian, however, reacted quickly and glanced at her granddaughter beside her.
It was their granddaughter who told them to dig here.
This is all thanks to my granddaughter!
She immediately bent down, praising Tian Guoguo as she hugged her, and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead!
The villagers who saw it all wanted to…
Could this really be related to Tian Guoguo?
Only Ding Zhaodi curled her lip and said, "Pah, they really dare to put any kind of label on a child. It's just a coincidence!"
The villagers ignored her.
Let's just assume it's just jealousy.
Xie Daniu really couldn't stand it anymore. This woman had made him lose face, and he wanted to drag her back again!
Just as he reached out, another villager exclaimed in surprise…
"Water, it's water, it really exists..."
The villagers were so excited their eyes almost popped out. They pointed at the hole that Tian Yifan had dug opposite them and shouted. Other villagers also saw it.
But this is water.
With so many refugees around who have no water to drink, their loud shouting will surely attract unwanted attention!
The village chief forcibly suppressed his excitement, hurriedly tapped the shouting villager with his pipe, and reprimanded him in a calm voice.
"Shut up!"
"Didn't you see there are still quite a few refugees watching around?"
Other villagers who also wanted to shout excitedly quickly covered their mouths with their hands!
The village chief is right, we can't shout!
Grandma Tian had just asked Tian Lao Er to pack up the ginseng when she turned around and saw water bubbling up from the pit. She quickly told her grandson to dig some more.
The more you dig, the more water comes out.
When they dug to a depth of about one meter, the shovel and hoe could no longer dig any deeper, but the water at the bottom of the pit quickly rose to the surface.
It looked as if someone had deliberately poured it in.
Before long, they reached the edge of the pit.
The villagers were overjoyed and eager to fill their own water bags. The village chief tapped his pipe again.
"Who told you to fill up the water!"
The villagers were slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
The village chief looked at Old Lady Tian and said, "Sister-in-law Tian, this water was found and dug out by your family, so it is rightfully yours to share it."
This is meant to send a message to certain people and give the Tian family a chance to vent their anger.
Grandma Tian immediately understood what the village chief meant.
She first looked at Tian Guoguo in her arms. Tian Guoguo didn't say anything, but just giggled at her, and Grandma Tian understood.
She nodded to the village chief, then took a few steps forward with Tian Guoguo in her arms and said, "Since the village chief has said so..."
"Then let this old woman say a few words!"
"Although this land belongs to the public, this water was found by my daughter Guoguo. Without Guoguo's guidance, we wouldn't have been able to dig for water!"
"Even the old woman isn't stingy..."
"Let's all fill a water bag first and see if any more water comes out. This will prevent some people from not being able to get water!"
"What do you all think? Is this feasible?"
The villagers naturally agreed and nodded in agreement.
They thought that would be enough, and several villagers were about to take their water bags to fetch water when Old Lady Tian suddenly stopped them.
"I haven't finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry!"
The villagers were a little embarrassed, but dared not say anything. They could only retreat reluctantly and continue listening to what Old Lady Tian had to say.
Old Mrs. Tian said, "I'll fetch water, but this old woman has conditions!"
As she spoke, she paused slightly and looked at the villagers.
The villagers were all on tenterhooks, fearing she would ask for money next, their hearts pounding in their throats.
Then we heard Old Lady Tian continue speaking.
"First of all, we must not spread the word that our Guoguo is a lucky star, lest it arouse envy and make outsiders covet our Guoguo."
You might think…
"Guoguo is just a child of the Tian family. Even if she encounters danger, it won't affect your family in any way!"
"but…"
"How did we manage to pay for passage, how did we escape the bandit attack this morning, and what about our water source now..."
Grandma Tian didn't continue speaking.
Some things are best left unsaid.
The villagers weren't stupid. Looking back from when the bandits bought the way until now, all the problems they had encountered were solved because of Guoguo.
How could they not figure out the meaning?
Even Ding Zhaodi didn't dare to say another word!
The village chief immediately took the lead in promising that they would keep Guoguo's good fortune in their hearts and would never tell anyone.
Upon hearing this, the other villagers quickly echoed his sentiments.
That's settled, but there's still one more thing to do.
Grandma Tian said, "Let's not talk about how the villagers used to gossip about Guoguo. Let's turn the page on that!"
"But since everyone is benefiting from Guoguo's good fortune today, shouldn't we show our appreciation?"
Here it comes...
Upon hearing this, the villagers all felt that Old Lady Tian was about to start asking for money.
Several villagers even looked grim, but they dared not say anything because Qian Bao and his brothers were there.
I was thinking of holding back for now...
If Old Lady Tian really asks them to buy water, they won't dare to rob her, but they'll just give up on it!
But then Old Lady Tian said, "We're all family, this old woman will never ask you for money to fetch water!"
The old lady noticed that everyone looked unwell, so she spoke up first. Sure enough, the villagers' complexions improved.
Grandma Tian then continued, "Just have everyone say something nice to my Guoguo so she can have a good laugh."
The villagers…
They almost thought they misheard?
Simply put, Grandma Tian just wanted them to flatter Tian Guoguo, right?
What is this picture of?
Aren't you afraid that your child will die young if they hear too many nice things?
But upon further reflection…
Tian Guoguo has been called a jinx by the village since she was a child. Now that her luck has finally turned around, the Tian family wants to hear some good things.
Some villagers were the first to start taking pictures.
"I've always felt that our Guoguo has a full forehead and a square jaw, and is destined for great things. Auntie is truly blessed."
Although these words sound a bit strange, they are indeed kind words.
Grandma Tian looked at her granddaughter in her arms with a happy smile.
Tian Guoguo also felt that these words were strange, as if she had been divined!
But it still sounds alright!
She loves to hear it!
