When Xu Xingchen finished watering and turned around, he saw Jun Haoyue frowning.
"What are you looking at?"
She walked over and found that the man was holding a portrait in his hand, and the person in the portrait seemed to be her!
Jun Haoyue retracted his gaze: "I was looking at Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang saw me drawing your portrait just now, and she seemed to have misunderstood something. I wanted to explain, but Aunt Wang didn't give me a chance."
These few words have already outlined the situation at that time in front of Xu Xingchen.
Needless to say, Aunt Wang is going to cause trouble again.
But Xu Xingchen wasn't afraid either: "A man of integrity has nothing to fear, so why should I be afraid of Aunt Wang? Oh, and your painting is quite beautiful. You should keep it well after the ink dries!"
Jun Haoyue was infected by her emotions and nodded.
The two went back to the house to eat.
Compared to Aunt Wang's matter, Xu Xingchen was more worried about the medicinal materials. Just as Chen Pi said, the herbs on the mountain could not last too long.
Her only way to lead the villagers to wealth now is to make pesticides. If this way is cut off, she will have to find new methods.
That’s too troublesome!
Because he had something on his mind, Xu Xingchen kept tossing and turning, and finally came up with an idea near morning.
It’s just a medicinal herb. If you can’t pick it in the mountains, why not just grow it yourself?
She remembered that many people in the village still had vacant fields, and they could be mobilized to grow medicinal herbs! Xu Xingchen did as he said, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and hurried out of the house.
Xu Xingchen originally wanted to go directly to the village chief's house to discuss business, but halfway, she found that many people looked at her with strange eyes.
Especially the aunts, their expressions were even more strange.
"Aunts, is there something on my face?" She subconsciously touched her face.
Unexpectedly, the two men actually retreated, as if they regarded her as a monster.
If only one or two people did this, it would be fine and Xu Xingchen wouldn't care. But if everyone who saw her did this along the way, it would be very strange, wouldn't it?
Xu Xingchen couldn't contain his confusion and bribed a child with candy: "Do you know why they are afraid of me?"
The child swallowed, obviously very greedy.
After a while, he finally spoke: "It's because of Grandma Wang. She said that you and your cousin were having an affair. When my parents heard about it, they scolded you and told me not to get too close to you, otherwise I would become bad too." The child munched on the candy and tilted his head. "Sister, what does having an affair mean?"
Xu Xingchen patted his head and said, "Don't ask such questions, kid. Go play."
After letting the child go, Xu Xingchen became more and more angry and went straight to Aunt Wang's house.
She arrived at the perfect time.
At this time, Aunt Wang was sitting at the door and gossiping with a group of aunts from the village. When they looked up and saw her coming, several of them shut up.
Xu Xingchen showed a sneer on his face: "Aunt Wang, are you happy gossiping?"
Aunt Wang, who was named, not only did not feel guilty at all, but she stood up and said: "Of course I am happy. Being able to expose your true face in front of the villagers is worth dying for."
Xu Xingchen couldn't help but applaud. "You're really amazing, but I have a question. How can my cousin and I be considered to be having an affair? Does it mean that just because he painted my portrait, we're having an affair? If that's really how paintings are considered, then wouldn't those scholars on the street who help people paint be able to have three wives and four concubines without paying?"
Aunt Wang said stubbornly, "I saw the way he looked at you. It was clearly the way he looked at his lover!"
"Haha, have you ever thought about the possibility that there's nothing wrong between me and my cousin, and you're blind?"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Xu Xingchen threw out his trump card: "Aunt Wang, I've been putting up with you for a long time. You always spread rumors that there's something going on between me and my cousin, and I've always tolerated it. But it's a pity that you always push your luck. In that case, don't blame me for being cruel. Don't come to me when you're planting herbs in the village from now on."
"Grow herbs? What herbs?"
The onlookers realized that something was wrong and started asking questions, and Xu Xingchen told them his plan.
When those people saw that they could make a fortune, they immediately stood on her side: "Aunt Wang, you are really going too far."
"What's wrong with someone drawing a picture?"
Aunt Wang gritted her teeth, thinking that she could make money by making insecticide, but would lose everything if she offended Xu Xingchen. She decisively changed her expression and said, "Xingchen, I was wrong."
Xu Xingchen pretended not to hear and turned his head to the side.
Aunt Wang had to smile and walked forward: "This is all a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? Do you think I'll believe it if you keep misunderstanding me every other day? Aunt Wang, don't treat everyone like a fool."
Aunt Wang's face turned pale.
At this moment, she thought of all that Xu Xingchen had done to her in the past, and then thought of how other villagers would be wealthy while she would be poor in the future, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
"I...I really know I was wrong this time. Can you forgive me?"
Only after Aunt Wang repeatedly promised not to make the same mistake again did Xu Xingchen forgive her.
Afterwards, she distributed the herbal seeds that Munduner brought back to the villagers and asked them to sow them in their own homes. In addition, Xu Xingchen also taught them how to grow herbs.
The villagers wrote down everything and followed the method when they returned. Not long after, the herbs started to grow.
Because the whole village was planting this time, the supply of raw materials for pesticides was never interrupted, and the output naturally increased.
Chen Jia saw this as an opportunity and started selling the insecticide elsewhere.
After trying it, many people praised it highly. The insecticide was in short supply and the price kept rising. The people in Sanwan Village became rich and their lives became better and better.
