Su Liuer took Sister Li's hand and stuffed the copper coin into her hand, saying with a smile, "There are so many magical herbs in our village, why would we go far away? Listen to me, go pick the magical herbs with them tomorrow."
Mrs. Li held the copper coin in her hand, feeling uncomfortable and upset.
Mrs. Wang said to her, "Just listen to her. She has her own ideas."
Sister Li finally left with a sad face, even more anxious and worried than Su Liuer.
On the other hand, Su Liuer still ate and slept as usual, and Mrs. Wang had no idea what she was thinking.
The next day.
Su Liuer and Wang Pozi still went to the town in two trips, morning and afternoon, to do business, and had no intention of looking for villagers to discuss buying the herbal jelly.
Sister Li went to pick the magic herbs with others as Su Liuer said. This made everyone more confident, thinking that by tonight, Su Liuer would have no magic herbs left to use!
Everyone was delighted.
But when Su Liuer came back, everyone was dumbfounded!
"Where did she get this magic herb?!" someone exclaimed, pointing at the two large bundles of magic herb piled on the donkey cart.
The others were also shocked and upset. Old Donkey Head helped unload the container and the fairy grass, and said to the onlookers around:
"Madam Su asked people from other villages to pick them. Do you really think you can pick all the magical herbs around here? You're really imaginative!"
The old donkey-head drove the donkey cart away shakily. Su Liuer and Wang Po moved the things into the yard and didn't even pay attention to these people.
Mrs. Wang closed the fence gate.
He said to the people outside, "I won't hide it from you. We only spent three cents to buy these magical herbs. They are just wild herbs that are useless to others. Are you still worried that no one will be willing to sell them to us?"
Mrs. Wang sneered and glanced at the group, then added, "We're all from the same village. If you had come to discuss and inquire about this from the beginning, why would we buy from someone else instead of you?"
After saying this, Mrs. Wang turned around and went in without caring how the people outside tried to keep her.
Back in the house, Su Liuer gave Wang Pozi a thumbs up and praised her, "You said it very well. It's going to piss them off to death."
Seeing Su Liuer's quirky look, Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, she had prepared for the rainy day and secretly found someone to pick the magic grass and send it directly to the town.
However, Wang Po didn't know whether it was bought for three cents. At least that's what Su Liuer told her.
"What are you going to do next? You'll have to ask people from other villages to buy the herbal jelly from them, but after a while, will people from other villages become the same as them?" Mrs. Wang started to worry again after thinking about it.
Su Liuer pondered for a moment and said mysteriously, "Just wait and see, mother-in-law."
After dinner.
Wang Gui came to visit Wang Po's house. He came for two things.
"Aunt, I've already taken care of the land issue. Da Lei's family has a piece of wasteland that's perfect for us! We can go to the town government office tomorrow to sign the paperwork and transfer the ownership. When are you free for us to go together?"
"Then tomorrow afternoon, you and Da Lei will go to the town with me." Wang Po was going to the town to deliver herbal jelly in the afternoon, and she could go to the yamen then.
This matter was resolved with just two simple sentences, but Wang Gui couldn't find a way to approach the other matter. He hesitated again and again, and was hesitant to speak.
Mrs. Wang was worried about him, but she just didn't bring it up.
After repeated ideological struggles, Wang Gui gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, your business of celestial grass honey is doing well and we are all happy for you. I heard that you are now collecting celestial grass. There are plenty of them in our village. Why don't you ask the villagers to buy them?"
