Chapter 682 She is the only one in the village who is not allowed to plant
"Yes, it's hot, if we don't water it now, we won't be able to water it at noon."
"Could it be that something happened again? Who has committed a crime again?"
"I don't see any fewer people. It shouldn't be the police who came. Chief, please tell me quickly. I'm so worried."
"..."
Many people were urging us.
Some people even speculated that someone in the village had committed a crime and was sent to jail.
The sound is very noisy.
Village Chief Zhou cleared his throat, coughed a few times, and said in a loud voice: "Be quiet, shut up, and listen to me, everyone. Your good days are coming——"
One sentence made the villagers in front of him boil.
"What do you mean? Why are we going to have a good life?"
"Yeah, could it be that you, the village chief, have become rich and want to pull us in?"
"That's not right. Village chief, you stay in the village every day, how can you be prosperous? I see. Did you dig ginseng in the mountains and want to share it with us? Village chief, you are too polite. We dare not take it if you give us too much. However, if you share some meat with us, I dare to take it. My grandson just happens to be craving for meat."
"Just now, I saw a carriage coming into the village and then leaving very quickly. Is it related to this? Who was that person?"
These people were speculating wildly.
Village Chief Zhou did not keep the secret and continued, "What ginseng is it? It doesn't know me, and I don't know it either. Even if it grows in front of my house, I will just treat it as a weed. Don't guess randomly. This is Jiangjia Village, and the granddaughter of Chief Jiang is here..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the villagers.
"What? The granddaughter of the Jiangjia Village chief?"
"Oh my, isn't this the divine doctor Jiang who was personally appointed by the emperor? What is she doing here?"
"I see! Is she here to collect chestnuts? After all, our village is close to the mountains, and there are chestnuts in the mountains. But this is not right. The chestnuts are not ripe yet. Isn't she coming too early?"
"You are so stupid. She probably came here for the medicinal herbs. Have you forgotten? Why did Jiangjia Village become prosperous? It's because of the medicinal herbs! The wasteland has been transformed into medicinal fields. They live a very happy life. However, Jiangjia Village only has a few wastelands, so naturally there is not enough for planting.
I heard that there are long queues at Ren Ai Clinic every day. They are all from other places who come to see the miracle doctor. There must be not enough herbs. They probably want us to help grow herbs. Village chief, what do you think, am I right?"
A man named Zhou Dazhong asked loudly.
Unexpectedly, Village Chief Zhou actually nodded at him.
"You all guessed wrong, except Dazhong. Dr. Jiang came here for this matter. She wants to buy the wasteland in our village, and then you will open up the wasteland and cultivate the fields. She will give you medicinal seeds to plant, and when the herbs are mature, she will come to harvest them. Who is willing to plant? Each family can plant as many acres of wasteland as they open up.
If you want to plant, please sign up with me. I have made it clear that if you are not willing to plant more than 30%, Dr. Jiang will not cooperate with us. Don't miss this good opportunity. It will be too late to regret it. You know what life is like in Jiangjia Village. "
Although Village Chief Zhou knew that most of them would agree, he still tried to persuade them.
As he expected, all the villagers lined up with joy.
Every family was named.
Even before Jiang Fubao bought the wasteland, they had already selected the wasteland to be reclaimed.
If there are many people, they can open up three or four acres of land, and if there are few people, they can open up one or two acres of land.
In the end, the whole village participated.
Except for Sun Xiaotao who was excluded.
When Village Chief Zhou held a meeting that day, she was in the corner, watching in the dark.
Although the past six months have been hard, they are much happier than before.
At least she was self-sufficient and didn't have to be beaten anymore, let alone serve that idiot. However, no one talked to her, and Sun Xiaotao's personality became withdrawn. Her previously beautiful eyes now had slightly droopy eyelids, and were evolving into triangular eyes.
His face has changed a lot. If Jiang Zhuzi were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to recognize him.
The villagers guessed correctly, the poisonous mushroom was picked up by Sun Xiaotao on purpose.
When she was a child, she went to the town with her family and met an old woman selling mushrooms in the vegetable market. Someone who knew about the business happened to tell her that the mushrooms she was selling were mixed with this kind of five-step poisonous mushrooms. Coincidentally, this kind of mushroom was conspicuous and easy to remember, so Sun Xiaotao has remembered it until now.
When she came across the five-step poisonous mushrooms, she picked them all into her basket without a second thought.
Unfortunately, only one person was poisoned to death.
However, I thought about the dire situation that the Zhou family was living in now, suffering in prison, or doing forced labor.
She lived in the Zhou family's house and cultivated the Zhou family's land. How happy she was!
"Humph, if you don't call me, I won't be willing to go. What a joke. I really hope that Jiang Fubao won't take your herbs, so that you won't have anywhere to cry."
After saying this sinisterly, Sun Xiaotao left carrying the dung bucket.
There is still work to be done in the fields.
She had to hurry, otherwise the sun would be right overhead and the heat would be unbearable.
The hardships during this period made her health deteriorate a lot, and Old Mrs. Wang always gave her various tonics and secret medicines for fertility.
She still feels unwell from time to time.
After Jiang Fubao collected the medicinal herbs, she went to Zhoujia Village as promised. The procedures for purchasing the wasteland were completed without her presence.
After all, the magistrate was Meng Bujiu.
She treated the county government as her home and could go there whenever she wanted.
After saying something to the villagers of Zhoujia Village, she left.
The villagers had already chosen the land after taking note of the names that day, and Jiang Fubao left.
Each family split into two groups, half went to do farm work in the fields, and the other half went to reclaim wasteland. They even skipped their siesta at noon and went to the wasteland after dinner.
If you finish blooming early and take good care of it, you can plant medicinal herbs earlier.
The hottest time of the summer begins in late July and lasts until the end of August, when the high temperature slowly drops.
There are also several basins of ice in Jiang Fubao's clinic.
Such a generous expenditure is enough to prove how rich she is.
When she returned home in the evening, the doorman said that her godfather and godmother had come, so she went straight to the main room at the entrance to the courtyard to entertain the guests.
"Fubao, Ruyi, you're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come, take it."
Seeing the two sisters come in, Wan Xian immediately stood up, took a wooden box from the table beside her, opened it, and two bracelets appeared inside.
One is made of gold and inlaid with gems, and the other is a jade bracelet with a light pink color, which is very cute.
"What's this? Godmother, my second sister and I's birthday haven't come yet." Jiang Fubao asked, a little surprised.
"It's not a birthday at all. Your second sister helped me modify the recipe, and your godfather took it to the food store to sell it and made a lot of money. This dish can be eaten in summer, not to mention winter. In summer, you can replace the grapefruit with other fruits, and the taste is still good. Your godfather and I thought of giving Ruyi a piece of jewelry."
