Chapter 142 Harsh Words Hurt People
The land issue was easily settled. Ye Lingche said that he had a businessman friend who opened a clinic and would purchase medicinal materials in the future.
In disguise, it is to help the villagers get rich, because Ye Lingche said that as long as the quality is up to standard, he can take as much as he can.
As long as you grow it well, you won’t have to worry about sales. It’s a sure-win business.
The village chief said, "As for the land, I'll take you to look at it later. It wasn't growing anything at the time, so no one wanted it. If you think it's okay, I'll sell it to your family."
Ye Lingche nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
"By the way, Lin Che." The village chief suddenly called him over.
"What's the matter?"
"So Xiao Miao's marriage was ruined by the Bai family?"
Ye Lingche suddenly frowned: "My wife only lent her some money to give her some confidence. The disagreement is between her and Chen Yu. Don't put all the blame on my family."
The village chief pursed his lips, sighed slowly, and said, "I don't mean to blame her, but Xiao Miao's marriage is really worrying. You have friends who are doing business outside, so you must know a lot of people. Why not find a few and let Xiao Miao get to know them.
Xiao Miao has liked you before, maybe she will fall in love with someone around you?"
"The man who opened the shop is from my wife's side, and we're just acquaintances. It was Sui'an's idea to have the villagers grow herbs together this time. It's not easy for me to introduce him. After all, she and Sui'an didn't get along before, and I'm afraid there will be an argument, which will affect the affairs of the village, which is not good."
Ye Lingche said with a kind face, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Li Xiaomiao has her own ideas about her marriage. There's no point in others worrying about it. Let her decide for herself."
The village chief opened his mouth, but he couldn't convince Ye Lingche.
Ye Lingche attributed a lot of credit to Bai Sui'an. Since it concerned the future of the village, his previous opinion of Bai Sui'an could not be brought up.
"You're right. Xiao Miao still has to worry about it herself!"
The village chief spoke loudly, as if he wanted to tell others to hear.
Ye Lingche did not disturb the village chief from meeting other people, and left after finishing his business.
As soon as he left, Li Xiaomiao's mother came out.
With serious expressions, the two looked at each other in silence.
After returning home, Ye Lingche explained the matter of the land to Bai Sui'an.
Because Bai Sui'an understood the habits of herbs, even if that piece of land couldn't grow crops, it might be able to grow other medicinal herbs, so Bai Sui'an would be asked to go check on the land later.
Bai Sui'an agreed immediately.
Afterwards, Ye Lingche asked her to make a confession again, asking Bai Sui'an to admit that it was her idea to ask the villagers to grow herbs together, and to say that the man who opened the shop outside was Bai Sui'an's good friend.
Bai Sui'an could understand why the person who opened the shop was a friend. He was just afraid that others would find out about Ye Lingche.
But it was Ye Lingche who proposed that the villagers grow herbs, and only the people in the village knew about it. Why should such a small credit be taken from her?
"Why?" Bai Sui'an asked.
"The villagers had a bad impression of you before. I'm afraid they will be prejudiced against you like Chen. If you take the credit for this, they will be grateful and won't bother you anymore."
Bai Sui'an no longer cared about what others thought of her. She said, "So what? Whether they like me or not doesn't affect my life. I don't need to take credit for your work."
"I'm not stealing it, I'm giving it to you."
Ye Lingche held Bai Sui'an's hand to his heart and said, "You don't care what others say about you, but we do. We all know that you are a good person, and you definitely don't want others to say anything bad about you."
Only your family and friends care about your reputation outside.
This kind of preaching method was still very unfamiliar in Bai Sui'an's memory.
In the past, she was alone and did whatever she wanted. She used to turn a blind eye when others said bad things about her behind her back.
Because you will be put in solitary confinement for hurting others and can't do anything, it's too boring. Going out to do a mission can help you talk to the target of the mission to relieve your boredom.
The organization only asked her to complete the mission and not hurt anyone. This was the first time someone wanted to build a good reputation for her.
Bai Sui'an was motivated: "I understand. From now on, I will try to build good relationships with the villagers and not damage my family's reputation."
Ye Lingche tapped her forehead and said helplessly, "It has nothing to do with our family's reputation. It's hurtful words. Even if you don't care about what others say, it will always be sad if you hear it too much. I don't want others to ruin your mood for no reason."
"it is good."
When he went to see the fields, many people came to join in the fun. The village chief spread the news quickly, and everyone in the village knew that Bai Sui'an had a friend who ran a clinic and wanted to buy herbs.
Many people are curious about the seedlings and the purchase price.
So I followed the village chief and asked.
Bai Sui'an pushed Ye Lingche forward, and it was basically Ye Lingche who answered other people's questions. Since it concerned the purchase price, Bai Sui'an didn't want to interrupt.
Even though Ye Lingche didn't know the exact price, he could still explain it to the villagers.
With him around, Bai Sui'an didn't even have to talk. When they arrived at the place, he left Ye Lingche there and went down to check the soil in the field.
"This land was previously dug by someone else, but the yield was decreasing. The family behind it went to town to find work, and now the house has been sold to Li You. No one wants this land anymore. It's quite far from where you live, and it takes a long time to walk here every day. But if you really want this land, I can give it to you at a lower price."
The people standing by saw that Bai Sui'an was still looking at the land seriously, as if he really wanted to buy it.
Someone advised Ye Lingche, "Lin Che, don't let your wife waste money. What does she know about farming? This land is far away from the land in our village. The soil is different. Look at it, it's all hairy. You can't grow anything here."
Someone nearby chimed in, "Yeah, isn't the owner of the medicine shop someone she knows? You guys can just earn some commission from us helping you grow the herbs. You're hunters anyway, and you don't rely on farming for a living."
The people around were talking one after another, and Ye Lingche couldn't get a word in. He knew that these people thought Bai Sui'an wanted to share the money earned from farming and herbs. He waited for everyone to finish talking and was about to explain to others.
Bai Sui'an made up his mind and asked the village chief for a smaller piece of land, which was a little over one acre. Since no one wanted it and nothing could be grown on it, he calculated it as three taels per acre.
There was still a lot of land around, so the village chief asked, "Don't you want the rest as well?"
This piece of land is all like this, and it all has a problem. Bai Sui'an knows how to manage these lands, but it will take more energy, which Bai Sui'an doesn't want to do.
"This is all I have. If I get more, I won't be able to grow it all. I'll go back and get the silver for you."
Bai Sui'an went up and pushed Ye Lingche to leave.
Others were talking around him recklessly: "What can we grow with so little? The yield from that land is so low, if we don't buy more to grow vegetables, we won't even have enough to eat at home."
Then I heard Bai Sui'an's sinister retort:
"You know so much, why don't you help me plant it?"
