The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system
Chapter 38 The Wang Family’s Kindness
Boss Zhou lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "This Gastrodia elata is extremely difficult to find. They only grow on very high mountains.
Some of them are hidden in the bushes. Even if we find them, we only find a few of them.
There won't be large areas of growth together.
I only saw my dad dig it once. He only dug a few pieces. The quality is not as good as the one in my hand.
It was just a few pieces and I sold them for three taels of silver.
The owner of the pharmacy said that if it is prepared well, the price will be better.”
The others were extremely surprised after hearing what Boss Zhou said.
You have to know that they work hard to take care of the crops all year round, but in the end they don’t even have half a tael of silver left after paying taxes.
Just a few pieces of this Gastrodia elata can be sold for three taels of silver.
In their opinion, this is almost a sky-high price.
The villagers started talking about it.
Qian Youfu was always the most active one. He was the first to speak: "My god, this Tianma is so expensive. The Wang family is finally rich now."
Although Qian Youfu's tone was envious, this time he did not react the same way as the last time he saw Wang Zhuzi with a machete.
There was a lot of sourness in his words. This time he was just expressing pure envy.
Qian Lai Tou also said: "This must have been found by my little aunt. If you ask me, my little aunt is a little living god.
There is nothing she can’t do. Last time, my aunt took me to dig…”
Qian Laitou acted as if he had dug it up himself, and looked very proud of it.
Obviously it has become Xiaomi's mindless bragging.
When Chief Qian heard Qian Lai Tou's increasingly outrageous words, he stretched out his walking stick and knocked on the stone a few times.
The crutch collided with the stone, making a few "thump thump thump" sounds.
When Qian Laitou heard the voice, he realized that he had said too much and shut up in dismay.
Qian Lizheng heard the voice and looked up.
A hint of wisdom shone through his eyes, which seemed cloudy due to his age.
He took over Qian Laitou's words and said, "Chief Qian, just tell me. What is the matter that you called us here for?
It certainly won’t be just to let us take a look at this Gastrodia elata.”
Patriarch Qian saw that the time was right and stopped keeping the secret.
He stood up from the big rock with the help of a crutch and walked among the villagers.
A sigh came from his throat. The old man's voice was deep, revealing the vicissitudes of life.
He said to the villagers: "I won't keep you in suspense. The main reason I called you all here this time is because of this."
He raised the Gastrodia elata in his hand and continued, "The Wang family found a large area of Gastrodia elata. But they are kind-hearted.
Thinking that we were from the same village and had fled famine together, he couldn't bear to see us having such a hard time in Wudu.
So we planned to dig together, and every family would have a share. In this way, when we get to Wudu, we can all use the Gastrodia elata to exchange for some money to buy some land.
It's not like everyone didn't die on the road to escape famine, but starved to death in Wudu. What do you think?"
After hearing what Chief Qian said, Qian Lizheng clapped his hands and said excitedly, "This, this, is this true?"
After saying that, he looked at Old Wang who came to the meeting.
Old Wang shuddered at the villagers' gazes that seemed to be real.
The old farmer, who had been farming all his life, had never seen such a scene.
He said hurriedly: "Village head, it's true. We found a patch of Gastrodia elata. We thought we should share it with everyone. After all, we wouldn't have found it if we hadn't fled."
Qian Lizheng listened to what Old Wang said and walked to Old Wang.
He reached out his hand and patted Lao Wang's shoulders a few times, his eyes full of gratitude towards Lao Wang.
He said to Old Wang: "Thank you, Wang family, for your generous help. Our entire village will remember this kindness."
Qian Youfu also choked up and said, "Uncle Wang, your family is really kind, just like living Bodhisattvas. I, Qian Youfu, will never forget your great kindness in my life."
The others also followed suit and expressed their gratitude to Old Wang.
Qian Laosi was originally sitting next to Lao Wangtou. When he heard Lao Wangtou say that he wanted everyone to dig Gastrodia elata together, he excitedly hugged Lao Wangtou.
The villagers saw him in the act, and his old face turned dark red.
Fortunately, it was getting darker and they were sitting far away from the fire, so no one could see clearly.
Qian Laosi quickly let go of the hand that was holding Lao Wangtou and stammered, "Me too, me too."
Old Wang could only nod awkwardly. He was so old, but he was hugged by Qian Lao Si today.
The others looked at Qian Laosi's expression and smiled friendly.
Chief Qian saw that the villagers had calmed down and were no longer as excited as before.
He said to the villagers, "Okay, let's stop here today. It's too late today, and I'm afraid we won't be able to see clearly when we dig and might damage the Gastrodia elata.
We will go dig again tomorrow morning. You all remember what I just said, remember the Wang family's kindness. Just think about how to repay them.
If you want to do anything to let down the Wang family in the future, first think about how much they have helped us along the way.
If you really did it, don't blame me for being merciless."
When Chief Qian spoke the last few sentences, his tone suddenly became stern.
These words were like sharp knives, deeply engraved in the villagers' minds.
They all started shaking their heads. They all made promises to Old Wang. What they said was very sincere.
"Okay, let's all disperse."
The guys then dispersed and returned to their own camps.
After returning home, I told my family what I had just said in the meeting.
I emphasized the generosity of the Wang family and the help they had given me along the way.
Finally, he repeated what Patriarch Qian had said last.
Qian Youfu's wife Sun Cuihua said, "That's impossible. What does Chief Qian think of us?
How can we do such an unscrupulous thing? It is too late to repay the favor.
What's more, Guaibao saved Goushengzi's life. I tell you, Qian Youfu, if you dare to do anything to let down the Wang family.
Not to mention the village chief, even I won’t forgive you.”
After hearing what Sun Cuihua said, Qian Youfu's brows were twisted with anger.
He angrily said to Sun Cuihua: "Who do you think I am, woman?
Although I, Qian Youfu, am a bit of a nag, I am not someone who cannot tell good from bad. "
Sun Cuihua then smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is pretty good."
After that, he took out the dried vegetables and some dried wood ear mushrooms that he had just sorted out and wrapped them in oil paper.
He said to Qian Youfu: "The Wang family has helped us so much, and we don't have much to give in return.
I will send these dry goods over tomorrow and let them have a taste. When we get to Wudu.
Thank them again.”
