Chapter 788 All dug up
"Go ahead, Miss, wherever you go, I will follow you. Burp..." Xue Huan ate too much seafood and kept burping.
"Look, what did I tell you to eat less, but you didn't listen. Fortunately, I bought you a candied haws, but you finished it and are still burping? Well, look what's outside." Jiang Fubao shook her head helplessly. She put down the booklet and pointed outside.
"Ah? What's outside? Hiccup! I didn't see anything..."
"Ah——" Jiang Fubao suddenly yelled before Xue Huan could finish her words.
Xue Huan was so scared that she almost fell into the foot bath tub.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Xue Huan was like a frightened roe deer. She opened her eyes wide, at a loss, and looked at Jiang Fubao blankly.
"Nothing, just to scare you, for fun." Seeing that she had forgotten about burping, Jiang Fubao returned to his original position and continued reading the booklet.
"Oh, I thought there was something outside. Why are you scaring me, miss? You bad guy, huh." Xue Huan didn't know that her hiccups had been cured by Jiang Fubao.
She pouted and muttered softly.
Jiang Fubao pretended not to hear.
After reading it and making plans for the future, she lay down on the bed.
I thought I could fall asleep as soon as I touched the pillow, but Xue Huan was snoring and she was still awake.
Because as soon as I closed my eyes, Meng Bujiu's figure appeared in my mind.
She had never been in love in her two lives, so she didn't know that this was the feeling of liking someone.
In her previous life, Jiang Fubao was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. She had no family and the only ones who accompanied her were other orphans.
She had few friends since she was a child, and even after she graduated from college and started working, she was still lonely.
Jiang Fubao couldn't be happier to feel the warmth of the Jiang family in this life.
When I read novels in the past, the heroines would travel back to ancient times and try every possible means to come back, but Jiang Fubao’s biggest fear was suddenly traveling back again.
Fortunately, her soul traveled across time and space, not her body, and her body was gone, probably having turned into bones long ago.
Thinking of her family, Jiang Fubao felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly.
"Chi chi chi——"
"Oh oh oh-"
The chickens raised in the Jiang family's backyard began to crow. Because the chickens had good food, their crowing was louder than that of other families. Even though the second courtyard was not close to the backyard, Jiang Fubao could hear it.
She stretched and sat up in bed.
Xue Huan was just sitting by the charcoal stove waiting for the water to boil.
There was a washbasin at her feet, with a towel in the basin, which was used to wash Jiang Fubao's face.
"Miss, you're awake. Let me pour you some water." Although the water was only warm, it was usable and saved the trouble of adding cold water.
Xue Huan poured the water and helped Jiang Fubao to put on his clothes. Then she waited for him to brush his teeth and wash up before combing his hair. The master and servant arrived at the courtyard after two quarters of an hour.
After having breakfast with her family, Jiang Fubao did not rush back to Jiangjia Village, but went to the clinic first. She waited until it was less busy at noon before she had lunch and set off.
Xue Huan and Pan Erya were following her, and Pan Shitou was still driving.
The pattern of one master and three servants seemed to be fixed; the four of them were always there wherever they went.
"Miss, shall we go to Jiangjia Village first?" After leaving the city gate, Pan Shitou asked through the curtain.
"We'll go back to Jiangjia Village first, then inspect each village one by one, and finally inspect Zhangjia Village. This way, we won't have to walk any extra distance, and we can go back to the city right away, which will save us a lot of time."
Jiang Fubao responded.
"Okay, I'll set off right away." The carriage started moving quickly, and Jiang Fubao's butt was bumped a little. She was used to it.
Not long after arriving home, she had traveled such a long way, and she didn't know how many days she had been sitting in the carriage. She felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and unexpectedly felt at ease.
The snow on the road was a little frozen, and the carriage was slipping. Pan Shitou slowed down to avoid overturning, so it was already late noon when they arrived at Jiangjia Village.
When the villagers of Jiangjia Village saw Jiang Fubao coming back, they all came out to greet him. They had been growing medicinal herbs for many years and had tasted the sweetness, so they treated the herbs with all their heart and effort.
Jiang Fubao just made a simple inspection and left. He did the same when he arrived at Zhoujia Village, until the carriage stopped at Sunjia Village.
When Jiang Fubao arrived at the medicinal field in Sunjia Village, her face turned completely cold.
Before leaving, she specifically reminded that the medicinal herbs planted this year are not frost-resistant, and if it snows, they must be covered with straw to protect them from freezing to death.
Jiangjia Village and Zhoujia Village are both treated in this way.
Only Sunjia Village.
A large medicinal field, at least nine-tenths of it was covered by snow. With the temperature dropping today, the snow froze before it melted.
The medicinal herbs buried underneath must have been frozen to death or crushed to death.
Jiang Fubao was extremely angry.
Even though she had suppressed Sunjia Village for so long and had made an example of them, these people still did not treat the precious medicinal species well.
If that’s the case, then don’t plant it.
I gave them the opportunity to make a fortune, but I was useless. I hope they won't regret it in the future.
Jiang Fubao looked at the medicinal field in front of him with fierce eyes, and there was a trace of heartache on his face.
"Shi Tou, go back to the mansion immediately and bring all the servants with you. No, it's too late. Go directly to Jiangjia Village and tell them that it was my request. Have all the villagers come and dig up all the medicinal seeds in Sunjia Village! If you don't want to plant them well, then don't plant them at all!"
How much can be saved?
Medicinal seeds are so expensive and hard to come by, but instead of cherishing them, they are treated like this.
Jiang Fubao couldn't even wait for Pan Shitou to go back to the city to call for help. Anyway, the villagers of Jiangjia Village gave her this face, so it didn't hurt to use him.
Soon, a large group of people came towards Sunjia Village.
There are men and women, young and old, and they all rely on Jiang Fubao to live a good life today. When Jiang Fubao shouts, they are eager to come and help.
Each of them held a hoe and a rake, and some even held kitchen knives and sickles.
Those who didn’t know would have thought that Sunjia Village was going to be raided.
The villagers who were taking a nap at home were awakened by the noise outside, and everyone came out to check.
Seeing so many people coming to the village, all from Jiangjia Village, they were so scared that they quickly put on their clothes and followed them.
Arriving at the medicinal field, Jiang Fubao was standing on a high slope, shouting, "Please dig out all the herbs in this field! Dig up the dead ones and throw them away, and dig up the living ones and take them away! Leave nothing behind! Thank you for your hard work!"
At the command, the villagers of Jiangjia Village raised their hoes and began to dig medicinal herbs.
This action scared the villagers of Sunjia Village.
These medicinal herbs were planted with great effort. If they were dug up, how would they exchange them for money?
Wouldn’t all this hard work be in vain?
"Oh my, what are you doing? Stop it! We have been growing medicinal herbs for so long, and you are actually going to dig them up. What are you doing?"
