Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 690: Don’t Be the Bottom Village

The heat subsided, and in the large farmlands outside the city, the ears of corn were bent. The annual autumn harvest officially began. Jiang Fubao had returned to the village with his grandfather Jiang Shoujia two days ago. One was the village chief and was responsible for the autumn harvest in the village, and the other was in charge of the medicinal fields. During the autumn harvest, two kinds of medicinal herbs were just ripe, so every household had to divide into two teams to work.

The strong laborers went to harvest the crops, while the women and children went to collect medicinal herbs.

Unlike the tiring work of harvesting rice, harvesting medicinal herbs requires carefulness and diligence. One has to squat on the ground and dig bit by bit. It is a little easier than harvesting rice. Plus, the money earned from selling medicinal herbs is the bulk of the money. So, even though crops are extremely important, every household in Jiangjia Village pays great attention to the harvest of medicinal herbs.

Both are equal in their hearts.

If outsiders entered the village at this time, they would find that there was no one in the entire village, and even the dogs kept by each family had run to the fields to play.

On the left is a medicinal field, and on the right across the river is a farmland, where everyone is busy working. The same is true for other villages.

However, they had no medicinal herbs to harvest, but this year was a bumper year and everyone had a smile on their face.

The harvest of crops means that this year will be a good year. If you tighten your belt, you may be able to save two taels of silver in a year.

Two taels of silver can be used in many ways. You can use it to find a wife for your child, or you can repair the dilapidated house at home.

Everyone depends on the autumn harvest to make a living. "Do you know? I heard that Zhoujia Village has also started to grow medicinal herbs. Hey, when will it be our turn? Seeing that Jiangjia Village is getting richer and richer, many families in the village have cows. Look at us. In the whole village, except for the village chief's family, who can afford to buy a cow? I wish I was from Jiangjia Village. Hey, why did I marry to Sunjia Village in the first place? I might as well marry to Jiangjia Village. I really regret it.

Previously, I had a date with a man from Jiangjia Village, but my parents thought he was poor and my family could only offer a dowry of one and a half taels of silver, so they married me here. For so many years, I have never had a good day. I have only suffered hardships. I have finally reached the age of being a mother-in-law, and my three sons are waiting to get married. How can my family have so much money? Alas, at my age, I still have to work in the fields. I am suffering."

In the fields of Sunjia Village, while taking a break, a middle-aged woman complained to the woman next to her.

His words were full of envy for Jiangjia Village.

"What? Zhoujia Village has also started to grow medicinal herbs? Why? When did Zhoujia Village and Jiangjia Village become so close? Logically, even if they want to grow them, it should be our turn. You know, Mugen's grandson married the second son of Village Chief Jiang.

This is a relationship where the broken bones are still connected to the tendons. How come it is Zhoujia Village's turn? Didn't Zhoujia Village cause trouble in Jiangjia Village before? There is another person in the village who is in jail. Why can they grow crops?"

The woman next to her didn't care whether her life was hard or not, but her mind was full of thoughts about medicinal herbs.

The voice was so loud that after it was spoken, people who were doing farm work nearby came over.

"What did you just say? Zhoujia Village has started to grow medicinal herbs? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Yes, why does Zhoujia Village also grow medicinal herbs? Could it be that the daughter of the new village chief is married to the Jiang village chief? Many of his grandchildren are still unmarried." "That shouldn't be possible. His grandchildren of marriageable age are either studying in school and have achieved academic honors, or learning business from their family. How can they look at the girls from Zhoujia Village? Zhoujia Village is not as wealthy as our village. I don't believe it. If that's the case, I will take my eldest grandson to Jiangjia Village after the autumn harvest tomorrow. I will beg on my knees to find a good marriage for my granddaughter."

"Don't make blind guesses. There's no such thing as marriage or not. The wasteland in Jiangjia Village is not enough for farming. I heard that the miracle doctor of the Jiang family is going to open a clinic in another place. He needs a lot of medicinal herbs. It's cheap to see a doctor there, so it's not cost-effective to buy herbs, so he grows them himself. I also heard that the price of herbs is the same as in Jiangjia Village. It's true that this little miracle doctor is a good person with a conscience. He is worthy of being from the village."

"Liang, how do you know that? You know it so clearly, even though none of us know it. You didn't make it up, did you?"

The Liang mentioned by this person was the middle-aged woman who complained at the beginning.

"Bah, what nonsense am I talking about? My younger sister married into Zhoujia Village. I went to the wedding banquet of her younger son. She even brought five eggs with her. I was so sad. My younger sister told me. Zhoujia Village kept the news a secret. I'm afraid not many people know about it. The medicinal seeds have only been planted for a short time. I don't think they will mature this year. Hey, they will make a lot of money next year. We are not like this. We work in these broken fields all day long. We can't save any money all year round and we don't know what we are tired of."

Liang sighed again and again.

I'm so jealous.

"Really? If there's not enough land to farm, why don't you come to our village? Our village isn't far away. Besides, our land is bigger than Zhoujia Village's. How can Zhoujia Village farm? We even have a relative of Village Chief Jiang in our village. Even if they can farm, it should be our turn."

"Yes, now Zhoujia Village is going to be so proud. Jiangjia Village was always at the bottom and was the poorest. Later, Zhoujia Village was at the bottom. Now Zhoujia Village grows medicinal herbs. Then, won't our Sunjia Village be at the bottom? This is too much. Village chief, clan leader, come quickly. Something big has happened."

"What's the point of calling the village chief? I think we should go find Sun Mugen. Didn't his third daughter Pingmei marry Jiang Eryong? Let Sun Mugen ask his in-laws if we can grow medicinal herbs in Sunjia Village. After these crops are harvested, we will just grow radishes and cabbages in the fields. It would be better to grow medicinal herbs. We can harvest them before the spring planting next year and make some money. Then we can continue to grow crops. We can grow two crops a year. In less than three years, our village will be rich."

Some people were jealous, some were envious, some called the village chief for advice, and some even called Sun Pingmei's biological parents over.

Sun Mugen's family was harvesting rice. They were called over with confused faces, full of bewilderment.

"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and harvest the rice? Why are you chatting here? If you don't harvest, I will do it."

Sun Pingmei's mother He Xinghua said in a bad tone.

She felt that the villagers were delaying her family's rice harvest.

"Sun Heshi, please don't cut it. It's a big deal. Why cut it?"

The person who called them over said anxiously.

"What's the matter? It doesn't look like it's going to rain." For farmers, the most important thing is the crops. Now is the autumn harvest time, so the most important thing He Xinghua thinks is that it is going to rain.

She looked up at the sky, but it didn't look like it was going to rain.
