Li Bixia wasn’t as meek as Hunter Cao. She immediately retorted, “Does whether my family is rich or not have anything to do with you? Who do you think you are? If you’re all that impressive, don’t grow herbs in this lifetime!”

Old Madam Qian was also furious. “Who cares? When you guys run out of food, I’ll watch you guys cry!”

“Hehe.” Li Bixia turned her head away from her.

Old Madam Qian hurriedly pulled Chen Qiulian along. “None of us will plant them, right?”

Chen Qiulian indeed didn’t want to plant it. Xu Qing was very smart now, so she might get payback if she refused. However, she didn’t want Old Madam Qian to think that she was in cahoots with the Qian family. Old Madam Qian went around saying that the daughter of the Qian family was going to marry the Xu family’s Xu Jiangzhong in the future. She really overestimated her daughter! There were many people who wanted to marry her youngest son.

“Who said that my family won’t grow them?” Chen Qiulian snorted.

Old Madam Qian was embarrassed and was about to say something when she was interrupted by the village chief. “Those who want to plant can go to Xu Qing’s place to sign the contract and get the herbs. Then, there will be herb farmers to teach them.”

Everyone looked at Xu Qing and saw her standing calmly in the crowd. She thought about how it was almost the time she had arranged for Teng Nian to get the herbs. As expected, Teng Nian pushed a cart of medicinal seedlings over with a few herb farmers behind him.

Then, Xu Qing asked Xu Huai to record the number of people. Xu Huai had learned some new words during this period of time, so he was able to do this.

The relationship between the other villagers and Xu Qing’s family was quite good, and they praised their family in all sorts of ways. The ten-year-old Xu Huai knew how to read, and even the eight-year-old Xu Zhi was smart. The five-year-old Xu Xiang also helped out at the side.

Qu Feng and Xu Jiangxi smiled when they heard everyone praise their children.

However, Chen Qiulian snorted. “So what if he knows how to read and write? He’ll never be able to rival my fifth son’s achievements.”

......

Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered to bicker with Chen Qiulian, but she actually didn’t intend to sign the contract after receiving the herbal seeds.

“Sign it.” Xu Qing looked at Chen Qiulian coldly.

“How can you speak to your grandmother like that?! This is on you.” Chen Qiulian said matter-of-factly.

“Alright, then the herbs your family grows in the future will belong to me.” Xu Qing also said matter-of-factly.

Chen Qiulian trembled in anger, and the others snorted coldly. This old lady tried to take advantage of others all the time and didn’t even let her granddaughter off. How shameless.

Chen Qiulian had no choice but to sign it obediently. However, Chen Qiulian only used a small portion of the field to plant herbs. In case she didn’t earn money from the herbs, she didn’t want to not have food to eat. ????????n????e????????. ????????ｍ

Those who received the herbs were taught how to plant them, while those who didn’t get herbs returned in disdain.

Xu Qing looked at the name list. Only ten or so families didn’t request seeds.

Actually, they didn’t believe Xu Qing and couldn’t be bothered to take care of such complicated herbs.

Of course, Xu Qing didn’t care about these families either. If she really gave it to them, if they didn’t cherish it, they probably wouldn’t be able to grow the herbs well. She really couldn’t be bothered to deal with that sort of trouble.

After the family settled these matters, they went back home. However, Xu Jiangxi had a gloomy expression.

“Father, what’s wrong?” Xu Qing had some inkling.

“With my crippled legs, I don’t know when I’ll be able to farm, and I don’t even have a field at home. How can I plant food and herbs to earn money? If my legs recover, I can even reclaim wastelands…” Xu Jiangxi had been farming his entire life, so he naturally couldn’t bear to leave the fields.

“Father, don’t worry. I’ll buy some fields,” Xu Qing comforted.

“Little Qing, I can’t spend your money,” Xu Jiangxi said earnestly. Then, he subconsciously looked at Qiao Yanhui. Now that Qiao Yanhui had returned to normal, who knew if he would mind that Xu Qing kept helping her parents?

However, Qiao Yanhui didn’t even have an expression.

Xu Qing guessed Xu Jiangxi’s concerns. “Father, Little Hui is part of our family.”

“That’s still your money.” As a father, how could he use his daughter’s money?!

Xu Qing knew that she couldn’t dissuade Xu Jiangxi, so she didn’t say anything else. After she bought the fields for Xu Jiangxi, he wouldn’t be able to object.

Xu Jiangxi heaved a sigh of relief when Xu Qing didn’t say anything else. However, when he looked at his gradually recovering legs, his eyes became filled with hope!

That night, Xu Qing went to look for Xu Yunfang and Lu Changmu. She was very busy, so she naturally didn’t have time to delay things.

Lu Changmu seemed shifty and there was a scheming look in his eyes. Xu Qing sneered. “Uncle, how have you been?”
