Seeing that Qu Feng had figured it out, Xu Qing was relieved. As for Xu Jiangxi, with Qu Feng around, she wasn’t worried. As for the rumors in the village… Xu Qing brought Xun Fen and so pork and grains to look for the village chief. She left Teng Nian behind to prevent the Xu family from finding trouble with them. Teng Nian was smart and knew how to deal with them. If Xun Fen stayed, Xu Qing felt that Xun Fen might kill them directly!
The village chief was surprised to see Xu Qing. “Little Qing, why are you here?”
“Village Chief, I have sothing to discuss with you.” Xu Qing handed the thing to the village chief’s wife and smiled.
“If there’s anything, just say it.” The village chief felt that Xu Qing was becoming more and more capable. After being kicked out of the family, she didn’t even have land. But now, her family’s financial situation actually got better and better. Now, she even brought people with her when she went out!
“Village Chief, I’ll be frank. I’m a person who knows how to be grateful. The village has raised , and I also want to repay our village. Therefore, if there’s anything I need help with, I’ll hire the people in the village. However, the gossip in the village has made disappointed. Now, even the village nearby is talking about … In that case, I won’t dare to hire the people in the village for jobs anymore. If anyone asks, I hope you understand,” Xu Qing said bitterly.
The village chief’s heart skipped a beat. From the looks of it, this was definitely a big deal and could even affect the developnt of the entire village! He hurriedly promised, “Little Qing, you know that so people in the village like to spout nonsense and can’t bear to see others doing well. They’re jealous, but there are still many kind-hearted people. Don’t worry. I’ll warn them about this.”
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Xu Qing continued, “I think you’ve also heard that I have so ties with Mr. Bei Shu. Last ti, because of Mr. Bei Shu’s trust, the carpentry work was handed over to the Chen family’s father and son. I know that there are discussions in the village, but I didn’t interfere. However, Mr. Bei Shu still has business to do now because he’s very satisfied with the Chen family’s father and son, who I introduced to him last ti. Therefore, this ti, he still wants to hire our village’s people…” Xu Qing seed extrely cautious.
The village chief also had a serious expression. He could tell that this was definitely a big business! One had to know that their village had started out as a wasteland and gradually beca a village. However, they were also famous for their poverty. So villages nearby were different. They beca richer and richer, and all of most of their villagers were capable. It was easy for young people to get married. Every ti the villages held a eting, he felt ashad.
“Little Qing, what do you need? Just tell .” The village chief looked at Xu Qing with bright eyes. He looked forward to the future improvent of Anning Village.
“Mr. Bei Shu wants our village to help plant herbs. Don’t worry, it’s just so common nourishing herbs.” Xu Qing wanted to prescribe herbal tonics, so she couldn’t lack herbs. If she only wanted to stock up, she might as well plant them herself. It could guarantee that there wouldn’t be a shortage of herbs and save her a lot of trouble. As for so more precious herbs, she planned to buy a plantation and plant them privately.
However, Xu Qing’s words made the village chief ponder. “Little Qing, I can’t agree to this imdiately. Everyone plants food to prevent themselves from going hungry during the droughts. The herbs won’t prevent this. Besides, no one knows how to plant herbs…”
“Village Chief, you don’t have to worry about that. Mr. Bei Shu will send soone to teach us. Moreover, he also promised that his purchase price will be higher than the market price. Village Chief, think about it. How much money can we have left from planting food? However, if we change it to herbs, not only will the extra money be enough to buy food, but it will also be enough for the children’s tuition. As long as more children go to school, our village will beco better and better. Of course, if our village is unwilling, he will find another village to do this business,” Xu Qing continued.
“I’ll consider it carefully.” The village chief knew that this was a turning point for Anning Village. Once he missed it, Anning Village might be in decline forever.

“Actually, you can also plant half of the field with grains and half with herbs. This way, we can guarantee that we will have food to eat.” Xu Qing knew that the older generation would only feel at ease when they saw food. When they earned money in the future, they would definitely plant herbs.
“Alright, I’m relieved to hear that. Since Mr. Bei Shu takes such good care of our village, as the village chief, I will definitely give him a satisfactory explanation.” The village chief’s old face was filled with eagerness.
After Xu Qing finished speaking, she went back with Xun Fen in satisfaction. Halfway through, she saw a group of children running towards the village entrance with anxious expressions.
