124 Chapter 124 Celebration_1
Lindsey Wolfe's face suddenly flushed red, and she hurriedly ran over to grab it, exclaiming angrily, "Why do you have this?"
Greg Jensen quickly explained, "Ah, that's not my fault, you were the one who threw it out."
"Oh my, I'm so embarrassed!"
Lindsey Wolfe, blushing furiously, stamped her foot and, clutching that wad of whatever it was, ran out quickly.
"So... did I pass the test?"
Greg Jensen let out a long sigh and sat back down on the bed.
Rembering that the wad had just been by his side, he couldn't help but lift it to his nose and sniff it.
A faint scent entered his nostrils.
His body stirred once more.
He quickly channeled the True Qi within his body, letting it flow through his ridians in a cycle to calm his mind a bit.
"Let's go check on the dicinal fields first."
Greg Jensen knew it wasn't the right ti to see Lindsey Wolfe, and thus, he got up and headed out the door toward the dicinal fields contracted to Old Liu.
Old Liu seed to have known he was coming and was already waiting at the edge of the fields.
Seeing Greg Jensen arrive, he hurriedly ca forward to greet him.
"Mr. Jensen..."
Old Liu greeted him with a smile, and then explained, "Don't worry, I gave the workers in the dicinal fields half a day off just now."
"Hmm, let's go inside and take a look."
Around the periter of the dicinal fields, a wire fence had been erected primarily to prevent wild animals and poultry from causing damage. With such a large expanse of dicinal fields, the wire fence also facilitated managent.
The fifty or sixty acres of dicinal fields contained several kinds of herbs that were now fully matured and ready for harvesting before being transported to Chestor Ware's company.
The two parties had already signed a procurent contract, and the deal was virtually risk-free for Greg Jensen.
"The technician said it's ti to harvest. The villagers are all busy with the autumn harvest these days, and once they are finished, I'll organize a picking crew."
"Hmm, good job," Greg Jensen nodded and said, "Hurry with the harvesting to avoid the rain. If the herbs rot in the fields, it would cause trouble."
An excited Old Liu, pleased with the praise, quickly replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Jensen, I'll get so people over to start harvesting tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Greg Jensen pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his chest, poured out eight antidote pills, and handed them over.
Seeing him pull out so many antidotes at once, Old Liu's eyes imdiately lit up, but then he hesitated.
Looking up at Greg Jensen, he said, "Mr. Jensen, thank you for your trust, but isn't this a bit too much for to take all at once?"
"It's not too much. I might be in the county for the entire next month and won't have ti to deliver more antidotes to you."
"Err, how about I co to the county and help you out?"
Greg Jensen glanced at him with a sneer and said, "You sure know how to climb up the ladder!"
Old Liu said with a flattering laugh, "Hehe, just following Mr. Jensen's footsteps. You eat the at, and I'll be fine with just the soup."
"Enough with your little sches. I'll call you over when I need you," Greg Jensen said.
"Alright then, I'll wait for your ssage."
Old Liu, thrilled, pocketed the antidotes and then took Greg Jensen on a round through the dicinal fields.
After the tour, Greg Jensen found that Old Liu had taken very good care of the herbs; not a single leaf showed signs of insect damage.
He offered Old Liu words of encouragent before heading towards the vegetable fields.
Along the way, many villagers greeted him, and Greg Jensen responded with a smile.
Noticing sothing was amiss, two villagers asked him about it, and he simply told them that he had beco smarter and was no longer the fool he once was.
At the sa ti as they were surprised, the two villagers began spreading the news.
In less than half an hour, the news had spread throughout the entire Peach Blossom Village.
By the ti noon arrived for lunch, even the second uncle, who was watching the store in town, had heard the news and closed up shop to rush back ho.
"Greg, are you really not silly anymore?"
15:15
The second uncle was still sowhat incredulous, sizing up Greg from head to toe as if trying to see what exactly had changed about him.
Greg's heart was filled with warmth, and he smiled, "Second uncle, rest assured, I'm really not silly anymore."
"Hahaha, that's fantastic, our Jensen Family's ancestors have manifested their power and finally cured your illness."
The second uncle was so moved that he wept with joy.
Greg was the only college graduate in the Jensen Family and Peach Blossom Village. After he beca silly, those villagers who didn't know the inside story said that the Jensen Family had done sothing wrong.
Therefore, the ancestors must have been punishing them by turning the only hope of the Jensen Family into a silly boy.
Today, Greg had finally returned to normal, and the second uncle was close to crying with joy.
"Co with , let's go offer incense to our ancestors!"
"Alright."
Greg, feeling resigned, followed the second uncle to the Jensen Family ancestral hall.
After offering three sticks of incense with utmost sincerity, the second uncle mumbled a prayer in front of the ancestral tablets. Then, with a grand wave of his hand, he laughed and said, "Let's go, back ho to celebrate!"
When the second uncle spoke of celebration, it ant a real celebration. All the Jensen Family mbers were called over.
Those with money contributed funds, and those with strength lent a hand, setting up no less than seven or eight tables, filling both the inside and outside of the courtyard, all to celebrate Greg's return to normalcy.
Greg, moved to tears, raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for taking care of during this ti. I, Greg Jensen, promise to lead everyone to wealth and prosperity."
After speaking, he drained his glass in one go.
"Good!"
All the Jensens shouted in approval, their faces beaming with joy as they raised their glasses and took a drink as well.
They were happy to see Greg back to normal, but as for him leading them to riches, they just listened without much expectation.
After all, Greg had just recovered, and even the Jensen Family's house was built with the money earned by Lindsey Wolfe.
Greg, sensitive in thought, noticed what everyone was thinking, but he didn't point it out.
To him, whether they believed it or not wasn't important; what mattered was that everyone could live a good life.
"Freya, why don't you say a few words?" the second uncle smiled.
Lindsey Wolfe was still sowhat embarrassed and didn't dare to face Greg. Upon hearing the second uncle's words, she was startled at first and then realized what he ant.
She smiled shyly and said, "What can I, a re woman of the household, have to say?"
"Hey, that's not like you at all!"
"Right, our Jensen Family has no such rule; just speak your mind. Everyone is waiting to hear."
The crowd chuckled and encouraged her, with Greg also giving her an encouraging look.
Seeing this, Lindsey Wolfe stood up, and not knowing what to say, it took her a while before she said, "Well... I also promise everyone that I will make sure we all live a good life."
"Haha, your promise sounds quite like what Greg said. Why don't you two just get together? After all, you have the sa goal."
"Yes, yes, that's settled then!"
"Hahahaha..."
Soone started the teasing, and others followed suit, causing Lindsey Wolfe to blush deeply and feel a bit at a loss.
Greg was the only college graduate in the village, while she was just a rural woman and also a widow with a child in tow.
If Greg were still the silly Greg, Lindsey Wolfe wouldn't have thought much of it.
But now, she truly felt she was not worthy of him.
As everyone joined in the teasing, Lindsey Wolfe, without thinking, blurted out, "Stop it, you guys. He is a college graduate; how could he take a liking to ?"
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone exchanged glances, realizing the problem at hand.
They also felt that now Lindsey Wolfe no longer matched the current Greg Jensen.
