Chapter 238 Harvesting Grain

Although the elder Ma suggested 10%, Grandpa Hu felt that the price was too low and the villagers might have objections.

Finally, Village Chief Hu and the others discussed the matter and decided that the villagers would sell their grain to Old Wang's family, but they would only collect a 30% deposit upfront. After Wang Chuanman sold the grain, they would make up the remaining 70%.

If anything goes wrong in the middle, they will not hold the Wang family responsible; they will only need to make up the difference later.

The villagers never imagined that the Wang family would deceive them. Having lived with the Wang family for 17 years, they knew each other's character inside and out.

There is no such thing as paying lip service while acting against it.

If the Wang family really cheated them and wanted to pocket the rest of the money, then they should just consider it a mistake and naturally have no further dealings with them.

However, they didn't think of the outcome in that direction.

If the Wang family were truly that kind of people, they would never have rented the land to them, never charged such a low rent, let alone provided them with such good grain seeds.

The Wang family was overjoyed to learn that the villagers were willing to let them pay a 30% deposit upfront.

"Putting everything else aside, the atmosphere in our village is really good!" Wang Chuangui's eyes were full of emotion. He had been working at the steamed bun shop for a long time and had seen all kinds of people: cunning, vicious, and greedy.

Grandma Wang glanced at him and said, "Put yourself in others' shoes and have a clear conscience. Do you really think your father and I have been taken advantage of for the past ten years?"

The reason why the Wang family is so poor is not only because they have a large population, but also because Old Mrs. Wang, intentionally or unintentionally, gave all the family's money to the villagers.

We don't need to keep too many for ourselves; just make sure these kids don't die.

They were outsiders back then, and even if they really accomplished something great, the villagers might not necessarily be grateful to them.

Conversely, if they are always gentle and kind, they will surely be treated well.

What kind of unearned simplicity exists in this world?

It was simply a matter of laying the groundwork and things falling into place naturally.

Old Mrs. Wang was too lazy to say these things to those blockheads; it would be pointless to say them anyway.

Only Xiao Ayu was secretly happy. She knew that the villagers were all kind, because during the harvest, Xiao Ayu went from house to house and gave each person a little bit of the sacred water.

Even though the "miracle water" was only mixed with a little bit of cooled boiled water, it still made the villagers have a lot of diarrhea, and afterwards everyone felt even more refreshed.

No one fell.

This confirms what the elf told Xiao Ayu before: evil people cannot drink the Elixir of All Souls. If they have great evil intentions, the Elixir of All Souls may very well kill them.

Previously, the Youlong Clan wanted to harm them, so Xiao Ayu planned to give them the Wanling Water to drink.

Those bad uncles are so mean; they'll definitely get sick if they drink the water.

However, they were interrupted by Red Hare and his men.

It took two days for the villagers to sort out what they needed to eat, what they wanted to keep for seeds, and a small portion to give away.

Two thousand shi of grain were collected.

There are some rice, barley, wheat, soybeans, mung beans, peas, and broad beans.

Some were harvested some time ago, while others have only recently matured.

After more than a month of busy farming season, various grains were harvested one after another, and the quantity was quite considerable.

One shi of grain weighs about 120 jin, and a donkey cart can carry 5 shi.

There are only seven donkey carts in the entire Hujia Village now, which can only carry thirty-five shi (a unit of dry measure).

If you want to transport more, you have to buy more.

"Let's buy three more donkey carts, making a total of ten. We can store the rest of the grain for now and sell it when we come back after this trip. We don't need to get rich overnight." Wang Chuanman had already started thinking about this when the grain harvest began.
