Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

The old housekeeper of the Li Mansion was very capable and he quickly found out that someone was deliberately raising the price when purchasing medicinal materials.

The old butler came to ask Su Yunluo what to do next?

Su Yunluo: "Have you found out who the person is who tried to snatch the herbs from us?"

The old butler nodded and replied respectfully, "He is the county magistrate's advisor."

"It seems that the fish has been hooked." Su Yunluo showed a smile that everything was under control: "Continue to raise the price and compete with them for the medicinal materials."

"Yes." The old butler went down without saying a word.

The day after Su Yunluo and the others raised the price, the county magistrate's legal advisor disguised himself as a medicine dealer, bought the herbs from other medicine dealers, and sold them to the old housekeeper at a higher price.

In this way, Li Ermei and her friends made a lot of money easily.

They sold the herbs to Su Yunluo and his friends at a higher price. Meanwhile, Li Ermei and her friends, relying on the support of the county magistrate, continued to purchase herbs from other drug dealers at the price offered by Su Yunluo and his friends today.

Their idea was simple: as long as the wealthy businessmen from the capital could not get the medicinal materials, they would have to continue raising the price.

At that time, they will be able to sell them to wealthy businessmen from the capital at a higher price.

After all, they can make a lot of money just by earning the difference.

The price of medicinal materials changes every day, getting higher and higher.

In less than a month, the prices of medicinal materials have generally increased by eight to ten times compared to a month ago.

The prices of some of the most outrageous medicines have increased by dozens of times.

Eighty percent of the medicinal herbs that have seen the largest increase in price are grown in Sankeshuxia Village.

But now is not the season for maturity yet!

Traditional Chinese medicine is powerful, but it has extremely high requirements for Chinese medicinal materials.

For many medicinal materials, the efficacy and even the medicinal properties may be completely different depending on the time of harvesting.

But how could Li Ermei understand all this?

She only saw the immediate benefits, and Su Yunluo deliberately let the old housekeeper leak it out, saying that he would leave in the next two days. Because the number of medicinal materials here was too small and not enough for him to collect, he had to try his luck somewhere else.

When Li Ermei heard this, she thought, this is impossible!

Once it arrives in other provinces, the county magistrate can no longer reach out and has no way to control the price of medicinal materials!

By then, the wealthy businessmen in the capital will find that medicinal materials in other places are not that expensive, and they will no longer be able to come back to purchase the medicinal materials here!

In order to make enough money, Li Ermei hardened her heart and told the old housekeeper: "She still has a lot of medicinal herbs here, just give her a few days."

The old housekeeper pretended to be reluctant and agreed, saying that since they had cooperated with her for so long, they would wait for her for a few days.

Therefore, Li Ermei immediately gave an order and asked people to harvest all the medicinal herbs in Sankeshuxia Village that had not yet reached the season overnight.

Some of the villagers in Sankeshuxia Village fled far away, while others stayed and struggled to make a living under Li Ermei's rule.

When Su Yunluo was around, they lived a life of common prosperity.

There is meat every day and every meal is full.

But now, people work themselves to death every day, but can only eat two meals a day. One meal is either thin porridge that is so thin that chopsticks can't even stick into it, or steamed buns made of wild vegetables and cornmeal. Each person can only eat one small one, and an adult man can finish it in one bite.

When Su Yunluo was around, he managed to put a little weight on them.

Nowadays, there is no fat left. Everyone is so thin that they are just skin and bones, like paper men walking around.

But even so, when they received the order to harvest all the medicinal herbs that were not in season, they still protested collectively and refused to accept the order.

As a result, he was beaten by Li Ermei's men.

Knock down several of them directly, and if the fight continues, someone will die.

They had no choice but to do it.

"Mrs. Su once told us that the efficacy of herbs harvested before the season is right will be greatly reduced, and it is very likely that they will delay the treatment of others and even kill them. Alas, if we do this now, isn't it a violation of the will of heaven and earth?"

"But what can we do? They will really beat us to death."

"I heard that the reason they are so anxious to harvest the herbs is to sell them to a wealthy businessman in the capital at a high price. How about we secretly find someone to send a message to that wealthy businessman? Tell him not to accept these unripe herbs?"

"There are guards all around here, how can we get out?"

"Let's think of a way."

After the discussion, that night, the villagers of Three Trees Village selected a man, the fastest young man in the village, and sneaked out of the village under the cover of darkness.

The young man did not come back all night.

He didn't come back until dawn the next day.

Everyone was worried all night, and didn't know whether the matter would succeed or not. Finally, on the way to work, they found the young man hanging high on a big tree at the entrance of the village.

His whole body was covered in blood.

Especially the two legs, which were shaking strangely in the air, obviously they had been broken!

Seeing this, the villagers rushed forward and tried to rescue the person.

But Li Ermei personally led the group, stood below the young men, and shouted loudly: "If anyone dares to come up, I will immediately cut the rope and throw him to death! Then I will drive all of you who don't communicate out of the village and never allow you to come back!"

Some people did not leave and chose to stay, mostly because they were born and raised here, and they were attached to their homeland and did not want to leave.

Another reason is that they are waiting, waiting for the day when Su Yunluo will come back and lead them to a good life again.

They believed that Su Yunluo was the kind of person who would repay revenge when he had revenge, and repay favors when he had favors. He would definitely not suffer a loss at the hands of Li Ermei in vain and just walk away like that!

This is their spiritual pillar and the motivation for them to survive.

As for when Su Yunluo would come back, no one knew, and they dared not even think about it!

The villagers didn't dare to move forward and could only grit their teeth, clench their fists, and go to work despite their heartache.

They were like zombies, numbly harvesting herbs from the fields.

They even wondered if the wealthy businessman from Beijing was blind? Why would he cooperate with a woman like Li Ermei?

It is said that good is rewarded with good and evil is punished with evil, but what is the reality? It seems that the evil people are living better and better! It seems that retribution does not exist at all!

The agreed time will soon arrive.

The herbs were also harvested and dried as scheduled.

This time, Li Ermei was going to deal with the wealthy businessman in person. Before, it was always her lawyer who did it for her.

Thinking that after this transaction is completed, she will be able to earn ten years' worth of money in just one year, she feels excited just thinking about it.

In fact, she had already sold these medicinal herbs to other drug dealers, and they had all signed contracts. If they breached the contract, they would have to pay three times the penalty.

She was already prepared to breach the contract, because even after paying the penalty, she would still make seven or eight times the profit!

I am so smart!

Act decisively and take action when the time is right!

Only then can you make money that others can’t!

Just thinking about the scene of myself lying on a bed made of silver and counting silver after today, I feel so excited and thrilled!
