"Tell me, why don't you want to?" The county magistrate put down the teacup in his hand. He was not in the mood to drink tea at the moment. He just wanted to hear why they didn't accept it and what their reasons were.

At first, several villagers were too weak to even look at the officials above them, but when they were asked to sell their land and start over somewhere else, they straightened their backs.

Zhao Ganwei spoke before them, fearing that they would not speak well and anger the county magistrate:

"Sir, if the Fang family wants to buy land, there are plenty of good farms to choose from. Why do they have to snatch the land that we have been farming for generations?" He smiled and flattered, "Besides, if the people in our village really sell their land and go to other places to farm, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Everyone really doesn't want that. The land is still better in our own village."

The county magistrate thought Zhao Ganwei was a sensible person, but he didn't expect that this didn't make sense. He stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "Well, this is something you have to be willing to do. I can't force you. In this case, you can go back first!"

After leaving the government office, Zhao Ganwei still couldn't believe it. This? Is it all right now?

They were not embarrassed or reprimanded, and the county magistrate agreed to their decision not to sell the land so gently?

Several villagers who accompanied him also asked Zhao Ganwei curiously, "Village Chief, the official is really not arrogant at all! He is so easy to talk to!"

Zhao Ganwei also found it strange and confused. Finally, he waved his hands and said, "Let's go, let's go back and tell the villagers that we don't have to sell the land!"

When the villagers learned that they didn’t have to sell the land, they cheered with joy. Some said that next time they would ask the Fang family members who came to transport goods why they wanted to buy land from their village?

Zhong Ruyi also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if she didn't have to sell the land, and her orchard could be kept. Otherwise, she would not be able to move more than 500 apple trees back into the space overnight, and she couldn't explain the matter clearly.

In the government office, after the county magistrate and others left, his gentle expression immediately turned fierce, "Master."

"Sir." The lawyer stepped forward and waited for the county magistrate's instructions.

"Go to the Fang family and ask Mr. Fang to come over when he's free. I have something to tell him."

"Yes."

Mr. Fang was invited to the study to talk. He took the teacup brought by the county magistrate himself and asked with a smile, "Sir, what do you want me to do? Is there a solution to the matter I told you last time?"

The county magistrate did not say much, but just repeated what Zhao Ganwei had just said, "Their village is unwilling to sell the land, what do you think of this, Master Fang?"

He felt somewhat dissatisfied, thinking that as a county magistrate, he had to work for a merchant. If he didn't need anything from him, he would never do such a shameful thing!

Mr. Fang was a little confused, "You're not willing to give in to money?" Are they so unwilling to bow down for money?

The county magistrate shook his head, and the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Mr. Fang thought that he just hoped that all the melons from Xinghua Village would be sold to him in the future. Other merchants could buy them from other villages. Anyway, he had heard that other villages would also start growing water melons next year.

He thought he could give the villagers some money as compensation. After all, he knew that it was not fair to do business with only one company, but as a businessman, how could he have the nerve to do so? Money was more important.

He sighed, "Forget it, since they don't want to, I won't force them."

Maybe he could talk to Miss Zhong. The housekeeper said that Miss Zhong was easy to talk to. What if she agreed?

...

Zhong Ruyi was pulling out the growing dragon fruit vines at home. Yesterday, a snake emerged from it. Although it was a non-venomous snake, if a poisonous one happened to hide here one day, it would be terrible if you were bitten by it accidentally.

They raked them away one by one, and Tiedan also picked up the ones that fell on the ground.

Zhong Ruyi glanced at him and said, "Dandan, are you going back today?"

Tiedan sniffed, his face covered with traces of tears that had not yet dried. After thinking seriously, he remembered how hard Boss Zhong and Li Guihua had beaten him yesterday, and his body began to hurt again.

He looked at Zhong Ruyi pitifully while she was working, "Aunt, can Dandan not go home today and still sleep with you?"

"Of course you can." Zhong Ruyi had no objection, but the child had been too rebellious recently. "Then you have to promise your aunt that you will never go swimming in the river by yourself again. What if something happens?"

The last time, Chen Dongzhi happened to see it and rescued the person.

This time she had a sudden idea and took out all the clothes from last year to wash in the middle of the day. When she went to the river, she happened to see Tiedan and Xiao Huang, a dog, struggling in the middle of the river.

She was so scared that she dropped the basin in her hand, found a bamboo pole and pulled the man back, with Xiao Huang following behind him and swimming back together.

"What's wrong with you? Your uncle pulled you out once last time, and now you dare to go into the water?" Zhong Ruyi asked him with a stern face.

Tiedan touched the hair stuck on his face and said timidly, "...I, I'm just a little hot, and I wanted to come down and play for a while." As a result, the more he played, the farther he was from the shore. Xiao Huang, who came with him, tried to pick him up, but the dog was only one year old and did not have enough strength, so the man and the dog had to splash in the water together.

This time, she did not just tell Zhong's mother as she did before, but took advantage of the workshop holiday when her eldest brother and sister-in-law were at home to complain.

When Boss Zhong heard that Tiedan ran to the river to play and even went into the water, he became furious. He found a stick and started beating him, asking him if he would dare to do it again next time.

Tiedan was beaten so badly that he could only open his mouth and cry. How could he answer his questions?

Boss Zhong, who was already angry, beat him even harder when he saw that he didn't answer his question.

Li Guihua watched coldly, and when her husband's stick broke, she handed him a bamboo stick and joined in. The two of them started a mixed fight between men and women.

In the end, Zhong Ruyi, the person who made the complaint, could no longer bear it and left with Tiedan.

That night Tiedan cried and refused to go home, and still slept with her.

"Your uncle is not here, otherwise you would have to squeeze between the two of us." Zhong Ruyi chattered as she made the bed. Perhaps because she was frightened last night, Tiedan wet the bed for the first time in a long time. Now she could only change the sheets and quilt.

The Chen Dongzhi she was talking about was now counting the quantity with Dafeng and others with the people in the pharmacy.

When he saw that there was only half of the Gastrodia elata on the list, he went to the owner of the pharmacy and said, "Excuse me, the amount of Gastrodia elata I got is half of what you gave me."

The shopkeeper took the order and looked at it carefully before smiling and saying, "Little brother, I'm really sorry. We didn't harvest much Gastrodia elata this month, so we can't give you the quantity you want. I'm really sorry."

Chen Dongzhi frowned slightly. Before he set off, Madam Yu told him that the herbs and quantities on the list had been checked with the pharmacy in advance, and all those written on the list were in stock.

Forget it, maybe he really didn’t give it to me because he didn’t have any more.

But when he continued to check, he found that not only Gastrodia elata, but several other herbs were also only given half or none at all.

"Why is there no bezoar?" he asked, pointing at the list.

Madam Yu had specifically instructed that it didn't matter if there was more or less of the other things, but the bezoar was necessary, and their pharmacy had just run out of it. Now there was one ingredient that they couldn't make the pills for, so they could only wait.

After much difficulty, he found out that this newly opened herbal medicine shop in Wuzhou had a large amount of bezoar, so he hurriedly asked them to come over.

Da Feng on the other side also came over with a frown, "Brother Chen, there is no yellow gelatin and Eucommia ulmoides on it."

The owner of the drugstore just smiled when he heard what they said and said that they were out of stock and had to wait until next time.
