Many areas in Wonju were affected by the disaster.

Fortunately, relief came in time, and with the construction materials sent by wealthy businessmen, the victims cheered up and rebuilt their homes.

The wounds are gradually replaced by vitality, and the sadness is slowly driven away.

Some were delighted, while others sneered.

In a private room on the third floor of Fu Yue Restaurant, several well-dressed men were drinking and chatting.

"The Jin family held a banquet a few days ago and invited the Guo, Ye, Gan, and Yang families over. I don't know what they talked about, but it seems like they are planning something big."

"Those families have always followed the lead of the Jin family, like lapdogs. A group of people spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just to buy a good reputation. Tsk."

"I heard that the Jin family spent almost all of their wealth this time. Do you think the Jin family is crazy? Money aside, Mr. Jin is not the kind of person who would make mistakes... Is there something behind this that we don't know about?"

"What's the inside story? It's just that the Jin family is confident and relies on the Hundred Aspects Tea to turn things around. Otherwise, how dare they be so generous and spend hundreds of thousands of taels to waste? Anyway, my Wang family can't follow them."

When the topic of Baixiang Tea was brought up, a middle-aged man with a big belly slammed the table in anger. "I don't know what kind of tricks the Jin family has fed to those people in Yuxi Village. I sent people to collect Baixiang Grass and raised the price again and again. Even at 100 coins per pound, those fools still refused to sell!"

When the other people at the table heard this, subtle emotions flashed in their eyes.

Who here has not tried to grab the Hundred Herbs?

Not to mention one hundred cents, some of them even offered one hundred and fifty cents.

As long as they can get the Hundred Xiang Grass, no matter how high the price is, they are confident that they can make ten or a hundred times the profit.

But the people in Yuxi Village just wouldn’t listen!

I don't know what those mountain folks ate to grow up. They are so stupid and ignorant that they don't even like money. They are so stubborn!

"The Jin family paid out so much money. It can be said that the entire Jin family is now a paper tiger that will fall down with a single poke."

The man surnamed Wang sneered, "The price of the Baixiang Tea they have is not expensive, even ordinary people can afford it, and it is sold in limited quantities, so the maximum profit is 10,000 taels a year. It will take at least decades to make up the money with Baixiang Tea! Without sufficient silver support, the Jin family's other businesses will face difficulties in turnover at any time."

Then he looked around and laughed quietly, his laughter was cold, "The Jin family is no longer qualified to take the lead. The position of the Chamber of Commerce President should be replaced by someone else. As for the profitable businesses of the Jin family, those of you who have ideas should act as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the Jin family recovers."

"But Lord Cui seems to think highly of the Jin family..."

"Lord Cui is interested in the Jin family because they are at the top. When the Jin family falls to the bottom, will Lord Cui still look at them? Brother Ruan, what do you think?"

Ruan Chengye's eyes flickered, and he spoke cryptically, "I am just a nobody in front of you, how can I have the foresight you have? However, the delicious pancakes are placed there, and some people can't eat any more. You can't stop them from eating, right?"

When everyone exchanged glances, they understood each other.

Who wouldn’t want to take a bite of the Jin family’s fat piece of meat?

The business world is ruthless. If you want to blame someone, blame the Jin family for being stupid and damaging their own family foundation to save the disaster!

What conscience do businessmen have? Can a good reputation bring great wealth?

They brought this upon themselves!

……

There is a lot of work to be done after the disaster.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the green skirt of Shennv Mountain turned yellow.

In the medicinal fields of Yushui River, it is time to pick the herb once a month, and there is no impact at all.

The old doctor came to Yuxi Village in person to collect medicinal herbs.

Standing in the Lin family's medicinal garden, the old doctor stroked his beard and looked at the lush green, sighing frequently.

"It's really amazing, it's really amazing. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to harvest the Hundred-phase Herb for several months, but I didn't expect it to be such a relief!"

Lin Jiang carefully put the handful of herbs he had picked into the backpack and asked with a smile, "What's the matter that has made you so anxious, Mr. Fang?"

"Many people have caught a cold. Most of them have been coming to my pharmacy recently because they have been suffering from a long-term cough due to a cold. The common prescriptions don't work very well. Only the prescriptions made with Hundred-scented Grass work the fastest and best. Hundred-scented Grass is about to run out, so don't worry about it."

"Then you can rest assured. The Hundred-Angled Grass will not be flooded and will be in short supply."

"That's right. I feel relieved now, hahaha!"

There was laughter everywhere in the fields.

The same scene is also seen along the Yu Shui River.

People of all ages from every family joined in the work, working in their own medicinal gardens, picking licorice and filling basket after basket.

The Jin family also came on time to collect herbs that day. Old Master Jin and Jin Qianlai and his son came together.

After leaving the task of weighing and settling the accounts to the servant Lai Fu, the father and son went to the Lin family's yard to sit and drink tea.

But today, both of them seemed a little absent-minded. From time to time, they would inexplicably stick their heads out and glance in the direction of the Yan family from afar.

Old Man Lin was lying on a recliner entertaining guests. Seeing this, he was puzzled and asked, "Do you have anything to ask the Yan family? If so, you can go to their house. The Yan family rarely goes out, so there will be someone at home at this time."

"No, no, no!" The Jin family's father and son immediately shook their heads like rattles. "We don't have anything to do. We just want to take a look. The Yan family's yard is spacious and beautiful. We want to build a yard similar to that one - a smaller one."

Come to my house? You must be kidding!

How dare they disturb the nobleman? What kind of family background do they have? They know themselves!

To be able to obtain that promise, the Jin family is already blessed by heaven!

Moreover, the father and son knew very well that they could get such an opportunity because, firstly, they had benefited from the Lin family, and secondly, their family was sincere in doing business with Yuxi Village and did not resort to any shady means. This "character" caught the man's eye.

Then they must be more careful to restrain themselves and maintain their current original intentions and virtues, otherwise, that person may remove them from his sight at any time.

"Do you also want to build a second courtyard?" Old Man Lin asked casually when he heard that the Jin family was going to build a house.

Jin Qianlai nodded and smiled, "Yes, to be honest with Uncle Lin, our family has actually bought a piece of land in Yuxi Village and plans to build a house here. In the future, the elders and children in our family will come here to stay from time to time, so they will inevitably come to disturb us often."

Mr. Jin specifically added, “Build one that’s smaller than Yan’s!”

It must be smaller!

Don’t dare to be big!

Old man Lin smiled, his eyes wrinkled with laughter, "The Yan family's house was built by the men in the village. They have experience and their skills are good. If you want to build a house, you can ask the villagers to do the work."

"That's exactly what I meant! Uncle Lin, given the friendship between our two families, I must trouble your family with this matter."

"What do you mean by trouble or not? You are so rude. As long as there is work to do, our villagers will thank you!"

The father and son of the Jin family looked at each other, with joy in their eyes.

The house must be built as soon as possible.

When the time comes and I live in the village, I will be considered a part of Yuxi Village.

The man from the Yan family is quite caring towards the villagers. Well, if the Jin family can get some more help, from now on, when they stand outside and say "I live in Yuxi Village", people who block the road will automatically take a detour.

It's not just a fantasy. The two members of the Jin family are determined that there will be such a day in the future.
