The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

Chapter 26 The resources in the back mountain are shared by everyone

The harvests have been poor in recent years and most villagers have been living a hard life. Now their families have to buy food from outside, and some people are beginning to feel jealous when they are seen buying such good cloth.

Wen Qingcheng put down her things in the kitchen and listened to the conversation outside. She understood about 70% of the situation.

Next, these people will start to go up the mountain to collect wood ear mushrooms. Fortunately, I didn't tell them yesterday that I was selling musk to make money, otherwise the musk deer on the mountain would have been killed by them.

"Mom, come in and have dinner." Wen Qingcheng called Ye Xiuying at the kitchen door, thinking of sending these people away quickly.

I didn't expect these people to pretend to be ignorant and insist on asking for clarification. One of the younger idlers stood at the door and said, "How much did you sell today? I saw your daughter and son-in-law bought a lot of things today."

Another older man also said: "It seems that they made a lot of money. The round trip fare is not small, plus they bought so many things. What family needs to buy food every day?"

"Haha, no way. We just moved here and have no land. We just cleared a small vegetable patch in front of the courtyard wall, and we haven't planted any vegetables yet. Even though our family buys food, we still tighten our belts to make ends meet." Ye Xiuying laughed dryly.

These people are really difficult to deal with. If they were those top guys from the Wen family, since they have already broken off relations with her, the worst that could happen is that they could just be driven away. However, although these people made her feel uncomfortable, they did not break off relations with her. They are neither soft nor hard and are the most difficult to deal with.

Seeing that Ye Xiuying couldn't get rid of them alone, Wen Qingcheng walked forward with a professional fake smile on her face: "Aunts and aunts, why are you so interested in our family? How much money do you have? How much food do you have stored?"

"Aunt Hu? Your family has three male workers, so you must have saved a lot of food in recent years. And Uncle Meng, you are a carpenter, so you must have made a lot of money. I really want to learn carpentry from you."

A few people laughed dryly and then stopped talking. Mrs. Hu, whose breasts drooped down to her belly, said, "What you said is wrong. We were just curious, but you asked about our family background."

"I understand what you mean. The rotten wood on this mountain is full of black fungus. You can go pick them. Whoever is diligent can eat them, and whoever has the ability can sell them for money."

Wen Qingcheng didn't want to talk to them any more and was about to close the door when the voice of Boss Wen came over: "Mother Zicheng, life is hard for everyone now. If you have any connections, help us get rich together. We are all neighbors, don't be so selfish."

At this time, a few more people came to watch the fun. One idle man continued what Boss Wen said, "What Boss Wen said makes sense. The mountain behind is shared by all of us in the village, and the things on the mountain also belong to all of us. If there is a way to make money, don't just think about yourself."

Ye Xiuying was stunned, wanting to refute but not knowing what to say, her face flushed red. Wen Qingcheng had a cold face, and his cold eyes swept over everyone.

"It turns out that everyone is jealous of us for making money."

Wen Qingcheng spoke out everyone's thoughts without any reservation. Everyone felt embarrassed for a moment and avoided making eye contact with Wen Qingcheng.

Wen Qingcheng added: "It has been so many years since wild fungus has appeared on the mountain. Why haven't we seen anyone picking them? Now that we find they are edible, why don't you let us pick them?"

Seeing that everyone was a little annoyed, Boss Wen stiffened his neck and said, "Just because you said that everyone is busy with farming and has no time to go, it doesn't mean that we won't go to pick them. Your family is buying them to eat every day, and we don't know how much we picked and how much we sold them for."

"How can it be sold for money..." Ye Xiuying explained anxiously. Wen Qingcheng grabbed her hand and pulled it back, giving her a look.

Since they came to my house, it seems that they have made an agreement and are well prepared. If I follow their words, I will fall into their trap.

"And the musk deer you picked up last time, I heard that it was from a pit dug by the hunter Zhang, and you picked it up. It doesn't matter if you picked it up, even your mother-in-law didn't give you a share of the meat."

As soon as Boss Wen said this, Ye Xiuying was immediately pushed to the forefront. Wen Zicheng was anxious: "My eldest sister killed the deer. It didn't fall into the pit at all."

"Are you saying that everything on the mountain belongs to all the villagers of Yueya Village?" Wen Qingcheng was not at all panicked and fixed his eyes on Boss Wen.

"Of course. We live by the mountain and by the water. The harvest is not good these years and everyone's life is difficult. We have to rely on this mountain to make a living." said Old Man Wen.

Then everyone agreed, and Wen Qingcheng smiled coldly: "That hunter Zhang is hunting in the mountains, why don't you go and ask him for meat."

Everyone thought: Hunter Zhang looks so scary, whoever dares to ask him for things would be asking for a beating.

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "They have been hunting for generations. They rely on their own skills and craftsmanship."

At this time, Zhang Sufen and Zhao Chunhua also squeezed through the crowd like flies smelling shit. Zhang Sufen's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and she gave Zhao Chunhua a look.

“Second sister-in-law, you made money from the things in the mountains but you didn’t share it with everyone. This is not how we should behave. Our Wen family has been in Yueya Village for generations and has always had a good reputation. Don’t let the neighbors poke holes in our family’s spine.” After saying this, Zhao Chunhua turned around and looked at everyone.

Ye Xiuying was so angry that she couldn't speak. She wanted to scold Zhao Chunhua, the troublemaker, but was afraid that her words would be too harsh. While she was thinking, she froze there, shaking with anger.

Wen Qingcheng's eyes moved, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she looked at Old Li who was driving a ox cart in the crowd.

"Uncle Li, I'll pay to hire your bullock cart. Let's call the head of the village and go to the county together."

Old Li felt a little embarrassed when being singled out by Wen Qingcheng. He knew that Ye Xiuying had money and had sold several pieces of cloth in the town, but the money belonged to others and he had not intended to take advantage of her. However, Zhang Sufen and his old wife said that if they did not go, they would not have a share after all the money was divided, so he followed to see for himself.

"Girl, why are you going to the county? Why are you calling him the head of the village? The head of the village is so busy. How can he do whatever we tell him to do?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Wen Qingcheng was up to. Ye Xiuying came close to Wen Qingcheng and tugged at her sleeve. Could it be that Qingcheng wanted to take them to the county and tell them that the money was earned from selling ginseng, and that she would give them a share of the ginseng she sold in the future?

Wen Qingcheng patted Ye Xiuying's hand and gave her a reassuring look. "And Uncle and Aunt Hu are also following. Many of the snake gallbladders used by Wangji Herbal Medicine Store in the county are obtained from our mountain. After so many years, we have a lot of money. Uncle, I will pay for the transportation, and you take our fellow villagers to go and ask them for an explanation."
