God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

The news of Lu Tingyan's family buying someone became the focus of the village. Seeing that the workshop had only been built for a few days, they bought someone, which showed that they made a lot of money. Seeing this, Wang was jealous and decided to incite the villagers to talk about Lu Tingyan's family.

The next day, Wang was chatting with a few women under a big tree in the village. She deliberately mentioned the matter of Lu Tingyan's family buying servants and said, "Have you heard about it? That cheap girl Lu Tingyan bought a lot of servants yesterday. She is really rich!"

A woman agreed, "Yes, I heard about it too. Their workshop has only been open for a short time, but they have made so much money. It's really enviable!"

Wang took the opportunity to say, "Humph, what's there to envy? The money they make comes from us villagers!"

The other women asked in surprise, "What do you mean? How did their family make money from us?"

Wang pretended to be mysterious and said, "Don't you know? Their workshop employs people from our village, but the wages they pay are very low. Moreover, they have bought all the land in our village, saying that they want to expand the workshop. In the future, we will have no land to farm!"

The women all looked worried when they heard this. One of them said, "What should we do? How are we going to make a living?"

Wang saw that everyone was convinced by her, and she couldn't help but feel proud. She continued passionately: "We can't let his family succeed so easily! We must seek justice and ask them to increase their wages and return the land!"

Mrs. Tan responded angrily, "Wang, why do you always make trouble whenever Yan's family has something good going on? They have run an embroidery workshop for a long time, and they also have a sweet potato vermicelli workshop and Huiweizhai. You have no ability, but you are jealous of others and make trouble all day long."

Wang retorted nonchalantly, "Humph, your family makes so much money, of course you will stand on the side of that damn girl."

Mrs. Tan was so angry that she was speechless. She could only point at Wang with a trembling finger, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence: "You...you..."

The other women nodded in agreement with what Wang said. Then, Wang led a few women and marched towards Lu Tingyan's house aggressively.

At this time, Lu Tingyan was discussing workshop affairs with her brother at home when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. She was puzzled and decided to go out to see what was going on.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Tingyan looked at the group of people in front of her with bad intentions and asked calmly.

Wang pointed at Lu Tingyan and said, "How dare you ask us what we are doing! Your family has made so much money, but you don't give us a raise, and you even bought our land. What do you think we should do?"

After hearing this, Lu Tingyan understood what was going on. She said calmly, "Our family pays higher wages than those in town, not lower. Moreover, we bought the land through formal procedures and gave a reasonable price. You can't be so unreasonable."

Wang insisted, "What do you mean by higher than the town? Your family pays less than other families! Also, when you bought the land, you bought it from the head of the village and didn't discuss it with us at all. This is forced buying and selling!"

The other women also echoed, "That's right! Your family is too bullying!"

Seeing that they were being unreasonable, Lu Tingyan was a little angry. She said, "Our family has always been fair and just in doing business, and has never bullied anyone. Don't listen to other people's provocations, and have your own judgment."

Wang sneered, "Humph, who instigated it? We saw it with our own eyes! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money!"

Lu Tingyan said: "I didn't do whatever I wanted. I was just doing what I should do. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can solve it through the government instead of making trouble here."

Wang said, "What legitimate means? We just want to seek justice here! Your family must increase our wages and return the land to us!"

Lu Tingyan said: "Okay, since you say so, let's go to the village head to seek justice."

When Wang heard that they had to find the village head, she felt a little uneasy. She knew that the village head was a fair person and would not be biased towards her. However, she was unwilling to give up, so she said, "Let's find the village head! We are not afraid!"

So Lu Tingyan and Wang and others went to find the village head. After listening to the statements of both parties, the village head understood what happened. He said to Wang: "Wang, don't talk nonsense here. The wages given by Yan girl are reasonable and higher than the wages in the town. If you don't believe it, go to the town to ask. If you continue to make trouble like this, I will ask the government to deal with this matter."

Wang said, "Village head, how can you favor them? They make so much money, you should give us a raise!"

Li said: "The money they earn is also earned through their own hard work and wisdom. They have no obligation to increase your wages. If you think the wages are too low, you can go work somewhere else."

The other women were a little hesitant after hearing this. They knew what the village chief said made sense, but they were unwilling to give up.

Wang was furious when she saw that the head of the village was not on her side. She widened her eyes, glared at him, and said in a suspicious tone, "Head of the village, I didn't expect you to be so tactful and speak for Lu Tingyan's family! Humph, to put it bluntly, did you receive any benefits from their family? Otherwise, why would you be so biased towards them!"

When the village head heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy, and his voice became stern. He looked at Wang and said righteously, "Wang, stop talking nonsense! As the village head, I always act in a fair and just manner, and I will never favor any party just because of a favor! Everything I do is for the benefit of the entire village, and I will never allow people like you who stir up trouble to destroy the harmony and peace of the village!"

Wang was frightened by the head of the village. She knew that what she said just now was a bit excessive, but she didn't know how to refute it. She could only shut her mouth in dismay and said nothing more. The other women who had originally agreed with Wang also lowered their heads at this moment, fearing that they would anger the head of the village.

At this time, the head of the village said to Lu Tingyan: "Girl Yan, don't take these trivial matters to heart. They are just women with long hair and short knowledge. Just concentrate on running your workshop, continue to contribute to the development of our village, and lead everyone on the road to prosperity."

Lu Tingyan nodded gratefully and replied, "Thank you for your trust and encouragement, Grandpa Lizheng. I will definitely work harder!"

The head of the village then turned to look at Wang and the others, and warned them: "You guys had better stop making trouble and provoking disturbances! If there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless and ungrateful. I will directly expel you from the village to prevent you from making trouble all day long and disturbing the village!" After saying that, he turned away.

Wang and the others were shocked when they heard this. They knew that Li Zheng was a man of his word, so they dared not act presumptuously again.

So, the storm subsided. Lu Tingyan returned home and continued to run her workshop. She knew that if she wanted to make the village better, she would have to face various difficulties and challenges. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to overcome all difficulties and realize her dream.
