He Chengjing did not hide anything and told Song Zhili everything about how he had asked Qingfeng to protect her the day before.

When Song Zhili heard He Chengjing say that he had Qingfeng break Sun Jiande's legs, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Good heavens, they were all planning to let him go yesterday, but in the end he still couldn't escape the fate of having his legs broken.

Seeing Song Zhili's expression, He Chengjing thought she was afraid of being implicated.

"You don't need to be afraid, it won't involve you. Qingfeng was masked when he hit his leg, and he was still conscious."

When Song Zhili heard that Sun Jiande was conscious, she reached out and gave He Chengjing a thumbs up, saying, "You're really great."

Hearing Song Zhili's praise, He Chengjing felt a little smug, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“He Chengjing, I can heal this scar on your face. If you ever want to remove it, just come to me.”

When Song Zhili saw the scar on his face, she felt it was a bit of an eyesore, preventing her from appreciating the handsome man.

Even with this scar on his face, He Chengjing's handsomeness is still undeniable. She can hardly imagine how handsome he would be if the scar were removed.

"I don't need it for now. I'll contact you again when I need it, thank you."

Hearing this, Song Zhili nodded. "Alright, come find me again if you need anything. I won't stay any longer. I'll head back now."

She originally brought Song Ziming to He Chengjing's place, but now that Song Ziming has left with Qingfeng, she won't stay here any longer.

"Okay, by the way, don't forget to keep sending me the food you make. Qingfeng is with me now, so there'll be one more person here."

He Chengjing didn't stand on ceremony with Song Zhili and made his own demands.

"Okay, I know."

Song Zhili responded and got up to leave He Chengjing's house. Instead of going straight home, he went to the field to take a look at the chili peppers planted there. The chili peppers had already sprouted and grown leaves, and were growing very well. He estimated that in another month or two, the chili peppers should be able to bear fruit.

She watered the chili peppers and continued walking home. On her way, she passed by the village chief's field and saw Song Feng and the village chief standing there, looking at something. Curious, she walked up to them and greeted them from behind.

"Grandpa Village Chief, Brother Song, what are you looking at?"

Hearing the voice behind them, the two turned around and saw that it was Song Zhili. The village chief spoke first with a worried expression, "Da Ya, it's you. Look, we've almost finished digging our fishpond. But you've taken almost all the fish from the nearby stream. What are we going to do without fish now that our fishpond is empty?"

Song Zhili also glanced at their fishpond. The fishpond had indeed been dug and filled with water, but there were only a handful of fish in it.

Song Zhili frowned and thought for a moment, "Grandpa Village Chief, how about this, you come with me to our fishpond later to catch some fish to raise for now, and I'll pay you one coin per fish for now, and we can raise them slowly after they have fry."

Hearing Song Zhili's words, Song Feng and the village chief both smiled. "Hey, thank you so much, Daya. I'll have Xiaofeng catch some fish from your fishpond in a bit."

"Okay, by the way, Grandpa Village Chief, come with me to our field."

The village chief didn't know why Song Zhili asked him to go to her land, but since Song Zhili had said so, he had no choice but to go along.

Song Zhili led the village chief to the field where she planted chili peppers. Then, pointing to the chili peppers in the field, Song Zhili spoke earnestly to the village chief.

“Village chief, look, what we’re growing in this field is called chili pepper. I have quite a few seeds here. Why don’t you gather everyone in the village and ask them if they want to plant some too? If the chili peppers are successfully grown, I will buy them all with copper coins.”

Song Zhili thought that since her family was the only ones growing these chilies, the yield wasn't much, and if they needed a lot, they probably wouldn't be able to supply enough.

If the whole village could plant together, the yield would also increase, and they could earn some copper coins to supplement their household income.

When the village chief heard Song Zhili's words, his eyes lit up. "Da Ya, is what you're saying true? But how are you going to accept it?"

The village chief thought the suggestion was excellent, but he needed to clarify everything first so he could explain if the villagers asked later.

Song Zhili hadn't considered this, since the chili peppers hadn't been grown yet, and she hadn't discussed prices with Manager Xu and the others.

But in her mind, the price couldn't be lower than ten coins per pound, and the chilies would be even lighter after they were dried.

They can also make their own chili sauce, or use the chili to pickle radish, which would be great with porridge in the morning.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I haven't decided on the exact price yet, but it can't be less than five copper coins per pound, right?"

Hearing that this thing could sell for five coins a pound, the village chief was shocked. What was this thing called chili pepper? It could sell for such a high price. Wouldn't everyone grow it and earn some copper coins in the future?

This is a good thing for their village.

Thinking of this, the village chief smiled and said to Song Zhili, "Alright, I'll go and inform everyone in a bit. Da Ya, do you have enough seeds over there?"

"Grandpa Village Chief, I have enough seeds, but I have one more condition: if you want to plant these chili peppers, everyone must spend copper coins to buy my chili pepper seeds, instead of giving them away for free."

I sell a bag of seeds for ten coins. Those who want to buy can come and buy; those who don't, I won't force.

After talking to Xia Momo on the phone that day, she asked Xia Momo to buy more chili seeds and put them in her space. Xia Momo bought 10,000 bags.

She has as many chili seeds as she wants, but she doesn't want to give them away for free. She also said that she would buy them once they are grown, and they can keep the seeds to continue growing them.

This is definitely a profitable deal; it all depends on their own willingness.

Hearing her words, the village chief nodded in agreement. "Da Ya, it's only right that you collect the money. Alright, I'll go and inform them now. If anyone wants to buy, I'll have them come to your house, okay?"

The village chief didn't think there was anything wrong with her accepting money; he was eager to tell the villagers about it.

Seeing that the village chief was so eager to inform them about this, Song Zhili nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare the chili seeds."
