Chapter 231: Fertilizer
Bai Zhi said: “Actually it’s not a trick. I just used a fertilizer that helped it grow faster. It’s just this fertilizer is very hard to get. I don’t have any extra. Otherwise, I can give everyone a sample.”
The people around were all farmers. So, when they heard that there was such a wonderful fertilizer, they wanted to know it. Who doesn’t want to have a full harvest in just a month? If they can harvest a few times in a year, won’t they live a good life?
Everyone begged Bai Zhi to tell them what kind of fertilizer it was.
Mrs. Liu and Old Lady Bai, who was surrounded by the crowd said to Bai Zhi and everyone around them: “You are really funny. This is the secret fertilizer of our family. If you tell them, can you still call it a secret? If you all want to know what is this fertilizer, you should give us money. 1 silver coin per person.” Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu said and unscrupulously extended their hands.
“Hey, old lady, you just said a bit earlier that the mother and daughter separated from your family, so they no longer have any connection with you. But now, you still have a face to say it’s your family’s secret?” The person who talked was Mrs. Yingzhi. Last time, Bai Zhi saved her daughter. She had always remembered it inside her heart. She originally planned to help them. But later on, the mother and daughter’s life was getting better and better, she had nothing more to offer. And now, it’s just happened that she could no longer take to see this old lady and Mrs. Liu’s face.
Mrs. Liu sneered and said to Mrs. Yingzhi: “You fart, thi sis our Bai Family’s business, what does it have to do with you? In a word, if you also want to know this secret fertilizer, you should give us money first. Give us 1 silver coin.”
Zhao Lan, who had been squatting and washing the melons on the river side, could also no longer stand it anymore. She stood up and yelled at Mrs. Liu: “Liu Guihua, do you still have any shame? Why are you telling us not to say the fertilizer if people will not pay? Even if the people need to pay, when did it become your turn to collect the money? Who do you think you are?”
Mrs. Liu laughed and said: “Hey, look how anxious you are, am I not helping you? There are so many people, how can you collect the money alone? Can’t you tell who are the people with a good heart?”
“A good heart?” Not only Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi laughed, but also the villagers around.
It seems to be the best joke they have ever heard in their life.
Old Lady Bai was anrgy: “What are you laughing at? Don’t forget, Zhao Lan is our Bai Sanzhu’s wife. Bai Zhi is our Bai Sanzhu’s daughter. These are indisputable facts than can never be changed.”
Bai Zhi replied: “What about it? My father is gone because of your cruel and selfish heart. You didn’t give birth to my niang, so she has no connection to you. I and my niang has nothing to do with you anymore.”
“That’s right, they simply have no shame. When they see an opportunity to get profit, they rushed immediately. If the mother and daughter are still suffering, will they also rush like this?”
“How is it possible? In their eyes, I’m afraid that the mother and daughter don’t even exist at all.”
The villager’s opinion came one after another. Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu have a thick face, but their face reddened.
Old Lady Bai opened her mouth and said: “We only have good intention. Why are you all badmouthing us?”
Bai Zhi no longer pay attention to the old lady, she turned around and faced the villagers: “Good Uncles and Aunts, it’s not that I’m unwilling to tell you the fertilizer, it’s just this fertilizer grow in a very dangerous place. We went up all the way to the mountain just to get it.”
