Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If Jiang Yue hadn’t gone to Xua Yan’s house after breakfast, Xua Yan’s family would probably have picked some vegetable seeds and been waiting for them too.

Although the people waiting were annoyed and many of them were complaining, there were also some who joked and laughed from time to time.

Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could reach Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu, they saw their eldest cousin Xua Yan helping the village chief to stand on the big rock at the village entrance.

Chief Lu’s hand had already recovered and was no longer tied with cloth.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The moment Chief Lu stood on the big rock, he shouted at the top of his voice, “Silence. Listen to me, I have something to say. ”

The originally noisy village entrance immediately quieted down. Everyone’s line of sight turned to their village chief.

Chief Lu pointed at Xua Yan.” Xua Yan told me that his family is going to produce good oil soon. It was Jiang Yue who told him the trick. You know, Jiang Yue’s grandfather worked in an oil mill for more than ten years when he was young. When he’s old, he likes to talk about his younger days. Jiang Yue remembered it and told Xua Yan.”

After a pause, Chief Lu continued, “He wants you to send all the seeds to him and not sell them to the town. You know that the town only pays four coins per pack, and Xua Yan is willing to pay six coins per pack, so a hundred packs are six hundred coins, two hundred more than the original price.”

“That’s good. That’s good.” Everyone was in an uproar.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan walked to Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu’s side silently.

“Don’t be so happy yet, I haven’t finished.” Chief Lu pressed both his hands down until everyone quieted down again, then continued, “We have quite a lot of rapeseeds. As for his family situation, you all know that they don’t have that much money, so they want to owe the money first.”

“How can we do that!” Someone immediately objected.

“That’s right, that won’t do.”

Many people started to speak up.

No one felt at ease without the money in their hands.

Someone even asked, “Xua Yan, did you really get good oil?”

“Not yet,” Xua Yan said with a smile, “Soon.”

“You guys, look!” That person immediately became excited.

“Actually, it hasn’t even been squeezed out yet, and you want us to send the seeds over without paying, only owing. What if you can’t squeeze it out again? Should we give up our money? Jiang Yue was such a young child, could she really remember those tricks? ”

“Someone will come to the oil mill to collect our seeds later. If we don’t sell them and offend the oil mill, will the oil mill still accept our seeds in the future?”

“Even if we do, the price will definitely be even lower. We haven’t even paid taxes. After deducting taxes, we can’t even earn much. Let’s not take this chance and lose more money.”

“Yes, yes.” Everyone agreed, and they were even a little angry.

“Well…” Xua Yan was so anxious that he wanted to explain himself, but he didn’t have the chance to do so as everyone was talking about him angrily.

Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu were Xua Yan’s relatives, so they didn’t say anything. However, they didn’t agree with Xua Yan’s idea of sending everyone’s vegetable seeds to his house either.

It was Xue Erfu who noticed Jiang Yue and Xue Yan first, “Hey, you guys are here too?”

Before Jiang Yue and Xue Xiao could reply, Chief Lu shouted, “I’m not done yet, you should at least wait for me to finish. I know your concerns, and Xua Yan knows them, so he proposed another way. You don’t have to sell the seeds. He will help us extract the oil, and we will sell the oil in town. We don’t have to pay him, but we just have to give the last bit of the oil to his family. If we can really get good oil from this, we can probably make about six hundred coins from a hundred packs of rapeseeds.”
