The herbs that have been planted have sprouted. However, in Bai Zhi’s field, the growth of herbs was particularly good, which showed that the effect of purple vine leaves was still working.

Seeing the green leaves, Hu Changlin cheerfully said: “It’s only been a few days, but the leaves unfolded. In my 2 acres of fields, there’s only a green bud. If I knew it will be like this, I should have also gone to the Luoying Mountain  and get some purple vine leaves.”

Bai Zhi waved her hand “There’s no need for that. It’s better if they grow in different cycles. We don’t have to worry about them being sold out at the same time. Isn’t it much better to sell them one after another?”

Zhou Awu asked: “Yesterday, Boss Chen visited the fields personally. He said that since the melons are gone. Their business runs low, so he is waiting for the medical diet to launch. Looking at the growth of the herbs, how long will it take before they can be harvested?”

Bai Zhi tried to calculate it: “It will take a month or so. If we won’t wait for it to get matured, it will not taste like green vegetables, and its medicinal properties will lessen.”

Hu Changlin looked at the villagers, who were probing their heads not far away. He lowered his voice and said: “Many people in the village have come to ask me these days what we have planted. It seems they want to follow suit.”

Bai Zhi shrugged: “You can tell them if they ask. It’s not a secret. They will know about it sooner or later, but it’s not easy to plant these herbs. And first of all, they need to get herbal seeds. These herbals seeds are not like vegetable seeds that you can buy to the market. We got these seeds, but it was Boss Chen who bought them in the capital.”

“Moreover, how can people who are not familiar with pharmacology grow these herbs? Who are they kidding? Will people buy herbs from them?”

Hu Changlin was shocked, but then smiled and said: “I see, that’s the case. I’ll talk to them next time.”

The three got on a carriage and drove back to the village. As soon as they entered the village, they saw a lot of people outside the Bai Family, which was very noisy.

Hu Changlin took a glance through the small window and said: “This Bai family can’t live in peace even for a day. They really know how to turn the village noisy like a market.”

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang’s were fighting in the yard. They were pulling each other’s hair. No one wants to let go.

Old Lady Bai was siding to Mrs. Liu. She kept scolding Mrs. Zhang with her mouth. Bai Erzhu was a man, so he didn’t want to join in the fight. He kept persuading them in anxiousness, but no one listens to him.

Bai Zhenzhu shrunk herself in the corner of their room, as her tears fall in her face. No one could tell if her face was cold due to fright or disgust.

Village Chief Li squeezed himself into the crowd. Seeing the situation, he immediately shouted: “What are you doing? Don’t you still want to let go of each other?”

When Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang entangling each other, no one wanted to let go. Their scalp was badly hurting for entangling themselves for a long time, but no one in the family stops them. Fortunately, someone came forward this time.

As soon as the two let go of each other, Mrs. Liu spat at Mrs. Zhang and shouted: “Biting the hand that feeds you, you are really a white-eyed wolf!”

Mrs. Zhang was not angry, but she answered back: “Who is biting the hand that feeds you? Did I ever take your food, Liu Guihua? Or is it you?”

Mrs. Liu’s scolded back: “Although you didn’t, you gave the money that Second brother-in-law earned to the Zhang Family. Isn’t it the same you biting the hand that feeds you?”

Mrs. Zhang sneered: “What’s wrong with giving money to the Zhang family? If you can give money to the Liu family, who will stop you? Or perhaps, your husband cannot make money, so you are too shy to help? Oh right, the day before yesterday, your eldest brother came and said that they have nothing to eat in their house, so he wanted to borrow some rice from you. Did you lend him some?”
