The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 346: Cloud Night Exposed (4)
"If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly, I still have to dig wild vegetables."

Because of the locust plague, the villagers were not in a very good mood. They all spoke a little irritable, and they were sallow and emaciated from hunger, listless.

Zhao Si invited Yun Mo to the villagers, and made a gesture to silence everyone.

"Folks, be quiet."

When a group of villagers saw Zhao Si's hand gestures, they all shut up.

When Zhao Si saw that the scene had calmed down, he said, "Folks, this is Miss Yun from Yangque Village."

He first introduced Yunmo to the villagers, but everyone was so hungry that they didn't care to listen to him.

"What's Miss Yun, Miss Yu, if you can't fill your stomach, what's the use of talking about it." Someone whispered.

Zhao Si saw that everyone was listless, and few people were listening to him at all. He cleared his throat, turned up the volume a few beats, and continued: "Miss Yun wants to rent our village's land to plant hibiscus flowers, as long as we help plant them and manage them. For each mu of land, she promised to give ten taels of silver every year, and to pay half of the rent in advance."

Hearing the word "Yinzi", all the villagers immediately revived with full blood as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, stared at Zhao Si with wide eyes and full of energy.

"Village Chief, is what you said true?"

"How can there be such a good thing in the world, is it a bluff?"

The conditions offered by Yun Mo were really good. When the villagers heard it for the first time, they had the same reaction as Zhao Si's reaction just now. It felt like a big pie had been thrown from the sky.

When someone questioned, Yunmo smiled, and hurriedly said: "I won't lie to everyone, please rest assured, as long as you rent the land to me and promise to help me plant hibiscus, I can pay half of the rent in advance."

"Folks, Miss Yun won't lie to you." Zhao Si also helped to persuade, "Our village has just been plagued by locusts and there is no harvest. There is no other way but to help Miss Yun plant hibiscus flowers. If you don't agree , I have no money and no food in hand, how can I survive this winter, adults can endure hunger and cold, but children can't bear it."

"Yes, the village chief is right."

"One mu of land is ten taels of silver per year. My family has five mu of land, and I can earn 50 taels of silver every year. If I pay half of the rent in advance, that is more than 20 taels. With so much money, I can have a good year this year." The crowd said. Inside, someone is counting with their fingers.

"Mujinhua, could it be the hibiscus flower that can detoxify arsenic poison?" There was a lot of discussion, and suddenly, someone yelled.

"What are you talking about, hibiscus flowers, and arsenic poison?" The bluff fell, followed by someone asking.

The bluffing person hurriedly explained, "Yesterday morning, I went to the county town to work as a business. When I passed by the county government, I heard someone talking about that a girl named Yun saved Li Xiucai who was poisoned by arsenic with the hibiscus flowers she planted. .”

"Are you talking nonsense, hibiscus flowers can detoxify arsenic, and it's not like I haven't seen hibiscus flowers before."

"The ones you saw are ordinary hibiscus flowers, which naturally cannot cure the poison of arsenic. The hibiscus flowers planted by Miss Yun are not ordinary hibiscus flowers. I also heard that recently Wenxianglou has released many hibiscus flowers. The new dishes, the business is very good, I guess, most of those hibiscus flowers were also bought from Miss Yun."

"Then is this girl Yun the girl you mentioned?"

"Ah, I remembered. When I passed by the county government, those people seemed to say that the girl Yun who saved people with hibiscus flowers was from Yangque Village."
