Tang Shi never expected that Niu Zhaodi was not only stupid but also shameless. This matter must not be known to the brigade leader. If the brigade leader finds out, it means that the whole village knows.

Being penalized with work points is a good thing; she definitely doesn't want to be punished by having to carry manure.

Also... we can't let Wen Li know that I was involved too.

After spending some time inquiring in the village, she had gained some understanding of Wen Li.

Those who offended Wen Li all met with bad ends. One or two incidents could be considered coincidences, but so many coincidences combined are something to ponder.

She had a feeling that Wen Li was a difficult person to deal with, and she didn't want to be punished by Wen Li.

How much do you want?

Niu Zhaodi was secretly pleased that she had given in so quickly. "Fifty yuan!"

Tang Shi stared wide-eyed at her in disbelief. She had thought she would be satisfied with five or ten yuan, but she never expected that the woman would actually dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!

Niu Zhaodi's asking price of fifty was a well-thought-out decision. Tang Shi would definitely not give her too much at once, so she only asked for fifty this time. Anyway, she could take it slow and ask Tang Shi for money again when she ran out of money later.

Tang Shi was unaware that Niu Zhaodi had already turned her into a money pot.

Tang Shi wasn't about to indulge her. "The few work points you deducted are only about five yuan at most. I'll give you twenty at most. We'll fight to the death if necessary!"

Twenty yuan was not what Niu Zhaodi expected, but it was still good. Anyway, she roughly knew where Tang Shi's bottom line was.

"make a deal!"

"I don't have that many on me, I'll give them to you later!"

"good!"

The two reached a deal without noticing that two more people were hiding behind the hillside not far behind them.

After they left, Chen Yan and Wen Li stood up.

"I never imagined that Tang Zhiqing was stirring things up behind the scenes. Xiao Li, did you already know all along?"

"Do you think someone with Niu Zhaodi's brain could come up with such a meticulous plan?"

Given the circumstances, if they had simply replaced the glass with a non-odorous one, the incident might have truly been classified as an accident.

Chen Yan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I thought she had suddenly become intelligent, but it turns out she was guided by a master!"

"But you didn't offend Tang Zhiqing, did you? Why does she hate you so much?"

"Where did all that gossip you usually talk about go? Didn't you notice that Tang Shi likes Jiang Zhiqing?"

"No? You and Jiang Zhiqing..." Chen Yan suddenly understood Tang Shi's thought process when she remembered that Jiang Chen had been beaten up by Wen Li.

"You always tell me to watch my mouth, but I bet you've offended just as many people as I have!"

Wen Li glanced at her, "Likewise!"

Chen Yan understood Wen Li's personality; she appeared gentle on the surface, but was actually more vengeful than anyone else. "Given your personality, you probably don't intend to let Tang Shi off the hook, do you?"

"Well, let Niu Zhaodi deal with her first. I haven't thought of anything else yet!"

Wen Li didn't really plan to do anything more. After all, Tang Shi had been getting so close to Jiang Chen lately, how could Jiang Yue'er, the female lead, tolerate it?

It seems that Jiang Yue'er will take care of the person without her even lifting a finger; it's just a matter of time.

As long as she behaves herself and doesn't provoke her, Wen Li won't take the initiative to deal with her. Everyone is just cannon fodder, and she is still very kind-hearted.

As it turns out, Wen Li was wrong this time. Jiang Yue'er was busy winning over Qi Yang and Xiao Liang and didn't realize that her home base was about to be raided.

Next, she needs to plan how to win over Meng Zhou, so she's been really busy lately, and even dealing with Wen Li has been put on hold.

If Wen Li knew what Jiang Yue'er was thinking, she would probably give her a big thumbs up.

The two strolled along the river for a while, and when their stomachs felt less bloated, they decided to go home. On their way back, Wen Li happened to see Jiang Laosan walking towards her and gesturing for her to talk alone.

"You go back first, Comrade Jiang needs to speak with me about something!"

Knowing that Wen Li was buying ginseng from Jiang Laosan and the others, Chen Yan left first.

How many?

Jiang Laosan was already used to Wen Li's directness and took out the ginseng wrapped in his pocket.

"Two in total, both less than ten years old!"

Wen Li glanced at the ginseng and promptly gave him six yuan.

Jiang Laosan took the money and left without saying a word.

Wen Li returned to the house and entered the spatial dimension.

After her recent transaction with Jiang Laosan, she now has about twenty ginseng plants in her space. She waters them with spiritual spring water every day, and they are growing well, with the growth rate increasing day by day.

Wen Li even specially cleared out a plot of land specifically for growing ginseng. These were all ginseng plants she had built up. If she ever went bankrupt, she could just take them to an auction house and she would never be short of money.

Wen Li was quite grateful to the female lead for this. If she had gone to find them herself, would she have been able to find so many ginseng plants?

Sure enough, her choice to exploit the female lead was the right one.

However, later on, the female lead also found a thousand-year-old ginseng, which she later presented to a high-ranking leader. After that, the female lead was able to establish herself firmly in Beijing.

Wen Li also wanted to intercept the thousand-year-old ginseng, but the back mountain stretches for more than 20 kilometers, and for someone like her without the protagonist's halo, finding it was harder than climbing to heaven.

However, she does know roughly when the female lead will find the ginseng, so she can try to intercept it then.

That's a thousand-year-old ginseng! Who wouldn't be tempted?

Wen Li felt no burden whatsoever about stealing the female lead's favor. They were mortal enemies anyway, so it was better for her to benefit from it than for the female lead to benefit from it!

She also collected the fruit from her spatial storage. It was cherry season, and she planned to send some cherries to Gu Huai.

In this day and age, fruit varieties are scarce, and Wenli pears are already quite conspicuous, so this time she plans not to be too arrogant and will only send 100 jin (50 kg) over.

If she had the chance to go to other cities, she could sell a batch of goods. She could just sell them and run away. But she couldn't do that here. She would be living here for a long time, so she should take it slow. Anyway, she wasn't short of money right now.

She packed up the things she needed to send to the black market tomorrow before leaving the space.

She glanced at the time; it was already ten o'clock. Lu Zechuan hadn't returned after going out, so it seemed he wouldn't be coming over tonight. She then went to sleep.

The next day, she took a day off and rode her bicycle to the commune. After putting her things away, Wen Li planned to go to the courtyard where Gu Huai lived.

After the New Year, Gu Huai changed his place of residence again; the saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" perfectly describes him.

Before she even reached Gu Huai's place, she saw several people loitering around. One of them was someone she had seen in the village not long ago. That person was Wang Wu from the Revolutionary Committee, the same person who had tried to arrest Jiang Yue'er but failed.

They appeared here...

Wen Li had a bad feeling. Gu Huai was her money god, she couldn't let anything happen to him!
