Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Go! Of course I'll go!" Shen Monong was in high spirits.

The two then went to the mushroom laboratory.

Jiang Weiwei knew that Old Shen was coming today, so she had already dressed in a brand-new Lenin suit, her hair neatly combed, and waited eagerly at the door. Upon seeing Shen Monong, she immediately greeted him with her sweetest smile: "Uncle Shen, you've arrived! I'm Jiang Zhiping's daughter, Weiwei. You've met me at my house before."

Shen Monong nodded. "Yes, I've heard about your father switching babies. You are all good children of the Jiang family. Zhenzhen is smart, but her mind isn't on agricultural science. You, on the other hand, are willing to study this, which is quite good. Let's go, let's take a look at the mushrooms you've cultivated."

Jiang Weiwei rolled her eyes inwardly.

Before her rebirth, the whole world revolved around the fake heiress Jiang Sisi, and everyone loved Jiang Sisi! She desperately tried to prove that she was the real heiress of the Jiang family, more outstanding, and more worthy of love. But she only realized after her death that those people loved Jiang Sisi as a person, not the identity of "the heiress of the Jiang family".

In this life, she only wants to use the Jiang family's influence to gain benefits and wealth for herself. As for the title of Jiang family's daughter, let whoever wants it, it doesn't matter!

She still smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, you flatter me. I still have a lot to learn." She turned to look at Su Wanqing, who was also waiting to the side, her eyes filled with provocation. "Come on, Comrade Su, shall we take a look together? So that Uncle Shen can give us some pointers."

She was secretly pleased with herself, and she was looking forward to seeing how Su Wanqing would jump out in a fit of rage and accuse her of cheating when she saw that there were clearly more mycelia in her lab than the 100 test tubes.

Dean Shen certainly knew where these mycelia came from. Although he might not like this method, out of respect for the Jiang family, he would at most reprimand them a couple of times, but in the end, he would turn a blind eye.

Seeing her yield, Su Wanqing would only become more anxious and might even increase the mycelium yield on her own. If she dares to do so, she can expect to be caught cheating by Elder Shen!

Su Wanqing raised an eyebrow, her expression calm: "Okay, let's go take a look."

The group first went to Jiang Weiwei's laboratory.

Sure enough, there were visibly more mycelium packets inside than yesterday.

Shen Monong frowned and asked only one question: "You all received 100 standard mycelium test tubes back then, right?"

Jiang Weiwei stuck out her tongue and said innocently, "Yes, Uncle Shen. But my results are far from comparable to Comrade Su's! I heard she can grow several hundred catties!" She deliberately exaggerated her words.

"Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense! You two girls..." Dean Shen glared at Jiang Weiwei. "You must understand that the production data currently on record will be used as the basis for determining the supply quotas to supply and marketing cooperatives at all levels if the program is approved for wider adoption! Do you know what falsifying data means? You'll be held accountable!"

Jiang Weiwei was inwardly unconvinced, but outwardly she said obediently, "Uncle Shen, don't worry. Once I obtain the qualification for this planting site, I will naturally provide the corresponding number of mushrooms to the public every month according to the records."

What she was thinking was, "So what if the Jiang family secretly gets a few hundred mycelium test tubes every month? It's no big deal! That cold-blooded father will definitely find a way to get rid of her."

Besides, most of the money from selling the extra mushrooms will go into her own pocket, so she won't lose out.

Shen Monong sighed and didn't delve any further. He weighed the options in his mind and concluded that, realistically, it was indeed more beneficial for the 65th Regiment to obtain this spot—she had resources behind her that could continuously replenish the mycelium, ensuring stable production, and she might even be able to achieve a better ranking in the subsequent national evaluation with the help of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This was a more prudent choice, both for ensuring local supply and for the 65th Regiment's political achievements.

He silently noted down the situation in Jiang Weiwei's laboratory in his notebook: "...Estimated yield for the first batch is 250 jin."

This number is far beyond the normal level, but he chose to temporarily set aside his doubts.

Jiang Weiwei stared intently at Su Wanqing, trying to see surprise, resentment, or anger on her face. But nothing happened. Su Wanqing simply looked at her calmly, even with a hint of...disdain?

She couldn't help but speak up, "Su Wanqing, look, my mushrooms have grown quite a bit more today. My yield must be higher than yours, right?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing actually smiled and nodded, "Yes, Comrade Jiang is indeed very skilled; the mycelium is growing really well. However... my mushrooms seem to have grown a little more today as well."

Jiang Weiwei was somewhat disappointed. Su Wanqing hadn't even reacted angrily? Didn't she realize she was cheating? Or had she already given up?

"Let's go, let's take another look at Comrade Su's laboratory." Shen Monong spoke up. He wanted to see just how outrageous Su Wanqing, whom Li Aiguo had praised to the skies, could cheat.

The group moved to Su Wanqing's laboratory.

As soon as the door opened, Shen Monong glanced at it casually, and then froze! He took a few steps forward, moved closer to the mycelium rack, opened his mouth slightly, and almost pressed his face against the mycelium pack to examine it carefully.

"This...this...this!!" He pointed at the densely packed oyster mushrooms, their buds thick and almost bursting at the seams, his voice trembling.

"You...you can produce at least 300 jin (150 kg) of this! I've never seen 100 standard mycelia grow to this size under these conditions! And your growth rate is much faster than Jiang Weiwei's, it's ridiculous! It's getting more and more outrageous! You might as well just bring over some mature oyster mushrooms to fill the quota!"

He subconsciously assumed that Su Wanqing must have brought over all the mushrooms that others had cultivated.

Jiang Weiwei looked at Su Wanqing with schadenfreude, thinking that she was really brave to cheat under Uncle Shen's nose.

Su Wanqing blinked. "Old Shen, you haven't seen it before, maybe it's because you... well, your knowledge isn't broad enough, you're just ignorant? Now you've seen it, haven't you? The mushrooms I cultivate are this productive."

Shen Monong was so angry at her "arrogant" words that his mustache stood on end.

"You! You're recording this yield now, but do you realize that your planting site needs to consistently supply close to this yield every month? Otherwise, during the national competition, if everyone exaggerates their yield to 800 or 1000 jin like you, cheating to get a spot, wouldn't that create chaos?!"

His words actually carried a hint of disappointment, reminding Su Wanqing that Jiang Weiwei had someone backing her up, and that she was wondering where she would get so much mycelium to maintain high yields in the future. Even cheating has its basic rules!

Su Wanqing was worried that the oyster mushrooms produced in her space were increasing and there was nowhere to openly consume them!

That would be great! If we could win this national competition and have the old dean as a witness, we could legitimately be "prolific" from now on!
