Soon, Beauty Liu sat back down, but in that instant, the air in the room grew somewhat awkward!
Chen Ergou glanced at the blushing Beauty Liu, and was just about to find a topic when Beauty Liu had already taken the lead and said, “Ergou, I heard the village broadcast earlier that Old Man Zhang has contracted another barren hill behind the village, right?”
Hearing Beauty Liu change the subject, Chen Ergou quickly chimed in, “Yeah, he signed the contract with the village earlier today, it should be the same as mine, five years, one hundred thousand!”
“He really got a bargain!”
Beauty Liu blurted out indignantly at that moment!
She had not a speck of goodwill for Old Man Zhang, because every time she met him, she noticed he looked at her with utter disgust!
Beauty Liu felt that this old scoundrel should be doomed to a life of bad luck!
But now, it seemed his luck was about to turn!
This truly infuriated Beauty Liu!
Seeing Beauty Liu in such a state of righteous indignation, Chen Ergou smiled and said, “A bargain?
Just wait and see the drama unfold, soon he’ll be crying!”
Seeing Chen Ergou brimming with confidence, Beauty Liu asked back, “Crying?
Why?
Is it because he’s making too much money?”
“Heh heh!
Sister-in-law, it wouldn’t be fun if I told you!
Just wait and enjoy the show!
Alright, it’s getting late, I’ll be going!
You should also rest well!”
“Okay!
Then I won’t see you out, Sister-in-law!”
Smiling, Chen Ergou suddenly said with a sly grin, “Alright!
Otherwise, you might fall into my arms again!”
Being reminded by Chen Ergou of the embarrassingly awkward moment just before, she stamped her foot in an instant, “You…”
“Goodbye, Sister-in-law!”
Seeing Beauty Liu about to fly into a rage again, Chen Ergou hastily beat a retreat!
…
The next day, bright and early, Chen Ergou reached the barren hill he had contracted and continued spraying with his sprayer.
Chen Ergou knew that only by continuously infusing green True Qi, could the growth of the plants double in speed, and the medicinal effect would be even better…
Watching the seedlings nourished by the green True Qi grow bit by bit, Chen Ergou was truly elated!
Because Chen Ergou knew it wouldn’t be long before they could be harvested!
“Everybody, let’s push hard to finish within today!”
At that moment, Chen Ergou heard such a loud shout and, turning his head, saw Old Man Zhang standing under a tree giving orders!
“It looks like he’s really preparing to go all out!
I hope he still has this much energy when he understands everything!”
With such a sneer, Chen Ergou prepared to leave, but then suddenly heard Old Man Zhang’s shout!
“Hey, if it isn’t Ergou!
I see you’re quite skilled with the sprayer, why don’t you work for me and spray the seeds in my field every day!
I’ll give you ten bucks a day!
Ten bucks, though not much, but it’s better than doing nothing all day, right?”
With such derision, Old Man Zhang leaned against the tree, a look of pure satisfaction on his face as he lit a cigarette for himself!
At this moment, Old Man Zhang was indeed in a good mood!
Especially since he thought that by tomorrow, the seeds that had just been planted would sprout rapidly, his heart was blooming with joy!
Because he knew that once the seeds sprouted, he would have a continuous stream of money!
By then, not only in the village, but even in the town, in the county, or even in the city, he would be an absolute celebrity known by everyone!
By then, someone like Lin Qiaoqiao, he wouldn’t even consider her worth a glance!
Because he would completely have the means to seek a better woman!
“This Old Man Zhang really is a petty man gloating!”
“Exactly!
Ergou hasn’t wronged him, and yet he pesters him all the time!”
“No kidding!”
Chen Ergou had not yet spoken, but many people had already opened their mouths, and they felt they couldn’t bear to watch any longer!
“Alright, as long as they can sprout, then I’ll help you!
And I’ll do it for free!”
After glancing at Old Man Zhang, who was hopping around like a jesting clown, Chen Ergou walked away directly!
Chen Ergou couldn’t be bothered to waste his precious time with him…
“A mangy dog!”
Seeing Chen Ergou leave, Old Man Zhang continued to mock him without hesitation…
…
“Does your stomach still hurt?”
After dinner, Chen Ergou came to Lin Qiaoqiao’s room because she kept complaining about stomach pain during the meal!
“Yes, Brother Ergou, it still hurts!”
Leaning against the bed weakly, Lin Qiaoqiao glanced at Chen Ergou and continued to hold her belly!
“Let me have a look for you!”
Seeing Lin Qiaoqiao’s face turning somewhat pale, Chen Ergou quickly helped diagnose her, and soon, he had a conclusion!
With a smile, Chen Ergou said, “Qiaoqiao, you must be about to get your period, right?”
Lin Qiaoqiao blinked in surprise and asked somewhat blankly, “Huh?
Brother Ergou, how do you know?”
“Of course, it’s by looking at the condition of your body!
You’ve been eating too many cold things recently, so your body is too Yin cold.
To put it bluntly, you have dysmenorrhea!”
Explaining this, Chen Ergou thought about how she had eaten a bunch of plums before!
It could be said that the majority of the plums they had picked had been eaten by her alone!
Thinking back on it now, it must have been those plums that caused the trouble!
“Did I eat that much?”
Lin Qiaoqiao fiddled with the hem of her clothes somewhat guiltily!
To be honest, she also knew she had eaten a bit too much, but she still didn’t want to admit it!
Seeing Lin Qiaoqiao reluctant to admit it, Chen Ergou couldn’t help but glared at her, “Not much?
You nearly ate that whole bag of plums!”
“Alright, Brother Ergou, I know I was wrong, but what should I do now?”
Her nose twitched slightly, and she looked up with a pitiful face, full of grievances!
Lin Qiaoqiao knew she was at fault, but there was nothing she could do about it; she just really liked eating plums!
Seeing her pitiful look, Chen Ergou said, “I can massage a few acupuncture points on your body to warm you up, but…
”
“But what?”
Lin Qiaoqiao, feeling Chen Ergou’s hesitation, quickly asked with urgency.
Lin Qiaoqiao was really uncomfortable now, so if Chen Ergou had a way to alleviate her discomfort, she was very willing to try it!
“The other acupuncture points needing massage are all on your stomach, but there’s one point on your chest, so…”
As he explained, Chen Ergou couldn’t help but glance at her chest inadvertently.
Because she was getting ready for bed, she was wearing very little, so…
“This…”
After understanding what Chen Ergou was trying to convey, Lin Qiaoqiao also became extremely shy in an instant!
After all, letting Chen Ergou massage her chest was too embarrassing…
“Little sister Qiaoqiao, if you’re not comfortable with it, that’s fine, I’ll go pour you a cup of hot water.
After you drink it and rest well, you should also get better!”
Seeing Chen Ergou getting ready to leave, Lin Qiaoqiao, flush with embarrassment, struggled for a while before finally calling out to Chen Ergou, “Brother Ergou, I’m willing…”
