Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Lingcao Fields

Today is a day of great joy for the people of Green Water Village. Everyone is in high spirits, planting the gathered Lingcao on the specially prepared land after receiving the money.

Richard Brown’s family is well-organized, with Ben Taylor and his daughter in charge of accounting. Richard Brown and his wife are responsible for their respective lands, instructing villagers to plant the Lingcao they’ve dug up.

Everyone does their job diligently, even the villagers handle the Lingcao very carefully when planting them in the ground. They don’t know why Peter Brown wants these wild herbs, but they understand that he is genuinely helping everyone.

"Jacob, how many have you dug?"

"There are many people digging; I’ve dug up five."

"That’s 500 yuan!"

"How about you?"

"I only dug up four; I’ll try going up the mountain again tomorrow."

...

While counting the money, the villagers chat with each other.

"Boss Wang is so generous!"

"Yes! Even if it were only 10 yuan per plant, we would still go up the mountain to dig. Boss Wang directly gave 100 yuan per plant. He is truly helping us for the sake of the village chief!"

"That’s true; this young man is really something. I remember seeing him when he was a child; he was already very smart back then. Who would have thought that the development of our village would depend on him!"

"Look! Boss Wang is coming over, and Lily Jackson is following him."

"Is Boss Wang also buying the wild herbs dug up by the Jackson sisters for 100 yuan each?"

"Who knows? If so, the Jackson sisters will make a lot of money. I have seen that they have dug up many plants, which could easily add up to 10,000 yuan!"

"That much?"

"Of course! No one knew that those wild herbs would sell as well, only they dug them up!"

"That means they will make a fortune! Honestly, their family is really struggling. Their father went away and never came back, and no one knows where he ended up. He doesn’t take care of the family, and their mother is disabled, unable to take care of the household. The sisters have been hardworking since they were young, and the entire family relies on them!"

An old woman sighed, "Their family is indeed the most difficult in the village. The elderly passed away early, and now the household is in such a state. If it weren’t for the two children being sensible, their family would be finished!"

"What can we do? Every household in the village is like this; they are all struggling more or less! Now Boss Wang is kind-hearted and spending so much money to help everyone, our lives will be better this year."

"That’s true, Boss Wang is blatantly finding an excuse to give everyone money. This is benevolence!"

Everyone praises Peter Brown’s actions.

As they talk, Peter Brown has already come over. Looking around, he can see many people gathering here.

At that moment, Ben Taylor looks at Peter Brown and asks, "Peter, Lana said that you mentioned buying these other kinds of wild herbs too?" He was also quite shocked today, realizing that Peter Brown would have to spend at least one hundred thousand yuan. That is a huge sum of money!

Peter Brown checks the dug-up Lingcao and finds that everyone has been very careful; the roots are well-protected. He smiles and looks at the surrounding villagers, "Today, when I went up the mountain, I discovered other kinds of herbal medicine. I told the Jackson sisters at that moment. Everyone, take a look! I will also buy these other herbal medicines, and the same as before, I’ll pay 100 yuan per plant."

"Ah! Why didn’t you say it earlier? I saw several plants but didn’t dig them up. Later, they were all dug up by the sisters!"

Everyone gathered around to look at the Lingcao.

After watching for a while, some villagers hurriedly ran towards the mountain, presumably because they discovered the other kinds of herbs there.

"Peter, can we exchange them for money?" Lana’s eyes were shining as she looked at Peter.

"Yes, of course!"

Peter personally counted the harvested Lingcao, totaling more than one hundred plants.

He prepared 10,000 dollars and several hundred dollar bills, then handed them to Lana, "Keep it safe."

Upon receiving the money, the sisters were stunned—they could really exchange it for money!

Suddenly, Lana burst into tears.

Seeing her sister cry, Lily Jackson also began to cry.

"What’s wrong? What happened to you?" Peter immediately panicked.

"Peter!"

Lana suddenly threw herself into Peter’s arms, sobbing loudly.

"What’s wrong? What happened?"

Being embraced by a very plump young girl who was also crying loudly, Peter didn’t know what to do at that moment.

It took a great deal of effort to calm the sisters down.

At that moment, Lana suddenly knelt in front of Peter, "Peter, I know that you spent so much money to help our village. In reality, these wild herbs aren’t valuable at all. We’ll accept this money and remember your kindness. With this money, I can treat my mother’s illness and fix our leaking and drafty house. You are a good person!"

Lily Jackson also looked at Peter, "Peter, I will always remember your kindness, too!"

"Listen to what you’re saying. These herbs are really useful to me, and I still can make money after buying these herbs."

At this time, the villagers were moved by the sisters’ words.

A middle-aged woman said, "Boss Wang, to be honest, every family benefited at least a hundred yuan, some even up to a thousand yuan. This money is very useful to our village. This year, every household can improve their lives. With this money, everyone’s hearts are at ease!"

"Yes, Boss Wang, no matter what your intentions are, our entire village will remember your kindness!"

Looking at these simple villagers, Peter Brown feels guilty. He knows that these Lingcao are indeed of great use to him, but no matter what he says, the villagers believe that he is buying these wild herbs to help them; there is nothing he can do about it.

Never mind, he’ll spend more money to help everyone later.

Peter Brown and the Jackson sisters carefully plant the dug-up Lingcao together.

For the newly harvested Lingcao, Peter Brown has specially set aside several plots of land. In this way, there are more than ten areas, with each growing different Lingcao.

Richard Brown is directing some villagers to help separate the areas with bamboo.

Peter Brown’s cultivation has now reached the second level of Qi cultivation. He no longer needs to dig holes and bury jade talismans like before. This time, Peter Brown walks around, taking advantage of the villagers being preoccupied and inserting the jade talismans into the ground unnoticed.

After walking around, Peter Brown has buried all the required jade talismans.

With the Spiritual Gathering Array set up, all that’s needed now is to activate it. Then, this area will be filled with abundant Immortal Qi, and the planted Lingcao will not die.
