Chapter 192: Chapter 188: Only a Fool Would Not Take Advantage of a Good Deal

A large crowd of enthusiastic villagers surrounded Ruo Xuan with questions.

Xuanyuan Que’s hand was initially passively held by Ruo Xuan, but as the villagers gathered around, he gripped her small hand and covertly shielded her by his side, his handsome face expressionless with iciness as he lightly regarded these people.

Madam Liu saw that everyone was bombarding Xuanbao with non-stop questions and hurriedly came to her precious daughter’s rescue, "That wasn’t something Xuanbao dreamt up, it’s a method for growing mushrooms that she learned from a book. We still don’t know if it will be successful! If it does succeed, and there is a need, we will definitely ask the elders and neighbors for help."

Before Ruo Xuan had a chance to speak, amidst the series of warm and friendly voices, a sharp and harsh voice suddenly stood out.

Determined that the Ruo Family was reluctant to teach the villagers how to cultivate mushrooms, Granny Tan declared loudly, "Xuanbao, since it was a Deity who showed you the way in your dreams, teaching you how to cultivate mushrooms, that means the Deity wanted you to benefit all beings, not just yourself. Therefore, you must teach everyone the mushroom cultivation method!"

Mushrooms are valuable items; city folks love them, and they can fetch ten or more wen per jin, while some mushrooms even go for dozens of wen per jin.

So if she knew how to cultivate mushrooms, why should she worry about lacking silver to send her son to school in the future?

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Zhen Hu couldn’t help but inwardly praise her ingenuity!

His mother had the knack for it, even coming up with the pretext of benefiting all beings.

He joined in, raising his voice, "Exactly! Last time Xuanbao dreamt of a great flood and The Emperor rewarded her. That was a Deity benefiting all beings. It was only right that she shared her insight to save everyone, and the rewards from The Emperor—shouldn’t everyone have a share? After all, it wasn’t you who saved us; it was the Deity, so everyone should have a share of the rewards."

Zhen Hu grew more agitated as he spoke, his thoughts multiplying, "And there’s more! The Deity told you that it’s possible to grow a third rice crop, so you should let everyone plant it. But the Ruo Family only included a few households on good terms with your family to plant the rice, ignoring the other villagers, and that’s not right. When the rice is harvested, you should share some of the yield with the other villagers who didn’t plant. The land your family owns was all given as a reward; it should be shared too. A Deity is meant to save all beings, not just one family!"

If Granny Tan and Old Man Zhen were greedy, Zhen Hu was shameless and utterly despicable!

Having said his piece, Zhen Hu also addressed the other villagers, "Everyone, don’t you think what I’m saying makes sense? Shouldn’t the Ruo Family share everything with us?"

As long as he could stir up the villagers to create a fuss, he didn’t believe the Ruo Family would dare to keep the rewards and the mushroom cultivation methods to themselves without sharing.

He was sure that there were villagers who wanted to get a share of the Ruo Family’s rewards.

Watching as the Ruo Family both bought land and built houses, let alone the few hundred mu of wasteland in the village, what about that huge tract of wasteland outside the city gates? Thousands of mu, all belonging to the Ruo Family.

Moreover, the Ruo Family also owned a large manor in the city bestowed by The Emperor, as well as a hundred mu of good farmland—how could others in the village not envy them?

If everyone in the village had a share of the Ruo Family’s lands, each household could receive several dozen mu.

Such a substantial opportunity, he didn’t believe the villagers would not want to take advantage.

His sisters had all left home through semi-betrothal marriages, severing their ties to the family, and his father was in prison.

Without silver at home, he couldn’t even continue studying!

It’s all because of the Ruo Family!

Granny Tan was absolutely thrilled with her son’s cleverness, indeed the student surpassing the master!

She immediately echoed loudly, "Of course it’s sensible, since it’s a Deity benefiting all beings, everyone should have a portion of Xuanbao’s rewards! And also, that rice, if she didn’t let everyone plant it, she should share the yield. Share it! Quickly distribute it!"

Now that all her daughters were not by her side and unable to earn silver, Granny Tan was almost worried to death.

Daniu’s mother hadn’t expected that Granny Tan and her son would find such an opportunity to take advantage. To let such a chance slip would be foolish, especially since this was not just any opportunity; she immediately joined in, shouting, "That’s exactly right! Since it’s a Deity benefiting all beings, everyone should have a share of those rewards."

Baocai’s grandmother, along with Granny Tan and Daniu’s mother, who usually were in cahoots and detested by gods and humans alike, also raised her voice harshly as if volume alone made her more justified, "It’s not just the rewards, but also the rice in the fields, and the mushroom cultivation method."

Baocai’s grandmother wasn’t foolish either. She estimated that she wouldn’t be able to obtain The Emperor’s rewards, the Ruo Family was no fool either, and besides, she also didn’t dare to demand The Emperor’s rewards.

The rice wasn’t much when distributed, so might as well forget it.

The cultivation method for mushrooms is what’s truly important.

That’s a path to wealth!

Daniu’s mother said, "Exactly, exactly, including the methods for growing rice and mushrooms from the fields! It is the deity spreading blessings among all beings, not some exclusive technique of the Ruo Family! Don’t be foolish, pleading with the Ruo Family to teach everyone how to grow mushrooms! The method for growing mushrooms should be shared with everyone!"

The other villagers were dumbfounded. Could this even happen?

Madam Liu was so angry her head was steaming, "Bah! Shameless! What business is the reward of yours? And the methods for growing mushrooms and rice, I won’t tell you any of them. If you’re not satisfied, go report to the officials!"

The village chief’s wife rolled her eyes, "I think you three must have fevers, delirious! Better rush to the city and see a doctor!"

Ruo Xuan laughed; for the first time in her life, she laughed out of anger.

In silence, Ruo Xuan said to Divine Lord Xuanyuan, "Brother Xuanyuan, am I becoming more and more popular? I even managed to laugh in anger."

Xuanyuan Que knew she was truly angry. He raised his hand to pet her little head, using his spiritual power to soothe her anger, silently coaxing her, "There’s nothing to be angry about, just deal with anyone who upsets you, since none of them are as clever as you."

Ruo Xuan felt refreshed, utterly at ease.

So Divine Lord Xuanyuan also thought she was clever, O(∩_∩)O haha~

Ruo Xuan was very happy, not angry at all.

Not being angry was true, but settling scores was also true!

She had always been a flower that kept grudges, evident by how she clamored daily to eat rabbits and goats.

A flower that didn’t understand complicated human relations, knowing only to treat well those who treated her well.

Whoever bullied her, she would bully right back!

If the sun provided her sunlight, she would bloom towards the sun every day.

If the rabbit spirit and goat spirit wanted to eat her, she would diligently cultivate, vowing to eat them in return.

These foolish peasants wanting her rewards were undoubtedly bullying her!

How could she possibly let people bully her?

Ruo Xuan said with a beaming smile, "You want my reward?"

Zhen Hu said, "Of course, your reward is given by the deity to spread blessings to all beings—it has nothing to do with you, we all have a share in it!"

Ruo Xuan said, "Since you think my reward is from the deity spreading blessings to all beings, then you should go ask the deity for it!"

Old Lady Tan pointed at Ruo Xuan and cursed with a wicked heart, "If you don’t share it with everyone, your Ruo Family can wait for divine retribution!"

Xuanyuan Que looked over sharply, flicking his fingertip, a Immortal Technique flew out.

Ruo Xuan laughed, "I just won’t share, let’s see who gets divine retribution!"

You big bully, let the heavens deal with you!
