Chapter 241: The Village Next Door’s Request for Wei Ruo’s Help

Not only had Duke Xu helped them so much, but he had also given them such a good opportunity that he had to make the most of it.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo nodded.

Wei Ruo was leaving Stone Village after talking to Shi Dayou.

However, when they walked to the entrance of the stone village, they met a large group of people, crowed, there are dozens of people, men and women, young and old.

These people Wei Ruo do not recognize, look at the dress should be the farmers in the neighborhood.

“Mr. Xu, please help us!”

As soon as they met, these people opened their mouths and begged Wei Ruo, saying that people also flocked to Wei Ruo.

Xiu Mei stepped forward and blocked in front of Wei Ruo: “You guys have something to talk about, don’t lean up!”

Shi Dayou also stepped forward and said loudly to the crowd, “Calm down, big guy, if we have something to say, let’s stand far away and talk!”

Shi Dayou recognized that the people who came were from their next-door Xiaoxi village, which was separated from their village by a mountain, and if they walked around the foot of the mountain, they only had to walk for half an hour to get there.

Xiu Mei’s scolding voice and Shi Dayou’s words played a certain role, and only then did these people stop in their tracks and slightly backed up a few sentences, pulling away some of the distance between them and Wei Ruo.

Then the men began to talk in a chorus of words about the purpose of their visit:

“We’re here to ask Mr. Xu for help, all the seedlings in our fields have died, and now we can’t catch up with the new seedlings!”

“Yes, yes, yes, we’ve heard that Mr. Xu has the means to help us!”

“Mr. Xu, please do us a favor and save us! We won’t be able to eat this year!”

“……”

A group of people opened their mouths together, chattering, Wei Ruo listened for a while before she probably understood what they were trying to say, their seedlings died and came to beg her for help.

Although Wei Ruo didn’t remember the looks of these people, but listening to their narrations, he knew that they were the ones who had been persuaded by Wei Ruo before but didn’t listen to Wei Ruo’s words.

Because Wei Ruo at that time visited a nearby circle around the farmland, found that there is a bad seedling disease, are trying to persuade each other to re-plant seedlings.

Listening to Wei Ruo’s words this moment must have changed seedlings, and now have to come to beg Wei Ruo’s, certainly did not listen to it at that time.

Wei Ruo looked at the people and said aloud, “Be quiet.”

Only after Wei Ruo shouted did the crowd stop and look at Wei Ruo.

Seeing that there were no more raucous voices, Wei Ruo answered the crowd bluntly:

“I’ve already told you all what I should have told you at the time, and if you don’t reseed your seedlings, it’s too late to wait for something to happen. So now that this has happened, it’s useless for you to beg me again.”

At the word immediately the crowd in front of him retorted in a chorus of voices:

“How can there be no way? We’ve heard all about it, you gave Stone Village a batch of very good rice seeds, saying that you can grow rice even with late planting, with high yields!”

“Yeah, yeah, you obviously have rice seeds! You could have helped us!”

“Mr. Xu, if we don’t harvest this year, we’ll all starve to death! You can’t be so heartless and not care about us!”

“……”

Yet these people who came to Wei Ruo were adamant that Wei Ruo had a way to help them.

“I’m sorry, I can’t help you guys.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Mr. Xu, you’re seeing death! How can you be so heartless? You are going to watch us all die in front of you!” An old man leaned on his crutches and viciously struck the ground a few times.

“Yes, how can you be so cruel! Our children are still so young, how can you bear to see them starve to death alive!” The woman held her child in her arms with a grim expression.

“Mr. Xu, we all know about you helping Stone Village, you can’t hide this from us! Just stop lying to us.” A strong man yelled with a hoe.

Although the ancient news is not developed, but there is no lack of people who can spread the news, stone village recently in a “rich merchant” help to live a good life things have been in the neighborhood of several villages inside the rumor.

Xiaoxi village is close to the stone village, the villagers naturally heard about these things, and they also heard that this rich merchant Xu Gongzi is a generous and kind person, gave the stone village all kinds of benefits, now the stone village villagers not only planted seedlings, there are other money to take, the day is very good, envious of others.

Although Wei Ruo does not know how these people know that they have late rice seeds in hand, but in the face of several people’s request, Wei Ruo said: “You want late rice seeds then also line, I can help you ask can buy to the place of late rice seeds, you in accordance with the market price to buy it, as for now to buy back to the rice seedlings after breeding is still not too late I also do not know. “

Hearing Wei Ruo’s words, the faces of the people in Little Brook Village immediately pulled down.

“Mr. Xu, how come you’re so rich and still ask us for money for rice seeds?”

“Yeah, yeah, and you didn’t even ask for money for Stone Village, so why should you ask for money for us?”

“Mr. Xu be a good man to the end, you’ve helped the Stone Village’s, so it’s not too bad to help us again. We’ll be just as grateful to you for the rest of our lives as the people of Stone Village!”

“……”

Wei Ruo was not moved, her attitude was clear: “Who I’m willing to give it to is my business, rice seeds don’t fall from the sky, they are originally sold for money, if you want to take out money to buy.”

“This …… this where do we have any money left? We can’t even make it through this day!”

“That’s right, we can’t even eat, so where will we get the money to buy your rice seeds! You can’t be too black-hearted, Mr. Xu! Isn’t it just a matter of a few bags of rice seeds for you? It’s our lives!”

“Mr. Xu just be a good man and help us out, I’ll bring my child to kowtow to you!”

“……”

Wei Ruo listened to the words of several people and remained expressionless: “Don’t you know that I’m a businessman? A businessman is all about making money, who cares if you live or die? When did I say I’m a good person?”

A few who were about to kneel and kowtow to Wei Ruo immediately froze.

“But …… but aren’t you helping the stone village ……”

“That’s to each his own, they’re working for me, I’m paying them, you’re not helping me make money, what do I care if you live or die?” Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

Wei Ruo on this temperament, she is willing to take the initiative to help those in need of help, but if the other party took the initiative to ask her to do good deeds, her rebelliousness came up, preferring to be a bad person not to be the good people in their mouths!

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, the crowd in Xiao Xi Village was dumbfounded.

After a short period of stunned silence, the crowd of villagers from Xiaoxi Village surrounded towards Wei Ruo again:

“Mr. Xu you can’t see death like that!”

“Mr. Xu you helped Stone Village you should have to help us too!”

“You’re too rich to be short of that kind of money!”

“Mr. Xu if you don’t promise to help us today we’ll kneel down until you do!”

“……”

It was said to be begging, but the way the crowd swarmed around Wei Ruo was more like they were trying to force her to help by force.
