Chapter 241: The people from the next village came to ask Wei Ruo for help
Xu Gongzi not only helped them so much, but also gave them such a good opportunity, he must grasp it well.
"Hmm." Wei Ruo nodded.
After Wei Ruo finished talking to Shi Dayou, he was about to leave Stone Village.
However, when I walked to the entrance of Shicun Village, I met a large group of people, dozens of people, men, women and children.
Wei Ruo didn't know these people, and they should be the farmers in the neighborhood when they looked at their clothes.
"Master Xu, please help us!"
As soon as they met, these people begged Wei Ruo, and people flocked to Wei Ruo as they spoke.
Xiumei stepped forward and stopped Wei Ruo: "You have something to say, don't lean up!"
Shi Dayou also stepped forward and said loudly to everyone, "Big guy, calm down, let's stand far away if we have something to say!"
Shi Dayou recognized that these people who came were all from Xiaoxi Village next door to them, and they were separated by a mountain from their village, and if they walked around the foot of the mountain, they would only need to walk for half an hour.
Xiumei's scolding and Shi Dayou's words played a certain role, and these people stopped, took a few steps back, and opened up some distance between them and Wei Ruo.
Then these people began to babble about what they meant:
"We are here to ask Gongzi Xu for help, the seedlings in our field are all dead, and now the new seedlings can't catch up!"
"Yes, yes, we heard that Xu Gongzi has a way to help us!"
"Gongzi Xu, please do it, save us! We're going to run out of food this year!"
「……」
A group of people spoke together, chattering, Wei Ruo listened for a while before he roughly understood what they were trying to say, their seedlings died, and they came to ask her for help.
Although Wei Ruo didn't remember what these people looked like, listening to their accounts, he knew that they had been persuaded by Wei Ruo before but had not listened to Wei Ruo's words.
Because Wei Ruo visited the surrounding farmland in the vicinity at that time, and found that there was a bad seedling disease, he tried to persuade the other party to raise seedlings again.
After listening to Wei Ruo's words, he must have changed the seedlings at this time, and he who is still coming to beg Wei Ruo must not have heard it at that time.
Wei Ruo looked at these people and said loudly, "Be quiet."
After Wei Ruo finished shouting, everyone stopped and looked at Wei Ruo.
Seeing that there was no noise, Wei Ruo answered everyone bluntly:
"I've already told you all at the time, if you don't raise the seedlings again, it's too late to wait for something to happen. So now that this has happened, it's useless for you to come back to me."
Hearing this, the crowd in front of him immediately retorted:
"How can there be no way? We've all heard that you gave Stone Village a batch of very good rice seeds, saying that you can grow rice even if you plant it late, and the yield is still high!"
"yes, yes, you obviously have rice seeds! You can help us!"
"Young Master Xu, if we don't succeed this year, we will all starve to death! You can't be so ruthless, whether we live or die!"
「……」
However, these people who came to Wei Ruo firmly believed that Wei Ruo had a way to help them.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you." Wei Ruo replied.
"Xu Gongzi, you can't save you when you die! How can you be so ruthless? You're going to watch us all die in front of you!" An old man, on crutches, knocked the ground several times. ….
"yes, how can you be so ruthless! Our children are so young, how can you bear to see them starve to death!" The woman held her child in her arms with a resentful expression on her face.
"Xu Gongzi, we all know about your help in Stone Village, and you can't hide it! Don't lie to us anymore." A strong man shouted with a hoe.
Although the news was not developed in ancient times, there was no shortage of people who could spread the news, and the recent news that Stone Village had made a good life with the help of a "rich merchant" has spread in several nearby villages.
Xiaoxi Village is close to Stone Village, so the villagers naturally heard about it
After these things, and they also heard that this rich businessman Xu Gongzi was a very generous and kind person, and gave all kinds of benefits to Stone Village, and now the villagers of Stone Village not only plant seedlings well, but also have other money to take, and live a very good life, envy others.
Although Wei Ruo didn't know how these people knew that they had late rice seeds in their hands, but in the face of the requests of several people, Wei Ruo said: "If you want late rice seeds, it's okay, I can help you ask where you can buy late rice seeds, you can buy them according to the market price, as for whether it's too late to raise seedlings after buying them back now, I don't know."
Hearing Wei Ruo's words, the faces of everyone in Xiaoxi Village immediately fell.
"Gongzi Xu, why do you care if you are so rich that we need money for rice seeds?"
"Yes, yes, and you didn't ask for money for Stone Village, why did you ask for money for us?"
"Xu Gongzi, you are a good person, you have helped Stone Village, and you are not bad to help us again. We will be as grateful to you as much as the people of Stone Village for the rest of your life!"
「……」
Wei Ruo was unmoved, and his attitude was clear: "It's my business who I am willing to give to, rice seeds don't fall from the sky, they are originally sold for money, you can buy them with money if you want."
"This ...... Where do we have the money? We can't live anymore!"
"That's right, I can't eat, where did I get the money to buy your rice seeds! You can't be too black-hearted, Xu Gongzi! Isn't it just a matter of a few bags of rice seeds to you? That's our life!"
"Xu Gongzi, you are a good person to the end, help us, I will kowtow to you with the child!"
「……」
Wei Ruo listened to the words of several people, and his face was still expressionless: "Don't you know that I am a businessman? Merchants are just here to make money, who cares if you live or die? When did I say I was a good person?"
A few who were about to kneel and kowtow to Wei Ruo were immediately stunned.
"But...... But you're not helping Stone Village......
"That's to each take what he needs, they are living for ***, I pay them, and you don't help me make money, what do I care if you live or die?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.
Wei Ruo has this temper, she is willing to take the initiative to help those who need help, but if the other party takes the initiative to ask her to do good deeds, her rebellious psychology will come up, and she will be a bad person instead of a good person in their mouth!
After Wei Ruo finished speaking, everyone in Xiaoxi Village was dumbfounded.
After a short period of stunnedness, the villagers of Xiaoxi Village surrounded Wei Ruo again:
"Xu Gongzi, you can't be so desperate!"
"Gongzi Xu, you helped Stone Village, you should also help us!"
"You have a lot of money and you don't lack such a little money!"
"Xu Gongzi, if you don't promise to help us today, we will kneel down until you agree!"
「……」
said that it was a request, but everyone swarmed and surrounded Wei Ruo, which looked more like they wanted to force her to help.
