Hu Xiaobei didn't know those people had left crestfallen. Of course, even if he had known, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't have cared a bit!

At that moment, after arranging everything for the weighing, he was pulled by Song Xue'er to the peaceful riverside...

"Xiaobei brother, hurry up and tell me, how did you do it before? Why were you able to make those medicinal herbs grow so well overnight?"

Unable to figure it out, until now, Song Xue'er still couldn't comprehend how those medicinal herbs could have grown so well in just one night, so she was eagerly looking at Hu Xiaobei!

Seeing her staring at him like a curious baby, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "Before, I made some small modifications to those seeds! That's why their growth cycle became shorter!"

Hu Xiaobei wouldn't tell anyone about the Nine Wood True Qi, so he simply told a lie instead!

Of course, it wasn't really a lie, since Hu Xiaobei had indeed used Nine Wood True Qi to modify the seeds...

"You... you're amazing!"

"Of course!"

While feeling proud and smiling, Hu Xiaobei carefully observed Song Xue'er standing in front of him!

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei found that no matter how he looked at her, she was really super pretty...

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's intense gaze, Song Xue'er's cheeks turned slightly red. Soon, she playfully whispered, "What are you looking at?"

Caught in the act, Hu Xiaobei coughed awkwardly, "Nothing! I just think this outfit really suits you!"

"Ah, Xiaobei brother, you're so sweet today!"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei let out a sly laugh, "Have you tasted it?"

"You... you jerk brother!"

With that, she dashed towards Hu Xiaobei, who noticed and quickly turned to run away!

While the two of them were fooling around, the weighing had already begun...

"Eight hundred yuan! I just sold a hundred jin of medicinal herbs and made eight hundred yuan! In the past, I wouldn't earn this much in a month, or even several months!"

"Yeah, me too! No way! I must expand my business after this!"

"Yeah, yeah! I need to expand as well!"

When Zhenzhen held the money in her hand, they all got a taste of the sweet rewards and were making plans to expand because they all knew that the more they planted, the better the profit would be!

"Hey, you're all thinking about expanding, but don't you want to properly thank our benefactor?"

Hearing this teasing comment, they were startled for a moment, and quickly, all of them thought of Hu Xiaobei...

They knew that the current changes were all thanks to Hu Xiaobei, so indeed, they should express their gratitude to him...

Thinking this, they began looking around, but they couldn't find Hu Xiaobei anywhere!

Seeing them searching, Guo Meiyu softly said, "Stop looking, Hu Xiaobei went to the riverside with Manager Song Xue'er earlier!"

At this, all the women came to a realization!

Quickly, they turned to Guo Meiyu and teased her softly.

"Ah, why do I detect a sour scent in the air?"

"Yeah, I smell it too!"

"Looks like someone's feeling jealous!"

Faced with their teasing, Guo Meiyu quickly said, "What nonsense! I'm not jealous!"

"Really?"

"Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

After stamping her foot in a huff, Guo Meiyu walked away quickly!

Seeing this, they exchanged glances, and soon, they also left with their money, as many were planning to go to town to buy some good food and celebrate...

...

On Wang Dagui's side, everyone's expressions were extremely ugly!

They had failed once again, and it was a crushing defeat...

"Hu Xiaobei, you and I are irreconcilable enemies!"

In the midst of such a venomous growl, Wang Dagui heard footsteps, turned his head, and saw his wife Ye Lili coming towards him!

"Dagui! I just saw the women in the village happily walking home with money from behind the village. What's going on?"

Why did she have to bring up the worst thing!

Hearing Ye Lili's words made Wang Dagui's eyelids twitch, but he said nothing!

Not getting a response, Ye Lili got annoyed!

The next moment, she shouted, "Are you dead or something? I'm talking to you!"

"What the hell are you yelling for!"

Wang Dagui, still fuming, yelled back and then emotionlessly explained the whole situation again.

After listening, Ye Lili quickly said, "The medicinal herbs matured in just one day? Is... is that for real?"

Hearing the disbelief in her words, Wang Dagui let out a frustrated sigh, "Yeah! Who knows how that Hu Xiaobei did it!"

"What are you just sitting here for! Go and steal that method for me!"

"Do you think I don't want to? But can I beat him?"

Wang Dagui too was tempted to steal the cultivation method, but he knew he couldn't because he was no match for Hu Xiaobei!

Hearing Wang Dagui's helpless words, Ye Lili said directly, "Idiot, if you can't beat him, you can still deal with that Song Xue'er. If we get a hold of her, Hu Xiaobei will be like a rootless weed!"

"It's easy for you to say, but how?"

Wang Dagui also knew that dealing with Song Xue'er could be a solution, but the problem was he just couldn't do it!

Seeing Wang Dagui's clueless expression, Ye Lili thought he was really as good as deadwood, "Idiot, just make up any excuse, like his car damaging our village road or something! You're the village chief! We're on our own turf, you can just concoct an excuse, can't you?"

"Right!"

Wang Dagui's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this...

"Wife, you're the smart one!"

"Not that I'm smart, you're just too dumb!"

"Hehe!"

After chuckling, Wang Dagui glanced at the thugs and said, "Let's go, set up a checkpoint with me. We'll stop her! Then we'll see what she can do!"

"Yes!"

As they talked, they all stood up excitedly, and soon, everyone walked out in a grand procession...

...

Meanwhile, Hu Xiaobei and Song Xue'er walked back from the riverside to the car. Song Xue'er spoke up, "You know, in the future, not only will you need to help me grow Isatis root, but you'll also have to help me grow other medicinal herbs, got it?"

"Don't worry, as long as you're lacking any medicinal herbs on your side, I'll help you grow them, okay?"

"That's more like it!"

Satisfied with a smile, she saw all the staff had packed the medicinal herbs and said, "Alright then, I'm taking off!"

"Okay!"

Nodding readily, Hu Xiaobei waved goodbye, soon watching her and Song Feng leave together...

In the car, Song Feng glanced at Song Xue'er and asked, "Xue'er, what do you think about Hu Xiaobei?"

Hearing Song Feng's question, Song Xue'er's cheeks turned slightly red, "Grandfather, what are you implying?"

"Nothing much! Just asking! After all, you're not getting any younger, it's time to find a boyfriend!"

"I can't stand that big womanizer!"

Song Feng listened to Song Xue'er's insincere reply and chuckled. Just as he was about to ask more, he suddenly noticed the truck ahead come to a stop...
