Chapter 241 People from the next village came to ask Wei Ruo for help.
Mr. Xu not only helped them so much, but also gave them such a good opportunity. He must seize it well.
"Yeah." Wei Ruo nodded.
Wei Ruo was leaving Stone Village after talking to Shi Dayou.
However, when we walked to the entrance of Stone Village, we met a large group of people, dozens of them, including men, women, old and young.
Wei Ruo didn't recognize these people. Judging from their clothes, they should be farmers nearby.
"Mr. Xu, please help us!"
As soon as they met, these people begged Wei Ruo, and they also flocked to Wei Ruo.
Xiumei took a step forward and stood in front of Wei Ruo: "If you have something to say, talk to me, don't come close to me!"
Shi Dayou also took a step forward and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, calm down. If you have something to say, let's stand far away! "
Shi Dayou recognized that these people came from Xiaoxi Village next door to them. There was a mountain across from their village. If you walked around the foot of the mountain, it would only take half an hour to get there.
Xiumei's scolding and Shi Dayou's words had a certain effect. These people stopped, stepped back a few words, and put some distance between them and Wei Ruo.
Then these people began to explain their purpose:
"We are here to ask Mr. Xu for help. The seedlings in our fields are all dead, and now the new ones can't be made in time!" "Yes,
yes, we heard that Mr. Xu is here." There is a way to help us!"
"Mr. Xu, please do it and save us! We won't be able to eat this year!" "
..."
A group of people spoke together, chattering, and Wei Ruo listened for a while. Only then did she roughly understand what they meant. Their seedlings were dead and they came to ask her for help.
Although Wei Ruo did not remember the faces of these people, but listening to their accounts, he knew that they had been persuaded by Wei Ruo before but did not listen to Wei Ruo's words.
Because Wei Ruo visited nearby farmland at that time and found those with bakanae disease, and tried to persuade them to replant rice seedlings.
Those who listened to Wei Ruo's words must have changed the seedlings by now, and those who still come to beg Wei Ruo now must have not listened at the time.
Wei Ruo looked at these people and said loudly: "Be quiet."
After Wei Ruo shouted, everyone stopped and looked at Wei Ruo.
Seeing that the noisy voice was gone, Wei Ruo answered everyone bluntly:
"I already told you what I should say at the time. If we don't plant the seedlings again, it will be too late when something goes wrong. So now this situation has happened, It's useless for you to beg me again."
After hearing this, the crowd in front of them immediately retorted:
"How can there be no way? We have all heard that you gave Shitou Village a batch of very good rice. It is said that rice can be grown even if it is planted late, and the yield is still high!" "
Yes, yes, you obviously have rice seeds! You can help us!" "
Mr. Xu, if there is no harvest this year, we will But we are all going to starve to death! You can't be so cruel and don't care whether we live or die!" "...
"
However, these people who came to Wei Ruo firmly believed that Wei Ruo had a way to help them.
"Sorry, I can't help you." Wei Ruo replied.
"Mr. Xu, you are refusing to save me! How can you be so cruel? You want to watch us all die in front of you!" An old man leaned on a cane and knocked on the ground several times. .
"Yes, how can you be so cruel! Our children are still so young, how can you bear to see them starve to death!" The woman held her children in her arms with a resentful expression on her face. "Mr. Xu, we all know that you helped Stone Village, and you can't hide it! Please stop lying to us." A strong man shouted with a hoe.
Although news was not developed in ancient times, there was no shortage of people who could spread the news. The news that Shitou Village had recently lived a good life with the help of a "rich businessman" had spread in several nearby villages.
Xiaoxi Village is close to Shitou Village, so the villagers naturally heard about these things, and they also heard that the wealthy businessman Mr. Xu was a very generous and kind-hearted man who gave various benefits to Shitou Village. Now the villagers of Shitou Village not only have rice seedlings, If you sow well, you will get other money, and your life will be very good, which makes others envious.
Although Wei Ruo didn't know how these people knew they had late rice seeds in their hands, but faced with several people's requests, Wei Ruo said: "If you want late rice seeds, that's fine. I can help you inquire about where to buy late rice seeds." You can just buy it at the market price. As for whether it’s too late to grow seedlings after buying it now, I don’t know.”
After hearing Wei Ruo’s words, the expressions of everyone in Xiaoxi Village immediately dropped.
"Mr. Xu, why do you care about our money for rice seeds when you are so rich?"
"Yes, that's right, and you didn't ask for money from Shitou Village. Why do you want money from us?" "
Mr. Xu, you are a good person. Do it to the end. You have already helped the people of Stone Village, so why don't you help us again. We will be as grateful to you as the people of Stone Village for the rest of our lives!" "..." Wei Ruo remained unmoved and his attitude was clear
:
" It's my business who I want to give it to. Rice seeds don't fall from the sky. They are sold for money. If you want it, just use the money to buy it." "This...how can we have money? How can
we have money like this? I can't live anymore!"
"That's right, I can't even eat. Where can I 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? That's our life!"
"Mr. Xu, just be a good person and do it to the end. Please help us. I will take the children to kowtow to you!" "..."
Wei
Ruo listened to the words of several people, still expressionless: " Don’t you know that I am a businessman? Businessmen only want to make money, who cares whether you live or die? When did I say that I am a good person? "
Several people who were about to kneel down and kowtow to Wei Ruo were immediately stunned.
"But... but you're not helping Stone Village..."
"It's about everyone getting what they need. They are working for me, and I pay them. You haven't helped me make money. Why do I care about your life and death?" Wei If asked.
With Wei Ruo's temper, she is willing to take the initiative to help those in need, but if they take the initiative to ask her to do good deeds, her rebellious psychology will come up, and she will be a bad person instead of the good person they say!
After Wei Ruo finished speaking, everyone in Xiaoxi Village was dumbfounded.
After a brief daze, the villagers of Xiaoxi Village gathered around Wei Ruo again:
"Mr. Xu, you can't be so unwilling to save me!"
"Mr. Xu, you helped Shitou Village, and you should also help us! "
You are rich and don't lack such a small amount of money!"
"Mr. Xu, if you don't agree to help us today, we will kneel down until you agree!" "
..."
He said he was begging, but everyone swarmed up and surrounded Wei Ruo. Like he was trying to force her to help.
The author did not abandon the trap, but it was sunburned and burned repeatedly for several days.
