Chapter 85: Indiscriminate Blessing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Who cares about the others? Our village is famous for being rich. I’m afraid that if anything happens, we’ll be the first to be targeted,” Someone said pessimistically.
The crowd quieted down at once and looked at Jiang Xi in unison. The people who had just attacked her because she wanted to stop farming could not help but ask for her opinion at this moment.
“There’s no need to guard. Go and bring me a square stone and take down the plaque of our village.” Jiang Xi’s expression became strange. In her past life, she had caused a massive population explosion in the mental hospital. It was at that time that she ousted the director and started to dominate the mental hospital. It was also because of that time that the mental hospital had inexplicably established the second school, which was donated by an outsider! This was because there were too many people who begged to be admitted to the mental hospital. Some even squatted at the entrance in the middle of the night, begging to be taken in! As a last resort, they could only open a second hospital to take in these patients who came to their doorstep. In the end, the mental hospital even received a lot of pennants gloriously. A designated hospital for infertility!
The treatment of infertility was a topic that no one dared to mention in the mental hospital. In the end, the mental hospital even appeared on a television program approaching science. A large group of white-bearded old men studied it every day and felt that the magnetic field of the mental hospital had changed people’s physique, which was why they got pregnant when they went in.
The people in the mental hospital knew the truth. Although they knew the truth, they had never told anyone because no one would believe them even if they did! In the era of science, who would believe in a charm speak?! Of course, more importantly, they did not dare to offend Jiang Xi. If even a mentally unstable person was afraid of her, it showed how terrifying Jiang Xi was! She was simply using all her good fortune to the extreme, a typical example of not using her hands if she could use her mouth!
Now, was Jiang Xi going to use this trick against the bandits and refugees who might attack Happy Village in the future? These people came over arrogantly, planning to threaten and rob the food and houses of the Happy Village. Not only did they not manage to get the food and houses, but they also left with big bellies. It was just that the poor people of the Happy Village were probably about to usher in a wave of fertility fever. Regardless of friend or foe, a crazy tide of bestowing children to some of the older people would be happening! It was a blessing without discrimination!
The first thing Jiang Xi did was to change the name of Happy Village. There was a stone in the place where the plaque of Happy Village was placed, which read ‘child-giving stone’. It meant that anyone who entered the village would be given a child. It was said that the men were silent and the women were in tears. It was fine if the women came and left with a big belly, but what about the men? The villagers of Happy Village did not know what the stone meant either. They often muttered to others that their newly appointed village chief was crazy.
Besides, the stone was strange. It was just an ordinary stone when Jiang Xi did not write anything on it. However, when she moved it out of her room, it was slightly warm and did not cool down even in the cold snow. Many villagers touched it curiously and said that it was a strange stone.
A month later, it was snowing heavily, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow. The ground creaked when one stepped on it, and the price of food rose crazily. The villagers of the Happy Village sat together and discussed.
“I heard that the price of food has gone crazy. Many people in the town are lining up overnight to buy food. The price changes every day. I heard that the price has increased three times a day. Some people even fight because the price has increased too fast.”
“The people in the town can’t farm, so they can only go around to buy food. Fortunately, we have a good harvest this year, so we should be able to survive this disaster.”
Several women had nothing to do, so they took some wool and went to find Yang Fen. On the surface, they were knitting sweaters together, but in fact, they were just trying to find out what Yang Fen wanted.
“Recently, more and more people have come to our village to collect grain. Everyone around us knows that our village is the richest.” When Jiang Xi came out of the room, she happened to hear the women discussing. “Fortunately, Jiang Xi is in our village and doesn’t allow anyone to sell food. You don’t know about it, right? Your nephew, Yang Kun’s family sold a few carts of food for money, and I don’t know if the remaining food is enough for them to survive this winter. Moreover, his wife’s belly is growing so fast. They’ve only been married for three or four months, and it’s already bulging.”
