Upon hearing Wei Ruo’s voice, Shi Dayou came back to his senses and then said “To be frank with you Master Xu, I have actually been feeling that there is something wrong with the seedlings in this field during the last few days. I have been farming since I was three years old and in thirty-five years, I have become very familiar with how seedlings should grow at this time. Even the slightest irregularity, I can spot the difference.

Wei Ruo listened carefully to Shi Dayou’s words, without interrupting him.

Shi Dayou continued, “The way these seedlings are growing doesn’t feel quite right, but for now, I can’t be certain if there’s a problem. After hearing what Master Xu just said, my suspicion has become more of a certainty.

It turned out that not only Wei Ruo had suspicions, but Shi Dayou held the same opinion.

We Ruo’s gaze towards Shi Dayou changed, a touch of admiration appearing in his eyes.

“Have you not considered changing the seedlings?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Well even though I’m the village chief, making this decision is hard. What if my judgment is wrong, won’t I be making the villagers work in vain? Moreover, changing seedlings at this point may affect this year’s rice production, and everyone is looking forward to a good harvest from this batch.” Shi Dayou was torn and distressed over the matter.

“I have a batch of late-season rice seeds on my hands, planting them late won t affect the yield, and these seeds are highly resistant to diseases and pests. They are more resilient and have a higher yield than ordinary rice seeds.” Wei Ruo said to Shi Dayou.

“Really? Are there such rice seeds?” Shi Dayou looked at Wei Ruo in both surprise and delight.

Master Xu had his own lands and was a successful business, so there was no reason for him to joke about such matters. Hence, his words were indeed likely to be true.

“Yes, I have planted these seeds on my own land, and they are growing well now These seeds are not strict about the timing of planting, they can grow well whether planted early or late, and it’s not too late to plant them now.” Wei Ruo further explained to Shi Dayou.

After listening to Wei Ruo’s description, Shi Dayou didn’t reply immediately.

With a conflicted look on his face, he cautiously asked Wei Ruo after a moment, “Are these seeds from Master Xu very expensive?”

“I will give them to the villagers for free.” Wei Ruo said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Dayou looked amazed, “Give…give them to us?”

Wei Ruo nodded, “Consider it as some benefits for your villagers since I bought the land in Stone Village.”

“But Master Xu, you have already paid us silver.

“I know, but didn’t the village chief just say that if I needed your help, you would help me? In return for your kindness, it is only natural that I also treat you better.”

“But I just said that casually, we haven’t actually helped you with anything yet…”

“While that might be true for now, you have shown your willingness. Should there be any problems with my brewery in the future, I hope you and the villagers could lend me a hand.” Wei Ruo said.

“We will, we will, rest assured Master Xu!” Shi Dayou responded.

Wei Ruo nodded, “As for the seedlings, I merely wanted to give you a heads up. The final decision is still in your hands. Whether to change the seedlings or not is something you and the villagers should discuss, I won’t get involved.”

“Okay, I understand.” Shi Dayou replied.

“in that case, I won’t disturb the village chief any longer. I will take my leave now.” With that, Wei Ruo got up to leave.
