Seeing the Chinese herbal seedlings come to life, the villagers who had not used pesticides rushed to Er Lengzi's house as if mad. But they never expected that the Chinese herbal fertilizer had run out!
Seeing the Chinese herbal seedlings in their fields almost dying, these people knelt before Er Zhu with clenched fists: "Benefactor, we were wrong, we were ignorant, we shouldn't have doubted you, please sell us some more fertilizer, okay?"
Some villagers grabbed Er Zhu's leg, while others held onto his clothes, begging with anxious faces.
If the whole village suffered a loss, Old Man Sun would definitely find a way. But now, the losses were all caused by them. Old Man Sun would definitely not help them find a solution, and this way, they would have to bear it themselves!
And this kind of price was something they could not afford!
These villagers regretted their actions to the point of their intestines turning green, especially the one who had just mocked Er Zhu. He was now crying uncontrollably.
"There was only one chance, and it's too late now."
Er Zhu let the villagers plead with him, his gaze thoughtful as he looked at the gradually wilting Chinese herbal seedlings, his brow furrowed.
He wanted to help them recover their losses, but they wouldn't listen. What could he do? He couldn't keep explaining things to these villagers all the time; he didn't have that much time!
"Benefactor, I beg you, please take pity on us, we truly know we were wrong!"
Hearing this, many villagers collapsed on the ground and burst into tears. Some villagers were still unwilling to give up and continued to plead.
Er Zhu didn't look at them. He continued to gaze at the slowly wilting Chinese herbal plants, his face expressionless.
Although he possessed the Heluo Divine Art, he hadn't cultivated it to a point where it could bring the dead back to life. Moreover, this was clearly the villagers' own fault!
"Old Man Sun, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving." Er Zhu shook off the villagers' hands and turned to leave.
The villagers wept heartbrokenly. Although Old Man Sun and the others felt pity, they didn't say anything.
After all, everything was their own doing!
After leaving Lihua Village, Er Zhu went to Liu Jinqiang's house. He forgave Er Lengzi, but he would never forgive Liu Jinqiang!
Even though he was Liu Yan's cousin!
At this moment, in the living room of the Liu family, Liu Jinqiang was animatedly telling a story to Liu Yan. He told it so well that an uninformed person would have thought he was telling the truth. But Liu Yan could tell at a glance that he was making it up!
And there was only one reason for him to make up stories: this kid had offended Er Zhu again and wanted her to plead with Er Zhu on his behalf!
"Cousin, I didn't expect this Wang Er Zhu to be so petty. So much time has passed, and he still wants revenge on me!"
Finally, when Liu Jinqiang felt he had said enough, he sighed and gently patted Liu Yan's shoulder, speaking with a wronged expression.
"Mmm, I'll try my best to mediate, but I can't guarantee success."
Liu Yan's eyes darted. She had initially intended to refuse directly, but then a brilliant idea struck her.
Since Liu Jinqiang wanted to put on an act, she would play along with him!
It would also be a good opportunity for Er Zhu to teach this idiot a lesson on behalf of his second uncle, and see if he would dare to offend Er Zhu again in the future!
"Really? Thank you so much, cousin. My father didn't raise you in vain!"
Liu Jinqiang wanted to say more, but he didn't expect Liu Yan to agree so quickly. He was so happy he could fly!
As expected, it's easier to get things done when you have connections. Once he got past this hurdle, he would find another opportunity for revenge!
No one in this world had ever snatched things from him and made him lose so much face!
Thinking of the scene at Lihua Village last time, Liu Jinqiang gritted his teeth in hatred!
"Mmm, I'll call Er Zhu over right now." Liu Yan, too lazy to watch his act, perfunctorily agreed and dialed Er Zhu's number.
"Young Master, that Wang Er Zhu is here!" Before Liu Yan could even finish dialing, the butler ran in, panting and reporting anxiously.
"Cousin, I'm counting on you this time. You must help me." Liu Jinqiang shot up and grabbed Liu Yan's hand, a trace of shock and panic flashing in his eyes.
He had expected Er Zhu to come, but he hadn't expected him to come so quickly!
This guy seemed to be even more capable than he had imagined!
But it didn't matter. His pillow person was his cousin, and with this relationship, he was sure to be safe!
"Okay." Liu Yan nodded slightly, subtly pulling her hand back. She tiptoed and craned her neck in anticipation.
A moment later, Er Zhu slowly walked in. When he saw Liu Yan, his brow furrowed, and his expression became somewhat stern.
"Cousin, hurry up and talk." Seeing Er Zhu's expressionless face, Liu Jinqiang shivered and urged her in a low voice.
"Er Zhu, I don't know what happened. Do whatever you want, don't worry about me."
Liu Yan nodded. Just as Liu Jinqiang thought Liu Yan would speak up for him, he was shocked to hear her say this.
"Liu Yan, do you even know who is closer to you and who isn't? This guy has many women outside, but I am your cousin!"
Liu Jinqiang instantly exploded. He pointed at Liu Yan and cursed angrily, his eyes bloodshot!
He had poured his heart out to Liu Yan, and he thought she believed him. But he never expected this woman to be playing along with him!
Liu Jinqiang cursed Liu Yan's ancestors eighteen generations in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word out loud.
After all, Er Zhu was the richest man in Willow Town!
"Heh, I'm not Er Zhu's pillow person anyway. What does it matter to me how many women he has outside? Besides, I don't lack a foolish cousin like you!"
Liu Yan sneered, a trace of loneliness flashing in her eyes. She retorted with some disappointment.
She wished she could be Er Zhu's pillow person, but Er Zhu had never given her that chance!
Therefore, it was wrong for Liu Jinqiang to ask her for help. And she didn't not want to help; she just couldn't!
"You... I... you guys!" Liu Jinqiang stammered in anger. He wanted to say something, but seeing Er Zhu's cold eyes, he couldn't utter a single word.
"I'm sorry, Brother Er Zhu. It was my petty-mindedness. I'll compensate for those losses. Please spare me for my cousin's sake."
Seeing that the tide had turned, Liu Jinqiang smiled obsequiously and bowed to Er Zhu, apologizing. However, his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.
Originally, he had planned to make Er Zhu suffer heavy losses, but he never expected that he would be the one to suffer heavy losses!
That patch of land, coupled with Er Zhu's losses and the villagers' losses, that... that would be millions!
The more Liu Jinqiang thought about it, the angrier he became, especially about the phone call he made to Er Lengzi last time. He was truly foolish to make that call; why couldn't he have just minded his own business and gotten caught red-handed!
"Fine, ten million, and I'll let you off."
Er Zhu didn't want to agree at first, but seeing Liu Yan and thinking of the crying villagers, he changed his mind.
