“Those who have come here so quickly must have done so because Zhuang Ruman went to them. They must have the same thought as me, quickly seeking out Uncle Village Chief.”

“So, that’s how it is.” Zhuang Jingye suddenly understood.

“Yes, that’s how it is.” Zhuang Dali laughed. “Uncle Village Chief, you carry on. I’m going home to get busy.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Watching Zhuang Dali walk away, Zhuang Jingye began to pace in the courtyard and spat on the ground: “He truly can’t change his nature, just when he seemed to have learnt his lesson last time, he’s stirring up trouble again. Now, he’s even plotting against me. How bold!”

“This time, I must teach Zhuang Ruman a lesson. I can’t let my position as Village Chief down!”

Zhuang Jingye shouted angrily, storming out.

“Eh, the Master…” Mrs. Ye called out from behind.

Zhuang Ruman is indeed annoying and should be taught a lesson. But if Zhuang Jingye confronts him in such a temper, he might act recklessly. Most importantly, he must ensure that his plans don’t backfire.

Mrs. Ye rushed out, intending to bring Zhuang Jingye back first, to think well about how to deal with Zhuang Ruman. They need a perfect plan, so he doesn’t end up hurt and empty-handed in a fit of rage.

But as soon as she stepped out, she saw Zhuang Jingye briskly returning, he entered the courtyard with a gloomy face and sat down. He picked up the noodles that still had some sauce left and swiftly finished them.

“Why did you come back?” Mrs. Ye asked, somewhat curious.

“Now is not the right time.” Zhuang Jingye said. “You see, Zhuang Ruman is trying to ruin our beans behind our backs. But he failed to consider that others aren’t fools. The families he visited, are not even waiting for our beans to sprout. This is good news for us.”

“Let Zhuang Ruman carry on with his mischief, indirectly helping us. After everyone is using our new beans, Zhuang Ruman will realize that all his bitter words have only helped us, he will be furious.”

“Better still if this makes him so angry he can’t even stand up straight. When it’s time to harvest and the others are having a good yield while he is not, let him suffer an additional blow!”

“Once I finish with this work on the beans, I will find an opportunity to deal with him properly and get my satisfaction.”

Zhuang Jingye said indignantly.

Mrs. Ye blinked.

This was indeed a good idea. When Zhuang Ruman finds that others are reaping what he intended to destroy, he would be so mad he’d want to hit a wall. It would be better than Zhuang Jingye directly confronting him now.

And if Zhuang Jingye confronts him now, Zhuang Ruman might feel his actions did the trick and become smug about it.

“Better let him quietly gloat for a few days, then watch him deflate once everyone starts growing their beans. That would be more satisfying.”

Mrs. Ye was overjoyed and brewed a fresh pot of tea for Zhuang Jingye. “That is right. Let him have his fun jumping up and down these few days, we just need to focus on distributing the beans.”

“That’s right!” Zhuang Jingye nodded enthusiastically.

Zhuang Qingning, oblivious to all these, returned home after her stop at the big tung tree. She prepared a simple clay pot rice meal for lunch then went to Mrs. He’s house in the afternoon to collect the mosquito repellent herbal sachets.

“Zhuang Qingning, you came at just the right time.” Mrs. He beamed. “I had just finished making these. I’d kept the needle and thread ready, thinking that If you didn’t come to pick it up, I would deliver it to you.”

“Have a look, how did they turn out?”

Mrs. He fetched a bamboo basket containing the finished herbal sachets. They were evenly sized with drawstrings at the opening, aesthetically pleasing and practical to use. The stitching was careful and neat. Overall, they were impressive.

“This is exactly what I wanted.” Zhuang Qingning picked up a sachet and sniffed it. She smiled and asked, “Auntie, did you use it last night? How was it? Did it work well?”

“I was just going to tell you about that.”

Mentioning this made Mrs. He visibly excited. “The herbal sachets are really effective. I placed two or three around my bedroom last night and even put one beside my bed. I didn’t heard any buzzing, and I woke up without any mosquito bites..”
