These people were looking at Wei Ruo with hostility.
The several Madams who witnessed this scene revealed expressions of surprise on their faces.
Seeing the villagers before her filled with hostility toward her, Wei Ruo explained again, "Your rice seedlings may have been affected by the pestilence disease. They show symptoms consistent with it: the blades and sheaths of the leaves are elongated, leaf colors are yellowish, internodes are larger than normal, and the nodes have some curvature showing outside the sheaths. If not treated in time, this will affect your harvest this year. There's still time to replace the seedlings and cultivate anew."
"Nonsense, you're trying to scare us! What pestilence disease? From where did you hear of this?" The elder who had spoken first asked angrily.
"I read about it in a book on farming." Wei Ruo answered.
