Chapter 76 Slander

The sunlight was slightly hot, and the air was as warm as roasted milk.

Zhao Feng came with his men. Before he got out of the car, a voice came from afar:

"Boss Ye, we are here with the lamb."

Dad Ye and Grandpa Ye came forward to help. The sheep looked timid, but they had strong limbs and good teeth. Grandpa Ye nodded with satisfaction.

Grandpa Ye drove a few lambs to the backyard. Thinking that the lambs would be hungry, he also brought a basket of wolfberry leaves that Grandma Ye had prepared to feed the rabbits.

When Dad Ye saw this, he wanted to say something but stopped himself. Before he could figure out how to stop them, Grandpa Ye had already left with the lamb.

Father Ye: “…” Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Feeding rabbits is the same as feeding sheep.

The worst that can happen is that one more person will feel sorry for him!

The group went straight to the slope, and after such a period of time, all kinds of vegetables grew more vigorously!

Sweet potato leaves, leeks, and hollow cucumbers grow one after another, hanging on vines like jadeite. There are many varieties of bright purple eggplants, some are round, some are thin, some are white, and some are purple...

Fiery red peppers hang close together, slender beans fall like waterfalls, and pointed okra grows in neat rows...

In addition, some fruits and vegetables are ripe. The round pumpkins are hidden under the leaves one by one. The winter melons are even more conspicuous, like millstones, and there are even a few big watermelons mixed in.

Zhao Feng felt like his eyes were not enough to see them all, because he knew how well these fruits and vegetables sold and how delicious they were.

Without saying much, the dozen or so people who were brought started to divide the work, with each person taking charge of an area and starting to pick the fruits.

This busy work took up half the afternoon. There were so many people working so fast. After weighing the fruits and vegetables and loading them onto the truck, deducting the cost of a few lambs, Ye Zhen made nearly three hundred thousand dollars.

The main reason is that melons take up too much weight and have high yields.

This is not over yet. Ye Zhen took Zhao Feng and the others to the foot of the back mountain to pick wolfberry leaves!

Ye's father and his friends were picking wolfberry leaves on the slope, and some close villagers also came to help.

Of course, when Ye Ma and the others found out that wolfberry leaves could also be sold, they regretted it so much that they wanted to go back and force the rabbits to vomit out how much they had fed them every day!

When he reached the back mountain, Zhao Feng's eyes lit up. There were long rows of tender and dark green wolfberries, with the unripe little fruits just poking their heads out. The air was fresh, the birds were singing crisply, and the gentle breeze brought the scent of the mountains and forests. He took a deep breath and felt as if his lungs were cleansed.

Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh:

"Boss Ye, the environment here at your home is really great, no wonder you can grow such high-quality fruits and vegetables."

Ye Zhen smiled modestly and did not respond. Zhao Feng did not care either. He asked someone to bring some things and started picking them.

There were so many wolfberry leaves in this field that after picking the tenderest ones on the slope, Ye's father and his friends came over to the mountain. They used up all the baskets that Zhao Feng brought, filling up several cars, but they still didn't pick all of them.

Zhao Feng deeply regretted not bringing enough food. There were still so many wolfberry leaves left. He would be heartbroken if he picked less.

There was really no more room, so after weighing the wolfberry leaves, nearly 100,000 yuan was deposited into the account, which made some villagers who came to help envious!

Especially the families to whom Ye's father gave wolfberry leaves, ever since they knew that the delicious wolfberry leaves could also be sold for money, they felt a little embarrassed and thought they were taking advantage of the Ye family, so they all came to help.

After all, Dad Ye had given a lot of money generously in the beginning, and these families were trying their best to help pick the fruits. After all, they were going to eat them, so this was the only way they could help.

Knowing that the Ye family had sold so many fruits and vegetables, they were envious but not petty and jealous. Now they just hoped that the strawberries in everyone's fields would have a good harvest and they could make some money.

When Zhao Feng and his party were about to drive away after having harvested so much, a high-pitched voice was heard:

"Hey! Wait, stop now!"

Everyone was wondering who had such a loud voice that scared them. When they turned around, they saw Zhang Shuiying's daughter-in-law Huang Xi'e rushing over with a cart of vegetables.

"Why are you leaving so fast? We still have some vegetables to harvest."

After taking two deep breaths, he put his hands on his waist and spoke to Zhao Feng:

"There are some vegetables that haven't been weighed yet, move them quickly!"

The completely informal tone left everyone confused. Zhao Feng took a bewildered look at the vegetables brought over by Zhang Shuiying's daughter-in-law. Not only were there many worm holes in the vegetables, but they were also not cleaned properly.

Not only was there a lot of dirt on it, but I also had no idea where the vegetables were picked from. They were wet and mixed with the dirt, and clumps of it were stuck to the roots of the vegetables.

Father Ye also reacted and frowned:

"Dayong wife, what are you doing?"

In their place, whoever they marry is called so-and-so's wife, or aunt. Zhang Shuiying's son is called Ye Yong, so she is usually called Dayong's wife. If they have a closer relationship, they will call her by her name. However, Ye's father has forgotten what Zhang Shuiying's daughter-in-law's name was.

“Selling vegetables!”

"I just picked it. There's still dirt on it. Look how fresh it is!"

The first sentence was said to Ye's father, and it sounded righteous and confident, while the second sentence was said to Zhao Feng, and it was very flattering.

Ye Zhen was also confused by this aunt. It was not what she thought.

You know what, it’s true!

Zhao Feng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Auntie, we have already collected all the vegetables and we really can't pack any more."

Zhao Feng thought they were from the same village. Hearing the way Ye's father addressed them, he guessed that the two families knew each other, so he spoke in a polite and tactful manner.

The quality of this vegetable is really too poor. There are so many worm holes on it that no small supermarket will buy it.

Zhang Shuiying's daughter-in-law didn't care.

"How many dishes do I have? You can just stuff them into the front seat."

These words made Father Ye's face darken. He wanted to speak, but Grandma Ye said rudely:

"Dayong wife, your dish doesn't look good. Not only is it not cleaned up properly, did you spill water on it?"

Zhang Shuiying's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes guiltily, but then she thought about how much money the Ye family had made today, and her discomfort disappeared in an instant. Her aunt spoke confidently:

"Don't talk nonsense! I just pulled these vegetables out of the ground. It's normal to have some mud on them. Aren't you the ones who bought the vegetables leaving? I'm afraid I won't be able to clean them up in time."

"I can only use water to wash away the mud, otherwise I will definitely clean it up more cleanly than yours."

The more she spoke, the more reasonable it became. Seeing that everyone was stunned by her words, Zhang Shuiying's daughter-in-law turned around and asked Zhao Feng proudly:

"I see you are the purchasing manager. Even though my vegetables are not cleaned properly, they are definitely delicious. I can tell from the worm holes that I didn't use any pesticides. Isn't this more reassuring?"

As he spoke, he looked at the vegetables loaded into the car, neatly arranged and clean, with emerald green leaves and brightly colored fruits. He added bitterly:

"Whose vegetables are so clean without pesticides? I tell you, you don't know how to grow crops. These vegetables are too neat, they must have been sprayed with pesticides."
