Chapter 185: The Old Vinegar is Controlled

He Jinglan was already laughing her head off in her heart, but she had to look innocent on the surface.

"What do you mean by Hu people? They have names. When did you become so vulgar in your speech?"

Jealous! Jealous! Eat as much as you can!

It’s best to finish a whole jar of aged vinegar, it will be so sour that you will lose all your rationality!

He Jinglan looked at Mu Nanzhao's expression and continued to add fuel to the fire, "In fact, to be fair, what's wrong with Boss An? He's good-looking, has a good figure and good temperament, and he's rich and capable."

"Most importantly, Boss An's family is also a large landowner who farms. He also runs a fruit tree and seedling business. He and Xixi will definitely have no shortage of topics to talk about in their daily chats."

"Also, my Xixi just wants to farm well and live a stable and prosperous life. Boss An can give her all of these."

"Enough!" Mu Nanzhao interrupted He Jinglan coldly.

"Are you a matchmaker? I don't have time to listen to you listing all his good points!"

He Jinglan blinked, "So what do you want to hear?"

She was suddenly startled and raised her hand to cover her mouth. "Are you... blaming me for not trying to get Xixi and you married as soon as possible?"

A suspicious redness appeared behind Mu Nanzhao's ears, but it was quickly suppressed by his secret luck.

"You think too much. I just came to tell you that the current situation is unstable. Don't make trouble for no reason and wish for chaos in the world."

After saying that, Mu Nanzhao turned away.

He Jinglan was not angry when she was warned. Instead, she looked at Mu Nanzhao's back and smiled slyly.

No matter how cruel the words were, he didn't deny it...

As He Jinglan walked towards the front yard, she thought happily, watching Mu Nanzhao, the cold-faced official who never cared about other people's lives, chasing his wife with tears and snot, wasn't it more interesting than watching all the opera troupes in the capital combined?

If you can witness it with your own eyes, your life will be worth it!

Gu Xixi woke up from her nap, quickly drank a cup of tea and was ready to go out again.

The tea that An Qinghe and Aunt Zhang fried together was pretty good. At least it wasn’t burnt and the tea aroma was retained.

When Gu Xixi stood up, she looked at He Jinglan and An Qinghe who had already stood up, "I'm going to take a walk in my own wheat field and then I'll be back. There's nothing interesting to see today, so don't follow me."

The two wanted to object.

Gu Xixi arranged everything one by one. "Jinglan, you stay at home and watch Shitou do his homework. If our family has a scholar in the future, you will have contributed a lot."

"Brother An, haven't you been observing the Pinellia trees in our village recently and recording the data? Keep doing it, there is a future."

In this way, Gu Xixi successfully left the two followers behind and went to the wheat field alone.

By early summer, the wheat has been grafted, and the densely packed wheat ears are large and pleasing to the eye.

But after Gu Xixi passed the first piece of land and walked a long way, she didn't see any of her employees.

It's supposed to be our routine weeding today, so why is no one here now?

Gu Xixi believed that the workers would not be lazy, and thinking that something might have happened, she quickened her pace and went forward to look for it.

After walking for a while, I heard a noise coming from deep in the wheat field.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

"Gu Xixi is so cunning. She taught you how to trick me like this! She put the bucket of fertilizer water on the ground and deliberately let me use it to water the ground. She did it to harm me!"

Judging from the voice, it is undoubtedly Master Gu.

A young hired worker retorted, "You used it to water the fields? You obviously stole it."

"Every time we went to the toilet while we were eating, you ran away with the bucket without even asking us!"

"The thief is looking for the person who lost the item to punish. This is so strange. It really opened our eyes!"

Master Gu was so angry that he said, "Who am I calling a thief? If you have the guts, report me to the police and let them arrest me!"

"I have been watering the fields for a month or so, but look at the wheat ears now! Why are Gu Xixi's wheat ears so many and big? Mine are dry and small, not as good as the ones I used to make with my own manure in previous years!"

"Isn't this evidence obvious enough? You must have deliberately put the things in the bucket to fool me. Gu Xixi's secret recipe for growing crops is not in it!"

"I have been badly tricked by you this time. I want to go to court to appeal for justice. Gu Xixi even plotted against her own second grandfather. She must give me an explanation!"

Gu Xixi sighed and walked into the wheat field. "What does Second Grandfather want to say?"

I thought this was just a casual trip, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to go back for a while.

When he heard Gu Xixi's voice, Master Gu was startled and his arrogance temporarily subsided a little.

Gu Xixi lowered her eyes and saw a field of trampled wheat on the ground, and her expression instantly turned cold.

"Old Chen, was all this done by Master Gu?"

Chen Dafu came over and said, "I saw it with my own eyes."

Other hired workers also said, "We just heard the noise and rushed over, and saw this old guy stomping and kicking like a mad dog, and even pulling out the wheat ears with his hands."

"If I hadn't stopped him, I don't know how much more he would have abused me!"

Gu Xixi said, "This is the land that Lao Chen has claimed. Please record the total number of wheat plants. After the summer harvest, I will make up for the loss of Lao Chen's share."

The employees were moved, thinking that the boss was really honest!

Chen Dafu thanked, "It's not much actually. The boss doesn't have to give me any extra money."

Gu Xixi said, "No matter how much it is, it's all your hard work, how can you just let it go like this?"

"If you don't want compensation..."

Gu Xixi looked at Master Gu with a fierce look in her eyes, "Will anyone dare to come to my house and make a scene tomorrow?"

Master Gu shrank back, and his arrogance dropped even further.

He tried to act like an elder and said, "Xixi girl, you can't turn the tables."

"Look at what has become of my wheat. Even with the fertilizer and water you prepared, the yield is at least 20% lower than in previous years!"

"I may have knocked down a few of your wheat plants, but that can't offset the loss to my family. You still have to compensate me!"

Gu Xixi laughed out loud, "Compensation? Master Gu is really dreaming."

Master Gu's face turned pale, "You framed me, aren't you afraid that I will sue you in court?"

"Okay," Gu Xixi said with a relaxed smile, "Go ahead and sue now."

"But seeing that you are old, I would like to kindly remind you that there is nothing wrong with the fertilizer I prepared."

"But in addition to these, I have a variety of other methods to use in conjunction with them, and they must be applied at different times to make the wheat tall and strong."

"You only stole some of the remaining fertilizer and used it during the critical period of wheat grafting. It will only have the opposite effect and make the wheat malnourished."

The hired hands were fascinated by what they heard.

This is why the boss arranges them to do things step by step, and each step cannot be advanced or postponed.

It turns out that farming is a science.

Even those who followed their employer's instructions on farming did not dare to say that they had fully learned it.

Chen Dafu looked at Master Gu and said sarcastically, "It seems that this is entirely his own fault."

He bowed to Gu Xixi and said, "Boss, do you think we should report to the police as well?"

"After all, you worked hard to prepare those fertilizers, and the cost, time and expense were really not small."

"Why not charge him with theft?"
