Chapter Ninety-Nine: There must be a misunderstanding.
Zhao Yue quickly understood, and the two of them hurriedly went out.
On the other side of the experimental field, Professor Yao looked at the seedlings that had been uprooted and was heartbroken. His eyes were bloodshot as he held the seedlings and slowly knelt down.
"Why? Why did you do this? Seedling cultivation is such an important thing! Why did you have to ruin it? Do you know how much grain the country would have gained if these seedlings had been successful? Oh dear, oh dear, how could you have destroyed it? Heavens above, I will not let you get away with this! I will definitely not let you get away with this!"
Professor Yao was so angry he almost fainted. These seedlings were the result of his hard work, as he and his students, along with senior professors from the county's agricultural research institute, repeatedly improving the soil according to its characteristics.
I was just thinking about how much the yield per acre would increase once these plants grew up. If it didn't work, we would have to improve them.
After everyone's hard work over such a long period of time, seeing the seedlings growing well, he was so happy that he almost slept in the field every day.
He never expected that something would be ruined in the time it takes to eat lunch. Everything was ruined, and he was heartbroken.
He had said a lot of harsh words, but the most important thing now was to remedy the situation quickly. He called on a few students to quickly pick out some seedlings that were not too badly damaged and gently plant them in the field.
He scooped up water again and watered the plants little by little, sweating profusely and wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve from time to time.
Those standing at the edge of the field looked at Professor Yao and felt the same way. They were all experienced farmers, and the crops in the field were their lifeline. Now someone was going to take away their lifeline. Wasn't this the same as murder?
The villagers who usually got along well now looked at Qiao Wangshu with hostility.
Xiang Congjun reached out and shoved Qiao Wangshu, his eyes filled with ruthlessness and disgust.
"It's all your fault. Ever since you came, we haven't had a single day of peace. You don't know anything, yet you still insisted on coming to our agricultural research institute to meddle. You even got in through connections. You're really something. Now look what you've done. Go, go, go, get out of here."
"Comrade Xiang, please don't do this. You can't hit her. My sister definitely didn't mean it. There might be some misunderstanding."
Xiang Congjun sneered, "Misunderstanding? Hehehe, there's no misunderstanding. You're her sister, of course you're on her side. Do you know how important the seedlings in the field are? If they grow and increase production, these are all grain seeds. Planting them next year will definitely allow the people to have more full meals. You've been with the Agricultural Research Institute for so long, don't you know?"
"I...I know, but Comrade Xiang, there must be some misunderstanding. My second sister would never do such a thing. When she was in Beijing, she often helped my grandparents and was very familiar with the work in the fields. She knows that seedling cultivation is important and would never do anything to damage the seedlings."
Qiao Nianyu blushed and argued with Xiang Congjun, showing no sign of backing down for a long time.
In the past, Qiao Wangshu would have thought the sun had risen in the west. She frowned and looked at Qiao Nianyu.
I couldn't believe her good intentions at all.
"Shut up, stop arguing. Instead of wasting time, why don't you help the teacher fix the seedlings and do some remedial work?"
Qiao Wangshu watched coldly for a while, and when she saw Professor Yao watering the newly planted seedlings, she quickly ran over to stop him.
"Wait a minute, you can't water the seedlings now. The seedlings have been damaged and are very vulnerable. Right now, you can only put the seedlings with soil clods into the holes, but don't bury them too deep. For the seedlings without soil clods, wet them with water first, poke a hole in the ground, and carefully plant them. Also, even a small stream of water won't be enough. It's best to use a spray bottle. This is the only way to effectively save the seedlings."
"Shut up! What do you know? If it weren't for you, the seedlings would still be doing just fine!"
"You're the one who should shut up. She's right, she's right. I was too hasty, too hasty. I was just thinking about planting the seedlings in the soil as soon as possible, and I completely forgot that the seedlings are fragile at this time. Come on, Yang Ping, get your junior brothers and sisters moving quickly."
"Okay, okay, teacher."
Qiao Wangshu also wanted to go and help, but Xiang Congjun pushed her away again.
"Get away from me, I don't need your fake kindness."
Qiao Nianyu quickly helped Qiao Wangshu up, "Second sister, are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Qiao Wangshu said, pushing her hand away.
Qiao Nianyu looked somewhat hurt, glanced at Qiao Wangshu with a hint of hesitation, then turned and went into the experimental field.
When Bai Chunyang arrived, he saw a group of people from the Agricultural Research Institute working in the fields, and Qiao Wangshu was standing anxiously at the edge of the field.
"Wang Shu, are you alright?"
"Sister, what brings you here? I'm fine. The seedlings are already being repaired, everything will be alright."
There was only a short time at noon, and only a small patch of the field was damaged. Everyone quickly cleaned it up. Professor Yao looked at the messy state of the field, his face still gloomy.
He couldn't understand why someone would target seedlings, no matter how deep the hatred or resentment.
If you're unhappy or have some insurmountable obstacle, can't you just fight it out?
Fighting is bad, but it lets you vent your anger. Once you've vented, the past is over!
Why did you have to ruin his seedlings?!
"Teacher, we can't let this go like this. If we let it go this time, who knows what this guy surnamed Qiao might do next time."
“That’s right, teacher. Our agricultural research institute doesn’t need her at all. We can do many things ourselves. Look at her doing odd jobs here, always causing trouble for us. It’s really annoying.”
"Teacher, can you say something?"
........
Professor Yao looked Qiao Wangshu up and down. If he had looked down on this girl before, it was because she got into the Agricultural Research Institute through connections. He originally thought that she would just slack off here, but she did all the dirty and hard work. Even when someone made things difficult for her, she didn't care at all.
He could tell that Qiao Wangshu genuinely enjoyed doing research, especially research on seedling cultivation.
Seeing so many people talking about Qiao Wangshu, Bai Chunyang pulled the person behind him.
"Impossible. Anyone here could sabotage the seedlings, except for Wang Shu. She once did it for..."
"Yes, my second sister would definitely not. Senior brother, fellow senior sisters and brothers, my second sister would definitely not. She used to help my grandparents cultivate seedlings. Even when I was admitted to the Agricultural Research Institute, my second sister helped me plant the new seedlings. She has no reason to do that."
Qiao Nianyu hurriedly interrupted Bai Chunyang, her face full of panic, afraid that she would reveal that the new seed that she had been admitted to the Agricultural Research Institute for was cultivated by Qiao Wangshu alone. If that happened, how could she stay at the Agricultural Research Institute?
