Chapter 30 Chen Xinghe is stunned, Wang Ergou steals potatoes
Wang Ergou has been in a gloomy mood recently.
Ever since he failed to buy a wife and had his hand broken by Xiao Ying, he completely hated her and was thinking about how to take revenge every day.
As a result, I heard that the evil woman hunted wild boars and sika deer, bought an ox cart, and redeemed Chen Xingyue.
Not only that, later I heard that he bought land to grow crops and started a potato business.
He must have made a lot of money and was very proud of himself, and the hatred in his heart became even deeper.
Why can that evil woman make so much money while he, Wang Ergou, can only be bullied?
Humph, why did you show off in front of him today? It's really hateful.
The thought suddenly struck him that he wanted to see what kind of potatoes the evil woman was growing.
While no one was paying attention, he used the excuse of going to the toilet and secretly followed Xiao Ying and the others.
Then I saw Xiao Ying's family digging a hole, planting something the size of an egg into the soil, and then filling it up with soil.
Chen Xingyue followed behind with a bucket of water, watering the crops, which looked similar to planting wheat.
"Can this thing really be sold for thirty coins per pound?"
Wang Ergou was half-believing and half-doubting, but suddenly he had an idea.
Since it is sold at such a high price, wouldn’t he be rich if he dug up the ones planted by Xiao Ying and sold them?
With such a large field, he should be able to grow at least several dozen kilograms of crops, right? He could sell them for at least a few hundred coins!
Humph, that evil woman deserves retribution for breaking his hand.
As long as you are careful, no one will find out. By then, that evil woman will be furious when she sees that the seeds inside have long been gone and it doesn't sprout.
The thought of the other party being so angry that he was fuming gave him a twisted excitement.
After observing for a while and confirming that the other party could grow at least 20 to 30 kilograms today, he excitedly rubbed his hands and left.
Come dig them tonight when the moon is dark and the wind is strong, and go to the town to sell them early tomorrow morning. Maybe you can get a tael of silver!
He would wait until that evil woman had planted the seeds tomorrow, and then come back tomorrow night to dig them up. He would not leave a single one behind, so that he could get rid of the hatred in his heart.
"Um?"
Just as Wang Ergou was leaving, perhaps because he was too excited, he made a lot of noise, which made Xiao Ying a little confused.
She saw a dark blue figure instantly sink into the jungle and then disappear. It looked like a man.
His brows furrowed slightly. Was someone secretly observing them just now?
It must be someone from the village.
After a little thought, she understood the reason.
I guess her previous words moved people and made them want to see what potatoes look like or how to grow them.
Or maybe, I had some thoughts that I shouldn’t have.
Her eyes grew colder. The first two were fine, but if anyone wanted to take her potatoes, don't blame her for being ruthless.
…
When Xiao Ying returned home after planting potatoes, Chen Xinghe and Liu Zhao, who were studying at the academy, also returned home.
Liu Zhao was very disappointed that he didn't buy potato pancakes and Tiancan potatoes today, so he waited to go home in the evening to see if his family had bought them.
"Dad, I'm back."
He was jumping all the way, still in a mess.
Liu Cong was already unhappy today, and he became even more angry when he saw him like this.
"Stop right there! How old are you? You don't have any sense of steadiness or understanding at all. What kind of person are you? Where have you been reading all this?!"
Liu Zhao was stunned. His father seemed a little angry today, so he quickly behaved himself and put away his playful smile.
"Dad, did someone make you angry?"
He rubbed Liu Cong's shoulders and back like a bootlicker, but Liu Cong glared at him unhappily and got angry when he mentioned this matter.
"It's all because of that idiotic uncle of yours! I told him yesterday to get in touch with the potato lady early today, but he didn't take it seriously at all."
"It wasn't until the owner of Manxiang Garden and that lady came to me to sign the contract that I realized I had been beaten to the punch."
Having said that, he suddenly looked at Chen Xinghe who was standing quietly beside him, and his expression suddenly softened.
"Xinghe, do you know who that potato-selling lady is?"
Chen Xinghe was slightly stunned. Could it be that the master knew that they had sneaked out of the academy to buy potatoes today?
No, if he had known, he would have beaten Liu Zhao long ago.
So why did he ask this question? Was he familiar with that woman?
"Master, Xinghe doesn't know."
He shook his head and answered honestly.
Liu Cong couldn't help but smile, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
"That lady is your mother. Your mother's snack business is very successful. Today, Manxiang Garden took a fancy to her, and the owner went there in person to discuss cooperation."
"Two recipes and three thousand kilograms of potatoes, your mother sold them for over a hundred taels of silver."
Chen Xinghe was suddenly stunned. The master was talking about his mother?
That selfish and gambling-loving evil woman actually has such ability?
He thought about it over and over again and felt that it was impossible. He knew that woman too well and there was no way she could do such a thing.
"Master, you are not mistaken, it is really my mother?"
He still couldn't believe it and thought there might be some misunderstanding.
Liu Cong smiled and said, "I just saw you a few days ago, so I wouldn't mistake you. Besides, your brothers and sisters are here too."
"I was also very surprised when I first learned about this. I felt that she seemed a little different from before."
Chen Xinghe was stunned. It seemed that it was really that woman. He also felt that she was different from before.
He had this feeling when the other party came to redeem him that day, but he didn't think too deeply about it.
Now thinking about it again, I find more things wrong.
There's something wrong with his mother.
After returning to his room, he sat there thinking for more than an hour, which resulted in him not sleeping well all night.
Maybe he should find some time to go back and take a look.
But when he thought about how he had just refused to be redeemed a few days ago and couldn't bring himself to do it, he could only take it one step at a time.
…
Xiao Ying naturally didn't know what happened in the mayor's house, nor did he care what Chen Xinghe would think.
Ever since the other party rejected her that day, she treated her son as if he were not there.
At night, after the children fell asleep, she quietly left the yard and went straight to the two acres of low-quality fields.
There was no moon tonight and it was very dark. She went to the field and checked it first, and only felt relieved after confirming that it had not been moved.
However, it was still early, just a little after the hour of Hai, and she planned to wait here, so she went straight into the Immortal Palace.
There is nothing to be busy with in the Immortal Palace recently, and her cultivation progress has also been faster. If everything goes well, she will be able to enter the second level of Qi Refining tonight.
Once she reaches the second level of Qi Refining, she will be able to learn spells, and then she will be even stronger.
She was also thinking about one thing. When she entered the first level of Qi Refining, the space was upgraded. She didn't know if it would be upgraded again after entering the second level of Qi Refining.
It would be great if it rises again.
I had just finished two cycles of meditation in the wooden house when I was suddenly awakened by a burst of obscene laughter.
Xiao Ying suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside, and saw a black shadow sneaking into the field, chuckling.
After a closer look, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, Wang Ergou, who broke his hand on the first day she came to this world.
Wang Ergou was carrying a backpack, grinning sinisterly and muttering dirty words to her.
"This evil woman really planted quite a lot. Humph, I didn't expect that all of them would be so cheap for me."
"I'm going to dig up all this land tonight, and you evil woman can just wait and cry."
As he said this, he picked up the hoe and started digging. Every time he dug, he found a potato.
Wang Ergou quickly picked them up and took a closer look, but unfortunately it was too dark and he couldn't see anything. After a while, he dug out five or six pieces.
He dug more and more excitedly, not knowing that Xiao Ying had already noticed him.
Xiao Ying had a blank expression on her face, only a hint of coldness in her eyes. The dagger in her hand flashed, but she quickly put it back.
With a thought, he instantly appeared behind Wang Ergou and slapped him on the back of the head.
