Chapter 38: Manxiangyuan is doing something bad, Xiao Ying finds chili peppers
Chen Tong quickly came to the wing room and was both happy and nervous when he learned that he was going to meet the young master.
As soon as he entered the door, he lowered his head and was very humble.
"Chen Tong has met the young master."
"Yeah." Zhou Tianci glanced at him and asked calmly, "Xiao Ying is your second sister-in-law?"
Chen Tong was stunned. The young master was actually asking about that woman?
But he didn't dare to delay and immediately replied: "Go back to the young master's house, Xiao Ying is my second sister-in-law."
"Then do you know where his potatoes come from?"
"No, I don't know... I've been working as an accountant in town, and I haven't seen her for a long time."
Chen Tong felt a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would have gone back more often.
Zhou Tianci was indeed not satisfied and asked again, "Does anyone else in your family know where the potatoes came from?"
Chen Tong broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, not daring to answer.
Zhou Tianci waved his hand, and Yu Qian quickly signaled to Chen Tong to leave.
Chen Tong was even more upset as he had ruined the opportunity to show off in front of the young master.
"Young Master, what do you think about this matter..." Yu Qian asked with an apologetic smile.
"I must get the potatoes." Zhou Tianci's face became serious and he said in a deep voice, "Since she was able to dig up so much soil in the mountains, there can't be no trace at all."
"If we can find the source of potatoes, we won't have to spend money to buy them from her."
Yu Qian was stunned. What did the young master want to do?
"Yang Huai, go and find out where that woman got the potatoes. She won't give up on such a lucrative business and will definitely go back into the mountains."
A sneer appeared on Zhou Tianci's lips. Potatoes are very profitable, but if he doesn't have to spend money to buy them, wouldn't he be able to make more?
She was just an ordinary village woman, and it was a blessing for her to find potatoes and contribute two recipes.
"Yes, sir, I'll go to Chenjia Village now."
The man behind him immediately took the order.
This man is a bodyguard specially hired by the Zhou family. Although his martial arts skills are not very good, he can easily deal with seven or eight ordinary people.
If he were to target an ordinary village woman, it would be easy to capture her.
…
Xiao Ying didn't know that because her potatoes were selling so well, she was being targeted.
The next morning, she went into the mountains alone, hoping to hunt a few big ones to provide as a snack for the builders.
She carried a backpack and told her three children to stay at home and bring some water if anyone sent building materials. The three children obeyed her instructions.
Chen Xinghai originally wanted to go with her. After a period of treatment, his foot has improved a lot and it is expected to be healed in a few days.
But Xiao Ying did not agree. Bringing an ordinary person with him would only hinder Chen Xinghai's progress, which made Chen Xinghai a little frustrated.
This time, Xiao Ying chose another route, specifically a direction where few people go.
A few hundred meters into the mountains, a bunch of fiery red things suddenly caught her attention.
She was quite curious, and when she got closer she was immediately surprised.
It’s actually chili pepper!
Worried that she might have made a mistake, she picked one and broke it open, and it was indeed a chili pepper.
She had been into the mountains several times before, but she seemed to have never found this thing.
After thinking for a moment, I guess I was mainly focusing on wild animals at that time and didn’t pay much attention to the relationship between plants.
Besides, the peppers weren’t red at that time.
Speaking of which, chili peppers actually exist in this world? So why haven't they been used on the table yet? They're a great seasoning.
These days people still use dogwood to add flavor, but it is far inferior to chili peppers.
Her mind suddenly became active. With so many peppers, maybe she could do some business.
She immediately put down her backpack and started picking peppers with nimble hands and feet.
After picking for a while, he pulled up the whole plant and placed it in the space of the immortal palace.
Of the two acres of spiritual fields that had newly appeared in the space, one acre was replanted with wheat, and the other acre was left empty after the cabbage was harvested, which was just right for planting some peppers.
The pepper seedlings disappeared one by one in his hands. Such a strange sight suddenly caught Yang Huai's attention.
It turned out that Yang Huai had arrived at Chenjia Village last night and had been watching Xiao Ying's family from afar.
Today, I saw Xiao Ying going into the mountains and immediately followed him.
Because the distance was quite far, Xiao Ying didn't notice it immediately.
Seeing Xiao Ying squatting down to pick something, he couldn't help but feel happy. He thought that the other party was digging potatoes, so he moved closer.
What he saw instead was that the wild seedlings were being pulled up by the other party, and disappeared in his hands in an instant. He let out a light "Huh" in shock.
Although he knew his voice was very soft, Xiao Ying still heard it.
Xiao Ying stopped pulling out the pepper seedlings, his mind moved slightly, and he soon discovered that there was a living creature not far to the right.
He frowned slightly. Few villagers come here. Who could it be?
This time she didn't put any more space in it. She started picking peppers and throwing them into the backpack one by one.
After picking all the fruits in this area, he deliberately walked towards the other party. Sure enough, the other party immediately moved and kept moving backwards.
Her eyes grew colder. Hiding and monitoring her like this clearly showed bad intentions.
While the opponent was moving again, she suddenly mobilized her spiritual power throughout her body, increasing her speed to the extreme, and rushed forward at lightning speed!
Yang Huai didn't expect that he had been discovered, and he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly jump up and rush towards him at an extremely fast speed.
She's just an ordinary village woman, how could she be so fast?!
It was too late for him to hide in shock. The figure appeared in an instant, and then his eyes blurred. He didn't see the other person's movements clearly, but he felt a pain in his chest.
His body flew backwards instantly and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Before he could get up, the other party stepped on his chest and blood gushed out of his mouth.
"Why are you monitoring me?" Xiao Ying asked coldly.
This person looked very unfamiliar, not from the village, and had some martial arts skills. She thought for a long time but couldn't figure out where he came from.
"Ahem...let me go!"
Yang Huai coughed twice in pain and spurted out another mouthful of blood. The other party suddenly increased his strength, causing his chest to hurt even more. He suspected that his ribs were broken.
This is definitely not an ordinary village woman!
There was a hint of horror in his eyes. Where did this woman come from?
"Why are you monitoring me?" Xiao Ying asked again, looking a little impatient.
"I didn't spy on you, I...ah..."
"I asked you why you were spying on me?"
Yang Huai clearly felt the bone piercing his internal organs, the pain was so severe that he couldn't help but scream.
The fear in my heart became even greater. Something was wrong. There was something wrong with this woman. She really dared to kill someone!
Thinking that if he didn't explain, he might die here inexplicably, he trembled suddenly.
"It was our young master who asked me to come here... If you let me go, I will leave immediately and will never bother you again..."
"Who is your young master?"
Xiao Ying looked a little confused. Did he accidentally offend someone?
"Yes...it's the young master of Manxiang Garden...his name is Zhou Tianci...cough cough cough..."
Yang Huai was in unbearable pain and kept coughing up blood. He betrayed his master without hesitation.
For him, nothing is more important than saving his life.
At worst, he can just leave the Zhou family. With his abilities, he can make a living wherever he goes.
