Chapter 1621 Someone broke into the sunflower field and stole sunflower seeds.
As the group walked further and further away until they were completely out of sight, Shu Yu secretly let out a breath.
Hopefully, if things get chaotic in Changjin Prefecture, it won't affect Chenggu County, where the Meng family lives.
"Let's go."
Meng Yunzheng turned to her and said that Lan Hua and the others who had come to see him off had then turned back to the city.
Shu Yu first went to Lu Ji's shop in the county town, and then bought some things for Xiao Huohuo outside. Actually, the Lu family lacked nothing; before the child was even born, the family had prepared everything for him.
But Shu Yu couldn't resist taking the cute little gadgets home with her.
When she returned to Fenghuai Street, both she and Yingxi were carrying bags and packages that were overflowing.
As soon as she entered the front hall and put her things down to rest, Ying Dong strode over with Da Zhuang.
Shu Yu was taken aback. Seeing Da Zhuang's serious and resentful expression, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Boss, someone has entered the sunflower field and is stealing sunflower seeds."
Da Zhuang's words were startling, and Shu Yu suddenly stopped. After a moment, she narrowed her eyes slightly, "Stealing sunflower seeds? The person has been caught?"
"He's been caught, but he's still being held in Shangshi Village. The village chief told me to come over quickly and ask the owner what he thinks about how to deal with this person."
"Tell me the details first. Who are the other party? Whose house did you steal from? Have you found out anything?"
Dazhuang then quickly recounted the whole story.
Actually, this story started when Xu Cai and Ge Qifei had an affair. Last time Shu Yu went to Donggu County, she saw that someone had secretly planted sunflowers there, and she suspected that someone had sold or stolen the sunflower seeds.
Dazhuang, who worked in the workshop, was aware of this matter.
So when he got back, he told Daqiang to keep a closer eye on his sunflower field. He also reminded the other villagers.
However, everyone's energy is limited, and the land is cultivated in a very scattered manner, so even if they wanted to take good care of it, they were powerless to do so.
Who knew that Xu Cai's incident would happen not long ago, the villagers of Shangshi Village all felt it was very unlucky.
Those who own sunflower fields often worry that their fields might become a place for lovers to have affairs. Having affairs is one thing, but what if someone accidentally damages the sunflowers?
Two sunflowers on Daqiang's land were indeed cut down when the two men fled. The Lin family was heartbroken, but the Xu and Ge families agreed to compensate them.
But this is only because they caught the two cheating. What if they hadn't caught them? They would have suffered a loss for nothing.
So the villagers who planted sunflowers have been patrolling extra diligently these days, as the sunflowers are about to ripen, and they also come to check on them from time to time in the evenings.
As for the villagers who didn't grow sunflowers, although they also looked down on adultery, they had a strange, hidden gossip in their hearts. When they passed by the sunflower field, they would think of that matter. Then... they would slow down and quietly peek inside, wishing they could poke a hole in the dense sunflower stalks to see how many couples were inside.
Anyway, they had good reason to linger there for so long—they were planning to plant sunflowers soon, so wasn't it necessary to observe the characteristics and growth rate of sunflowers in advance?
As a result, almost everyone in Shangshi Village patrolled the area, and the sunflower fields became like hot commodities, constantly being watched.
This scrutiny, of course, uncovered a problem.
