Chapter 57 Chasing



Chapter 57 Chasing

Nothing is trivial in the countryside.

It’s just a tiny place, but if there’s any disturbance, the whole production team will know about it soon.

As Sun Ya and her people came and went, the "big event" of the Lu family selling cherries could naturally not be hidden from others.

It quickly created a whirlwind of discussion in the village.

Because of Secretary Lu Tianlei's identity, no one dared to jump out and accuse him. However, gossip was inevitable.

Lu Tianlei was so focused on taking care of the cherries that he didn't notice anything.

But the good times didn't last long.

In the afternoon, Lu Yunqian came to the private mountain with a bamboo basket, saying that she wanted to pick cherries to eat. Lu Tianlei did not let Huang Xinran tell others the price of cherries. Seeing Lu Yunqian making a fuss again and again, he could not help but yell a few words, which scared Lu Yunqian so much that she ran away crying.

Her crying gave others an opportunity to take advantage of her.

Then someone stood up and spoke.

"Secretary Lu, your Sissi just wants to eat some cherries. Is it that serious? Are you dissatisfied with the fact that Sissi is your daughter and you don't love her anymore?" The man joked, but the implication of his words was really humiliating.

"If it were in the past, she would have eaten as many as she could. But now there is nothing I can do! Who has allowed that person to buy up all the fruits from the cherry trees on my private mountain? If the quantity is not enough, the other party must abide by the contract, and I will have to eat the leftovers!"

"How can that be possible?"

The other party rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, Secretary Lu, the cherry tree in your house seems to be different from ours? I remember that your cherry tree was found by your Yun Chen back then, right?"

"Ah, yes!"

Lu Tianlei nodded repeatedly: "It is a new variety that Lao Si brought back from afar. Haven't you seen that the cherries are obviously several times bigger than our local cherries? I heard from him that not only did he spend a lot of effort to buy these fruit trees, but he also had to ask for a lot of favors just to get them back. Later, in order to repay the favors, Lao Si almost lost a layer of skin."

No matter what the reason was for these people to talk to him, Lu Tianlei first put an end to their thoughts.

The man was speechless.

He really wanted to ask Lu Yunchen where he got these fruit trees. However, Lu Tianlei's words made him speechless. After all, he didn't know how to repay the favor of the Lu family.

“Yes, yes…”

The other party retreated with a sneer.

But that night, the big yellow dog that had been lying quietly under the tree suddenly barked. Lu Tianlei ran out to check, but found nothing. But from the cherry tree behind him, a scream came.

Oops!

A strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountains.

Lu Tianlei hurried back, only to see a white figure flashing in the bushes. He hurriedly caught up and saw a few more footprints on the trunk of the cherry tree. There was a dark blue patch on the branches. He even found a few drops of blood on the ground.

I took a little bit and smelled it, and found that it was human blood.

Someone is injured!

Lu Tianlei was angry and amused, so he perked up and looked around. Then he saw Lu Yunchen coming over with a torch.

"I heard a dog barking."

"Someone came to steal cherries, and I don't know if he succeeded."

Thinking about the high value of these cherries, Lu Tianlei felt distressed.

Lu Yunchen thought more.

He remembered that when he and Huang Xinran went to sell cherries, the cherries on the trees were still green. But now, the trees are full of red cherries.

Even if others don’t know, how could he not know?

He just happened to come across these cherry trees and bought them randomly. The cherry seller also said that they were just ordinary cherries.

Nowadays, ordinary cherries are no longer ordinary, and the only abnormal one among them is Huang Xinran.

His mind raced, "Where's that big yellow dog?"

As he was speaking, a big yellow dog appeared out of nowhere and started wagging its tail at him.

Shine the flashlight, Lu Yunchen stood up and said, "This dog has also injured someone. I guess someone really came here just now. And they weren't in a group."

The white shadow should be the little fox, which chased the man away from the tree. Then, who was the person bitten by the big yellow dog?

Huang Xinran didn't find out until the next day that someone had stolen something the previous night.

For this reason, she was a little worried. She didn't know whether the cherry pits she had stimulated would still sprout.

Should...right?

"Dad, don't be angry. As the saying goes, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against him for a thousand days. Let him steal! Fortunately, we didn't lose too much. Just be careful tonight to prevent them from coming again. Fortunately, the cherry season is short, so I think they will be sold out soon."

Cherries only have a fruiting period of about ten to twenty days, and the Lu family has a limited number of cherry trees, so it would be a miracle if the production could last another week.

So that's why she said that.

"That won't work! Stealing is stealing, and I will never let those thieves go!"

Lu Tianlei waved his fist angrily and said, "Wait, I will definitely find the thief!" After that, he strode down the mountain.

Huang Xinran didn't doubt his words at all.

But what if we find the thief?

In order to reduce the impact, she couldn't send the person to the police station, so she had to let them off.

Having said that, when Sun Ya's subordinates came again, she had them pick all the ripe ones to avoid attracting attention.

Lu Tianlei hurried back to the village to look for the thief, while Qian Duoduo followed the clues and found the way to Qianjin Village. However, the guide she found happened to be Jiang Yurou.

It's Jiang Yurou's luck!

As the date Huang Xinran gave approached, Xiao Huayu pressed her again and again, and Jiang Yurou had to find another way. While racking her brains, she happened to meet Qian Duoduo who followed the clues. After hearing what Qian Duoduo said, she understood that the person the other party was looking for was the Lu family.

Who made Lu's cherries famous in Qianjin Village recently?

This was also the first time she had seen cherries that were bigger than Li Guo.

After hearing Qian Duoduo's description, she took the tip given by the other party and quickly led the person to Qianjin Village and to the Lu family's private mountain.

Even from a distance, Qian Duoduo could smell the unique fragrance of cherries. She was overjoyed and quickened her pace.

"It's cherries! This is what they taste like! Quick, pick them all for me!"

She ordered quickly.

The two people who followed her acted quickly and tried to climb up the fruit tree.

The dog barked and Huang Xinran chased after it. Seeing this, he quickly shouted, "Stop!"

"It's you!"

"It really is you! Yes, it's me."

Qian Duoduo was delighted when she saw Huang Xinran. She had asked before and found out that it was the cherries sold by the woman in front of her. She grabbed a big bag and waved her hand: "I want all these cherries from your field!"

"Sorry you're late. All the cherries are sold out."
