After a few days of peace, Jiang Xueying had her house repaired while taking care of her own vegetable garden. The vegetables grown by the villagers who followed her to grow vegetables were growing very well.
Whether selling in bulk or wholesale, everyone can make money.
However, there has been unrest in the nearby mountains recently. Some people from the village came back from the mountains with wounds all over their bodies. They said there were bandits on the mountains who were robbing people and beating them up. Everyone was so scared that they stayed indoors and dared not go to the nearby mountains.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the news, and soon the rumor of bandits in the nearby mountains spread like wildfire.
When Jiang Xueying first heard about this, she had a bad feeling. If it was true that there were bandits in the mountains, then traveling on the official road would be difficult, which might affect their transportation of vegetables.
Unsure of the truth of the news, she immediately went to inquire about it. After visiting several villagers who had encountered bandits, she finally confirmed that the matter was true and not a rumor.
"Sister Jiang, what should we do? I introduced you to several big clients a few days ago. Now there are reports of bandits robbing people on the road. Those drivers who transport vegetables will definitely not dare to travel anymore. Then, won't these vegetables..."
Chen Simin, with an anxious look on her face, quickly found Jiang Xueying. When she heard this, she also thought of the problem of transporting vegetables. If the vegetables could not be transported out, it would not only result in loss of vegetables, but also a problem of breach of trust.
At this moment, Jiang Xueying was also at a loss as to how could such a thing happen out of the blue. Moreover, she had never heard of bandits in the mountains in all her time here. Where did these bandits come from?
Once the rumor spreads, if the matter is not resolved, it may take a long time for the people to calm down.
"Don't worry. I heard that the man who was robbed was beaten all over, but his life was not hurt. I think he was just a bandit who wanted to rob money. He has already reported it to the authorities. Let's wait for the authorities to handle it."
Chen Simin, whose expression relaxed, immediately understood. She nodded and agreed with Jiang Xueying. After all, if there really were bandits, they would not be able to solve the problem on their own. They could only wait and see what measures the government would take.
"Alas, this is all we can do now. It seems we have to be careful when we go out in the future."
Jiang Xueying and Chen Simin waited patiently for three full days, but the government still hadn't given any results. It seemed that things were not as easy as they had imagined, and were starting to become tricky, and would definitely not be resolved in a short time.
"Ma'am, please go."
Um?
Jiang Xueying, who was busy, looked up in surprise at Qiao who was calling her anxiously. What happened?
“Sister Qiao, where are you going in such a hurry?”
Seeing that Jiang Xueying didn't know the news yet, Qiao became a little anxious.
"Oh, it's like this. The village chief called a meeting for everyone in the village. He said there were bandits on the mountain. It would be good for us to go and listen. You can also think of a countermeasure."
Jiang Xueying couldn't help but frown slightly. She hadn't heard any news about the bandits in the past few days, and she thought things should have calmed down.
When the two arrived, the open-air square in the village was already crowded with people.
The villagers in the square were talking about it and everyone was in a panic.
"Alas, I don't know when this will end. Why are there so many bandits gathering in the mountains?"
"Yes, it has been a long time since such a thing happened. We have lived here for decades and have never heard of bandits in the mountains. These people have hands and feet, but they don't want to find a legitimate way to make a living, but choose to be bandits and do murder and arson."
"Yes, if he was from my family, I would rather beat him to death than let him do such a wicked thing!"
"Shh... stop talking. If the bandits heard what you said, your whole family might get their necks cut."
"Pah, pah, pah, you are such a crow's mouth. Your whole family is..."
In front of the field, the village chief strode out and heard everyone talking fiercely, almost turning those bandits into judges from hell. He could not help but frowning, as what had happened in the village recently was really terrible.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me for a few words."
Although everyone was usually rude, they immediately quieted down when they heard the village chief was going to talk about the bandits in the mountains.
This shows that life is still important!
"I'm sure everyone has heard that the nearby mountains have been in turmoil recently. Everyone must pay attention to safety when traveling. Don't go alone, and it's best not to leave the village. If there is something that must be dealt with outside, it's best to go with a group and don't bring too much money..."
The village chief spoke earnestly about several points, summarizing all the key points except that he could not bring the bandits to justice personally.
However, Jiang Xueying felt extremely heavy in her heart!
The vegetables she planted on a large scale have matured. In the past few days, she has been waiting for an official response from the government, but the government has not taken any response measures at all and has not given any results, which is like a stone falling into the sea.
People can wait, but vegetables cannot. In this weather, if the piled up vegetables cannot be transported out, they will rot, and she will lose all her money on this batch of vegetables.
Although she still has a lot of money now and a loss will not hurt her foundation, there are still so many villagers who grow vegetables with her. She had promised in person that she would take charge of the later sales.
Of course, Jiang Xueying is never someone who sits and waits for death. If there are difficulties, she has to find a way to solve them.
"Sister Qiao, let's go back and check on the piled vegetables. If we can find someone to help transport them out, we need to get rid of them as soon as possible, even if it means a discount. Otherwise, they won't be fresh and won't be able to be sold."
"You're right, let's go check it out."
The two of them hurried to the place where the vegetables were piled up. Several villagers had already arrived there, all of whom were growing vegetables with Jiang Xueying.
"Miss Jiang, you are here. You should have heard the village chief's meeting just now. Our vegetables have been piled up for several days, but the drivers who transport them are unwilling to take the job. What should we do?"
A slightly younger villager immediately came forward to meet Jiang Xueying and hurriedly told her the current problem.
"Yes, yes. Many of the leaves of these vegetables have started to turn yellow. What will we do if we can't transport them out?"
A middle-aged man who was a little older also spoke up, expressing roughly the same concerns.
"It's all because of those unscrupulous bandits. They've destroyed our livelihood for no reason. My whole family depends on growing vegetables to survive, wuwuwu..."
A widow immediately grabbed Jiang Xueying's hand and burst into tears in anxiety. Life was difficult and she was extremely panicked. If all these vegetables were lost, their family would be truly doomed.
