On the other side, Aunt Gu, who had just returned from the neighboring town, heard the villagers discussing how well the vegetables planted by Jiang Xueying were growing as soon as she entered the village, and she couldn't help but frown.
The Gu family did not listen to Jiang Xueying and the village chief and did not leave before the flood came. Several members of the Gu family died and their house was destroyed. Fortunately, Aunt Gu ran fast and saved her life. Later, she was so hungry and sleepy that she ate grass roots and mud to barely save her life.
After the flood receded, the Gu family returned with nothing, so they left the village and went to live with relatives in the neighboring town. However, Aunt Gu did not get along well with the main family, so she secretly ran away to see them. However, she did not expect that Jiang Xueying is now praised by everyone in the village.
Thinking of the scene where she was humiliated by Jiang Xueying in every way, Aunt Gu became more and more angry. Why was it that their Gu family was forced to leave their hometown with nothing, while the Ye family later became prosperous in the village?
No, she won't give in!
The night wind was a little chilly. Jiang Xueying and the two children had already gone to bed, and there were no lights on in the three neighboring houses.
The villagers were exhausted after a busy day working the fields and building the school, so they all went to bed early. The village was very quiet, with only the chirping of insects and barking of dogs to be heard.
Looking at the boundless night, Aunt Gu carried a large bucket of boiling water and secretly went up the mountain.
When the ** family came to the village, it was the Gu family who gave them a place to stay, but Jiang Xueying was not grateful at all and was reluctant to even give her anything. What a hateful ungrateful person.
The more Aunt Gu thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
During the day, Aunt Gu found out where Jiang Xueying planted vegetables. She came there in the dark and started pouring boiling water on the ground, cursing all the time.
"Jiang Xueying, aren't you awesome? Then I'll see how awesome you are. I'm going to destroy all your dishes. Let's see if you can still be so proud in the future."
Today, the moonlight shines on Aunt Gu who is excitedly pouring boiling water on the vegetable patch.
After pouring both buckets of boiling water on the ground, Aunt Gu smiled, wiped the sweat from her head, and carried the two empty buckets back, her steps even lighter than when she came.
The night was quiet, with only the creaking footsteps of the extremely excited Aunt Gu. When she thought of how Jiang Xueying would look when she saw the destroyed vegetable field tomorrow, Aunt Gu couldn't help but laugh. How proud you are!
Just when she was excited, her feet suddenly felt empty, and Aunt Gu's body instantly lost control and rolled forward.
“Ouch!”
After falling twice, she hit a mound of earth heavily. Aunt Gu screamed in pain and felt as if her whole body was falling apart and she was in so much pain that she didn't know where her bucket had rolled to.
After finally getting up, Aunt Gu rubbed her aching knee and limped to find a bucket in the moonlight.
Fortunately, the bucket got stuck on a rock and did not roll down the mountain. Aunt Gu found it soon and went down the mountain cursing.
After finally returning to her temporary residence, Aunt Gu hurriedly checked her injuries and found that her legs were covered with scrapes and bruises. It hurt terribly when touched, but when she thought of what she had done today, she felt that everything was worth it. She was both in pain and happy, and she was looking forward to seeing what Jiang Xueying would look like tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xueying was still instructing the two children to exercise when Wang Yunyi's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
Jiang Xueying's face couldn't help but darken. Wang Yunyi was specially hired by Jiang Xueying to help her look after the land. He was diligent and down-to-earth, and she had always been very confident in him. But today he suddenly became so anxious. Could something have happened?
Letting the two children continue practicing, Jiang Xueying hurried to open the door and saw Wang Yunyi, who was panting.
"Sister Jiang, hurry... hurry and check the vegetable garden. All the vegetables in the garden are dead!"
Today, Wang Yun went to check the condition of the vegetable garden as usual, but he was shocked when he saw it, so he hurried to find Jiang Xueying.
Jiang Xueying was just about to follow Wang Yunyi to check the vegetable garden when she suddenly remembered that the two children were still in the yard. She turned around and asked Ye Xiaoyu to make breakfast by herself.
"Mom, what happened?"
It was rare to see Jiang Xueying so anxious, Ye Xiaoyu was a little surprised.
"It's okay, I'll go check on the vegetable garden, you stay home and take good care of Xiao Jin, okay?"
"Okay, don't worry, Mom!"
Ye Xiaoyu nodded sensibly. In her eyes, Jiang Xueying was omnipotent and there was nothing she couldn't solve.
"Mom, come back soon!"
Ye Xiaojin also shouted, but Jiang Xueying, who left in a hurry, did not hear it.
The two of them walked quickly up the mountain. Jiang Xueying was also shocked by the scene in front of her. The seedlings that were clearly growing vigorously yesterday were now all wilted and fell limply to the ground.
“This…what’s going on?”
The reason why these seedlings grew so well was because Jiang Xueying used special fertilizer. When she came to check on them yesterday, they were all growing vigorously. Even if there was a problem, they shouldn't have all withered overnight.
"I... I don't know either. I checked yesterday afternoon and the vegetables were growing well, but when I came to see them this morning, they turned into this!"
Wang Yunyi was also a little stunned. He felt that it was because he failed in his duty and did not take good care of the vegetable garden that it became like this. He regretted more and more that he did not come to patrol at night.
Things were a bit strange. Jiang Xueying didn't know why the seedlings were withering for a moment, so she checked them one by one. When she reached the edge of the land at the top, she found a row of clear footsteps.
Jiang Xueying squatted down to check the footprints on the ground. The other lands were relatively dry, but this piece of land was particularly moist, and the footprints looked a little strange.
"Whose footprints are these? When did you water the plants yesterday?"
Hearing the question, Wang Yunyi hurried over to check, with confusion in his eyes.
"This... No one came here yesterday, and we usually water the plants in the morning. Logically, the sun was so bright yesterday that the soil shouldn't be so wet!"
"That... that means the water might have been poured last night. Who would help water our vegetable garden so late at night?"
Thinking carefully about every detail, Wang Yunyi was suddenly startled and his pupils dilated.
"Sister, what you mean is... someone tampered with the vegetable garden?"
The wetness of the land was obviously due to the water left over from last night. Who would run up the mountain in the middle of the night to water her vegetable garden?
And these messy footsteps seemed a bit strange, they must have been left in a hurry.
Jiang Xueying took a look and found that the footprints were very small. They did not look like men's footprints, but more like women's footprints. Normally, all the workers hired by Wang Yunyi to take care of the vegetable fields were men, with no women except her. So whose footprints were these?
