"Oh, who knows if she said that on purpose because there was something wrong with her own vegetable growing!"
Mrs. Lu suddenly said something sour and difficult. Seeing the eyes of the people around her looking at her, she shook her sleeves in panic and said, "Why are you all looking at me? We don't even know the vegetables she grows. Who knows if what she said is true or not?"
"Okay, Jiang Xueying's abilities are obvious to everyone, and her vegetable garden is no secret. If you don't believe me, just go and take a look!"
People's hearts are hidden, and no one knows what the other person is thinking, but Jiang Xueying's statement of leading everyone to grow potatoes and get rich is true, and this made the village chief feel a little disappointed.
"Hey, Jiang Xueying has really helped everyone a lot. Who in our village hasn't received help from her?"
"Yeah, it's not easy for her to make some money as a woman with two children!"
"Village Chief, Jiang Xueying has done a favor for our village, and we all listen to you. Whenever we have time, we will help her keep an eye on the idlers in the vegetable garden to see who is so heartless!"
"Yes, we are not ungrateful people. Someone actually did such a thing. We all have the obligation to help catch the culprit. Such people do not deserve to stay in our village."
Aunt Gu, who was hiding on the side, was so angry when she heard the news. She worked so hard last night and even fell down, but she didn't see Jiang Xueying's angry look. It was really a disappointment.
The village chief mobilized everyone in the village to help look after Jiang Xueying's vegetable field. Aunt Gu naturally would not take the initiative to expose herself at this time, and left the village angrily.
After this incident, Jiang Xueying's team paid more attention to the vegetable field. They waited until Wang Yunyi cleaned up all the destroyed vegetables before replanting them.
Wang Yunyi was naturally more serious and responsible. He and another helper took turns to watch over the vegetable field, fearing that any situation would occur again.
It was difficult to catch the person who destroyed the vegetable field just by looking at the footprints. Jiang Xueying could only let it go for the time being and take good care of the vegetable field she would plant next.
Moreover, the sales of these dishes are also a problem. After all, she can't just rely on her store to sell them individually, as that would mean she won't be able to sell many. She must find big customers to sell them in bulk in order to be cost-effective.
Jiang Xueying was thinking about where to find a big customer when she suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, getting closer and closer. Then the door was pushed open heavily and a person rushed in from outside.
The man had disheveled hair and his clothes were unkempt. There were traces of tears on his pale face. He looked miserable and pitiful.
After seeing her, he seemed to have found a savior. He hurried over and grabbed Jiang Xueying's sleeve, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Miss Jiang, I finally found you. Please, please save my lady!"
Her lady?
Jiang Xueying frowned, a little confused by what she had done. She looked carefully for a long time, trying to recall whether she had met this girl before. After a while, she realized that the woman in front of her was Chen Simin's maid, Lu'er.
Seeing that Lu'er looked like something big had happened, Jiang Xueying looked solemn, but still showed a comforting smile. She held Lu'er's hand with her backhand, pulled Lu'er to sit beside her, and gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to worry.
"Lu'er, don't be anxious. Tell me, what happened to your young lady?"
Jiang Xueying stood up, picked up the teapot next to her, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Lu'er's eyes were filled with tears, swirling in her eye sockets, and the next second they slid down her cheeks, making her dirty face look even more pitiful.
"Miss Jiang, my young lady was forced to marry by my master, but she refused. Now she is locked up by the master and is not allowed to leave the room. Miss Jiang, you also know my young lady's temper. She refused to eat or drink because of this matter and threatened to die. Now... now... please go and save her, Miss Jiang."
Lu'er cried so hard that her eyes were wet and she was out of breath, as if she had to cry her heart out to relieve the pain in her heart.
Forced to marry? Didn't Master Chen favor Chen Simin the most? And Chen Simin has always been smart and courageous. If she doesn't like it, she should be able to solve it!
If Lu'er hadn't come running over to tell her today, she would never have believed it. Forced marriage could never happen in the Chen family!
"Okay, okay, stop crying. Crying won't solve the problem."
Jiang Xueying looked at Lu'er who was twitching with excitement, and reluctantly took out her light-colored handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks from her sleeve and handed it to Lu'er, asking her to wipe the tears from her face.
"How about this, I'll go to Chen's house to see her now, you come with me."
Hearing that Jiang Xueying agreed to help, Lu'er raised her head in surprise, covering her eyes with a handkerchief, revealing a pair of red and swollen eyes. She seemed to have found her backbone, stopped crying, nodded vigorously, and then followed Jiang Xueying to Chen's house.
But as soon as she arrived at the Chen family's door, Jiang Xueying was stopped by the servants at the door.
Thinking of the scene when she accidentally came to the Chen residence to ask for medicine, Jiang Xueying's face suddenly darkened, and she said in a cold voice, "Why, you don't recognize me after not seeing me for such a short time? Is the Chen family so unwelcoming to me now?"
The servant who intercepted Jiang Xueying naturally knew Jiang Xueying, and also knew what kind of punishment those who had prevented Jiang Xueying from entering the mansion had received. They looked at each other in embarrassment, and immediately knelt in front of Jiang Xueying in panic, feeling a thousand grievances in their hearts.
It was clearly their young lady who ordered that no one be allowed to enter the house, and she didn't say that Miss Jiang could be an exception. Why are they still blaming them?
"Ms. Jiang, please forgive me!"
"Miss Jiang, it's like this. My young lady is not in a good condition right now and doesn't want to see anyone, but... she is definitely willing to see Miss Jiang. Please allow me to inform my young lady first."
After saying that, one of them immediately ran in to report, as if there was some ferocious beast chasing him.
Things aren't going well?
Jiang Xueying frowned and cast a puzzled look at Lu'er beside her.
Luer nodded and her eyes began to redden again.
"Miss Jiang, because she has not eaten or drunk for a long time, my young lady is so hungry that she looks unrecognizable. She is also seriously ill and is unwilling to let the doctor treat her. I have no choice but to come to you. My young lady still listens to you very much."
Jiang Xueying nodded in understanding, a trace of heartache flashing across her eyes. Chen Simin was a close friend she had become since she came here, and she was also the one who stepped forward to help her in times of crisis. There was no way she could just sit back and do nothing.
But when she saw Chen Simin, Jiang Xueying was still frightened by her horrible appearance.
It was only a few months since I last saw her, but Chen Simin had almost completely changed. His cheek bones and eyeballs were protruding from his body, and he lay dying on the bed. His face was pale, without a trace of blood, his lips were chapped, and there were dark purple bruises under his eyes. He looked like a terminally ill patient who was about to die.
