Song Lili couldn't help but feel smug. Look how well it's grown now! How heartbreaking it must have been for her!
A few days later, after the wood ash had settled and the bok choy had grown to about six or seven centimeters, Song Lili harvested her first batch of bok choy.
If the cabbages grow too densely, they won't grow very big, which will also affect their growth. At this time, it is necessary to loosen the seedlings and pull out some of them to make room for the other cabbages to grow.
Song Lili picked a large basinful of cabbages, washed them clean, and said to Song Fang, "Fangfang, take these cabbages to Sister Yangmei's house. We haven't thanked them for what happened last time!"
The last time I clashed with Luo Weijia, Yang Weimin and Yang Mei helped me. Later, I wanted to thank them, but I didn't have anything to give them.
Now that these bok choy are in season, it's a good time to give them some to try as a thank you gift.
Song Fang happily said, "Okay." She took the wooden basin and went to Yang Mei's house.
Song Lili blanched the bok choy in water before cooking it with the batter, which made it taste better and the bok choy flavor less strong.
The whole family ate the fresh cabbage that had just been pulled from the ground, and their faces were beaming with joy.
Song Yongren remarked with some emotion, "I never imagined that vegetables could actually be grown in the dead of winter! It's truly unbelievable!"
"I never imagined that just a small piece of plastic sheeting could keep cabbages from being restricted by the climate. It's truly amazing."
Song Lili smiled but didn't say anything. This wasn't magical; it was just science.
Once you understand how greenhouses work, they stop seeming so amazing.
Over the next few days, Song Lili would pull out a large basin of cabbages every day, keeping some for her own family and giving the rest to her neighbors to build good relationships.
In Song Lili's view, this was a very profitable thing. With a few cheap cabbages, she could build good relationships with her neighbors so that they could help her in case of emergencies in the future!
As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative!
Song Lili gave gifts to Qin Hongxia's family.
So, the next day, Song Lili saw Qin Hongxia at her home, and Qin Hongxia mysteriously said to Song Lili, "Guess what secret I overheard?"
Song Lili wanted to roll her eyes and tell her that she wasn't interested and that their relationship wasn't good enough for them to share gossip.
Then I thought about it, and since we'd already built a good relationship by delivering food, I figured I shouldn't ruin it like this. So I casually asked, "What secret?"
Qin Hongxia moved a little closer to Song Lili, causing Song Lili to recoil in disgust and furrow her brows.
"I heard that Xu Youcai, the accountant, was beaten up by several people who put a sack over his head and beat him up. I don't know who did it."
"Really?" Song Lili was surprised. She hadn't expected anyone to resort to such underhanded tactics! The methods were exactly the same as those used in the 21st century!
Qin Hongxia said excitedly, "Of course it's true! I saw it myself. Accountant Xu's face was covered in bruises and swollen like a pig's head. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't recognize him at all."
Song Lili thought that Xu Youcai must have offended a lot of people during his time as an accountant, and now that's why others are retaliating.
Then she started to think outside the box: Could this Accountant Xu be embezzling funds?
In the past, many accountants we saw on the news were like this! They put public funds into their own pockets!
This is terrifying to think about!
Song Lili's eyes suddenly widened. Could it be the truth? Could it really be what she thought?
Song Lili felt that she shouldn't think that way; what if the other person wasn't like that? That was wrong.
Pulling his wandering thoughts back, he asked Qin Hongxia, "You really don't know who hit you? You can't even recognize the voice?"
“They didn’t say a word, they just grabbed me and started hitting me, then ran away. By the time Accountant Xu took the sack down, there wasn’t a single person in sight. Who knows who did it?”
Song Lili remained silent.
Well, those people are quite smart; they know how to protect themselves. Xu Youcai will probably have to suffer in silence now.
She was still secretly pleased; she hadn't forgotten that the big bump on the back of her head on her first day here was because of Xu Youcai.
Hearing that Xu Youcai had been beaten, he felt secretly pleased, but he didn't show it on his face.
And there's Qin Hongxia here too. She's gone too far. I wonder what kind of rumors will spread about her!
Thinking of this, I remembered Zhang Panzi coming to collect the debt, and I couldn't help but say to Qin Hongxia, "Aren't you afraid that Xu Youcai will come after you if you keep talking like this?"
Qin Hongxia's face stiffened, and a flash of annoyance seemed to cross her eyes. "What am I afraid of? I'm only telling you. If anyone else knew, they would definitely have told you."
