Unfortunately, Lu Mingfa wasn't trying to bargain with her. He simply waved his hand and said, "It's settled then. Go to work!"
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Zhong Yan gripped the basket, her face contorted with anger.
Those idiots, they're all so old and they don't even know how to be careful. How did the village chief find out?
They deserve to suffer!
She thought that the village chief, Lu Mingfa, had discovered the large meat buns she had delivered while inspecting the shed. She never expected that it was Grandpa Qin and the others who had voluntarily handed over the basket of things to the village chief, who then returned them to her.
After all, in her heart, this was a basket of big meat buns. Even she, who had been reborn, couldn't help but drool at the sight of it. How could those people in the shed, who never even saw a drop of oil in their meals, resist such a temptation?
It can only be said that she judged others by her own standards and underestimated everyone else.
Of all the people in the shed who have survived to this day, who isn't exceptionally resilient in spirit?
Not to mention that since they met Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao, their lives have been many times better than before.
Even their luck was incredibly good. Every time Old Master Qin led people up the mountain to hunt, they almost never came back empty-handed. They could always catch some pheasants or rabbits, and at worst, they would pick up a few wild eggs.
Even more outrageous, once when Grandpa Du and Xie Zhicheng went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables, they encountered two wolves. Just when they thought they were about to lose their lives, the two wolves glanced at them and then turned around and left!
It was as if someone was directing it.
They all believed that they were blessed by Ye Weiwei, the lucky mascot, and even the wild animals in the mountains avoided them.
A few days ago they even hunted a roe deer, and now they've secretly dug a small cellar where they still have over ten kilograms of cured meat hidden.
In addition, when they went to Ye Weiwei's house to see the children, if they had a headache or fever and felt unwell, Ye Weiwei would give them a few acupuncture needles, and they would feel better immediately.
Grandpa Du was not very strong to begin with, and in recent years his health had deteriorated further. He would feel unwell whenever the seasons changed. After Ye Weiwei gave him acupuncture a few times and gave him some small pills, his health visibly improved.
He used to want to use the house deeds and land deeds in his hands to exchange for meat with Ye Weiwei. Now that he can hunt prey and has no shortage of meat, he uses the house deeds and land deeds as medical fees. He only regrets that he was not resourceful enough back then and did not hide more house deeds and land deeds.
That evening, Ye Weiwei overheard Old Master Qin and Old Master Du talking about Zhong Yan, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
Is Zhong Yan's brain stuffed with cotton?
Or is it a post-rebirth syndrome?
Anyway, he doesn't seem very smart.
This person's IQ doesn't seem as high as it was at the beginning.
Huo Xiao frowned. "I will investigate this Zhong Yan thoroughly."
Hearing Huo Xiao say this, Old Master Qin nodded in relief.
Although Huo Xiao, that brat, always had a cold face and never gave him a friendly look whenever he saw him, his abilities were indeed top-notch.
She's a bit petty and holds grudges!
If I can truly clear my name, I will definitely not treat this kid unfairly.
This young couple were not only his saviors, but also his benefactors!
It was his good fortune to meet them here.
Since Qin Zhenyuan is not destined to die, he will make those people pay the price!
Huo Xiao's brow remained furrowed even after Old Master Qin and Old Master Du left.
Ye Weiwei asked with concern, "Have you run into some trouble? Is it something difficult?"
Huo Xiao opened his mouth, but Ye Weiwei waved her hand, "Forget it, don't force yourself if you can't tell me. I don't necessarily need to know what it is, I just want to see if I can help."
Huo Xiao put his arm around Ye Weiwei, thought for a moment, and asked, "You might actually be able to help with this."
Ye Weiwei asked curiously, "What is it?"
Huo Xiao said, "After we caught those people at the hospital last time, our men got something out of one of them. The reason they planted so many spies in Qingshan County is because they're hiding something important here."
Ye Weiwei's eyes widened involuntarily: "What important thing?"
Huo Xiao shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, and those people don't know either. Moreover, that person only found out about this by chance, and he himself doesn't know whether it's true or false."
They had always found it strange that such a small place as Qingshan County had so many espionage activities. If it was because something important was hidden there, then it would make sense.
However, Qingshan County is neither too big nor too small. If they really wanted to find something here, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's more, they didn't even know what those things were, making it even more difficult.
However, what Old Master Qin said tonight about Zhong Yan might be a clue.
Ye Weiwei tried hard to recall the plot of the original book she had read, but found that there was nothing about the spies in Qingshan County, and she had no idea where anything important was hidden.
How can I help you?
Huo Xiao rubbed his chin against Ye Weiwei's head. "I was just saying it casually. You've always been lucky and have an unusual sense of things, so you might discover something. If you notice anything wrong, be sure to tell me."
Ye Weiwei nodded: "That's no problem. But Qingshan County is so big, have you done a search to find a few suitable places to hide things, and narrow down the search area?"
We can't just search aimlessly like headless flies, can we?
"An investigation is already underway."
However, progress has been very slow.
Thinking about how they had been busy these past few days but had gained nothing, Huo Xiao felt a little frustrated.
However, not wanting to bring work-related emotions home, he immediately changed the subject.
"I received a call from my uncle today. He's coming over in the next few days. He didn't say anything on the phone, but I think it must be for something."
Ye Weiwei said happily, "My little uncle is coming? Then I need to get ready and prepare a guest room."
Seeing that she was happy, Huo Xiao reminded her, "You're still in your postpartum period, so let Mom help you with these chores."
I've never seen a young wife so bold. Other women stay indoors during their postpartum period, afraid of the wind or the light. But my young wife doesn't care at all. If it weren't for him and his mother watching over her every day, she would have wanted to go hunting in the mountains long ago.
Ye Weiwei didn't care at all: "I'm not being delicate! Let me tell you, I've already recovered. Don't bother Mom with this little bit of work. She's been working so hard for me during my pregnancy, and she's made me gain weight while she looks thinner."
Huo Xiao: "You gave her three grandchildren, so she's happy no matter how busy she is."
He didn't think his mother had lost weight. She was always happy, holding her grandchildren with a contented look on her face.
