Chapter 414 The Land in Trouble
The girl in his arms no longer had any worries, so Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. She put her on the ground and let her play around.
The night is slowly approaching, the stars cover the sky, and the bright moon gradually emerges, but tonight is destined to be an unusual night.
Wu Zhuang was carrying his things home. When he passed by Xu Miaomiao's house, a hint of guilt appeared in his eyes, but he still clenched his fists to encourage himself to walk faster.
The fat woman opposite saw Wu Zhuang and immediately said while eating melon seeds, "Why, Mr. Wu is still thinking about that disaster star?"
"Aunt Li, don't talk nonsense."
When Wu Zhuang heard this, he immediately refuted her and spoke.
Then he sighed and muttered to himself, "But after all, these cotton fields and plowed land were brought to us by Madam Xu. Wouldn't it be too ungrateful for us to do this? I heard that your children targeted their Erbao and Xiaobao today."
When the woman heard this, she was dissatisfied and cracked some melon seeds, as if she didn't care about this matter. She said, "Why, can't I go after them? Everyone knows that their family is a disaster. I will go and say a few words to them so that they will know their own mistakes. The best ones will move out of this village as soon as possible and not bring disaster to our village."
Wu Zhuang shook his head when he heard this, and could only make his steps faster. The woman behind him was impatient. She glanced at Wu Zhuang, spitted, and said, "Why are you pretending to be a good person? You were the one who took the lead in the beginning, and now you come here to pretend again. What are you pretending for?"
The woman rolled her eyes and was about to turn around and leave, but she saw a little white dog suddenly appear in front of her, looking at her with gritted teeth, with a ferocious look, as if it was going to rush up at the next second.
This white dog had never been seen before, and its sudden appearance here made people a little scared. The woman tightly grasped the melon seeds in her hand and backed away repeatedly.
But the white dog was ready to attack and rushed up. The woman didn't dare to care about the melon seeds in her hand. She fled in panic and was chased around the village by the dog.
Xu Miaomiao heard the dog barking and slowly smiled.
"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so happy?"
It was just a fleeting smile, but Song Wushao noticed it immediately. Since he came back, he saw less and less smiles on Xu Miaomiao's face. She thought that after coming to Bai County, things would become less troublesome, but she didn't expect that there were still so many things that bothered her.
Xu Miaomiao patted Song Wushao's hand and shook her head to indicate that everything was fine, but her eyes gradually dimmed. Whether he was okay or not would only be known tomorrow.
People in remote areas like Bai County are all hardworking, because they have to plow the fields every few days. In the past, they had to go into the mountains to hunt, but now they don’t have to live that life-threatening way. Now every household gets up very early, and they like to take a look at their own fields every morning.
Village chief Wang was inspecting the farmland as usual.
Looking from afar, he saw only a field of yellow leaves. He had a bad feeling in his heart and immediately quickened his pace. When he reached the pear orchard, he was even more shocked by the scene in front of him. All the small pears that had been growing on the tree had fallen down and the leaves had turned yellow and dry. Seeing this scene, he seemed to stop breathing for a moment. He really didn't know how to explain such a thing to the people in the village.
My heart tightened and I immediately ran to the cotton field to see. I saw that the cotton plants, which were originally full, had their heads drooping, and the cotton fluff inside was all exposed. There were also many insects crawling in the field.
Seeing this scene, he was struck by lightning. The next moment, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village and started a discussion meeting.
It just so happens that today is the fifteenth, which is the day Wang Bu Ren comes to inspect. Ever since Xu Miaomiao stopped caring about the pear and cotton fields, Wang Bu Ren has bought all of them. His subordinates will only be responsible for picking and planting. When the time comes, all the money will be his, and he will divide it among these people one by one.
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she was also a little confused. If Wang Bu Ren came in, wouldn't there be one less of these things? But he couldn't convince these people.
When Wang Bu'ren came, everyone had a sad expression on their faces. When Village Chief Wang saw Wang Bu'ren coming, he spoke immediately as if he had seen a savior.
"Mr. Wang, please help us."
Wang Bu Ren raised his eyebrows curiously when he heard this: What's going on? Why so early?
As Village Chief Wang spoke, he picked up the rotten leaves he had just picked up from the field and handed them to Wang Buren.
Wang Bu Ren was a little surprised when he saw the leaf. He immediately threw the thing on the ground and said, "Why did you give me such a dirty thing?"
After slapping the leaves off his hands in disgust, Wang Bu Ren clapped his hands and said, "The pear blossom field and cotton field were fine before, why did they suddenly become like this? Is there some evil spirit causing trouble?"
Wang Bu Ren's eyes turned and he spoke.
When everyone heard this, they began to whisper. Liu Lame, who was standing nearby, limped out with a look of indignation. He had just acquired a few more cotton fields and plowed land a few days ago, and this happened today. Why was he so unlucky?
Thinking quickly, he saw that Xu Miaomiao's house was closed, and immediately said, "It must be her. She must have come back and brought all the disasters back with her. I said she was a disaster star and must be driven out of the village. Now our pear blossom fields and cotton fields are all gone. What should we do in the future?"
As Liu Quezi spoke, he could no longer bear it and squatted on the ground and started crying.
Seeing his look, Village Chief Wang glared at him helplessly but said nothing.
When Wang Bu Ren heard what Liu Qiezi said, he was very satisfied and nodded to Liu Quezi.
"Your suspicion is not justified, but this matter is not about one or two people, but about the entire village. Why not call them out and ask them clearly?"
Perhaps because she was too upset, Xu Miaomiao couldn't sleep all night. When she heard them calling her, she actually opened the door and walked out.
The villagers saw him as if they had seen a disaster star, and they all retreated away. Only Village Chief Wang took two steps forward with his old steps and bowed to Xu Miaomiao: "Something big happened, and I disturbed Madam Xu. Please don't be surprised to see you again."
Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and helped Village Chief Wang up. Now, Village Chief Wang was the only one in the village who could be polite to her.
