Chapter 421 The First Failure
Xu Miaomiao turned away indifferently and ignored Village Chief Wang's actions.
Village chief Wang pulled up his long green shirt and knelt down in front of Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao was suddenly forced to kneel with her back to him, and she was already panicking and wanted to be helped up by the man in front of her.
He said, "Village Chief Wang, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up."
"Madam Xu, if you don't agree to me, I can't get up today. I know the people in the village have wronged you. At that time, they did misunderstand you because of some rumors, so they began to exclude you and your children. But after all, I am also the village chief of this village. Since I have been the village chief for so long, I must be responsible for this village. So I asked Madam Xu to go back with me. I am afraid that only you can manage those two places well."
Xu Miaomiao had a cold expression on her face, and ignored the man in front of her. Seeing that he was about to kneel, she sighed helplessly, sat down and said, "To be honest, Village Chief Wang, I'm telling you, the two plots of land ended up like this because of me. If it weren't for me, with the pesticides I put in them a few years ago, there would certainly be no insects attacking."
"I was dissatisfied with the attitude and hypocrisy of the people, so I put drugs in the field, which made the original drugs ineffective, and that's why all these bugs grew out."
Village Chief Wang was obviously a little shocked when she heard this, but Xu Miaomiao did not give her a chance to be shocked. Instead, she continued to speak and said, "Village Chief Wang, now you know the culprit, but you can tell them that this matter is yours. I believe they will only hate me more and will not embarrass you any more. But I will definitely not help you manage this land."
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he stood up slowly with a strange look on his face, shook his head at Xu Miaomiao, bowed, and said, "I won't tell them."
Village Chief Wang said this suddenly. Xu Miaomiao was still a little confused and looked at him in confusion. Although it was the best option to put the blame on someone, why didn't Village Chief Wang do that?
He said, "You originally brought these two plots of land to us. Now you just want to take them back by your own means. What's impossible? Since Madam Xu doesn't agree to help us manage them, I have nothing to say."
"We got these lands thanks to your efforts, so we are much more relaxed now. But today, you were driven out. We were wrong. So it is right for Madam Xu not to help me."
"In fact, I didn't want to come here at first. After all, everyone is asking for help, so it's not easy to ask. But everyone has asked me again and again. As a village chief, it is my duty to come to you. But Madam Xu has your own ideas. Since you are unwilling to help me, I have nothing to say, and I won't blame you. You said that you were responsible for what happened today, but I will pretend that I didn't hear anything and I won't say a word to them. I only know that what happened to the cornfield and the plowed land was a natural disaster. We have no way to deal with it. It has nothing to do with you, Madam Xu."
The man said, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
Xu Miaomiao looked at his leaving figure, her expression paused, a little at a loss.
Since it was the first time that he had an expression as if he had done something wrong, Village Chief Wang looked at Xu Miaomiao standing there in a daze, without saying anything, and turned around and left in a cool manner.
Xu Miaomiao sat there from dawn to dusk, and she was still in a daze when Gu Yuanniang came in.
"What happened? Why are you still sitting here?"
Gu Yuanniang saw Xu Miaomiao was in a daze, and immediately came up to her, put her arm around her shoulders, and sat down beside her. Xu Miaomiao came to her senses from her dazed look, looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "I seem to have done something very wrong."
Seeing that Gu Yuan's mother still didn't quite understand, Xu Miaomiao told her everything that happened today. Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao saw that Gu Yuan's mother was silent for a long time. Thinking that she also disagreed with her, Xu Miaomiao walked out with her head hung, looking dejected.
He said, "I will put the antidote there right now. I can't let the people of Wangjia Village be unable to survive this cold winter because of my momentary willfulness."
"No, why would you go?"
Gu Yuanniang immediately spoke from behind.
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao was stunned. He stood there and slowly raised his head. He saw Gu Yuanniang stood up and walked towards Xu Miaomiao. She looked at him and said, "This matter was not your fault in the first place. Why do you have to apologize to them? Besides, we did develop the land and cotton fields. Now you just want to take it back. It originally belonged to you. What does it matter what method you use?"
Xu Miaomiao looked confused. She stood there looking at Gu Yuanniang, and said with some grievance, "But just now, Village Chief Wang came to see me. He wanted me to help. I told him that I was the one who did it. He didn't mean to report me, and he said that it was a natural disaster and had nothing to do with me. How could I not feel sad when I heard that?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang patted Xu Miaomiao's shoulder comfortingly, took a step closer to her, looked at him and said, "You are so soft-hearted. Have you forgotten how he treated us back then?"
"Wu Zhuang was our best friend in the beginning, but he became so shunful to us because of those rumors about the disaster star that he even hurt Erbao and Xiaobao. Erbao and Xiaobao suffered so much injustice in that village. Those people beat and scolded them. And the child in my belly, have you forgotten all that?"
Gu Yuanniang was so emotional when she said this that she even touched her lower abdomen.
When Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, her heart, which had been a little soft, suddenly relaxed and she nodded at her: "You are right. When they kicked me out, they promised me everything. Now they are still begging me to give them advice. There is no such good thing in the world. Besides, Liu Niang, you lost the baby in your belly because of that incident. I absolutely cannot forgive them so easily."
Xu Miaomiao spoke firmly. Gu Yuanniang heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "You are good at everything and you are decisive, but unfortunately you are too soft-hearted, especially Village Chief Wang. He came to ask you twice, and you thought about going back and agreeing."
