Chapter 431: Governance Begins
As expected, when everyone heard Xu Miaomiao's words, they all became timid and no one dared to step forward.
Xu Miaomiao slowly formed a smile at the corner of her mouth, looking at the person in front of her with indifference. Village Chief Wang seemed impatient and immediately stepped forward to take the stick from Liu Guizi's hand and threw it hard on the ground. He was already old, and after this series of actions, he was even a little unstable.
Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward and supported Village Chief Wang, which allowed him to stand in place.
Village Chief Wang said in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing? Have the corn and cotton fields been managed? You are willing to come here to target Madam Xu. If Madam Xu gets hurt, what will happen to our land, let alone other things? Have you ever thought about your family?"
"If we lose the harvest from these fields this year, we will probably freeze to death this winter. Do you still expect to beg Wang Bu Ren and ask him to pity us? Don't you know what kind of person Wang Bu Ren is? He will probably laugh at our incompetence and let us freeze to death. Do you really think he can save us? Now that you can't beat your benefactor, do you really think you are capable and can get through this winter safely?"
"If it weren't for Madam Xu, how could we have gotten those lands? Now that something like this has happened again, you are still thinking of targeting her. The talk of a disaster star is just a trumped-up accusation. Liu Quezi, if you say that again, get out of Wangjia Village!"
Village Chief Wang has been the village chief of Wangjia Village for decades. He has always been kind to others. No one has ever seen him as angry as he is today. Everyone was frightened by his appearance and quickly dropped the sticks in their hands.
Seeing his appearance, Liu Guizi threw away his stick in dissatisfaction and quietly stepped aside.
The surrounding villagers retreated to both sides, making way for the passage.
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly and walked along this road with a swagger.
Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Liu Lame. Wu Zhuang beside him immediately dropped the stick in his hand and ran towards Xu Miaomiao.
"Madam Xu, wait for me."
Wu Zhuang's wife looked at her husband's useless appearance, sighed helplessly and cursed under her breath.
Xu Miaomiao was walking alone in front, and Wu Zhuang caught up with her after a while. The two of them took Xu Ma with them and came to the cotton field.
As soon as she arrived at the cotton field, Xu Miaomiao squatted down to check the condition of the soil. It was exactly as she had imagined. Now that she had made the medicine in the field ineffective, the insect eggs underneath immediately began to grow wildly, gnawing at the roots and leaf veins of the cotton field. The originally green leaves had now turned withered and yellow. She was afraid that if they allowed these insects to continue gnawing at them, they would have no harvest this year.
Village Chief Wang saw this scene and sighed helplessly. He then turned to look at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, is there any other solution for this?"
Village Chief Wang was probably the only one in Bai County who knew that Xu Miaomiao had taken over the land, so when he asked this question, he subconsciously thought that Xu Miaomiao had some way to make it better naturally. Unfortunately, Xu Miaomiao shook his head, looked at Village Chief Wang and said solemnly, "There is a way now, but we have to try it."
Xu Miaomiao looked at Village Chief Wang as she spoke. Village Chief Wang nodded immediately after hearing this: "No matter what method, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to try it."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao also responded, and then took out a porcelain bottle from his hand and handed it to Wang Cunzi, saying: "This medicine can also inhibit the growth of insects in the fields, but unfortunately it has a disadvantage."
Xu Miaomiao paused when she said this.
When Village Chief Wang saw her, he immediately ignored the rules of gender and took Xu Miaomiao's hand and said, "Madam Xu, just tell me what you want. No matter what it is, I will follow your instructions."
Seeing him coming, Xu Miaomiao slowly said, "Only two drops can be used per acre of land. If it exceeds this range, the leaves will probably turn yellow and there will be no possibility of a cure. So a very careful person must come. However, this medicine is a long-term medicine. It must be dropped once every morning, noon and evening. However, because the medicinal properties of this medicine are too strong, if there is a little more, the leaves may turn yellow. It's a pity that now I can't think of any other way except this one."
After Xu Miaomiao said this, she also sighed.
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, looked at the withered yellow leaves in the field, and then took the porcelain bottle from Xu Miaomiao's hand. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and said confidently, "Don't worry, Madam Xu. In the future, I will do the pesticide application myself. I will never let anyone take advantage of the opportunity and take good care of this piece of land."
Xu Miaomiao listened to what Village Chief Wang said. Only the three of them heard it, but after all, it was everyone's land that needed to be managed. Even though it was bribed by Wang Buren, it was their share that had to be given, so this matter still needed to be discussed with other people in the village.
Village chief Wang gathered everyone together, and Xu Miaomiaoru followed him without saying a word.
After Village Chief Wang told Xu Miaomiao everything that she had just said, everyone began to whisper. Liu Quezi was the first to object. He looked at Village Chief Wang and said, "Why? What if the amount is not enough? Won't all the land be ruined? Who will be responsible then? Will Madam Xu have to pay for our losses?"
Liu Quezi spoke every word sarcastically to Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously, she hid aside and didn't respond.
Village Chief Wang frowned when he saw this. He looked at Liu Quezi and said, "We came here to ask Madam Xu to treat the land. Now there is only one solution. If you don't do as Madam Xu said, are you going to watch the land being eaten up by pests? Then we will have no harvest this year and our whole family will have to spend the whole winter like this?"
Obviously, Village Chief Wang's words worked. People around him began to whisper and unconsciously distanced themselves from Liu Quezi. Before Xu Miaomiao came, Liu Quezi was a nuisance in their village.
