Chapter 267 Killing One Thousand Enemies and Losing Eight Hundred
Li Miao hadn't taken off his luggage, which was still in the trunk of the car. He didn't need to pack anything, he could just leave.
Gong Wenbai got into the car. Li Miao hesitated for a moment, but still opened the passenger door.
Gong Wenbai has always driven very steadily, and Li Miao didn't feel much bumpiness even on the village roads.
When Qin Mucheng was around, the atmosphere in the car wasn't so awkward.
Now there were only two of them in the car, and the atmosphere inside became extremely awkward.
She was not familiar with Gong Wenbo and had no idea what to say.
But if she didn't speak, the car would be too silent and quiet. She didn't even dare to move, for fear of making any sound and attracting Gong Wenbo's attention.
After enduring all the way like this, I finally arrived home.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Li Miao couldn't help but covering his nose.
What's wrong with my house? Why does it smell so bad?
Realizing something, her face turned red and she hurried forward to take the gift from Gong Wenbo.
"Brother Gong, there's no one at home, so I won't keep you here. Be careful on your way back..."
Before she finished her words, she heard someone calling her from afar: "Miaomiao, Xiaogong?"
Li Miao turned around and saw that it was Li Yong.
He was riding a bicycle, all dirty.
As soon as he got closer, the smelly Li Miao covered his nose and took a step back.
This retreat happened to fall on Gong Wenbo.
Li Miao quickly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't see it..."
Gong Wenbai shook his head silently, with his head lowered, looking a little uncomfortable.
After Li Miao stood firm, he looked at Li Yong in annoyance: "Brother, what are you doing? Why does it stink so bad?"
Li Yong smiled awkwardly: "Well, it's a circle! Xiao Gong, thank you for taking Miaomiao back. It's not convenient at home today. Come to my house for dinner another day."
Gong Wenbai shook his head, his expression regained his composure: "You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll be leaving first."
He nodded to Li Miao, got in the car, and left the Li family's door.
Seeing the car leave, Li Miao breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Li Yong's embarrassed appearance, he asked helplessly, "Second brother, why don't you just go around and find someone? Why do you stink so badly?"
Li Yong said: "I asked them to get it in the greenhouse, and I spread it on the field myself. I can't let it go to waste."
Toilets in the countryside are all dry toilets. When the pit underneath is full, someone has to be hired to clean it.
In the countryside, it’s called “starting a circle”!
This job is dirty and tiring, so usually we hire a specialized person to do the cleaning.
"Is it that serious? How much money can this save? The family is just short of money for two bags of fertilizer?" Li Miao said helplessly, "Are you done? Go wash it quickly! If Xiaomin smells this, will she still want you?"
Li Yong stretched out his hand as if to hit her: "Go, how can you make such a joke?"
Li Miao quickly dodged and stuck out her tongue at Li Yong.
Li Yong sighed and told Li Miao about the current situation at home.
Li Yong didn't really believe what Li Xu said.
But since everyone in his family believed him, he had no choice but to do as everyone wished.
So after harvesting vegetables that are not tolerant to waterlogging, such as peppers and spinach, they were all replaced with cucumbers and tomatoes.
Also, no fertilizer was added.
Li Yong was naturally unwilling to accept this and always felt it was a pity.
What to do if the family does not allow him to buy fertilizer? Li Yong finds ways to apply farmyard manure.
After hearing what Li Yong said, Li Miao's expression became serious. She remained silent and did not speak.
She believed in her elder sister. She would not say such things for no reason. Could it be...
Li Yong returned home and took a thorough bath before taking Li Miao to the fields.
From a distance, they saw several people gathered at the edge of the field. They were the people from the village who were also growing greenhouse crops with their family.
"Uncle Zhiming, what's going on recently? Why don't you buy fertilizer?"
"Yeah, it seems like your family hasn't been paying much attention lately. Is the market not doing well recently?"
"Is there any news? If so, you must tell us!"
…
Other people in the village who grow crops in greenhouses all follow Li Zhiming's family.
They planted whatever Li Zhiming's family planted, applied fertilizer when Li Zhiming's family applied fertilizer, and watered the plants when Li Zhiming's family watered the plants.
After all, they have no experience and the greenhouse is not cheap, so they have no choice but to do this for safety reasons.
They thought that even if they couldn’t make a lot of money by copying others, they could at least make a little money, right?
But these few days, something was clearly not right in Li Zhiming's family.
In the past, they would buy a batch of fertilizer every few days, but it has been almost half a month and Li Zhiming's family has not bought a bag of fertilizer.
Moreover, Li Zhiming’s greenhouse used to grow a wide variety of crops, but recently there seem to be fewer varieties in the fields.
Anyway, everything is abnormal.
As a result, several people in the village who grew greenhouses couldn't help but come over and try to get some information from Li Zhiming.
Li Zhiming did not hide his feelings and said, "I think there will be a lot of rain this year. I am afraid that the fields will be flooded. We have invested too much money and it will all go down the drain."
"Uncle Zhiming, this is not fair of you. We are not trying to steal your business. You sell yours and we sell ours. We are all from the same village. Do you have to make up such a reason to deceive us?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhiming, we have been neighbors for so many years. If you have any inside information, just tell us!"
Li Zhiming was quite helpless: "I really didn't lie to you, I don't have any inside information!"
When the neighbors heard this, they smacked their lips and simply stopped asking questions.
Looking at this situation, there is nothing more to be gained by asking.
Several people left one after another, and when they left, they looked at Li Zhiming with some unfriendly eyes.
That look made Li Yong feel helpless.
"What are those looks? Do they take my kindness for granted?" Li Yong muttered.
Li Zhiming shouted at him, "Okay, why are you competing with them?"
"They've been secretly learning how to do things from us all day long, and you think we don't know? I'm too lazy to bother with them!" Li Yong muttered again, "Anyway, we've said everything we need to say, and it's their own business what they do. If they come again in the future, just ignore them!"
Li Zhiming sighed, "You are still too young."
On the other hand, after those people in the village left, they began to feel suspicious.
"That's not right. I think Li Zhiming is doing something bad to us!" One of them, named Li Danian, said with a smacking of his lips.
"I also think something is wrong. How many dishes did Li Yong and Li Lei deliver in the past few days? They must have made a lot of money. They must be afraid that we will get involved in such a profitable business. They are planning something bad!"
"What bad things could he have planned? He is usually such an honest person. Besides, what good would he gain from doing this?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Li Danian quickly figured it out.
"I understand now. Li Zhiming's move is to kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of his own! How sinister!"
"What's the meaning?"
