A few days later, news came from the county government that Peng Shao often caused trouble, raped women, committed murder and arson, and was sentenced to death.
The head of the Peng family was convicted of a series of crimes including sheltering, bribing, and helping to conceal evidence. His money was confiscated and he was imprisoned for twenty years. It was Gu Jiajun who helped him arrest and execute the criminals.
Liu Xiaojiao was arrogant and domineering, and was involved in human trafficking and was imprisoned for ten years.
Liu Hai stole and embezzled his master's money. He returned all the money and was sentenced to twenty years in prison.
Eight of Liu Hai's accomplices also received the punishment they deserved and were sent to prison.
In the next few days, Xiao Ling'er was conducting assessments. She wanted to select the real talents from the remaining people on the farm.
She set up several official positions, including the chief gardener, vegetable manager, fruit manager, medicine manager, and group leader.
The chief director is equivalent to a modern company owner, managing the entire farm.
The vegetable manager is equivalent to a workshop director, who is responsible for managing vegetables.
The fruit manager is the same as the vegetable manager, and is specifically responsible for managing the fruit area.
The chief pharmacist is also responsible for managing medicinal herbs.
As for the team leaders, they are the right-hand men of the medicine, fruit and vegetable managers, helping with management.
Nowadays, Xiao Ling'er pays them wages every six months, and every quarter, there are bonuses and commissions based on performance.
Li Mancang is still the acting manager. After all, they are partners with common interests.
After the matter in Misty Village was settled, Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting set out on their journey again.
Their next destination was Yangzhou. Xiao Ling'er wanted to see Ye Wanwan and the girls and children who were rescued.
The two continued to stop and go along the way. After passing through three towns, they did not encounter any bad things, but instead encountered a happy event.
A couple was getting married, and when Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting passed by, they were invited to the wedding banquet.
Perhaps influenced by the happy event, not long after, Xiao Ling'er was found to be two months pregnant.
This is a happy event for Xiao Ling'er. She is not disappointed if she doesn't have a child, and she doesn't reject having a child either.
No, in fact, Xiao Ling'er has been very much looking forward to it since she found out she was pregnant.
However, something was not right with Gu Yunting. Xiao Ling'er noticed him staring at her belly with complicated eyes several times.
"Gu Yunting, do you think we should prepare something in advance?"
That day, Xiao Ling'er bought a parenting book from the system mall and talked to Gu Yunting while reading it.
Unexpectedly, after she talked for a long time, she found that Gu Yunting did not respond to her. She looked up and found that he was looking at her belly with a strange look again.
His eyes were strange. Besides uncertainty, there was also a sense of wariness and a hint of hostility.
Moreover, his overall state was not right. I always felt that he was afraid of something. He looked a little dazed and absent-minded.
Xiao Ling'er was shocked. This...
"Gu Yunting?" Xiao Ling'er shouted again.
Gu Yunting finally came to his senses and immediately approached Xiao Ling'er, asking with concern: "Ling'er, what's wrong?"
"Gu Yunting, let me ask you, do you dislike children?" Xiao Ling'er said, holding her breath and looking at Gu Yunting.
"I……"
"Don't tell lies." Xiao Ling'er interrupted Gu Yunting.
"Well, I don't like children." Gu Yunting answered in a low voice.
Xiao Ling'er felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over her head, and her body trembled. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
