Lin Yan suddenly opened her eyes!
It was already broad daylight, and she was the only one still asleep in the west room.
Hearing the knock, she quickly got up, dressed, and opened the door to find a very anxious face.
"Mother, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Your two uncles just came over and said something happened at the goji berry plantation!"
"What?! I'm coming over right now."
She didn't have time to eat breakfast.
After a quick wash, he grabbed a pancake and followed Ye Lan out the door.
Upon arriving at the goji berry garden, she realized the seriousness of the situation…
After these days of intensive work.
The fence around the goji berry garden is almost complete, but the building at the main gate is still under construction, so there is no one guarding it at night.
She was just too busy and careless!
As Lin Yan inspected the wolfberry seedlings one by one, Ye Mei and the others followed behind her dejectedly, their faces full of guilt.
"Yan'er, we found the area near the gate trampled when we arrived this morning. We rushed into the garden to check, and sure enough, a lot of the goji berry seedlings had been damaged! It's our fault; we should have sent someone to watch over them!"
"Uncle, Aunt, it's not your fault, it's my fault for not thinking things through."
She originally thought that since the wolfberry garden was located in such a remote place, surrounded by a wall, and the villagers had never seen wolfberry seedlings before, they probably wouldn't deliberately damage it.
She had too high an opinion of human nature.
These kinds of people don't need her to plant anything; all they want is to cause destruction.
"These people must have arrived before dawn this morning. When we came over, we couldn't see them at all, only a scene of devastation. I took a quick look, and two or three acres of goji berry seedlings were trampled! It's outrageous!"
Lin Yan had a gloomy, cold face.
She inspected each of the damaged goji berry seedlings one by one, and the more she looked, the more frightening her expression became!
These goji berry seedlings were planted by her family after many days of hard work, getting up early and working late.
Even though she pruned almost all the goji berry branches in the mountains, she could only barely cultivate and plant twenty acres of them!
She planted easy-to-grow vegetable seeds on the remaining ten acres of land.
She recently started building a house, and because she hired twenty craftsmen from the village, she not only paid them high prices, but also provided them with meat for lunch every day.
As a result, most people in the village treated her kindly, and after she killed the bear, the villagers became even more careful and cunning towards her.
She really couldn't imagine that anyone would hold a grudge against her.
Suddenly, her left foot kicked something that glittered silver.
She bent down to pick it up.
She discovered it was a small silver earring, and a figure suddenly flashed through her mind.
Stroking the silver earring, Lin Yan had already come up with a plan, and a ruthless smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.
"Let's try these goji berry seedlings. Maybe they can be saved, but it will be a bit troublesome. We might have to trouble my uncle and aunt."
Everyone present was overjoyed to hear that the goji berry seedlings could be saved.
Ye Mei, Ye Zhu, and the others felt a great sense of relief, and their guilt lessened somewhat.
"No trouble at all. As long as we can save them and prevent these seedlings from being ruined, that's all that matters. Your second uncle and I will stay here tonight. This afternoon, I'll go back to the village and bring a dog. If they come again, I'll unleash the dog and kill them!"
“It’s cold at night now, and the house isn’t finished yet. If my uncles stay here overnight, they’ll catch a cold the next day. Just move the dogs over as before. The doghouse is already built; I’ll go back and get an old quilt for them. Don’t worry about the people who destroyed the goji berry seedlings. I already know who did it. I’ll teach them a lesson when I get back, and I guarantee they won’t dare come back!”
Lin Yan directly rejected their proposal.
After all, the days in the Northwest are fine in autumn, but it gets very cold at night.
Therefore, people would heat the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) to sleep on autumn and winter nights.
As for the wolfberry garden, let alone the heated brick bed.
The houses aren't even finished yet. If you stay here for one night, you might freeze to death the next day!
After telling her two uncles how to save the wolfberry seedlings, Lin Yan went straight back.
To expedite the construction of the houses in the wolfberry orchard, she hired several more craftsmen to work overtime.
After working for most of the day, by noon, Lin Yan finally realized something was wrong.
Xie Muqing seemed unusually quiet today.
Normally she would call out "Wife, wife," but today she was as quiet as a quail.
During lunch, he practically buried his head in his bowl, remaining completely silent, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Is this kid secretly plotting something big?
Why are you so quiet today? Are you not feeling well?
At that time, Xie Muqing was reading a book in the courtyard. Of course, if you looked closely, you could see that his unfocused gaze was not on the book.
A crisp sound suddenly came from behind him, startling him. He hurriedly put away his books, his voice unconsciously revealing a hint of panic.
"No, nothing."
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yan was in front of him.
Looking at that concerned little face, Xie Muqing didn't dare to meet her gaze at all.
His mouth went dry just thinking about what happened that morning…
Last night he had an incredibly erotic dream, and he could hardly believe the scenes in it.
He was actually entangled with the woman in front of him!
When he woke up, his bedding was...
Fortunately, it was still early, so he secretly changed his pants...
Even if he never had such erotic dreams when he was young!
Xie Muqing once thought there was something wrong with her, and even had some concerns about her health...
He couldn't understand why, despite his loathing for Lin Yan, he would have such intimate dreams.
He attributed all the reasons to seeing something he shouldn't have seen last night, which led to his current state of mind.
Yes, that's for sure!
It was completely unexpected.
Xie Muqing suddenly felt a warm touch on his forehead.
He looked over in astonishment and met Lin Yan's questioning yet concerned gaze.
"You seem a bit strange today; you don't have a fever!"
Listening to her murmurs, Xie Muqing awkwardly shifted her gaze, her ears turning red as she shivered and avoided her touch.
"I already told you I'm fine, you can go do your thing."
His evasive manner, in Lin Yan's eyes, was a sign of his resistance to her physical contact.
Suddenly, the image of Lin Xinghua's swollen, red eyes flashed through her mind, and she sighed almost inaudibly:
"Okay, if you feel unwell, be sure to tell me. I'm going to get back to work now."
Lin Yan spent the entire afternoon tinkering with the tools she needed in the west room.
Thinking about what she was going to do that night, a wicked and excited glint flashed in her eyes.
Someone who has the audacity to destroy her goji berry garden and bully her and escape unscathed has not yet been born!
Tonight she's going to show them why the flowers are so red!
