Lu Yanchen glanced in Gu Chen's direction and handed the torch as evidence to Captain Wang. "I'd like to trouble you to help investigate this matter."
"good."
Captain Wang agreed and organized everyone to leave.
"Ahem, Captain Wang, wait a moment."
Lu Lan came back from the vegetable garden beside the wall coughing, and brought an armful of vegetables to Captain Wang and the villagers.
"I'm sorry to bother you tonight. I don't have anything to serve at home. Please take some food back with you. Don't be shy."
Everyone looked at Captain Wang. They really wanted it. Not every household could grow vegetables in the yard like Lu Yanchen's family, let alone a wide variety of vegetables.
These good vegetable seeds also cost money to buy, and they usually can't afford to buy them, so they only have some radishes, cabbages and sweet potato leaves at home, and they are tired of eating them every day.
Captain Wang could see that the villagers wanted something, so he sighed and said, "Everyone take a little, don't fight over it."
"Okay, okay."
Everyone happily took the food from Lu Lan's arms and said to her, "Sister Lu, you are not in good health, so please sit down first. We can pick it ourselves."
"Yes, yes, we can just pull them out ourselves. We promise not to mess up your vegetable patch."
After everyone finished talking, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed to the vegetable field. They all smiled when they saw Lu Xiao pulling vegetables, leaving Lu Xiao, whose face was covered in dust and sweat, looking confused.
Why are these people suddenly so enthusiastic about their family?
Lu Lan was also surprised. He was looking at the villagers who were chatting and laughing while picking vegetables in the vegetable field, at a loss, and was too dazed to react.
This was the first time in their lives that so many people came to their house.
When the chicken coop caught fire, she felt helpless and desperate because the villagers didn't like their family and no one would come to help them.
But she didn't expect that everyone would come, carrying buckets of water from their homes and rushing to put out the fire. They also protected her who was coughing and let her rest first.
Captain Wang glanced at the bewildered Lu Lan, then glanced at the group happily pulling vegetables in the vegetable patch before explaining, "You have Song Zhiqing to thank for all this. Everyone has a very good impression of him, and that's why they're gradually no longer afraid of your family."
"Song Zhiqing gave candy to many children today, and most of those who came to help with the fire were their parents."
Lu Lan was very surprised when she heard it. She lowered her head and wiped her tears, unable to speak. She was very grateful to Song Chi in her heart. It was his arrival that changed this depressing environment that suffocated her.
After her husband passed away, she hardly went out because she was afraid of going out and being criticized by others. So she stayed at home for many years and never communicated with outsiders.
If it weren't for Song Chi, she probably would never have had any contact with the villagers again until her death.
