Shen Congxin forced a smile as she looked at Jiang Yaojie's pale and weak face.
Jiang Ling walked over to Jiang Yaojie and patted him on the head, saying, "Calm down, your wife needs to rest!"
Jiang Yaojie immediately stopped what he was doing and said to Shen Congxin in a low voice, "Wife, you should rest well!"
Chen Congxin was probably too weak after giving birth, so she nodded and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang Ling pulled Jiang Yaojie out of the bedroom and said to him, "This is your wife's first pregnancy, so you need to be careful, especially about her health! Do you understand?"
Jiang Yaojie frowned, looked at Jiang Ling, shook his head, then nodded. Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Yaojie and guessed that he probably didn't understand her thoughts.
However, Jiang Ling couldn't use trendy modern terms like "hormone secretion" or "postpartum depression."
Jiang Ling's eyes darted around as she continued, "Pay close attention to your wife's emotions! Women really need care after giving birth! And during her postpartum period, you should take care of the baby as much as possible! Don't think it's shameful for a man to take care of the baby!"
"You must remember, childbirth is always a life-or-death ordeal for women!"
Jiang Yaojie probably needed some time to process these words, but he still obediently nodded and said, "Mother, I understand. I will take good care of Congxin!"
After Grandma Zhu and Grandma Mei had comforted Shen Congxin, they came out of the bedroom.
"Mothers-in-law, this is Congxin's first child, so we'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on things for us!"
Grandma Zhu and Grandma Mei nodded and said in unison, "Yes, Madam!"
After Jiang Ling finished dealing with the most important matters, she looked towards the door. By now, all the troublemakers had been pinned to the ground by Jiang Shan and his group.
Some of the timid and cowardly have already run away.
But the leading man was still unconvinced and resentful, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Ling as she walked out of the house.
Jiang Ling felt even angrier looking at the man in front of her. If she weren't a fifth-rank Anren and had this amazing mall, Shen Congxin would probably be dead and his unborn child by now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ling pointed at the man and scolded, "Do you dare to repeat what you just said?"
The man knelt on the ground, spat fiercely, and continued to curse, "What wouldn't I dare! You vile woman, you've ruined our crops! You're the one who deserves to die!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling suddenly laughed. She looked at the man in front of her and said, "Fine, since you think there's a problem with the fertilizer, then dare you take me to your field to take a look!"
The man suddenly stiffened his neck and said, "What's there to be afraid of!"
Jiang Ling glanced at Jiang Shan, who was holding him down, and said, "Let him go! I'll go to the fields with him and see what's going on!"
Jiang Shan hesitated after hearing this, worried about Jiang Ling's safety. These unruly people could be ruthless and ungrateful when they went berserk.
Jiang Ling guessed what Jiang Shan was thinking. She smiled faintly at Jiang Shan and said, "You're coming with me!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shan finally relaxed his grip, and just then Hu Yue'er and Zhou Daxia ran out from inside.
Although they didn't witness the thrilling scene just now, they did hear some rumors.
Hu Yue'er, looking worried, gripped Jiang Ling's arm and said, "Big sister, let me go with you!"
Jiang Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Jiang Shan and the others around, they won't dare to do anything to me!"
As they spoke, Jiang Shan had already led out the carriage. Jiang Ling looked at the man and asked, "Did you bring the contract?"
The man carefully took out the contract he had signed with Duan Kang'an from his pocket, hesitating whether to hand it to Jiang Ling.
"If you're afraid I'll tear up the contract and deny it, then tell me your name and which village you're from," Jiang Ling said disdainfully to the man.
"My name is Wang Daniu from the village next to yours, Wangjia Village!"
“Alright, Wang Daniu, then we’ll meet at Wangjia Village!” With that, Jiang Ling got into the carriage herself and gestured for Jiang Shan to drive.
Jiang Ling was very fast, and arrived at Wangjia Village in less than half an hour. Looking at the unfriendly eyes of those people, Jiang Ling knew that those cowardly people who ran back earlier definitely hadn't said anything nice.
Jiang Ling figured that since Jiang Shan was with her now, she wasn't worried. When she got off the carriage, she coldly glanced at the crowd and asked, "Which of you is the village chief of Wangjia Village?"
Although no one spoke, all eyes turned to a man in the group who was about the same age as their village chief.
Although the man was somewhat frightened, his eyes were very determined. When he noticed that everyone's eyes were unconsciously looking at him, he coughed lightly and walked out from the crowd.
"That's me! If I'm not mistaken, you must be that Jiang woman from Lujia Village!"
The tone was clearly full of hostility, but Jiang Ling was not annoyed and continued to speak with a straight face: "That's right, I am Jiang from Lujia Village. You should know why I came here this time without me having to say it, right?"
"Tsk... What's the meaning of this shameless woman coming to our Wangjia Village!"
"Hey, keep your voice down! She's a fifth-rank official, two ranks higher than our county magistrate's seventh-rank. If she really wants to arrest you and put you in jail, do you think you'll have any chance of escaping?"
"Tsk, so what if she's Anren? Wasting our food like this, I'd say the Emperor should throw her in jail!"
"You silly woman! I've never seen you so talkative before! Are you suddenly all excited? Get home and nurse your baby right now, or I'll beat you up!"
Rather than calling these whispers, it would be more accurate to say that these people were speaking in unison to Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling didn't care. After glancing at the village chief, she said, "Let's go take a look in the fields!"
The village chief was worried that Jiang Ling would cause trouble by coming over now, posing as a member of the An family, so he hesitated and didn't speak.
"Alright, I'm not in a hurry anyway. You guys wait for Wang Daniu to come back! Wasn't this something Wang Daniu started? I'll go to Wang Daniu's fields first and see what's going on."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Jiang Ling's words, and the village chief nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ling ignored these people and got back into the carriage, instructing Jiang Shan to notify her once he saw Wang Daniu.
About half an hour later, as Jiang Ling was idly leaning against the carriage, secretly reading a book about agronomy, Jiang Shan whispered to her through the curtain, "Madam, Wang Daniu and the others are back!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling quickly placed the book in the mall's storage room and lifted the curtain to look into the distance.
As Wang Daniu and several other figures gradually came into focus, their forms became clearer.
Jiang Ling calmly stepped down from the carriage and looked at the panting Wang Daniu, asking, "Where is your field?"
Wang Daniu pointed to a piece of land not far away and said, "It's right there!"
Jiang Ling looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the nearby fields, which covered several acres, were not green at all, but rather withered and lifeless.
Jiang Ling ignored everyone and led Jiang Shan in the direction Wang Daniu pointed.
When she arrived at the edge of the field, Jiang Ling immediately noticed the problem.
