A day later.
Li Xiangjun came to see Li Mingqing again.
He looked hesitant and unable to speak.
"What happened?"
"I don't even know how to start talking to you. It's hard to put it into words."
"Is there something wrong with the greenhouse?"
"The seedlings I brought back yesterday afternoon were damaged. All the leaves fell off, and I don't know if they can survive. I came here to ask if there are any seedlings left. If not, I'll go back and grow new seedlings from seeds."
He felt very sorry.
It’s a waste of Li Mingqing’s kindness, and it’s even more unfair to the villagers.
He and Li Mingfu just went home to drink a glass of water and when they came out again, the seedlings were ruined.
It is most likely done by Zhang Cuihua, but it could also be done by Zhao Guiying and Zhou Jingli.
No one else would do such a wicked thing.
It is even more impossible that it was done by people from outside the village.
Li Mingqing said: "There is more."
He lifted the thin blanket in the yard, revealing the vegetable seedlings.
He originally wanted to plant these in the yard.
He returned to the village with Li Xiangjun.
Many people gathered on the main road in the center of the village.
Li Mingfu scolded her, "Auntie, you are so foolish! How could you do such a detrimental thing? These are the vegetable seedlings that Ming and Qing worked so hard to get, and the villagers are counting on them to make money."
"I-I just acted on impulse."
Zhang Cuihua shrank her neck, feeling a little guilty being surrounded by the villagers.
Yesterday, when she passed by, she saw the vegetable seedlings on the truck and immediately cut down all the tops with a sickle.
After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he took the cut vegetable seedlings home to feed the chickens.
If it weren't for the seedlings and leaves he took home, Li Mingfu would not have been able to find the person who did such a wicked thing so quickly.
Wang Daguo stepped forward and said, "My mother was wrong in this matter. We will compensate her for the money she spent on the seedlings."
Zhang Cuihua was about to retort when she heard this, but when she saw the villagers staring at her with vicious eyes, she was too scared to speak.
If I get kicked out of the village, I’ll have nowhere to live.
It’s better to just let Wang Daguo clean up this mess.
But the fact that she had to pay the money was really killing her, as that was her pension money.
She thought to herself that even if she had to pay compensation, she would not give it out, so she let Wang Daguo and Wang Daya find a solution.
Li Mingfu said, "The seedlings were obtained by Ming Qingcai. The price has not yet been determined. I will let you know once it is finalized."
"I'm so sorry."
"Auntie, if it weren't for your age, this matter can't be let go."
Da Zhu Niang couldn't help but scold: "Zhang Cuihua, you won't be able to eat four dishes in your life."
"You can't even finish four dishes!"
The old village chief, Li Fugui, said, "Let's all go."
When the villagers saw Li Mingqing, they gathered around him.
"Ming Qing, we are the ones who let you down."
"Yes, you care so much about the villagers. It's thanks to you that the village can have enough food to eat."
"The grain seeds you brought in last time greatly increased grain production. The vegetable seedlings you brought in this time will also help the villagers make more money."
"Thinking about it this way, the contributions of the Ming and Qing dynasties were enormous."
"The Ming and Qing dynasties were good people. Even after they became prosperous, they still didn't forget to help us."
…
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "I don't know what to say after hearing everyone's praise."
"Thank you so much."
Li Mingfu looked at the cart behind him.
I breathed a sigh of relief looking at the green seedlings on the cart.
It will take one more month to grow vegetable seedlings from seeds again.
"Mingqing, please make this trip."
"I'll go check out the greenhouse."
On the way to the greenhouse.
Li Mingfu took the money out of his pocket.
"This is the money that my fellow villagers and I collected. Take it."
"No, the seedlings are free."
"Take that too."
After Li Mingfu finished speaking, he stuffed it into his hand.
"I really don't want it," Li Mingqing put the money back into his pocket with a little force.
Li Mingfu was confused.
He didn't expect that Li Mingqing, who didn't work often, was stronger than him.
No wonder he was able to block the big rock with his bare hands.
Wang Daguo trotted behind him and shouted, "Wait a moment."
After catching up, he continued, "Mingqing, I'll buy the seedlings my mother destroyed. Here's fifty yuan. Take it first. When you're done, write me an IOU and I'll pay you back slowly."
Li Mingqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Why are so many people coming to give him money?
There is really no need for that.
"No, let's wait until the greenhouse makes money."
"No, I'm embarrassed to tell you that my mother did something like this. Hurry and take it."
Li Mingqing advised, "Really, there's no need. I didn't even take the money Mingfu gave me just now. But don't tell your mother about this. Just say you're paying her back so she can learn her lesson."
"Oh, I can't control her. I really can't do anything."
"I thought she was quite scared when you got angry last time."
He smiled awkwardly.
It may work once or twice, but if you do it every time, it will be of no use.
I've been living a pretty quiet life these past few days since I moved out.
When Li Mingqing arrived at the village, the greenhouse had been covered with oil paper.
It looks quite realistic.
There were several people watering in the greenhouse.
Li Xiangjun has already prepared a list of people who will take turns watering, ventilating, fertilizing and weeding every day.
Just come on time every day.
"Mingqing, the seedlings you got are so good. I planted them yesterday and they're already sprouting this morning. The leaves haven't shriveled at all."
"The bean seedlings I bought from the market before took at least two or three days to plant."
"I told Ming Qing that it must be reliable."
Li Mingqing was relieved to see that the seedlings were growing so well.
