In the afternoon, a lot of people stood in Xiang Wanwan's yard.
Everyone brought baskets or winnowing trays to collect seeds. They had been living off supplies for many years on the island, but since the chief's wife arrived, she had been growing vegetables and raising pigs, which had really ignited everyone's enthusiasm.
This time there are so many different kinds of seeds, and they are all eager to try.
After all, who doesn't want to have plenty to eat and drink?
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Xiang Wanwan cleared her throat and said:
"Aunties, several kinds of seeds arrived yesterday. Based on the current season, I chose wheat, corn and soybeans."
"Everyone can take them back and try planting them in the wasteland."
"On our island, the land isn't divided into categories; whoever cultivates it gets to farm it!"
"If anyone is in trouble, you can come to me or go directly to the organization. We will help you."
Many of the people present were moved to tears upon hearing this.
"Great! After so many years on the island, we can finally see hope."
"That's right! Before, we ate as much as we were given, but now, as long as we work a little harder, we won't have to worry about not having enough to eat in the future, and we might even have a surplus."
"Thanks to Comrade Xiang, there would be no such good thing without her."
"That's right, otherwise she wouldn't be the wife of a high-ranking official!"
Xiang Wanwan smiled faintly and began distributing the items to everyone.
People received what they wanted to plant; some only received corn and wheat, while others only received soybeans.
Although everyone is different, they all get along very well.
"Make way, all of you make way!"
Granny Chen pushed through the crowd with her hands and squeezed in, glaring angrily at Xiang Wanwan and Sister Wang.
"You vicious bastards, you're jealous because my daughter-in-law is pregnant, aren't you? You even made the child push her!"
"If anything happens to any of my Yan family's grandson, I'll make you pay!"
At this moment, Li Jinglan helped Xiang Shuxue walk in as well.
Xiang Shuxue clutched her stomach, her face pale, a stark contrast to the rosy-cheeked and arrogant woman she had been that morning.
She wiped away her tears, her voice weak.
"Sister, even though we've severed ties, we're still related by blood. Even if you're jealous that I got pregnant right after getting married, you can't encourage the child to do bad things."
"If I had fallen this morning, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save this child."
Her words caused an uproar.
Indeed, Comrade Xiang has been on the island for quite some time, but there has been no sign of pregnancy.
Unexpectedly, my younger sister, who had only been here for a short time, got pregnant first.
It's not impossible that Comrade Xiang pushed his sister out of jealousy because she was pregnant, using the child as a pretext.
However, after hearing the gossip about Comrade Xiang and her family last time, everyone felt that Comrade Xiang was in a worse situation.
So they all found it hard to believe that she could be that kind of person.
"It's just having a baby, what's there to be jealous of? It's not like she can't have a child!"
"That's right, Wang's child is only seven years old. How could someone that age understand such scheming?"
"I think they're just trying to scam someone! They're trying to frame Comrade Xiang so they can get some benefits out of it!"
When Xiang Shuxue heard everyone say that, she could hardly hide the hatred in her eyes.
She's pregnant, so why doesn't anyone believe her and instead believes that bitch?
It's just because she's the leader's wife that everyone tries to curry favor with her.
Not daring to confront Xiang Wanwan directly, Granny Chen turned her anger towards Sister Wang and began to roar:
"So it's because your father died that you have no one to teach you, huh!"
"They even push pregnant women; what kind of future can a child like that have..."
"Smack!"
Before she could finish speaking, Sister Wang slapped her across the face.
