"Why do you always stop them from talking? Even if we take the case to the county government, the magistrate must know the whole story before he can make a judgment, right? You just come up and ask me to pay compensation without saying why. Why should I pay?"
Wang Muling's expression changed after being scolded, and then she shook her sleeves angrily, but she couldn't find any words to refute. What Xu Xingchen said made a lot of sense.
"How dare you criticize Mu Ling? You were the one who told her to pull the rice seedlings higher, saying it was better than the pesticides she developed. Now all the rice seedlings in the village are dead, and you're turning the tables and blaming her?"
Aunt Wang said viciously. Perhaps because she was too angry, she spoke very quickly. Wang Muling didn't even have time to stop her and could only give her a glance.
Xu Xingchen sneered. She didn't expect that Wang Muling would actually teach the stupid method of suppressing the growth of seedlings to the whole village. She didn't expect that the whole village actually believed it. How stupid must one be to believe in such a practice? It was really stupid!
"I'm sorry to everyone. I was researching pesticides at home every day. That day, Xu Xingchen came to me and said how pitiful I was. She said she could tell me a way to get twice the result with half the effort. I believed her, but I didn't expect it would end up hurting everyone."
Wang Muling started to cry as she spoke. After crying for a long while, she turned around and looked at Xu Xingchen with a stern look in her eyes. "Xu Xingchen, it's fine that you framed me, but now so many people's rice seedlings have been ruined because of your awful trick. If you don't compensate me, who will?"
Wang Muling's movements and expressions were extremely precise, and her movements were smooth and flowing. Xu Xingchen smacked his lips. With such good acting skills, it would be a shame if he didn't become an actor.
"That's right. Your lousy method has harmed everyone. Do you still want to deny it now?"
Aunt Wang pointed at Xu Xingchen's nose and scolded him coldly.
"Compensate us for the rice seedlings!"
"What can I do now? All the seedlings in my field have turned yellow. The next six months of my life depend on this field of crops. If the crops are destroyed, I won't be able to live!"
As the women spoke, they sat on the ground and started to make a scene. Wang Muling's face turned even more smug when she saw this. "See? This is what happens when you frame someone!"
"This is not the fate of framing someone. The fate of framing someone is yet to come."
Wang Muling looked at Xu Xingchen's smiling face and couldn't help but panic. He stiffened his neck and asked, "You...what do you mean?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?"
"Widow Xu! How dare you still speak like that about our Mu Ling? So many of our rice seedlings have been ruined, and you don't even bother to think about how to compensate us? You're still here making trouble!"
Aunt Wang patted her chest to calm down, then said with a smug look on her face, "Don't use your lousy tricks to deceive everyone again. Who gave you the face to think you're better than my Mu Ling? Do you know that she's the only top student in the village? How can a widow like you compare to her?"
Aunt Wang spat as she spoke, but unfortunately it was windy today, so not only did she not spit on Xu Xingchen's face, but the wind blew the spat all over her own face.
Xu Xingchen had no intention of entangled with them, so he just raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I'll go to the field first."
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to take a step, Wang Muling reached out to stop her. "Are you going to do something tricky again? I'm telling you, Xu Xingchen, you'd better give up your desire to cause trouble. I'll naturally count the number of seedlings for you, and you can compensate everyone then."
Xu Xingchen would never believe that the word "sabotage" would be used to describe her own land. She suddenly felt that there was no point in leading this group of fools to get rich. If it weren't for the mission, she wouldn't bother with them!
“Get out of the way!”
Xu Xingchen said as he pushed Wang Muling to the ground. Unexpectedly, Wang Muling rolled over and rushed to Xu Xingchen again without even bothering to brush the dirt off her butt. "I can't let you do anything harmful to the seedlings again!"
"That's strange. According to what you just said, the seedlings are completely hopeless. If that's the case, even if my sister went to the field and pulled all the seedlings out, it wouldn't matter. Why are you standing in front of her and saying you want to prevent her from doing anything harmful to the seedlings? Why is that?"
Jun Haoyue glanced at Wang Muling, then said meaningfully, "Could it be that those seedlings can still be saved? If so, then we don't have to pay for it."
When the people heard that Xu Xingchen would not compensate for the rice seedlings, they all became anxious and surrounded Wang Muling, saying, "Sister Wang, just let her go to the fields and take a look. That will convince her."
"I'm a businessman and I've always been honest and trustworthy. It's inappropriate for you to ask Miss Xu to compensate you for not allowing her to go to the land for evaluation, isn't it?" Zhao Gan, who was standing behind, also chimed in.
Wang Muling saw that everyone had this attitude. Although she was angry, she had no other choice. She didn't want Xu Xingchen to go to the field to check because she was afraid that Xu Xingchen would expose her in one fell swoop, but the situation was like this, so she had to give way.
The group went to the field. Xu Xingchen looked at the withered and yellow seedlings on the ground and felt heartbroken. They really felt sorry for her!
Xu Xingchen observed several plots of land. Fortunately, they were not too cruel. Not too many plants were pulled out, and the root systems were relatively intact. It should be possible to save them by trying nutrient solution.
Xu Xingchen took out several bottles of nutrient solution from her sleeve. She felt distressed. If she continued like this, even if her Menduner was very strong, the nutrient solution would not be in short supply.
"Bring some water."
After hearing this, the villagers hurriedly brought several buckets of water. Xu Xingchen dripped the nutrient solution into the water to dilute it, and then he painfully poured the diluted nutrient solution into the roots of the seedlings bit by bit.
In just half an incense stick of time, the leaves of the seedlings turned green. Xu Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her efforts were not in vain.
Everyone stared blankly at the green seedlings, not daring to breathe. Even Aunt Wang half-opened her mouth, unable to utter a word. The village suddenly became unusually quiet.
"I won't teach you such a stupid method that will harm others and yourself. You can decide for yourself whether it's good or bad."
Xu Xingchen put away the nutrient solution and prepared to leave. The villagers belatedly stopped her and said, "Sister Xu, you really are a savior. You actually saved such a crop."
"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Xu is truly a miracle worker who saved all of our lives."
…
A group of people surrounded Xu Xingchen and started praising him. Wang Muling knew that no matter what he said, the villagers would no longer believe him. He took a few steps behind the crowd, turned around and prepared to run away.
Unexpectedly, after running a few steps, someone grabbed her by the back of her collar and said, "Sister Wang, if you haven't done anything wrong, then why are you running? The villagers are not unreasonable."
Zhao Gan's voice came from behind Wang Muling, and Wang Muling shuddered all over. She had really had a bad start today and couldn't even escape.
