Chapter 11 On purpose?

Ning Meng looked at the woman in front of her and frowned slightly. A vague shadow flashed across her mind, but she couldn't call out her name for the moment.

"I am Lin Sheng's daughter-in-law Yanhua."

Yan Hua's face was filled with vicissitudes of life, and there seemed to be endless stories in her eyes. Her voice was hoarse: "I was the one who suggested they plant potatoes, but I didn't expect... poisoning."

"How do you know about this potato?"

Ning Meng looked at Yan Hua thoughtfully and said slowly: "I haven't seen it before, right?"

According to what she has learned in the past two days, there is no potato product in Dachen Kingdom, but how does Yan Hua know?

Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, a hint of darkness and nervousness flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head: "I once read a tourist's handbook, which recorded this kind of food. Because there has been a famine in many places in the past two years, I also

I just want everyone to have a better life, but I didn’t expect..."

"But where did the seeds come from?"

"I found it in the back mountain once, so I brought it back. I tried it and it was fine, so I let everyone grow it. But now there is a problem. I really don't know what happened?"

"That's because the potatoes have been left for too long and turned green and sprouted. Fresh potatoes are fine."

"Really?"

Yan Hua's eyes lit up and she looked at Ning Meng excitedly: "Does that mean anything freshly dug out of the ground can be eaten?"

"Yes!"

"Great, I can finally feel relieved."

Yan Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and her frown relaxed a lot.

The next second, she looked sad and worried again: "But now the villagers don't believe me, what should I do?"

the other side:

"Village Chief, have you been deceived?"

One of the middle-aged men looked straight at Village Chief Lin, his tone a little worried and suspicious: "Is the Lu family's wife really worthy of our trust?"

"That's right, why did she buy our poisonous potatoes? Is there something shameful about it?"

"Yes, this is really strange. With her arrogant and unreasonable personality, are you sure she's not playing tricks on us?"

"But if these potatoes are really poisonous, then we can just give them to her. Why would we ask the village chief to buy them?"

"Who knows what evil thoughts she has?"

"Okay, please stop saying a word!"

Village Chief Lin glanced at everyone with a complicated expression and motioned for them to quiet down: "It will become clear when she comes, so stop arguing."

Everyone: "..."

====

When Ning Meng and Yan Hua arrived at their destination, they saw the villagers staring with different expressions.

"Look, the Lu family's wife is here."

As soon as these words came out, all the villagers looked at Ning Meng not far away and were instantly excited.

"Ning Meng, I heard that you want to buy everyone's potatoes. Is this true?"

The speaker was Aunt Ping's son Lin Zheng, who was looking at Ning Meng curiously and doubtfully.

"it is true."

Ning Meng glanced at everyone and said bluntly: "But there is something that must be made clear in advance."

"What's the matter? Aren't these potatoes poisonous? What's the use of buying them?"

"Also, where did you get the money for the purchase? Are you kidding us?"

"Just, just, don't forget that you have elderly people and children at home. Is it really okay to waste money like this?"

"stop……"

Ning Meng watched them chattering endlessly and couldn't help but make a gesture.

"First, the reason why these potatoes are poisonous when eaten is because they have been left for too long and have turned green and sprouted. But if the potatoes are freshly dug out of the ground, they are fine and can be eaten as food."

"Second, if you absolutely don't want these potatoes for fear of something happening, then sell them to me at a penny per pound {a penny = 0.2 yuan}, on a voluntary basis!"

"Thirdly, Yan Hua suggested that everyone grow potatoes out of good intentions and did not deceive anyone. So please don't blame her for this! You can consider the current situation at home and save some for food."

When everyone saw this, they looked at each other, a little at a loss.

"Ning Meng, are you sure you're not playing tricks on us?"

Lin Ye looked at Ning Meng with a look of disbelief: "At the beginning, my sister-in-law also swore that she could eat it, but in the end...if you really want to buy it, I will be the first to sell it."

"Uncle, I really didn't lie to you, these fresh potatoes are really delicious. Ning Meng also explained it just now!"

Seeing this, Yan Hua couldn't help but step forward to argue: "There is a shortage of food now. If you really sell it all, what will you do then?"

"I don't care, I'm going to sell it anyway, at least I won't lose everything."

"Yes, my family is too!"

"Me too……"

For a while, most villagers were still afraid of something happening and chose to sell.

"Okay, for those who don't want to keep the potatoes, send them all to my house tomorrow. I'll pay the price on the spot. I hope you won't regret it in the future, let alone blame anyone."

Ning Meng looked at everyone and finalized the matter without hesitation: "This matter will be witnessed by the village chief. Is everyone okay?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Ning Meng returned home and saw two little cats playing in the yard. The childlike innocence and joy they exuded made people enjoy themselves unconsciously.

"Ning Meng, what exactly do you want to do?"

Gu Shi looked at Ning Meng with a sullen face: "Why did you provoke those villagers for no reason? Where did you get the money to buy those poisonous potatoes?"

"It can be eaten as food."

Ning Meng looked at Gu Shi, who looked worried, and said calmly: "Aren't we eating potatoes these two days? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"But……"

Gu Shi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously touched her belly, looking a little weird.

"There's nothing wrong with these fresh potatoes, don't worry!"

Ning Meng saw the hesitation and confusion on Gu's face, so she said nothing more and decided directly: "I will not do anything that harms others or myself."

Gu: "..."

Why do you think Ning Meng has changed a lot compared to before?

But are her words really credible?

Naturally, Ning Meng didn't know what Gu was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu. She paused for a moment and walked to the side room.

At this moment, her mood was actually a bit complicated.

I thought that when I came here, I would be a widow and raise a child, and my life without a man could still be colorful.

But who knew that the man he picked up with a soft heart at this moment turned out to be...

Damn, wouldn’t my future life plans have to change?

But, how to put it?

The husband I picked up for free was quite handsome. In modern times, he would probably be the best movie actor.

Well, maybe she wants to be more open-minded and think of him as a life-stimulating agent!

"ah……"

The next second, Ning Meng walked to the door, and when she happened to meet someone's face, the scar on his face was startled, and she instinctively took a few steps back.

"What's the ghost's name?"

"You...your face..."

Ning Meng took a deep breath and looked at him straightly, somewhat incredulously: "On purpose?"
