Chapter 8 Who dares to stay?
"That is, you must stay away from that man who is worse than a beast and protect yourself."
"You are orphans and widowed now, and you also have a mother-in-law. It is really not safe. If you have anything to do, you can ask for help. Don't be polite to us!"
"..."
For a while, the simple villagers kept talking to each other, and they suddenly forgot the original owner's previous bad behavior and reputation.
"Thank you for your concern!"
Ning Meng bowed to everyone, looked at the people who were fleeing, and then looked at the sympathetic villagers, the corner of her lips curled up slightly, well, the backwash was successful, so this scene was not in vain.
It's... so difficult!
The plants in the fields were swaying in the wind, as if they were greeting Ning Meng warmly, which made her feel indescribably happy.
But at this moment, many people were heard sighing and resenting not far away:
"It's all my fault for that stinky Lin family woman who insisted on us planting these crappy potatoes. Now they're all turned into waste."
"That's right, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have listened to her. Now it's a problem for us to even eat!"
"Yes, what should we do? I heard that there have been droughts recently and food is in short supply!"
"I originally thought I could grow these and sell them, or exchange them for some food, but now this situation is a bit of a daydream."
"No, we have to go to the village chief to discuss a solution!"
"Yes, let's go find the village chief!"
As a group of people left, Ning Meng quickly came to where the group of people were standing just now.
I found that there were actually a lot of potatoes that had not been dug out, but there was very little food that could really fill my stomach.
She rolled her eyes and a plan came into her mind...
===-
When Ning Meng arrived at the village chief's house, the villagers also left.
In the yard, Village Chief Lin's old face showed a touch of sadness and worry, and he sighed heavily.
"Daughter-in-law of the Lu family, why did you come to my house?"
Huang, the village chief's daughter-in-law, looked at Ning Meng at the door with a wary expression, and said in a bad tone: "I don't have anything at home, please leave quickly."
Ning Meng was stunned for a moment, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly: "Auntie, I'm here to see the village chief!"
"Find me?"
Village Chief Lin came over and looked at Ning Meng in confusion: "What happened?"
"That's right, I'm here to thank you for your help that day... These are just small thoughts, please don't take it personally."
Ning Meng handed him a bag of candy and a fish that she took out from the space, with a sincere look on her face: "There is something else I want to discuss with you!"
"What's up?"
Village Chief Lin looked at the things in the basket and was slightly startled: "Tell me?"
Mrs. Huang on the side said with disdain, "Daughter-in-law of the Lu family, you'd better be calm and don't make any mistakes!"
"How do you talk?"
Village Chief Lin glared at Mr. Huang displeasedly: "You are a guest, you go in first."
Huang's face looked a little ugly, but because of her man's warning, she snorted and walked into the house.
"Village Chief Lin, I want to buy potatoes from the village. Can you help me?"
Ning Meng stopped being pretentious and explained her purpose straightforwardly.
If she goes out to purchase in her own name, no one will probably pay attention to her!
"What?"
Village Elder Lin was stunned, thinking he heard wrongly, and looked at Ning Meng in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know, I want to buy the villagers' potatoes and harvest as much as they can!"
Ning Meng saw Village Chief Lin's expression of disbelief, so she repeated it firmly!
"But those potatoes...well, if you really want them, it doesn't matter if they are given to you!"
If you eat potatoes, you will be poisoned. Who would dare to keep them?
