After the wedding banquet at Li Mingcheng's house, Lin Mai asked Fang Zhuoran to drive to the village chief's house in Wangjiacun and discuss with him about letting the people of Wangjiacun grow peppers in greenhouses.
Lin Mai's invitation to Li Mingcheng and his village to plant greenhouse peppers had already spread to Wangjiacun.
Although Lin Mai is no longer from Wangjia Village, he came from Wangjia Village, so he still has feelings for him after all.
But she had the advantage and would rather take care of other villages than Wangjia Village. The village chief of Wangjia Village was so depressed that he didn't even take a bite of lunch.
But he couldn't blame Lin Mai. Lin Mai's parents were nothing, and Lin Mai was afraid of avoiding them. Naturally, he didn't want to return to the village, so he wouldn't take care of Wangjiacun.
Now seeing Lin Mai taking the initiative to take care of Wangjia Village, the village chief was excited and repeatedly assured that he would do as she told him.
After talking, Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran were about to leave. The village chief sent them out, but they saw Lin Jianguo and his wife standing outside the door of his courtyard.
It was rare for Lin Mai to return to the countryside. They didn't even ask for a penny, so how could he be willing to do so?
I heard that Li Mingcheng's second sister got married and Lin Mai gave him a hundred yuan red envelope, so she had to pay at least a thousand yuan to him and his wife before she could leave.
That's why the couple blocked the courtyard gate of the village chief's house.
When Village Chief Wang saw them, he stopped and asked angrily: "Why are you standing here?"
Lin Jianguo pointed at Lin Mai: "We want to say a few words to Maizi."
Although the relationship between Lin Mai and his parents was not good, no matter how bad they were, they were still the same family, and Village Chief Wang had no reason to stop Lin Jianguo and his wife.
But neither Lin Mai nor Fang Zhuoran gave the couple a glance and walked straight to the jeep.
Sun Guixiang and his wife rushed forward to stop them.
Lin Jianguo said kindly: "Maizi, are you leaving now? Your mother has cooked chicken soup for you and your boyfriend to go back to eat!"
Sun Guixiang also helped: "It's the first time I brought my boyfriend back to my hometown. I didn't take him home because I was afraid that my parents would be poor and my boyfriend would look down on me? It's not good for you to be so vain."
Fang Zhuoran felt very unhappy when he saw that there was a knife hidden in Sun Guixiang's words.
He said coldly: "I don't want to go to your house. I don't bother to pay attention to anyone who treats Maizi badly.
So don’t throw dirty water on Maizi openly or covertly, even if you slander her, I won’t fall for it.”
Sun Guixiang couldn't keep it off her face, but she couldn't get angry at Fang Zhuoran. He was an upright professor!
She laughed along with her: "I have no other intention, I just want to treat you to chicken soup."
Lin Mai sarcastically said: "Is your chicken soup drinkable? I'm afraid a Hongmen banquet is waiting for me!"
After that, he pulled Fang Zhuoran away from Lin Jianguo and his wife and wanted to leave.
The two sides argued for less than five minutes, and many villagers came to watch.
Lin Bei also mingled with the crowd of onlookers. Seeing that Lin Jianguo and his wife could not stop Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran, she cursed the two losers in her heart and walked out of the crowd.
He frowned slightly and said to Lin Mai, "Mai Zi, how can you treat your parents' good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs?"
She glanced at Fang Zhuoran next to Lin Mai and said, "You are so narrow-minded, how will you get along with your husband's family in the future?"
Another one comes to stir up trouble.
Fang Zhuoran frowned in disgust and looked at Lin Bei sharply.
Lin Bei was so excited that her heart was pounding.
Lin Mai's boyfriend looked at her, finally looked at her! He was attracted by her charm!
Fang Zhuoran said coolly: "Are you the one who had an affair with Wu Xiaoyu, Maizi's sister Lin Bei, Lin Guogai?"
The proud look on Lin Bei's face instantly solidified, and coupled with her shocked expression, it was very funny.
She never expected that Fang Zhuoran's first words to her would be so heart-wrenching. How could she accept it?
It must be the little bitch who said bad things about her in front of him, which made Professor Fang hate her so much. How despicable!
What's even more irritating is that her original name was Lin E, because she disliked the name her parents gave her because it was vulgar and ugly.
When I was in junior high school, I deliberately changed my name to Lin Bei.
The reason why she chose the uncommon word "蓜" was to show that she had good taste, but she didn't expect that it would be self-defeating and just show that she was uneducated.
蓓: A pot lid made of grass.
Anyone who has some culture and knows the meaning of this word will not choose this word as a name.
Being laughed at by the man she liked, Lin Bei was no longer shameless and her face was burning.
Seeing that Lin Bei didn't speak, those villagers who were watching the excitement said scornfully: "Isn't it her or who is it?"
Fang Zhuoran had a meaningful smile on his face: "Whether my Maizi is narrow-minded or not, she is the treasure of our Fang family, so you don't have to worry about Maizi's status in the Fang family.
I think you should worry more about yourself. When we chatted with the villagers, many of them said that your life in your husband's family was very unsatisfactory."
Lin Bei was embarrassed and angry.
What's annoying is that Fang Zhuoran defends Lin Mai so much, and what's embarrassing is that he publicly laughs at her situation in her husband's family.
Fang Zhuoran opened the passenger door and let Lin Mai get in.
Sun Guixiang rushed over like an arrow from a string and slammed the car door, preventing Lin Mai from getting in the car.
He said to her with a slumped face: "Want to leave? OK, you can only leave if you give me, your father, and your brother five thousand yuan to build a house!"
Our house is about to collapse, you can’t be blind and can’t see.”
The more money the little bitch spends, the more she will open her mouth and ask for more.
When the villagers onlookers heard this, they all accused her of being too greedy and simply treating Lin Mai as a cash cow.
Sun Guixiang remained unmoved, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Lin Mai corrected: "I'm not blind, I just turned a blind eye.
Don't tell me that your house is about to collapse, even if it has already collapsed, I will not spend a penny to build your house."
"How dare you!" Lin Jianguo wiped away the previous amiability and said with a fierce expression, "Your mother and I have given you a hard time, and you dare not give me thousands of dollars to build a house!"
"Of course I dare not give it. If you are not convinced, go to court and sue me."
Lin Mai looked contemptuous and turned to the village chief: "Uncle Wang De, you see we can't leave."
Wang De understood, raised his arms and shouted, calling a large group of young men.
After pulling Sun Guixiang, his wife and Lin Bei away, Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran drove away in the jeep.
When the two returned to Simei Town, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang have cleaned up the house with the help of the neighbors. The hall is full of villagers, everyone chatting lively.
As soon as Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran entered the house, they took the initiative to say hello to the villagers.
The villagers also responded enthusiastically.
A fellow villager asked Lin Mai with a smile: "Maizi, I heard from your grandparents that you want to get greenhouse vegetables when you go back to the countryside this time. How do you get these greenhouse vegetables?"
When they were chatting with Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang, Grandpa Fang and his wife mentioned that Lin Mai was returning to his hometown this time and wanted the villagers to grow vegetables in greenhouses and lead them to become rich, so the villagers asked this question.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "Which of you will invite all ten village chiefs from nearby villages?
I plan to hold a science conference at Simei Village at 6:30 in the evening to explain what greenhouse vegetables are.
Let’s see who of you is willing to grow greenhouse vegetables. As long as the quality is good, I’ll harvest them all.”
Upon hearing this, the villagers stood up and left one after another, and went to inform their village chiefs and the village chiefs of nine nearby villages.
In the backyard, there are vegetables, live chickens and fish, as well as vegetables and sauerkraut given by the folks.
Lin Mai used local materials to make pickled fish, saliva chicken... and several appetizers.
For dinner, Grandpa Fang, Grandma Fang and rice with beans and beans all ate one more bowl than usual.
After dinner and clearing away the dishes, Lin Mai went to the Simei Village Office in Simei Town to educate villagers in nearby villages about greenhouse vegetables.
Fang Zhuoran went with her.
In the countryside in October, the temperature was several degrees lower than in Jiangcheng, and the cool wind felt so comfortable on my body.
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran walked hand in hand on the road paved with bluestones.
There were neighbors eating dinner at the door, and I greeted them with a smile.
When the two arrived at the Simei Village office, there were not only more than a dozen village chiefs sitting inside, but also nearby villagers standing inside and outside the office.
Although Lin Mai only wanted to invite ten village chiefs nearby, other village chiefs also took notice, so there were more than ten village chiefs sitting in the office.
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran were about to enter the office when they heard a familiar voice calling: "Auntie, Uncle Fang."
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran looked around, and Fu Qiang was smiling at them.
Lin Mai smiled and asked, "Are you also here to learn about greenhouse vegetable cultivation?"
Fu Qiang nodded.
Lin Mai asked: "Are your parents okay?"
Fu Qiang nodded again: "You can now go to work in the fields."
Fang Zhuoran said: "Let your parents work more leisurely, they are still recovering."
Fu Qiang hummed: "I know."
After everyone chatted for a while, Lin Mai entered the office and educated everyone present about greenhouse vegetable cultivation.
Neither the village chief nor the villagers have the same idea as the villagers in the mountains. They don’t believe that greenhouses covered with film can grow out-of-season vegetables.
Therefore, except for the rich and powerful, there is no one who responds.
Linmai operates the same as in the mountains.
She contracts the land herself and hires fellow villagers to grow vegetables in her greenhouse.
Lin Mai also hired ten nearby village chiefs to serve as managers, decentralizing power and allowing them to rent land and hire villagers.
The village chiefs who had not been hired all surrounded Lin Mai, hoping that Lin Mai would also hire them, so that the villagers in their village could be hired to grow greenhouse vegetables for Lin Mai.
Lin Mai smiled apologetically: "I'm afraid not. I'm just a vegetable market. I'm afraid I can't digest so many dishes. I hope we can cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future."
Although she really wants to bring all her fellow villagers to make a fortune, she understands better that she can exert as much effort as she has the ability.
She will not do anything beyond her capabilities, otherwise she will bring herself down.
After arranging tasks for the ten hired village chiefs and giving them money to buy materials for building greenhouses, it was already nine o'clock at night.
He was almost exhausted from the day, and Lin Mai just wanted to go back and take a bath and have a good sleep.
She and Fang Zhuoran had just walked out of the office when a man blocked their way.
Lin Mai used the moonlight to see clearly the person blocking the road, and his face suddenly became ugly.
