Chapter 151: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 151: Xiao Village
What's wrong with the little one?
Bai Lu, full of confusion, was about to ask when Xiao Guofu, who couldn't wait outside the door, asked Bai Lu first, "Is Xiao Cheng at home?"
Bai Lu saw the anxious look on Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying's faces and truthfully replied, "He's out of the province and will be back in a few days. Do you need to find him for something? If it's urgent, there's a phone at home, and you can call him immediately."
"This..."
Li Hongying's anxiety turned into deep concern, "Calling won't help. There are bad people in Xiao Village. Not only do they want to reclaim the sand we picked up on the riverbank in the past, but they also want to cut down all our chestnut trees on the mountain."
"What bad people? Don't talk nonsense; be careful what you say." Xiao Guofu looked around at the people passing by and explained to Bai Lu.
"Early this morning, a man with a large group of police came to Xiao Village. They claimed that we were illegally mining sand and demanded that we immediately hand over all the sand at home. They also said that the chestnut trees on the mountain did not meet some green plant regulations and required us to return the land to the forest, cutting down all the chestnut trees and planting the ones they specified."
As Xiao Guofu spoke, he was so furious, "The sand in the villagers' homes was picked up on the riverbank years ago, before the river was contracted. It was collected when the big water swept onto the riverbank. It's never been mined from the river."
"The sand has been collected for many years. Apart from a few households using it for making cement floors or foundations, it's mainly used to bury chestnuts and store chestnut grains."
"There was no problem in previous years. Just when you started doing business and returned to Xiao Village to buy chestnuts, the villagers finally looked forward to a better life. Now, the sand is suddenly being taken away. Without the sand, chestnuts cannot be stored for a long time, and they will soon wither and rot..."
"Grandpa and Grandma asked us to find you and Xiao Cheng, saying that you have a solution."
Xiao Guofu didn't know why Grandpa and Grandma were so certain that Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng could solve the problem, but Grandpa and Grandma's decisions in the past had never been wrong. The elderly couple had a farsighted view of people and things. Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying couldn't come up with a solution, so they had to seek help.
After listening to Xiao Guofu's words, a cunning and resentful face suddenly appeared in Bai Lu's mind.
"Do you know their names? Or did they bring people who contracted the river with them?"
Li Hongying felt that Bai Lu was more magical than a fortune teller. She had already figured out who the intruders were just by listening to the story!
"Exactly, the people who contracted the river brought a brick truck to transport the sand."
"Blocked by the villagers at the village entrance, they are not allowed to enter. If the sand is taken away, the chestnuts will wither and rot. Not only will it be impossible to sell them to you for making candied chestnuts, but the villagers will also have trouble eating. The early rice hasn't even blossomed yet, there's no rice, and if the chestnuts wither and rot, what will everyone eat?"
Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu explained the situation in such detail, not to blame Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng for causing trouble by starting a business, but to let Bai Lu understand all the important information.
Even though they didn't have this intention, Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu were still inexplicably nervous, worried that Bai Lu would misunderstand.
Worried that it would affect future procurement cooperation.
Bai Lu would naturally not think wrongly. She probably already knew who was causing trouble in Xiao Village.
It was revenge from Li Chengbin, who was discharged from the hospital.
In the current situation, Li Chengbin must have found out that the candied chestnuts sold in the market were produced by her.
The chestnuts came from Xiao Village.
Li Chengbin wanted to cut off the storage method of the chestnuts and cut down the chestnut trees to prevent the chestnuts from regenerating, thereby restricting candied chestnuts from entering the market. It was nothing more than trying to uproot her business from the source, eliminating it entirely, and suppressing it.
To make her and Xiao Cheng never see the light of day again.
Xiao Village was a place Bai Lu definitely had to go. Candied chestnuts had just emerged in the market, and the subsequent operation had not yet begun. Business could not be interrupted, and the matter had to be resolved.
But now, there was something more important.
"Wait for a moment. I'll take Xiao Wei to the street to grab a meal. When I come back, we'll go to Xiao Village together."
"Haven't you had lunch yet?"
Lin Jinfan glanced at the little one who had been staring at him and then turned his gentle gaze to the slender and weak Bai Lu, "You finish your meal first before going to Xiao Village."
This statement clearly indicated that Bai Lu was only taking Xiao Wei to grab a meal and did not intend to eat herself.
And he suggested a reasonable and considerate suggestion.
Bai Lu was surprised not by what he said but by his words, "Are you going to Xiao Village too?"
Lin Jinfan's surname was Lin, and it seemed unrelated to Xiao Village. Upon careful thought, she recalled memories from the original owner.
Sure enough, there was a connection. Lin Jinfan's mother was from Xiao Village, and her maiden family was in Xiao Village.
Lin Jinfan used to visit his grandmother's house frequently when he was a child, helping his grandmother cut rice. He and the original owner were innocent playmates who shared many family stories.
