Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 145 Ruan Qingqing's Counterattack

“The mother buds of sweet potatoes were dug up?”

"Isn't it? Only broken vines are left. I'm afraid we can't grow sweet potatoes this year!"

Ruan Qingqing didn't comment on this. After thinking for a while, she hurriedly ordered: "Uncle Liu, please bring people to help collect those broken vines as soon as possible. After collecting them, put them in a cool place and process them slightly. Use scissors to cut them into sections with root knots, then tie them into bundles and put them in a cool and slightly damp place."

"Miss, this... a broken vine separated from its mother bud will easily wither and become useless."

Liu Yi was confused, "Why do you do this?"

Ruan Qingqing just said: "Uncle Liu, you are right to listen to me!"

"Okay, I'll give the order right away!" Although Liu Yi was puzzled, he carried out the order anyway.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, what are County Magistrate Yuan and the others busy with recently?"

"We are planting corn. We plan to plant ten acres of corn this year. We don't have enough manpower, so we have only arranged Feng Yun and the other adults to plant the corn together. We can't finish planting so much land in one day. But the working speed of the adults has improved, so it should be done in the next two days."

"I understand. Uncle Liu, go get busy!"

"Hey, okay! Miss, let me know if you need anything!"

Ruan Qingqing nodded.

Looking at Liu Yi's departing back, Ruan Qingqing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Digging up the mother sprouts of sweet potatoes probably means you are trying to destroy your own sweet potatoes this season.

In the minds of the people of this dynasty, once the mother bud is destroyed, the sweet potato seeds are gone, and the sweet potato vines that grow will die due to lack of nutrients. If the stems on the sweet potato vines are less than ten centimeters long, the survival rate is extremely low if you rashly graft them.

As a female doctor of agriculture, she has a way to save the sweet potato vines, but she doesn't want to reveal it immediately, as she wants the person behind it to be anxious.

After two days of silence, the people behind the scenes gathered together.

"That's not right! It's been several days since the incident, why didn't Ruan Handao show any anger? That was an acre of sweet potato sprouts, all of which were dug up, and there was not even a sound. At this moment, shouldn't she be gritting her teeth and cursing, pointing her finger at the sky and the earth?" Yuan Pingzhang couldn't understand.

"Why are you scolding her? After hearing about her story, the villagers around her said that they would give some to Ruan Handao when their sweet potato vines grow big enough to be transplanted. From what we can see now, it is estimated that the amount they have given to Ruan Handao is more than ten times what he originally planted."

Zhao Zhen said with regret in his heart.

"What a bad decision! I forgot about this! Although Ruan Handao is very fierce, he has a good reputation around here." Wang Sibo was extremely annoyed.

"Maybe our little action was too small and didn't hurt her." Yuan Pingzhang said with regret.

Shen Zhizui stared into the distance steadily, "Then let's do something big that will break her bones!"

"I say, Shen Zhizui, if you want to go crazy, just go crazy by yourself, don't drag us down with you! Although Ruan Handao may be ruthless to us, you should ask him honestly, did he treat us badly during the time we were punished in Zaoziling? You destroyed a season of sweet potato seedlings, what else do you want to do?"

Zhang Qiuming was the first to quit.

"Zhang Qiuming, it's pointless for you to do this! Don't you have a share in ruining someone else's season of sweet potato seedlings? You are playing both sides, who are you trying to disgust?" Yuan Pingzhang pushed him hard.

"I can't just watch you go further and further down the road to death."

"Come on! We all know each other, but have you never tried to get yourself killed? We are just as bad as each other, who is looking down on whom?" Shen Zhizui was unwilling to remain silent and started to retort.

"You guys! You really take my kindness for granted!" Zhang Qiuming flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Shen Zhizui and Yuan Pingzhang looked at each other, and both understood and chased in the direction Zhang Qiuming left.

"You can't leave yet!" Shen Zhizui grabbed Zhang Qiuming.

"I don't want to hang out with you guys anymore. Just do whatever you want. Why are you pulling me in?" Zhang Qiuming struggled and retreated.

Shen Zhizui smiled evilly, "Do you think it's too late for you to draw a line between you and us now?"

Zhang Qiuming was stunned, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? Do us a favor, or I'll beat you up!"

"No help!" Zhang Qiuming refused without thinking.

Yuan Pingzhang narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Okay, you're a brave boy!"

Shen Zhizui didn't give Zhang Qiuming any chance to react, and punched him in the head. He punched with all his strength, and blood immediately flowed out of Zhang Qiuming's nostrils.

An hour later, Zhang Qiuming was forced by Shen Zhizui to release water into the rice fields planted by Ruan Qingqing.

"As long as the water in this field is drained, the rice seedlings that haven't taken root will fall over or even be sun-dried to death. I don't believe that Ruan Handao can remain indifferent this time!"

Shen Zhizui said confidently.

Yuan Pingzhang pushed Zhang Qiuming and said, "Go dig the ditch, make it bigger!"

"why me?"

"You can't beat Old Shen with your strength!" Wang Sibo's peach blossom eyes kept flashing with brilliance.

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Wang, Lao Yuan, you guys go too! Let's finish this quickly!" Shen Zhizui gave the orders while holding a shovel and walking towards the nearby ditch.

"okay!"

Just as the five of them set off together, flames suddenly shot up into the sky behind them.

"I said, if you want to dig ditches in my fields, do you need my permission?"

A cold voice came from behind them, shocking the five people. They all turned their heads in disbelief and looked at Ruan Qingqing, who looked puzzled.

Zhang Qiuming even asked, "How did you know we were going to dig ditches to release water and destroy your rice seedlings?"

Yuan Pingzhang wanted to slap him to death!

"You destroyed our sweet potato sprouts before, and now you destroy our newly planted rice seedlings when you see we are not making any moves? You are really great! You are full of energy! It seems that I underestimated your abilities before, and let you be idle and look for things to do everywhere.

It's my fault! From today on, you will be responsible for cleaning the pigsty, cattle pen, stable, duck house, and chicken coop! And learn about composting by the way!"

"You are seeking revenge for your personal gain!" Yuan Pingzhang felt dizzy when he heard that he had to deal with such filthy people.

Ruan Qingqing sneered, "Why don't we call Lord Xize to come over and judge the matter, and then go to Lord Zhou to discuss who is seeking revenge!"

"No need to call me, I'm right here. The whole country is about to stockpile grain, and you, Yuan Pingzhang, wantonly destroy the crops because you are dissatisfied with the emperor's decision. How about you go back to the capital and ask your father, the Dali Temple Minister Yuan, to have a chat with the emperor?"

Xize stood in front of Yuan Pingzhang and others with a cold look on his face, and asked loudly.

"I didn't mean that."

Although Yuan Pingzhang is a bad guy, he is not stupid. If he dares to admit it, there is no need to wait for him to return to the capital. After tonight, his head will probably be moved to another place.

"Then what do you mean? Don't you know that the war in Jiangxia is intense and food supplies are in short supply? How dare you destroy crops wantonly! Could it be that you want to collaborate with the enemy and sell out your country, and destroy the food production in the rear areas?"

When Xize put the big hat on them, Yuan Pingzhang and the others turned pale with fright and knelt down one after another.

"Lord Caesar, please spare us. We never had such intentions. We just wanted to tease Miss Ruan and vent our anger!"

"So you admit that you are destroying my crops wantonly to avenge your personal grudge?"

"Yes!" The five people admitted it reluctantly.
