The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

After the disaster relief efforts ended, planting experts and local agronomy students from Yuncheng gathered at the experimental fields in Baijia Village on the outskirts of the city.

After on-site inspections and various data tests, a rough plan has been developed, but it still needs to be continuously tested and implemented.

A batch of seedlings has been cultivated and planted in the experimental field; now all that's left to do is wait.

"Village chief, how's it going on your end? Do you need an expert to go over and explain?"

A dark-skinned man wearing a coarse black cotton jacket took two steps forward, his voice authoritative and confident: "Boss Yu, don't worry, everyone fully supports the good things. They say they want to thank you and will treat you to dinner these next couple of days."

"No need, I really don't have time. I'm going back to Xiangshi in a couple of days. But don't worry, I'll be the first to come back when the experimental fields have a harvest. You can invite me then."

The village chief nodded: "Alright, Mr. Yu, on behalf of the villagers from these villages, thank you!"

Yu Lian understood that it was unrealistic to expect these farmers, whose minds were still stuck in old ideas, to abandon grain production and switch to cash crops.

So in the first year, after discussion, everyone voluntarily signed a cooperation agreement that, regardless of the quality of the harvest, the medicinal materials would be purchased in bulk at a price that was above average for that year.

Most people are still in a wait-and-see mode, and the company provides technical support for free, so farmers don't need to spend any extra money.

Some medicinal herbs are precious and require constant care, including adjusting the temperature and humidity. A few years ago, it would have been considered a waste for an adult to spend a whole day on this.

Many people still hope that the labor force in their families can bring in more grain, and they remain unmoved no matter what the village officials say.

On the second-to-last day before returning to Xiang City, Yu Lian received bad news.

Some villagers spread rumors that the capital city was far from the central government and that if the investors ran away, there would be no food, and those who had signed contracts would have to survive on medicinal herbs.

Experts on site explained the situation repeatedly, and even the local town mayor couldn't suppress it.

Yu Lian knew very well that doing this would not harm anyone's interests, so why would someone suddenly jump out and spread rumors?

In order to leave Yuncheng with peace of mind, Yu Lian personally led a group of people to Baijia Village to conduct an investigation.

Of the thirty-one households that originally agreed to sign the contract, only one has signed so far.

The moment the contract was signed, a shady man from the village came out and started spreading rumors that the boss would run away.

What was supposed to be a major project to boost the local economy was thwarted by a thug.

His outburst startled local officials at all levels, who immediately rushed to the scene.

When Yu Lian arrived, many of the onlookers had already left, and the troublemaker had been taken into custody by the police, who kept saying that it was none of his business.

"Oh, Mr. Yu is here."

Yu Lian looked over and saw a group of people in formal attire in front of her; they must be local government officials.

"Come, Mayor Gu, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yu, the person who initiated this cooperation and invested in our project."

After the subordinate in charge of this matter finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

"Senior Gu, it's been a long time."

Gu Ran nodded slightly, the smile on his lips betraying his current mood.

"Yu Lian, it's been a long time."

Yu Lian looked slightly incredulous; she didn't know that Senior Gu actually remembered her.

"You still remember me."

"You're only a year or two apart in age. It's really hurtful to address me like that."

Yu Lian quickly explained that that wasn't what she meant.

The old friends' reminiscing didn't last long; in the end, their anger was directed at the troublemaker from earlier.

When the local thugs saw the police, the town mayor, and now even the investors, they couldn't hold out for long.

"I didn't do it; someone paid me to do it."

The village chief, enraged, assumed it was some fool in the village: "Who in our village is so blind as to dare sabotage production!"

"It wasn't me! It wasn't me! I don't know her either. Anyway, she just gave me money and asked me to help others avoid being scammed."

"What kind?"

"Short hair, quite good-looking, probably in her early thirties, wearing a dress, that's all I know, seemed to be from the city."

Once trust collapses, it is difficult to rebuild. Now, apart from the village chief's family, even the family that initially signed the contract is now considering backing out.

"Okay, let me make this clear first: since no one's planting it or believing in it, we've decided to give this opportunity to the neighboring small fruit village. Any objections?"

The people below nodded in unison. The situation was so chaotic that no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

The village chief was filled with mixed emotions as he watched such a good opportunity being ruined by a troublemaker.

"Officer, this person is causing trouble, disrupting collective production, and spreading rumors. He was also recently caught stealing chickens and dogs in the village, and people who have had their belongings stolen are coming up here so the officers can register them!"

The village chief wished he could rattle off all the wrongdoings this bastard had ever committed, so that he could spend the rest of his life in jail and never cause trouble again.

In the afternoon, the matter was resolved. Yu Lian and Gu Ran had a brief chat before driving away from Baijia Village.

……

Back in the city, since it was getting late, Yu Lian went to her parents' home, which was nearby.

"Why are you here so late at night?"

"Oh, I went to Baijia Village to handle some matters there."

Wang Meixia, wearing a coat, coughed twice and said, "Have you caught a cold? I'll make you some soup in a bit."

"No need, your dad has already given me my medicine. Go inside, your dad has something to tell you. I'll go heat up your dinner."

Yu Lian nodded and followed him into the inner room, but her father was not there.

Guess who I met today?

"I just heard you say you went to Baijia Village on business. Did you run into Senior Gu Ran?"

It was rare for Yu Xin to bring up this topic, and her face showed a hint of teasing.

"Huh? You know that?"

"I was just guessing. I heard from my classmates that Senior Gu Ran is the pride of our school. He graduated from Hailuo Elementary School, and nine out of ten people know that he is the mayor of Baiqiao Town. I heard that he is coming to the city soon. Senior Gu Ran is really amazing."

"It's true, capable people can get along anywhere."

Yu Xin soothed the child with one hand and drank water with the other, but she didn't forget to observe her older sister's reaction while drinking.

"Sis, to be honest, it's best if we just keep this to ourselves. If your husband finds out, we're doomed."

Yu Lian didn't even consider that possibility: "So what if he knows? We have nothing."

"What do I know?"

The curtain was pulled back, and He Lin appeared in the doorway.

Yu Xin put down her water glass, almost spitting out the water in her mouth.

"Sis, Xiaoyouyou is asleep. I'll carry her to bed."

Yu Lian glared at her sister, thinking to herself: She deserted in the face of battle; she has no loyalty at all.
