Rural Shennong

The next day, because Chen Ping had to wait for Zhang Dayong to borrow the tractor, he did not go to the county seat early as before.

Seeing that most of the tomatoes in the vegetable garden had been picked, Chen Ping decided to try to see what effect the spirit liquid in the fortune jade bottle had on other vegetables.

His eyes fell on the whole pepper field beside him.

People in Ningdong County prefer spicy food, and almost every household grows chili peppers.

Thinking of this, he took out the fortune jade bottle, diluted the spirit liquid with water, and poured it into the pepper field.

When using the spiritual liquid to water the tomato and vegetable fields a few times ago, he had already experimented with the optimal ratio of the spiritual liquid and water.

In this way, while not wasting the spiritual liquid, more vegetables in the vegetable garden can be watered.

This time, he poured the diluted psychic liquid over a whole large field of peppers.

After he finished his work in the vegetable garden, Zhang Dayong finally arrived late with his tractor.

"Tatata!"

The sound of the tractor was loud, and the villagers who heard the sound immediately came to seek the sound with the vegetables they had already prepared.

Seeing the villagers coming with all kinds of vegetables, Chen Ping couldn't help but said:

"Everyone writes their names on their own baskets and boxes, so don't get confused."

Hearing this, many villagers immediately replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, we have already written it, and we can't make mistakes."

"Ping, thank you so much this time. You really helped us a lot by selling vegetables for us guys."

"A Ping, when you come to aunt's house after selling the vegetables, aunt will cook chicken for you."

"Cut, your chicken doesn't even have meat, at most it's just stewed in soup!"

Seeing everyone smiling and loading vegetables onto the tractor, Chen Ping couldn't help showing a bright smile on his face.

He is very happy from the bottom of his heart to be able to help these folks who have taken care of him since he was a child.

After loading everyone's vegetables onto the tractor, Widow Miao dragged her daughter Tongtong to Chen Ping's yard.

Seeing them, Chen Ping asked:

"Sister Miao, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Widow Miao glanced at the villagers around the tractor, bit her lips and replied worriedly:

"A Ping, do you still accept my food?"

She just learned that Chen Ping received [-]% off the market price for the villagers' vegetables, while her family's food was completely based on the market price.

In this case, Chen Ping would obviously give priority to recruiting other villagers.

Hearing what Widow Miao said, Chen Ping replied without any hesitation:

"Sister Miao, what are you talking about? How can I not accept your food."

"In this way, you go back and prepare the dishes first, and I will pick them up when I pass by your house."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, the worry on Widow Miao's face disappeared immediately, and she replied with a smile on her face:

"Okay, I'll go back and get ready."

As soon as the words fell, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.

She originally wanted to say that her family's food was also purchased at a [-]% discount, but she still couldn't say it.

It is extremely difficult for her to support her daughter alone, and the money is too important to her.

She can only think of other ways to repay Aping in the future, she thought in her heart.

After packing all the vegetables for everyone, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

Chen Ping was about to leave with his tractor, but Song Jianming and a young man who was flamboyant stood in the way.

The young man's name is Zhang Qiang. He is a well-known bachelor in the whole village.

Last night, he was the one who told Song Jianming that the villagers asked Chen Ping to sell vegetables.

Song Jianming glanced at Chen Ping and the many villagers, and greeted with a fake smile on his face:

"Yo, everyone is here."

Although many villagers hated Song Jianming in private, he was the head of Yuhe Village after all, so they had no choice but to say hello.

Seeing this, Song Jianming's eyes fell on Chen Ping, and said with a smile:

"Chen Ping, I heard that you have become rich recently."

Chen Ping had a very bad impression of Song Jianming, so he just replied calmly:

"It's none of your business."

Seeing that Chen Ping still didn't give him face, Song Jianming's face immediately turned ugly. He snorted coldly and looked at Chen Ping and said:

"If you earned the money seriously, then of course it has nothing to do with me."

"But if you stole it, then this matter has a lot to do with me!"

After the words fell, many villagers looked at Song Jianming with puzzled faces, not understanding what he was talking about.

Chen Ping was also speechless, he said impatiently:

"If you have nothing to do, go away, don't delay my going to the county to sell vegetables."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, Song Jianming directly stopped in front of the tractor and said loudly:

"Chen Ping, I was about to go home last night when I saw you sneaking out of my house."

"When I got home, I found out that all the road repair funds allocated by the county were gone!"

"I saw this with my own eyes, do you still want to deny it?"

After the words fell, the many villagers in the yard became more puzzled one by one:

"What kind of road repair fund, why haven't I heard of it before?"

Hearing this, Song Jianming sneered and looked at the villagers and replied:

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because the road repair fund just came down yesterday, and I haven't had time to notify you yet."

"And this money is a total of 4 yuan!"

After Song Jianming finished speaking, many villagers were taken aback:

"Forty thousand! So much!"

"Really or not, Aping stole [-] road construction funds from the village?"

"Village Chief, you can't talk nonsense, this is a very serious matter!"

With that said, the eyes of many villagers could not help but fall on Chen Ping.

Chen Ping's expression was calm, and he understood it, because Song Jianming's interests were affected by his help in selling vegetables, so he set up a situation for himself today.

He wanted to see how Song Jianming would deal with him.

Facing the doubts of many villagers, Song Jianming just replied with a light smile:

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out when the security team arrives."

Just as Song Jianming finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of car horns from behind.

Then, a car marked with the words "Public Security" drove up not far behind Song Jianming.

Seeing this scene, the faces of many villagers couldn't help but change a little. People from the security team actually came. This matter may be a bit serious.

At this time, the car door opened, and a greasy-faced man got out of the car, accompanied by two members of the security team.

The villagers all knew the person who came, and the leader was Xiao Yu'an, who was the deputy captain of the security team in charge of Shangyanggou in the Ningdong County Security Brigade.

Even if it's just the vice-captain of the team, in a remote place like Yuhe Village, he's still a big character.

Seeing Xiao Yu'an, many villagers showed respect.

At this time, Xiao Yu'an led the security team, strode forward and asked:

"Who is Chen Ping?"

Chen Ping frowned and replied:

"I'm."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu'an glanced at him arrogantly, and said in a cold voice:

"You are suspected of stealing public funds for road construction in Yuhe Village. Now, immediately follow me to the county security brigade to assist in the investigation!"
