Ran Erni's sneaky look made people involuntarily alert.

Ran He did not act rashly, but cleverly hid behind a towering tree, which was an excellent observation position but was out of Ran Erni's sight.

Ran Erni's behavior became increasingly suspicious. She hurriedly picked up the broken mushrooms scattered on the ground and stuffed them into her bag without selection. She even used intact mushrooms as camouflage in an attempt to confuse people and cover up her tracks.

This scene made Ran He feel mixed emotions. The people in the village have always been simple and honest. No one expected that Ran Erni would do such a thing. It was really heartbreaking.

After returning home, Ran He did not expose the matter immediately, but quietly transplanted the grass to her secret pasture. The nourishment of the spiritual spring water made this space more full of vitality.

Afterwards, she picked a few ripe fruits and left this little world of hers with satisfaction.

Afterwards, she made a detour to Xiaogoudan's residence. The scene in front of her was heartwarming: Xiaogoudan was busy drying mushrooms, sweat sliding down his forehead, every drop of which was a proof of his hard work and perseverance.

Beside him, the figure of Goudan's mother was particularly comforting. After careful nursing, her body had gradually recovered. Her former weakness had been replaced by gradually increasing physical strength. Now she can not only take care of herself, but also help her son with housework and even work outside.

The mother and son's gratitude to Ran He was beyond words. Instead of bearing the cost of Ran He's request to purchase large quantities of mushrooms, they viewed it as an opportunity worth striving for, because they knew that what Ran He gave them was not only generous compensation, but also deep care and respect for their lives.

The encounter at Xiaogoudan's house made Ran He feel the warmth of home, and the warm greeting from Xiaogoudan's mother made her worries disappear.

When they learned that Ran He invited them to lunch, his sincere enthusiasm was hard to refuse. Although Goudan's mother declined the kindness, Ran He's persistence and sincerity finally moved her.

As noon approached, people returned with their harvests one after another. Xiao Gou Dan and his mother worked in perfect harmony and were busy receiving the freshly picked mushrooms.

Zhu Cuihua is still silently providing help. Her presence is like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating this harmonious small community.

Ran He stood attentively in a corner of the market, the pen in his hand jumping on the notebook as each farmer reported the weight of mushrooms, leaving lines of neat numbers.

Every time a salary was paid, she would carefully put a small check mark next to the name to ensure that every hard-working person would get the due reward.

This transparent and open settlement method is like sunlight penetrating through the clouds, illuminating people's hearts, reducing possible misunderstandings and disputes in the future, and filling the air with an atmosphere of fairness and harmony.

When it was Ran Erni's turn to step forward, Ran He's gaze seemed to inadvertently reveal an elusive depth, and those insightful eyes seemed to be able to see through all disguises.

She knew in her heart that Ran Erni had hidden a few broken mushrooms in her bag in an attempt to blend them into the ranks of high-quality goods.

Ran He decided that this time he would not let anyone get away with it.

"Recently, when drying mushrooms, we found some incomplete mushrooms. It seems that someone deliberately mixed in damaged mushrooms to try to pass them off as genuine ones."

Ran He's words were so powerful that a burst of discussion immediately arose in the crowd. Everyone looked at each other, trying to guess the meaning behind his words.

Her statement was clear and firm, just like the sudden snow last winter, covering all the flukes and sending a chill down the spine of those who tried to take shortcuts.

The mention of the example of Ma Er being refused mushrooms due to the same problem yesterday made everyone present understand that the rules cannot be broken.

Under Ran He's gaze, the farmers conducted self-inspections one after another, and the innocence and confusion on most of them looked particularly real.

There may be some among them who are greedy for small profits, but no one is willing to take risks when faced with such an easy and lucrative job.

On weekdays, people pick mushrooms very carefully, for fear of damaging any precious mushrooms, let alone deliberately mixing in inferior products.

Therefore, this news came like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone shocked and confused.

Xiao Gou Dan and his mother looked confused. They had carefully selected all the harvests in the past few days without any slackness. Why would Ran He raise such a question? Did Ran He have some unknown information behind him? This thought was like an uneasy undercurrent, stirring up ripples in the hearts of the mother and son.

After hearing this, Ran Erni's face turned pale instantly, like the first snowflake falling in winter, fragile and uneasy.

Her heart was full of doubts and fears. She didn't understand why Ran He suddenly attacked and chose such a time.

Could it be that the first examination today was to operate on herself? She always felt that Ran He seemed to have noticed her little action, but reason told her that this was almost impossible - the conspiracy with her father late at night was known to no one except her family.

Is it a coincidence? Or is Ran He picking on them on purpose because of the Wu family?

At this moment, Ran Erni was in a dilemma. The bag in her hand became a hot potato. She didn't know whether to put it down or not.

The grievances in her heart surged like a tide. Those broken mushrooms had nothing to do with her, but once the fragments vaguely visible in the bag were made public, her reputation would be ruined.

Just as Ran Erni was hesitating, the impatient Wu Yue snatched the bag of mushrooms and threw it onto the scale.

It was too late for Ran Erni to stop it, and she could only helplessly watch as the mushrooms hiding secrets were exposed to everyone.

Ran He seized this opportunity and began to search carefully. Her fingers deftly moved through the bags of Ran Erni and Wu Yue, as if looking for the hidden truth.

In this random inspection, the innocent people were calm and composed, but those who had something to hide had their hearts beating as fast as drums and found it difficult to calm down.

Ran He paid special attention to checking the most inconspicuous places, because people with ulterior motives would often choose the most inconspicuous corners to hide those shameful things.

As she pulled gently, Ran Erni's heart almost jumped out of her chest - two of the five mushrooms were broken! At this moment, her legs almost lost the strength to support her.

Wu Yue was completely clueless, with a look of innocence and surprise on her face. On the other hand, Ran Erni's expression said it all. It was the kind of evidence that could be understood without words.

The people around cast meaningful glances at me, and everything seemed to be self-evident.

"Now, do you have anything else to say?"

Ran He looked at the two of them calmly and powerfully, her eyes showing both disappointment and determination.

Originally, she hoped to encourage the whole village to participate and promote the prosperity of the mushroom industry, but she didn't expect that someone would secretly interfere.

In order to maintain order, she had to take drastic measures to serve as a warning to others.
