Chapter 514 Vegetable Garden Crisis (1)
Luo Ning stepped forward and smiled, "Go home, wash your face, eat, and then go to school. Don't let it interfere with your studies!"
"But..." Da Shuang was worried about his father and didn't want to go to school.
Xiao Shuang didn't want to go to school either, but he was afraid of Xie Chang'an, so he shrank his neck and hid behind Da Shuang.
Luo Ning shook her head in disapproval. "Da Shuang, you can't help much here. Go to school and don't let your dad worry."
"Alright then!" Da Shuang glanced at Liu Aijia with concern before leaving with the trembling Xiao Shuang.
"Dad, brother-in-law, you should go to work too. Dad will take the medicine from my room to the city and leave it in your office. Fan Lijuan will pick it up later!"
Luo Ning also sent Wang Tiejun and Luo Baiwan away. The garment factory was enough to keep them busy, and she and Xie Chang'an were enough to handle things here.
She still didn't believe that the couple working together couldn't deal with a few petty thieves.
"Da Ya, your second uncle is so sorry!" Liu Aijia sat on the ground with red eyes, and didn't get up for a long time.
Luo Ning walked up, sat cross-legged next to Liu Aijia, took out two pairs of shoe covers, and patted Xie Chang'an's shoes.
Liu Aijia was completely bewildered and couldn't understand what was going on at all.
Xie Chang'an understood immediately and bent down to receive it.
Luo Ning shook her head and put shoe covers on Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an gave Luo Ning a deep look, then walked around the vegetable garden to inspect it.
Luo Ning's gaze followed Xie Chang'an's figure, but out of the corner of her eye, she observed the workers she had hired in the vegetable garden and the onlookers who were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
"Everyone, step back outside the vegetable garden! No one is allowed to step on the vegetables!"
When Dong Lao Er and the others saw Xie Chang'an walking in the vegetable garden, they didn't take Luo Ning's words seriously at all. What could a little girl like her accomplish?
He told her from the beginning that what she was doing wouldn't work, and that if he had grown vegetables too, none of this would have happened.
Serves them right for making this mess of things!
Luo Ning's face instantly darkened. These scoundrels.
Xie Chang'an turned to look at the gloating onlookers, a thin layer of ice forming in his eyes. "Wife, don't worry about them. It would be best if they all left some footprints, so that when the police come to investigate the scene, they can arrest them all!"
His words caused the workers tending the vegetable garden and the onlookers to disperse, as if the vegetable garden were a raging flood or a ferocious beast, and they all wanted to hide as far away as possible.
They fear neither heaven nor earth, except the police!
"You won't walk if you lead me, and you'll back down if you push me." A disdainful smile appeared on Luo Ning's lips. As she put on shoe covers, she whispered to Liu Aijia, "Second Uncle, we're family, don't say such formal things!"
Do you remember when the three of us—me, your uncle, and I—were setting up this vegetable greenhouse at the beginning of the year?
Many people laughed at us, thinking we were fools. Even I was a little worried about what would happen if we messed things up.
You told me that if things didn't work out, I could start over, and it was your words that gave me a lot of confidence!
We should think like this now: if this batch of vegetables is ruined, so be it; we can always start over.
We have accumulated experience in growing vegetables and have established sales channels. The only loss is a batch of vegetables!
Since this has happened, let's face it bravely. Let's solve the problem first, and then teach the person who's ruining the vegetable garden a lesson.
"Whoever makes our lives difficult now, we'll make them miserable forever! I've already called the police; they'll be here soon!"
Liu Aijia's grief subsided considerably. Da Ya was right; when something happens, you have to deal with it. Grief is useless.
He knew who those people were after the vegetable plot, and this time he was determined to teach them a lesson!
Calling the police was the right thing to do; only by catching those thieves can his anger be appeased.
He's lived for decades, but he's still not as good as Daya. He's clueless when things happen!
Looking at the vegetable field littered with corpses, Luo Ning was filled with emotion. "Second Uncle, we need to learn to take things easy and let go. After you give up and start to disregard everything, you'll suddenly see the light."
It's just a vegetable patch, money is just paper, what's the big deal? As long as no one is hurt, we can always make money again!
Look at me, even when the sky is falling, I still comfort myself, saying, "Don't panic, it's nothing."
Liu Aijia nodded, feeling much better after Daya's explanation.
Xie Chang'an walked back and sat down next to Luo Ning, lowering his voice, "The group of people from yesterday came in from the east and escaped from the southwest! I found twenty-eight footprints of different sizes, one of which was particularly small and looked like a man's. Honey, go take a look!"
“Okay!” Luo Ning put on shoe covers and got up to inspect the scene.
Liu Aijia looked as if he had seen a god; he felt that Daya and Chang'an were even more professional than the police.
Now he was completely relieved. With Daya as his pillar of support, his pressure was greatly reduced.
A dozen minutes later, Luo Ning returned, and just as he was about to speak, the police arrived.
The onlookers were a bit bewildered. What were the Liu family's uncle and nephew up to? They actually called the police.
The two police officers in this batch were the same ones who arrested Jian Yin last time. They were sent over because they were familiar with the area.
Luo Ning stepped forward to explain the situation, with Liu Aijia providing the main details.
Just then, several suspicious-looking people strolled along the ridges of the fields.
"Officer, this vegetable garden is the result of my second uncle's hard work. He has taken care of it like his own child."
Looking across the entire Jiangbei City, we are the only greenhouse vegetable grower. Our vegetables are grown from seeds obtained through special channels, resulting in a pure, natural, silky, earthy flavor that can stay fresh for up to three days. They are the best and most prestigious among vegetables.
Now that it's destroyed, at least three thousand dollars have gone down the drain.
The city's No. 1 restaurant is waiting for us to supply vegetables, but we are definitely unable to do so on time. We have to pay them a penalty of 10,000 yuan according to the contract.
Our vegetables will be unavailable for at least a month, and the resulting economic losses are considerable.
Money is a minor issue; the key problem now is that our reputation has been devastated, something that money can't buy.
Furthermore, my second uncle suffered a severe blow because of this, and I simply can't imagine what would happen if he were to become completely despondent...
In light of the above, we urge the police officers to thoroughly investigate the truth, apprehend the culprit who destroyed the vegetables, and bring them to justice!
The police officers exchanged a glance. The problem seemed to be much more serious than they had imagined, and they began to take the matter seriously.
Before long, the police began to survey the scene and took 28 footprints.
Under the direction of the village chief of Liujia Village, the police had all the men in the village come forward to match their footprints.
Luo Ning, being rather cheeky, chimed in, suggesting that women, especially the plump ones, should also participate.
She suspected that the tiny male footprint Xie Chang'an mentioned was actually a woman's.
Adhering to the principle of not letting a single bad person go unpunished, Luo Ning's suggestion was adopted. While the police were busy near the vegetable garden, Liu Aihong came with a basket to deliver food to Luo Ning and his two nephews, with two tails following behind.
When Luo Ning saw the two people, his face instantly darkened.
