Chapter 245 Pei the Big Bun (9)_1
Pei Qin was completely unaware of this, being busy turning over the sweet potato seedlings.
When someone from Sun Quanliang’s family came over to take a look, they were so frightened they clapped their thighs and hurried back home to find the head of the household, exclaiming that disaster had struck, "The medicinal plant seedlings planted in the field have all been turned over! Who the hell did this!? They were growing so well, and now that you turn them over, they’re all ruined!"
"Medicinal plant seedlings have all been turned over!? Did you see who did it?" Sun Quanliang asked as he hurried to check out the field.
When they reached the field and saw the acre and a half of sweet potatoes, with all the seedlings turned over so that the white and green ridges faced up and the leaves pointed down, clustered together in lumps, turned over so neatly it was almost impressive, they couldn’t help but feel bewildered, "Could it have been someone from Old Pei’s House who did this?"
"These are all medicinal plants, brought all the way from a foreign country, incredibly precious. We were entrusted to take care of them. If they all die, how could we ever compensate!" The person from Sun Quanliang’s family started to weep.
"Don’t cry just yet! Let’s ask around first and find out who did this mischief! Once we find out, then we’ll talk!" Sun Quanliang said as he went around nearby to enquire if anyone had come to the field.
Because the fifty or so acres were all in this area, and no one else’s land was near, nobody would come this way.
But after asking around, everyone said they hadn’t seen anything.
