"Who would slander you?"
Qian Chuncao had now also come to her senses, and with a pang of distress, she looked at the seeds that had spilled on the ground and could not be recovered. She had been worried about the seeds all along, and now she heard Technician Liu actually trying to pin the blame on her sister-in-law.
Although she didn’t know what had happened in the morning, she knew her sister-in-law, who was definitely not the kind of person who liked to show off.
Besides, the vegetable greenhouses were suggested by her sister-in-law to begin with. Wasn’t that limelight enough? Was there really any need to compete with a technician for fame?
Ridiculous.
"Technician Liu, although my sister-in-law and I are family, we would never tell blatant lies. The seeds were clearly handed to me by you, and you let go before I could even reach out. I initially thought you were just being careless, but now I see you had this scheme in mind all along—wanting to dirty my sister-in-law’s name. How could you be so foul-hearted?"
Forget about my sister-in-law hitting someone; at this moment, Qian Chuncao herself felt like giving her a slap.
She just regretted that her sister-in-law’s slap earlier was too light.
Liu Yahong’s tears immediately began falling, and her grievances seemed hard to fully express.
Pointing at Lin Chuxia and Qian Chuncao present on the scene, she shudderingly stepped back.
"How can you... how can you bully someone like this? It’s clearly your fault, yet you’re pinning it on me. I know you cover the sky with one hand in Qin Family Village, but you still can’t insult someone like this, right? If it weren’t for Technician He and Technician Hu being here, wouldn’t I have been bullied to death by you?"
She looked for help towards He Shujie and Hu Lichun, but the two men just watched the scene, neither showing any sign of wanting to intervene.
Liu Yahong frowned slightly and gave Hu Lichun a profound look.
Hu Lichun silently lowered his head, his heart filled with complaints.
He wasn’t at the scene of the incident, so how could he know who was right or wrong.
Yet, based on his interactions with Lin Chuxia and Sister-in-law Qian over the past few days, he actually felt that Sister-in-law Qian and her party had the upper hand in the argument.
But Liu Yahong was the director’s niece, and they had been reminded when she arrived to take good care of her.
Just as he hesitated about whether to step forward or not, Liu Yahong had already covered her face and run out.
"There’s no one here to stand up for me, I’ll go find someone who can. I refuse to believe there’s nowhere I can seek justice."
Qian Chuncao wore an expression of worry, not for Liu Yahong, but because she just ran off crying like that. Qian Chuncao was concerned that Liu Yahong might say something unreasonable and tarnish her sister-in-law’s reputation.
Qin Liang and his wife had the same thought and began to step outside, "I’ll go have a look, she must have gone to the village chief."
"No need, big brother. Let her go wherever she wants. Farming is more important, let’s see if we can recover any of these seeds first."
Lin Chuxia certainly didn’t care how Liu Yahong might smear her name. As for the village chief, he was not even in the village today.
He Shujie watched as a few people searched for vegetable seeds in the manure but couldn’t bring himself to do the same.
"Let’s not search any longer. We’ll plant what seeds we have left and we can also plant other crops."
Lin Chuxia stood up and dusted off her hands, "No, we cannot let these seeds go to waste as they are the fruit of your labor. Big brother, can we just spread this manure evenly on the field? Once the seedlings emerge, we’ll transplant them. I’m just not sure if the fertilizer will be too strong and burn the seedlings."
Qin Liang’s eyes lit up, "That’s also a solution. No worries, leave it to me. I’ll handle it."
