" Of course, I am speaking the truth. This sort of lie could be checked once, we go to the town, do you think that I would dare to lie?" Peng Jing confirmed at once. " Yu Dong is nothing but an unscrupulous woman who is making you all a fool and you are blindly following her!"
The villagers were shocked upon hearing this, they immediately turned to look at Grandma Yu and the rest. As soon as they turned their gazes to stare at the Yu family, they were blinded by the resplendent clothes they were wearing and then looked down at their own clothing which was patched and frayed.
In the end, they almost believed Peng Jing.
"If Peng Jing is right then Yu Dong really harmed us! Ah!"
Though they did not say it explicitly, one could see that they were swayed by Peng Jing's words.
Grandma Yu who saw them acting like this was so angry that her eyes rolled in her sockets and she almost fainted but upon seeing Grandma Yu stumble not only did Peng Jing feel that she was doing anything wrong, but she also thought that Grandma Yu was pretending which was why she rolled her eyes and then stated, " Grandma Yu, don't try to act smart with us! You have to give us an explanation about this situation!"
If today Peng Jing had earned a decent sum of money then she would have stayed quiet but now that she did not get anything and only lost her capital, she was going to drag Yu Dong down with her! It would be good if she was to lose all her wealth while compensating others!
When Aunt Wang saw that Peng Jing was not even letting go of an elderly woman, she immediately turned to look at the vicious woman and shouted at her, " Who are you to demand any explanation from Grandma Yu? If you have the guts go and get an explanation from Magistrate Le! She is the one who appointed Yu Dong as the developer of this village! And what are you making a ruckus for? Every year new officials would come and go and nothing would change, why don't I see you acting all high and mighty with them, Peng Jing? Just because you are not scared of being sent to Yamen by causing trouble for Yu Dong, you think that you can do anything?"
Peng Jing's expression twisted as she stated angrily, " Aunt Wang! Those officials are all scholars and have the title to hold their heads above us but what does Yu Dong have? She is a farmer just like us, how can she eat fine meals and leave us to eat northeast wind?"
" You are just trying to create trouble for no good reason, are you not?"
"I am only speaking the truth! It's that b*tch, Yu Dong who is making trouble for the entire village——"
" Enough!" Wu Junfen arrived with Yun Xuan as she looked at Peng Jing with a sharp glint in her eyes. The two of them went to the mountains to see the condition of the streams which flowed down the mountains and it was just as Yu Dong said—— the stream was slowly getting dried up. By three months it's going to be completely dried.
However, they did not expect that something like this would happen when they were not looking.
It was a good thing that Headmaster Chi's sons came looking for them and told them what was happening in the village.
Yun Xuan asked Da Chi and Xiao Chi to go inside the house while he turned to look at Peng Jing and smirked coldly, " Why are you in a hurry to announce Yu Dong as a culprit? At least wait till she is back in the village or do you think that by screaming loudly you will be able to get something in return ?" He asked while looking at the basket of vegetables that were sitting in front of Peng Jing.
Peng Jing's face twitched a little but before she could say anything, a sinister voice cut through the crowd, " I am afraid that Yu Dong might not come till evening. She had been invited by the owner of the big restaurant, Madam Song. While you are all fighting among each other, she might be signing another contract!"
" What !?" A simultaneous roar echoed through the silent village.
...…..
" What did you say can you say again?" Yu Dong asked Madam Song with a frown on her face. She was about to return to the village when she was called back by Sister Chen who worked at the Song restaurant came running to stop her and asked her to come with her to the restaurant.
Song Yixu smiled and then turned to look at Lady Chef Chen who lowered her head and then turned to call the waitress to bring in the basket of the vegetables that they had in the kitchen. The waitress did not take long and soon returned with a large basket of withered vegetables.
As soon as Yu Dong turned to look at the basket and then frowned while next to her Chen Mi and Ye Liu sat as straight as possible. This was their second time meeting the boss of this restaurant but they still felt awed by her gentle yet fierce aura.
" As you can see the vegetables which are being supplied to us are not at all good, with the change of the weather condition, many farmers' crops have been ruined and those who were able to grow their crops are now using wicked means to earn money. They are deliberately raising the price and handing us these withered vegetables and as we have no other choice we are buying it from them but even so there is a limit to everything. In the past, they would at least sell us half of good vegetables but this time around they sent entire baskets of rotten vegetables."
Su Yixu explained the matter to Yu Dong.
With a sigh she turned to look at the back room and rubbed her forehead, in fact, it would be right to say that her reason for calling Yu Dong was only half true.
She did not know what Magistrate Li and Qiao Sha along with Xian Zhenya discussed between themselves but they sent the consorts to her restaurant under the pretext of working under her. As if she could make them work in her restaurant, Li Wan told her that it was because Yu Dong already had her hands full and thus they couldn't move the consorts to her village.
Which was why they sent them to her place where they could get a continuous supply of green vegetables from Yu Dong without a problem!
