Chapter 520: Follow-up

After Xiao Lingyu arrived, the matter was quickly resolved.

Xiao Lingyu was still recovering from her birth, so she couldn’t be out in the cold for too long. Urged by Father Xiao, Xiao Lingyu only chatted with the lady boss for a while before leaving.

She came and left swiftly. However, she left a very deep impression on others.

Apart from her beautiful appearance, she also had character and self-restraint.

“Is that the boss of Green Fresh?” Many people simply couldn’t believe it.

After all, in their minds, all farmers were black and thin. The owner of Green Fresh was a farmer, so they had a specific impression of her. They didn’t expect her to be such a beautiful and intellectual woman.

“The boss is not a farmer herself, right?” Someone asked, “After all, her vegetables are sold at such expensive prices. Her daily income must be more than tens of thousands. She can clearly hire people to farm for her.”

“You are right.” Someone at the side immediately echoed. “How else could the boss be so fair?”

“Say, where is Taoyuan Village? How come I’ve never heard of it before?”

“City Z has thousands of villages. How is it possible that you’ve heard of this one small village?” Someone said with a smile, “However, the name of this village is very beautiful. It brings up the image of a paradise.”

“You’re right about that. When I have time, I should go there and see if the place is really as beautiful as paradise.”

Someone beside him immediately sneered, “Taoyuan Village is no paradise. It is a very poor village.

“Other villages had electricity decades ago, but that village only had electricity a few years ago. A family’s annual income there is only two to three thousand, which is not even a month or two of the county’s salary. The villagers don’t even have television sets. That village is the poorest village I’ve ever seen.”

“How do you know?” Someone immediately asked curiously.

“I’m a staff member in the Village and Town Management Department. Of course, I have to investigate and manage every village and town,” Wei Chunjun said with a very proud smile.

It was not easy to be a city council staff. One wouldn’t be able to do that without family background and connections. Therefore, this person was actually showing off.

Thanks to his good background, his family could afford to eat the organic vegetables from Zeng Family’s vegetable store every day.

One wouldn’t be able to get much if they didn’t spend more than 100 RMB per day at Zeng Family’s vegetable shop. 100 per day would equal a few thousand per month. A common family wouldn’t be able to afford that.

Someone immediately went forward to greet him.

“Hello. I’m XX. This is my name card.”

“XX. You also like to eat the vegetables here?”

People fawned over Wei Chunjun. Of course, this was only the minority.

After all, those who could afford to shop at Zeng Family’s vegetable shop had family backgrounds that were not necessarily worse than Wei Chunjun’s.

In the future, when Wei Chunjun received a mission to do an economic survey and statistics on every village and town in City Z, he would be face-slapped. But that was a story for later.

The police result soon came. It was complete slander. The result of the investigation was completely contrary to what the woman had said.

The organic vegetables in Zeng Family’s vegetable store had been tested by the relevant authorities, and the results showed that eating them would not be harmful to the body. In fact, it was good for the body.

Many people who often came to Zeng Family’s vegetable store paid special attention to this matter.

Some people with a certain family background soon learned of this result. Therefore, their hearts were finally at ease.

As the Boss claimed, this was a deliberate smear campaign. The vegetables were not poisonous.

“Is that why my heartache is not so serious recently?” People were still doubtful.

After all, it was unbelievable that eating a vegetable could cure disease.

In this case, if someone got sick in the future, they didn’t need to go to the hospital at all. They just needed to buy some organic vegetables from Zeng Family’s vegetable shop.

“Now that you mention it, I also feel that my legs don’t hurt as much…” This person opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

The regulars at Zeng Family’s vegetable shops got to know each other after they bumped into each other often. They gathered together to discuss the effect of the vegetables. The results were really surprising, and dumbfounded.

They had entered the information age. Facebook and Wechat hadn’t been so widely used yet, but Friendster and early social media had arrived.

As a result, there were rumors on the internet saying:

There was a vegetable shop in his city that sold organic vegetables. Organic vegetables were actually pure green, pollution-free green agricultural products.

Organic vegetables were the choice of most rich people. Although the price was a little higher than ordinary vegetables, they did not care.

However, the organic vegetables in this store were special. They had the effects of curing the body.

The poster provided many examples. His grandfather used to have a rheumatism problem. When the weather was cold and gloomy, the pain was unbearable.

This year’s winter was extremely cold. However, after eating their vegetables, his grandpa gradually felt that the leg did not hurt as much.

At first, his family did not know the reason.

His grandma often went to this shop to make purchases. She would talk to the customers she met there. She realized other families had the same story too.

For example, a young man’s grandmother stopped having migraines after eating the vegetables sold there. So the business of this shop boomed. This earned them the jealousy of their competition.

They spread rumors saying that the organic vegetables sold at this store were pumped with hormones. You’d feel good at first, but it would lead to a toxin accumulation.

Many people bought into the rumors.

A few days later, someone came to the shop to cause trouble, saying that her family ate the vegetables every day and had already been poisoned. Her husband was still lying in the hospital for treatment.

She berated the boss, saying that he was selling poison. Then, she demanded compensation.

It was a pity that the person who came to cause trouble did not have a detailed plan. This person was not very smart. She was questioned by the lady boss, and she panicked. Her story became contradictory and unbelievable. However, she was still very insistent.

At this point, the poster became exceptionally excited. She continued to write.

In the end, the person in charge of Green Fresh, the producer of the organic vegetables came.

She was so beautiful.

She did not wear makeup, but her skin was flawless!

She was tall and dressed fashionably!

The most important thing was that this woman was overbearing and had a strong aura.

She called the police right away, and with just a few words, the woman who came up to cause trouble was so scared that her legs trembled. When the police arrived, she told them everything.

It turned out that all of this was the doing of a competitor.

This woman was actually hired by a competitor to slander and defame the shop.

However, they didn’t expect the woman to be so easily deterred. At the end of the day, she was detained. Her family had to pay to get her out.

Moreover, the police also released the results of their investigation, saying that not only were the organic vegetables harmless, but they were also actually beneficial to the body.

This was because there was a type of active molecule in the organic vegetables. It was this type of active molecule that could improve a person’s physique and make a person’s body healthier.

When this result came out, many people went crazy.

Now, they had to go there every day to buy vegetables. They had to go very early. If they were late, there wouldn’t be any vegetables left.

It was said that the shop owner was also working with a four-star hotel in City Z. The business of that hotel was also extremely popular.

The poster thought of something and left an excited message.

Oh, I remember now. The organic vegetable came from the Taoyuan Village.

I don’t know how many netizens remember Taoyuan village.

But I remember very clearly that a few months ago, strawberries also came from Taoyuan Village. Whether locally or at the supermarket, the strawberries were very popular.

Sometime soon, I will also go to Taoyuan Village in person. The scenery there is also very good.

This poster was on social media every day. As soon as she posted her message, many people immediately left comments below. Most people obviously didn’t believe it.

“OP, your words are too hard to believe. If vegetables can cure disease, why do we need a doctor? You can just eat the vegetables and get better.”

“That’s right. This is simply impossible.”

“It sounds like OP is writing an advertisement for the vegetable shop.”

“But why would a vegetable shop need advertisement?”

“I don’t believe it!”

Some agreed with the poster.

“This is true because my family has bought from this shop too. My nephews and nieces were so naughty, but after having these vegetables, they could listen attentively in class. Their results improved so much that even the teacher was shocked!”

“Liar! Liar!”

“Clearly, you’re another poster hired by the vegetable shop.”

“Go on and bluff!”

In short, there were all kinds of comments.

The majority didn’t believe it. But there were some who said they wanted to verify it. They asked the poster to provide the name of the vegetable shop. They would go and test the vegetables in person.

The poster was merely sharing her experience. She didn’t mean to do the shop any advertisement.

The netizens didn’t care. They shared her post with their friends, and the wheels kept on turning. Many people didn’t believe it, but it did attract the attention of certain people.

“Dean, look at this.” In a certain research institute, a subordinate was holding a computer and reporting to a serious middle-aged man.

The man looked at it and narrowed his eyes. Then he asked seriously, “Has this been verified?”

The subordinate shook his head and said, “I’ll send someone to the store to buy vegetables. We’ll know when we get them back. But…” He paused and said, “We got two reports from City Z’s testing agency. One was sent to be tested by a private hotelier, and the other was by the police.

“The result showed that there is an active molecule in the vegetable. This active molecule is beneficial to health. As for why there is such an active molecule in this vegetable, I’m afraid we’ll have to go to the local area to investigate and find out.”

The dean nodded and then ordered, “Well, I’ll leave this matter to you to investigate. After the investigation, report to me as soon as possible. I also want to know if this vegetable can really cure diseases.”

As he said this, he looked forward.

If this vegetable could cure diseases, then…

“Yes!” The subordinate replied respectfully.

Xiao Lingyu, who had returned to the Taoyuan Village, didn’t know that her vegetable had been targeted because of this incident.

However, it didn’t matter even if she knew. Her vegetable was so special that it would be targeted eventually.

In the past, she might be afraid, but now she wouldn’t be.

She had to overcome this to become stronger. If these people wanted to fight with her, she would take them on. If necessary, she would die with them.
