Chapter 637: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 637: Dangerous Encounter (2)
Whether true or just boasting, Yang Bao felt reassured, “Uncle knows you’re capable. This time, we’ll just have to rely on your good fortune!”
The two reached an agreement, and soon they worked out the details. After Mo Yan left, Yang Bao immediately went to visit several original residents of Liuyang Village. Unfortunately, only one household was willing to participate, and they would only commit one mu of land for the project.
In contrast, the newcomers who had fled to the village were much more proactive and daring. Over ten households expressed their willingness to join Mo Yan in growing greenhouse vegetables and promptly signed up with Yang Bao.
These villagers, besides their boldness and adventurous spirit, also shared Yang Bao’s belief that Mo Yan, protected by divine beings, was certain to achieve great success with the greenhouse vegetables and make a significant profit.
After leaving Yang Bao’s house, Mo Yan visited the families she had good relations with to discuss the greenhouse vegetable plan.
Lin Da, Cai Shi, and others, who had previously helped Mo Yan sell vegetables, were naturally aware of how ordinary vegetables could become highly sought after in winter. It was impossible not to be tempted. They also trusted that Mo Yan wouldn’t undertake something without confidence and were almost all willing to participate.
By the end of September, after final confirmations, nearly thirty households in the village had agreed to grow greenhouse vegetables, accounting for about one-third of the entire village—a lot more than Mo Yan had anticipated.
She spent an entire evening meticulously listing all the details regarding the greenhouse vegetables, including how to build the greenhouses, how to divide the work during planting, how to exchange daily labor points for benefits, and how to handle potential disputes and solutions. Everything was clearly outlined. Following these guidelines should prevent major issues.
Mo Yan explained these details to Tang Xin, deciding to let her try her hand this year. If Tang Xin proved capable, Mo Yan could completely hand over the greenhouse vegetable project next year.
With the greenhouse vegetables project arranged, Mo Yan focused most of her energy on the construction site, leading a busy yet fulfilling life. Thankfully, with Xue Tuanzi managing the space efficiently, she didn’t need to worry about it. This alleviated her nighttime workload, and she no longer had to suffer from backaches and pains.
Additionally, she kept an eye on Chu Heng’s condition. She sent plenty of spiritual spring water and fresh fruits and vegetables to Huixian Residence, ensuring that Chu Heng’s recovery at the Jing Mountain villa was going well. In less than half a month, he would be able to open the windows for fresh air.
After the Heart-eating Poison was expelled, Chu Heng’s body became exceptionally weak. Not only was he unable to get out of bed, but he was also extremely sensitive to any breeze, which could lead to colds and other health issues, posing a serious threat to his life.
Thus, those genuinely concerned for Chu Heng couldn’t afford to be careless. Emperor Huian even issued an edict to suspend all of Xiao Ruiyuan’s duties temporarily, directing him to focus solely on the security of the Jing Mountain villa to prevent any demonic forces from appearing and harming Chu Heng.
Some individuals, especially princes and nobles who had been incapacitated or denied high positions by Chu Heng, wished to see him suffer. They planned to exploit his weakness to create turmoil and find ways to harm him. However, their plans were suppressed by Xiao Ruiyuan and Emperor Huian, who even summoned these princes to the palace and gave them a severe reprimanding.
The emperor’s implication was clear: if anything happened to the crown prince, the responsibility would fall on them. Even if another heir were to be named, it would not be any of them. Thus, the princes and nobles abandoned their schemes against Chu Heng and redirected their resentment towards those who helped him.
Although publicly, Chu Heng was saved by a ghost doctor, those who knew the truth quickly discovered that Mo Yan was the key. The princes and nobles, resentful that Mo Yan had thwarted their plans and allowed the relatively harmless Chu Heng to escape a deadly fate, and thereby solidified his position as the crown prince, were determined not to let her go.
