Chapter 709 – : An Accident at the Cottage
When they learned that the Bai family might come to Taoyuan Village to harm Xiao Lingyu, both Xiao Lingyu and Old Master Gong took full precautions.
Of course, in order to avoid worrying the Xiao family, Old Master Gong and Xiao Lingyu had a tacit understanding not to tell the Xiao family.
They ate and worked like normal every day.
Xiao Lingyu owned a company, a vegetable plot, a garden, and a home. She was busy every day.
In the countryside, in winter, apart from growing seasonal vegetables, there was basically nothing to do. At this time, many villagers would find temporary jobs. Then, they would return to work in the fields in the spring. However, things were different for Taoyuan Village.
Since the village had Peach Blossom Forest, there were waves of visitors even in winter. The villagers of the Peach Blossom Village were busy with their small businesses every day. They were all happy. The villagers from other villagers would come to Taoyuan Village to look for work. When there were more people, there would be more trouble.
Xiao Lingyu let her subordinates handle some small matters. She only needed to supervise the general administration.
However, it had become her practice to check the crops in the fields every day. She had to control the growth of these crops well. She didn’t want them to grow into giant vegetables. It would attract too much attention.
Of course, Xiao Lingyu couldn’t manage so much land on her own. Even with her mother’s help, it was too much. However, the only people that Xiao Lingyu could trust were the Xiao and Gong families. Hence, she would only let them water the fields.
As time passed, many people knew that this water was the real reason the vegetables grew so well.
Of course, some people would ask curiously, “What is that?”
The Xiao family members directly smiled and answered, “This is the Little Cattle King’s urine, plus some ingredients to make fertilizer.”
The villagers understood. This was Xiao Lingyu’s secret recipe. In that case, people stopped asking.
When Xiao Lingyu was inspecting a spinach field, Xiao Xiaohui ran over and shouted, “Sis, something happened at the thatched cottage!”
Xiao Lingyu immediately put down her work and asked, “What happened?”
Xiao Xiaohui said, “An old man quarreled with our staff, and he ended up having a heart attack. He’s unconscious now, and the old man’s family is causing trouble.”
Xiao Lingyu immediately asked, “What?”
“Yes!” Xiao Xiaohui nodded.
Xiao Lingyu’s expression immediately turned serious as she said, “Doesn’t our staff know that customer is always first?” The service staff at Taoyuan Village had to undergo seven days of training before they were hired.
Xiao Xiaohui said, “Sis, it was that old man who molested our service lady!” In his heart, he cursed, ‘What a shameless old man. He’s already a grandfather in his sixties or seventies, yet he still molested a little girl. How shameless!’
Of course, Xiao Xiaohui did not dare to say such uncouth things in front of his sister.
Xiao Lingyu did not say anything. She only sped up her pace. However, in the eyes of others, Xiao Lingyu was not walking but running.
“Look at boss in such a hurry. Did something happen?” The workers discussed as Xiao Lingyu rushed by.
“It should be something urgent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be in such a hurry. We rarely see boss Xiao in such a hurry.”
When Xiao Lingyu rushed to the fifth thatched cottage, there was already a crowd of people surrounding it. There were also loud curses and noises.

“Woman, how can you be so vicious and bully an old man?” A middle-aged woman shouted loudly. She even pushed the female attendant.
The female attendant cried out in grievance, “I didn’t do anything. He… he tried to grab my hand, so I…” I pushed him away.
“Bullshit!” Before the female attendant could finish, another middle-aged woman immediately cursed, “Girl, you’re really too vicious. Not only did you push my senior, but you also want to ruin his reputation? Who do you think you are? Do you think our elder will be into you?” She raised her hand and wanted to slap the attendant. “Such a wicked and vicious person. I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Xiao Lingyu rushed through the crowd and saw the old man lying on the ground unattended. She frowned and the aggressive middle-aged woman. She walked to her and grabbed her hand. “Madam, we can talk this out. Why do we have to turn to violence?”
The middle-aged woman was furious at the interruption. “What are you talking about? Shouldn’t this shameless woman be taught a lesson?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Yes, she should be taught a lesson, but not now. The old man is still lying on the ground. The weather is so cold. Should we just let him freeze on the ground?”
Then, Xiao Lingyu looked at the staff next to her and shouted sternly, “What are you doing? Don’t you know how to carry the elder to a warm place?”
A young man said with a slightly aggrieved tone, “Boss, it’s not that we don’t want to, but the family members don’t allow us to move him. They said that we must give them an explanation now, or else…” They’d rather the old man freeze to death on the ground.
Xiao Lingyu walked to the old man’s side and squatted down. Just as she was about to examine him, the woman immediately stopped her loudly, “What are you doing? Don’t touch him. Let me tell you, if anything happens to my senior, it will be your responsibility.”
Xiao Lingyu looked at the old man whose face was pale and whose lips were purple. She frowned slightly and looked at the two middle-aged women, one fat and one thin, and asked, “The elder has a heart attack. Don’t you have his medication?” Since the elder had a history, shouldn’t it be normal for his family to carry his medication with them?
The eyes of the two women flashed with guilt. Then, the fat woman immediately said, “What medication? Our senior doesn’t have a history of heart attacks. How would we know to prepare things like that?”
“Yes. That’s right! He must have gotten the attack after he was pushed by the vicious woman!” The other woman echoed, “Let me tell you, if anything happens to our senior, you have to be responsible!”
Xiao Lingyu looked at the old man on the ground and then at the two women. Her eyes flashed, and she said, “Ladies, no matter who is responsible, we have to save the elder first.”
Then, she took out a white bottle from her pocket, poured out a white pill from the bottle, and directly fed it to the old man.
The two women immediately turned pale with fright and said, “What did you feed our old man? If anything happens to our senior, we will sue you!”
Xiao Xiaohui spoke first, “This grandfather suffered from a heart attack. Of course, my sister fed him some first-aid pills. Do you really think she’d feed him poison?” Xiao Xiaohui was straight to the point.
When the two women heard this, they angrily pointed at Xiao Xiaohui and said loudly, “You Little Brat, what do you know?”
Xiao Xiaohui argued, “We have prepared all kinds of emergency medicine here for situations like this.”
The other tourists were surprised that the village admin was so well-prepared.
“It’s the first time I have encountered such a meticulous and considerate tourist destination. The emergency treatment is really well done!”
“Yeah, this is also the first time I’ve encountered something like this!”
The two women ignored the discussion and were about to reprimand Xiao Lingyu when Xiao Lingyu hugged the old man’s head and ordered the staff, “Come here, move the old man to a warm room! Have you called an ambulance?”
“Yes!” One of the staff replied.
“No, you can’t move him!” The two women immediately stopped them.
Xiao Lingyu stood in front of them and said sternly, “Ladies, are you really planning to let this elder freeze to death?”
