Chapter 57
Waiting after Ning Meng Yao had a.s.signed things, one of the workers went to buy tiles. Ning Meng Yao had given him the money. Lastly, Yang Yi whose leg was now fine planned to follow behind.
"Girl, once the construction is done, what are you planning to do?" Yang Zhu saw that the workers had started their jobs and asked in curiosity.
"Growing chicken and cultivating fishes." Ning Meng Yao did not hide anything and told him the things that she planned on doing.
Yang Zhu thought it over and felt that it could work: "Okay, when the time comes, we will come to help you."
"I've decided to let Big Brother Yang help me." She could not do all those alone. She would find a few people to work there while she managed the things outside.
"Fine."
The news of people working in Ning Meng Yao's house spread but no one really cared. Even if she wanted to surround all her lands, that would be her problem. Not only that, not small amount of people wanted to see Ning Meng Yao made a fool of herself.
Regarding this matter, Ning Meng Yao was ignorant about it. She spent around a month before completing the fish pond and chicken house.
Busying these, the autumn harvest had arrived. Ning Meng Yao did not want to immediately act, only seeing the first field of golden yellow.
Wheat was planted there and there were rice. The large field of golden color swayed under the gentle breeze as waves of golden what came to be. It was a spectacular and beautiful sight.
Ning Meng Yao smiled and turned her body.
Since the autumn harvest came, the children went back home to help their family which she had leisure time instead.
Looking the colors of red, green, and the yellow leaves on the mountain, Ning Meng Yao's eyes lit up. The wild fruits on the mountain should be riped too, right?
Thinking, Ning Meng Yao took the back basket and locked the door before going to the mountain.
What she did not know was that after she left, a person stealthily appeared on her front door and looked at her surroundings. After she was sure that no one was there, she pried open the lock and went inside.
After she went in, she searched throughout the whole room. When she did not find anything, she cursed lowly and gloomily.
She found a lot of food in the kitchen. White rice, white noodle, fish meat, and wild foods.
Seeing those, she swallowed down her saliva. Then she took all those things and quickly ran outside.
Ning Meng Yao saw the various wild fruits on the mountain and her mood became good. Once she saw something that could be eaten, she would pluck it and put it into her back basket. She even saw wild grapes growing in the mountain.
Seeing the grapes, Ning Meng Yao's eyes lit up. This was good stuff.
She put her back basket down and saw that the basket was half filled. Ning Meng Yao plucked the strings of grapes and put them in her basket until the basket was full.
Putting on her back basket, Ning Meng Yao went back with quick steps. Her originally good mood crashed went she saw the pried open lock. Her expression became ugly.
Picking up the pried lock, Ning Meng Yao's eyes were filled with sunken coldness. It seemed that she was targeted lately. But were her things that easy to take?
Ning Meng Yao walked inside and looked around, noticing that her room and other rooms were a mess, being flipped into this. Her things in the room were not taken but the kitchen was as if a disaster happened.
Her wild fruits were gone, her white rice were the same. Even a gourd of oil was taken.
That person was most likely trying to find money but could not find it so she settled for the next best thing, taking her rice, noodle, oil, and wild fruits away.
Coldly smiling, Ning Meng Yao's eyes became full of ridicule. Was her things easy to take? Taking her things, she wanted that person to vomit blood directly.
Putting her back basket in the room, Ning Meng Yao turned her body and walked toward Yang Zhu's house.
When he heard that a thing broke into Ning Meng Yao's house, Yang Zhu was not calm and collected.
Not only that, a few elders came along. Ning Meng Yao took them to see her wrecked rooms and the kitchen. The people's faces became dark and scary. They were afraid that their White Mountain Village produced a thief.
