Chapter 63 Insect plague
"Me too?" Gu Yuanniang asked in surprise.

"That's natural." The woman said: "I think I was in unbearable pain at the time, thanks to Mrs. Gu feeding me medicine and helping me take care of the child, how can I have today."

When Gu Yuanniang was told this, her face blushed, and she didn't know what was wrong.

"Brother." The little girl on the side also took Xu Guo's hand, and handed him the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her arms: "Here you are."

The cute appearance made Xu Guo feel soft, and she immediately squatted down and ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, then pinched the little girl's face and said thank you.

After everyone worked together to pack up the things in front of them, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Miaomiao was sweating profusely while sitting on the seat, looking at Gu Yuanniang with a laugh: "The things sent by the common people are enough for us to eat for a long time."

Gu Yuanniang also responded with a smile: "Yes, yes."

"Where is Xu Miaomiao?"

A sound broke the warm atmosphere, and the man walked in slowly with a big belly, followed by a few yamen servants who were also domineering.

"Master, why are you here?"

Xu Miaomiao looked at the man in front of her and asked.

"Ms. Xu, long time no see." The man touched his stomach and said to Xu Miaomiao.

"I am here today to blame you for accepting disaster victims at will."

"Oh?" Xu Miaomiao frowned, looking at the man in disbelief: "Didn't the official agree at that time, why did he go back on his word now?"

"What repentance, don't talk nonsense!" Before the man in front could speak, Xiao Si at the side immediately spoke, and looked at the man flatteringly after speaking.

"What does the official mean now?"

"Naturally blame you for accepting the disaster victims without Taoism's permission, and your restaurant will be closed down."

"Aren't you afraid of being criticized by others when you make trouble like this?" Xu Miaomiao retorted forcefully: "Besides, I discovered the antidote, so you are not afraid of being known by others."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiaosi pointed at Xu Miaomiao dissatisfiedly: "Our master discovered the antidote and solved it. You are a business woman, and you still want to take credit for it!"

"Hehe." Xu Miaomiao's eyes were scarlet, and she was speechless for a moment. She didn't want to seek credit, but she couldn't add insult to injury like this and wanted to seal up her restaurant.

"Come on, do it!"

As soon as the man gave an order, the yamen servants behind him began to move, smashing the tables and chairs. Gu Yuanniang and Xu Guo at the side wanted to stop them, but they couldn't hold them back.

"You are not allowed to bully Dr. Xu!"

The commotion in the house quickly attracted many people. Everyone looked at the ugly face of the senior official, and remembered what he said at the time that he would burn them to death. They were very angry for a while, picked up the vegetable leaves in their own boxes, and threw them at the man. .

The man wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

More and more people gathered at the door, the man could only grit his teeth and look at Xu Miaomiao and said in a low voice: "Xu Miaomiao, this is endless!"

As he said that, under the cover of a group of yamen servants, he fled hastily.

"Miaomiao, what should we do now?" Gu Yuanniang and Xu Guo packed up the pieces of the table and chairs, looking at Xu Miaomiao helplessly.

"go home!"

Xu Miaomiao's powerful voice sounded.

Gu Yuanniang asked in disbelief: "Go home? Doesn't that prove that we are afraid of him."

"No, Liu Niang." Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman and said slowly: "We don't have a deep family background like the Cui family, and we don't have a background in official uniforms. Only the support of the people can't be delayed for long. We can't help but go home quickly, this restaurant will be closed for two days, anyway, the cotton is about to mature, and we can come back after the cotton is harvested."

"En." Gu Yuanniang nodded and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Just listen to Miaomiao."

The two quickly packed their things, but they didn't see the dimming of Xu Guo's eyes.

"Mother, why is it so early today?"

Er Bao blinked and looked at Xu Miaomiao innocently.

"Mother hasn't been there recently, so stay with you at home."

"Great!" Erbao cheered happily: "Finally, I can be with my mother."

Xiaobao on the side also nodded excitedly.

Xu Miaomiao laughed, but she didn't spend time with the two children during this time.

The next day, Xu Miaomiao woke up and took Gu Yuanniang and Xu Guo to the cotton field.

Looking at the budding cotton, Gu Yuanniang was a little surprised: "Miao Miao, you also discovered the cultivation of this cotton?"

Xu Miaomiao nodded slowly, and said awkwardly: "I also accidentally discovered that this cotton is suitable for living here."

"Bravo."

As Gu Yuanniang said, she left a piece of cotton, and the soft texture inside made her pinch a few more times: "When the cotton is ready, I will also buy some more to make clothes for Ling'er."

"Ha ha."

Xu Miaomiao smiled slowly, staring at the cotton field in the distance. In the past, the cotton was a tough root, why she always felt that it had become a little soft recently.

"It's Mrs. Xu."

Village head Wang also came to inspect the cotton field, and confronted Xu Miaomiao, Xu Miaomiao nodded slowly, and after thinking about it, he still called the man to stop.

"Miss Xu, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Wang, what happened to the cotton field recently?"

"No." Village Chief Wang touched his head in doubt: "Did Mrs. Xu discover something?"

"It's nothing." Xu Miaomiao said, "I just feel that the cotton roots are a little soft recently. Village Chief Wang should pay attention."

"Yeah." The man lowered his head and pondered for a long time, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Mrs. Xu, don't worry, I will watch carefully."

Xu Miaomiao then nodded and followed Gu Yuanniang home.

The next morning, when Xu Miaomiao was still sleeping in the cup, she was woken up by a rapid knock on the door.

Song Weiwei opened the door first, and saw that it was Wu Zhuang who said impatiently, "Wu Zhuang? Why did you come early?"

Wu Zhuang took a deep breath, and said intermittently: "I, I'm here to find Mrs. Xu."

"Oh."

Song Weiwei nodded and shouted towards the main house: "Xu Miaomiao is looking for you."

After all this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she hurried out to check in her coat.

I saw Wu Zhuang yelling all over his head, and looked at Xu Miaomiao and said eagerly: "Ms. Xu, the cotton field has been plagued by insects. The village chief asked me to come to you."

"what!"

Xu Miaomiao frowned, and hurriedly put on her clothes and took a simple wash. She said that she thought something was wrong with the cotton but couldn't explain it. She didn't expect it to be a pest.

Wu Zhuang said as he walked: "The village chief found a small bug yesterday, but he didn't pay attention to it. He thought that all plants would be like this. When I went to see it today, the bottom and bottom were bitten by bugs, so I called you over quickly. When everyone heard that there was a problem with the cotton field, they were all in a hurry."

"Well, I see." Xu Miaomiao's furrowed eyebrows never fell, and she hurried over there.
