Chapter 33: We Won't Bother with This Mess Anymore

Ge Xiulan's husband entered the Commune Revolutionary Committee last year; she had taken advantage of his position more than once, and now she didn't even look the village head in the eye: "That sounds nice, but it's just reporting to the police. What loss could the village possibly suffer? I suspect you know who stole from my family and are deliberately stalling for that person."

The village head's wife, who had been chasing after them, heard this and got angry: "Look at you, working yourself to the bone for the villagers, only to be criticized. What do you hope to gain?"

Saying this, she stepped forward and grabbed her husband's arm: "Let's go, let's go home. We won't bother with this mess anymore."

The village head didn't want to report to the police because he thought: if a villager stole it, they could drag the person out, lecture them privately, and make the Ge family whole with compensation, without making a big scene. If the village's reputation was ruined, it would affect the young people's ability to marry.

But he didn't expect Ge Xiulan to say such hurtful words: "Fine, since you think it's inappropriate, then let it be as you wish."

Ge the Eldest and his siblings exchanged glances, then heard Ge Xiulan say: "Second Brother, what are you waiting for? Hurry and report to the Commune police. With my family's Daguo's status, the police will naturally take it seriously and surely find that little thief very quickly."

But things didn't go as planned. The police did arrive quickly, but after some investigation and questioning, just like the village head, they had not a single clue. After all, the thief not only stole the Ge family's entire savings but also moved away most of the firewood outside the courtyard and the stone slabs prepared for building a house. What kind of thief could do that?

Those who were at odds with the Ge family naturally had no shortage of cold remarks: "You say this thief stole from no one else but specifically the Ge family? Let's not mention other things; what person could move so many stone slabs in such a short time?"

"I think the Ge family must have done something that angered heaven and outraged people, and Heaven is warning them. Otherwise, tell me, what thief has such great ability?"

For a moment, the villagers spoke in a whirlwind of opinions, and the Ge family went from victims to the ones being criticized, nearly causing the Ge family members to die of anger.

It was only after Ge Xiulan brought up her husband's status that the villagers calmed down a bit.

Ge Lizhuang's commotion was something Liu Chuxue had no heart to pay attention to.

After settling her parents in the front, she went to the back to find a seat and finally had time to study the space.

Closing her eyes to feign rest, her consciousness entered the space. Looking at the barren fields, she thought of the items she had collected at the Ge family's home. She quickly used her will to move that pile of things to her feet and began searching inside for what she wanted.

She thought that planting the empty fields right in front of her was the priority; as for everything else, she could take it slowly later.

After rummaging for a while, she actually found quite a few crops suitable for seeds: corn, sorghum, wheat, soybeans, mung beans, red beans, black beans, and peanuts. She even found some cotton seeds. The rest were sweet potatoes, potatoes, and various vegetable seeds.

She wasn't greedy; finding these was already very good.

According to the information transmitted by the jade tablet, the time ratio between this space and the outside world was four to one. This made her extremely excited. With the support of this space, she believed she could quickly lead the Second Branch out of their predicament.

In her previous life, although she lived in the city, she had visited her friends' farms many times. When she felt like it, she would experience the joy of being a farmer. She had a good memory and could firmly remember things after doing them just once.

Plus, she had the original owner's memories. Once these merged, she quickly got the hang of it.

After dividing the land and planting according to her plan, the bus entered the city. She heard someone shout: "Driver, stop the bus at the intersection ahead."

She quickly withdrew her consciousness and looked out the window to memorize the road.
