Chapter 202: The Aunt's Family Has Been Released from Prison

Bai Wei checked her phone.

She was on the way back to Qingshan Village, thinking of a way to deal with the Yuan Family Army.

For this, she had even called the manufacturer to place an order.

Right now, the manufacturer hadn't replied yet; it looked like the goods weren't ready.

Bai Wei sent a reminder message to the manufacturer, then followed the village head to go see her Vegetable Base.

The Vegetable Base was next to the Farm, covering an area of one hundred mu.

Although the area wasn't large, it adopted entirely modern planting technology.

Huge white greenhouses stood under the sky, constructed from arched steel frames and high-transmittance anti-reflective glass; when the weather was clear, the roof windows could open automatically to make full use of natural sunlight, and when it was cold or raining, the roof windows could close automatically to achieve insulation.

Inside the sheds were automatic sprinklers, using a water-and-fertilizer integrated spraying device; one only needed to press a few buttons to automatically complete fertilization and irrigation.

Picking vegetables in the countryside was also a major project; farmers would be exhausted with aching backs after picking vegetables from half a mu of land.

Therefore, in the greenhouses, Bai Wei had also installed rail cars and elevators.

When picking vegetables, staff only needed to sit on the rail cars to pick them easily.

The village head watched and clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Xiao Wei, in these ten miles and eight villages, yours is the most modern Vegetable Base!"

"With such beautiful vegetable greenhouses, how much produce must you grow?"

A few villagers watching the excitement couldn't help but worry.

"Bai Wei, now that you've built a Vegetable Base, will you still buy the vegetables from our village?"

"I will!" Bai Wei said decisively.

The Daliang Northern Frontier Army had over a hundred thousand people to feed.

Even if the vegetables couldn't be finished, she could still let Xiao Moting take them to sell for money and exchange for silver!

There were many modern vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, yellow peaches, grapes, snow pears... which were rare items specifically offered as tribute to the royal family in ancient times.

Not to mention cherry radishes, carrots, oilseed lettuce, Shine Muscat grapes... these improved vegetables and fruits were things ancient people had never even seen!

These vegetables tasted good and had high yields; they would definitely sell for money in ancient times!

Getting Bai Wei's answer, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, all the vegetables in Qingshan Village were bought up by Bai Wei, and even villagers from surrounding villages had heard the news and rushed over to sell their vegetables to Bai Wei.

Everyone in the village relied on Bai Wei to make money.

If she suddenly stopped buying vegetables, they wouldn't know what to do.

The village head was also beaming with joy.

"Xiao Wei, you've built a Vegetable Base and a school in our village, and helped the whole village get rich; the township now values you highly, and I've also basked in your glory, receiving a stern round of praise from the Township Head."

"Last time the Township Head held a meeting, he even specifically commended you at the general assembly, saying you are a new generation of rural youth and wanted to give you a certificate of merit!"

Bai Wei pursed her lips and smiled.

She wasn't interested in certificates of merit.

But in the future, when she expanded the Farm and asked the township for some benefits, such as approving a few plots of land, it would be no problem.

At this moment, the village head remembered another matter.

"Xiao Wei, I heard you participated in the Antique Exhibition and served as the Huaxia Image Ambassador; I looked it up online, that is a major international exhibition, you really have a bright future."

"Are those antiques you brought out still kept at home?"

The batch of antiques Bai Wei brought to the Antique Exhibition was priceless; it couldn't be hidden.

However, before returning, she had already thought of a strategy and had discussed it with Museum Curator Qin of the Provincial Museum.

Upon hearing the village head's question, Bai Wei spoke with a smile.

"I have handed those antiques over to the museum."

After saying this, she took out a donation certificate.

The certificate had been given to her by Museum Curator Qin.

"You donated them all?" The village head was stunned; he looked at the certificate, his face showing an expression of heartache, "Hiss, that's worth a huge sum of money; you really are willing to part with them!"

Bai Wei smiled without answering.

She wouldn't tell others that she kept the valuable antiques in her own hands and only donated a small portion.

Otherwise, if others knew she had antiques, they would definitely covet them.

Bai Wei inspected the Vegetable Base once, prepared to recruit workers in a few days, and then returned to the Farm.

Chen Ming was holding a large broom, sweeping fallen leaves in the courtyard at the entrance; as soon as he saw her return, he immediately ran up happily.

"Sister Wei, you're back?"

Bai Wei nodded with a smile, "I'm back; did anything happen at the Farm while I was away?"

Chen Ming scratched his head.

"Nothing much happened, only that your Aunt and the others have been released from prison and came looking for you twice, but I drove them away both times."

Bai Wei's expression turned cold instantly.

Calculating the time, the Aunt's family had also been released from the detention center; they probably knew about her going to Shengjing to participate in the Antique Exhibition.

The batch of antiques she exhibited was worth billions; it would be strange if these people weren't greedy.

Chen Ming asked from the side, "Sister Wei, should we call the police?"

"No need." Bai Wei shook her head.

The Aunt's family wasn't causing trouble right now, so calling the police wouldn't be useful.

It would be better to strengthen the Farm's security system and hire a few guards.

"Woof woof!"

A yellow shadow rushed over fiercely.

Dahuang hadn't seen Bai Wei for several days, so it bounded toward her in high spirits, jumping around and wagging its tail incessantly, acting very affectionate.

"Dahuang!"

Bai Wei bent down and stroked its head.

The little red horse also ran over, affectionately snorting again and again.

Its size had grown another circle; it had already become a sturdy steed with shiny fur, looking exceptionally spirited.

There were even horse farm owners who took a fancy to it and wanted to spend a huge sum to buy it, but Bai Wei refused them all.

This was a horse Xiao Moting had sent her, so she wanted to keep it.

Bai Wei inspected the farm's security; there were high-voltage electric fences and barbed wire on the walls, and twenty-four-hour surveillance cameras all around.

There was a security guard booth at the entrance, and guards took turns on duty.

Ordinary thieves could not get in at all.

She thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and called the manager of her Trade Company.

The Qingshan Agricultural Products Trade Company was in the city; Bai Wei had originally acquired the company just to use it as a cover to facilitate her own procurement of supplies.

The company's daily operations were all handled by Manager Liu, and aside from looking at the financial reports every month, Bai Wei basically didn't manage much.

"Beep, beep..."

The phone rang a few times and connected.

Manager Liu's eager voice came through the receiver.

"President Bai, are you looking for me? Would you like me to bring you the company's recent operating status to look over?"

Bai Wei didn't usually contact him much, so Manager Liu was especially excited to receive her call.

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Nothing else, I just want you to handle one thing."

"Alright, please tell me."

"I have invested in a Vegetable Base in the village, and now that the base is built, I need to hire some staff to help manage it."

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu immediately nodded in agreement.

"You need to hire people, right? I'll go post the recruitment advertisements right away."

"Good, you screen them first, then bring the applicants to me."

"No problem."

After finishing the call, Bai Wei also received a reply from the manufacturer.

"Ms. Bai, the items you ordered are ready; you can come pick up the goods when you have time."
