Xiao Jinli listened to the strange stories the villagers were telling about stealing vegetables, and she couldn't help but feel speechless.
Then, she said, "Okay, aunts, I'll have the dogs guard the village entrance, and if they see any strangers coming to steal vegetables, they'll catch them."
Xiao Jinli had anticipated that the vegetables in the villagers' fields would be popular when sold in the open market town.
She didn't expect them to be so sought after that sellers wouldn't want to sell, and buyers would rather come and steal them.
Chen Qiulan smiled and said, "Jinli, it's not that we don't want to sell our vegetables, but we only have enough for our families to eat. We need time to grow more. Nowadays, the vegetables in the fields have become the spiritual food for our children. If they can't get them, they'll make a fuss and refuse to eat. But, on the other hand, during this time, my two children have become more and more rosy and probably eat better because of it."
