When Dong Hui's words were full of gunpowder, Mariana was suddenly panicked. After all, she was just a university graduate who had worked in a foreign company but had no experience dealing with government officials. The past few months of running around to handle various certificates had exhausted her to death. She also clearly recognized some officials' faces and knew that people like Dong Hui were not ones she could afford to offend.
"Nana, what's wrong with you? When guests arrive, invite them in! Don't block them at the door like that." Ma Hailong timely poked his head out and scolded Marina.
Manina was just about to speak out in her own defense, but she saw her father give her a look, and she immediately understood what he meant.
Zhan Yan smiled at Dong Hui and others, Ma Nina smiled and said: "Director Dong, Boss Liu, since you've come, how can we let you leave empty-handed? Please come in and have some tea first. We'll discuss the vegetable procurement slowly."
Seeing Manina and Yan Yuese politely inviting each other, Dong Hui's face looked a bit better, his nose let out a cold hum, and he took the lead in stepping into Manina's doorway. Liu Yanjun hesitated for a moment, also followed Dong Hui into Manina's home.
"Nana, you're so obedient now. Doing business with our boss Liu will definitely not be a loss for you." The black kid who was walking at the back glanced over Nana's curvaceous figure with a lewd gaze and said with a sly tone as he passed by her side.
Marina frowned, suppressing the disgust in her heart and not speaking until Heizi also entered her living room. She then quickly ran out of her own courtyard and headed towards the street shop.
It wasn't until Mariana passed by the vegetable base that her ears perked up, because she heard a fierce quarrel coming from the other side of the vegetable base. From a distance, it could be seen that there was a large crowd of villagers gathered outside the vegetable base to watch the commotion.
Marina, worried about the safety of the vegetable base, didn't even bother to buy beer and quickly headed towards the vegetable base. After entering the vegetable base, she found that the five university students she had hired were confronting three strangers, while nine other strangers were rapidly harvesting ferns in the vegetable base.
These strangers were dressed in weird clothes and had trendy hairstyles, they didn't look like people you could easily mess with. Manina just took a glance at them and immediately categorized them as thugs, thinking of the time Hei Zi and his gang came to her house to cause trouble, Manina immediately realized that the vegetable base was probably going to be in trouble today.
The villagers standing around the vegetable base pointed at the group of strangers, but not one went to help. Seeing the villagers' apathy, Manina felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
When Song Baiyu first contracted the land in the village at a high price, these villagers were grateful to Song Baiyu one by one, almost taking Song Baiyu as a living Bodhisattva. They were very enthusiastic about working on the vegetable base. However, after the results of the fern identification came out, the mentality of these villagers became subtle, and some people even planned to terminate the land contract with Song Baiyu. It wasn't until Ma Hailong took out the land contract and pointed at the huge penalty clause that all the villagers were immediately stunned.
Although these villagers cannot terminate the land contract, they are delighted to see the vegetable base suffer.
"What kind of people are you, don't you have any law in your eyes? How can you casually harvest other people's vegetables?" Mariana's eyes turned red and she pushed through the crowd and rushed in.
"Ma Jie..." Hearing Manina's voice, several college students at the vegetable base were like seeing a savior, and they all leaned towards Manina, their eyes full of indignation.
Marina clearly saw that some of the college students had bruises on their faces, others were dirty and disheveled, one more miserable than the other, apparently they had a fierce conflict with the thugs before coming to the vegetable base.
"Hey, a chick has arrived! And quite a character too. What's up, wanna have some fun with us?" One of the young men with a head full of white hair eyed Marina with ill intent and catcalled loudly.
Marina glared at the white-haired young man but didn't say a word, instead asking in a low voice the several college students beside her what was going on.
"Sister Ma, these people said they came to purchase leeks. After entering the vegetable base, they started cutting them down with their hands. We tried to stop them but couldn't, and they wouldn't let us notify you..." A college student, a girl with neat teeth, explained the situation in just a few words.
These college students have a deeper affection for the vegetable base than the villagers, who have a knot in their hearts towards Song Baiyu because of land issues. These college students do not have this conflict of interest. Moreover, their salaries are no lower than those of white-collar workers in big cities, and their treatment is not inferior either. Naturally, these college students reciprocate with kindness, putting all their energy into the vegetable base.
For several months, in order to make the vegetables grow better, these university students have been squatting in the vegetable base every day, humbly listening to the opinions of experts from the Provincial Agricultural University, sweating profusely to remove weeds and pests from the vegetable base, and anxiously waiting for several months. Now that their labor has finally been recognized, someone dares to come and rob them of their labor achievements, they naturally do not agree.
Seeing these college students one by one with righteous indignation, Mariana felt a little moved. Through several months of common efforts, she had become inseparable good friends with these college students.
Quietly listening to the university students' words, Mariana coldly stared at the dozen or so thugs in the vegetable base, suppressing her urge to scold them, because she knew that these people were not something she could handle. Since Song Baiyu was heading towards her home and would definitely pass by the vegetable base, all she needed to do was delay time before Song Baiyu arrived, and not let these people continue to harm the ferns in the vegetable base.
"I'm the person in charge of this vegetable base. Before I came here, I've already reported to the police, so I advise you all to stop your actions and avoid unnecessary trouble." Seeing three thugs vigilantly monitoring the surroundings of the vegetable base, while nine others were harvesting ferns in an orderly manner, Mariana's heart was bleeding as she let out a loud shout.
Marina's loud shout made the thugs in the vegetable market pause, and then the white-haired thug burst out laughing, "Little girl, you must have watched too many TV dramas. Is reporting to the police useful these days? If we were really afraid of the cops, would we still be here?"
White hair mixed and mixed, speaking on one side, while getting closer to Manina. Reaching out to grab her delicate collarbone.
When she heard Baifa's words, Manina's face turned pale, but her eyes became bloodshot. Just as Baifa was about to put his hand on Manina's shoulder, Manina suddenly let out a sharp cry and lifted one foot to kick Baifa in the crotch.
Manina was really stimulated by the white-haired gangsters. She originally had a perfect first love, and after graduating from university, she could enter the marriage hall with her boyfriend. However, one day, on their way back home, they encountered several hooligans who not only beat her boyfriend until he was bleeding but also attempted to rape her. Manina saw that the situation was not right and called the police, but even when her boyfriend was dying, she did not see the arrival of the police. In the end, it was only when she decisively picked up a piece of broken glass from the ground and slit her wrist that the hooligans were scared away.
After what happened that night, her boyfriend gradually combed through Manina under the intervention of his family, and Manina also began to resent the police deeply. Manina had already gradually forgotten that memory, but Bai Fa's words brought back her painful memories, and she couldn't help but go crazy.
"Ah......" Bai Fa was caught off guard and kicked by Manina, he bent down in pain, with sweat beads the size of soybeans on his face, "Damn you, are you looking to die... uh..."
His white hair was disheveled as he prepared to utter a few harsh words, but before he could, Mariana swiftly approached him and kicked him again, this time aiming for his mouth. As a result, he didn't even get to finish his sentence before being knocked to the ground by Mariana.
Marina didn't stop at all because of Bai Fa's fall, she continued to kick and punch Bai Fa who was lying on the ground, the ferocity on her face made people around her feel shocked.
"Wow, Ma Jie is so cool."
"When did this girl Nana become so capable of fighting?"
“……”
Marina's sudden frenzy stunned everyone in the vegetable base, and those who were busy harvesting ferns were also thoroughly shocked by Marina's behavior. They didn't dare guarantee that Marina's next target wouldn't be them. The villagers and college students, after being stunned for a while, couldn't help but start discussing it among themselves.
More than a dozen thugs were stunned for thirty seconds before they woke up with a start under the mournful howl of the white-haired thug, and when they saw Mariana's unorthodox moves, their faces showed a look of shame and anger. One of the thugs let out a loud roar, grabbed Mariana's hair and pulled it back with all his might, and Mariana, who was in the midst of fighting, lost control and fell backwards.
Seeing Marina so battered, Bai Fa's messy hair spat out a mouthful of bloodstains, slowly got up from the ground, grinned hideously at Marina, and stepped closer to her step by step.
"You stinky brat, you're quite bold, daring to kick me! Today I'll let you taste the price of kicking me!" The white-haired thug yelled out this sentence. He fiercely raised a palm and slapped it towards Mariana's pale and delicate face.
Manina was dragged by her hair and thrown backwards, she felt a severe headache, golden stars flashing before her eyes, tears of pain streaming out, at this moment, she heard Bai Fung's words, and the sound of the wind whistling in her ears, with blurred vision, she subconsciously closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair.
