In the kitchen basket, there were a few watermelons that Xuexue had picked from the watermelon field last night, intended as a gift for each of the village's elders, letting them have a taste—after all, she and her mother still needed to live in Mo Family Village.
It never hurts to build good relationships with people of status within the village.
Moreover, watermelons were already flooding the markets of Jingshan Town.
Xiaohe Restaurant's fame had grown significantly, attracting patrons from wealthy families in neighboring counties who came specifically to place watermelon orders.
Watermelons were selling fast and for high prices, unaffordable for the average household.
The Mo Family Village had been buzzing with talk, a mix of envy and jealousy, so when word got out that Big Bull had left, those who were jealous began to spread rumors in an attempt to find some psychological balance.
Those unable to get rich themselves resented the wealth of others.
