A smile as bright as a sunflower bloomed on Shen Ningning's lovely face.
She walked forward. "Everyone's busy, huh? Can someone lend a hand and help me get the loquat saplings down?"
"Village Chief, have everyone come to you to get the saplings—a maximum of three per family!"
The old village chief said, "Excellent, excellent! Ningning, this is all thanks to you!"
He immediately called a few able-bodied young men over to help.
Shen Ningning looked at Chief Wang. "Huh? Why are you all crowded around Granny Chen?"
Aunt Deng raised her voice. "She's hiding a stranger in her house! For all we know, he's one of the bandits roaming the area!"
With that, her eyes widened and she pointed at Chen Ye, who was beside Shen Ningning.
"Chief Wang, that's him! There's no mistake. I saw him hiding in Granny Chen's house!"
"Hiding? You must be mistaken. This is Brother Chen, Granny Chen's son," Shen Ningning said.
