Chapter 841 The Entertainment Industry, The Original Female Lead Killed by the Transmigrator (7)
After returning to his room that evening, Xiao Yun connected to the State Grid on his computer to check on the latest developments regarding Feng Yuyao. Feng Yuyao's body had already been taken for an autopsy.
Because Feng Yuyao usually gets up late, sometimes sleeping until the afternoon, she was only discovered by the housekeeping staff who came in to clean around 3 or 4 pm today. The staff first called for an ambulance and then the police. The police notified Feng's family, and she was only taken there recently after all that trouble.
As for the evidence against the Feng family, she hadn't released it yet. Although it would be better to conduct the investigation now that things were in chaos, the simultaneous occurrence of two events could easily lead to speculation and complications. She would wait until the matter of Feng Yuyao's death was settled before making a decision. She wouldn't be in a hurry to finish the investigation in a couple of days.
Then she looked at the news about herself. The police had already issued a statement regarding the drug possession, and she reposted it on her own account. This had to be cleared up. The other negative news was just marketing accounts stirring up trouble, and there was no substantial evidence.
She was woken up early the next morning by the noise of her parents washing up, even though they tried their best not to make any noise. But she had such sharp ears.
Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I got dressed and went with them to the granary.
In the past, when land was scarce, we ate our own food and had to dry it to preserve it. Now, we sell it, so once the harvest is complete, we can just hire someone to haul it away, although the price will be lower.
The wheat being harvested now is winter wheat, and the yield is quite good, with about 500 kilograms per mu. The purchase price for this kind of wheat that has not been dried is about one to one and two yuan, so one mu can earn more than a thousand yuan.
After the winter wheat harvest, corn and soybeans will be planted next, with corn yields reaching 700 to 800 kilograms.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao rented a total of 60 mu of land, of which 20 mu were used to grow cotton and vegetables. After deducting expenses, they could earn about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.
Even with mechanization, it's still really tiring, especially growing cotton and vegetables, which often requires fertilization and pesticide application. Even if you pay someone to help, you can't just sit idle.
So the couple were both dark-skinned and thin, looking like old farmers toiling in the fields. They didn't even look like a family when they stood next to the original owner, let alone Xiao Yun, who had a more imposing presence.
When they arrived at the granary, everyone they met was looking them over. Those who knew the Xiao family couple but had never seen the original owner of the body came up to them and asked questions.
"Zhanliang, your relatives from the city have come?" A similarly dark-skinned uncle looked at Xiao's father curiously for a few moments before asking.
Xiao's father's name was Xiao Zhanliang, and Xiao's mother's name was Li Helan. Both of them were from Nanyao Village, which used to be named after a pottery kiln.
"This is my daughter, Xiao Yun. She usually comes back for the Chinese New Year, so you haven't seen her before. This time, her workplace suddenly gave her a holiday, so she came back to rest for a few days."
Xiaoyun, this is your Uncle Zhang. He came from Anhui Province to lease land here. His land is next to ours.
Mr. Xiao introduced the two to each other.
"Hello, Uncle Zhang." Xiao Yun greeted him politely from between her parents.
"Oh, good, good, good! I never expected you old rascal to have such a beautiful daughter. She's definitely capable. You two are going to be living the good life from now on. Unlike me, my two sons are both good-for-nothings. I have to work my butt off to earn a fortune for them..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Xiao Tao and his wife are both very capable and obedient. You're still not satisfied, unlike my daughter who only comes home for a few days a year..."
The two started chatting in a typical Chinese style, praising each other's children and pointing out their own children's shortcomings.
The granary here was built by the village and rented out to everyone. Those who lease land store their grain here temporarily. Soon, a few more people gathered around and joined the conversation.
Xiao Yun regretted coming along; not only was she unable to help, but she had also become the subject of gossip, and her face was almost frozen from smiling.
After a long wait, the grain buyers finally arrived, and once the price was agreed upon and the grain was weighed, she was freed to help her parents keep records.
After working for most of the day, they finally hauled all the grain away. The payment was settled immediately. Although it was already past 1 p.m. when they got home, they still drove to the bank because they were always worried about keeping cash at home.
There are often petty thefts here, especially since it's not like the city where there are cameras everywhere. When family members go out, they have to lock the door, and once the door is locked, people know that no one is home.
In addition, the walls around the courtyards are now high, so if a thief gets in, neither of the neighbors on either side will know.
The bank was in town, so the family of three went there together. They found a restaurant there and had lunch, then went to the market to buy some chicken, duck, fish, and meat before heading back.
When Xiao Yun arrived in town, she noticed that people were observing her from time to time. They were all young people, and she didn't sense any malice from them; they were just curious. They were probably frequent internet users who recognized her.
They were all quite well-mannered; they just chatted briefly with the people around them and didn't take any photos with their phones. Of course, it's also possible that she's not very well-known yet.
……
And so, Xiao Yun stayed at home for a week, while Feng Yuyao was confirmed to have died suddenly and was buried.
Her bonus has arrived, but she needs to go to the bank to confirm it and pay taxes, so she has to go back.
She also told her parents that she would buy a house in Beijing and bring them there, and that they should stop planting after this season. The lease contract was expiring, and someone had already mentioned that the rent would increase if they renewed the lease, so she could use this as an excuse to cancel the lease.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao did not object. They were not stupid. Who would want to suffer when they could enjoy life? Besides, living in the capital was something they dreamed of!
Xiao Yun left the car with them. She was sure she would buy a better one when she got back. This one would be perfect for her father, who had a driver's license and had been driving for over twenty years. The family used to have a pickup truck, but it was scrapped because it was too expensive for him to go to school, so they never bought another one.
I took the high-speed train from the county town and returned to Beijing in half an hour. I went directly to the bank I had booked online and used 20% tax plus a large sum of foreign currency to get myself a VIP membership.
Then we went directly to the new housing development we found online and bought a detached villa. We didn't buy a very big one, as the family's main goal was comfort.
Then she registered a company and bought a commercial vehicle worth over a million yuan in the company's name. The whole process almost exhausted her.
If this world were generated from a wish-fulfillment novel, she wouldn't be working so hard; she could just throw money at it and hire someone to do it. But this is a grassroots inspirational story.
