Master County also came to the fields to see Pei Qin's family digging up sweet potatoes. A bunch of people who got the news from the entire Taiping Town gathered around to watch.
Some people came over to touch and see, thinking about sneaking away with a piece of these rare sweet potatoes.
Pei Qian was watching the whole time. She had hired some workers, but she also pointed out the two young ones from Sun Quanliang's family and a servant of Chang Yonglin to keep an eye on the sweet potatoes to prevent anyone from stealing them. Seeing someone attempt to sneak away after touching, she didn't say a thing but quickly ran over, grabbed the person who took a sweet potato, and yanked at her clothes to snatch the sweet potato from inside. With an angry expression on her face, she scolded, "You shameless thief! How dare you steal our sweet potatoes!?"
When the crowd heard someone was stealing sweet potatoes, they all turned to look.
