1340 Sharp-Tongued Woman (2/2)

Zhang Zian suddenly felt somewhat humbled and short of breath. He swallowed and was just about to speak when he heard her shouting again. ”Yeah, y'all! What are y'all doing?”

He was almost frightened by this large outburst of noise. He felt like he was going to have a heart attack. He turned around and saw that she was not yelling at him, but at a telecom engineering car that was passing by the window.

Deputy Director Yan jumped up from her chair, rushing out of the office and into the street. The sounds she made could be heard clearly from far away.

”You! I am talking about you! I'm telling you that Donghua Community does not allow new telecom equipment rooms. Those things produce radiation... What? This was assigned by your supervisor? Did your supervisors ask the public for their opinion? Huh? The residents of the Donghua Community have unanimously demanded that this equipment can no longer be installed! Who said it? I said it, and I represent the public opinion of Donghua Community! I want to complain to you on behalf of all residents of the Donghua Community!”

The staff in the telecom engineering car were probably stunned by this treatment. Being berated in such a manner, the woman did not dare to even let out a fart. She said that she would ask her supervisor once more and obediently turned around and left.

Like a fighting dog who'd won the match, Deputy Director Yan went back to the office with satisfaction. She flicked her hair and returned to her seat.

”About…”

As if he were afraid of her hearing him speak, Zhang Zian deliberately lowered his voice and reported his recent observations to Grandma Gu. He stressed that a large-scale pest disaster was likely to occur in this area.

”Oh, so that's it. Let me think...”

Grandma Gu went quiet for a little while.

Binhai had never had an insect disaster before. Thus, she had no direct understanding of the dangers of a large-scale pest invasion.

Now, as an elderly person, she knew that she had experienced many hardships in the first half of her life. She did not feel that there was any seriousness in this matter. She even thought that young people and children were too delicate and pampered. Weren't these merely caterpillars? How was it worth making a fuss about?

However, Zhang ZIan, a child she'd known growing up, was not part of the strawberry generation. Still, though he was a grown man now, he was still a child in her eyes.

So, out of diligence, she asked, ”In your opinion, if we want to deal with this, what should we do?”

”That is...dependent on the severity.” Zhang Zian tried to use a gentle tone to talk about it. ”If the situation is not serious, you can use some basic soil treatment methods to control the pests. If the situation is serious, then...”

”What if the situation is serious?” Grandma Gu asked.

Zhang Zian gritted his teeth. The situation must be fully explained. Otherwise, he was afraid that it would not catch the attention and vigilance of Grandma Gu, though he must admit that this was not his style.

”If the situation gets very dire, I am afraid we can only spray Trichlorfon on the trees... If we want something more targeted, we can use... Cypermethrin on the trees,” he said.

”What? What are those?” Grandma Gu was highly puzzled about what she'd heard. First, Zhang Zian was already speaking rather quietly, and she could not hear him well. Secondly, she had never heard this strange vocabulary before.

”It is...a pesticide.” Zhang Zian spoke even more softly.

”Pesticide? No way!”

Grandma Gu did not say anything, but Deputy Director Yan yelled first. She slammed her hands hard on the table.
