When Shen Qiqi heard the tone was not right, she quickly put down the book and followed Lu Qing out.

"What's wrong, Dazhu brother?"

Liu Dazhu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He pointed in the direction of his own field and said anxiously, "For some reason, all the crops in my field have been eaten by insects! What should I do?"

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing followed Liu Dazhu to his field and saw that it was not just a scene of chewing, it was a scene of slaughter!

The green leaves were eaten down to the stems, and there were so many insects that it made one's scalp tingle.

Shen Qiqi took a breath of cold air. This insect plague was too fierce!

"Brother Dazhu, don't worry, I'll think of a way." Shen Qiqi comforted.

Although she is not an agricultural expert, she has seen the world after all, and such a small matter is not difficult for her!

Liu Dazhu's wife heard the noise and ran over. When she saw the tragic scene, she burst into tears.

"It's over, it's over. We can't live like this anymore! This is the food supply for our whole family!" She cried and glared at Shen Qiqi. Her eyes seemed to be saying: It's all your fault!

Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes in her heart. Could she be blamed for this?

Who did she offend?

"Sister-in-law, now is not the time to cry. We need to find a way to get rid of the insects!"

When Liu Dazhu's wife heard this, she became even more furious. "That's easy for you to say, but you should think about it! What can you come up with? I think you're just here to make fun of us!"

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm.

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I really want to help." She took out a packet of powder from her pocket. "This is what I prepared earlier. It's specially used to treat this kind of worms. You can try it."

Liu Dazhu's wife snatched the powder away, her face full of suspicion, "Does this stuff really work?"

"Sister-in-law, just try it and you'll know." Shen Qiqi shrugged helplessly.

This scene happened to be seen by Brother Lu who was passing by. He was immediately unhappy and rushed over to scold Shen Qiqi: "Third wife, what are you meddling in here again? You haven't finished taking care of your own family affairs yet, and you are meddling in other people's families! Are you just bored and have nothing to do?"

Shen Qiqi felt extremely aggrieved. She was clearly trying to help out of kindness, so how could she be considered meddling?

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

Seeing this, Lu Qing protected Shen Qiqi behind him and said to Brother Lu: “Brother, Qiqi also has good intentions, don’t say that to her.”

Brother Lu sneered, "Good intentions? I think she's just showing off! Why is she pretending to be a living Buddha?"

“Brother…” Lu Qing wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Qiqi.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and said with a firm look, "Brother, I have a clear conscience."

At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from the crowd...

"Oh, isn't this the most capable third daughter-in-law of our Lu family? What's the matter? Are you trying to do good deeds again?" The gossipy voice of Zhang Chang was like a poisonous needle, piercing into Shen Qiqi's ears.

She glanced at the gossip woman and was too lazy to pay attention to such a clown.

Seeing that Shen Qiqi ignored her, Zhang Changgou became more excited.

"Qiqi, do you want the whole village to owe you a favor? The abacus makes such a clacking sound!" She said, gesturing in the air with her hands, as if she could really hear the sound of the abacus beads.

The surrounding villagers began to whisper, their doubtful eyes scanning back and forth between Shen Qiqi and Liu Dazhu's house.

Some people began to echo Zhang Changgou's words and doubted Shen Qiqi's motives.

Shen Qiqi sneered in her heart. These days, even doing good things will be questioned. The world is really going downhill!

She ignored the gossip, bent down and observed the insects carefully.

These insects are emerald green all over and covered with fine hairs. They look like they are not good people at first glance.

She picked up a bug with her hand, put it under her nose and smelled it, and a pungent fishy smell hit her face.

"Qiqi, what are you doing?" Lu Qing asked worriedly.

"I'm looking for the weaknesses of these bugs." Shen Qiqi answered without even looking up.

She remembered reading in a book that some insects are afraid of pungent smells.

She looked around and saw a field of wild mugwort not far away.

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up, ran to the mugwort bush, and picked a handful of mugwort.

"Brother Dazhu, please help me find a brazier." Shen Qiqi said to Liu Dazhu.

Although Liu Dazhu didn't understand what Shen Qiqi was going to do, he still did it obediently.

Soon, a brazier was placed on the edge of the field.

Shen Qiqi put the mugwort into the brazier and lit it. Suddenly, a strong aroma of mugwort filled the air.

When the insects smelled the mugwort, they fled in all directions as if they had seen a ghost.

Before long, more than half of the insects in the field disappeared.

When Liu Dazhu's wife saw this, an expression of surprise appeared on her face.

"Qiqi, your method is really effective!" She excitedly held Shen Qiqi's hand.

Shen Qiqi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's too early to talk about this now. Let's wait until the bugs are completely gone."

When the surrounding villagers saw this scene, they all praised Shen Qiqi's intelligence.

Zhang Changgou's expression turned ugly. She didn't expect that Shen Qiqi could really cure the insect pests.

"Hmph, it's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse!" She muttered softly, then walked away dejectedly.

Shen Qiqi looked at her back, a cold smile on her lips. At this moment, Lu Qing walked over...

"Qiqi," Lu Qing's voice rang beside Shen Qiqi's ears, "Are you tired?"

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's busy figure, his eyes full of tenderness and sweetness. This little girl is really a treasure girl!
