Seeing that it was getting late, she wanted to hurry up the mountain, hoping to be back before dark. Now it seemed uncertain whether she could go up today, so she stood there with her arms folded, watching the situation develop.

Anyway, the food in the space is enough for the whole family to eat for decades.

After Liu saw that she had finished speaking, some people began to question her, not believing in Mengyue's ability and fearing that they would encounter danger going up the mountain, so they all began to back out.

However, Dazhu, Erzhu, Wang Daniu, Wang Erniu, and the village chief's son Youliang, who had lived in the family, stood firmly by Mengyue's side.

In addition to these people, there are four other people who firmly believe in Mengyue.

Seeing this, Liu looked at Mengyue provocatively, as if to say, "You little bitch, let's see what you can do now."

Mengyue didn't expect to encounter this early in the morning. Her originally happy mood became a little bad, but when she thought of the baby in her belly, she silently told herself that the bitch would get her comeuppance, and she would just wait and see.

"In my opinion, we should not let Mengyue go up the mountain. Uncle Mengyue, the hunter from our village, can do it."

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't think so. Although I often go hunting in the mountains, I have never hunted wild boars, let alone coming back empty-handed every time." When Zhuang heard someone recommend him, he immediately waved his hand to refuse.

As Liu spoke, the other two people's minds suddenly became active.

To be honest, they didn't really want to leave, but without water, crops couldn't grow and they had no food to eat. Although they had an extra income this year thanks to Mengyue from selling locusts, the family had so many expenses that they couldn't save much.

Besides, as ordinary people with the surname Qi, they have no source of income on a daily basis, and their food throughout the year depends on the harvest from the land.

So when the village chief asked them to go up the mountain to find water, they agreed without hesitation. But now it seems that letting Meng Yue lead the team is obviously not a good idea.

Another point is that when the family was collecting locusts, Mengyue did not work, but everyone knew that Mengyue was the backbone.

If something happened to Mengyue, they were afraid that the family would stop collecting locusts, and they would suffer a huge loss of income. How could they allow this?

In fact, they had thought about collecting locusts themselves and making more money that way, but the villagers had never done such a thing before, and no one wanted to be the first to do so.

Of course, the most important reason was that the family didn't have that much money. Even if they had saved a whole year's income during this period, they knew they would not be able to make this business work.

Haven't you seen that the locust farmers collect tens or even thousands of catties every day and make a few taels of silver easily? However, all their belongings are not enough to cover the cost of collecting locusts in one day, let alone buying things to fry them.

Mengyue had no idea that someone else had such thoughts. She stared at Liu jumping up and down, very calmly.

"Village chief, you're just looking at Mengyue bullying the young men in the village. Are you in cahoots with Mengyue?"

Liu saw that someone responded to her words, but it did not cause any harm to Mengyue. Instead, it made her look like a clown. How could she bear this?

Seeing that the village chief always protected Mengyue, he was confused and said these words.

At this time, besides the village chief and his men, there were also many villagers selling locusts at the gate of the house.

These people were busy catching locusts in the fields yesterday when they learned that Mengyue had brought people up the mountain.
