The reason why everyone knows about it is because of Gui Gui and the old lady.

Before the locust plague came, Mengyue asked the village chief to notify everyone that all the rice in the fields had to be harvested in advance.

But Guigui and Laotai felt that it would be a loss if they harvested the rice too early, so they wanted to wait another ten days or half a month. However, when the locust plague came, Guigui and Laotai became anxious.

Fearing that the rice in his field would be eaten by locusts, he ran to the village chief's house crying and begging him to send someone to help him harvest the rice.

On the one hand, the village chief was angry that Guigui refused to listen to advice and insisted on not accepting the money. He didn't want to do anything about it and let Guigui and his wife learn a lesson.

But he couldn't bear to grow and carefully tend the rice for several months, only to see it being eaten by locusts when the harvest season came.

They are farmers and rely on the fields for their food and the rice they harvest. Even if he is angry, he cannot go against food.

He immediately called the villagers together and asked them to go to the old house and fields to help with the harvest.

Fortunately, most of the families in the village had harvested their rice, so many people went to the old house and fields to help.

Even so, not all the crops were harvested before the locust plague arrived.

Finally, a little bit was left and went into the locust's mouth.

He was there at the time and saw with his own eyes how the rice was completely eaten by locusts.

The most heartbreaking thing is that his stepmother, the old lady, not only did not thank the villagers for helping to harvest the rice, but she resented the villagers for harvesting too slowly, causing so much of her family's rice to be destroyed by locusts.

The villagers were exhausted from harvesting their own rice and just wanted to lie down in bed and take a nap.

As a result, they were called by the village chief to help harvest grain from the old house of the Gui family. Although everyone said they were willing and would not leave a single grain of rice in the field, they could not help but feel a little resentful in their hearts.

It was really because Old Lady Gu behaved so badly that many villagers had opinions about the Gu family's old house, no, to be more precise, about Old Lady Gu.

If the village chief had not spoken up, An'an would have had a good reputation in the village, and the villagers were counting on Mengyue to help them make money.

The rice in the old house of the young family was all eaten by locusts, but no one would even bother to look at it, let alone drag their tired bodies to help with the harvest.

䀴This time the villagers helped with the harvest. Although they were not very willing to come, they still helped in the end.

However, every villager who helped exclaimed in surprise when they saw the heavy rice harvested from the fields of the old house.

Even my third uncle, who had been farming all his life, came to the fields with staggering steps when he heard the news.

Seeing the plump grains of rice, he kept praising Hai for taking good care of the fields, which allowed him to harvest so much food.

When the villagers saw Third Uncle praising the sea cucumber, they all came forward to ask for his advice on farming.

There is no other way, they also want their own fields to grow so much food.

Hai was an honest man and would not hide anything. After he told the story, everyone dispersed.

Seeing that he didn't care about his son at all and had this kind of character, Gui Gui treated Gui Hai a lot better.

When the old lady saw the attitude of the nobles, she would think twice before trying to provoke the Hai family again.

Because she knew very well that her biological son Jian had lost money gambling, his reputation was ruined, and he was expelled from the college and would never be able to study again.

She had always dreamed of becoming an official's wife, but Jian destroyed her dream with his own hands and even swindled away the only money left in the family.

He couldn't rely on his biological son, and the second son, An, had split up the family, so only the eldest son, Hai, was left.

If because of her fault, Xiao Hai also resisted the division of the family, how could they cultivate so much land relying only on her and Xiao Gui?

Not to mention working in the fields every day, she couldn't even stand it for one lunch.

In other words, over the past month or so, the life of the Hai family has been a little better than before. Regardless of whether they can have enough to eat, at least they are not beaten and scolded by the old lady every day.
