Passing by the place where Jiang Jialin weighed materials, Jiang Wanwan picked up a scale, as she needed to weigh the locusts later.

Just as everything was ready, they heard a series of footsteps approaching their home.

It must be the villagers who brought over the locusts.

Jiang Wanwan called out to Jiang Liu, "Fifth Brother, could you please help me register all the locusts that the uncles brought over? I'll be in charge of weighing them."

"Okay, no problem." Since Jiang Liu learned that Su Wan'er was behind everything, most of the dejection and despair in his eyes had disappeared, and he was no longer as listless as he was yesterday.

Not only that, the hint of arrogance in Jiang Liu's eyes had also disappeared, and he looked much cuter than before.

After entering his own courtyard, Jiang He cautiously closed the gate tightly to prevent anyone with ill intentions from entering.

In fact, even if Jiang He didn't close the gate, the villagers would still have difficulty getting into their yards. The entrance was blocked by tables and benches, making it impossible for anyone to force their way in.

However, seeing Jiang He's cautious attitude, Jiang Wanwan was still very pleased.

The footsteps grew closer, and a cheerful voice rang out, "Hey, Wan girl, Liu boy, are you all ready? I thought I'd have to wait outside for a while before I could weigh the locusts."

Jiang Wanwan smiled warmly, "Hehe, Uncle Daqiang, you're here so early! You're the first one here. We just finished preparing everything. If you had come a moment earlier, we would have been waiting outside."

Jiang Daqiang scratched the back of his head and said with a simple smile, "Then my arrival is really just in time."

As they were talking, Jiang Daqiang had already walked up to Jiang Wanwan. He was carrying two bulging cloth bags in his hands, grinning as he handed them to Jiang Wanwan, saying, "Wanwan, could you please help your uncle weigh these?"

As soon as Jiang Wanwan took the two bags from Jiang Daqiang, a familiar mechanical voice rang in her mind.

[Ding! Top-grade wild, unpolluted locusts detected. Price: 198 yuan per jin (500g). Weight: 8 jin (4kg). Total price: 1584 yuan. Want to sell?]

Jiang Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she was completely disoriented.

She quickly clicked "no" to avoid giving herself away.

She composed herself and asked with some surprise, "Uncle, you didn't stay up all night catching locusts in the fields, did you?"

Jiang Daqiang chuckled and said, "Hehe, the crops in the fields have been destroyed by locusts, and I can't sleep at all. Since I can't sleep, I might as well catch some locusts in the fields. Every little bit helps, and I can exchange them for more rice later."

He remembered that Jiang Wanwan had said she wanted to collect live locusts, so he couldn't help but explain, "Don't worry, Wanwan, these locusts are all alive. I guarantee none of them are dead."

Jiang Wanwan smiled and said, "Uncle Daqiang, dead locusts are fine too. As long as they haven't gone bad, it's not a big problem."

The mall should accept both inactive and non-inactive items, just at different prices.

"Okay!" Jiang Daqiang grinned.

Jiang Wanwan hooked the scale hook onto the rope that tied the two cloth bags, swayed the weight on the scale, and waited until the scale and the bags were balanced before saying loudly, "The locusts weigh a total of eight jin, Uncle Daqiang, please check if that's right."

Jiang Daqiang said with a smile, "It's eight jin, no mistake."

Jiang Wanwan called out, "Fifth Brother, write down eight catties of locusts for Uncle Daqiang and exchange them for four catties of rice."

"Okay."

Jiang Liu responded, then picked up his pen and deftly wrote on the booklet.

Seeing this, Jiang Daqiang craned his neck to look at Jiang Liu. Although he couldn't understand what Jiang Liu had written in the register, seeing it made him feel more at ease.

"Hey, Daqiang, I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect you to be even earlier than me." Aunt Li was carrying two cloth bags, and her grandson Gou'er was also carrying two bulging cloth bags.
