Chapter 39 The Locust Plague Arrives



Granny Jia: "I...I...I..."

Chen Gui said irritably, "Alright, I'm not listening to your explanation. What's the point of bringing this up now?"

Fifty or sixty strong laborers helped two families with their work, and they finished several acres of land in one afternoon.

Everyone watched as swarms of locusts flew away to other places.

Chen Qingshan asked in confusion, "Dad, where are these insects going?"

Chen Guiyi said with a deep breath, "It's probably because there are a lot of lazy people in that village who don't want to work, so the insects go there."

He glanced at Chen Xian, who remained silent, and chuckled, "You should all thank Brother Xian. If it weren't for him, all of your crops might have been wiped out by locusts."

Sister Guihua said in surprise, "No way, Uncle Village Head, didn't you say that harvesting wheat early was your idea?"

Chen Gui shook his head: "What ability do I have?"

Da Cheng's mother praised, "Da Zhu's father, since he got married, his personality has changed, and he's even become very smart. It's amazing."

Dog Egg's Mother: "Who says otherwise? I've long felt that Da Zhu's father is no ordinary person. He's a scholar who attended a private school for a year and a half."

"So, the women of the Su family aren't jinxes, but rather bring good fortune to their husbands."

"That's right. Those men who were engaged before didn't have the good fortune to marry a woman from the Su family."

The more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems.

Chen Xian said helplessly, "Dog Egg Mother, are you disliking me or praising me? I'm not a scholar, I can only be described as a child who can read."

Chen Gui said in a deep voice, "Let me say this: after we collect the grain, I will send one jin of grain to Brother Xian's family. You can all act according to your conscience."

Everyone was taken aback.

They all echoed this sentiment.

"Of course."

My uncle smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will dry the grain thoroughly, making sure it is completely dry and free of any straw or dust."

The women, who were originally thinking different things, became uneasy.

"That's natural."

Click on us.

They really are a family; they're all incredibly shrewd.

Chen Xian said calmly, "No need to be so polite. We're all from the same village, there's no need to be so formal."

"Yes, yes," Gou Sheng's mother echoed.

The sun was setting in the west.

Bathed in the golden sunset, the people of Qingxia Village, though tired, all wore happy smiles.

Cicadas were buzzing all around.

The leaves of the tall poplar trees rustled softly.

Old Song chuckled softly, quietly observing the young man, as if there was something different about him.

The man was tall and straight, spoke gently and calmly, and although his expression was calm, he seemed very confident.

He only saw this in the thriving shopkeepers in town.

This guy is really good.
