Chapter 34: Wolves Everywhere
Daliushu Village was in an uproar!
Every household, men, women, young and old, anyone who could move rushed to the fields.
Fires were lit and the leaves of the bushes on the roadside were almost stripped clean.
In addition to the thick smoke, the air was filled with a fishy and sweet smell.
"Look! Locusts!" Someone suddenly pointed in the distance and shouted in horror.
A swarm of locusts covered the sky and flew over from afar.
However, before they approached the border of Daliushu Village, they dispersed and flew to both sides, just avoiding Daliushu Village.
Villagers: “…”
Looking at the black swarms of locusts flying past my village on both sides, I felt relieved but my scalp tingled at the same time.
Several elderly men, as if they had escaped a disaster, felt their legs go limp and they sat down on the ground.
Then, someone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
“Hahaha…the crops are saved!”
"Yes, yes! Our rations are saved..."
"Hahaha...the locusts flew away..."
For a moment, cheers were heard everywhere in the fields.
"Oh! I wonder what's happening in the Stone Village next door?" The village chief Wang Zhengyi suddenly sighed.
His daughter is getting married in Shitou Village, and she is afraid that she will not be able to escape the locust plague.
Old Man Su fell silent.
When natural disasters strike, everyone can only take care of themselves first.
Even if there is a way to drive away the locusts, time is running out and it is already difficult to save the crops in Daliushu Village.
How can we take care of other villages?
Old Man Su patted the village chief on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you ask Fugui to deliver a letter to Shitou Village? Maybe he can make it in time..."
"I'll lend you my blessing."
After the village chief finished speaking, he looked at the fields around him and became excited again.
In the end, the crops in their village were saved!
"Brother Su, on behalf of our entire village, thank you!" The village chief said to old man Su with a grateful look on his face.
Old Man Su quickly waved his hands. Although he felt uneasy in his heart, he still said, "Village Chief, you are embarrassing me with your words. What are you thanking me for..."
"Thank you for giving birth to a good daughter!" the village chief added.
Old Man Su, “…”
**
The Su family is bustling with activity.
"Mother Dahu, keep these eggs for Tangbao to cook... Tangbao is the treasure of our entire village..."
The village chief's wife said this with a smile on her face, and stuffed a basket of eggs into Old Lady Su's hands.
Old Mrs. Su: “…”
My daughter is my own treasure, that’s all, don’t worry about her!
"Sister-in-law, this is not possible. You can take these eggs back..." Old Mrs. Su quickly declined.
Usually, people in the village only send gifts to the village chief's family. This is the first time that the village chief's family sends gifts to others.
This gift feels too painful, she won't accept it.
"Mother Dahu, look at what you're saying. I've already brought it here, so why would I take it back?"
After the village chief's wife finished speaking, she looked eagerly at Xiao Tangbao who was eating roasted grasshoppers.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
It feels like being stared at by a wolf.
"Why is Tang Bao so adorable? I really want to take her away from me!"
The village chief's wife said with a smile, reaching out and pinching little Tangbao's face.
Then he said, "Tangbao, when you have time, go to your aunt's house to play. Your brother Wanglai will be there to play with you."
Wanglai is the grandson of the village chief's wife.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
You want to rob me, how can I dare to go to your house?
Isn't that like walking into a wolf's den?
Old Mrs. Su's face also looked a little unhappy.
The matter of child marriage has cast a shadow on Old Lady Su's heart.
Whenever someone mentioned her son or grandson, Old Mrs. Su felt that they had bad intentions.
After finally sending the village chief's wife away, the wife of the Su clan leader came again.
Similarly, he had a basket of eggs on his arm.
Then, neighbors Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao...
Women from every household came straight to the Su family, carrying more or less things.
Old Mrs. Su is very tired.
I feel like I'm surrounded on all sides and there are wolves everywhere.
They were all eager to take action against their little girls.
