Li Mengyue saw Yu Yu hesitating and asked softly, "What's wrong, Yu Yu? You can tell me anything!"
"It's just...it's just...I want a capture net too."
"Oh, what am I supposed to do? Sister, I still have some. Give it to you."
"Thank you, sister."
Yu got the catching net, his face turned as red as a monkey's butt, and he ran away with the children.
After a while, Hao came back.
"Sister, sister, I also want a fishing net. My brother has one, so I want one too."
Li Mengyue couldn't resist the sparkling look in Hao's eyes. Without any hesitation, she took out a catching net from her backpack and handed it to Hao.
"Yeah! Thank you, sister. I have a catching net too. I'm going to go home quickly to get a small bamboo basket and catch locusts in the fields."
Hao took the capture net and ran away.
Li Mengyue was about to leave when she saw two boys beside her legs. They didn't say anything, but just blinked at her with their big wet eyes.
What else could be unclear about this?
Well, the last two capture nets can’t be saved.
There are two boys, one is Xuan and the other is the young master of the Jiang family.
The two of them were very excited when they got the catching net, and they were eager to try it out to see if they could really catch locusts.
Later, she saw that there were still 11 children without a catching net, so Li Mengyue, who was originally walking home, had to turn to Uncle Yang's house and ask him to help make a dozen more catching nets.
"You guys go play in the fields with Yu and Hao first. I'll find someone to make you some fishing nets. When I get home, you guys can each have one, okay?"
"Okay, thank you Sister Yue."
When the 11 children who didn't have a catching net heard that their sister Yue would find someone to make one, they held back the tears that were about to fall, grinned widely, and became visibly happy.
Children are children, they can cry at any time and laugh at any time.
Looking at these children who were still able to maintain their innocence after being abducted by human traffickers, Li Mengyue was sincerely happy for them.
At this time, the children are all looking forward to having a catching net of their own, so of course we have to satisfy them.
So the children and Li Mengyue went their separate ways. The children went to play in the fields, while she went to Carpenter Yang's house.
Before reaching Carpenter Yang's house, I saw people coming to the Yang family one after another from afar.
When Li Mengyue arrived at Yang's house, she found out what had happened. It turned out that the village chief had demonstrated in the field how useful the catching net was, and everyone was jealous.
Although catching locusts is not a physically demanding job, it is not easy to bend over all the time.
Young people are better off; they can sleep well at night and feel full of energy the next morning.
But this is not the case for the elderly who are over 60 years old. After bending their waists all day, they will feel severe pain at night and some of them cannot even sleep.
Even so, no one felt it was hard. When they thought about being able to earn money right at their doorstep, even though they were in pain, they were still happy in their hearts.
On the next day, he still endured the pain in his waist and went to the fields. Even if he didn't catch much, he could earn a penny a day. After a few days, he could earn a few pennies to supplement the family income.
Just as many elderly people in the village were catching locusts in the fields despite their back pain, the village chief took something and dove into the fields.
At first, no one was happy. After all, the village chief's family also needed money, and it was not shameful to catch locusts with one's own hands and sell them for money.
