When he opened the door, he saw a figure outside, which scared him.
Looking closely, it turned out to be the village chief.
"Village chief, there's no need to get up so early."
"How can it be early? I didn't sleep the whole night before yesterday, sitting and waiting for the dawn. I finally waited until now, and you still say it's early."
Ma Wei understood the village chief's feelings and said nothing. After the village chief sat down, he drove to Xinghua Village.
Outside the Li family’s gate in Xinghua Village.
Just like yesterday, there was a long queue, and everyone was either carrying or hugging a small bamboo basket. Without exception, they all treasured the small bamboo basket in their hands.
After all, what's inside are locusts that can be sold for money, and they are also the hope of the whole family, so how can we not take it seriously?
After yesterday's day, the village chief's wife and five other women had become familiar with the work process and came to Li's house early to help collect locusts.
Especially Li Lingling, her condition has changed a lot compared to yesterday. You know, before coming here yesterday, she was still very depressed and had lost confidence in life. If her three daughters were not still young, I am afraid she would have died long ago.
I worked at Li's house for a whole day yesterday and earned ten copper coins. When I got home, I felt the hospitality of my two sisters-in-law. The clothes of my three daughters were no longer dirty, and the youngest daughter even had a pancake in her hand.
You should know that only the children of my two sisters-in-law are qualified to eat this treatment.
She knew very well that the attitudes of her two sisters-in-law had changed so much. It was simply because she came to work for the Li family and earned ten cents a day.
Of course, she earned money to make her daughter's life better, so she didn't keep all the money, but gave it all to her mother.
The two sisters-in-law saw that although the money did not go into their hands, it went to their mother-in-law, who had to save it and spend it on her son and grandson, which was equivalent to spending it on them as well, so they didn't care anymore.
However, if the sister-in-law gave the money to them for safekeeping, they would be happier and would not mind being nicer to their three nieces.
Li Lingling originally thought that her two sisters-in-law would make a fuss if they couldn't get the money, but it turned out that they were very obedient.
But at night, she realized that she was overthinking it, because her two sisters-in-law took a fancy to her work and wanted to work in the Li family instead of her.
Fortunately, her mother helped her, even though she was divorced and sent home, which made her mother lose face and she suffered a lot of grievances from her two sisters-in-law.
However, her mother still stood on her side as it belonged to her, severely reprimanded her two sisters-in-law, and said that the money she earned was to help her save it as dowries for her three grandsons.
The two sisters-in-law had already regarded the money as their own. When they heard what their mother said, they were naturally unhappy and started to make a fuss at home. Fortunately, the eldest sister-in-law came to work and helped to resolve the situation.
In fact, Big Breast also understood their family situation and knew how important this job was to her, so she said it in front of her two sisters-in-law.
"This job can only be Lingling's, neither of you can think about it."
At that time, she saw how ugly the faces of her two sisters-in-law were, but for the sake of her three daughters, she knew that she could not compromise, otherwise she and her mother would have no way to survive.
Besides, their lives are already difficult enough. If she doesn't work harder, her three daughters may never grow up.
Ma Wei took the village chief with him and drove for about half an hour before arriving at Xinghua Village.
As soon as they arrived at Xinghua Village, Village Chief Ma, who was sitting in the car, saw that there were already quite a few people on the ground. He knew that the villagers of Xinghua Village had gotten up to catch locusts. This made him even more excited and he completely believed that collecting locusts was real.
In fact, when Ma Wei told him about this yesterday, he was so excited when he first heard the news that he didn’t think about it at all.
At night, sitting on the bed, he slowly pondered the truth of this incident.
After all, he is over sixty years old now. In all his life, no one has ever said that locusts can be eaten, let alone made into snacks and sold on the street.
But he subconsciously still wanted to believe that this was true. After all, their village was too poor.
