Some people think that the village chief is a little confused. He really shouldn't entrust such an important and dangerous matter to Li Mengyue. If something happens to her and the Li family no longer collects locusts, what should they do?
Some people also believe that Li Mengyue never came back empty-handed when she went hunting in the mountains before, simply because of good luck. This time, when she was looking for water, it was not just a simple hunt outside the area, but she went deep into the mountains.
Needless to say, everyone knows how dangerous the mountains are. In addition to ferocious beasts that can bite people to death, there are also many unknown poisonous plants that can easily harm you.
Therefore, on weekdays, the hunters in the village only dared to go out to the periphery and rely on luck to get some small prey. The women and children only picked some wild vegetables and mushrooms and other dried goods to sell in the town.
More and more people gathered in front of the Li family's door, and there were two different voices on whether to let Li Mengyue take people up the mountain.
As the sun left the horizon and rose higher and higher, the sleeping earth woke up, but the Li family had not yet come up with a set of rules.
The village chief saw everyone like this, and his expression was very dull, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.
In the past, he still felt that although the villagers had not had a good life under his leadership for a few days, they would unconditionally agree with every decision he made, and no one would object.
So much so that before this morning, he had never thought that someone would disagree with his decision.
Those who had objections saw that the village chief remained silent, and their voices gradually became smaller. Some even looked at the village chief's face cautiously, not realizing that the village chief was too angry. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, secretly feeling that they were too rash. The village chief had already made up his mind, so why should they say anything more? What if they were put on the village chief's blacklist?
Obviously, the villager was overthinking it. The village chief was not angry at all, but rather happy.
He took over the position of village chief at the age of 30. At the beginning, he was very ambitious. He believed that with the joint efforts of him and the villagers, the people of Xinghua Village would live a good life, no longer be bullied by others, and it would not be so difficult for young people to get married.
What disappointed him was that no matter how he tried, no matter how he encouraged and mobilized people, he could not find a way to ensure that everyone had enough food. The village was dead and lifeless all year round.
Every time something happened in the village, as long as he made a decision, everyone would silently implement it and support it. This was also the reason why he would donate some food to help the poorer people in the village when his family could barely fill their stomachs.
Now things are good. Ever since the Li family started collecting locusts, the village has been boiling like someone suddenly threw something into the cold oil.
Every day, someone gets up before dawn and goes back very late at night. Adults and children alike are full of energy. Even if their waists ache from bending countless times every day, as long as they see locusts, they will act immediately, collect the locusts and sell them to the Li family for money.
It seems that because of Li Mengyue, the smiles on the faces of the villagers, young and old, are more than in the past few years combined.
Whenever he saw this kind of situation, he felt a sense of comfort in his heart.
It really is worthy of the fact that the ancestor told him in a dream that he was a noble person. Ever since Li Mengyue came into the village, everyone's life has been thriving.
The villagers were arguing about whether to let Li Mengyue lead the team. When they went to the mountain to find water, Master Ma had already brought the team over.
Li Mengyue looked at Master Ma and said to the village chief, "Grandpa Village Chief, you guys chat first. I have something to do at home this afternoon, so I won't keep you late."
The village chief blushed a little when Li Mengyue said that, but at the moment, he had to first resolve everyone's prejudice against Li Mengyue, clear the obstacles for Li Mengyue to become the village chief, make everyone trust Li Mengyue more, and believe that she can lead everyone to live a good life. This is what he has to do now.
