The moment the old lady went out, the old man also got up and followed her.
When he saw the village chief, the old man burst into tears.
The village chief and some villagers saw the couple who had been sarcastic about the grain harvest yesterday, now kneeling down in front of the village chief.
Just because the village chief can't do anything to the old lady doesn't mean he will let the old man go.
"What did you do last night?"
When the old man heard the question from the village chief, he was too embarrassed to say that he didn't want to harvest, so he allowed his wife to make trouble and angered the old man away. Then he went home to sleep.
But what the old man didn't expect was that just because he didn't say it didn't mean that others wouldn't say it.
"Village Chief, I know Uncle Gui went to the fields, but he returned home not long after."
Then another person spoke up, "Maybe there's something urgent going on. No, they wouldn't leave the rice unharvested."
"Yes, yes, village chief, my family has an emergency, that's why I came here."
The village chief gritted his teeth in hatred for a moment.
"It's urgent. I think the urgent thing is fake, and the real thing is that I want to sleep."
The old man lowered his head in shame, too embarrassed to look at the village chief.
Old Lady Gu didn't care about that. Her rice had not been harvested, and once the locusts came in large numbers, it would be too late to harvest it.
I want to quickly ask the village chief to send people to help collect them all while there is still time.
"Village chief, stop saying these useless things and get people to help harvest the rice!"
"That's easy to say. We didn't dare to rest for a moment yesterday. Our calves were so tired that they kept cramping. And you guys, on the other hand, slept all night and now you're complaining that it was useless."
"Zhou Zhaodi, shut up."
The old man knew he was in the wrong and couldn't even raise his head in front of the village chief and villagers.
He thought that as long as the village chief asked someone to help collect the things, it wouldn't matter if people said a few words to him.
The village chief was about to give in, but his wife came to hold him back again.
Suddenly he began to doubt why he was so blind to marry Zhou Zhaodi, such a troublemaker, into the Xi family.
Otherwise, the old man would not have divided the family business. He also has a capable granddaughter who eats well and dresses well every day and does not have to do any hard work.
And it won't be long before he can live in a bright new house and enjoy the envious gazes of the villagers.
He also saw clearly that Mengyue's current status in the village was slightly higher than that of the village chief.
The key point is that the village chief didn't mind. He even felt like he was deliberately building up momentum for Mengyue.
If the family had not split up, with Mengyue at home, he could still live a good life.
But all of this was messed up by Zhou Zhaodi. If she hadn't offended Mengyue so badly, nothing like this would have happened today.
Without him saying anything, the boss and the uncle would harvest the rice, and he wouldn't have to kneel here and beg.
But even so, Zhou Zhaodi still couldn't see the situation clearly and wanted to use her shrewish ways to force the village chief to compromise. How was this possible?
Unexpectedly, the village chief said sarcastically, "Why? We're all tired after a day and a night and want to rest, but we're worried about the locusts breeding too much, so we're all forcing ourselves to catch them. Why can't you two go to the fields and still need everyone's help?"
"Village Chief, my land..."
The old man knew the situation in the village, but he just didn't want to go to the fields. He hadn't done farm work for many years.
The most important point is that their family owns 17 acres of land.
Normally, he would think that the land at home was too little and would think about saving money to buy a few more acres.
When he thought of the seventeen acres of land, his head became dizzy and he didn't know how to finish it.
He also felt particularly regretful for giving the three acres of dry land in his family to his father.
