But Zhiyu is Zhiyu. If she can't survive now, how can she care about the future?
Even if all the villagers in the seven villages joined in selling locusts and made some money, they still could not afford to repair the reservoir for free for a few months, even though the reservoir was closely related to everyone's future life.
Thinking of this, Li Mengyue frowned.
Seeing that Li Mengyue said nothing, the seven village heads began to worry in their hearts, wondering if the reservoir could be built.
Although they raised doubts, deep down they still agreed with building the reservoir, a project that would benefit future generations.
In the past, they couldn’t even get enough to eat, and every day they were only thinking about making more money to buy food.
Now that I finally have the taste of having a full stomach, I don’t want to go back to the old days.
Therefore, they know better than anyone how important the construction of the reservoir is to the village.
Now that someone has started to do this, they will naturally give their full support. Apart from anything else, they still have some effort.
But if Li Mengyue backs off and stops talking about building the reservoir because of the money issue, then they will be celebrating for nothing.
"you go."
"I'm not going. I think we should ask Lao Li to go."
"Yes, Miss Li is from Xingxi Village, so it's Old Li who should go and ask."
Village Chief Ma and his companions whispered to each other for a while, and then Village Chief Ji walked to Village Chief Li and poked him with his hand.
"Lao Li, Lao Li."
Village Chief Li saw Village Chief Ji raise his chin, not understanding what Ji meant, and shouted, "What?"
Village Chief Ji was afraid that Li Mengyue would hear him, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing."
Then Village Chief Ji whispered in Village Chief Li's ear: "That's right, I just want you to ask Miss Li whether the reservoir will be repaired."
When Village Chief Li heard this, he naturally understood the concerns of Village Chief Ji and others. In fact, he had the same concerns.
But before Village Chief Li could ask, Li Mengyue smacked her left hand against her right hand and said happily, "Got it."
"Grandpa Village Chief, do you have something to say to me?"
Village Chief Li did not continue to speak, but instead asked: "Girl Yue, what do you want to do?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, fellow village chiefs, didn't I just say that we need some stones to build the reservoir? Can we pay for them?"
"Yes, ten pounds for one cent. To build a large reservoir, there are so many stones. Where can I get so much money to buy them?"
"That's right, that's right. Without silver, how can I tell the villagers? How about this, Miss Li? The stones mined in Lianxi Village are free. The reservoir is built for the benefit of the seven villages. It's unreasonable to ask for money."
"I think what Village Chief Ma said is right. The reservoir was built for us and we shouldn't ask for money. On behalf of Guiying Village, I'd like to make a statement here. No matter what other villages think, Guiying Village will not ask for money." Village Chief Ma assured Li Mengyue sincerely, and did not forget to take the time to glance at the other village heads.
"Anyway, our Guiyi Village will definitely stand on Miss Li's side. No matter what Miss Li says, Guiyi Village will strictly implement it, unlike other villages."
"Old Ma, what do you mean by that? It's as if you're the only one supporting Miss Li. It's the same in Meixi Village. We don't want money, we just want Miss Li's money, and the entire Meixi Village won't dare to disobey."
"Humph, Zhoujia Village is the same."
Li Mengyue saw that as soon as she said something, several village heads started arguing.
She was touched by the support of the village heads, but now was not the right time, and she had to find a way to make money.
