Village ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is never open unless there are major festivals or important events.
The door was open, and next to it were tables and chairs for meetings. In addition to the village chief Wen, there were four elderly people sitting there.
These four old people are the elders in the village. Usually they don’t have to work at home and have their children and grandchildren to take care of them. If their families were not so poor, they could live a life of enjoying their grandchildren.
But even these few people, facing their ancestors in the ancestral hall, were all depressed.
"Third Uncle, you are very knowledgeable. Do you have any solution to the problem you just mentioned?"
Even though Wen was the village chief, he was still a junior in front of the four old men. He did not dare to act arrogantly and sat at the bottom. It was he who asked the third uncle questions.
"Oh! What can I do? Is it really that God has given us no way to survive?"
Third Uncle sighed and said something depressing.
"If it's really necessary, we'll explain it to the villagers and catch them in the fields, both adults and children, before it breaks out."
"You said this is a terrible idea. It won't solve the problem at all and will only cause panic in the village."
"Then what do you think we should do? Don't forget what happened decades ago. If we don't handle it right, the villagers might not survive."
"How should I know? Isn't this just a discussion, a solution? If the locust plague was so easy to solve, so many people wouldn't have starved to death back then."
The village chief originally wanted to invite his third uncle and others to see if there was any way to make preparations in advance to avoid the locust plague from breaking out too late and leave hope for the villagers.
I didn't expect that they, who were all in their twenties, would start quarreling like children.
Just when he was thinking about whether to stop the fight, his grandson Zebao came to the ancestral hall to call him, saying that Sister Yue had come to the house and wanted to see him for something.
Thinking of Zebao being rescued, he saw the girl when he took his family to his home to give a thank-you gift.
Why would such an extraordinary-looking girl come to him? What was the matter?
The village chief followed his grandson home with doubts.
As for the four people who were arguing, when they saw the village chief leave without a word, they thought of the things flying around in the fields and no longer had the heart to continue arguing. They all walked away with staggering steps.
Mengyue came to the village chief's house just to remind them about the locust plague and ask the village chief to persuade the villagers to raise ducks. She had no intention of staying for dinner.
But seeing how welcoming Grandma and Aunt Youliang were, she felt like she had done something "immoral" if she didn't stay for dinner.
It seemed that they had to have this meal at the village chief's house, but she didn't want to embarrass the two of them, so she picked up the rabbit and went to the kitchen.
He took a kitchen knife and a bowl from the chopping board, and bled and skinned the rabbit neatly. In a short time, the entire rabbit's skin was peeled off without damaging its fur.
Scoop some clean water from the bucket and clean the rabbit.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
"Bang!"
It was clear that a rabbit was being cooked by Mengyue.
The village chief's wife and the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had thought about stopping it, but Meng Yue acted too quickly.
They were used to using kitchen knives, but in Mengyue's hands, the knives seemed to have souls, and they obeyed her and cut the rabbit meat effortlessly.
Moreover, the pieces of pork are evenly sized, and they are beautiful just by looking at them.
"Auntie, we have some food, so we can stew the rabbit."
Mengyue chopped the rabbit and reminded Wang that it was time to cook the rabbit meat, but she didn't get a reply.
Only then did I see the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, their mouths wide open, looking extremely surprised.
She guessed that she might have been too rough in handling the rabbit and scared the two of them. She said a little embarrassedly, "Grandma, Aunt Liang, I'm a coward. I didn't even dare to kill a chicken before. I just learned this."
"Ah! I was saying that Yue girl is such a kind girl, how could she possibly kill a rabbit? It must be the old woman and her family who forced her to do it. Look at what they've done to our Yue girl. She bled the rabbit without blinking an eye."
【Host, the grandma is implying something about you.】
Mengyue had not experienced much of the ways of the world, so when she heard what the system said, she also felt that what her grandmother said was not right.
She couldn't tell what the problem was.
