While driving, Ma Wei saw the villagers rushing back to catch locusts, and he completely believed that Xingying Village was harvesting locusts.
He also had an idea in his mind, but he didn't know how to say it out loud.
Village chief Li had noticed this a long time ago. Seeing Ma Wei's hesitant look, he knew that he would definitely not remain indifferent when he saw their village harvesting locusts.
After all, there are eight villages in the entire Qingshan Town, and each village is not rich. Even though Zhulin Village has more than 2,000 people and is a big village, life there is not very good.
It's just a little better than other villages in the town.
Now that Ma Wei knows there is a way to make money, it would be abnormal if he is not tempted.
However, Village Chief Li knew that it was not him who asked for help, but Ma Wei and Lianxi Village who asked for help, asking them to collect the locusts in Lianxi Village.
But this matter is not something he can decide. Whether to accept it or not depends on Yue Yatou's opinion.
"Village Chief Li, your village is amazing. You even have a locust collector." Ma Wei said, glanced at the village chief, and continued.
"Village Chief Li, you see, we are all from Qingshan Town. The locusts caught in our village are also from Qingshan Town. How about sending them to your village?" Ma Wei said sincerely.
"Brother Ma, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the decision is not in my hands."
"Then can you tell me who is the locust collector? I beg her to collect the locusts in our village, even if I have to kneel down and can't get up."
"Hey, don't, don't do that. If you really kneel down, I guess your village won't have a chance to sell locusts."
Village chief Li quickly stopped her and said that he had come into contact with Yue Yatou several times. Although he did not fully understand Yue Yatou's character, he knew that Yue Yatou would not accept threats.
What's more, Yue girl planned to take over Lianxi Village when she came here, and he guessed that she would take over the entire Qingshan Town.
If we don’t make fried locusts, we still have ducks. If we use 1,800 acres of land to raise ducks, how many ducks can we raise?
As for where Li Mengyue got so many ducklings, Village Chief Li didn't think about it at all.
No matter what, he felt that Yue was a rich lady in the past, and even if she returned to the countryside, she must have someone on her side.
As long as Yue gives an order, someone will definitely do it and bring the ducklings over.
You know what, even Village Chief Li thought he had saved Li Mengyue a lot of trouble.
When Li Mengyue got tens of thousands of ducklings at once, no one in the village raised any questions. Everyone was brainwashed by the village chief.
I think Li Mengyue should have such great ability. It's no big deal to get 10,000 ducks at a time. She even bought a small hill and a large piece of wasteland in the village. There is really no need to make a fuss.
"Uncle Ma, you don't have to do this. You can also bring the locusts from Lianxi Village here and sell them at the same price of one penny per pound."
"Really? I... I..."
When Ma Wei heard Li Mengyue agree, he was so excited that his face turned red. He rubbed his hands, not knowing what to say.
Since Li Mengyue realized how hard life was for ordinary people, she said she could understand Ma Wei's excitement.
She collected locusts because, on the one hand, she wanted to let everyone know that locusts were not that scary, and on the other hand, it also allowed her to provide more food for the people.
After all, locusts can eat the crops in the fields. Conversely, there is nothing wrong with people eating locusts. What's more, locusts themselves are rich in protein, and eating them is only beneficial to the human body and has no harm, as long as you don't be stupid enough to eat the poisonous ones.
Ma Wei got a definite answer and wanted to return to the village as soon as possible.
Therefore, when Village Chief Li got on the ox cart, he was not like before, feeling sorry for the old ox and not wanting it to go fast. Now he kept complaining that the old ox was going too slowly.
"Brother Huang, please hurry up and take the people to their destination so that we can return to the village quickly and tell everyone the good news."
"Brother Huang, hurry up."
…
The children in the car found it amusing to see Ma Wei urging the ox to hurry up, and they also shouted from the car: "Old Huang, hurry up!"
The children's clear and innocent voices, as sweet as silver bells, added a bit of joy to the not-too-distant journey.
So when we got to the village entrance, it felt like we had arrived so quickly.
Ma Wei drove the people to the village entrance and turned the car around to go back without stopping. He didn't even hear the village chief asking him to have a cup of tea at his home before leaving. It can be seen how anxious he was to go back home.
"Girl Yue, if you really want to take these children home, you might not be able to accommodate them at your house if you don't stay at my house."
