Chapter 191 Sending Someone Away

Although the bodies of the two brothers were found, they also paid a price for it. Several people who went to the mountain were injured, and some were seriously injured.

That's why Liu Changquan said this.

You are not sensible enough, so you can't let others pay for you.

Liu Yinyin understood what she heard: "But, this has nothing to do with whether I go to the mountain or not, right?"

She just went to the mountain to take care of the sweet potato fields, and she wouldn't go deep into the mountains.

It can't be that the villagers won't go to the mountains just because of this, right?

Jiang Cuihua glanced at her and said, "I just thought it was unsafe for you to go up the mountain alone. Your brothers are all going up the mountain with other people now."

Anyway, after that incident, everyone in the village is in panic.

If it weren't for stuttering, no one would be willing to go up the mountain.

Liu Yinyin was not afraid, but she did not insist on going to the mountain because...

Huang Xiaoyue plans to go back to her parents' home today. Since she became pregnant, she has been staying at home to take care of the baby and has not been to Shuangxi Village yet.

Although Liu Mingyuan had already informed Huang Laizi of her pregnancy, Huang Xiaoyue still wanted to go back in person.

Moreover, she had discussed with her parents-in-law that she would stay in Shuangxi Village for two days when she returned.

The weather was too hot, and Jiang Cuihua was worried about her going back alone.

She originally planned to send Huang Xiaoyue to Shuangxi Village by herself.

Seeing this, Liu Yinyin said, "Mom, how about I take my third sister-in-law there? I have a bicycle."

Jiang Cuihua thought that it was indeed convenient for her to ride a bicycle, and it would also be easy for her daughter-in-law to take a car back.

She didn't bother to be polite with her daughter-in-law and packed five pounds of cornmeal and twenty eggs for Huang Xiaoyue to take to her parents' home.

Huang Xiaoyue often brought things back from her parents' home, and she felt embarrassed to let her young daughter-in-law go back empty-handed.

Halfway through the ride, Huang Xiaoyue suddenly said to Liu Yinyin, "Yinyin, when we get to Shuangxi Village, I'll take you to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, right?"

In fact, she didn't have to go back to her parents' home, but she felt bored staying at home every day, and there were not many people in the village working in the fields to earn work points.

Huang Xiaoyue had nothing to do, so she wanted to go out for a walk.

Liu Yinyin was stunned: "...Is this okay? Others won't have anything to say?"

Huang Xiaoyue is from Shuangxi Village, and she can go back to the village to dig wild vegetables.

But Liu Yinyin is not like that. Now that the disaster is so serious, most people in the village are inevitably xenophobic, fearing that others will steal their food.

Liu Yinyin really wanted to dig wild vegetables, but if it would cause dissatisfaction in others... then forget it. She was not a person who liked trouble.

Huang Xiaoyue said indifferently: "I can take you to a place with few people to pick wild vegetables. I'm sure no one will say anything."

There are also many people digging wild vegetables in Shuangxi Village, but there are more mountains than people in the village, so the wild vegetables in the mountains are not as difficult to find as in Liujia Village.

Everyone has relatives outside the family. As long as you don't do anything too excessive, others will just turn a blind eye when they see it.

Besides, most of the villagers in Shuangxiliu were working in the fields at this time, so she and Liu Yinyin wouldn't meet many people when they went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

Liu Yinyin still didn't agree: "Forget it, you are pregnant, so don't go to the mountain."

Medical conditions are poor these days, and it would be very troublesome if a pregnant woman suffered from heatstroke. Liu Yinyin didn't want to go up and down the mountain with Huang Xiaoyue just for some wild vegetables.

If anything happens, she won't be responsible.

Huang Xiaoyue snorted, "It's just a baby, how can it be so expensive? Other women in the village who are pregnant still work the same way as before, right?

I'm just digging some wild vegetables. I'm not doing any heavy work. It'll be fine. Besides, it's so hot outside. It's better to stay in the mountains to cool down."

Liu Yinyin smiled faintly: "No, I have to go back later."

Otherwise, by noon when we return to Liujia Village, the weather will be even hotter.

Liu Yinyin was thinking that if she followed Huang Xiaoyue to dig wild vegetables in Shuangxi Village, Huang Laizi would definitely invite her to have lunch.

As a stranger, she felt embarrassed to eat in someone else's home.

So, after she sends Huang Xiaoyue home, she will go back immediately.

Arriving at Shuangxi Village, Huang Xiaoyue first went to the fields to look for yellow licorice. The weather was very dry, and the villagers were busy fetching water in the fields.

The water system in Shuangxi Village is more developed than that in Liujia Village, but the villagers still have to carry water to irrigate the fields every day.

The rivers along the way were almost dry. Liu Yinyin smelled a rotten smell from the water that was exposed in the riverbed.

Huang Laizi was very happy to see the young lady coming. He said hello to the captain and asked for leave to go home in the morning.

"Are you feeling okay?" Huang Laizi brought out two bowls of honey water and rubbed his hands with a little excitement.

He only had one daughter, Huang Xiaoyue, so naturally he cared a lot about the little grandson in her belly.

Huang Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, the doctor said everything is fine."

Huang Laizi smiled immediately after hearing this: "That's good, what do you want to eat? Dad will make it for you."

There is no wife in the family and his daughter is married again, so Huang Laizi cooks for himself now.

It's not even nine o'clock yet, so it's not time for dinner yet.

Huang Xiaoyue said, "No, I'm not hungry yet. By the way, Dad... I want to stay at home for two days."

Huang Laizi was surprised and asked, "...Have you told your parents-in-law and Mingyuan?"

If Huang Xiaoyue wants to live at home, Huang Laizi will definitely agree.

But the girl is married after all, so she has to discuss everything with her husband's family.

"Of course, my parents agreed." Huang Xiaoyue said.

Huang Laizi became even happier when he heard this.

Liu Yinyin finished drinking the honey water and got up to go back.

Huang Laizi asked politely, "Have lunch before going back?"

Liu Yinyin declined politely: "No, uncle. I have something else to do at home. I'll leave first."

Huang Xiaoyue knew that Liu Yinyin was embarrassed to stay here, so she didn't say anything to keep her.

He only asked Huang Laizi to pack 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes for Liu Yinyin.

Huang Xiaoyue handed the bag to Liu Yinyin and said, "This is for Yanyan. We have a lot of sweet potatoes at home. Yinyin, don't be polite. And..."

Huang Xiaoyue whispered, "My dad has planted another batch of sweet potatoes in the back hills. By then, we will have more than enough to eat at home."

The land on the back hill was very fertile, and Huang Laizi couldn't bear to waste it, so he planted a new crop soon after harvesting the sweet potatoes.

Anyway, he can't eat much vegetables by himself, so it's more practical to grow sweet potatoes.

Liu Yinyin admired him very much. She took the sweet potato, thanked him, and rode away on her bike.

Halfway through the ride, Liu Yinyin suddenly stopped because she saw something.

She saw a ditch beside the road, and in the weeds beside the ditch...

Liu Yinyin took a closer look and saw that the haystack was filled with swarms of locusts, which made her scalp tingle.

The locusts huddled together, constantly wriggling in the grass and eating the leaves.
