Hearing this, the village chief was so angry that he felt dizzy. Only one month's worth of grain was left after selling it. This left him with no way to survive!
The village chief wanted to beat up the man in front of him.
I repeatedly told them not to sell grain, not to sell grain.
This person is so good. He sold the grain and used the money to buy new clothes. Let’s see how his family will survive next.
Those families in the village who had obeyed the village chief and stored up their old grain felt relieved at this time.
Although they felt somewhat resentful towards the village chief for not allowing them to sell grain.
But at this moment, all he felt was relief. Fortunately, the village chief had foresight, otherwise they would have starved to death.
At this time, the village chief looked at the chattering villagers and said.
"It's already so late today, everyone should go back and rest quickly, as we still have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
After hearing this, the villagers helped those who were already too frightened to walk and slowly returned to their homes.
Yu Wan was also lying on the bed at this time, thinking about what had just happened in the field.
Those who usually seemed to greet her with a smile in the fields all fell to the ground when they saw the crops in the fields.
He didn't care whether his clothes would get dirty or not. He just looked at the crops he had worked hard on for several months with a look of heartache, and saw them destroyed overnight.
He Huaishu turned his head and saw Yu Wan staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"Xiao Yu, I know what you are worried about.
Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Yu Wan wasn't actually worried about the He family and herself going hungry, but she couldn't help but think that even those families in the village who had surplus food wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
At this time, Yu Wan suddenly understood.
Why did the space suddenly extract the physique that could not get tanned for her at this time, instead of the physical enhancement thing she wanted?
I think the system should have anticipated all of this a long time ago, but it was unable to tell the truth due to certain rules.
The next day, everyone in the village got up early.
As the sky was getting light, everyone rushed to the fields.
It was even more tragic than it looked at night. There was not a single good crop on the ground. All of it was smashed to the ground.
At this time, the village chief was already riding his bike towards the team.
The village chief originally thought that the brigade would at least help his village, and he couldn't just watch people starve to death.
However, the situation of the brigade was even worse than the village chief had expected.
The village chief had no choice but to find his uncle, and the village chief's uncle looked at the village chief and shook his head.
"Xiao Jiang, I also understand the situation in your village.
You have to know that in other neighboring villages, houses were damaged and people were injured.
It's already a good thing that no houses in your village were damaged and no one was injured.
Next, you probably won’t have to pay public grain, you just need to keep the villagers full for a while.
I'll try my best to see if they will allocate food.
But you also have to be mentally prepared, after all, other villages are worse off than yours.
If there is food, it will be distributed to other villages first.
Hearing this, the village chief nodded humbly and rode his bicycle back to the countryside.
The villagers were all waiting for news from the village chief, and when they saw him coming back, they all gathered around him.
"How is the village chief? The brigade won't ignore us, will it?"
"The brigade has to give us something to eat. They can't let us starve to death."
"Village chief, please say something!"
The village chief parked his bicycle and looked at the anxious villagers in front of him.
The villagers' hearts trembled when they met the village chief's gaze, and they had a bad premonition.
The village chief's expression showed that the current situation was definitely not good, otherwise he wouldn't have such a frown that could kill a fly.
At this time, the village chief looked at the villagers and slowly spoke to them.
“I know everyone is waiting to hear from me.
But what I want to tell you is that other villages have suffered much more serious damage than ours.
Take the village next door for example. Several families’ houses collapsed because of hail, and some people were injured by hail and are now in the hospital.
Compared to other villages, our village was not severely affected by the disaster."
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the villagers started to speak in dissatisfaction.
"How can it not be serious? We have run out of food. What are we going to eat next?"
"That's right. We can't just ignore us just because there are no houses and no one injured in our village!"
Hearing this, the village chief clapped his hands, looked at the villagers who had instantly quieted down, and then continued speaking.
"Then what do you want the team to do?
The brigade must give priority to those villages where houses are damaged and people are injured.
Moreover, the brigade also said that it is very likely that we will not have to pay public grain this year.
Everyone has some old grain stored at home, so it's best to start saving money.
Don't worry, no matter how difficult these days are, they will eventually pass."
After hearing the words of the village chief, the villagers looked at each other in confusion, already anticipating their future lives.
The crops in the fields were already in this state at this time. Since the village chief said that the brigade did not have the energy to take care of them, they had to rely on themselves.
At this time, the smart villagers anticipated that they would not have enough food to eat for several months, so they hurried to the mountains.
They thought that if there were wild vegetables on the mountain, they could dig some up so that at least they could fill their stomachs.
What's more, wild vegetables are easy to preserve and can be eaten for a long time after being dried.
If one person goes to dig wild vegetables, more villagers in the village will come to their senses.
They didn't even have time to complain about the fate. They just took their hoes and headed towards the mountains, fearing that they would be a step too late and wouldn't be able to dig up wild vegetables.
The village chief felt relieved when he saw that the villagers were starting to find solutions on their own.
At this time, the village chief's wife went up the mountain with the villagers to dig wild vegetables.
After He Huaishi saw the villagers going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, he also followed the villagers up the mountain with a basket to dig wild vegetables.
Although she was young, she knew that the days ahead would probably be difficult, as there were five mouths to feed at home.
The men in the village were called by the village chief to go to the fields to clean up the fields and prepare for the next farming.
The women hurried to the mountains to dig wild vegetables or see if there was anything edible to take home.
At this time, Yu Wan also followed He's mother up the mountain. He's mother was still hesitating whether to go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
Their family barely had enough food to eat, but He's mother didn't know how long this situation would last and was always worried that the food would run out one day.
On the other hand, Yu Wan secretly added some rice into the rice jar after He's mother finished cooking, in an amount that He's mother would not notice.
On the other hand, I was thinking of going up the mountain to see if there was anything to eat.
After all, everyone went up the mountain, but they were the only one who didn't. This inevitably aroused suspicion, and people wondered if they had stored a lot of food.
