The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 254 The Vicious Female Supporting Flees to Farm (4)

Many villagers came to fetch water from the river.

In the past, only one or two stepping stones were exposed, but now you can reach the small fish and shrimps at the bottom with your hands.

The villagers who came to fetch water picked up some fish and shrimp by the way, but their faces were not very happy.

God has not rained, and the rice fields are dry and cracked.If this continues, this year's harvest will be even worse than last year's.

"Damn it, God! Last year it rained endlessly, and the harvest was not good. This year, it didn't rain at all. This is going to starve us to death!" A village woman began to wail, cursing.

The third sister tugged on Xu Yin's clothes, a little scared watching this scene.

"Don't be afraid." Xu Yin patted her head.

"Sister-in-law, the chief is also here." Erlang tugged on her sleeve.

Xu Yin looked up, the frowning white-bearded old man was the chief of this area?

After thinking about it, she put down the bucket and walked over.

"Lichang, do you always think it will rain in the near future?"

"You are……"

"She is Da Lang's wife." The village woman who recognized Xu Yin laughed heartily, "She is a hot little lady!"

"Oh, it's Da Lang's wife."

The head of the village also heard about Xu Yin's behavior at noon, although he didn't like her disrespectful attitude towards the elders, but in detail, it was indeed the fault of Li's family.

Therefore, if you don't like it or not, you still express your own opinion on Xu Yin's question:
"It doesn't look like it will rain this day, I'm afraid this year..."

Li Chang sighed and shook his head, the times will not be too good.

Xu Yin said, "I used to hear from a merchant who traveled all over the country that the drier the place, the easier it is to attract locust plagues."

"Locust plague?" Hearing the words, the Li Chang turned pale instantly, and murmured, "Yes! The generation of our ancestors suffered from locust plagues, and the locust plagues crossed the border, and the grains were not harvested! What should we do? Yes..."

The young ones didn't understand: "What is a locust plague? How could there be no harvest?"

The older ones had heard their parents and grandparents mention it, so their complexion also became very bad.

"Li Chang, if there is a locust plague, our village will suffer the most." Xu Yin reminded them, "Our village is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains on three sides. I heard from that person that locusts like to lay eggs on uneven highlands in mountainous areas. Once Our village bears the brunt of locust plagues."

As soon as these words came out, the blood faded from everyone's faces.

"How can this be good?"

"Shouldn't our Lijia Village also be like the Beiguan people, fleeing everywhere and never returning home?" A village woman squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying.

Someone took the lead, and many women wiped away their tears.

"Daughter-in-law, I think you know a lot. Do you have any good ideas?" the chief asked Xu Yin.

Xu Yin pondered: "At the moment, I haven't thought of a better way, but if it doesn't rain and the drought is avoided, the follow-up locust plague is very likely. Instead of waiting until the last crop fails, it is better to harvest the millet as soon as possible. Find a place to take refuge."

Not very likely, but definitely will happen.

But she knows the plot, the villagers don't.

A few people stared at her disapprovingly: "What? Collect it now? A lot of it is still green millet, so what can be harvested if it is not full? Are you not reassuring?"

Xu Yin ignored his last sentence, and sincerely persuaded: "Even if the harvest is small, it is better than no harvest."

The head of the village was silent for a while, and then sighed: "That's all! Everyone go back and discuss with the family, and each decides!"

Although most villagers are worried about drought and locust plagues, they are unwilling to harvest rice now.

It's only the beginning of May, at least half a month before it matures. One side of the millet is yellow, but the other side is still green, and they haven't fully grown yet. All it takes is a heavy rain, and there will be a good harvest.Now accept, who is willing to!

Aunt Li found out that it was Xu Yin's idea, so she ran to her house and yelled:
"What's your heart, you bitch? Let's harvest the unripe millet, what will we eat later? You're fine! One mu of land will take half a stone of grain from me, and we don't care how many stones we harvest in the field, you poisonous woman Ah! What a poisonous heart! This is trying to starve us to death!"

As soon as Xu Yin's courtyard door was closed, she acted as an opera singer.

That's all she said anyway.

Everyone listened if they wanted to, and she couldn't press their heads if they didn't want to.

Like Aunt Li, there are quite a few people who feel that Xu Yin has no good intentions, and they murmur in private:

"Her family has no land. I'm afraid she is jealous of our landed family. I wish our harvest would not be good!"

"How can there be such a vicious person!"

"It's no wonder that her elder brother and sister-in-law want to marry her off even if she doesn't want a bride price. If it were my sister-in-law, I wouldn't be able to bear it either."

"Poor Da Lang..."

Although Xu Yin was behind his back, but not the children of each family.

So, when these children were playing, they laughed at Erlang and Third Sister: "Your sister-in-law is a vicious woman! She came to your house. You two idiots will be killed by her sooner or later!"

Erlang spat at the speaker in a "bah" voice: "You are a fool! My sister-in-law is a good person!"

"Yes! Sister-in-law is very good to us!" The third sister touched her cuff, then looked down at the cuffs embroidered with green bamboo, and nodded vigorously, "Yes! Sister-in-law is the best!"

The child who was spat on didn't want to give up, and threw himself on Erlang, and the two wrestled together.

Erlang was young and weak, so he was quickly beaten by the older boy riding on the ground.

Xu Yin heard from the neighbor next door that Erlang was being bullied, so she hurried over and pulled the child away.

"No fights! Speak up if you have something to say!"

"Poison woman! Bah!"

The kid made a face at her and ran away with the others.

The third sister cried out in fright, crouched beside Erlang and choked up, "Sister-in-law, second brother's face is broken, woo woo..."

Erlang's cheek was scratched by the child.

But he didn't cry, and bared his teeth and said, "I bit him, it's not bad!"

Xu Yin took the two of them home, wiped his face with a clean towel, and then disinfected him.

"Sister-in-law, is this wine?" Erlang smelled alcohol and asked curiously, "Do we still have wine?"

"Well, sister-in-law's dowry."

When Yuanshen came, she brought a package. In fact, she only changed two sets of clothes, but anyway, except for God's knowledge, only she knew what was in the package.

The two children were young, so they had no doubts at all.

"It smells so good! My dad loves drinking alcohol the most!" Erlang sniffed, desperately smelling the unique aroma of alcohol.

Seeing his expression, Xu Yin couldn't help laughing, even disinfecting him didn't feel the sting, the child was probably starving.

"Sister-in-law will cook egg noodles for you tonight, do you want to eat?"

"miss you!"

"Do we have a meeting?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law exchanged it with someone else, but you are not allowed to tell it."

"know."

After this incident, Xu Yin, who was raising a cub independently for the first time, felt that she had to move.

It is reasonable for Meng's mother to move three times.

Living environment accounts for half of a child's success.

Although she didn't have the ambition to raise a champion, she also didn't want the two boys to spend their childhood fighting with others all day long.

Coupled with the imminent famine, since there is no way to change the status quo, then escape to fight for a chance of survival.
