Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Early the next morning, Wan Shufang went to the ground to take a look around, and then returned home worried.

Thinking of the locusts he saw on the mountain, he immediately called the boss and his wife.

"I went to look at the fields today and saw locusts on the mountains. The severe drought has just passed. I am worried that there may be a locust plague.

She said solemnly, there is an old saying since ancient times, after a severe drought, there will be a major disaster, so we have to prepare for it in advance.

Chen Ping, Chen Tao and his wife did not take it seriously. Chen Ping even said indifferently: "Mom, you are overthinking. Isn't it normal that there are some locusts on this mountain? There will be a locust plague anywhere."

"Yes, mother, don't make a fuss about everything." Wang Xiaohui curled her lips and said.

Seeing that they were not taking it seriously, Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows and sternly lectured: "What do you know! If there really is a locust plague, all the food in the field will be eaten away by those scourges, and there will be no more crops left in the field in the future." Food, we don’t want to starve to death, the land is our root, we can’t let locusts cause disaster!”

When the sons and daughters-in-law saw their mother getting angry, they immediately dared not say a word. Since their mother came back from being sent to the death kiln, she seemed to have become a different person, becoming more and more powerful and majestic, just staring a little. , can scare people away from speaking.

Wan Shufang felt a little relieved after seeing her two sons obeying the instructions obediently, and then began to assign tasks to a few people.

She first looked at Wu Qiaoyue and said, "Boss, my wife, go to the town and buy a big goose and buy a bag of brown rice by the way." Then she took out ten taels of silver and handed it to her.

Wu Qiaoyue accepted it flattered, her hand holding the silver still trembling a little. After all, her mother would never give her so much silver before.

Wang Xiaohui on the side saw the silver in Wu Qiaoyue's hand, a flash of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she cursed in her heart: Mom is so old and confused, why did she leave such a lucrative job to a fool like my sister-in-law!

How could Wan Shufang fail to see what Wang Xiaohui was thinking? She sincerely wanted to teach her a lesson and continued: "Second daughter-in-law, go and catch some toads in the pond."

Wang Xiaohui immediately quit and said, "Why should I catch toads while my sister-in-law goes to town to buy food? I don't care, let my sister-in-law catch toads while I go to town!"

It’s so outrageous! Wan Shufang sneered, slammed her palms on the table, and said sternly, "Go and arrest me if you are told. There is so much nonsense! If you don't want to go, get out of our house. If you dare to contradict me again, I will let you go." I’ll give you a rest!”

Wang Xiaohui was startled. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to say such strong words. She immediately withered and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Shocked by her daughter-in-law, who couldn't stop, Wan Shufang looked at her two sons again and ordered coldly, "You two, go get straw to surround our land. Remember to make it tight. There shouldn't be any gaps!"

Chen Ping and Chen Tao looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Chen Ping frowned and said, "Mom, will this affect our family's food harvest?"

"Yes, mother, I don't think this is necessary..." Although Chen Tao was afraid of my mother, he was more worried about food, and he also hesitated to agree.

"I'm not dead yet! Now that I'm still the head of this family, you all have to listen to me!" Wan Shufang slammed the table again. She knew she couldn't make sense with these two silly sons, so she could only suppress them forcefully.

The two of them shrank their necks and did not dare to object anymore.

With Wan Shufang's urging, the two boys quickly surrounded their land with straw.

She also put the geese and toads into the field, so that even if a locust slipped through the net and flew in, these two locust nemesis would be effective immediately, which was a double guarantee.

The villagers in the village soon discovered the changes in the Chen family's land, and they were all talking about it, wondering what the Chen family was doing.

There were some good-hearted men and women who ran to the door of Chen's house and asked them why they made the fields like that.

Wan Shufang still had kind thoughts in her heart, so she kindly reminded her, "I was worried that the locust plague would come, so I made some arrangements in the field in advance. If you are free, you should also make preparations in advance."

The villagers naturally didn't believe it, and they hadn't heard of a locust plague in any village.

Aunt Dong, who had always been at odds with Wan Shufang in the village, even mocked: "Widow Wan, don't be so blind as to talk about the locust plague.

Isn't it just to scare everyone? Isn't it something you heard from a sweetheart? "

"Bah! I think you just want a man. You are not clean and you are slandering others. Get out of here or I won't be polite!"

Wan Shufang cursed rudely, her face terrifyingly gloomy.

She remembered this woman in the memory of the original owner, and was jealous that she had married the original owner's husband, so she had always held a grudge. She had spread rumors about her in the village over the years, and the words she said were all unpleasant to the ears.

Seeing Wan Shufang's fierce look, Aunt Dong immediately didn't dare to speak anymore, but she was wondering in her heart that this old woman didn't dare to be so tough with her before, so why did she become so serious after being sick?

Wan Shufang didn't bother to talk nonsense to these villagers, and closed the door of her courtyard with a bang.

She had said everything she needed to say, and it was their business not to listen. Anyway, her conscience was over.

She didn't know that behind a big tree not far away, Chen Changli saw everything just now.

Chen Changli couldn't help but think highly of Wan Shufang. This woman could predict that the locust plague would soon come, and responded to it. She also kindly reminded the people around her that being able to do this was nothing like an ordinary woman. Village woman.

He became increasingly curious about his wife, whom he had not seen for many years.

On the second day, shortly after dawn, some villagers living at the head of the village ran to the center of the village in a panic and shouted: "It's not good! Everyone, come out and take a look! There is a locust plague in the next village! Those locusts He will fly to our village soon!"

This shout instantly woke up everyone in the village. The villagers ran out of the house in horror. Some of them didn't even have time to put on their pants, so they went to the fields to grab grain.

Wan Shufang was also awakened by the sound. She didn't expect the locusts to come so quickly. As soon as Gulu jumped out of bed, she packed all the food she bought a few days ago into the space.

She was afraid that the villagers' food would be eaten up by locusts, and she would be thinking about her family's food then.

If a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything, and she has to guard against it.

No matter how panicked the villagers were, the locusts soon flew over the village in a mighty force, covering almost half of the sky. The dim sky seemed like the end of the world was coming.

The villagers rushing to harvest looked at the dense locusts gnawing at the food in the fields, with despair in their eyes.

The situation of Wan Shufang's family is much better. At this moment, they are all hiding at home, looking at the locusts in the sky outside, with fear and shock in their eyes.

"Mom, thank you for your foresight, otherwise our crops would have been eaten by locusts." Chen Tao swallowed, with fear on his face.

"That's right! Who is our mother? A well-known capable person from all over the country, our family is supported by my mother!" Chen Ping also flattered him for free.

Wu Qiaoyue looked at her mother-in-law with admiration.

Even Wang Xiaohui, who was usually the most scheming, looked at Wan Shufang with awe in her eyes.

"No one should go out before the locusts leave!" Wan Shufang ignored their afterthoughts and warned her, then went back to her room.

When he opened the door, he saw Chen Changli lying on the bed.

Wan Shufang was more horrified when she saw him than when she saw locusts, and she lost her voice: "Why are you here?"
