Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"You must listen more to what Yueyue says. In the words of your aunt, Yueyue is the little lucky star of our Baili Village!" After the village chief said this, he smiled and climbed back onto the roof.

An Yue smiled and said, "Uncle, please don't tease Yueyue!"

Li Wu's wife walked up to An Yue and asked, "Did Yue Yue really mean what she said?"

An Yue pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Auntie, although what Yueyue said today is not absolute, we should take some effort to dig out the drainage ditch first, which is also a precautionary measure."

"It would be best if there were no major floods. If there were, we would have minimized the losses, right?"

"Well, Yueyue is absolutely right. This matter has more advantages than disadvantages." After listening to An Yue's explanation, Li Wu's wife nodded in affirmation.

At this time, the village chief, who was on the roof, said while spreading wheat straw: "It's always right to listen to Yueyue about these things. You may not know that it was Yueyue who first proposed digging a deep well in our village!"

"As for the locust swarms, we asked everyone to harvest the wheat early. Yueyue also discussed that with me in advance."

After hearing this, Li Wu and his wife looked at An Yue in surprise.

Li Wu's wife covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Oh my goodness! Isn't this a lucky star?"

An Yue shyly brushed her hair aside her ear and said, "That's because Uncle trusts Yueyue enough. Besides, Uncle had already thought of digging a deeper well, but Yueyue just brought it up."

The village chief said on the roof: "Then I have to thank you for this. If Yueyue hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind right away."

Li Wu's wife clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Alright, alright! We should all be grateful anyway!"

After hearing this, several people burst into laughter.

At this time, Qin walked into the yard from outside the fence and asked with a smile: "Seeing you guys laughing so happily, what's going on?"

"Aunt, uncle just said that you called Yueyue the little lucky star of our village, and everyone is talking about it now."

When An Yue saw Qin coming over, she quickly stepped forward and hugged Qin's arm, shouting, "Auntie is here!"

Qin smiled and patted Anyue's hand gently, saying, "So that's what happened! By the way, Huairen, ask the villagers to come to the meeting. They are all gathered at Xiaopo."

Li Jing and several others ran the entire Baili Village in less than half an hour.

When the villagers heard that the village chief was going to call an emergency village meeting, they all put down what they were doing and rushed to the west end of the village from their homes.

At this time, the village chief had finished laying wheat straw on the roof.

He slowly came down from the roof and discussed with An Yue in the yard several things to be said at the village meeting.

The villagers have gathered in an open space beside the main road at the west end of the village, each with a look of confusion on their face.

The village head and his wife and An Yue walked up the small slope.

Several women standing on the roadside saw the village head and his wife coming, and they hurriedly asked, "Village head, why are you so anxious to gather everyone here? What's the important matter?"

The village chief turned his head and answered as he passed by: "I will tell you all about it later."

Soon, the village chief and his wife and An Yue stood on a small slope in an open area.

He shouted to everyone: "Fellow villagers, please be quiet immediately."

Everyone looked at the village chief and soon fell silent.

The village chief said: "I have called everyone here today to discuss three things."

"First of all, the government will send people to the village in a few days to collect taxes and silk cocoons. Please prepare the grain to be paid and the recycled silk cocoons in advance."

"Next, An Yue will tell you about the second and third things."

After the village chief finished speaking, he raised his hand and motioned for An Yue to take a few steps towards him.

At this time, people in the audience began to point and talk.

An Yue cleared her throat, stood next to the village chief Li Huairen, and said loudly: "Dear elders, my name is An Yue. Next, I have two things to tell you. I hope you will listen carefully."

“The first thing is to solve the food ration problem.”

After An Yue finished speaking, there was silence in the audience, and the villagers were all looking forward to what An Yue would say next.

An Yue asked everyone loudly: "The village chief just said that the government will send people to collect taxes soon. After we pay the taxes, will our whole family go hungry?"

Everyone responded: "Yes, yes, yes, that's right..."

An Yue made a gesture to silence everyone, and the villagers all fell silent at the same time.

"Now, I have a way to fill my stomach, I hope it can help everyone."

At this point, the villagers' eyes began to fill with anticipation.

In order to avoid a scramble, An Yue did not plan to say it directly, but to make rules first.

She asked: "But I have a prerequisite, can you agree to it?"

The villagers all asked, "What are the conditions?"

"We have to go dig together and distribute it uniformly according to the number of people to ensure that everyone can get a share."

A man in the crowd said, "As long as we can solve the problem of food rations for everyone, we are willing to do anything."

An Yue nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Okay, if anyone is unreasonable, acts arrogantly, fights, or quarrels, his entire family will be expelled from Baili Village. Do you agree?"

Another man standing at the back stepped forward, pointed at An Yue and asked loudly, "Who else but you? Why should we listen to you?"

At this time, the village chief frowned and stood up, pointing at the man and yelling, "Wang Erbao, what are you doing? Be quiet!"

The village chief shouted to the villagers, "Who is she? Today I will tell you who she is! She is the savior and lucky star of our Baili Village."

After that, the village chief paused and continued: "Speaking of this, everyone has a question, how come she is a lucky star, right?"

Everyone nodded.

The village chief asked all the villagers, "It has been five months since the drought began. How are the villagers in the other villages around our village doing now?"

A middle-aged man in the crowd sighed, "Alas! Some died of thirst, some died of starvation, and many fled with their families."

"Have you ever thought about why other villages have people dying of thirst and starvation, but not ours?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The village chief clapped his hands and said earnestly, "That's because there are no wise men in their village! No one suggested digging a deep well, and no one asked them to harvest the wheat early! No one is willing to take the risk of being blamed and cursed by thousands of people."

The villagers kept silent and bowed their heads.

The man named Wang Erbao scratched his head and said loudly: "That's because the village chief leads well."

The village chief shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no, it's not just my credit."
