Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

As the village chief, although he wanted to help the villagers improve their living conditions, his ability was limited and he was really powerless.

Especially when he saw the situation in the fields, he felt very sad and worried that people would starve to death or freeze to death this winter.

Unexpectedly, when he was worried about the crops in the fields, Ma Wei directly brought him the news that locusts could be sold.

Deep down he wanted to believe that this was true, but he was also a little timid. What if it was false?

In fact, after Ma Wei left, he had an urge to tell the villagers the news, but he was afraid of disappointing them.

However, now that he saw the villagers of Xinghua Village were working on the fields to catch locusts, he finally felt at ease and urged Ma Wei to hurry to the Li family.

In less than a cup of tea, Ma Wei drove the ox cart to the door of Li's house.

Seeing the endless line, Ma Wei muttered to himself: "Are all these people selling locusts? How many should we collect in a day, and how much should we give out?"

The village head's wife and five other women had already divided up the work and started to collect locusts together. After yesterday, they were all very skilled and in less than half an hour, there was no one left in line.

"Hey, isn't this Ma Wei from Lotus Village?"

Village Chief Li was holding a catching net and preparing to go to the field. He saw Ma Wei turn around and walk towards the Li family, and then he saw Village Chief Ma standing next to the ox cart.

"Village Chief Li, long time no see."

Since Xinghua Village and Lianhua Village both belong to Qingshan Town, Village Chief Li and Village Chief Ma know each other.

"Village Chief Ma, what are you doing here today? Oh, I see. You must be asking about collecting locusts. Didn't I tell you yesterday that if your village catches locusts, you can just bring them here and sell them."

After getting the exact information from Village Chief Li, Village Chief Ma exchanged greetings with Village Chief Li for a while, then left quickly without entering Li's house.

After all, only when you catch the locusts flying around in the fields and sell them to the Li family for money can you feel at ease.

Village Chief Li could understand Village Chief Ma’s anxiety, so he did not try to keep him. After seeing the ox cart going away, he turned around and went back to the fields.

It's no wonder that with the catching net given by Yue, he didn't have to bend down to catch locusts yesterday and his speed was much faster.

Ma Wei took the village chief back to Lianhua Village without any hesitation.

Village chief Ma struck the gong in his home. When the villagers heard the sound of the gong, they all guessed what had happened, so the village chief called everyone together.

Although no one knew what was going on, they subconsciously walked towards the village threshing ground.

Some people who were working in the fields could not hear the sound of the gong, so some went to the fields to shout. It took about half an hour, and all the villagers in Lianhua Village were standing on the threshing ground.

Village chief Ma stood on the platform, watching the villagers whispering to each other. His mouth was grinning with joy, and he felt excited when he thought about what he was going to say to everyone next.

The village chief asked if everyone was present.

Ma Wei stood nearby and said, "Oh, they are all here, all of them are here."

"Cough cough."

Village chief Ma coughed a few times and told the story of the locust collection in Xinghua Village. Suddenly, the whole threshing ground erupted in screams and laughter.

Afterwards, Village Chief Ma watched helplessly as all the villagers ran away.

Soon, there were many people in the fields of Lianhua Village, and everyone was bending down to catch locusts.

While the Lotus Village was frantically catching locusts, the girls from Shitou Village, Guihua Village and Zhoujia Village who had married into Xinghua Village all returned to their parents' homes and told them about the locust collection in Xinghua Village.

The three villages also went crazy and learned from the villagers of Xinghua Village and Lianhua Village to catch locusts.

However, there are also villages that look down on catching locusts, such as Zhulin Village, which has a population of more than 2000.

They have always claimed to be a big village and have a sense of superiority over other villages. How could they do something as shameful as catching locusts?

However, later, the locusts really broke out, and there was not a single grain of food in the fields of Zhulin Village. With nothing to eat, they wanted to come to Xinghua Village to rob. As a result, they were severely beaten by Li Mengyue, and had no choice but to merge into Xinghua Village.

The village chief's wife and five other women were busy at the Li family's house. Their backs and waists ached at the end of the day, but the six of them all ignored their physical fatigue.

Because when they received the copper coins from Li, they would feel a sense of pride in their hearts, realizing that they could also earn money to support their families like men.

Li Mengyue still went to the town to set up a stall selling fried locusts. For some reason, when she arrived in the town today, she saw from afar the place where she had set up the stall yesterday, and there was a long queue.

Only when I got closer to the crowd did I hear what the people in the queue were saying, such as this miracle doctor from the Miracle Doctor Valley, and that their bodies got better after eating fried locusts.

"My child ate fried locusts yesterday and his appetite improved. He used to dislike the food that his mother spent a lot of effort to prepare, but now he can eat a big bowl of it."

"It's the same in my family. My old lady has been in poor health since the beginning of the year. The doctor said it would be difficult for her to survive this year."

"But I brought the locusts home. I originally wanted to feed them to my child, but my mother insisted on eating them because of the fragrance. The doctor told her that she could only eat light food. I couldn't bear to refuse her, so I let her eat some. Unexpectedly, she vomited blood after eating. I was so scared that I called the doctor immediately."

"The doctor said that my pulse was dying before, but now I have a little vitality. If I take good care of myself, I will have no problem living for another two or three years."

"The doctor was also puzzled. What kind of magic medicine did I give my mother? With our family's financial situation, how could we afford to buy precious herbs like ginseng and ganoderma for my mother? Isn't it just half a pound of locusts? As soon as the sun rose, I hurried to line up. I want to buy five pounds today."

The people who were queuing with me, after listening to what the tall and thin man said, were surprised at how fried locusts could cure diseases. At the same time, they also confirmed that they had eaten fried locusts. It also made sense that I didn't feel tired after carrying sacks all day.

He originally bought half a catty yesterday and was planning to buy a catty today, but now he thinks that two catties are a bit too little, so he decided to buy three catties.

After hearing everyone's discussion, Li Mengyue realized where the problem lay.

It turned out that he was afraid that the fried locusts would taste bad and would not attract people to buy them, so he added a lot of spiritual spring water to the water used to wash the locusts. Spiritual spring water has the effect of strengthening the body, so people thought that locusts had the effect of curing diseases.

Some people are willing to spend money to buy it, while some people don't mind and think that instead of spending five cents to buy a pound, it is better to catch them from the fields and fry them at home, which would save a lot of money.

There are many people who have this idea, but what they don’t know is that the locusts they make, without the blessing of spiritual spring water, even if they taste good, the effect cannot be comparable to those sold by Li Mengyue.
