This is because she found that during this period, even though the villagers had made a lot of money, they still habitually saved the money or bought grains to eat, and did not dare to eat meat.

So when these wild boars came over, she had this idea, to share the food with everyone so that the villagers could satisfy their cravings, but she didn't want to do good things with ulterior motives.

Besides, there was so much wild boar meat that her family certainly couldn't finish it all. If she shared it with the villagers, she would be grateful and lay the foundation for what she would do next.

After all, she will live in the village for the next one or two years or even longer, so it is necessary to build good infrastructure in the village.

However, these huge projects cannot be accomplished by her alone or the people of Xinghua Village. Instead, it requires the strength of the entire town or more people to achieve the results she wants.

Before doing these things, of course, you have to make the villagers have a good impression of you, so that things can go more smoothly.

Of course, she reminded the villagers that if someone didn't listen, she would have no choice. Only after they got an upset stomach would they know whether it was worth it.

That night, not only in Xinghua Village, but also in six other villages, including Hua Village, Taohua Village, Shitou Village, and Guihua Village, every household ate meat.

The next morning, before dawn, Village Chief Li and his men were waiting at the door of the Li family's house.

And this time, in addition to the people from Xinghua Village, there were also village chiefs and villagers from six other villages.

"Village Chief Ma, what are you doing?"

"Old Li, this is really unfair of you. You didn't ask us to come with you when you went up the mountain to find water, but now that you've found a water source, how can you exclude us from the water diversion? Are you afraid that we will use the water?"

"Village Chief Ma, this is unfair to me. I am just worried that you are unwilling to go."

"Who says we don't want to go? We in Taohua Village also sell locusts to the Li family. Of course we have to follow Miss Li's footsteps closely." Village Chief Wang said with a smile.

"Our village is the same. Since we are all selling locusts together, how can we leave our Shitou Village behind when we go up the mountain to draw water?"

Then, Village Chief Sun of Guihua Village, Village Chief Zheng of Meihua Village and Village Chief Zhou of Zhoujia Village all expressed their willingness to go up the mountain to divert water.

Because they all discovered that Li Mengyue was a very capable person, and as village heads, they always wanted to ensure that the villagers had enough food and clothing.

But their abilities are limited and they really can't do it. Now that there is someone who can provide the villagers with meat, of course they must hold on to him.

Another point is that the six village chiefs together are hundreds of years old and are not the kind of people who would make such a decision casually.

It was because Li Mengyue and her men caught so many wild boars from the mountains yesterday, and they actually divided them equally among their village.

You have to know that each village only sent thirty people up the mountain to help, and they didn't go far before they ran into Li Mengyue and others, and they basically couldn't help much.

But what did Li Mengyue do? She used the excuse that someone in their village helped, and like the villagers in Xinghua Village, every household received two kilograms of pork.

Li Mengyue's action scared these old guys. Most people don't have the courage to divide dozens of wild boars just like that.

Even if Li Mengyue was a woman, they would still want to follow her.

For example, when they went up the mountain to divert water this time, they specifically asked Village Chief Li yesterday, and he said that the bamboo had been prepared and they were just waiting for Li Mengyue to tell them what to do.

Knowing what to do next, they will of course be more proactive; otherwise, when the water is diverted, they will be embarrassed to ask for use.

"Squeak!"

The door of the Li family opened, and Li Mengyue saw the seven village heads and raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the pork distributed yesterday was not in vain.

Now that everyone is in place, it’s time to tell them what you want to do next in advance so that everyone can be prepared.

"Grandpa, the village chief, bring bamboo up the mountain today. If everything goes well, we can bring water down. People who stay in the village, dig ditches from their own fields all the way to the river."

"Don't worry, Yue girl. Those who didn't go up the mountain should all go to dig ditches in the fields, and the children can continue to catch locusts."

"Ah."

Then he looked at the six village chiefs.

When the six village heads saw Li Mengyue turning her gaze towards them, they became extremely nervous.

Even though they have the final say in the village, somehow, when they are in front of Li Mengyue, they can't help but feel respect for her.

"Village leaders, if you want to use water, you must follow the instructions when you go up the mountain. If anyone takes the initiative, they will be responsible for any problems that arise."

"Miss Li, this is natural. Don't worry, the people in our Lotus Village are very honest and will not do anything rash." Village Chief Ma said quickly.

"It's the same in Taohua Village."

"Stone Village too."

"And our Osmanthus Village."

Then the village chiefs of Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village expressed their attitudes.

Li Mengyue didn't expect everyone to be so cooperative, and she gained great confidence in the big project that was about to begin.

"Grandpa Village Chief, before we go up the mountain, I have something I want to explain to everyone. After I'm done, if there are any villages that don't want to participate in the water diversion, I won't force them."

When Village Chief Li heard this, he immediately became serious. He knew that what Meng Yue said must be a big deal, and it must be related to the seven villages.

"Village Chief Ma, Village Chief Wang, Village Chief Ji, Village Chief Sun, Village Chief Zheng, Village Chief Zhou, what do you think?"

"No matter what Miss Li says, our village will follow her up the mountain," said Village Chief Ma.

Li Mengyue didn't say anything, but asked the seven village heads to come to her house for a talk, and asked her mother to prepare more food.

After everyone sat down, Village Chief Li spoke.

"Girl Yue, if you have anything to say, just tell me. The village chief will definitely support you."

"Grandpa Village Chief, thank you for your protection, but what I am about to say is quite important, so you should wait until I finish speaking before making a decision."

"I believe everyone knows that ordinary people rely on the weather for their livelihood every year. Once a drought occurs like this year, there may be a locust plague, water shortage, and crop failure, making the already difficult life even more difficult."

After Li Mengyue said this, the expressions of all the village heads present became increasingly ugly.

"But it is not impossible to completely get rid of the reliance on luck for food."

"What? Girl Yue, do you have a solution?" Village Chief Zhou stood up suddenly and asked excitedly.

"Village Chief Zhou, don't be so excited. Listen to what Yue girl has to say first." Village Chief Li spoke at the right time.

Village chief Zhou knew that it was impolite to interrupt others rashly, but what Li Mengyue said made him unable to remain calm.

After all, he has been farming all his life and has always lived like this. But now someone tells him that no matter drought or flood, the crops can be guaranteed not to fail. How can he sit still?

Seeing that the other village chiefs were similar to himself, Village Chief Zhou slowly sat down.

Village chief Zheng of Meihua Village was also very excited, but he knew that this was at Miss Li's home, so he knew how to restrain himself.
