As for Lingquan Herbal Tea, she also believes that any villager who has tasted it can personally experience how magical it is.

However, Li Mengyue was very satisfied with everyone's actions.

Even if some people had doubts, they didn't speak them out loud, and they all kept them deep in their hearts.

Speaking of this matter, Li Mengyue really misunderstood. No one said anything and no one asked about it there.

Instead, the village chief finished drinking the herbal tea, his body clearly tired just a moment ago.

After drinking it, it feels like taking a panacea and I feel full of energy.

He knew that the herbal tea that Li Mengyue asked everyone to drink was not simple, so he immediately asked his eldest son to tell the villagers.

Li Mengyue understood that harvesting rice was not easy for everyone, so she took out precious medicinal herbs and boiled them into herbal tea for everyone to drink.

After hearing this, no one in the village doubted what kind of medicinal herb could have such miraculous effects.

On the contrary, everyone believed that Li Mengyue was selfless and willing to give out valuable medicinal herbs. If they continued to doubt Li Mengyue, wouldn’t that mean their consciences had been eaten by dogs?

Li Mengyue would never have thought that it was this small misunderstanding that not only did no one ask about Lingquan herbal tea, but also made the villagers more convinced of her.

When everyone went to Li's house to drink Lingquan herbal tea and enthusiastically discussed how to catch more locusts, the old man in the Li family was dumbfounded.

The moment Old Man Li heard the buzzing sound and learned that the locusts had appeared, cold sweat broke out on his back.

He lost all strength and fell to the ground, mumbling, "It's over, it's over."

"Ah! Locusts, don't bite me, old man. There is a real locust plague and the crops in the fields have not been harvested yet."

Old man Li, who was in a daze, was startled when he heard about food.

"Boss, hurry up and go to the fields to harvest the crops. There is a locust plague coming."

Li Hai had already gone to the field with a sickle.

"Old man, what should we do? There is not much food left at home, and we all depend on the rice in the fields."

When Old Man Li heard that there was no food, he raised his hand and slapped the man.

"Snapped!"

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't made such a fuss, the second brother would have helped us and we would have definitely collected everything."

"Li Gui, you dare to hit me. If you hadn't hinted at me, I wouldn't have done that."

So in the yard where locusts were flying everywhere, Old Man Li and Old Lady Li started fighting.

However, men are naturally stronger than women, and the result of the fight was obvious: Old Mrs. Li was beaten.

After the two men finished fighting, they saw more and more locusts. Some flew onto their faces and bit them, which was very painful.

"Help, help! Please come and help my family harvest the rice."

Old Mrs. Li thought about her own fields, but she didn't harvest anything, so she no longer cared about Old Man Li beating her.

He crawled and ran to where there were many people, wanting everyone to help him harvest the rice.

The village was in turmoil for a whole day and night yesterday. Everyone in the village was harvesting rice, except for the Li family's old house, which was left untouched.

And when she returned home yesterday, she smelled the strong fragrance of rice in the air, and she cursed and complained about the noise, and her brain was filled with water.

Only now did she realize how wrong she was, if she hadn't seen the second one.

She asked the second son to move the family's food to the old house. If he disagreed, she would not be so angry that she lost her mind and called Li Mengyue a little bitch.

As a result, the second son returned home and did not help with the rice harvest.

But she also knew that the most important reason was that she and the old man didn't want to accept it.

Otherwise, even if the second brother is not there, the eldest brother can still collect a lot by himself.

But it was too late to say anything now. Old Mrs. Li turned pale with fright.

"Village chief, village chief, help me, village chief, please save my family as soon as possible, save my family's food!"

The moment Old Lady Li went out, Old Man Li also got up and followed her.

When he saw the village chief, old man Li burst into tears.

The village chief and some villagers knelt down in front of the village chief when they saw the couple who had been sarcastic about the grain collection yesterday.

Village Chief Li can't do anything about Old Lady Li, but that doesn't mean he will let Old Man Li go.

"What did you do last night?"

When Old Man Li heard the question from the village chief, he was too embarrassed to say that he didn't want to harvest, so he indulged his wife to make trouble and made the second son angry and leave. Then he went home to sleep.

But what Old Man Li didn’t expect was that just because he didn’t say it didn’t mean that others wouldn’t say it.

"Village head, I know Uncle Li Gui went to the fields, but he returned home not long after."

Then another person spoke up, "Maybe there's something urgent, otherwise they wouldn't leave the rice unharvested."

"Yes, yes, village chief, my family had an emergency, so I came home."

The village chief gritted his teeth in hatred for a moment.

"It's an emergency. I think the emergency is fake, and the real reason is that I want to sleep."

Old man Li lowered his head in shame, too embarrassed to look at the village chief.

Old Mrs. Li didn't care about that. Her family's rice had not been harvested, and once the locusts arrived in large numbers, it would be too late to harvest it.

I want to ask the village chief to send people to help get them back while there is still time.

"Village chief, stop talking about these useless things, and get people to help harvest the rice!"

"That's easy to say. We didn't dare to rest for a moment yesterday. We were so tired that our calves were cramping. But you guys slept all night and now you're complaining that it was useless."

"Zhou Zhaodi, shut up."

Old man Li knew he was in the wrong and couldn't even raise his head when facing the village chief and villagers.

He thought that as long as the village chief asked people to help collect the things, it wouldn't matter if he got some criticism from others.

As a result, when the village chief was about to give in, his own wife came to hold him back.

He suddenly began to doubt how could he have been so blind to marry Zhou Zhaodi, such a troublemaker.

Otherwise, the second son would not have split up the family business. He also has a capable granddaughter who eats well and dresses well every day and does not have to worry about work in the fields.

And it won't be long before he can live in a bright new house and enjoy the envious gazes of the villagers.

He also saw clearly that Li Mengyue's current status in the village was slightly higher than that of the village chief.

The key point is that the village chief doesn’t mind. He even feels like he is deliberately building up momentum for Li Mengyue.

If the family had not split up, with Li Mengyue at home, he could still live a good life.

But all of this was messed up by Zhou Zhaodi. If she hadn't offended Li Mengyue so badly, nothing like this would have happened today.

Without him saying anything, the eldest and second sons would harvest the rice, and he wouldn't have to kneel here and beg.

But even so, Zhou Zhaodi still couldn't see the situation clearly and wanted to use her shrewish way to force the village chief to compromise. How was this possible?

As expected, the village chief said in a sarcastic tone, "Why? We are all tired after a day and a night, and we all want to go back and rest, but we are also worried that the locusts will breed too much, so we are all trying to catch them. Why can't you two old people go to the fields, and you still need everyone's help?"

"Village Chief, my land..."

Old man Li knew the situation in the village, but he just didn't want to go to the fields. He hadn't done farm work for many years.

The most important point is that their family owns 17 acres of land.

Normally, he would think that the land at home was too little and would think about saving money to buy a few more acres.

When he thought of the seventeen acres of land, his head became dizzy and he didn't know how to finish the work.

He also particularly regretted giving the family's three acres of dry land to his second son.
