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

But he knew very well that the villagers listened to him because he had the ability to feed them.

It can be said that since he took over as village chief, the villagers of Zhulin Village have not been eating well, but they are not hungry.

But he couldn't guarantee it this year. When the locust plague came, the crops in the fields seemed to have been blown away. Not to mention food, not even a leaf could be found.

Now he regretted very much that he had not listened to what the informant who came to the village said.

They said a locust plague was coming and asked everyone to harvest in advance.

When he heard this, his first reaction was that someone had nothing to do after eating and was making up rumors. This kind of person must be arrested by the government. Not to mention imprisonment, he would definitely be given dozens of lashes.

Of course, he didn't take it seriously, and the villagers just treated it as a joke and didn't take it to heart at all. They just did what they had to do.

What he and the villagers did not expect was that a locust plague really came soon after.

At this time, the villagers regretted their decision and went to the fields with tools to harvest. However, the locusts were too fast. As soon as they harvested the crops, large tracts of crops were eaten by the locusts.

The rice that the villagers had just harvested became food for the locusts before they could get it home.

The key villagers watched helplessly as the fruits of their hard work for several months were destroyed in an instant without leaving even a trace. They could not bear it any more, so they fought desperately to kill the locusts and seek revenge on them.

But the locusts in a locust plague are not so easy to deal with. If it were under normal circumstances, you could catch them however you wanted.

However, the locusts were so overwhelming that it was beyond human control to deal with them, and many people in the village were injured while trying to catch locusts.

This brought a heavy burden to the family, which was already not wealthy.

Because there were so many injured people, even if he wanted to help, he didn't dare to step forward.

Although his family lived the best in the village and had saved the most money, those money were all theirs and he couldn't just give them out to help the villagers.

As a result, the injured villagers, instigated by someone, all came to his doorstep and begged him for help.

He is just the village chief, not a doctor, how can he save lives?

At this time, a villager asked to borrow money. How could this be possible? His family's money did not come from the wind, so how could he lend it out casually?

What's more, they are a bunch of low-class people who can't even afford a little money. How can they possibly pay him back? What can they use to pay him back?

But these were all his thoughts in his heart, and he could never say them out loud. Not only could he not say them out loud, he also had to appease them well, otherwise where would he find so many obedient people to satisfy his "addiction to being an official".

Seeing that more and more people were kneeling at his doorstep, he had no choice but to compromise and asked his son to go to town to get some medicine for the wounds.

A large pot was set up in the village threshing ground to boil medicine. Since everyone was bitten by locusts, they had to drink the same medicine.

He didn't care whether drinking it helped or not. Anyway, he had used the money to buy medicine and could shut the villagers up.

What he didn't expect was that just when he had solved the problem of villagers bitten by locusts, there was another food crisis.

If this had happened in previous years, even if the harvest was not very good, he could still eat half full. And since he could bring others to rob a few pieces of land, he would not have to worry about going hungry.

But when the locust plague came, all the food in the fields was eaten by the locusts. It was not something that could be solved by just grabbing a few pieces of food.

Besides, he obviously feels that he is getting older this year and his health is not as good as before, so he can no longer go to faraway places to steal things like in previous years.

However, the current situation in the village is not optimistic. If he still wants to have absolute authority in the village, he must find a way to get enough food before winter comes.

After all, once winter comes and it snows heavily, it’s hard to go out.

But now every household doesn’t have much food, and it won’t be long before someone will go hungry.

The reason why he has been able to sit firmly in the position of village chief for so many years is because he can ensure that the villagers have enough food.

If this cannot be done, someone will definitely oust him.

Considering what he has done in the village, I believe he will not have a good ending, and his family will also be implicated.

However, just when he was worried about the food issue, his grandson Zhu Sijin brought someone home.

He didn't know who the other person was, he only knew that his grandson, who had always been fearless, bowed his head in front of the man.

Although the other party looked plain, he showed a strong aura that made him dare not underestimate him.

Although he is only the village chief, Zhulin Village is a large village with two thousand people. It is already very impressive that he can have the final say in the village.

But someone more powerful than him came home, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

But he soon figured it out and realized that this was exactly what he wanted.

You know, he was worried about finding someone to rely on, and then God sent him one.

Because he knew that no matter who the man was, he was better than him, a mere village chief.

If I could curry favor with him, why would I have to worry about having no future?

"Si Jin, who is this?"

"Grandpa, this is Master Liu."

Zhu Lei felt uncomfortable seeing his grandson's fawning look, but he said nothing. He just nodded and sat down at the lower table.

There was no way he didn't sit down, since Liu Quan sat directly in the main seat as soon as he entered the house.

Without knowing Mr. Liu's background, Zhu Lei did not dare to act rashly, for fear of offending the wrong people at home.

"Village Chief Zhu, Si Jin and I have a connection. Si Jin is a very good person. He is not only smart and courageous, but also handsome, courageous and resourceful, mature and steady, and he also has a sense of loyalty. I am happy to know Si Jin. In order to complete the connection between me and Si Jin, I decided to give your family a great opportunity."

Zhu Lei, who was sitting at the bottom, listened to Grandpa Liu praising his grandson with his mouth wide open in disbelief.

Who can tell him how Master Liu can tell that his grandson Zhu Sijin is smart, brave and resourceful when he is a scoundrel?

Besides, his grandson looks so ugly, how can he be handsome? Could it be that Master Liu is blind? Even if he is just trying to flatter someone, he can't fool him like this!

Although Zhu Lei was grumbling in his heart, he didn't think that his grandson Zhu Sijin was that good.

To be honest, if Zhu Sijin was not his grandson, he would feel pain in his eyes even if he looked at him.

But no matter whether he admits it or not, Zhu Sijin is his grandson. Even if he despises him, he cannot do so in front of outsiders.

So Zhu Lei continued speaking along the lines of Liu Quan's words.

"Master Liu, you have the foresight to see how promising Si Jin is. And the fact that Si Jin knows you, that shows something. Master Liu, you are the same."

Zhu Lei gave Liu Quan a thumbs up, but couldn't bring himself to say any words of praise.

As for Liu Quan, facing Zhu Lei's praise, he was not happy at all. On the contrary, he felt that Zhu Lei was scolding him.

Although other people are blind and cannot see what he looks like, he himself knows it well. He can't be called handsome, at most he is a little cool.
