Li Mengyue nodded. It was not that she was anxious, but that time was running out.

You have to know that there are so many insect eggs in the ground, and they are constantly hatching. Even if everyone in the village goes to the fields to catch them, they can't even catch a tiny bit.

What's more, the drought affects a large area, not to mention Wuning County, but also places outside the provincial capital will be affected.

As for how big the range is, she is not sure, but it is definitely not small.

In this case, every minute and every second is precious now. We must seize the tail of time and try to minimize the harm caused by the locust plague to people.

So she needed someone to help her deal with the locusts, and she wouldn't always make fried locusts herself.

She thought that frying locusts required no technical skills and she would be able to do it after watching it once. The only difficulty was buying enough cooking oil.

Without oil, no matter how good your cooking skills are, you will be helpless.

Besides, my mother’s health is not very good. Even with the help of the village head grandmother, the workload is still very heavy. It’s okay for one or two days, but if it continues for a long time, her body will definitely not be able to bear it.

The village head's wife saw that Yue was sincerely asking her to find someone, so she would do her best and would not look for someone who was dishonest or cunning.

About a quarter of an hour later, the village chief's wife led five women to the Li family.

Miss Yue, I have found the person.

From left to right are Goudan’s mother, Dazhu’s mother, Li Yan’s mother, and Beibei’s mother.

After introducing the four people, the village chief's wife paused for a moment. She knew that Yue Yatou wanted three or four people.

Not only did she find four people, but she also found one more. Lingling is really pitiful.

And Lingling is no other than my uncle’s daughter. She got married at the age of fourteen and is eighteen years old this year. In four years, she has given birth to three daughters. The eldest daughter is three years old, the second daughter is two years old, and the youngest daughter is only one year old.

She was divorced by her husband's family two months ago and returned to her parents' home with her three daughters.

After four years of hard life in her husband's family, she returned to her parents' home. Although her parents didn't say anything, her two sisters-in-law would fight and make indirect accusations at home every day.

Their house is not far from her uncle's house. Ever since Lingling brought her daughter back, she can hear noise from her uncle's house every day.

She knew without any guessing that Lingling and her three daughters were having a hard time.

Therefore, when Yue said she was looking for someone to do the job, the first person she thought of was Lingling.

But Miss Yue’s requirements were very clear: she only wanted a woman who was clean and capable.

Before Lingling got married, she did a good job at home and was recognized as a good girl in the village.

But such a good girl married the wrong person and spent several years living a life worse than death.

Fortunately, she and her daughter escaped from the fire pit.

But life back at my parents' home isn't easy either.

Although I didn't get beaten for no reason, my two sisters-in-law were not easy to deal with and I had to endure being looked down upon every day.

If Lingling wants to live a quiet life for herself and her daughter, she needs to have money. Only then can she move out of her parents' home.

It is not easy to make money. A strong man can't find a job in town, let alone a woman like Lingling who is so weak that she can't even tie a chicken.

Whenever she met Lingling's daughters, she would give them some food.

But I can’t even take care of my own family, and I can’t give too much.

Seeing that she brought five people with her, Yue girl didn't say anything, and the village chief's wife also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was very afraid that Yue Yatou would say that only four people were needed.

You have to know that the five people she brought with her are in difficult situations, so you should help them if you can.

Li Mengyue raised her eyebrows when she saw there were five people, but didn't say anything.

When Lingling saw that she could stay, tears suddenly flowed down her face. She was afraid of being seen, so she quickly lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

She really couldn't help it. From her husband's change of heart to being divorced and sent back to her parents' home, she accepted it all silently.

She didn't give birth to a son, and was scolded by her husband's family for not knowing how to raise a child. Not only did she work like a slave every day, but even her daughter suffered with her.

Originally, for the sake of her daughter, she gritted her teeth and endured any injustice, but her husband was not a human being and got a widow pregnant outside.

Some time ago, a widow went to her husband's house with a bulging belly and made a scene, demanding an explanation from her husband, and saying that she was pregnant with a son.

If they are not allowed in, they will hang themselves at the door with their children.

My parents-in-law had been wanting a grandchild for a long time, and now that someone was pregnant with their eldest grandson, they let her live in their house without saying a word.

Her and her daughter's life became more difficult than before.

Although he could still bear it before, after the widow came home, she relied on the meat in her belly and insisted on being served by him.

Serving tea and water and washing clothes were nothing, but what was too much was to make her watch her husband and the widow doing that.

The key is that my husband and parents-in-law think this is a natural thing. They say that they are not capable of giving birth to a son, but there are others who can.

What else could you be dissatisfied with? I was already very kind not to give you a letter of divorce and kick you and the three money-losing guys out.

You and your daughter should be grateful that our home allows you to stay, and that you have a shelter and food to eat.

I don’t know if it’s because I was exploited too harshly, but I seemed to have lost the ability to resist. I listened to my husband and in-laws brainwashing me with a blank face.

He let his mistress enter the house and treat him as a maid, ordering her around, and he didn't think it was a big deal, because it was his fault that he couldn't give birth to a son.

Until one day, the widow, who was pregnant, insisted on imitating the girls in the brothel and walked with her hips twisted. She thought it looked good and she was not afraid of hurting the baby in her belly.

Perhaps God couldn't bear it anymore, the widow twisted her waist, didn't look at her feet, and tripped over a small stone.

However, the widow also knew how important the child was, and she protected her belly at the critical moment to prevent anything from happening to the child.

Although she was not hurt at all, she put all the blame for the trip on her eldest daughter.

You have to know that my eldest daughter is only three years old. Such a small girl is sweeping the floor with a broom that is taller than herself.

A little kid, if she walks with a broom in her hand, will easily fall down if she is not careful. How can you expect her to sweep the floor clean? You are dreaming!

She saw that the widow took out her anger on her daughter, saying that if she had a miscarriage, her daughter would die and so on, and she even beat her daughter.

When she saw her daughter being beaten, she didn't know what had happened, and she had a big quarrel with the widow. She even held the widow's head and beat her.

Although it was satisfying to fight, it also led to greater consequences.

Even under the instigation of her parents-in-law, her husband ignored the four years of marriage and did not hesitate to find someone to write a divorce letter for her.

In this way, she and her three daughters were kicked out of the husband's family, and they had to return to her parents' home in embarrassment and seek a place to stay temporarily.

In fact, she knew very well that returning to her parents' home would definitely cause dissatisfaction among her two sisters-in-law, but she had no choice. As long as there was a second place to go, she would not come back.

Now, her aunt introduced her to work for the Li family, earning ten cents a day, so that she can save some money and let her daughter eat better, and she also hopes to do this job for a longer period of time.

Also, when she comes, as long as she can be kept, she will work hard and will never be lazy.
