Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Apart from the chirping of cicadas, there was no croaking of frogs in the field.

Yun Xi didn’t pay attention to it before, but today when she heard that there might be a locust plague, she realized this problem.

It seems that a locust plague is really possible.

In her previous life, when she was a child living in the countryside, many people liked to go to the fields to catch frogs to eat, but the elders in the village did not allow it, saying that without frogs, locust plagues would easily occur.

Indeed.

Frogs are the natural enemies of locusts. If there are fewer frogs, the number of locusts will increase.

Yun Xi thought that the fact that the government issued a notice to harvest crops early due to concerns about locust plagues showed that they cared a lot about farming.

No, it should be said that King Nan is quite concerned about farming.

The entire Jiaozhou is the fiefdom of the King of Nan. If the government could issue such a notice, it must be an order from the King of Nan.

It seems that the King of the South is actually a good prince who truly serves the people.

Our little prince doesn’t know yet that Miss Yunxi actually has such a high opinion of him. If he knew, he would definitely be overjoyed.

At this time, he was accompanied by a group of guards and the farmers on the farm, busy harvesting crops in the fields.

Food is the most important thing for people. The King of the South knew very well how important grain was to him and the people. When he learned that there was a possibility of a locust plague, he did not dare to delay and immediately gathered people to collect grain without stopping.

The next day, Yunxi slept until noon before waking up slowly.

I was busy too late last night, and when I quietly returned to bed it was already Yin time.

In the morning, the Yun family saw that she was sleeping very soundly and did not wake her up.

Yun Huaiyuan, Xi and Yun Yan went to the vegetable garden early in the morning and picked several baskets of vegetables for Yun Yan to take to the restaurant.

After Yun Yan left, the couple continued to work in the vegetable garden.

Those in the village who decided to harvest their crops early have already started harvesting, but not many have done so.

In addition to the two families of the brothers Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian, the other families who collected grain in advance were also members of the Yun clan.

Most other families were just waiting and watching, including the village head Wang Fugui and his family.

The villagers were all walking around the fields, looking worriedly at their own crops that had not yet matured.

Looking at the Yun family's fields, the crops were about 70% to 80% ripe. I was so envious.

There were some people who were feeling sour and said sarcastically that they were wasting food. They harvested such good crops early and they didn't know how much food would be lost. It was such a pity.

"The person who wasted the food will not have a good death. He will be struck by lightning."

The person who said this was a member of the Zhao clan, actually a cousin of Zhao Junyi.

Li, who usually did not work in the fields, also went to work today. When she heard these vicious words, she almost jumped up and fought with her.

It was only when he saw that the other party was too dirty that he gave up the idea of ​​fighting.

However, she was merciless in her words, "Oh, you are dissatisfied with the government. The notice to collect grain in advance was posted by the county government. But you said that it was a waste of grain and you will be struck by lightning. You are cursing the officials."

The Zhao family woman shrank back in fear and hastily denied it, "You're talking nonsense. How could I curse the official?"

Li sneered, "Tsk, you know whether I am talking nonsense or not. Everyone was listening to what you said just now. You were saying that the government's order to collect grain in advance is a waste of grain and they should be struck by lightning."

The Zhao family woman was angry and scared. She clearly didn't mean that. How could she dare to curse the government? She cursed the Yun family.

But if you really look into it, it's reasonable to say that she was cursing the government.

She didn't dare to say anything else, and only left one sentence, "You heard it wrong, I didn't say such a thing."

Then he left in a hurry.

Not long after she left, a group of women started gossiping again.

"Why didn't the second Yun family come to the fields to harvest the crops? Both the first and fourth Yun families came."

Someone replied, "I just saw Yun Lao Er and his wife harvesting vegetables in the vegetable field. As for their boy Yun Yan and girl Yun Xi, I didn't see them."

"Yun Yan is not at home. I saw him driving a ox cart to the city this morning." said a villager.

Immediately, some people started to sneer, "That Yunxi is really a lazy girl, hiding at home and not working, she deserves the Zhao family's boy to cancel the engagement."

"That's right. Even her aunt and Yun Qiao'er have gone to the fields to harvest food, but she is just sitting there doing nothing."

"Alas, this girl's engagement was broken off, and she's so lazy, who would dare to marry her in the future? I'm afraid she won't be able to get married, so pitiful!"

A few gossiping old women said that it was pitiful, but their tone could not hide their gloating.

The first and fourth wives of the Yun family listened to their discussions, and their faces were all gloomy. Yun Huaiyuan and Yun Huaian wanted to say something, but they were grown men after all, and it was not easy for them to quarrel with these gossipy women in the village.

Lin wanted to say something back, but she also felt that these women were right. It was already this late and Yun Xi didn't come out to work. She was really lazy.

Since the engagement was broken off and she is lazy, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future.

She stammered a few times, but in the end said nothing and just focused on collecting food.

Li, on the other hand, put her hands on her hips and pointed at the old women and started to curse them. "You are a bunch of gossipy women with foul and poisonous mouths. When it comes to laziness, who can be lazier than you? Our Xi Jie is very busy doing housework at home. She is very diligent. Who is like you lazy women? You have nothing to do all day long. You don't harvest the crops in the fields, do not do the housework, and do not take care of yourself. Each of you is dirtier than the cows of our eldest brother and sister-in-law. You still have the nerve to gossip about other people's affairs. You have such poisonous mouths. Be careful not to get sores and pus."

"you you you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Did I say something wrong? Have you harvested the crops? No. Have you finished the housework? No. Take a good look at yourselves, aren't you dirtier than a cow? I can smell a weird odor from a distance, stinkier than a cow. How dare you stand here and gossip? Bah, get out of here, get out of here, you're making me sick."

She spoke very quickly, her mouth like a machine gun, barging and blasting, making the women's faces turn red.

"Humph, you are the one who stinks. You smell like coquettish things all day long. I don't even know who you are showing it to."

A woman glared at Li and walked away cursing. She didn't dare to say this too loudly, fearing that Li would really get angry with her.

Everyone knew that Li was not a woman who dressed ostentatiously. At most, she kept herself very clean and wore coarse linen clothes, which were very simple.

This woman was just talking nonsense, so she didn't dare speak too loudly for Li to hear.

As soon as the woman left, the others also left one after another.

Yun Huaian gave his wife a thumbs up, and Yun Qiaoer also praised his mother for being so great.

Old Man Yun stroked his little mustache and nodded admiringly to his younger daughter-in-law. Then he glanced at his older daughter-in-law who was working hard, shook his head and sighed softly.

This eldest daughter-in-law is sometimes really... Oh, forget it, I don't expect anything from her.
