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

When Yunxi woke up, it was already noon and Xi had gone home to make lunch.

Seeing her get up, Xi asked mysteriously, "My girl, did you go to learn skills from the immortal Taoist priest again last night?"

She and Yun Huaiyuan both thought that their daughter couldn't get up because she didn't get enough rest after learning skills last night.

Yun Xi smiled and did not deny it. She even made a gesture to keep quiet, "Shh, mother, we can't tell anyone about this. We just need to keep it a secret. Otherwise, if the gods blame us, our family will be finished." Xi covered her mouth and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I won't tell anyone. That's right, I can't tell anyone."

Then he urged her to wash up quickly so that she could eat.

After dinner, Yun Huaiyuan and Xi went to the fields to harvest food. After one morning, they had almost harvested all the ripe vegetables, fruits and melons in the vegetable garden, so they prepared to go to the fields to harvest some food first.

Yun Xi wanted to follow, but the two men refused and she didn't force them.

As soon as the two of them left, Yun Xi went to the vegetable garden. Now all that was left were some unripe vegetables and fruits, and she wanted to take the opportunity to water the space well again.

I watered them today, and those that are not yet ripe will probably be mostly ripe by tomorrow.

Looking at the vegetables in the vegetable garden, I sighed in my heart that there were really few varieties of vegetables in ancient times.

There were no green beans or tomatoes, which she liked.

In addition, high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are also not available.

If we had these crops, people's lives would definitely be better.

Although their family lived a good life, it was because his father was a hunter, so they lived a little better than others. Later, she traveled through time and secretly earned money with her family, and they really had no worries about food and drink.

But all other families had to tighten their belts to survive. The harvests in the past two years were not good, but they were not bad either. After each household collected the grain and paid the taxes, there was not enough left for the family to eat. Usually, they had to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and fruits.

Yun Xi was thinking about these things intermittently, and soon watered the vegetable garden with the space well water.

After a round, I didn't feel tired, but it was very hot.

Yun Xi didn't know how her parents could endure working in the fields.

After returning home, he washed a basket of cucumbers and carried half a bucket of well water to the field to quench the thirst of his parents, grandfather, uncle and younger uncle.

However, when she arrived at the field, she saw many villagers gathered in their fields.

She thought something had happened again, but it turned out that the crops in their house seemed to be almost ripe, and everyone came to take a look out of curiosity when they heard about it.

Some people also asked Yun Huaiyuan and Xi how they took care of their crops, hoping to learn from their experience.

But what different experiences could they have? They are just like everyone else and can’t really explain anything.

Many villagers felt that they were keeping it to themselves and did not want to share their experience with others.

The words became sarcastic, and Xi was so angry that she almost burst into a curse.

"Mom and Dad, come here and rest for a while." Yun Xi shouted towards the field.

When Xi, who was about to curse, saw her daughter coming, she immediately put on a smile, put down her work and walked over with Yun Huaiyuan.

"Oh, my girl, why are you here in such hot weather?"

Yun Xi said, "I brought cucumbers and water. You should drink some water and eat a cucumber before continuing."

Xi and Yun Huaiyuan grinned and said happily, "Okay, okay, daughters are still the best and filial."

The people around them curled their lips in disapproval, thinking that the two of them were stupid for treating a girl whose engagement had broken off as a treasure, and that they would definitely regret it in the future.

After they finished eating the cucumbers and drinking the water, Yun Xi picked up the basket and bucket and went to the farmland of the Yun family's first and fourth branches not far away.

The two families were naturally very grateful to Yun Xi.

evening.

Yun Yan came back driving a bullock cart, bringing with him five or six strong men, all from the restaurant, three thugs and three waiters.

When the villagers asked about it, they just said that he was a temporary employee in the town.

Everyone started talking again.

"The Yun family really don't know how to live. They just received more than 100 taels of silver from the Zhao family, and they think they are landlords. They even hired people to collect grain. They really have too much money to burn."

"Who said it wasn't true? They spent money to hire people from the town, but they didn't even bother to hire people from the village. They really don't take the villagers seriously."

Yun Xi really admires these gossipy people. They don’t think about their own business all day long, but always gossip about other people’s affairs.

I really don't know what they are thinking. The weather is obviously dry this year and the government has notified people to be careful of locust plagues, but these people are not worried about the food in the fields at all and even have the leisure to chat about gossip here.

If there is a locust plague and there is no harvest, how will they survive? They will have no place to cry.

But soon, these people no longer had time to keep an eye on their house.

Because some villagers also found locusts in the fields.

Yunxi also ran to see. There were not many of them, only about seven or eight.

But when she saw seven or eight locusts gathered together, her heart skipped a beat.

I'm afraid a locust plague is really going to happen.

As long as four or five locusts gather together, they can produce a pheromone, which can cause more locusts to gather, thus forming a locust plague.

After seeing the villagers kill the locusts, Yun Xi didn't bother to listen to what they were chattering about and hurried back to ask her parents to harvest the food overnight.

"Dad, go tell Grandpa, Uncle, and Uncle that the locusts are really coming. Let's work hard tonight."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Go and tell the head of the village to try to get the villagers to start harvesting food in the evening."

Although many villagers are annoying in their words, they still need to be open-minded when it comes to such major issues.

It’s up to them whether to listen or not, but they still need to be reminded.

There are so many people in the village, and not all of them are so vicious. If there is really no harvest, many people will probably starve to death.

If at that time only these few families have some food and other families have none, it is impossible for the whole village to just stand by and watch them die.

If that really happened, the food in the house would not be able to be preserved and would definitely be snatched away.

Seeing her so serious, Yun Huaiyuan knew that this matter could not be taken lightly, so he quickly asked Yun Yan to take the six people to work in the fields, and Xi went to inform the first and fourth wives. He himself went to find the Yun clan leader and Wang Fugui.

He also visited some of the families he was on good terms with personally.

In the end, quite a few people listened to his advice. In fact, everyone was hesitant after seeing the locusts with their own eyes, but with this person adding fuel to the fire and persuading them, their thoughts turned into actions.

At night, the adults and children of these families did not rest. The children helped to hold torches for lighting, and the adults worked hard to harvest. Most of the people in the village were busy and happy.

Yun Xi also helped to hold the torch. The heat from the torch made her sweat layer after layer, and her hair at the temples was soaked.

The firelight made her face red and embarrassed. But she didn't care about that. She held the torch high so that the rice cutters could see more clearly. But she didn't dare to get too close, for fear that sparks would fall into the rice and cause a fire.

Wang Daya, no, it should be Wang Yuyan, who was not far away, stared at the person in the firelight for a long time before turning around and slowly leaving.
