Chapter 41 Digging a Trap
"Boss? You're finally back!" Meng almost cried with joy.
Village Chief Li gave her a soothing look, walked a few steps to stand beside her, and looked at Wang Pozi and her group with a somewhat dignified look, "Wang Quezi, what are you guys doing?"
Wang Quezi's eyes dodged, and he stepped back guiltily, laughing and saying, "It's nothing, it's just that a few of us decided to escape the famine, and we came here to ask for the things that should be distributed to us..."
"What should be distributed to you?" Village Chief Li frowned. "What else do you want? You're the only one going up the mountain this time. No one from the Ma or Deng families is going. And are you really going there to help with the work? I get mad just thinking about you!"
Village chief Li is not blind. In fact, because he has been the village chief for so many years, he knows how to judge everyone's contribution, so he noticed all the little actions of Wang Guizi.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang was furious. "Village Chief, don't talk nonsense! My cripple can barely walk, yet he went into the mountains with you and helped with hunting. Not to mention, he even ran back early to report the news and call for help. Isn't that considered a contribution?"
"What? You call this a merit?" Village Chief Li was furious. "Ask your man what he did in the mountains!!"
Mrs. Wang was no fool. When she heard this, she knew that Wang Quezi was definitely not telling the truth. However, she was unreasonable to begin with, so why would she care about such things? She immediately said, "I don't care. I only know that my boss went into the mountains with you, and you said that you could get a whole sheep!"
"What I'm saying is that I'll give a whole sheep to those who perform outstandingly and make great contributions! But I'm not saying that I'll give a share to those who are sneaky and hide behind and refuse to help when there's danger!" Village chief Li rubbed his temples and told himself desperately that he couldn't argue with such a unreasonable person.
Old Lady Wang wanted to sit down on the ground again and start throwing a tantrum, but Wang Quezi, who had deeply felt the ruthlessness of Village Chief Li and his men during this trip to the mountains, quickly grabbed her and said, "I misheard what the Village Chief said. Let's go home quickly. We have to go out tomorrow..."
He ignored Wang Po's struggles and beatings and dragged her away.
Seeing that they could not gain any benefits, the other two families also left in shame.
Village Chief Li turned around and said to Mrs. Meng, "Hurry up and take the kitchen knives and other things from home to Old Meng. We hunted two wild boars, three wolves, and two hyenas in the mountains this time. If we don't take care of them, they will go bad..."
Mrs. Meng was puzzled when she heard this and asked, "Why do we have to go to Old Meng to deal with it? Don't we need to call everyone to come together?"
"No need," Village Chief Li laughed heartily, "This is what we got among the dozen or so people, so it's divided among the seven or eight families."
This batch of prey cannot be considered as the village's. After all, no one else contributed, so it naturally does not need to be divided among the whole village.
"Really?" Meng was immediately excited. "That's great!"
Wolves and hyenas don't weigh much, but wild boar meat is plentiful! If only seven or eight families share, his family will definitely get hundreds of kilograms, right?
Ouch, there's so much meat all of a sudden, I don't even know if the salt at home is enough...
While thinking about this, Meng packed up her things and ran to Meng Tianze's house. After asking around at home, Village Chief Li followed her.
On this side, Jiang Qinyu came down from the mountain. She was so tired that she didn't want to do anything, but the prey did need to be processed. She had to force herself to be energetic. After going back to see Shu Fan and Pan'er, she immediately brought salt to Meng Tianze's house.
Salt was a strategic material in this era, and ordinary people could not store too much at home. The village had processed so much prey before, and now there was little salt left in the whole village.
Jiang Qinyu's grain and oil area had no shortage of salt, and no one would check what the salt in her salt jar looked like late at night. When she came over, she followed the Meng family and others to process the wild boar meat.
"A Zheng's family, I heard from your uncle that this trip into the mountains was thanks to you. How come you are so good at finding things?" Meng chatted with Jiang Qinyu while smearing salt on the wild boar meat neatly.
Jiang Qinyu was also rubbing salt on the wild boar meat. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "It's not that I know how to find it, it's just that I'm lucky. Besides, if you look carefully in the mountains, you can still find a lot of useful things."
As someone who is determined to live a life of ease, she doesn't know these things at all, but she has the system as a plug-in, so naturally everything she does is more convenient than others.
"Your uncle said that this time, your family will definitely get a larger share. It's all what you deserve." Meng was not jealous at all that the Lu family could get a larger share of meat, because her family would definitely get no less.
Jiang Qinyu's eyes curved, "It's all thanks to everyone, just distribute it reasonably."
She would not be so foolish as to push away the benefits that came to her door. Besides, it was she who discovered it and came up with the idea, but she didn't put in much effort.
Mrs. Meng liked her for being so simple and unpretentious. It wasn't easy for her husband to be the village chief, but over the years, whenever it came to distribution, he had done it in a way that satisfied most of the villagers.
Chen pulled Ma over to help, and when she heard the conversation between Meng and Jiang Qinyu, the corners of her mouth raised high.
She knew that the wife she had chosen for her eldest son was the right one, and that it was worth it that she and the old man had been so devoted to them over the years.
Ma was not very happy to hear this. She muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it just a piece of shit luck that she got some food? If she had the ability, she could make our village able to farm! If the land doesn't produce anything, how long can we delay?"
As she spoke, her voice gradually grew louder, and Chen, Meng, Jiang Qinyu and others heard it.
Jiang Qinyu looked at Ma, "Second sister-in-law, what if I could really do it? Could you run ten laps around our village and lose all that fat on your body?"
"Zheng's family, can you really let us continue farming?" Grandpa Jiang on the other side heard this and came over with his eyes shining and asked.
Jiang Qinyu glanced at Ma, who didn't dare to retort, and then said to Grandpa Jiang, "Grandpa, we've discovered an underground river in the mountains. If we can find out where it flows, it shouldn't be impossible to divert the water."
"But won't we miss the autumn planting season?" Grandpa Jiang asked worriedly.
He has been farming all his life and knows everything about the land. Seeing that he can't harvest enough grain during the autumn harvest season, he naturally starts to worry about whether he can continue planting in the autumn.
Jiang Qinyu smiled gently and said meaningfully, "Dayue has been suffering from a severe drought for three years. Since God has been blessing Dingshui Village recently, maybe we'll be able to grow crops in the fields in a few days."
If she used the plastic hoses in her space sparingly, it would be no problem to bury a section of hose in every field in the village.
But the prerequisite is that she has to make more diversion things. This is easy to do. Just make a mold, make it with mud, and then burn it.
"Oh, I hope it will rain in the next few days!" Grandpa Jiang didn't get a positive answer, so he shook his head and walked away.
After a while, Chen Shao and Liu Yazi came running over from somewhere. They stood in front of Jiang Qinyu and saluted her properly. "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Jiang Qinyu was really at a loss for words. "Why aren't you two going home so late? What are you doing?"
"Mrs. Lu, didn't you say before that wolves and hyenas are very vindictive?" Chen Shaohan explained with a smile, "Liu Yazi and I just wanted to ask you, should we dig a trap down the mountain?"
"Yes, we have been thinking about this these past few days since we went down the mountain. Wolves and hyenas live in groups. We have brought back a few of them, so there must be more in the mountains. We must not let them find their way into the village." Liuyazi agreed.
Jiang Qinyu looked at them with a complicated expression. After thinking for a moment, she said, "We must dig a trap, but we can't just dig here at the foot of the mountain..."
