Shen Yuyu originally wanted to see how the news was notified here, so she came over with Mrs. Shen. When she heard that many people in the crowd pointed the finger at her father.
Mrs. Shen also heard the words that slandered Shen Rong, and immediately shouted in a loud voice: "What the hell, is my son putting a knife on your necks and forcing you to collect grain?"
The old lady who was scolded by Old Mrs. Shen had a look on her face. She was of the same generation as Old Mrs. Shen, so who was afraid of the other when it came to a quarrel.
The old lady pinched her waist and said, "Who told your son to spread rumors about a locust plague? We have lived here peacefully all our lives and have never heard of such a thing happening."
Shen Yuyu looked calm and did not have much fluctuation in her heart. However, the Shen family was willing to tell the news out of consideration for them, and she could not let them spread rumors.
She said: "We are just speculating on this matter, and we cannot give any guarantee to the villagers. However, we are willing to speak out out of kindness to our neighbors. It's just a scandal ahead. If anything happens, come to us to borrow food." If you don’t, don’t say that our family is cold-blooded and ignores the friendship between the villagers.”
Shen Lizheng originally wanted to sit back and enjoy the benefits and let the villagers draw the flames on Shen Rong, but he did not expect that Mrs. Shen and his maids actually came.
I could only bite the bullet and add awkwardly: "The Shen family girl is right. I'm just telling everyone about this. It's up to you if you want to watch. I won't force you to do it."
Shen Yuyu glanced at him coldly. Don't think that she didn't know. What she just said here was to lead the finger to their home.
The crowd was silent for a moment, and someone else said: "The Shen family girl is right. Shen Xiucai told us this out of kindness. As for whether you are willing to accept it or not, that is not your business."
Some people thought he was right and quickly agreed.
Ma and Lin Chunyan stood on the edge of the crowd. When they heard everyone starting to praise Shen Rong, they felt very unhappy. Because of what happened a few days ago, the villagers avoided her mother and daughter like snakes and scorpions, and they also hated them in their hearts. .
Ma said: "Then we harvested the grain in advance, do you have to ration the losses to the big guys?"
Ma's words hit the mark on most people's minds, and they were hesitant in their hearts. If they refused, they would be afraid of a locust plague, and if they accepted, they would be afraid of no locust plague. If Ma said this, wouldn't everything be avoided?
Several people immediately echoed, but Wu Cuihua couldn't stand it. She pointed at those who said that the Shen family should compensate for the losses, and said: "They all say that people are shameless and invincible. I think you have no shame. Why do you have the nerve to say such a thing?" Well, why do they want to compensate you for food?
You can harvest it or not, but my family will continue to harvest it anyway. If there is a famine, you will regret it."
After Wu Cuihua finished speaking, she walked over and took Old Mrs. Shen's hand and walked out of the crowd together. She had to ask more to see when their family would collect food, so she had to follow closely.
The son of Wu Cuihua's family, Shen Nian, was also studying with Shen Rong in the school in the town. Every time he came back, he would praise Mrs. Shen for how awesome she was. She also had a good relationship with the Song family. She was already convinced by what she just said.
…
The Shen family's sisters-in-law also went back to their parents' house to tell the story. Shen Yun accompanied little Zhang to the Zhangjia Village next door early in the morning.
Things went smoothly for the Song family and Xiao Zhang family, and they were willing to take the gamble with the Shen family, but Zhao family suffered a lot from her parents' family.
Some people hurried home to discuss it, while others were dismissive and thought it would never happen.
Regardless of what everyone thought, the Shen family rolled up their sleeves and started harvesting in the fields. When Zhao returned to Shenjia Village, she adjusted her mood, took a sickle, and went to help.
The family members worked together and worked in full swing. The people watching could not sit still for a long time. They also saw that the Li Zheng family had begun to go to the fields to harvest, and many people ran home to get sickles.
