Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 1494 The Plague is here (2)
Late at night, silence fell over the surroundings but the sound of people working in the rice paddies could be heard.
The Big River Village was lit up brightly, even though it was late at night the torches and lamps that were given to the children were burning fiercely. The children of the village walked past the fields and made sure that the paddies were brightly lit.
While the women worked in the paddies, the mers went home and brought back a pot of sour and sweet plum soup along with a large bowl of cold noodles.
"Where did you get such fine noodles?" Village Head Gu asked her husband. She took a bite of the cold noodles and felt all the heat in her body dissipate. She was so tired after working all day long that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Taking a sip of the soup plum soup along with a bite of the cold noodles, the woman let out a sigh of contentment.
"It was given by the Yu family," Old Master Gu answered, but he did not know what to say. Sometimes he hated the Yu family but at times of need, that family helped them out. It made him look petty and selfish.
"They are good people," Village Head Gu sighed as she looked at the large amount of rice that was being dragged by her daughters to the main house which was not far from the paddies.
Earlier she was an inch away from giving up but after drinking a bowl of soup plum soup, Viillage Head Gu felt a rush of energy. She was now full of strength and immediately went back to the paddies with the sickle in her hands.
"Let everyone in the family drink it. Have them drink two bowls at least. It will be morning in a few minutes, we need to clean up the rest of the fields."
Village Head Gu looked worried as she crouched down to work again.
"Everyone continue working hard! There are only a few minutes till day breaks!" Village Head Gu shouted at the top of her lungs.
With Village Head Gu's shout, the women who stopped working immediately went back to work. Their arms were about to fall off but they still gritted their teeth and continued.
"I don't know where Madam Yu and the Village head heard that there would be a locust plague. They also went ahead and asked the neighbouring villages to harvest the rice. If the locust plague doesn't start then we will be in for really deep trouble. The rice needed at least another month to ripen."
"Not to mention, Madam Yu is used to wasting money on extravagant things. Just take the wall for example, was there a need to do such a foolish thing? Someone will think that we are hiding some sort of treasure in our village." This mer was upset because he was rejected by Shen Li when the latter was hiring workers to make ice cream.

He said that the mer was not clean enough as his fingers were cracked and there was mud inside the cracks. They were working in the food department and could not hire a mer who did not pay attention to basic hygiene.
"If you have so many complaints then you can go back to your parents' home as soon as the daybreak," the wife of the mer spoke up with a frown on her face. Continue your adventure with novelbuddy
The mer immediately turned quiet. Go back home? How could he go back? His parents have sold his younger brothers one by one for the sake of an ounce of grain.
They even came asking his wife to take one of his brothers as a bed slave in exchange for five catties of grain. Fortunately, his wife was not interested in young mers and refused.
She also handed five catties of grains to his parents but the mer was certain that his parents must have used up all the grain at home by now. If he went back home, he would be sold as well!
"I was just joking, wife..there is no need for you to take it to your heart," the mer was only making a small rant, why was his wife reacting like this?
Who did not know that currently, the Big River Village was a safe haven for many? People were dying to come inside the village, he would be a fool if he left the village.
Some mers were even willing to become bed servants of the women of the Big River Village, all for the sake of becoming a member of this village.
"I can't do this! If I continue I will die!" One of the women placed the last sack of rice that she collected from her rice paddies and slumped on the floor.
She was not the only one, many were sweating profusely. Their soles were burning, their legs shook without a pause and their waists were hurting even more than they did on their first night.
Some were bleeding profusely through their mouths as they had worked all day long.
They all stared at the rice paddies that were cleaned. However, there was still a rice paddy that was not cleaned and only one mer was working alone.
"To whom do these paddies belong?" Village Head Gu asked while wiping the sweat with her handkerchief.
"It is the old Yu house," one of the women answered with a frown on her face. "And the other one belongs to the Rong family."
"What's going on? Why is Li Tianhui and her parents not harvesting the rice? They sent a single old mer to harvest the rice?" Village head Gu was furious. The old Yu family only had three mu of rice paddies and she thought that the four members of the old Yu family would be able to do it.
Who would have thought that Old Master Tong was doing it alone?
As for the Old Rong family, she did not have any expectations to begin with.
"Go! Hurry help Old Tong to harvest——-"
BUZZ!
