Dressed Like a Cute Little Lucky Bag Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Everyone Comes to Borrow Food 2

  Two more days passed, and the rice in the entire commune was finally harvested.

  This time, every household mobilized all their available labor force for the harvest, and no one dared to take a break. At lunch, they hurriedly stuffed a piece of bread into their mouths, and then picked up the sickle to work again.

  Working seventeen or eighteen hours a day made everyone exhausted and they could almost fall asleep as soon as they touched the pillow.

  But the result of this desperate harvest was that all the rice was harvested in six days, which was almost twice as fast as before.

  But even so, no one dared to relax.

  The millet has to be dried first!

  If there had been no insect plague in previous years, they could have rested for two days before continuing to work, but now they are afraid that the locusts will come again.

  Even though Zhao Mancang arranged a lot of people to guard the threshing ground, everyone still felt uneasy and went to check on the threshing ground whenever they had time.

  The harvest was over and the food returned to its previous standard, but no one complained.

  "If the locusts hadn't suddenly died this year, we wouldn't even have brown rice to eat next year."

  Zhou Zhaodi said with emotion: "I heard that this time only our commune and the two neighboring communes had a good harvest, and the other communes suffered more or less losses."

  Ma Xiu Lian nodded: "It is said that the harvests of the two communes in the next town are only half of last year's. I am afraid they will have to tighten their belts this year."

  Hearing this, Zhou Zhaodi said with a lingering fear: "Fortunately, God has blessed us and prevented the locusts from destroying our commune's grain!"

  Zhao Mei, however, had a worried expression on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

  Seeing this, Ma Xiu Lian said with a serious face, "There is something I must tell you in advance. The grain stored in our house is only enough for this family to live on. So no matter who comes to borrow grain, I will definitely not lend it out. Don't just promise to borrow grain without any reason, or you will end up making a scene."

  The families of several daughters-in-law had suffered more or less food losses. If she borrowed from one family, the other family would have to borrow as well!

  When other relatives found out, they would also come to borrow food. However, the losses of the families of Zhao Mei and Zhou Zhaodi were not too serious this time, and they were all honest.

  The main reason is that Li Chunhua's family is shameless, and they live in the town that suffered the most serious losses. She can guess with her toes that they will definitely come to them to borrow food with a flattering face.

  But Chen Jianye is a soft-hearted person, and the old woman will definitely agree to lend the grain if she cries and makes a fuss.

  Thinking of this, she gave her third son a warning look and emphasized again: "No matter who the other party is, no matter how much they cry and beg, you can't lend it to me!"

  Chen Jianye was so embarrassed by the look that he quickly lowered his head.

  Who made him the only one with such a shameless mother-in-law!

  After Chen Jianye returned to his room, he told Li Chunhua about this. She sat on the bed with a sad face and said, "I don't want to borrow it either, but you know what kind of person my mother is. She will definitely come to borrow food."

  She has two sons now, how could she be willing to lend the food to her parents' home!

  "What should I do?"

  Chen Jianye was also very worried. After all, if his father-in-law and mother-in-law really asked him for help, he would be embarrassed to keep refusing.

  Li Chunhua thought for a moment and said, "When my mother comes to borrow food, we will just stay in the house and pretend we don't know she's here. We won't get involved in this matter anyway."

  This way, if her mother can't borrow food, she won't blame herself as a daughter for not speaking up for her.

  Chen Jianye hesitated for a moment: "That's fine too."
