Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 824: Hiring women to dig well

When he said this, his eyes could not help but flash with a ruthless glint. His mother was truly a woman who did not deserve to become a wife or a mother but maybe it was their sins from the past life which chased after them that they became the children of that woman who only knew how to drink and beat her kids.

Shen Jin did not know what his brother was planning, in fact, he did not even care whether his brother wanted to save him or not as long as his brother loved him and cared for him, it was enough. There were many times when he went to see his second brother but after becoming the concubine of a big official, his second brother obviously did not have any good impression of their family what was more their mother often took money from the second brother which made him even more impatient.

Thus at his second brother's house, he was treated in a rather cold manner and he was only given a few buns which smelled bad, after he told this matter to his father, the latter sneered coldly and asked him to no longer bother his second brother who turned into a phoenix from a sparrow.

But his eldest brother was different he praised him and treated him kindly even giving him food which smelled good whenever he came, this much was enough for him.

Seeing that Shen Jin had calmed down, Shen Li urged him to take a seat on the table just as Lang walked inside the house. Her eyes fell on the kid who was dressed in rags but she did not say anything nor did she show any contempt on her face. There was a time when she was just as poor as this kid so how could she look down on him?

With a simple glance she turned her eyes away from the child who looked like Shen Li and then spoke in a cold voice, " Master Shen an urgent matter popped up which is why Lady Yu will not join you all for lunch, she asked you to go ahead and eat."

Shen Li was already thinking about how to explain Shen Jin to Yu Dong when Lang came, upon hearing her words, Shen Li heaved a sigh of relief and then nodded, " I understand I will do as Dong Dong had said as for everything please leave it aside, I will let her know when she comes back home in case she is busy with a serious matter."

He was telling Lang not to mention Shen Jin to Yu Dong at the moment, he was yet to tell about his mother and sister to Yu Dong much less Shen Jin.

" As you say, Master Shen," Lang conceded as she turned to leave but then Chen Mi who came out with a bowl of rice stopped her and then asked, " Sister Lang, on a scale of one to ten, just how bad is wife's mood?"

Lang paused in her steps as she turned to look at Chen Mi and carefully thought about the dark look on Yu Dong's face she hesitated and then replied, " I am afraid that I have never seen Lady Dong as angry as she was today."

When Shen Li and the rest heard it, they could not help but exchange a glance with each other. Did Shen Han Xing and Mother Shen already come to find trouble with Yu Dong? But that was not possible, there was no way Yu Dong would have not called for them if that was the matter, then what else could happened?

"Sister Lang, do you know what happened? And why is Dong Dong in a bad mood?" Shen Li could not help but ask with a concerned look on his face, these days there was so much to worry about already and from the looks of it, one could see that something was going to happen very soon again.

Lang hesitated and then shook her head, " I have no idea what is going on with Lady Dong, she did not tell me anything just asked me to send the word as of now she is with Village head Gu and seemed to be having an intense discussion."

This only heightened the worry of the four mers who were in the living room, if Yu Dong was with Village head Gu, it naturally meant that whatever happened concerned the entire village!

….

" Are you saying that there is a chance that there will be a locust plague in the summers?" Village head Gu was sitting on the couch of her house with a cup of tea in her hands when she heard the words of Yu Dong she was going to take a sip of the tea but she paused in the middle and a good thing too because if she had taken a sip, she would be choking on it now.

Yu Dong grimly nodded, it would have been fine if this happened after a heavy rain or something of the sort but now this disaster was happening after a heavy flood.

There was no chance that the price of the grains will go down and with the locust plague already hanging on their neck Yu Dong was worried that if they were not prepared chaos was bound to happen.

" Ask the villagers to start cultivating lands as soon as possible, I wish to see the cultivated lands by the end of this week and the seeds should be sown by the end of the next week," Yu Dong did not want to hurry the villagers but if she did not hurry them then there will be no savings in their hands to buy grains before the locust plague.

Knowing how stubborn a few villagers can be, she added, " Tell them that in case they do not wish to die in the summers start working as soon as possible, the sooner we grow the strawberries the sooner we will be able to harvest them."

She paused and then carefully thought about something before she spoke again, " And free your schedule for tomorrow, we are going to hire some women to dig at least three wells in our village."

Locust plague naturally followed dry season, the fact that locust was flying around in her village already was enough to let her know that the upcoming summers were going to be super harsh.
