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.
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!
