Jiang Tuge nodded, not daring to delay, and followed Manager Li to the fields.

It was noon at this time, and there was no one in the field. Jiang Tuge and Manager Li visited several fields one after another and found the same problem.

That's what Jiang Tuge said, the wheat tips turning yellow. Although there are not many, anyone who often works in the fields can tell the difference at a glance.

If the wheat tip turns yellow prematurely, it will cause the wheat to sprout. It has not rained for a long time. If the wheat is not replenished with water in time, I'm afraid...

Manager Li didn't dare to think about what was going to happen next. When the time came, there would be no harvest, and the people in Zhuangzi who relied on farming would be even less able to survive.

Not only that, but where to find the official rations that need to be handed in every year? A series of questions made Manager Li frown involuntarily.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly threw the plucked wheat seedlings on the ground, his face became even more gloomy and ugly, "These people are simply incompetent. No one discovered such a big thing."

"If you hadn't discovered it in time, we in Zhuangzi would have been very sad this year."

Jiang Tuge nodded, with a serious look on his face, "Manager Li, don't be angry. The weather is hot, and most people go to work in the fields in the morning and evening."

"If you don't look carefully at these wheat tips, you can't see any difference. I happened to see it on the mountain today, otherwise I would be like everyone else."

"Okay, don't explain it to them." Manager Li tightened his eyes and said, "Now go and call everyone in the village to come over and talk about this matter. This does not belong to one family or two families, and everyone must take it seriously. .”

Jiang Tuge didn't expect that Manager Li was a man of action, but this matter really couldn't be delayed. "Manager Li, I'm going to call someone from the west. Let's divide our troops into two groups and move faster!"

"That's fine!" After saying that, Manager Li left for Dongtou.

Jiang Tuge didn't call those unfamiliar people directly, but called Zhao Ergou first.

Zhao Ergou saw Jiang Tuge's anxious look and immediately asked the reason. After learning the seriousness of the matter, he simply started to call for help.

Manager Li on the other side called some people, and he passed them on to others without any slow movement. In about half a stick of incense, most of the people working in the fields in Zhuangzi were here.

Manager Li looked at everyone, and then said, "I called everyone here today because of something Jiang learned about. If we don't take this matter to heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. From the look on Manager Li's face, it was probably something serious. After thinking for a moment, everyone started discussing in low voices.

Aunt Song and Aunt Zhang looked at each other and couldn't help but ask, "Manager Li, is this really as serious as you say?"

Hearing this, Manager Li nodded seriously.

Mrs. Zhang stood in the crowd and looked at Jiang Tuge with disdain, "Manager Li, are you going to be deceived by Jiang Tuge?"

"We here all know what kind of virtue she had in the past. Maybe she has bad intentions again, so that everyone can take a good look at her."

Manager Li looked at Mrs. Zhang with a sad look on his face, "Mrs. Zhang, if you can't speak, just shut your mouth."

"Why should I shut up?" Mrs. Zhang raised her arms and looked like a villain who has succeeded.

Jiang Tuge chuckled, "Mr. Zhang, if you don't believe me, it's okay. You can do it according to your own ideas, no one can stop you."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she became happy and said, "Jiang Tuge, you must be guilty! I happen to have such thoughts, and I don't believe what you say."

"These people are willing to be fools and fools to listen to your nonsense here, but I am not!" After saying this, Mrs. Zhang laughed to herself. But what she just said undoubtedly offended everyone else present, including Manager Li.

Aunt Song rolled her eyes and glared at Mrs. Zhang, saying, "With that mouth of yours, you will say some unpleasant things all day long. I think sooner or later you will cause trouble because of your mouth."

"That's right, I don't know who farted here, why is it so smelly? Aunt Song, did you smell it too!" Zhao Ergou said immediately.

As he spoke, he made a gesture of fanning the air. Madam Zhang was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and was about to argue.

But before she got close to Zhao Ergou, old Aunt Zhang stood up and said, "Mother Zhang, you're almost done. How come it's been so long, how come you can't tell the seriousness of the matter!"

When Mrs. Zhang saw that no one was standing with her, she simply didn't care anymore. She rolled up her sleeves and started to argue with old Aunt Zhang.

When Manager Li saw this situation, he tapped the cane in his hand several times, "That's enough, Mrs. Zhang, don't embarrass yourself here."

"Go home now, otherwise don't blame me for opening an ancestral temple!"

"Open an ancestral hall?" Mrs. Zhang twitched her mouth and said nonchalantly, "Don't scare me by saying this here all day long, I'm not afraid!"

Seeing her being so unreasonable, Manager Li was so angry that he almost hit her with a stick, "Okay, you're not afraid, are you! Someone will open the ancestral hall today."

"Now that I am still the clan leader, there is no need for that old dog to divorce you. As the clan leader, I can take his place and divorce you, a prodigal woman."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately became quiet. She never imagined that she would push Manager Li to this point.

Not to mention how embarrassing it would be to divorce her at such an age, and there would be no place to live if he returned to his parents' home. Her parents were dead long ago, and apart from a few brothers in the family, her sister was married to Manager Li.

Mrs. Zhang was afraid that Manager Li would really open an ancestral hall, so she hurriedly said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, don't be angry. I...I just said a few more words."

"I'm leaving now, and I won't stay here to delay your business."

After the words fell, Mrs. Zhang left here in disgrace.

Old man Zhang wanted to leave quietly with Mrs. Zhang, but he was discovered by Manager Li.

"Zhang Laogou, you should discipline her well after you go back. If there is another time, divorce her first and remove her from your clan."

Hearing this, Old Man Zhang curled his lips. He glanced at Manager Li, and then said, "Brother-in-law, I'm standing here but I haven't said a word."

"My family is so messy, it's enough for you to punish her, why are you taking it out on me?"

Manager Li snorted coldly, "It has nothing to do with you? How dare you say that Mrs. Zhang is like this now, and you are not responsible for it?"

"Today in front of everyone, I can't say anything anymore. Next time, I will definitely deal with you according to the rules of the clan."

Hearing this, Old Man Zhang's eyes tightened. After a moment, he turned around and left.

Everyone saw that Manager Li was really angry. Those who originally wanted to make a fuss were afraid to speak at this moment.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Manager Li said, "I called everyone here today because Mr. Jiang discovered that the fields we farm are dry, and the tops of the wheat have turned slightly yellow!" (End of Chapter)
