Chapter 1498: Can’t help anymore (2)

"We still have five mus of rice paddies left. This is not even half of what we have sown. Please help me, please," Old Madam Rong jumped up anxiously. The Li family was still better as Old Master Tong had worked in the field all day and somehow managed to harvest three mu of rice. 

The Li family worked together with Yu Dong and the mammies and harvested most of the rice that they had sown. They only had a mu and a half left, which was not a big loss but her family had five mu of rice left! 

"Old Madam Rong, it is not that we do not want to help you but we cannot help you any more than this. We also have families and children, if we get bitten and get infected, who will help us?" One of the women said as she wiped her hands and ran out of the field. 

"She is right. The locusts are this close already, if we do not leave then we are only asking for death," said another woman as she stopped working and threw the sickle on the side and rushed after the first woman.
