Ye Zhen usually doesn't care about them. As long as it doesn't delay the meal, they can talk about whatever they want.

Only this time, as soon as she got closer, she heard something that surprised her.

Seeing her figure, the women who were chatting animatedly stopped and greeted her one after another.

But everyone's face is more or less mixed with some sadness, which is so obvious.

"Mrs. Xie, are you back? We just heard some big news!"

Aunt Huang sighed and directly told what they were talking about.

"We heard that there is an insect infestation in the north and it is spreading to our side!"

When the others heard this, their expressions turned uglier, as if the fields infested by insects belonged to them.

Ye Zhen also had mixed emotions in her heart. She didn't expect that in just a short time, this matter would become known to everyone.

It stands to reason that in ancient times, which were very backward, the speed of news transmission should be extremely slow.

But the insect plague is not a trivial matter. It is related to the family's life and property, so it spreads so quickly.

The fields are the life of farmers like them. Once an insect infestation breaks out, the entire fields will be eaten up. How can they not panic?

"What a crime! We haven't seen an insect plague in hundreds of years, so why did we encounter it?"

"I hope it won't spread to us. We will finally have a good harvest this year, but don't end up doing this!"

"I'm afraid it's difficult! I heard that four or five villages have been affected. Those insects have eaten the crops and become huge, and they can fly very fast!"

There was a lot of chatter, and the women were filled with worries.

Although with Ye Zhen's help this year, every family has extra income, and even if the field revenue is not good, there won't be a big problem.

But no one wants to work hard for a year and end up with nothing in the end, right?

"Don't panic, everyone, there is always a solution to everything!"

As soon as these words came out, many people looked at them with unhappy faces. Who doesn't know that insect pests can never be solved?!

But when they saw Ye Zhen's face, they swallowed their words again.
