Chapter 211: Chapter 211 I Believe in You_1

"Red moon, red moon, this surely signifies a prosperous year!" Old Mrs. Lu, leaning on her cane, grinned toothlessly and said excitedly, "It looks like this year will definitely be a bountiful one. We must hurry and sow the rice seeds in the field tomorrow, given this good omen!"

For them farmers, nothing could be more joyous than a plentiful harvest.

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing nearly jumped up.

What good omen!

This was a forewarning of disaster!

In the novel, the boss had written in his diary that the year the red moon appeared, a locust plague befell several provinces and cities across the country, including their own.

Do you know how terrifying locusts are?!

Wherever they passed, they left nothing but barren land, sparing neither grass nor crops; nothing was harvested.

Who knew how many would starve to death due to the famine.

Xia Ningxing felt a sudden tumult within her, wanting to warn them but fearing that others would say she was spoiling things under the guise of being helpful. Yet if she kept silent, she feared she may be cursed for being vicious!

It would have been better not to know the future developments.

Xia Ningxing: Life is really too hard for me!

Nevertheless, Xia Ningxing eventually organized her thoughts, preparing to warn the boss’s family.

She couldn’t control others, but she couldn’t sit idly by when it came to the boss’s family.

So, Xia Ningxing turned to the Lu family, pulling out her "Dream Shield" card, "Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Old Mrs. Lu, you might not believe this, but I had a dream before about the red moon appearing and then the locusts came. Many places, including here, harvested nothing and suffered from famine!"

"So, I suggest not planting crops this year and to start storing food right away! I hope you can believe me!"

After speaking all at once, whether they believed her or not was up to them.

Lu Tingli looked at the young girl with a slight surprise. Though he had heard from Mrs. Xia about Xia Ningxing’s predictive abilities, hearing it first-hand still surprised him.

"It’s actually a year of disaster!" Mrs. Lu, who was well aware of Xia Ningxing’s ability to dream of the future, did not doubt at all and immediately said, "Mother, then this year let the family not farm and instead store up more food!"

Her words had barely finished when a snicker was heard.

It was Madam Yun, walking over.

"I’m about to die of laughter, I say, little sister, how can you take a child’s dream seriously? Haven’t you heard that dreams and reality are often the opposite? If you ask me, this year is a year of abundance!" Madam Yun, like fireworks, chattered non-stop, "You were young at that time and probably don’t remember, but there was once a red moon, and that year the crops produced two or three times the usual yield!"

"Is that so?" Mrs. Lu, knowing her sister-in-law was often full of nonsense, didn’t really believe her words. So she turned to Old Mrs. Lu to verify the claim.

"Indeed, that happened," Old Mrs. Lu nodded, confirming that what Madam Yun had said was true.

More than thirty years ago, there was a red moon, that year brought a huge harvest. After delivering the public grain, each family still had plenty left over. Everybody was overjoyed.

In the sixties, their greatest wish was to have their fill of food.

Therefore, ever since, they always looked forward to the reappearance of the red moon, hoping for another great harvest.

"Last time was last time, this time is this time. This time there will definitely be a famine!" Xia Ningxing said with conviction.

"You, child, stop spouting nonsense and spreading alarm!" Madam Yun rolled her eyes at Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing let out a quiet breath, pursed her lips, and stayed silent from then on.

Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Starve if you must.

After all, she had said all she could say.

"Whether she believes you or not, I believe you!" Lu Tingli pulled the young girl close, gazing down at her softly.
