What is the combination lock solution in the Village Chief’s Manor in the Resident Evil 4 remake?

You can find the locked cabinet inside the Village Chief’s Manor on the bottom floor, behind the dining room.

You can find the solution upstairs, on the second floor. Return to where you entered the house in the back door, and proceed upstairs, where you’ll find a small book on top of a nightstand in the middle of a hallway. Approach the book to interact with it, and there will be a brief story for you to read.

The story highlights a small passage in the book: “the old farmer, his finest crop. The slight swineheard, his stoutest pig. The beggarly grandam, her own beloved babe.” “Crop, swineheard, pig, and babe,” are highlighted in this passage.

With this new information, return to the locked cabinet, and you can use those highlighted words to unlock it. The first symbol needs to be set to crops. The second needs to be set to a pig. The third one needs to be set to a small child. Once you apply this combination, the cabinet will unlock.
