On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

"Dad, I think we should choose the land behind our house!"

A stone stirs up a thousand waves. Old Song refused without thinking, "No, no, our land at the back is not as fertile as the land at the east end of the village. There is no water for irrigation nearby. We can't take care of these 30 acres of land!"

"Dad, even if you choose the land at the east end of the village, there is no water to irrigate the land in this year!"

"How can it be the same? Just because there is no water now doesn't mean there will be no water next year. It's just temporary!"

Seeing that he couldn't convince his father, Song Xile had to throw out the bait and said, "Dad, how do you know there is no water in the back mountain?"

The Song family was stunned, and even Chen Yunyou looked at his wife curiously!

Old Song asked excitedly, "Where is the water?"

Song Xile smiled slightly, "Dad, do you remember the valley where we used to go to collect firewood?"

"Don't you think the vegetation and flowers in that area are more lush than those in other areas?"

"I remember when my grandfather took me to the mountains to collect herbs, he told me that if the vegetation in one place in the mountains is more lush than in other places, or if there is a lot of bird and animal feces, it means there is water there!"

What his daughter said was so convincing that Old Song felt extremely excited!

If the water problem can be solved, then among the thirty acres of land, the one on the back mountain would definitely be the best!

First of all, connecting these fields is easier to manage, and on the other hand, it is convenient to guard the high-yield bean seeds!

In fact, what Old Song is most worried about is that his bean seeds are coveted by others!

Old Song couldn't wait any longer and immediately called his two sons to go out and check!

Song Xile stopped him and said, "Dad, don't be impatient. Let's not talk about the exact location of the water source, which still needs to be carefully investigated. It's obviously impossible for us to dig out the water with just a few people!"

Old Song was dumbfounded. He was excited for a moment, but he overlooked the most critical problem. Digging through the mountain to open up water is a huge project. With only three of them, father and son, how could they handle it?

Moreover, there are still thirty acres of land at the foot of the mountain that need them to cultivate. Old Song was very distressed for a moment!

He paced back and forth anxiously, and couldn't help but look at his daughter: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"If you ask me, don't even think about digging the mountain. It's very time-consuming and it's not something that can be done by two or three people. Dad should first determine the location of the water source, and then follow the terrain down to dig a well or a pond at the foot of the mountain. This way, there will be less noise and it won't be so eye-catching!"

Old Song was a little skeptical about his daughter's proposal, so he turned to his most knowledgeable son-in-law and asked, "Can this work?"

Chen Yunyou thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, it's feasible. If there is indeed an undercurrent in this mountain, as Xile said, we can dig a well at the foot of the mountain according to the terrain and topography, and there is a high probability that we can dig up groundwater!"

"But I don't know much about mountain geology. Father-in-law can dig a well at the foot of the mountain first, and then start digging a pond after confirming that there is water!"

After listening to his son-in-law's proposal, Old Song decided: "This is a good idea, this method is feasible!"

The Song brothers all spoke up, saying that this method could be tried!

Song Xile glanced at Yun You, and didn't expect that his thoughts coincided with hers!

The noise of digging for water from the mountain was too loud and would attract too much attention. Their family's high-yield bean seeds were already very eye-catching, and she didn't want her family to attract too much attention!

My parents and brothers are all old farmers with little power, so it’s better to keep a low profile as much as possible!

Song Xile could foresee that once the county magistrate spread the news of the high-yield bean seeds, someone would definitely come to ask for the bean seeds!

In order to avoid being targeted by ghosts and monsters, Song Xile suggested: "Dad, of the remaining bean seeds at home, we will only keep 60 kilograms of seeds, and the remaining 240 kilograms will be given to the clan leader to distribute to the poor families in the village!"

"but....."

When Old Song heard his daughter's words, he jumped up and down anxiously without waiting for her to finish. "How can this be possible? You are generous, but I can't bear to give it away. What if the bean seeds are spread out and the county magistrate's business is ruined?"

Yang pinched her husband's arm in anger, "You are stingy again. The girl hasn't even finished her words yet, why are you so anxious? Can your daughter harm you?"

Old Song turned his face away angrily without saying a word. He was reluctant to give up so many bean seeds at once. He felt bad!

Song Xile winked at her mother, indicating that she should speak!

"Dad, after the county magistrate spreads the word about the high-yield bean seeds, do you think someone will find you here for no apparent reason?"

Old Song paused, thought for a moment and said, "I said they were all bought by the county magistrate?"

She did not continue to question Old Song, but asked her eldest and second brothers, "If you were the family that came to ask for bean seeds, would you believe Dad's reply to you like this?"

Both of them shook their heads!

Old Song glared at his two sons and said, "If they don't believe it, then don't believe it. We have the support of the county magistrate, so what are we afraid of?"

"Dad, you are wrong. The county magistrate has already paid us. Even if he wants to take care of our family, he can't always look after us!"

"It's intentional but unintentional. Think about it, if those powerful families want someone else's land and can't buy it, what will they do?"

"If you can't buy it, you can always rob it! This year's harvest is obviously not good. If those people pick on those who have no way to make a living and say that our family has high-yield bean seeds, do you think you can stop them, Dad?"

Song Xile held the little head that was playing beside her, "Dad, do you think you can protect the whole family?"

Old Song was frightened by the implication of his daughter's words!

He was too happy today and didn't expect there was such a potential crisis!

In addition, the Lord gave him twenty taels of silver in public today, so everyone knows that his family has money and food!

He glanced at the two well-behaved grandchildren at his feet. For the sake of his family, Old Song took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "If we give away the bean seeds as you said, will outsiders believe that we don't have any bean seeds?"

"Dad, we can't stop outsiders from making assumptions, but we can get the villagers to stand on our side!"

"After all, there are several hundred people in our village. We all have the same interests. If something happens at home, you just need to give us a call. Are you still afraid that someone will come to cause trouble for us?"

After hearing these words, Old Song felt relieved a little, and his originally reluctant mood changed!

Song An asked doubtfully, "Little sister, apart from the 60 kilograms of bean seeds left by our family, the remaining bean seeds are only enough to plant 20 mu of land. I'm afraid this amount of bean seeds is not enough to share among the 60 households in our village. How can we make everyone support our family?"

Everyone looked at Song Xile, expecting her to answer next!

Song Xile did not answer his second brother's question, but looked at Old Song and said, "Dad, have you planted the melon seeds I asked you to grow last time?"

Old Song nodded repeatedly, "It's planted, it's planted, right in our backyard!"
