Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her
Chapter 151 Digging out the Hot Spring
Of course Wang Daniu would not listen to Liu. Sister Mengyue said there was water below, so there must be water. If the water could be dug up soon, the village would not have to worry about lack of water anymore.
So Wang Daniu took the tools from Liu and started digging again.
"I said stop digging, stop digging, can't you hear me?"
Seeing that no one listened to her, Liu started yelling again.
"Liu, shut up."
The village chief was standing nearby giving orders, and was furious when he saw Liu coming over to cause trouble.
"Village Chief, you can't dig any further. There is no water underneath. Li Mengyue lied to you."
In fact, the village chief couldn't tell whether there was water or not. The reason why he asked someone to dig a well was mainly because he had a mysterious confidence in Li Mengyue.
You know, his ancestor had told him in a dream that Li Mengyue was the noble person of the village. As long as he followed the noble person's footsteps, the whole village would become rich in no time.
As the village chief, he was willing to believe in this illusory dream mainly because what Li Mengyue did really made the lives of the villagers much better.
Not to mention anything else, just selling locusts can bring a lot of extra income to every household.
I used to be reluctant to eat fine grains and meat, but now I am willing to spend a few copper coins to buy some to satisfy my family’s cravings.
He also made schoolbags and bought unsellable wasteland and hills in the village to plant fruit trees. He also saw Yue making soft and tender tofu with the soybeans produced from the three acres of dry land she got from the family division.
He knew all these things clearly, and they made him more convinced of Li Mengyue.
The important thing is that he is old, and neither his eldest son nor his youngest son is fit to be village chief, and he has never found a suitable successor.
Ever since he saw what Li Mengyue did, he thought it was time to make a decision.
And digging the well this time will help Li Mengyue establish prestige in front of the villagers, and he will never allow anyone to destroy it.
Seeing that Liu was determined to jump into the pit, the village chief suddenly became annoyed.
"Where's Wang Lai? Ask him to come over and take his wife away. If you can't control him, I don't mind letting him know the severity of the village rules."
"Hey, hey, hey, village chief, I'm here. My wife is a little mentally ill. Please don't hold grudges against her. I'll take her away right now."
"Let's go. Don't you think it's embarrassing to be here?"
"I won't go. There's no water below and I can't dig."
"Hey, what I said doesn't work, does it?"
Wang Lai saw that Liu, who had always been obedient, was becoming rebellious and trying to escape from him. This was too much. He would give her a good beating when he returned today.
"Okay, you're not leaving, right? I'll tell you what I did to those three money-losing guys. Don't regret it."
"Don't touch them. I'll go with you and go back with you."
Wang Lai saw that his threat had worked, and whispered in Liu's ear in a vicious voice: "You bitch, you are obedient now, come with me, and I will treat you well when I go back."
When Liu heard this, her body shuddered violently and the blood in her body stopped in an instant. She seemed to hear the sound of her bones crying out in pain.
But for the sake of her three daughters, she had to go back, otherwise she was afraid that Wang Lai would not care and attack her daughters.
No matter what, they are just flesh that fell from his body, and no one cares about her more than she does.
After Liu followed Wang Lai away, the people digging the well continued. After three hours of digging, they still didn't see any water, and gradually some people began to slack off.
They thought Li Mengyue might have made a mistake. The wells in the village were almost dry, so how could there be water here?
But because the village chief was present, they had to continue digging.
The village chief saw the sun rising high in the sky. More than thirty young men took turns digging. The depth had exceeded five meters, but there was still no water. He became anxious.
He also noticed the helpless look on the face of the young man digging the well, but he couldn't shout a stop.
It was agreed yesterday that Li Mengyue would be responsible for finding a place with water, and he would hire people to dig. Now that no water has been dug out, they have given up.
This not only shows that everyone does not believe in Li Mengyue, but also destroys the village's chance of self-rescue.
"Village chief, we have been digging since this morning and haven't even had a meal. We have dug more than five meters deep and still haven't found any water. Should we stop digging?"
"You little bastard, I haven't told you to stop yet, why are you in such a hurry? Keep digging. Yue said there is water, so there must be water."
"Okay, let's dig for another hour. If there's still no water, whoever wants to dig can do so. I'm not going to dig anymore."
When Wang Daniu heard someone say this, he said, "If you don't want to dig, you can stop digging now. No one is forcing you."
"Wang Daniu, what did you say? Do you believe it or not..."
"Well, if you have the energy to argue here, you might as well dig a few more shovels."
After the village chief gave the order, everyone began to take turns digging again. Half an hour later, the wasteland was filled with cheers and excitement.
"Ah, water, water, water is coming out."
"There is real water. It's really water."
"That's right, Li Mengyue didn't lie to us. Now we don't have to worry about running out of water."
"Hey, why is the water a little hot?" Wang Daniu's voice was too soft and was drowned out. However, seeing how happy everyone was, he pursed his lips and said nothing, deciding to tell Li Mengyue about it later.
"Okay, now everyone should believe Yue girl!"
The village chief saw that water had really been dug out and raised his head proudly. He looked at him and said, "Just believe in Yue girl, it's right."
"Let's go to the next well digging site. This well is far from the village, and it's not convenient to come here to fetch water every day."
"Okay, let's go, let's catch up with the village chief."
Soon, Wang Daniu was the only one left in the wasteland. Among the thirty young men digging the well, no one noticed that he was missing.
The village chief led his men to the second marked location, and without any urging, everyone started digging enthusiastically.
On Wang Daniu's side, he found Li Mengyue who was checking the fruit seedlings on the mountain.
"Mengyue, I have something to tell you."
"What's wrong, Brother Daniel?"
"You asked us to dig down at the marked spot, and we actually found water."
Hearing this, Li Mengyue was not surprised at all. After all, the quality of the complete set of geological monitoring equipment obtained by lottery for one hundred taels was guaranteed.
Regardless of how many high-end functions it has, at least it will not make mistakes in detecting groundwater, so she led the person to the place and left with peace of mind.
Seeing Wang Daniu hesitate to speak, she thought things must be more complicated than that, so she asked directly, "Did something else happen?"
"Mengyue, it's not a big deal, it's just that the water coming out of the ground is hot."
"hot?"
"Yeah, it's hot. You'll see if you go and take a look. There's no one there now."
"Okay, Brother Daniel, I'll be there right away, you go ahead and do your work."
After Wang Daniu finished speaking, he felt relieved, turned around and left. He still had to continue digging the well.
[Host, hot spring, it must be a hot spring, let's go check it out. ]
[Well, whether it is true or not, I can only draw a conclusion after I have seen it. ]
