I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

"If anyone finds a source of water, I will give him five acres of wasteland at the foot of the mountain."

Isn't that right next to their house? It's like someone sends you a pillow when you fall asleep.

"Si Pang, go find your second and third brothers and ask them to go to the old house to buy some mugwort from your grandma. Take as much as you can." Zhao Qiqi took out a string of fifty cents and put them in Si Pang's hand.

Si Pang nodded. He knew that his mother must be doing something big.

He did not dare to delay at all. The half-grown boy ran in such a hurry that he almost fell down.

She followed Dashuan to find water, and the village head did not let her leave. After all, she came here on her own initiative, and one more person meant more strength.

Zhao Qiqi grabbed Dashuan and asked, "Do you remember where we dug taro before?"

Dashuan nodded.

"The soil there is moist, and with so many taro growing there, water is essential."

There was eagerness in Dashuan's eyes. He knew that his mother wanted to buy land, but she didn't have enough money. If he could find a water source, he could get five acres of land.

"Mom, let's go there and take a look."

Zhao Qiqi nodded. The windward slope has more rainfall, and the taro field is on the windward slope. It can be inferred that there must be water around it.

Ersha, Santu and Sipang ran over breathlessly, with Ersha carrying a bamboo basket of mugwort on his back.

"Mother, this is the mugwort you asked for."

"Do you know why you came here to look for this mugwort?"

The children all shook their heads. They were illiterate and had no knowledge, so they didn't know that mugwort could be used to find water.

“Mugwort can find water.”

As soon as these words were spoken, several people's emotions were filled with surprise and joy. It was great that they could find water and get five acres of land.

Mom is so awesome!

Zhao Qiqi took out a small handful of mugwort, put it on the ground, and lit the mugwort with the fire starter he carried with him. A puff of white smoke rose faintly.

"Found it! Found water!"

Li Quan brought the village head and others over. The village head looked confused. Li Quan was indeed unreliable. Where was the water?

Without waiting for the headman to say anything, Li Quan watched the mugwort smoke drifting towards the front. All the members of the Gu family were gone, which was a good thing for him!

"Li Zheng, this mugwort can be used to find water. I heard the storyteller tell me about it when I went to the town to play."

The village head's voice was a little shaky, with excitement and suspicion: "Can you take this seriously? Don't tell me you are just making this up."

Don't blame him for not believing it. Li Quan was just a guy who used his family's money to go to brothels. There was no way he would go to listen to any storyteller. The head of the village guessed that he was deceiving him.

"There is water. There is water."

Tiedan started digging with a shovel. The ground was moist, so there must be water.

"Li Quan."

Li Quan was so frightened that he almost dropped the shovel in his hand. He had difficulty lifting it to begin with and almost dropped it and hit his own foot. Fortunately, Gu Afu beside him was quick to grab the wooden stick.

“I discovered this myself.”

Li Quan blurted out the words as if he was trying to cover up something.

The village head didn't care. Seeing Zhao Qiqi coming over, he said happily, "Mother Dashuan, Li Quan is a capable boy. He found water. I'll keep my word. The five acres of land will be..."

The head of the village was very happy, but Zhao Qiqi calmly stopped him from saying anything else: "Head of the village should wait a moment, there is no need to be so anxious."

Li Quan was anxious and his face turned red, not because he was shy, but because he was angry. He was so angry that he wanted to hit her.

"You stinky woman, you widow, you killed your man and now you want to kill me?"

Dashuan got angry and pushed him away. Li Quan could not stand and took several steps back before sitting on the ground.

"Li Quan, what are you talking about?"

He had promised to give five acres of land to whoever found it, but he couldn't stand Li Quan's rude words and would not tolerate it.

"What are you making a fuss about? Whoever finds it owns it. No one can take it away or get it." The head of the village looked stern and stared at Li Quan seriously.

Li Quan felt a little guilty, but he was still a scoundrel after all. He casually patted the dirt off his butt, stood up, and looked at Zhao Qiqi coldly: "The head of the village is right. Whoever it belongs to is the owner. It can't be taken away. I was the first to bring up the idea of ​​using mugwort to find water. I hope the head of the village can testify for me."

Although the expression on the head of the village was still serious, it was somewhat relaxed. After all, it was Li Quan who proposed the method and he was the savior of the entire village.

The head of the village nodded.

"Village head, there is no spring, just some accumulated water. There are many calla lilies here with big leaves, which provide tight shade, so some water is stored." Tiedan shook his head in disappointment. He was not so disappointed if he didn't find the water. He was even more disappointed when he thought he had found the water and then found out it was fake.

"How can there be no water? That's what the dead widow said..."

Li Quan was halfway through his words when he immediately reacted. Without even raising his head, he snorted and turned away.

If there is no water, then there is no water. If there is no water, he can go to the fumigation shop in town.

He ran away like a monkey, leaving the village head and his group speechless.

Humph, why did you believe him?

"Li Zheng, mugwort can be used to find water."

The head of the village waved his hand with a vicissitudes of life look on his face. Now he knew that it was Zhao Qiqi who proposed it, but he had just put it into practice, and he already knew the result very well.

God is going to destroy Gujia Village.

Seeing that he looked hopeless, Zhao Qiqi said nothing and asked a few boys to put the mugwort behind the taro field.

The others no longer held out any hope, but still followed Zhao Qiqi.

All I saw was a pile of almost burnt mugwort ashes.

Dashuan poured all the remaining mugwort on the ground and lit it. There was a lot of mugwort and a lot of smoke. White smoke rose up and everyone followed him involuntarily. The smoke became denser and denser, and went out more and more.

Everyone's heart was at its highest point. Even though they had just been disappointed, they were now full of hope again.

"spring!"

Although it’s not big, the water is flowing out densely all the time. No wonder there is such a large field of calla lilies!

No one dared to speak, as if this was some fairy who should not be offended and who would be blasphemed and run away if they spoke.

"Upright."

Zhao Qiqi was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the village head didn't react at all even though water was found.

Dashuan and his friends had just seen and found water once. They did this to demonstrate to the village head that such a small spring might not run dry. If everyone in the village could use this method and work together, they would surely be able to find more water sources!

"Da Shuan Niang!"

The village head finally reacted, looked at her with tears in his eyes, and was extremely excited.

...

She originally planned to give this job to Dashuan. Her identity here was just an ignorant and uneducated village woman. If she rashly came up with these methods, it would arouse suspicion.

But as soon as Li Quan said this, the village head knew that it was Zhao Qiqi's idea.

"Don't worry, Dashuan's mother! We'll sign our fingerprints when we get back. I'll sell you the land we talked about last time at two taels per mu!"

What a great feeling! Zhao Qiqi happened to have some spare money.
