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

The village head thought that the reason why Dashuaniang looked at him speechlessly was because he did not give her the land in time. After all, she was a very stingy person who would snatch away even the smallest vegetable dropped on the ground.

What an unexpected surprise! A bright smile appeared on Zhao Qiqi's face.

It was just as he thought, but now he didn't have time to care about Dashuaniang.

"Dashuan, Ah Fu, Er Sha, Tie Dan.....you all go around here and dig."

The village head went down the mountain with Zhao Qiqi. His first purpose was to sign a land contract with Zhao Qiqi, and second, to quickly mobilize people to get mugwort to find water.

It will be a bit hard to go up the mountain to fetch water in the future, but as long as it can solve the current problem, it will be fine.

"According to Dashan Niang's method, everyone took mugwort to the mountain to find water. Now the water is not enough for people to drink, and it cannot be used to irrigate farmland."

Everyone was panicking. Even if they found water for drinking, without water in the farmland, they would have no food. Without food... wouldn't it be a dead end? Everyone was a farmer who lived on the farmland, and they had no extra money or food.

"Li Zheng, if the farmland cannot be irrigated, then wouldn't it be a waste of crops?"

"That's right. My family doesn't have much food to begin with, and now we can't harvest it. How are we going to survive?"

The people in the village are all dejected. The price of grain is high now, and there are no vacancies for the hard labor jobs carrying heavy bags in the town. Without a harvest, they will have to beg.

"Don't worry, let's wait and see for a few days. The farmland is not yet beyond repair. If everyone tries their best to find water, we can use it to irrigate the farmland if we find enough water."

The head of the village couldn't bear to see everyone so depressed, so he did some ideological work for them one by one.

Of course, he had no other choice. Finding some water source was his greatest hope. He heard that Zhaojia Village across the river had run out of water long ago. If he got the news and went up the mountain to grab water, it would be disastrous.

Everyone knew that they were taking mugwort to find water, and only then did Old Mrs. Gu realize the purpose of these children buying mugwort from her.

"Second and third brothers, take Dazhu, Erzhu and Sanzhu with you to find water."

"Mom, the mugwort has been taken away by my sister-in-law. How can we use it to find water?" Xiang lowered her head in a sarcastic tone. She didn't have the courage to directly confront the old lady.

"Why, can't we find water without mugwort? Can't we help others dig? Whoever finds water can share it with everyone?"

"Mother...I didn't say anything." Xiang shrank back. The old lady was not a good-tempered person. In this era where filial piety was the most important thing, she didn't dare to argue again.

"Humph, you're making trouble even though I didn't say anything. If I asked you to think a little more, would you have directly convicted me?"

Mrs. Gu's words were harsh, but she didn't hold it against her. As long as she felt comfortable after she finished speaking, she would be fine. She didn't think of using any means to torture her.

The most important thing is that she took the fifty cents that Zhao Qiqi gave her to buy mugwort, and she made a fortune. The mugwort was not worth so much money at all.

"Why don't you go now? Do you want others to say that we are doing nothing?"

The two sons quickly asked their wives to go and find the children, and they went up the mountain to find water first.

"Third sister-in-law, look, our eldest sister-in-law gave us fifty coins to send her off, and the money hasn't even reached us yet. If it weren't for our family, how could she have gotten those five acres of land?"

When she heard what others said, she almost bit her teeth off. Before, she was very happy to find the mugwort and give it to her. She said that it was her sister-in-law who was too scheming. If she hadn't kept it secret, these five acres of land might not have been hers.

"Sister-in-law, let's go find some children quickly, otherwise mother will be unhappy."

Bai did not agree with her sister-in-law's point of view, but did not deny it directly. Instead, she changed the subject and let the matter go.

Xiang rolled her eyes at her. You know, this person is useless and can't do anything with just one stick.

"Dazhu, Erzhu." Xiang pulled the two sons aside and said, "Your grandma asked you to go up the mountain to find water. Just pretend to do it. There are so many people looking for water. We don't need one or two of you. Don't hurt yourself."

When Bai heard this, she pretended not to hear it and did not tell her son anything.

A few boys went up the mountain.

When it gets dark, everyone goes downstairs.

No other water source was found and everyone was very depressed.

"Go back. I see the water in this spring is flowing very fast. If you use it sparingly, it will last until the next rain."

The village head turned around and led the way towards his home. His gait was hunched and he looked much older in an instant.

"Dashuan, Ersha, and Santu, you don't have to go to town tomorrow."

"Is mother worried that the three of us can't do it?" Ersha wondered why his mother wouldn't let him go. Selling rice rolls in the town could earn him one or two taels of silver, which was much better than farming.

Zhao Qiqi shook his head. "There are a lot of things to do at home right now. The five acres of wasteland given by the village head need to be replanned, the vegetables grown at home also need to be sorted out, and someone needs to go up the mountain to find water."

Zhao Qiqi spent 25 taels of silver to buy the spiritual spring. Originally, she could unlock the spiritual spring as long as she earned 25 taels of silver, but now the situation has come to the point where taels of silver is indeed a lot, but it is still necessary to solve the urgent problem.

When everyone went to bed, she carried the wooden bucket and watered all the seedlings, and also added water to the wooden trough in the chicken coop.

The big vat was not full. There was only a bucket of water that Ersha brought back. Zhao Qiqi added some water into it without making a sound. He couldn't fill it up because it would be noticed.

After finishing his work, Zhao Qiqi lay down.

I didn't sleep well that night. I had suddenly spent so much money and couldn't use the spiritual spring freely.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, chickens for sale."

The peddler from the town came to the village with chicks to sell, but there was no water now, so no one would buy the chicks. The peddler was starting to doubt his life. He had lowered the price, so why was no one buying?

Is it because today is the wrong day? No, it is not right. Logically, the rice is about to mature. Once it matures, it is a good choice to raise chickens for the New Year or sell them.

"Peddler, I want to buy some chicks."

The peddler turned around with tears in his eyes and walked over quickly with his bamboo pole.

"Auntie, how many chicks do you want?"

When Zhao Qiqi saw the peddler looking at him eagerly, he was immediately confused. What was going on?

"How many chicks are there?"

"Auntie, if you want more, I'll give you three cents each."
