After the marriage was broken off, the whole village next door regretted it

"Okay, okay, Xiong Kai, if you can really solve this problem safely, I will agree to your marriage with Chunxiang." Mo Laotian said gritting his teeth.

Before, because he was afraid of gossip, he didn't dare to nod his head easily even though he knew what his daughter was thinking. Now, he feels that marrying his daughter off quickly is the only way to avoid all the gossip. The conditions of the Xiong family are indeed not as good as those of their Mo family, but they are much better than those of the Shen family.

Xiong Kai suppressed his inner excitement and promised solemnly, "Uncle, don't worry, I will go to Shenjiazhuang right away."

Ximen Village is farther from Shenjiazhuang than Dongmen Village. It was already past noon when Xiong arrived at Shenjiazhuang. He asked the villagers about Shen Yi's residence, but when he arrived, he found that Shen Yi was not at home. The nearby villagers also didn't know where Shen Yi had gone.

He was so anxious that he could only squat outside Shen Yi's house and wait until the evening when someone came to talk to him.

"Who are you?" Xu, carrying a basket, looked at Xiong Kai suspiciously.

Xiong Kai stood up immediately and said, "I'm here to look for Shen Yi. Does Auntie know where he went?"

"Are you looking for Shen Yi? Which village is he from? Are you here to dig wells too?" Xu immediately revealed Xiong Kai's purpose.

Xiong Kai was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, but he did not dare to say Ximen Village directly.

Xu didn't care and just said, "You're late. Ever since our Shen Yi helped Dongmen Village and Zhongmen Village dig a well, even the heads of other villages have been alarmed. Everyone is vying to ask our Shen Yi to dig a well. I don't even know which village he is in now. Where can I find him?"

Xiong Kai's face darkened, "Are you his family member?"

Xu nodded proudly, "I'm his second aunt, what's wrong?"

Xiong Kai seemed to be thinking about something, and stuffed a small bag of wild vegetables into Xu's pocket. "Can you ask Second Aunt to help me ask, I really have something urgent to do to find Shen Yi."

Xu was in a dilemma. For the sake of wild vegetables, she gave him a solution. "I can't find Shen Yi, but the head of Qingsha Township should know. After all, Shen Yi is working with the Su family in Dongmen Village this time, and the head of the township is also from Dongmen Village."

Xiong Kai not only did not show any joy when he heard this, but his expression became even uglier, "The Su family of Dongmen Village?"

Mrs. Xu nodded. "Yes, his name is Su Chunlin. You can find out if you ask around. If I don't tell you, I have to go back to cook."

Xiong Kai was so shocked by the news that he couldn't recover for a while. By the time he reacted, Xu was gone.

He had no choice but to go back angrily.

Gao Zhi went to the house to inquire as soon as he received the news.

Xiong Kai had already thought of the words, and said helplessly: "Village head, uncles, I went to his house in person, but I couldn't find him. Second Aunt Shen Yi said that he is now famous, and even other township heads are vying for him to help dig wells. Second Aunt Shen Yi doesn't even know where he is. I really can't do anything!"

"How could this happen!" An old man sighed and sat down on the ground in despair. "Is it true that God does not want us people in Ximen Village to live?"

Gao Zhi's face changed, and he scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Since we can't find Shen Yi, we will fight on our own. I heard that Zhongmen Village also fought on its own at the beginning. The whole village was dug up and riddled with holes. You are just anxious with words, but no one is working!"

A relatively young man laughed awkwardly, "We're just afraid of wasting our efforts! What if we can't dig anything out? We'll all work so hard and drink so much water that we won't even have enough to drink at home."

"Then just wait to die of thirst!" Gao Zhi was so angry that he spoke without thinking.

There is a lot of unpleasantness in Ximen Village because of the well digging issue.

In Dongmen Village, thanks to the efforts of the villagers, a well that can produce water was dug.

Su Changxi looked at the well, and the heavy stone on his chest was instantly lifted. He laughed wildly at Su Changfu, "Brother, our village has two wells like this, it's stable!"

Because the previous well had little water, the water accumulated overnight was only enough for the villagers to distribute the next day. There was no more water. Fortunately, there was always water and it never stopped. But he was still worried, fearing that the well would run out of water that day and the villagers would fall into a water shortage crisis again. Now that there is another well, he can finally rest assured and maybe he can even save the crops in the fields.

Seeing his brother happy, Su Changfu couldn't bear to pour cold water on him at this time. After Su Changxi calmed down, he said in a deep voice: "It's a good thing that we have two wells here. There is also a well in Zhongmen Village. There will be no trouble for the time being. Only Ximen Village..."

Speaking of Ximen Village, Su Changxi immediately frowned, "What are they trying to do?"

Su Changfu sighed and shook his head. "It's not that they are making trouble, but their village hasn't pumped out any water yet. The water they used to save by trickery is probably going to run out soon. If this continues, I will have to step in to solve the problem. And if our village digs two wells at this time, do you think they will make trouble?"

He also hated the people in Ximen Village, but he was the village chief after all! He couldn't just watch the villagers in his village die because of lack of water.

Su Changxi curled his lips unhappily, "The fact that our village was able to dig a well is the result of the villagers' hard work. Brother, even if you are the village head, you can't give up this well. The villagers will definitely not agree."

"I know that too!" Su Changfu looked worried.

Seeing Su Tai joining in the fun, he hurried over and asked gently, "Xiao Tai, where are your father and Shen Yi now? Uncle wants to ask them for help."

Su Tai smiled sweetly at Su Changfu and replied crisply, "My father and Brother Shen went to Panlong Township, which is not far away. However, the head of Panlong Township said that they can only come back after my father and Brother Shen help them dig a well. My father took two taels of silver from them, and he can't come back if he can't dig water!"

Su Changfu suddenly became anxious, "How could they do this? It's outrageous!"

Su Tai shook her head. "Uncle, it's my father who is wrong. He took on so many tasks and asked for money. It's reasonable that he won't leave until the job is done."

Su Tai was speechless when talking about this matter. Ever since water was dug out in Zhongmen Village, Su Chunlin had been enthusiastic and blindly confident. He insisted on working with Shen Yi, under the pretext of helping Shen Yi. However, he could not help at all and always liked to take the limelight and speak for Shen Yi.

At first, she helped to purchase the rights to use a spring, of course, because the village was really at the end of its rope.

Unexpectedly, after the second success, Su Chunlin went even further. In order to teach him a lesson, Su Tai decided not to intervene and just watched them do whatever they wanted.

She never expected that without her help the third time, the two men actually managed to dig a well with a considerable amount of water output. The duo became completely famous.

It just so happened that Panlong Township was hit by a severe drought, and the township head had no choice but to place all her hopes on Shen Yi and Su Chunlin. Su Chunlin took on too much responsibility as before, and she watched coldly from the sidelines, not planning to take action early and let them suffer a setback first.

"But what about Ximen Village... Oh! What should we do?" Su Changfu frowned so hard that he almost crushed a fly.
