The evil woman travels through the book and saves the sinners in the famine year

Chapter 24: Dig More Wells If There Is a Water Shortage

"Brother Jie, what's wrong with you?" Zuo Kexin asked with a slightly trembling voice, her eyes full of pain.

Obviously, he couldn't accept the fact that he was pushed away by Ning Shaojie.

Isn't this little thing usually the one that sticks to me the most?

She also said that she was better than Yan Baoyue and was the most suitable person to marry Brother Leng Zhou!

Facing Zuo Kexin's hurt eyes, Xiao Shaojie's face was full of struggle, but he didn't say anything.

The beautiful sister said that the refugees outside were exchanging their children for food. He had heard about this from his grandfather a few months ago, and he got goosebumps when he heard it.

But after all, he had never seen it, and he didn't have the same feeling, but today he heard the beautiful sister scolding him with a cold face.

Looking at the thin bodies of his mother and the people around him, he felt that he was really too bad to actually keep a dog!

Xiao Shaojie avoided Zuo Kexin's gaze, as if trying to escape the blaming eyes. At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"Sister Ning, do you also think I have bad intentions?" Seeing that the little thing ignored her, Zuo Kexin turned her face to the side and asked with a sob.

"I...I don't know." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Ning family said embarrassedly. She was the wife that Old Ning bought from outside.

She had been exploited by her family since she was a child, so she was as timid as a mouse. After marrying the eldest son of the Mojia Village elder, she put her husband first in everything.

She treated her son like the apple of her eye and tried her best to please her husband, son and everyone in the Ning family.

Although she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan elder, the villagers gave her face and never made things difficult for her, but she did not dare to be tough for fear of being disliked by others.

Seeing that no one spoke up for her, Zuo Kexin felt disappointed and heartbroken, with an indescribable sense of loss welling up in her heart.

Because her martial arts skills are the strongest among the girls, the boys, girls and children of the same age all obey her.

Thinking back to the days that were once filled with laughter and joy, they were shattered by this vixen in front of me today!

The vixen has only been in the village for one day and has already seduced children and foolish women. What will happen if this continues?

The more Zuo Kexin thought about it, the more frightened she became. She looked at Lu Zhitao with eyes that seemed to be invaded by pain, appearing helpless and fragile.

Like a flower struggling in a storm, it may wither at any time.

But she forced a smile and apologized, "Xiao Shaojie ignored Aunt Xin, did Aunt Xin do something wrong? I apologize to you."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and the women and children present wanted to feel sad for her.

An auntie said to Lu Zhitao dissatisfiedly: "Miss Lu, you are too cruel. How could you trick Xiao Shaojie into eating enough meat and make Ke Xin sad!"

"Sister-in-law Zuo is right. Miss Lu, you may not know this since you just arrived, but this dog grew up with Shaojie."

"Ms. Lu, you've been trying to sow discord as soon as you arrived. No wonder Sister Yue'er said you were a vixen." A young woman in her twenties rushed to Lu Zhitao and accused her.

Lu Zhitao swept his sharp, cold eyes over everyone, then asked calmly, "Little kid, tell us, am I wrong?"

Little Shaojie was frightened by Lu Zhitao's fierce eyes. Remembering his grandfather's usual teachings, he suddenly came to his senses.

He took a step forward, puffed out his chest and said loudly: "Sister Lu is right, it's all because of Jie'er who is ignorant, and you are even more ignorant.

Two months ago, didn’t my grandfather tell everyone that the refugees outside had no grass roots or tree bark to eat?

No matter how hungry they were, they were reluctant to eat their own children, so they took turns eating their children, which was called exchanging children for food.

Others are willing to eat even their own children during famine, but you advise me not to even eat dog meat.

Aunt Ke Xin still wants to drag me to find my grandfather. Isn’t she causing me to get beaten?

You guys are helping her blame Sister Lu. You're all bad people. You usually flatter me and spoil me, so how can you blame Sister Lu now? "

"..."

The village women and children widened their eyes in disbelief and looked at Ning Shaojie in unison.

They usually wanted to flatter the grandson of the Ning clan's eldest boss, but was it really okay for him to say that in public?

"Crackle, crackle." Lu Zhitao clapped, and Xiaoli and Mo Yunfei followed suit.

Little Shaojie walked to Lu Zhitao, tilted his little head and looked at her shyly and admiringly.

Yuan Zhen hurried over and heard applause, "Xiao Li, what happened?"

"Brother Yuan is here. You should skin the dog and stew it. I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time." Xiaoli happily walked forward and took Yuan Zhen's hand and said.

"Okay, I'll go skin the dog now. The white radishes in the field by the well have grown big, so I'll pick a few to stew with dog meat for you to try."

Yuan Zhen saw Xiaoli taking his hand actively, her eyes full of joy, and he said without asking why.

He completely forgot that he was called back to treat the dog. At this moment, his eyes were full of Xiaoli's smiling face.

"Xiao Shaojie, we have delicious dog meat stewed with radish. Haha... some people can't eat it!"

Xiaoli let go of Yuan Zhen and went to hold Ning Shaojie's hand. Compared with other children, Shaojie was much cleaner.

"Why can't we eat it?" The auntie just now asked Xiaoli loudly. She wanted to drool when she heard about dog meat stewed with radish.

"Didn't someone just say that my young lady is vicious? Dogs are so cute, how can you eat dog meat?"

Hearing Xiaoli's sarcastic words, Zuo Kexin felt that all the little thoughts in her heart had been exposed in front of her, and she had nowhere to hide.

At the moment when shame and anger surged up in her, she quickly convinced herself that there was nothing wrong with her wanting to drive the vixen out for her brother Leng Zhou!

Her face was pale, she bit her lower lip tightly, and whispered, "I didn't say dog meat can't be eaten, I just don't want to see Xiao Shaojie sad."

"Yuan Zhen, you said there are radishes planted by the well in your village?" Lu Zhitao confirmed with a little excitement.

She would not limit herself to jealousy. Her life goal was to keep herself well fed and clothed in years of famine, and to help others without any effort.

"If Miss Lu doesn't believe it, I can take you to see it." Yuan Zhen said while holding up the local dog.

"Since you know how to use well water for irrigation, why don't you plant more crops?"

"The well water is limited, and we dare not overuse it, for fear that we will not even have water to drink in the future." Ning Jia Dalang replied.

He was chopping trees with the village chief when he heard a child calling him and telling him that his son's dog had died suddenly and he was crying heartbreakingly.

He hurried over and saw his son holding Miss Xiaoli's hand, with a silly smile on his face.

"Even in a drought, if there are spring wells, the water can be used to irrigate crops. If there is a water shortage, we can dig more wells. Everyone has nothing to do anyway, so why not dig wells?"

"Yes, if there is a shortage of water, just dig a few more wells. Why didn't I think of that?" Mo Lengzhou agreed excitedly.

In fact, they had been digging wells everywhere, but they couldn't find water. As long as she was happy, he was still willing to dig.

Seeing children calling them one after another, he was afraid that she would be bullied, so he hurried over.
