Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

The five children in the west room were huddled together.

"... Fourth Brother dug a hoe down, and guess what happened?" Wu Lang stretched out his arms exaggeratedly, "... He dug such a big hole in the stone, and then the water came out right away."

"Fourth brother is so powerful, just like the strongman in the opera." Xiao Qi's eyes were full of admiration.

Wu Lang's words can only scare Xiao Qi. Although there is some exaggeration in them, it does not affect their pride in Si Lang.

"Since you have contributed, I won't mind that you dislike me." Lidong generously forgave his fourth brother.

Jiro was pleased: "Well done."

Si Lang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Actually, I just contributed. It's mainly because Third Aunt and Third Brother are so capable. The mountain is so huge, they can tell where the water source is at a glance."

Well, my second sister has good hearing too.

He also listened secretly, but could not hear anything.

"Aunt San is really nice. She even helped me wipe the sweat off my face." Wu Lang said in a low voice.

Their mother always asked them to steal things, and they all knew that no one in the village liked them.

But today was different. Later, many aunts smiled at him.

He knew it was because of his third aunt.

"We must remember the kindness of Third Aunt." Erlang acted like the eldest brother in the family.

In fact, these children were all raised by Erlang. Their parents were not as important as their second brother, and they would listen to whatever their second brother said.

Si Lang patted his chest loudly: "Don't worry, Second Brother, we promise not to offend Third Aunt. From now on, I will do whatever Third Aunt says."

"Me too." Goro followed closely.

Erlang was both relieved and sad.

The entire Cui family was proud of it, the only one who was unhappy was Feng.

Originally, she felt that the house was much quieter after those evil creatures left. However, she was not happy for more than two days before everything started to feel awkward.

Not only did she have to cook with a big belly, but she didn't even have firewood, so she had to go out and collect it herself.

Those lazy guys in the village actually picked up all the firewood at the foot of the mountain.

She wouldn't have sprained her ankle climbing the mountain, and everyone bullied her, saying they were all lazy people who had no eyes to see after giving birth to a child.

After she came back, she had a stomachache for the whole day, it was so painful.

After chewing raw chestnuts for two days, Feng finally couldn't stand it anymore. She endured the pain in her feet and limped up the mountain.

The deep mountains, which were rarely visited before, are now crowded with people.

"You gave birth to two wonderful sons. We all have to thank them."

"Why tell her? Those kids have already moved back to the Cui family's old house."

"Look at me, I'm so happy that I can't talk to her. Let's go wash some clothes."

Feng didn't hear any useful information, but was filled with sarcasm, and she was so angry that her face turned green.

Finally, I learned what happened on the mountain through the gossip of passers-by.

Those two evil bastards, Silang and Wulang, actually dug out water from the mountain!

These people on the mountain were laying ditches to bring water down the mountain, and the whole village would drink the water dug by her son.

No one told her such a big thing!

She said that having a son was useful, and they laughed at her, saying that if it weren't for her, they would die of thirst without even a sip of water!

Feng picked up firewood angrily, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

"Discovering the water source is such a great contribution, but I wonder what kind of reward the county will give you." A woman behind him murmured softly.

Feng turned around and found that Widow Qin had stood behind her without her knowing when.

Feng disliked her very much, so naturally she didn't look happy.

"I don't know. If you're curious, ask the village head."

Widow Qin smiled lightly and picked up a piece of firewood and handed it to her.

Feng frowned, took the firewood and put it into the backpack.

Don't want it for nothing.

"I heard that the price of a bucket of water in the county has risen to 6 wen. In other villages, you need half a jin of grain to buy two buckets of water."

"The spring water that Silang and Wulang discovered is said to be sweet and clear. If they were to carry it to the county, I'm afraid there would be plenty of people buying it at ten cents a bucket. These two kids are honest too, to give away so much money for nothing."

Widow Qin was talking to herself, and sure enough, Feng's expression changed.

"My son found the water, why should I give it to him for free? This is our water!"

Widow Qin tucked her hair behind her ears and sighed, "Yeah, I heard it was Lin who made the decision and called the village head over. Didn't you hear the villagers praising her to the skies?"

Feng couldn't help it, so she stood up immediately. Her ankle hurt and she fell on her butt, screaming in anger.

"She's trying to steal the credit for my son's work. I've long seen that she's scheming."

If you want to praise someone, praise her.

Why is it the Lin family?

Widow Qin pursed her lips and said, "When the county's reward comes, I'm afraid it will all fall on the Lin family. I don't know what they can give me, but at least they will get two acres of land."

Two mu of land can be sold for six taels of silver, that's a lot of grain!

Thinking of the few chestnuts left at home, Feng couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to find the head of the village and not let Lin take all the benefits.

As for Silang and Golang, we will deal with them later.

Looking at Feng's limping back, Widow Qin smiled.

Ever since Mrs. Lin told the villagers about the chestnut forest, Mrs. Wu, who had always helped her, no longer paid any attention to her, and her life became increasingly difficult.

She had never hated someone so much.

She held on to the position of Cheng Liang's wife and was always lucky. It was obviously she who discovered Li Zilin first, but because Lin was too talkative, she became the evil person who got all the food for herself.

Wouldn’t it be better to hide it and eat it yourself?

If we distribute it to the villagers, everyone will still go hungry after eating it. It’s enough to just eat your own food and don’t care what they do.

There was not a single day that Widow Qin didn't want Lin to get out of Xiahe Village.

Lin is her nemesis!

"Ah!"

On the way to the headman's house, Lin sneezed for no reason. Thinking of the oriole, she rubbed her nose and quickened her pace.

The village head had just returned from the mountain. As expected, he was too old to be very useful. He helped to lift some stones and nearly broke his waist.

"You really think you're still young, but you don't even consider whether your old bones are strong enough. You have no idea at all."

The village head's wife kept chattering, but her hands were gently rubbing the village head's waist.

The village head was very depressed, but when he thought of the big project on the mountain that required the efforts of the entire village, he felt motivated again.

"You don't understand. Just look at our village. Counting back a few generations, which headman has ever achieved such great things?"

The head of the village couldn't help but feel proud. This kind of good thing that has lasted for generations must not be buried in the dust.

"Go ahead and carve this onto my tombstone."

The village head's wife was stunned for a moment and slapped him hard on the waist.

"Pah, pah, pah, what unlucky words are you saying."

“It hurts, it hurts, ouch!”

The headman's wife curled her lips and continued to rub her hands.

"The fact that this was accomplished is also thanks to Cheng Liang's wife. If she hadn't led the children to find water, even if our village was covered with ditches, we wouldn't have gotten a drop of water. Old man, we can't steal the credit from the children."

"I'm just saying this..." Li Zheng muttered.

If he didn't rob when he was alive, shouldn't he be able to gain face after his death?

The official's position can still be raised after his death.
