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

After returning home, the village head became more and more frightened. If Liushu Village could pollute their water this time, then if they poisoned it next time, the entire Xiahe Village would suffer.

I thought about it over and over but couldn't come up with a good solution, so I walked around the house in frustration.

Seeing Youxi touching the slingshot with a sad face, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head. Cheng Liang's wife is knowledgeable and there must be a way!

After hearing what the head of the village said, Lin felt a little angry.

Stealing water can be said to be for survival, but polluting the water is a psychological distortion.

The village head kept muttering, "Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but we are not. The whole village depends on this saliva to survive. You must think of a way."

Lin couldn't think of a solution for a moment. It was okay to let her earn money, but facing a group of evil people, she couldn't fight violence with violence. She had to let the whole village fight to the death.

However, everyone in Xiahe Village has had rosy complexions recently due to all the food they eat, so they should be able to win.

The headman was still mumbling, and then he got angry again. He slammed the table, and the cups fell to the ground. Lin quickly caught the cups.

Looking at the water spilling out of the cup, Lin suddenly had an idea.

"Since they are not afraid of those wearing shoes when they are barefoot, if we let them wear shoes, they will no longer worry about us."

The village head seemed to understand: "What do you mean?"

"We share the same mountain, so there should be more than one source of water."

Li Zheng's beard stood up in anger: "They treat us like this, why should we help them find water? I won't agree!"

Lin was afraid that he would get angry again and cause harm, so she helped him sit aside.

"Everyone's life was difficult before, and no one envied anyone else. But now our village is different. We have both food and water, and the crops in the fields are growing better and better every day. In just over a month, we'll have the autumn harvest. Who wouldn't be envious?"

The village head puffed out his chest proudly and said, "If they are envious, then let the young men in the village marry a prosperous wife."

Lin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"It's too late to marry now."

The village head tilted his head and snorted, "Then let them be jealous."

"Our two villages are so close to each other, there's more than just jealousy."

The village head turned his head back and asked: "Do they dare to rob you?"

Lin blushed and coughed softly. The village head's wife couldn't stand it any longer and punched him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Normally, she would not say a word when the old man discussed things with the villagers, but this time she really couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin suppressed her smile and said seriously, "After the autumn harvest, our grain was dried all over the ground, and they had nothing to harvest. To survive, they must have come to our village to steal our grain."

"There's nothing starving people wouldn't dare to do. At that point, they'll be like wild beasts in the mountains. Even if we win, they'll still bite off a chunk of our flesh."

The village head was conflicted. He understood the reason, but he just couldn't bear it.

"Then let them have a drink of water for free?"

Why? After Liushu Village wasted the village’s water, they still have to help those bastards find water.

Lin smiled: "Who said to give it to them for free? That would be too good-tempered."

The headman then smoothed his beard, which was almost the same.

"But can Willow Village afford the money?"

Forget about money, even if we need ten kilograms of grain, it would be hard for the whole village to come up with it.

Lin smiled and shook her head: "No money, didn't County Magistrate Wang already set the price?"

"You mean... twelve acres?"

Lin nodded.

Exchanging twelve acres of land for a spring of water is not a loss. The most important thing is that Liushu Village can afford it.

The head of the village stood up and took two steps. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea. The most abundant thing in the village was land. Even in Xiahe Village, there were hundreds of acres of abandoned arable land that no one cultivated.

If someone told him now that he could exchange ten acres of land for a well, he would definitely be happy!

"I'm going to talk to the head of Liushu Village right now."

Lin stopped him and said, "Don't worry, Jingwen and I will go over there first. If there is a water source, we will talk to the people in Liushu Village."

"Yes, yes, let's go and have a look first to be safe." Li Zheng walked a few steps in the house. The people in Liushu Village were not polite, and Lin couldn't be allowed to go alone.

"I have to call a few young men to protect you. No, no, I have to go too."

Lin and Jingwen are the eyes and ears of Xiahe Village, and there must be no mistakes. The young people in the village are not doing their job well, so he has to take charge personally.

The village head went to call people, and Lin also went home to call people.

Cui Jingwen was a cover, the one who was really useful was his daughter Cui Zhaozhao.

When Cui Zhaozhao heard that he could get another twelve acres of land, he was so happy that he took five taels of silver and went out.

Five taels of silver in exchange for twelve acres of land, this deal is a must-win.

The head of the village called over ten of the most imposing young men in the village at once. They were all strong and powerful, and when they stood there they were like a wall.

Dazhi and Cui Chengliang were also among them.

When he heard that they were looking for water for Liushu Village, Dazhi's face became distorted with anger.

"It's not like we can't beat them, so why should we put up with this? If the villagers knew about this, they would definitely poke us in the back and call us cowards."

The village head has now figured out why they are giving up their good life and fighting a life-and-death battle with Liushu Village.

What's more, we have to be on guard against revenge from Liushu Village every day. If Liushu Village burns all the crops before the autumn harvest, we will have no place to cry.

Lin was thoughtful enough to find them a well. Now that they had land to farm, they had no time to worry about Xiahe Village.

The village head rolled his eyes at Dazhi in anger: "Is there nothing else on your mind except fighting and killing? Learn from Cheng Liang, marry a good wife and grow your brain."

When Cui Chengliang heard this, his originally angry face suddenly turned red and he turned his head away in embarrassment.

Dazhi touched his head and said: "My Honglai is about to get married, so I won't get married."

The village head glared at him and said, "Then you should pick a good wife for Hong Lai."

Dazhi stared and thought for a while, then turned and smiled at Cui Chengliang.

"Third brother, we have such a good relationship, do you want to become in-laws?"

The village head is right. My third brother married a good wife, and the daughter she taught will definitely be good too.

When Lin and Cui Zhaozhao heard this, they immediately turned around and looked at Cui Chengliang.

Cui Chengliang said calmly: "It's not that good."

Dazhi yelled, "You discovered water a few days ago, and I was the first person you told!"

"Then I'll keep my mouth shut next time."

Lin and Cui Zhaozhao turned their heads back, trying not to laugh.

It takes another half hour to walk up the chestnut forest to the top of the mountain. On the other side of the mountain is Liushu Village.

The view from the top of the mountain is wide, and Liushu Village is in full view.

From a distance, I saw a group of people from the village walking out, and the first few people in the team were carrying a roll of straw mat.

Cui Zhaozhao had never seen such a scene before: "What is going on?"

The village head's voice was a little dry: "Someone died in the village and they are burying him."

The funeral procession looked numb, an expression not seen in Xiahe Village.

Yes, they have no worries about food and drink, the future is bright, and life is everywhere they look. The old people who were originally waiting to die without food or water are struggling to live a few more years after hearing that there is water in the village. How can they be so disheartened?

Anyone who becomes a ghost must have first experienced being eaten by a ghost.
