It was originally a joke, but Aunt Song, who happened to be out, heard it and chimed in, "That's right. A few days ago, the Qian family from Xiushui on the other side sent someone to propose marriage, and they were ready to come and take a look."

The pride and joy in her tone were self-evident.

As a mother, I am naturally happy to see my daughter grow up so beautiful.

But at this moment, this sudden news may have been publicly discussed before it has been deeply considered.

Upon hearing the news, Song Chunhua shook her head rapidly like a rattle.

"No, I don't want to go on a blind date. I want to live with Auntie San!"

She stated her position firmly, with a hint of nervousness and even fear in her voice.

Faced with the sudden moment of life choice, the young girl deep down desires to maintain her current stable and warm life rather than rush into the unknown.

This made Jiang Jinhe laugh.

How can I live alone?

Such an arrangement seems unrealistic from any perspective.

Despite this, out of love, she decided to stand up and fight for more free choice for her friend's child. "Mom, Chunhua is still young. It's not too late for her to wait a few more years before getting married."

On the one hand, this is because Song Chunhua is indeed young and needs further growth in social experience and mental maturity; on the other hand, Jiang Jinhe has discovered through daily observation that this little girl is particularly capable of doing things - whether it is daily chores or her performance when working outside, she has demonstrated a sense of responsibility beyond her age and extremely high efficiency.

Therefore, Jiang Jinhe believes that it is necessary to provide proper guidance and training so that they can play a greater role in the development of the family business in the future.

After all, when the business grows bigger in the future, it will be more reassuring to rely on our own family to manage it.

Not long after, the village chief Li Congyi also came.

The old village chief was usually loved by the villagers, but at this moment he looked worried.

"Mrs. San, you have to help the villagers in our village and find a solution!"

Li Congyi twisted his beard and said anxiously.

One can clearly see in his eyes the enormous pressure and heavy sense of responsibility that a leader faces.

"You don't know, spring is coming and it's time to plant the crops. Various taxes, irrigation fees, and annual corvée labor all cost money."

In an almost pleading tone, he explained to the other party the series of challenges that the village would soon face.

These expenses combined will place a huge burden on many families. If appropriate countermeasures are not found, it may affect everyone's plans for the production of the most important crops of the year.

"If the village can't find other ways to make a living, it will be difficult for us to survive."

The old village chief sighed, his tone full of helplessness and worry.

Jiang Jinhe also found it strange to hear the old village chief speak so seriously.

These villagers could survive without her when they were at the frontier, so why are they suddenly assigned a big task to her now?

This made her feel a little confused.

As the old saying goes, if you are too capable, you have to bear more responsibilities!

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinhe felt happy and felt that he could indeed do something.

She was thinking happily in her heart, and suddenly remembered something that had always worried her - the problem of drinking water in the village.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a sense of urgency and realized that this problem must be solved as soon as possible.

At this moment, she immediately thought of the Fang Family Restaurant's need to buy beans.

"Village chief, I can talk to the Fang family and ask them to purchase beans from our village."

Jiang Jinhe said, "In addition to growing grain, fellow villagers can also grow some beans to make some money. What do you think?"

Li Congyi was not satisfied with this idea.

He frowned, thinking about the possibility of this matter.

It’s so great to make dried tofu. You can do business every day and get timely returns.

Growing beans is different. You can only harvest them once a year, and you may not be able to sell them.

After all, villagers have to pay taxes on the grain they grow, keep a portion for themselves, and use the remaining land to grow beans.

How much silver can be exchanged for this?

But it's a solution after all, better than nothing.

Li Congyi pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.

"Well, we'll have to wait until spring."

Li Congyi had just agreed when he heard Jiang Jinhe drop another bombshell.

"Village Chief, do you know that people in Xiushui'an don't live past forty?"

She asked, a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her tone.

The old village chief was startled, looked around, and then spoke in a low voice.

"How did you know this? The authorities have forbidden any mention of it."

There was a hint of fear and caution in his words.

As soon as Jiang Jinhe saw Li Congyi's expression, she knew she had guessed right.

No matter what, the village chief is a member of the ruling class. Even if they know about this kind of thing, they will not tell the public.

"Village Chief, no matter how I know."

She said firmly, "The key is that I now have a way to solve this problem, so that the people in our village will not be affected by this so-called curse."

Upon hearing this, Li Congyi's originally nervous expression instantly turned into surprise, as if he had suddenly seen something incredible, which made people curious.

"Do you have any idea?"

The old village chief stood up suddenly, his beard trembling with excitement. There was an unconcealable glimmer of expectation in his eyes, as if he saw some hope.

He asked anxiously, his voice trembling a little, afraid of missing any details.

"Tell me quickly, what is the cause? Is there any solution?"

Jiang Jinhe calmly re-explained what he had said to Song Dadi before. After each sentence, he would look up at the other person's expression to make sure they understood what he meant.

Li Congyi, who was listening to all this, nodded repeatedly in agreement. It was obvious that her explanation was very convincing.

"Village head, my suggestion is to quickly organize the villagers to dig a well. From now on, no one will drink the water from the stream anymore. Even for farming, only well water can be used. The stream water can only be used for bathing and washing clothes."

She spoke very seriously, as if she was discussing something very important, her eyes were firm and her tone was unquestionable.

In order to convince everyone that her words were indeed credible, Jiang Jinhe decided to take action and led the village chief directly to a secret location next to the bathroom.

There was a wooden board covering the area, but when it was lifted up, a newly dug well was revealed.

Just as she had guessed, there were abundant water resources hidden beneath the land of Xiushui'an.

According to Jiang Jinhe, Song Dadi discovered the water source after digging about fifteen meters underground, which fully proves that this is indeed an ideal location for digging a well.
