In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Chapter 52: The village chief delivers cattle to the door! Mobile water truck!

"Auntie!"

"Just because I care about Lin Sanlang, you are so cruel that you want to take our whole family to migrate?" Wang Miaomiao shouted at Shen Qian.

Shen Qian saw the hoarse voice and the confusion and resentment in his eyes.

Only Shen Qian's calm and indifferent voice rang in their ears:

"If you don't want to migrate, then just stay home."

"All the family land will belong to those who stay behind."

"The mid-month rush harvest is over. If anyone wants to stay, please go and tell your Uncle Wang Quan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Wu and his companions immediately became nervous.

The family has dozens of acres of land. If one person inherits it, as long as he can survive this drought, he can become a rich man in a few years.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to marry a good wife?

Seeing their interested expressions, Shen Qian did not intend to tell them that the land had been sold.

After all, the Jia family will move south in the future.

The fields here will most likely be abandoned and will slowly turn into wasteland if not cultivated. By then, even if the northern border is recovered, I'm afraid the Jia family will not want them.

Besides, it is not easy to retake the northern border!

At least before her rebirth, Shen Qian had already lived in the south for several years and had never heard that the imperial court intended to send troops to retake the northern border.

Before noon, two oxen pulling a cart and several wheels arrived at the entrance of Wangjia Village.

Following behind them were nearly two hundred young and strong men, each carrying two large buckets in their hands.

Some people who were not strong enough carried the load on a shoulder pole.

"The cows are here!" the Jia family's housekeeper shouted loudly at the entrance of the village.

Soon the village chief Wang Dakuo was brought over.

Looking at the two strong cows, there was a bit more joy in his eyes.

He quickly said to Jia Shan beside him:

"Uncle Jia Shan led the people from Dawang Village and Liujia Village up the mountain to fetch water!"

"Remember to avoid the village and don't let them clash with the villagers!"

"Don't worry." Jia Shan waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him.

The people in Dawang Village and Liujia Village did not think anything was wrong.

There were hundreds of them walking in other people's villages in a large group. If they really lost something, they wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

It would be better to go out of the village. Anyway, we can just fetch some water and come back.

Watching Jia Shan lead the more than 200 young men away, Wang Dakuo drove the ox cart straight to Shen Qian's home.

Before anyone could get close, his loud voice spread!

"Wang Shen!"

"Come and choose a cow!"

When the neighbors heard the voice of the village chief Wang Dakuo, they all poked their heads out curiously.

When they heard that the village chief was going to give one of the two cows to Wang Shen, their eyes widened!

"The village chief didn't catch the fever, did he? He gave a mature, strong bull directly to Shen Qian?"

"Doesn't this mean that it will be included in the clan's public property?"

"What's so hard to understand? The water itself was discovered by Wang Shen. If it weren't for Wang Shen, we would probably be dying of thirst now."

"That being said...it's a cow, so why not let people be sour!"

"..."

Village chief Wang Dakuo frowned as he listened to the discussions around him.

When he saw someone speaking for Shen Qian, his frown finally relaxed.

At the same time, he also supported Wang Shen and shouted at those jealous women:

"If you can also work for the welfare of the villagers, I, Wang Dakuo, will never let you down!"

"Our clan has always been united."

"Your boss should have talked about the migration yesterday."

"From now on, don't dare to say anything that will destroy the unity of our tribe!"

The women who were scolded by Wang Dakuo all lowered their heads.

As Wang Dakuo said, they had to admit that they had received favors from Wang Shen.

There is no reason to be jealous of the Wang Shen family having another cow now.

Shen Qian came out of the house and was shocked when she saw the two cows that the village chief Wang Dakuo had brought.

"Uncle Dakuo, what are you doing...?"

"This is for you. If the village wants just one, I'll give this one to you!" Wang Dakuo said straightforwardly, pointing to the cow that looked the strongest among them.

"No! No!" Shen Qian waved her hands repeatedly:

"I said I'd give the cow to the clan, so it's for the clan. If I ask for it again, how will others view me, the Wang Shen family, if the news gets out?"

Seeing Wang Shen's refusal, the neighbors felt even more guilty.

He is such a noble person that he did not want the cow he got and forced it to be used by the tribe. Yet they are still jealous of others who got cows as gifts from the village chief. Damn it!

"Don't refuse, there are still wheels..." Wang Dakuo paused, looked up and saw Wang You and Wang Liang sitting in the yard, and shouted to them:

"Come and take the wheel off!"

"Drive the cows into your pigpen too!"

"Ah...Okay!" Wang You and Wang Liang finally woke up from their shock and ran excitedly to the village chief Shen Dakuo. One of them led the cow to the pigpen, and the other one removed the wheel.

After bidding farewell to the village chief, Shen Qian looked at the extra cow in her pigpen and sighed inwardly:

It can't really be a monopoly, right?

Although he has the support of the village chief, his family property is too large, so it is inevitable that someone will have bad intentions on the road.

Thinking of this, Wang Mang came in from his yard carrying two buckets of water.

He also shouted to Shen Qian:

"Auntie!"

"The bucket is here!"

Correct!

Bucket! Shen Qian reacted and a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face!

There was nothing special to carry on our ox cart. It was just some clothes, quilts, food, pots and pans, but all these things were enough for one ox cart.

The remaining two cows can be used to build a larger special ox cart.

Let them be responsible for fetching water for the tribe to prevent some members from dying from lack of water during migration.

Thinking of this, Shen Qian shouted to Wang You and Wang Liang:

"Wang You, Wang Liang, come here!"

Hearing their mother's call, Wang You and Wang Liang, who were in the front yard, hurried over.

Carefully asked:

"Mother, what's the matter?"

"Tear down the two ox carts at home, put them together, and make the bottom double-layer boards thicker to bear the weight." Shen Qian said to the two of them, picked up a small branch beside her, and started drawing on the ground.

"It should look like this all around, stand it up." Shen Qian said, and drew the appearance of a cart in the future.

It is also divided into several views and explained in detail.

Wang You and Wang Liang were shocked.

My mother...can actually draw!

No wonder there was so much carpentry work at home when my grandfather was alive. It turns out that all of my grandfather’s so-called fresh and creative ideas came from my mother!

"Can you do it?" Shen Qian asked with a frown, looking at Wang You and Wang Liang who were stunned.

I was secretly worried: Could it be that they couldn't understand it even after it was painted like this? That would be too stupid, right?

No wonder there has been no carpentry work since they inherited their grandfather's carpentry skills.

After hearing Amu's question, Wang You and Wang Liang finally reacted and nodded firmly.

"You can give it a try!"

"It's just six wheels, isn't that a bit too much?"
