I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

"I was just about to talk to everyone about this," Village Chief Li sighed. "How can we really exclude them? We've all lived in the same village for generations. Even if we don't give them face, we have to give their ancestors face."

"Besides, if we have any problems in the future, especially if we want to do something privately, and they are not with us, what if they spread rumors or even go to the authorities to sue us?"

Jiang Qinyu also considered what Village Chief Li said and nodded immediately, "That's right. Since Village Chief Uncle knows the answer, I won't say much. However, I still have something I'd like to ask Uncle for advice on."

"What's the matter? Are you having any difficulties after the family division? Just tell me if you have any problems. Your uncle is here!" Village chief Li started patting his chest before he even heard what the matter was.

Jiang Qinyu felt warm in her heart and smiled, "It's not a big deal. We just need to find someone to explore the hidden river we discovered in the mountains. And that valley, have Grandpa Jiang and his team built a water pump? Shouldn't we find a way to get that water back to irrigate the fields for autumn planting?"

"Look at me, I forgot to tell you," Village Chief Li slapped his head. "During the days you were away, Grandpa Jiang brought a few young men in the village who were willing to learn carpentry and made what you wanted according to the drawings you gave us. We've tested it, and it really can pump water from low places to high places!"

Village Chief Li became excited when he said this. "Just the day before yesterday, Grandpa Jiang took people into the mountains to install it in the valley! And there's something else you definitely haven't expected."

"The road to Yezhuping has been cleared by everyone. Now it only takes two hours to get there from the village!"

"Wild Boar Square?" Jiang Qinyu was stunned.

Village Chief Li quickly said, "That's the name we gave to the place where we found the wild boars fighting. We all call that valley the Tiger Valley, because it used to be the territory of tigers."

Jiang Qinyu's mouth twitched. Should she say this naming level is good or bad?

But when Jiang Qinyu heard that it would only take two hours to get there, she couldn't help but curl her lips. "The village chief is really capable. We've done so much in the few days we've been away."

"Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. It's a drought, and if we don't find a way to farm, what will we do when we can no longer find food in the mountains?" Village Chief Li sighed.

At present, the most abundant and convenient water source they can find is the lake in Tiger Valley. Although it will be hard work to irrigate the fields, as long as there is hope, the villagers are willing to endure this hardship.

"It's too hard for everyone to go into the mountains and carry water. We still have to find out as soon as possible where the underground river leads to our village. If it's not far away, I'll think of a way to divert the water out. Then the village won't have to worry about water for irrigation." Jiang Qinyu said seriously.

Village Chief Li nodded repeatedly, "That's what I meant, but Old Meng is the most skilled in our village right now, so he has to lead the way underground."

After all, no one knew whether there were any dangers underground, and he didn't dare let ordinary villagers go down rashly.

"There's another person who might be able to help Brother Meng." Jiang Qinyu said thoughtfully.

"Who?"

"Wang Bo," Jiang Qinyu said, looking at Village Chief Li, "He's been in the army for six years, so his skills are definitely better than those of ordinary people. With him and Brother Meng together, the others who follow will be much safer."

Village Chief Li pondered and said, "You're right. I guess I need to talk to everyone about joining us. I'll try to get Wang Bo and Lao Meng to lead the team down to explore the way tomorrow."

He was not worried at all that Jiang Qinyu would not be able to handle it after finding the place. He was only worried that the underground river was too far away from Dingshui Village.

"Okay, I'll go into the mountains with everyone tomorrow, but I won't go underground with them. I'll wait until Brother Meng and the others have explored the way first." Jiang Qinyu nodded.

After the matter was settled, Jiang Qinyu went home first.

When she got home, she saw Shufan and Pan'er just coming out of the house. They were rubbing their eyes in unison. When they opened their eyes and saw her, bright and innocent smiles immediately broke out on their faces.

"aunt!"

Jiang Qinyu stepped forward and touched their faces with a smile, "Did you sleep well? Go wash your face and hands, and eat first."

She wanted to go to the fields again in the afternoon. She turned on the tap a little in the morning and didn't know what the situation was like in the fields after most of the day.

However, this time Jiang Qinyu only increased the amount of water released into her own land and Old Man Lu's land, thinking of giving it a try first.

"Yu girl, your mother asked you to come over." Old man Lu shouted from next door.

Jiang Qinyu said something to the two children and quickly went to Old Lu's house.

Chen was devastated by the news Wang Bo brought back. She hadn't gone out to work for the past two days. When Jiang Qinyu saw her again, she felt that she had lost all her vitality.

"Mom, don't be too sad." Jiang Qinyu advised.

Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, and looking at her, she felt a surge of sadness. "A Zheng has been sensible and obedient since he was young, and he's also very capable. I thought he would accompany us until we grow old, but I didn't expect..."

As she spoke, Chen couldn't stop crying.

When Wang Bo didn't bring back any news, they still had some hope, always thinking that Lu Yanzheng would suddenly appear at the village entrance one day.

But Wang Bo said that when she saw Lu Yanzheng's body being burned with her own eyes, the last bit of fantasy in her heart was shattered.

When she thought of her second son Lu Yancai, Chen felt even more desperate.

Jiang Qinyu watched her crying and didn't know how to comfort her. At this moment, anything she said would be pale and powerless.

Chen cried for a while, and finally stopped. She wiped her tears and looked at Jiang Qinyu and said, "Although you and Zheng are married, you didn't consummate the marriage. Now you've separated. If you meet the right person in the future..."

Her voice began to choke. “If you meet the right person, just marry him!”

Jiang Qinyu was very embarrassed when she heard this. She waved her hand without thinking and said, "Mom, why are you saying this? Regardless of whether Brother Zheng will come back or not, I have never thought about getting married again."

She wished there were no men in her life. Now she had two little cuties, Shufan and Pan'er, and it was basically certain that Lu Yanzheng would not come back. This was simply her ideal life. She would be stupid to cause trouble for herself again.

"Although you and I are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I have always treated you as my own daughter. What woman doesn't get married? A Zheng is gone, and I know you are not feeling well, but our family is not so cruel as to ask you to stay with him..." Chen wanted to persuade her again.

Jiang Qinyu quickly said, "Mom, let's not talk about this for now. Please take care of yourself. I'm worried about Shufan and Pan'er at home. I'll go back and check on them first."

After saying that, she ran away quickly.

It’s really strange. Why did Chen start to persuade her to remarry just after she learned about Lu Yanzheng’s death?

After Jiang Qinyu left, Old Man Lu came in from outside and sighed, "Why are you doing this? I don't think Yu girl is that kind of person."

"I know she is not that kind of person, but regarding A Zheng's matter, I have to make sure before I dare to hand the things over to her." Chen said numbly.

Old Man Lu sat down beside the bed and said, "If you ask me, since A Zheng is gone, let's just forget about it and don't let anyone else know."
