My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

"Sister-in-law, do you think we should tell the villagers about this pond? The river and well in the village have been dry for a long time. I guess everyone doesn't have much water at home. Water can save lives at this time."

Lin Qingxue said seriously that she was willing to tell others about the pond. The villagers had helped their family a lot, and she couldn't just watch the villagers die of thirst and do nothing.

"Sister-in-law, Qingxue is right. Although there are a few families in the village who are not close to ours, generally speaking, we all have the same ancestor, and many people are within the fifth degree of mourning," Liu Jiali also echoed.

"Then Furong, go back and tell Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom about the pond and see what they think. We'll stay here to watch over Qingxue while she fills the treasure's container with water first. How about that?"

Li Yanniang thought of the uncles and aunts in the village and couldn't say no. She had been married to the Lin family for sixteen years and knew clearly how the villagers treated her family. But with so many children of her own, even with her sister-in-law's precious child as a backup, she didn't dare to say no. She could only leave the decision to the men in the family.

"Okay, then I'll go home now," Fang Furong smiled. Such important matters should be decided by the elders and men in the family!

Sisters Liu Jiali and Lin Qingxue both had the same idea. After Fang Furong left, Lin Qingxue took out all the large water tanks in the treasure and also took out four wooden barrels.

Lin Qingxue looked at her two sisters-in-law and Lin Qingyue and said, "Before my second sister-in-law and the others come over, let's fill these eight large water tanks with water first."

"Okay, let's get to work!" Li Yanniang and the other two nodded, and each of them picked up a wooden bucket and started drawing water into the water tank.

The four people worked very efficiently. Each person was responsible for two water tanks. In about half an hour, the eight water tanks were filled with water. Lin Qingxue then put the full water tanks into the space.

Closing his eyes and looking at the space, Lin Qingxue found a suitable location in the stream and sank the bottom of the stream five meters deep.

As the bottom of the stream sank, the water on the flat ground instantly flowed back to the sinking area. Seeing that this method was effective, she sank the rest of the stream to a depth of five meters again.

Seeing the almost dried-up stream, Lin Qingxue reached her hands into the pool and tried to lead the water in the pool into the stream in the space.

As Lin Qingxue's mind moved, the water in the stream in the space slowly increased, while the water in the pool slowly decreased, but the amount of decrease was almost negligible.

After the stream in the space was filled with water, Lin Qingxue withdrew her hands. Looking at the pool which was now one-third empty, she smiled. This time she didn't have to worry about having no water to drink while fleeing from the famine.

Li Yanniang, Liu Jiali and Lin Qingyue watched Lin Qingxue perform her magical skills. No one said a word, but just kept watch for her.

Although I cannot bear to watch the villagers starve to death or die of thirst, if I have to sacrifice my own family members' lives in exchange for the villagers' survival, it would be better for them to die.

Therefore, Li Yanniang, Liu Jiali and Lin Qingyue all agreed with Lin Qingxue's approach. They were willing to help others when they had spare time, but they were unwilling to exchange their own family members for theirs.

For them, family is the most important thing.

Lin Qingxue found an open space beside the pond to sit down and rest. They were a little tired from fetching water, so they could take a break while no one came over.

On the other side, Fang Furong came down the mountain alone and returned home. She saw Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin sitting in the yard, watching the children playing with a smile on their faces, while Aunt Lin sat beside them making clothes for the children, and Uncle Lin was doing carpentry work in the backyard with the four brothers Lin Qingming.

Seeing Fang Furong coming back, Aunt Lin hurriedly asked, "Second daughter-in-law, why are you back at this time? Is there something wrong?"

"Grandma, Mom, Qingxue found a pond. It looks like there's quite a lot of water. My sister-in-law and the others asked me to come back and ask if we should tell the villagers."

Fang Furong did not hide anything and told the truth. After the elders made a decision, she had to go back and reunite with her sister-in-law and the others!

"Second son's wife, go to the backyard and call your father and the others over, let's discuss it together," Old Man Lin thought for a while after hearing this. This matter involved serious consequences, so it would be better for the whole family to discuss it.

Fang Furong nodded, got up and went to the backyard, and quickly called Uncle Lin and the other three over. After they arrived, Uncle Lin repeated what Fang Furong had just said.

"Second daughter-in-law, tell me what your sister-in-law and Qingxue mean. What do they think?"

Uncle Lin paused. The first thing he had to do was to tell the villagers about this matter. Otherwise, if the time really came, only his family would have water while other families would have no water. Would his family still be able to survive?

"My sister-in-law and Qingxue mean that we can tell the villagers about the pond, but Qingxue will first fill all the containers in the treasure with water, and then distribute the rest to the villagers. Then, when I lead you to fetch water, we can bring all the wooden barrels at home to fetch water and use them."

Fang Furong smiled as she told the result of their discussion on the mountain. They all agreed with Uncle Lin that they had to keep a low profile and not become the target of public criticism in the village.

"Okay, then let's do as you wish. Qingming Dad, go tell your uncle about the pond. The four eldest brothers, take the water buckets from home and wait for your uncle's grandfather to give you news. Then let the second brother's wife lead the way and take you up the mountain to fetch water."

Old Man Lin didn't say anything after he finished speaking. Uncle Lin and the others naturally agreed with Old Man Lin's proposal. Although their family had the water collected by Lin Qingxue, they were still short of water and could not leave any loopholes for others.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to my cousin about this now," Uncle Lin nodded, stood up and was about to go to the village chief's house.

Old Man Lin and the village chief are cousins. They have always had a good relationship, even closer than brothers.

Therefore, when Old Man Lin decided to let his eldest son go to the village chief to talk about this matter, he actually wanted to do a favor for the village chief.

Village chief Lin's family is better off than old man Lin's. The two families have helped each other to get to where they are today, so the relationship between the descendants of the two families is also very good.

The four Lin Qingming brothers stood up and walked quickly towards the kitchen and utility room. They carefully searched every corner, looking for a wooden barrel that could be used to carry water.

Soon, they found all the wooden barrels that could be used and put them neatly together. Then, they searched around and finally found the poles for carrying water. Although these poles were a bit worn out, they were still usable.

At the same time, Uncle Lin came out of his house. He walked with firm steps towards his cousin's house.
