Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

As it turned out, Shang Qing's conjecture was accurate.

Not two days after that incident, something else happened in the village.

Shang Qing was feeding the ducks in the backyard when she saw Lao Zong rushing back in a panic, looking for her everywhere.

"Shang Qing, Shang Qing, something terrible has happened...something terrible has happened!"

When Shang Qing saw Lao Zong, she noticed he was disheveled and couldn't help but laugh at his appearance: "Brother, where have you been? What happened?"

Lao Zong pulled her along and started walking away, explaining as they went, "I was just about to go up the mountain when I saw people from our village fighting with people from Peach Blossom Village. It seems to be about water, and they're still fighting there!"

As expected, something bad happened...

Shang Qing went with him, but was still somewhat confused: "Then what's the use of calling me? Why don't you go and call the village chief?"

"Of course I don't want you involved either, but the village chief went out early this morning. I heard from others that Lord Meng's health has improved, so he went to the county government to check on him. Apart from him, they probably only listen to what you have to say in this village."

Seeing Shang Qing looking around, Lao Zong knew she was looking for Gu Yu, so he said, "He's already there, but since he's not from this village, not many people listen to him. You should go quickly!"

When Shang Qing and Lao Zong arrived at the scene, the two sides were still fighting, and Gu Yu was also among them.

Shang Qing immediately shouted, "Stop it, all of you!"

The villagers naturally had to give Shang Qing face, so they all stopped. Seeing that a fight couldn't break out, the people from Peach Blossom Village gathered together. There were quite a few of them, and it seemed they were certain that the villagers had come to cause trouble today.

"Shang Qing, you've finally arrived! You were right before, these people are really going too far! They could have just brought some water, but now they've all come all over here, what do they take our village for!"

Hearing Uncle Wang's indignation, Shang Qing almost laughed; he hadn't said that just two days ago.

But all she could do for now was comfort her: "Alright, Uncle Wang, don't worry too much. After all, everyone meant well; they just didn't expect them to be so shameless."

When the people of Peach Blossom Village saw Shang Qing, they pointed at her and asked, "Who are you? Isn't the village chief here? Does your word count?"

Shang Qing frowned: "How did you know our village chief wasn't here?"

One of them interjected, "He went to the county government office to see Lord Meng with our village chief; we all know that!"

Shang Qing immediately pressed on: "So you deliberately came to cause trouble today because they were all away!"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again.

With a stern face, Shang Qing continued, "The idea of ​​digging ditches and canals was my own. You can tell me directly why you've come to our village today!"

The man leading the group from Peach Blossom Village stepped forward, and Gu Yu quickly shielded Shang Qing behind him.

"We don't want to fight you either, but you have to give us the right to use this spring water, otherwise nobody will have a good day!"

Wow, what a boastful tone!

Seeing that several villagers behind him were injured, Shang Qing's tone became even harsher: "You've already injured our people, and you still want the right to use the spring water? I don't know who gave you the audacity..."

"What's wrong? We're really going to force our way in today, let's grab the water first!"

The man gave a signal to the people behind him, and the villagers also looked ready to fight them to the death.

It's probably pointless to try and reason with them...

After pondering for a moment, Shang Qing said, "I had already guessed that you would come today, so I went to the yamen early this morning. I guess the people from the county yamen are already on their way."

The leader panicked: "How could that be? You must be lying! Brothers, don't believe this woman!"

Shang Qing, however, remained remarkably calm, even laughing: "Believe it or not, you'll find out when the people arrive."

After saying that, she turned to the villagers and tried to wink at them: "It's alright, everyone go. Leave this to me, I'll wait for the county officials to arrive, they should be here soon."

Seeing this, Gu Yu chimed in, "So you were just stalling for time the whole time."

Some of the villagers understood and dispersed, completely ignoring the group from Peach Blossom Village.

The leader was getting anxious, and seeing this, Shang Qing continued, "You don't know, do you? This young master beside me is Lord Meng's right-hand man. I think he will definitely tell Lord Meng everything about what happened today, and then none of you will escape!"

"No wonder his kung fu is so good, it turns out he has some connection with Lord Meng..."

As Shang Qing spoke, she ran towards the village gate: "Hurry and get some water! I think I heard a noise, they must be here!"

She started running, and the others started running too, causing a bit of chaos at the scene.

But in no time, everyone from Peach Blossom Village had gone far away.

Shang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, you need to bring more people to guard this place. As soon as the village chief comes back, tell him what's going on; they probably won't let it go."

Uncle Wang nodded, and then led a group of people to continue patrolling.

But at that moment, several people exclaimed in surprise from not far away.

Shang Qing's heart tightened, thinking that the people of Peach Blossom Village had made a comeback, but she never expected that Meng Fengzhu and the village chief had returned together.

"Shang Qing, what's going on in the village? It's all in chaos!"

The village chief seemed to have noticed something was wrong with the village.

Shang Qing didn't hide anything and told him everything that had happened in the village. Meng Fengzhu's expression changed drastically after hearing it.

"I will send people to investigate this matter and find out who caused this trouble. We will leave no one alive!"

Although Meng Fengzhu's health has improved, his complexion is still not very good.

The village chief quickly apologized with a smile, "I'm so sorry, Lord Meng wanted to come to the countryside as soon as he recovered, but I never expected to run into such a thing. Fortunately, they have already left, so as not to upset you."

"Whether it's upsetting or not doesn't matter, I just didn't expect those people to actually try to force themselves on me. This time I'm going to teach them a lesson they won't forget; they've completely lost their respect for the law!"

Perhaps due to his emotional state, Meng Fengzhu coughed a few times after saying this.

The village chief quickly tried to calm him down, saying, "Don't worry, sir, don't worry."

Meng Fengzhu looked at Gu Yu and instructed him, "Xiao Zhao, since you were there the whole time, you must have seen those people clearly. So, I'll leave the task of capturing them to you. I'll send a few more people with you later."

Gu Yuyi readily agreed: "Okay."

"Let's go. I've become interested as soon as the village chief mentioned digging ditches and canals. Take me to see it!"
