Divorce her scumbag husband, marry the war king, and the hot wife gets rich through her spatial abil
Chapter 41 Outwardly, they act like humans; back in, they act like dogs.
Meanwhile, on Xiao Nan's side, when the well was dug to a depth of fifteen meters, water appeared, but not much. After digging another meter or so, water gushed out, and several men immediately came up from inside.
They were all soaking wet, but they were all laughing happily.
Xiao Nan and Grandma were also drawn over by the laughter coming from the backyard. When they heard that water had come out, they both laughed.
Next, they used stone slabs to level and raise the area around the well, just in case someone accidentally fell in while drawing water.
They then added a wheel on one side, tied a rope around it, and attached a wooden bucket to the other end.
This way, you can lower the bucket into the water, and then use the pulley to lift it up.
It saves a lot of effort and is most suitable for women.
Half an hour later, the water in the well was ready to be drawn, and Meng Fei carried several buckets up in one go.
Gradually, the water became clearer as they went further in. The old woman tried it, and Xiao Nan followed suit.
They all burst into laughter, Xiao Nan said to the workers.
"You've worked hard. There will be wine and meat tonight, so please take care of us."
"Thank you, boss."
It was quite late when they ate dinner. The two dogs stayed by Xiao Nan's side, and everyone swallowed hard as they looked at the table full of food.
A large plate of braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, a large plate of braised pork knuckle with minced garlic, a large plate of cold pig's ears, a large plate of pig's trotters—four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, all lavishly served.
Each person had a bowl of wine in front of them, the aroma of which was irresistible; one didn't need to guess to know that the wine was good.
The workers all looked at Meng Fei, who took the initiative to pick up his wine bowl: "You've worked hard. Come on, let's drink. I'll settle your wages first thing tomorrow morning before you leave."
The five workers chuckled and said, "Thanks, boss. Please come to us if you need anything in the future."
"it is good!"
Xiao Nan observed the actions of the group, a slight smile playing on her lips as she silently drank her wine.
The workers enjoyed the meal very much, and the next day, they lingered over another breakfast before leaving.
Xiao Nan didn't say anything. Whether it was Meng Fei's people or the people who actually dug the well, they had put in the effort and it only took two days. They worked really hard, so it was only right that they were given a good meal.
As long as Meng Fei and his people treat this family well, she is willing to be blind and deaf.
Finally, she didn't have to go out to fetch water anymore. The old woman's mouth was always full of joy, and she would go to the well to look at it whenever she had free time.
More water was added to the chickens' and donkey's water supply, and even the water in the two puppies' bowls was added more frequently.
The village well has been dry to this day. When the villagers started to complain and some people started to believe that God was punishing them, every household, carrying baskets, went to the temple in groups of three or five, like going to a market.
Xiao Nan snorted coldly after hearing this: "Evil hearts, even the Bodhisattva will not protect them. Cause and effect are cyclical, evil will be punished."
Longlong asked her, "When will the well have water?"
"Let's see how they pray before the Bodhisattva. If they only ask for water, they won't get it. But if they repent and do good deeds, then they will get it."
"Alright, if more than 50% of the villagers think this way, then I'll give the water back to them."
After all this commotion, it's already mid-August, and the wedding is just a few days away.
The village well also had water, and it took a full half month for the villagers to have drinking water, causing them great suffering.
If it weren't for Longlong seeing that they had made several trips to the temple and sworn an oath, he wouldn't have returned it to them.
With water available, the villagers became more obedient. However, this incident caused them to split into several factions, resulting in a superficial harmony but underlying discord.
One group repented and planned to do good deeds in the future; the other group didn't care and felt it was just a coincidence. Otherwise, why would the water take so long to return after praying to the Bodhisattva?
One faction stands in the middle, observing the situation from afar, watching the tigers fight from the sidelines.
However, no one made things difficult for Wang Pozi's family anymore, and only then did Jiang Shi dare to come to Wang Pozi during the day.
Upon entering the living room, Jiang looked at the furnishings and smiled happily.
"Sister, you are so lucky. Your home has changed so much."
The old woman smiled and poured her a glass of water: "That's right, this house was built by my daughter, and all the furniture was bought with her own money. As for me, I don't care about anything, I just sit and enjoy my life."
"Tsk tsk, this girl is so good to you, new clothes, new shoes, oh my god, she even bought you a silver bracelet and a silver hairpin?"
"And earrings too. If I didn't have pierced ears, I would have worn them."
Jiang looked at Wang Po with delight, "I'm so envious."
"The jewelry was bought by my son-in-law."
Jiang suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "You've recognized her as your goddaughter?"
The old woman shook her head: "No, she's not related to me at all, but she's been so good to me. Why should I act like an elder and put myself above her? This is fine enough. She'll take care of me in my old age, and I'm content."
"But this way, it's not legitimate and proper."
"It's alright, I've come to terms with it. Some people are biological relatives, but whether they're filial or not is another matter."
Jiang nodded: "Sister is right. There are two families in our village who are filial in public, but abuse the elderly behind the scenes. The elderly have no way to express their suffering."
Granny Wang snorted: "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. You reap what you sow. In my maid's words, that's called reaping what you sow. There's always a reason why someone is pitiful."
"Yes, I really regret coming to this village. I don't know how the boys in this village manage to get married. If it were me, I would never let my daughter marry into this village."
"How do you marry her? Of course, she'll be a respectable person outside, but a dog inside."
"Haha, by the way, my daughter is getting married next month, are you coming?"
“Come on, we won’t go to other people’s houses, but we’ll definitely go to yours.”
"I'm not after your things, I just don't know many people around here, so please support me if you come."
"But we can't go empty-handed."
"No, no need,"
Jiang and Wang Po talked for a while in the living room, and then the old woman took her to look around the front and back yards.
Jiang was very envious and hurriedly said that she would go back and renovate her own courtyard like that. After seeing the well, she said that she also wanted to dig one in her own home.
She also secretly told Granny Wang a secret: some families in the village had bad intentions, and their children were also bad; they would always secretly urinate into the well.
The old woman, who was a germaphobe, gagged a few times upon hearing this, and was glad that her family had dug a well.
Jiang also said that someone had died in the well a few years ago, and she didn't want to draw water from it anymore. She said that after her daughter got married, her family would dig a well.
The old lady heard about it. Both things are disgusting. There are many kinds of death, why jump into a well? It's really something.
The two chatted for a while longer before Jiang left.
Xiao Nan was reading a book, and Meng Fei was weeding in the wasteland. They were each doing their own thing, and neither of them came to keep Jiang company. They just exchanged greetings.
After Jiang left, the old woman found Xiao Nan and said happily.
"From now on, I can visit the Jiang family. They won't be traveling far before the New Year."
"He doesn't own any land?"
"Yes, I often do some small business outside during the off-season. On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, the Jiang family is getting married. Will you come with me?"
Xiao Nan put the books in the drawer, but actually threw them into his spatial storage. They were all typefaced and he didn't want anyone to see them.
"Have you decided what to use as part of your dowry?"
"The dowry is applied two days before the wedding; it's not applied on the day itself, and you just receive the wedding money."
"How much do you want?"
“I have a good relationship with her, but her family probably won’t be setting up a table and tent that day. I don’t know if the villagers will be going.”
"Then it wouldn't be appropriate to give money."
The old woman hesitated, "That's true, so what would be a suitable gift? Would the piece of fabric you gave me be alright?"
Xiao Nan thought for a moment, then used her mind to search through the space. She found a ten-year-old ginseng root in an ordinary box.
I went into the cabinet, took out the box, and handed it to the old lady.
"Let's consider this a gift from our family?"
"what is this?"
The old woman opened it and asked in shock, "Ginseng? Isn't this too precious?"
