Tell Mother not to worry."Big brother, what's the point of saying that I have no idea where they're going or what they're doing. How could I not be worriedThe day before yesterday, my older brother di...As a result, they waited for a whole day and night. Qiujiu was so hungry that her legs felt weak, but Chunlan insisted on staying home, saying that someone would definitely bring them food.

"If that village head's son was really going to bring us food, he would have come already, Chunlan. I can't take this anymore. Don't you go out and look for him Should I just go out and find some food myself"

Chunlan was also hungry, her stomach ached with hunger. She refused to accept it, she didn't dare believe that Wang Tiezhu had really not come.

She was furious and stormed out, heading straight for the village head's house.

At this time, Zongyu had already led most of the villagers up the mountain. Wang, the village head, thought that the most important thing in the village recently was the irrigation canal. So he followed them up the mountain as well, one more person meant more strength.

At home was only Zhao shi. When Chunlan knocked on the door, Zhao shi wondered, "Who would be knocking at this hour Everyone in the village has gone up the mountain."

"Who is it" she asked as she opened the door.

Seeing that Chunlan was standing at the door, his face immediately fell.

"It's you."

This little vixen made her husband and son repair the roof for her all night. Zhao Fangru disliked Chunlan from the first glance she saw her.

Just looking at it doesn't seem like it's going to be easy.

"Nobody's home, what are you doing here"

Chun Lan knew that Zhao Fangru was the daughter-in-law of the village head, Wang, and treated her with extra courtesy.

"Aunt Zhao, I'm here to ask if Tiezhu is home. He said before that we could come to him for help if we had any difficulties."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangru's face grew even more pale.

"My son can help you with anything! Don't try to take advantage of our family."

"Look at you, all dolled up and acting like a flirt! I'd advise you to back off and stop bothering my Iron Column!"

Zhao Fangru was very direct. After she finished speaking, she slammed the door shut, almost hitting Chunlan's face.

Chunlan, who was turned away at the door, was so angry that her nose was almost crooked. Her fists were clenched tight, and her whole body trembled.

The wife of a village head actually dared to belittle her! To put it plainly, she's just a country bumpkin! A savage who's never seen the world, she deserves to live in a mountain shack for the rest of her life.

Chunlan was starving. Since Tiezhu and Wang, the village head, weren't home, she decided to stay wasn't helpful. So she wandered around the village, hoping to find something to eat and also wanting to see what the village was like.

Unfortunately, Nomura is now penniless and destitute. In the past, he could still find some fruits and vegetables to eat in his family's vegetable garden. Now, he can't even see a single tender leaf of grass.

Chunlan's legs were too weak from hunger to walk any further. She found an old woman and asked her, only then did she learn that everyone in the village had gone up the mountain to dig a water channel.

When the water channel was dug, the villagers had water to drink.

Upon hearing that there was water to drink, Chunlan was also delighted. At least this dilapidated place wasn't completely worthless.

It's so dry out here, they were actually able to find water. Staying here was definitely the right call.

She learned that Tiezhu and Wang Village Chief had also gone up the mountain, so she decided to continue with her ruse.

I dragged my famished and weak body to the foot of the mountain, sitting there waiting for them to come down.

On the mountain, Zong Yu was eager to please his wife and worked hard digging the canal. He had become a key worker for the project, with everyone else in the village following behind him.

At the end of the day, progress has been made again. The channel has already been dug below the mountainside.

Previously, it was said that I could spare three days or so, but that's probably an overestimate.

At this rate Zong Yu is working, I estimate that we can open the floodgates tomorrow after another day of work!

The village head and villagers were analyzing the situation, all of them beaming with smiles. After working so hard for days, they were finally about to see water. Could they be anything but happy

On the way down the mountain, everyone was no longer as listless as they were at the beginning, but instead chatted and laughed all the way.

Many people are already talking about going home to plant seeds.

Mayor Wang is generous. Once the irrigation canal is dug, he can give twenty catties of corn seeds to each household to share, at least providing some food supply.

As soon as the crowd reached the foot of the mountain, someone pointed to the bottom and shouted, “Isn’t there a girl sitting down there”d thousands of grievances to tell, but ultimately swallowed them all back.Seeing the people around him, their hearts sank.The men thought, "What a pity! Such a beauty has no husband!"The women thought...
