Upon hearing this, Gong Zhixin immediately ran out, and Chen Dajiang and Lin Yuxi could no longer remain seated there.

The two men exchanged a glance. Could it be Yang Daniu?

Lin Yuxi was worried that Zhuang Zhenhua would cause trouble for Yang Daniu after they arrived, while Chen Dajiang was worried that everyone would be alright.

The farm was huge, and Yang Daniu could only stay by the water with his machinery. Lin Yuxi ran out with Gong Zhixin and saw the two men wrestling. She sped up and ran past Gong Zhixin, her two braids tied with red ropes swinging back and forth on either side of her face.

Upon closer inspection, the two men, covered in mud and soaked to the bone, were Yang Daniu and Zhuang Zhenhua.

"Stop fighting!" She grabbed Zhuang Zhenhua by the back of his collar and pulled him back, then kicked him in the waist, sending him flying into the water. He choked on several mouthfuls of water and even swallowed a mouthful of mud.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Daniu scrambled to his feet, tearing a large hole in his work jacket: "Technician Lin, he's trying to steal our water pump!"

Zhuang Zhenhua wiped the mud off his face and shouted, "Pah! I just came to ask you about Lin Yuxi. You didn't want to talk about it, and I didn't force you. Who knew you would suddenly back away? I tried to pull you up, but you dodged. And now... we've all fallen in together."

Yang Daniu was so angry that his hands trembled. He was panting heavily and pointed at Zhuang Zhenhua's nose. "Bullshit! I'm perfectly fine here. What are you doing here? You kept pushing me back, and your eyes were glued to the machine the whole time. How dare you say that?"

"Try cursing me again!" Zhuang Zhenhua raised his fist to strike again, but Lin Yuxi stopped him and kicked him away. He had just gotten up when he fell back into the river.

Fortunately, the water was shallow near the river, so only mud was splashed up.

"Lin Yuxi! I am your fiancé. Even if we break off the engagement, you should at least stand on my side. Why are you protecting an outsider? Do you two have something going on?" Zhuang Zhenhua cried out in pain and had no choice but to let go.

Lin Yuxi frowned. "What? You were the one who suggested breaking off the engagement, and now you're trying to get attention? Perfect, I also have the documents about you being demoted..."

After saying that, she took the piece of paper out of her pocket.

"You started out by cheating and swindling, then embezzled workers' wages, and now you want to slander me?"

Zhuang Zhenhua's face turned pale, and he reached out to snatch it, asking, "Where did you get this?"

“Because you slandered my family, the higher-ups gave me this piece of paper. It’s written in black and white, and you have no right to argue.”

"Tie him up and take him to the commune!" Gong Zhixin said sternly.

Two people immediately came and took Zhuang Zhenhua away.

Lin Yuxi watched Zhuang Zhenhua being led away, his face filled with resentment. She turned to Yang Daniu and asked, "Are you alright?"

Zhuang Zhenhua is probably just using her as a tool. Even though he's been demoted, he doesn't want her to have an easy time. If he can't deal with her, he'll drag the people around her down with him.

Yang Daniu scratched his head, "It's nothing, it's just that the machine seems to have gotten wet and can't be used anymore. It's all my fault, if it were me..."

"It's alright, as long as you're okay. This is my fault. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have bothered you. The engine is broken, but it can be fixed. It's a good opportunity to test the water engine I have. You go and rest, I'll take care of it..."

Since everyone was alright, Lin Yuxi took the water engine and started working on it by the river.

The machine broke down, so we just replaced the pipe and connected it. In no time, a dense stream of water poured down from the sky and sprayed onto the farm.

Qinghe Village doesn't have much money, and they used to barter for goods. Now that they have these two machines, bartering has become much easier.
