While Chi Yu was quickly thinking about these things, Chen Xiaomai had somehow walked up to her side.

"Little fish, with this river, even if there's extreme heat and drought, we won't have to flee for our lives, right?"

Thinking of the miserable state of those refugees in Wuning Prefecture, Chen Xiaomai felt very resistant to leaving her hometown.

If they weren't in their original place and had no other way to make a living, who would leave their roots?

"No! We have many mountains and trees here. Even if it gets very hot, as long as you live underground, it won't get too hot."

As for drought, isn't there this river?

As long as there is food and drink, nothing will happen, and there is no need to leave this place.

By the way, Third Sister-in-law, you saw it too, the water bag the immortal gave me turned into this river.

Now it's suddenly become this deep and this wide.

This means that the situation will be particularly serious at that time.

How do you think I'm going to give this water away later?

Also, we need to encourage every household in the village to plant one or two trees on the side of the road.

When the extreme heat comes, as long as the trees don't die from the sun, living underground will be relatively cooler.

Chen Xiaomai had no idea how to distribute this water, so upon hearing this, she said:

"Little Fish, even your Third Sister-in-law isn't very clear about what you're talking about."

Why don't you wait until Qin Mu arrives and ask him?

He was intelligent, had a wide network of connections, and also had a good relationship with the government.

I imagine he'll have a solution.

As for the tree planting you mentioned, that's simple. I'll talk to Aunt Guihua about it after dinner tonight.

Aunt Guihua is quick-witted; once she tells everyone, the women in every household will arrange everything without the clan chief even needing to inform them.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu sighed inwardly.

Before she could say anything, Zhou Xiaolan's voice came from outside.

"Little Fish, are you home?"

Chi Yu and Chen Xiaomai exchanged a glance, and then left the space.

As she pushed open the main door and prepared to go out, she saw her elder sister and second sister-in-law, who had been chatting happily, also come out of the main room.

Upon seeing Zhou Xiaolan, Chi Qiao asked, "Sister Lan, are you looking for Xiaoyu?"

Zhou Xiaolan had just entered the courtyard and hadn't even seen the fish in the pond when she heard these words.

Hearing this, she looked at Chi Qiao and asked instead of replying, "San Ya, where's Xiao Yu?"

"Sister Lan, I'm here!"

Hearing the sound of the fish in the pond, Zhou Xiaolan quickly waved to her:

"Little Fish, come here. Your clan leader and uncles need to talk to you."

After saying that, she looked at Chi Erxiong and said, "Erxiong, you come too!"

Chi Yu was confused, but since they had come looking for her, she had to go.

Therefore, she placed Zhuangzhuang in Chen Xiaomai's arms.

"Third Sister-in-law, I'm going to see what the clan chief wants with me. Zhuangzhuang, can you help me check?"

Chi Qiaoben was in the main room, acting as a middleman, listening to Chi Erxiong and his wife and Zhong's second wife and their husbands talk about the marriage between Zhong Yufeng and Chi Kang.

Seeing this, he followed without saying a word.

When Chi Yu arrived at the wooden house that had already been built in Chi Dongyi, he saw that it was packed with people.

Even her third brother and Chi Ye were here.

"The little fish is coming! Everyone, make way, make way!"

Zhou Xiaolan's voice was quite loud, and given her reputation as a scapegoat, after she finished speaking, the people present jostled and pushed to make way for her.

After Chi Yu entered the main room, Chi Dongyi stood up and cleared his throat.

Once everyone had quieted down and looked over, he said, "After putting out the fire for so long, you should all be allowed to rest."
