"Okay, it's very hot outside now. Take a straw hat and a palm-leaf fan with you."

Chi Yu nodded and left the warehouse, then went to the main house.

"Amu, I'm getting ready to go out!"

Qin Mu was checking the household registers when he heard this. He put his things away and replied:

"I'll go out with you!"

Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment, then asked in return, "Didn't you say you were going out later?"

"No, I'll send the household registration book to Song Chongjin first, and tell him about the situation in the county town while I'm at it."

Another thing is that I want to see how the people of Xiechi'ao are solving their drinking water problem.

The weather is much hotter than it was before we left.

I reckon the stream over there on the north side of the mountain has dried up.

Chi Yu nodded and said nothing more.

When the two went out, they were dressed the same.

They all wore large straw hats and held palm-leaf fans in their hands.

Chi Yu wanted to go to the clan chief's house first, while Qin Mu, who originally wanted to go directly to Xiechi'ao, thought about it and decided to go with her.

Chi Dong-il is getting old, and logically speaking, he should stay at home on such a hot day.

Unfortunately, he's a restless person!

As soon as it got light, he went from house to house to check on the villagers' water storage situation.

If he discovers that the amount of water stored in the other party's home is less than he expects, he will directly force the family to fetch more water to take home.

Not only that, he also asked the second and third clan elders to pay more attention.

Once a villager discovers a house with plenty of edible things, they will organize others to go there to pick them the next day.

Right now, he had all the bamboo in the bamboo forest leading from Chijia'ao to the county town dug up by his men.

In fact, every few days, he would organize people to go and check to see if any new growth had appeared.

In addition to these, he also kept an eye on every household growing vegetables, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

When Chi Yu and Qin Mu arrived, he had already left.

Not only him, but even Lü Guihua and the others went out, leaving only Lin Qiuyu at home to take care of the child.

Lin Qiuyu looked down on Chi Yu, thinking that he was just lucky to be born in Chijia'ao, a place with few girls.

Despite her disdain, she didn't dare utter a word when faced with Chi Yu, who had already remarried.

Firstly, the heir to the future clan leader is neither her father-in-law nor her husband.

Secondly, she witnessed firsthand that when Chi Yu got married, the county magistrate even came over.

Third is Qin Mu, who is said to have come in first place in the county examination. Needless to say, she will definitely become a scholar's wife.

She was resentful and angry, but there was nothing she could do about it.

They're just lucky; she can only be envious!

Besides, they've opened a general store now, selling quite a lot of things.

If she wanted what was best for herself and her child, she wouldn't be so tactless as to offend people.

So, upon hearing Chi Yu's voice, she poked her head out from the basement.

"The child's grandfather isn't here. If you need to find someone, you'll have to come back later!"

Since the person wasn't there, Chi Yu didn't want to spend time looking for them, much less wasting time waiting here.

Upon hearing this, he said, "Amu and I brought back a lot of things from the county town."

If the clan chief returns, tell him to bring some people to my house.

I've already told my third sister-in-law what to do.

After thinking for a moment, before leaving, she added, "I brought back some hatching eggs, as well as regular chicken and duck eggs."
