Chapter 10 Flattery
Su Chunlin, who achieved his goal, never thought that the excellent mother and daughter of the Mo family thought of him this way.
At this time, he was walking back in a good mood. When he passed Zhongmen Village, he saw a group of people coming from afar. He looked closely and found that they were from Ximen Village. He quickly dodged to the side and hid.
Gao Zhi dragged his tired body and walked in front, looking panic-stricken like a frightened rabbit at the slightest movement.
Xiong Kai covered his shoulder with his hands, frowning, "Village Chief, we are almost at the doorstep, we are safe, no one here will steal our water."
Everything went smoothly when they set out, but they unexpectedly encountered an ambush on the way back. Not only was the water they brought back with great effort stolen, but many villagers were also injured.
Another nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes! This is Qingsha Township, not Canglan River, don't worry."
Gao Zhi wiped away his tears, looked towards the direction of Zhongmen Village, and murmured softly, "I wonder if they have dug out water in their village?"
If they really let him dig out the water, he would not want to live.
Xiong Kai said sarcastically: "How can they dig out water? If they do dig out water, I will chop off my head and let them kick it like a ball!"
After the group left, Su Chunlin popped his head out from behind them, looked at the embarrassed figures of the group, and immediately ran in the opposite direction.
It was almost dark when he returned to Dongmen Village.
Shen Yi came back one step earlier than him.
Han dared to prepare dinner and scolded Su Chunlin unhappily, "Ximen Village is not far away. It takes a whole day to go there. You are really capable!"
Su Chunlin looked like you don’t understand, sat down carelessly, and said to Shen Yi earnestly: “Uncle went to Ximen Village to find Mo Laotian today.”
Shen Yi's body stiffened and his eyes fell on Su Chunlin.
Su Chunlin sighed and shook his head. "The Mo family's daughter has really been spoiled by Mo Laotian. It's ok that she is spoiled and unreasonable, but she can confidently say in front of me that she wants to break off the engagement. She even got aggrieved after I scolded her. Mo Laotian's wife is also confused. She didn't know right from wrong and even hit me."
"What? You were beaten?" Han hurried to examine Su Chunlin.
Su Chunlin dodged quickly, "That's not true! How can a grown man like me suffer any loss?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yi said apologetically, "Uncle, you really don't have to stand up for me. Miss Mo doesn't like me. If she really marries me, her life will be in turmoil. It's better not to marry her in the first place."
Su Chunlin nodded approvingly, "I'm glad you think this way, but you still need to ask about things that need to be clarified. Now that I've let out a sigh of relief for you, I feel much better. If you really can't find a wife, I'll marry Xiaotai to you."
"Cough cough cough" Su Tai, who was eating with her head down, was startled by these words and started coughing repeatedly.
Shen Yi was also a little surprised, and subconsciously looked at Su Tai. There was a hint of unnaturalness on his tanned face.
Han was afraid that the two children would be embarrassed, so she quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Shen Yi, is there any new progress in digging the well today?"
Speaking of this, Shen Yi immediately returned to normal and shook his head helplessly, "Dongmen Village has selected three more well digging sites. By the evening, they had dug a depth of ten feet, but unfortunately there was no sign of water. I also went to Zhongmen Village, and the situation there was even worse. Uncle Zeng said that we should try again tomorrow. If there is still no harvest, we will give up and go to Canglan River to get water."
"No, no, we can't get water." Su Chunlin rejected it without even thinking about it.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he simply told them about what happened in Ximen Village. "I saw that quite a few of them went there, and they were robbed. Several people were injured. If the people from Zhongmen Village had really gone there, I guess they would have suffered the same fate."
Han was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was so anxious that tears came out. "What should we do? If we can't dig out water and can't go to Canglan River, how can Zhongmen Village survive?"
That's her mother's home!
Shen Yi hurriedly comforted her: “Auntie, don’t worry, there is still one day tomorrow, I will try again.”
Han looked at Shen Yi gratefully, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Now she can only place all her hopes on Shen Yi.
Seeing this, Su Tai pulled Han's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, why don't we go to my grandparents' house tomorrow? We can still spare some water, which can be sent to them."
Shen Yi nodded, "The water storage in Zhongmen Village is indeed running out, and it can only support one or two days at most."
Su Chunlin gritted his teeth, slammed the table and stood up, "I'll go tomorrow too! I don't believe that if our village can dig a well, their village can't! If they do dig one, let Xiong Kai chop off his head and kick it like a ball!"
The next day, Su Chunlin and his family got up before dawn.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Zhongmen Village, they saw a group of people gathered there. Han Yan, the eldest brother of the Han family, looked at his sister and her family in surprise, "Why did you come so early?"
Han was startled by the dark circles under the eyes of these people, "Big Brother, what have you done? Didn't you sleep all night?"
Han Yan nodded tiredly. "We couldn't dig out any water. We were all anxious and wanted to give up. But the people from Ximen Village went to Canglan River but didn't bring any water back. They said it was stolen. The village chief didn't dare to ask for help from the village anymore. We had to keep digging. We worked all night last night and someone fell into the well. Fortunately, there was no water and nothing happened. What are you doing here?"
"We come to help!" the Su family said in unison.
The villagers of Zhongmen Village were deeply moved and gave Su Chunlin and his friends two shovels.
Su Chunlin held a shovel and looked at Shen Yi in confusion, "How about we find a hole and dig it ourselves?"
Shen Yi nodded.
Su Tai hurriedly said, "Dad, you are lucky. You can dig wherever you say."
These words made Su Chunlin feel elated, and he walked ahead confidently as if he didn't care about anyone.
Han was speechless, but didn't say anything. She was familiar with the village and had stopped Su Chunlin several times when he almost fell into a ditch.
The group groped their way to a pond. Su Chunlin wanted to go further, but Su Tai stopped him and whispered, "Dad, why don't we dig here?"
Su Chunlin thought for a moment and looked at Shen Yi, “How is it here?”
The corners of Shen Yi's mouth twitched, and he stared at the abandoned pits around him, feeling somewhat helpless, but when he saw that Su Tai didn't want to leave, he could only say, "You can try."
Anyway, he didn't expect this family to really dig out water. Seeing Su Chunlin working enthusiastically, Shen Yi turned his head and looked towards the village, "I'll go look somewhere else."
"Then let's dig first."
Su Chunlin took Han and Su Zhan to work. Su Ming was small, so he could help carry the soil.
Su Tai temporarily dodged it on the pretext of urinating, and used 50 virtual coins to purchase the right to use a spring when entering the water space. Then, using the medium tool, he accurately placed the spring nearly ten feet below the surface.
After the spring was poured in, water began to gush out. I guess we will be able to see moist soil by this evening.
After doing all this, Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief. In order to strengthen Su Chunlin's confidence, she kept flattering him. Every time Su Chunlin wanted to give up, he had to bite the bullet and continue digging after being coaxed by Su Tai.
