Chapter 34 Regret
Gao Zhi also lay down beside the well, and when he saw water coming out of it, he immediately laughed out loud.
Chen Yi climbed out of the well and saw the two people were ecstatic. He couldn't laugh at all. "Yes, there is water, but the amount of water is about the same as the initial amount dug out by Dongmen Village and Ximen Village. Now it has been dug very deep, and it will be the same if we continue to dig. This amount of water is not a problem to supply water for your whole village, but it is a bit difficult to use for spring ploughing."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling the old couple to the core.
Mrs. Liu was anxious. "What should we do? It's too late now. We must start spring ploughing immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"
Shen Yi's face was solemn. "It's not that I don't want to help you. I want to see the situation in Dongmen Village and Ximen Village. They also had a small amount of water at the beginning, and the water volume rose after a long time. Only Dongmen Village had a big increase in water volume, and Zhongmen Village was not so exaggerated. I guess the groundwater in your area should be very deep and unevenly distributed. Only by breaking the hole can there be a chance for the water to come up. As for how long this time will take, no one knows."
Gao Zhi instantly collapsed to the ground, burst into tears, and regretted his decision, "If only I hadn't been so proud at the beginning, I would have dug the well with everyone else!"
Mrs. Liu felt even more upset, but she tried to comfort the old man, "Forget it, it's fate! People have advised them, but they didn't listen and tried to be clever. Now they have such a well, which is a blessing from God!"
After that, Liu took out two taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Shen Yi, “Master Shen, thank you for your hard work today.”
Shen Yi had worked for so long, so he didn't hesitate to take the money and led Su Tai out of the village.
After they left, Gao Zhicai called the villagers home and explained the situation.
The villagers regretted so much that they jumped up and down, beating their chests and stamping their feet. Some who liked to shirk responsibility immediately pointed their guns at Xiong Kai, "It's all your fault, you unlucky star! Master Shen clearly came to our village to mark the land that day, but you insisted on cutting off his financial resources! If it weren't for you, with Master Shen's help, our village would have had enough water long ago!"
"That's right! Xiong Kai must give us an explanation!"
The villagers began to attack Xiong Kai.
Everyone in the Xiong and Mo families changed their expressions.
Xiong Kai was not convinced and argued, "Didn't you say anything when I did this? Now it's time to settle the score, and you've taken advantage of me! Our Xiong family is weak, but we're not easy to bully!"
"Who bullied you? We are telling the truth!"
Mo Laotian stepped out with a sullen face to smooth things over, "Everyone calm down, things have come to this point, we should hurry up with the spring ploughing, and we can talk about everything after the sowing."
"Hmph! You snakes and rats are in cahoots with each other, so naturally you are speaking on Xiong Kai's side!" A woman spat in annoyance and turned away angrily.
The others followed suit and left, cursing.
Xiong Kai was so angry that he wanted to fight them to the death, but was stopped by the Xiong family and the Mo family. A group of people also followed him and left the village chief's house.
Liu was very tired and wanted to complain to Gao Zhi, but she found that Gao Zhi had aged several years in an instant. She swallowed the words and sighed, "Chen Yi and Miss Su are a perfect match. Xiong Kai and Mo Chunxiang are also a good match!"
Gao Zhi became even more silent.
Here, Shen Yi sent Su Tai home and hurried back to Shenjiazhuang.
The crops in the fields need watering, so they cannot be left alone during this period.
At the Su family's side, Su Chunlin and his family finally planted all the wheat, leaving six acres of poor land and two acres of sandy field with nothing planted on them.
Grain seeds are too expensive nowadays, and it would be a waste to plant them in such fields, but just leaving them there is not a problem.
Su Chunlin brought up this issue during the meal.
Su Tai thought that the wheat in the Earth Time and Space would be ready for harvest in a few days, so she whispered, "Dad, don't worry. We'll go to Shenjiazhuang to find Brother Shen in a while. We can buy some different vegetable seeds from him."
Su Chunlin nodded, not doubting Su Tai's words at all.
It’s the day of wheat harvest in the Earth Time and Space.
Su Tai started living a life of reversed day and night again. She worked when others slept, and slept when others worked. Fortunately, no one at home expected her to do anything, and no one disliked her laziness.
Three hundred and fifty kilograms of wheat from less than an acre of land finally fell into her hands. She kept one hundred kilograms and sold the rest to the automatic trading cabinet at 5 virtual coins per kilogram, earning 1,250 coins in total.
Seeing this balance, Su Tai felt that all the hard work during this period was worth it.
With money in hand, she felt particularly confident when she stepped into the seed store again. According to the information she had learned from Shen Yi before, combined with her own acres of barren land, she finally chose soybean and peanut seeds that were drought-resistant, disease-resistant, and high-yielding.
One acre of land requires three to five kilograms of soybean seeds and twenty kilograms of peanut seeds.
The boss chose more expensive seeds for her, and she spent a total of 470 coins. The virtual currency, which had not even warmed up yet, suddenly went from four digits to three digits.
In order to upgrade the Earth Time and Space as quickly as possible, she decided to continue growing cabbage this time and had to buy some cabbage seeds.
Fortunately, she didn't ask for much, so the boss generously gave her a pack without charging her any money.
Su Tai waited until she finished her work in the open space before going to Shenjiazhuang with Su Chunlin.
This time, the father and daughter did not go empty-handed, but picked a basket of wild vegetables along the way.
When we arrived at Shen Yi's house, the wild vegetables were a little wilted.
Su Chunlin is thick-skinned and won't feel embarrassed at all.
Su Tai had other purposes and didn't take the wild vegetables seriously.
Shen Yi stared at the basket of wild vegetables and looked at Su Tai in confusion, "Eat this?"
Su Tai nodded, holding the tea comfortably, and whispered to Chen Yi: "I want to ask you for a favor"
Chen Yi is very experienced in providing cover for Su Tai. As long as Su Tai takes the lead, he will know how to cooperate.
The two of them sang the same tune and confused Su Chunlin.
Looking at the peanut and soybean seeds, Su Chunlin asked dazedly, "Can we really grow peanuts and soybeans here?"
It’s not that there is no peanuts and soybeans in Langya Kingdom, but no one grows them in their area. I heard that some people grow them in small counties in the southeast, but they are precious things, difficult to grow and hard to grow.
Some people worked hard for a year, but in the end got nothing, and gradually no one bothered anymore.
Shen Yi glanced at Su Tai and nodded firmly, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely not cheat you. This is new seed. If my family didn't have inferior land, I wouldn't give you the seeds."
"Oh! Then I have to give you money." Su Chunlin pretended to take out the silver.
Chen Yi hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle, don't be anxious. Although they told me that they can grow the crops, you haven't grown them yet. I don't dare to take the money. When you grow them, you can give me the same amount of soybeans and peanuts, okay?"
Su Chunlin thought about it and said, "If you really grow it, I will pay you back double! I definitely won't let you suffer any loss!"
"Okay! I'll do as you say."
Sorry, my dears, the update is too fast. I will update two chapters a day in the next few days, and then update more frequently later.
