Half an hour later, the two finally climbed up, their bodies reeking of nausea. Yunniang thoughtfully asked them to bring her two buckets of water, and without watching from the sidelines, she went back to work in the pigsty.
As for the others, they were too lazy to watch the spectacle. They hadn't even gotten much done today's work yet, and they needed to finish as soon as possible.
When they returned to the pigsty, Han Datou followed and explained, "It was Wangcai. He must have seen it outside. He thought that woman was bullying you. I saw him run to the small door of the latrine and pry at it for a while. I didn't notice him prying the door open at the time, but I realized what was going on when I heard the woman's scream."
"Yunniang, your Wangcai is really quite clever."
Han Datou had seen many dogs, but he had never seen one as clever as Wangcai before. First, he opened the door to the cesspool, then went over to scare the woman.
They drove people to the cesspool and then took the opportunity to scare them into going inside.
Is this something a dog would do? Even a human might not think of such a method.
I have to say, this sounds really satisfying.
"Wangcai? That's great, give him an extra meal at noon."
"Woof woof woof..." Speak of the devil and he appears. Just now, no one knew where Wangcai was hiding. Now, hearing that there was an extra treat, the little guy wagged his tail and ran out happily, circling around Yunniang.
"I told you he was a spirit, didn't I?"
Han Datou's face was full of wrinkles from laughing, but you could tell that his smile was genuine.
"Yes, Wangcai is indeed sensible."
Yunniang pondered to herself. Although she had no evidence, she felt it was probably related to the water in her daughter's spatial dimension. The quality of that water was exceptionally good. She should continue drinking that water; perhaps one day her daughter would remember her past.
Today's events left a deep impression on her; some people don't cease to exist just because you ignore them.
Having confirmed her relationship with the Chi family and knowing that she had a talent for embroidery, why would she give up what was originally hers?
The Chi family and the Sixiu Pavilion were things that Chi Ling'er cared about. Yunniang secretly thought that if she really had a talent for embroidery, she wouldn't mind taking over the Sixiu Pavilion.
It's fine to give it to one of her daughters; whichever daughter has the talent, that's who she can give it to. She believes in her children and that they would never fight each other over a small place like the Silk Pavilion.
As for this breeding farm, Yunniang knew perfectly well that it was just a cover for her daughter. She remembered Xue'er saying that once the famine was over, the market wouldn't need so much grain, and the fastest way to consume grain would be through animal husbandry.
If we set up a breeding farm here, we'll have a source of meat for our daughter in the future.
"father."
Yunniang's sudden word startled Han Datou so much that he stumbled and almost fell on his butt.
"What, what did you just shout?"
This was the first time Yunniang had called him "father" since the family split up. At first, she ignored them, and although she later agreed to let them plant Han Luoxue's seeds, she still treated them as ordinary villagers.
Even if they agree to let him come to the farm, he will be doing the same work as ordinary villagers.
Han Mingyuan and Yunniang never called them "father" and "mother" again.
But today, if he hadn't misheard, Yunniang called him "father," how could Han Datou not be excited?
"Let Mom come and help tomorrow. I won't be keeping an eye on things here anymore, so I'll have to trouble you and Mom to keep an eye on things."
Han Datou almost thought he had misheard. What did Yunniang mean?
This farm, you want him and Grandma Han to manage it from now on? Impossible! Can Yunniang trust him?
"Yunniang, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Although Han Datou was very tempted, he didn't care how much money he could make here. If the third brother's family really entrusted the farm to him, what would that mean? It would mean that they considered him one of their own again.
His and Grandma Han's efforts over this period of time had not been in vain. Han Datou was extremely excited.
"It's not that I won't come, but I'll make the decisions on important matters. As for normal operations, you and Mother can handle it. Yuan and I trust you. You'll definitely manage things well here, right?"
Han Datou nodded hurriedly. This was a great opportunity to prove himself, how could he possibly let it pass?
"There's definitely no problem. I raised pigs for many years when I was at home."
Han Datou hurriedly said.
"Past experience is one thing, but we still need to be careful when we're doing large-scale farming here."
Han Datou nodded quickly, and Yunniang smiled and said, "Just do your job well."
"Yunniang!"
Yunniang turned to work, but Han Datou didn't leave immediately. He asked anxiously from behind, "Have you discussed this with Xueya? Did she agree?"
Han Datou also knew that Xue Yatou was now in charge of the third son's family.
"It was her suggestion in the first place."
Yunniang smiled and continued working with her head down.
...
Chi Ling'er didn't even know how she got back to town. She had only rinsed herself with water at the breeding farm. On the way back, the carriage left a strong stench wherever it passed.
People they encountered on the road avoided their carriage, covering their noses and cursing under their breath.
"Why does this carriage smell so bad? Did it fall into a cesspool?"
“Look at the person driving the cart, he’s all wet, he might have really crawled out of a cesspool.”
"This person is really something. It's one thing to run around in a latrine, but to come out and cause trouble without washing yourself properly is just asking for trouble."
"..."
Chi Ling'er, inside the carriage, was furious, her eyes red with anger. She hated Yun Niang to death.
Although she knew that Yunniang wasn't with her when the dog fell in, Wangcai was Yunniang's pet, and she didn't believe that a dog would do anything without its owner's command.
He really wronged Yunniang in this matter. It was purely because Wangcai thought she was bullying her master that Yunniang knew nothing about it.
Upon hearing this, Madam Chi and Mr. Chi rushed over. At that time, Chi Ling'er was still taking a bath, and the wooden tub had already been changed four times. Even the innkeeper's waiter was displeased.
"Madam, although we don't lack water for the time being, look at how the heavens aren't sending rain. Everyone is using water sparingly. Please don't waste water like this, okay?"
"Get out of here! Bring me five more buckets of water, and I'll pay you double!"
Chi Ling'er spoke angrily, but the waiter outside the door just shrugged and said, "No more, not even three times the price!"
The well in their inn courtyard only yields a few vats of water a day, and this woman has already used more than half of it.
If we give her five more buckets, the inn won't even need to eat dinner tonight. They probably won't even have enough water for cooking.
"Alright, you can go back now. Leave this to us." Even Madam Chi couldn't stand it anymore, so she waved for the waiter to leave.
As the waiter was leaving, he said, "Madam, under normal circumstances, we could provide several buckets of water. But things are different now, and water is very precious. Our town is considered to be in a better situation; at least everyone can get water. I've heard that in some places, you have to run several miles to queue for water."
"Everyone needs to be careful with their water usage right now, so..."
