Liu felt that she had achieved her goal.
Whether her mother-in-law meant it sincerely or not, she felt comfortable after hearing it, just like eating an ice cube on a hot June day, feeling comfortable from the inside out.
Although she had never eaten ice in June, she had only eaten it when she was a child in the dead of winter, and it was incredibly refreshing!
(︶.?︶?)
Several days have passed since Village Chief Lin went to the county town, and then returned empty-handed.
Magistrate Tang did not agree to his request because it was not just their village that was short of water; the entire prefecture was short of water.
The reason why Xishan Village, which is next to them, still has water is because there is a natural pit within the village's boundaries. It is deep and large, and some distance away from the village. Children are not allowed to go near it.
Even now, in the third year of the drought, with water levels dropping drastically, the bottom of that natural sinkhole has not yet been reached.
"Xishan Village is really lucky!"
Liu said enviously.
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuyue wondered if it was a meteorite crater or possibly a volcanic crater. She wondered if she could buy the water to irrigate her fields, and whether it contained any radiation or harmful minerals that might affect her health. She wanted to become the first centenarian in the village's history!
"Eldest daughter-in-law, are all the people in Xishan Village normal?"
Liu looked at Yue Jiuyue with suspicion. Why would she ask such a question? Did she worry that their village would become infected and abnormal if they used water from Xishan Village?
“Which village doesn’t have a few abnormal people? In Xishan Village, there’s a idiot, who’s in his mid-twenties. All he can say all day is two words. He says ‘bobo’ to everyone he meets and asks them for ‘bobo’ to eat. He’s such a big guy, but he still wears open-crotch pants every day. Even so, he wets his pants and poops in his crotch every day. But you can’t keep him in. He even knows how to climb over the wall to get out.”
There's one in our village too, Qiangzi's second uncle. He's one of three brothers, and he's almost thirty and still hasn't gotten married. So he's set his sights on a childless widow in the village.
As a result, Qiangzi's mother disagreed, almost driving the widow to the brink of suicide by jumping into a well. She then went mad, dressing herself in flamboyant and extravagant ways all day. His mother, worried that he was interfering with the marriage prospects of her grandchildren, locked him up at home.
Yue September: Σ⊙▃⊙川
Why isn't it in the original owner's memories?
"Why doesn't his mother agree to him marrying a widow? Even the law encourages widows to remarry."
Having read many novels, Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but secretly suspect that the second child in that family might not be their biological child.
In Yue Jiuyue's mind, a novel about a prince's rebirth had already been automatically written: "A prince falls into madness after his misfortune, is reborn, takes revenge on the worst people, slaps faces all the way, and finally ascends the throne."
"I don't know, we can't figure out what they're thinking either. Anyway, a lot of people tried to persuade his mother, and the widow even said she didn't want the dowry. In the end, for some reason, it didn't work out, and it even hurt two people. One went crazy, and the other got married somewhere far away, I heard."
Lady Liu sighed, lamenting that lovers could not be together in the end, and also feeling sorry for the woman.
"Isn't Qiangzi's second uncle just setting people up? If he can't make his own decisions, why provoke others? And he even drags a woman into it. What a scumbag!"
Liu: (?●?)
Is that even a valid way of thinking?
They all felt sorry for Qiangzi's second uncle and the widow, and that Qiangzi's grandmother was awful, but no one thought it was Qiangzi's second uncle's fault.
