Sure enough, even though Da Wang and his men dug three wells, each about ten meters deep, they still couldn't find any water.
Of course, they didn't tell Da Wang and the others about the small puddle behind their house, which was just as magical as the ancient well in the village. Otherwise, the well might have been dug right up to the base of the wall of their main room.
On the day they saw Da Wang and his group off, many villagers went to watch the three wells they had dug. After confirming that they hadn't actually found any water, they left satisfied.
"I told you, the drought is so bad, digging a well is just a waste of time and money! They're just throwing money away!"
"That's right! With so much money, it would be great if we could lend it to Xishan Village to buy a few more buckets of water! That way, the sweet potato vines in the fields could be harvested for a longer period of time, and who knows, they might even produce sweet potatoes!"
“This woman, once she loses her man, she’s no longer on the same page as our Lin family. Look at what she’s done all these years. Not only has she settled her family so far away from our village, but we’ve also never seen her interact with anyone from our village. It’s obvious she doesn’t consider herself a member of the Lin family!”
"Yes! Yes! I heard that even the county magistrate is under her spell, you know, it means they're having an affair!"
"Pah! You slut! Don't let me catch her messing around, or I'll make sure she's drowned!"
...
Jealousy makes a person ugly, and hatred can completely distort their appearance.
Liu did not deduct the cost of the wooden basin, menstrual bag, and other items from Da Wang's wages. After these days of contact, she realized that Da Wang's youngest daughter was really shy, and it took a lot of courage for her to ask her for things.
In the village, there are many girls like this. They are from families where the elders are very strict, discipline their children, and even mistreat them. This kind of timid personality is raised in many families.
Of course, there's another extreme: learning to fight back and becoming a "tough nut to crack" that no one can get to. While you're no longer bullied, your reputation is ruined, so it's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Under the traditional ideology of valuing sons over daughters, girls suffer too much unfair treatment, and Liu was one of them.
However, Liu now has a wonderful mother-in-law who not only doesn't mistreat her, but also doesn't pressure her to have children, and even entrusts her with the management of the household—a unique situation in Linjiagou Village! Countless daughters-in-law are green with envy!
Little did Liu know that her treatment was not only envied and resented by her daughters-in-law, but also by mothers-in-law who had endured ten years of hardship to become mothers-in-law, all of whom were filled with envy and resentment.
If they had met a mother-in-law like Yue Jiuyue after they got married, they wouldn't have become so repulsive over the years, like the person they used to hate the most.
Yue Jiuyue: (ー_ー)!!
Good heavens! She actually became the mother-in-law that all the young women, newlyweds, and older women in Linjiagou Village wanted most?!
However, she didn't want to be a mother-in-law, and her becoming a good mother-in-law was purely because she was lazy, nothing more.
All of this is the fault of the time-traveling goddess. Otherwise, even if she died unexpectedly in the modern world, she should have gone to the underworld to report for duty, instead of being here as someone's mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother...
