The weather improved for a while, then it became dry again.
Seeing that the newly planted bean seedlings were about to die, the villagers preferred to use the money they had received to cultivate a new plot of land in the village.
From then on, the Jiang family and the land around their house occupied the eastern part of the village, while Jiangjia Village occupied the western part.
