Chapter 381: Digging Wells and Building Roads



The argument I just had with Chen Dongxiang.

The old couple originally didn't plan to tell their granddaughter.

However, the little granddaughter's observation ability was so strong that the old couple had to tell her the truth.

Mei Cuiping answered while eating, "Just now, a little incident happened in the village. I ran into Wang Xiaojun's mother and had an argument with her."

"Grandma and Grandpa, did Wang Xiaojun's mother find out that you went to Shennv Mountain to carry corn?"

Yun Mian's face changed.

Yun Aiguo: "That's right. Wang Xiaojun's mother is just like her mother. Not only did she remove the pine branches from your grandmother's backpack without any evidence, she also falsely accused your grandmother and me of stealing other people's corn. She didn't even consider that the area around Shennv Mountain is all sandy land and is planted with sweet potatoes."

Mei Cuiping: "Mianmian, don't worry. Grandma has already dealt with Wang Xiaojun's mother. Grandma scolded Wang Xiaojun's mother to the point of being bloody. It really makes me feel relieved."

After making sure that her grandparents had not suffered any loss, Yun Mian's expression relaxed and she was no longer angry. She thought of something and suddenly curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

Given the greedy nature of the Wang family, now that they know that their grandparents picked up corn cobs on Shennv Mountain, they will probably follow them to Shennv Mountain to pick up corn cobs.

It was just as Yun Mian expected.

The next day, Zhang Ruhua called her husband, son and daughter-in-law. The four of them, some carrying backpacks and some carrying baskets, headed towards Shennv Mountain early in the morning.

Two days later, an excavator drove into Xiushui Village to dig a well for the Yun family and Mrs. Chu's family and to repair the road in front of their home. Several members of the Wang family and the villagers came to the vicinity of the Yun family to watch the excavator work, and only then did they give up looking for corn cobs in the mountains.

Clang clang clang clang......

From eight o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock now, there has been constant clanging sounds in Old Yun's house.

A khaki excavator dug the soil over and over again.

In two hours, a hanging well with a diameter of about one and a half meters and a depth of more than ten feet appeared in the yard of Lao Yun's house.

The excavator continues to work because no water source has been found yet.

There were no less than dozens of people standing in Lao Yun's yard.

Everyone stared at the khaki excavator with curiosity.

"Grandma, I want to drive an excavator when I grow up."

A baby's voice was heard in the crowd.

"Our little Jun is really promising. He has such great ambitions at such a young age."

The conversation between the grandfather and grandson of the Wang family was quite loud, which attracted many villagers present to look at them sideways.

"Hey, isn't this Lanhua's mother? We're not going into the mountains to look for the old immortal and the corn cob today."

"Mom Lanhua, your family has been searching Shennv Mountain for several days. Have you found the old immortal and the corn cob?"

"The gods don't help the wicked."

Someone said this, and many people present nodded in agreement.

"I've already broken off my engagement with the Yun family, so how dare you come to see the excavator at the Yun family's house?"

"Lanhua's mother, I heard that your Lanhua is now dating a young man from a wealthy family in town."

This question finally made Zhang Ruhua hold her head high and find confidence.

"That's right. My Lanhua's current boyfriend lives in the Jinhua community in town. You know the Jinhua community, right? That's where the rich and the leaders live. Anyone who lives there is a well-known and influential person."

"Really, Lanhua's mom? Congratulations! Your Lanhua has finally made it big. By the way, when will your Lanhua marry into the Jinhua community? I heard that your Lanhua has slept with the man, and it's been so many days, but why haven't his parents come to your house to propose marriage?"

Zhang Ruhua, who was feeling proud and smiling, suddenly froze with a smile on her face when she heard these words.

You little bitch, you didn't even give her a definite answer about when she could marry into the Yang family, causing her to be laughed at by the villagers.

Zhang Ruhua was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed Wang Lanhua in her heart.

"There's water. We've found the source."

The excavator driver suddenly shouted excitedly, attracting everyone's attention.

Mei Cuiping and his wife, Yun Yongcheng, and Lu Feng hurried to the wellhead and looked down.

The four of them saw a stream of groundwater as thick as a chopstick bubbling out.

After a while, the bottom of the well was soaked with water. Seeing that the underground water was getting bigger and bigger, Yun Aiguo and his wife, Yun Yongcheng and Lu Feng finally felt relieved.

The money I spent on hiring the excavator was not wasted.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Yun Yongcheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and handed the cigarette to the excavator operator.

"It's almost noon. Master, please come down and take a rest. After lunch, we can dig the road in front of the gate in the afternoon."

The excavator works quickly, and one afternoon is enough to build the road to the village entrance.

Ten minutes later, the well slowly filled up, and many of the villagers present envied the Yun family.

"After digging the hanging well, the Yun family won't have to go all the way to the well to fetch drinking water."

"There's a well in my yard, which makes it convenient for washing vegetables, washing clothes, feeding pigs and cows, and mopping the floor. If my family had money, I would also hire an excavator to dig a well."

"Auntie, don't overthink it. Hiring an excavator is paid by the hour, and it's very expensive."

"Your Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun are so lucky to have a capable and down-to-earth son like Yongcheng."

"Yongcheng is so capable, but a certain girl doesn't know how to cherish him. She will regret it one day in the future."

Yunmian was holding the hand of the Third Master and standing in a cool and deserted place. When she heard the villagers pointing and talking about Zhang Ruhua, a smile of triumph appeared on Yunmian's lips.

This is how my grandparents lived in their previous lives.

In this life, it is Zhang Ruhua's turn to live like this.

At noon, Mei Cuiping prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain the excavator master.

They give us good cigarettes, delicious food and drinks, which is something you won’t get if you work in other places.

The excavator driver had a good meal and rested for two hours at noon, so he felt refreshed. In the afternoon, he had to work hard.

The clanging sounds continued from two in the afternoon until six in the evening, when they finally called it a day.

A yellow mud road about three meters wide extends from Lao Yun's house and the entrance of the community house to the big weeping willow tree at the entrance of the village.

After dinner, after seeing off the excavator driver, Lu Feng went directly to the village entrance and drove the Volga car into the yard of the community house.

Chen Ju looked at the car parked in the yard and said with a smile: "Old Madam, this is good now. From now on, if you want to go out, you can just take a car at home. It's much more convenient."

"Yeah, it's still these young people who are good at thinking and planning."

The Third Master immediately corrected him: "If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This is what Sister Mianmian said."

"Look, our Yu'er now protects that little girl Mianmian in everything."

Old Madam Chu looked at her precious grandson with a smile.
