Chapter 85 On the Eve of the Drought 2



Ji Huangquan did hand over the gold left behind by the ghost to the state, but this was what was left over, some of it was lost. However, even the lost gold was still a lot.

Feng Biluo asked Ji Huangquan if he had any money. Ji Huangquan told Feng Biluo about it. "That's for the best. The currency of this world is the best choice for solving problems and buying things in this world," Feng Biluo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ji Huangquan looked at Feng Biluo and said, "Yes, having these things will allow us to use them more effectively."

Ji Huangquan then chose to leave. He was there to protect a person who was an important figure in the country as he was being escorted abroad. This person was someone Ji Huangquan had saved before, and a few days ago the other party had asked Ji Huangquan if he could escort him.

At that time, Ji Huangquan said he would think about it. It just so happened that Ji Huangquan needed to go abroad at that moment, so they hit it off immediately. The people in the village all said that Ji Huangquan had something to do and had to go out. They were a little concerned and tried to find out more about it indirectly.

Feng Biluo's answer was to protect others, but she didn't specify what. Feng Linqi and Feng Linshu, however, knew this. Feng Linshu looked at Feng Biluo and asked, "Biluo, why did you send Ji Huangquan? What will you do if something happens?"

Ji Huangquan lost his life protecting that person before, and now he's been brought back to life after protecting that person again. Is he going to perish again somewhere? He was starting to worry.

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo said, "There's really no need to worry too much about this." Looking at Feng Linshu, Feng Biluo said, "Second brother, you should have more trust in your brother-in-law and your sister. He'll be fine."

"You're just too carefree. We ordinary people shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing." Although they had been in love, the other party was their brother-in-law, and with so many powerful people in the country, it wasn't their place to do such risky things.

"Second brother... By the way, sister-in-law is about to give birth, right?" Feng Biluo asked Feng Linshu. Feng Linshu was originally talking about Feng Biluo and Ji Huangquan, but when he heard this, he was immediately changed the subject and said with a somewhat complicated expression.

"You mean this? Yes, she'll be giving birth soon, and then... I want a little princess." She said, looking at Feng Biluo, "Just like you, Biluo."

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo smiled and nodded, saying, "Then you have excellent taste, Second Brother. For someone like me, that would be the happiest thing in the world."

When Feng Linshu heard Feng Biluo's words, he said, "You're really shameless. Fine... if you don't want to talk about Ji Huangquan anymore, then we won't."

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo smiled slightly. She glanced at the distance and smiled as she watched Gu Ting making clothes with her mother. She felt something in her heart being soothed.

At this moment, the sight of Gu Ting and Feng's mother seemed to soothe Feng Biluo's heart. Feng Biluo had to admit that she really liked the clothes; they were simple yet exuded a sense of peace.

During these days, Feng Biluo would visit Gu Ting, and not only Gu Ting, but also Dao Tian. During the Spring Festival of 1984, there was basically no rain in the second half of the year. At this time, not only the people of Qishan'ao, but also many people began to worry.

At this time, some people would deliberately pile up stones around the water source and even bring water into their own village. Because of this, Fengjia Village had a conflict with other villages, but fortunately the commune intervened.

"This water can only be stored for one day, one day..." Secretary Li said to the people present. In the struggle for this water source, many people in the village were injured. In the end, the only option was to block each village for only one day.

Upon hearing this, the people behind them became unhappy. "What are we going to do then? If the water reaches our village, all the rice paddies will wither!" some villagers immediately shouted.

“Even if we’re going to pile up water, it has to be done on our side, that’s the only way.” The villagers downstream immediately spoke up when they heard this, and everyone’s face turned grim.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Li also felt a headache coming on. Seeing that the people were arguing and about to fight again, he said, "What are you arguing about? If you keep arguing like this, none of you will get any water."

Hearing this, everyone calmed down. "The water will be distributed by the commune, so you won't feel it's unfair." Although the people from Qishan'ao were unhappy when they heard this, they could only nod.

At this moment, everyone is filled with anger, looking at those upstream. At this moment, Fengjia Village is also close to the upstream, so there is still more water. Even if those downstream are angry, they can't change this.

When Feng Biluo saw the villagers return, she was somewhat surprised. "What happened? They even fought?" Women usually don't get close to men fighting.

Moreover, although male chauvinism is not very obvious in the village, there are times when men will oppose things that women should not do, such as tomb sweeping and Qingming Festival.

At this moment, when they came to the water source, Feng Linshu asked Feng Biluo, "Has it been resolved?" Feng Biluo asked. Feng Linshu nodded and told Feng Biluo the solution to the commune problem. Feng Biluo nodded in agreement.
