Her family was well-off, and the grain they had stockpiled could last them three to five years.
The key point is the water source!
In her opinion, Chijia'ao is currently the area in Jianzhou Prefecture with the least water shortage!
Why not mention Xiechi'ao? Because Xiechi'ao has no wells.
After the river dries up, there are only two options.
They either go into the Beilian Mountains to fetch water, or come down to Chijia'ao to get it.
Although she knew that the well at the entrance of Chijia'ao Village was almost dry.
However, the well in the old Chi family's courtyard is truly quite special.
There was some water before, but not much.
But as soon as the fish returned, the water level rose again.
She didn't want to delve into the reasons, as long as she knew there was no shortage of water here.
If her parents come over, it will be more convenient for them to fetch water from Chijia'ao if their well in Tanshan runs out of water!
Zhong Yufeng was still young and didn't know what her mother was really thinking.
Hearing their conversation, and fearing they might develop a rift, he quickly changed the subject.
"Aunt, ever since Scholar Song left on business, Aunt Su Yu's family has had a problem getting water."
An'an and her younger brother are still young, and Aunt Su Yu herself is a weak woman.
It would be very difficult for them to come down the mountain to retrieve it and then carry it back.
There are more than ten households in Xiechi'ao with similar circumstances to theirs.
Now, it's mostly Brother Kang who leads the team to help them choose.
"Yes, they let us choose about once every three days!"
She paused deliberately at this point before continuing:
“Just fetching water for these people every day takes up a lot of Ah Kang’s time.”
Auntie, do you have any ideas to help solve this?
Chi Yu glanced at her in surprise, not believing that Zhong Yufeng, with her keen insight, couldn't solve this problem.
Besides, even if she couldn't figure it out, surely her mother could find a solution?
Despite having these thoughts in mind, Chi Yu still answered truthfully:
"If things were as you say, that would indeed be inappropriate."
Although Sister-in-law Su Yu is frail, she managed to come all the way from Mingyang County to our side. How frail could she be?
Besides, An'an and Song Xiao are not children; they are both over ten years old.
If one person can't lift it, then two people can.
Or, to put it another way, surely it would be alright if everyone carried half a bucket?
As for other families, they can follow the same method.
Ah Kang can help once or twice, but it won't work if he does it every time.
Once this became a habit, it became Ah Kang's job, or rather, his responsibility.
He helped out of good intentions, but if he stopped helping one day, it would become his fault.
I believe your mother understands this principle too.
After saying this, Chi Yu looked at Wang Yunjuan.
Before the other party could answer, the voice of Chi Sanhe, the elder of the three clans, came from outside the door.
"Little Fish, are you there?"
"exist!"
Chi Yu subconsciously responded, then gestured to Wang Yunjuan and her daughter before getting up and walking out.
When she reached the eaves, she saw the second and third clan elders, their heads covered in sweat, standing outside the door waving.
She was a little confused, but she still went over.
The second and third clan elders, avoiding people, sneaked into the soap workshop like thieves.
They carefully looked around to make sure no one was there, then the two elders lowered their voices and said:
“Little Fish, you came back yesterday, so you must have seen the situation at Tiger Head Cliff Lake.”
There's only a layer of silt left there now, but there are still some fish living under the silt.
We told our clan chief that we'd have someone catch the fish tonight.
