Ling Huanwu, panting as she carried the water, still managed to finish speaking in one breath, looking at the production team leader with hopeful eyes.
Unable to explain to others that this was a magical spring that could revive withered trees, she could only try this method of lying.
Will this work?
The production team leader hesitated as he looked at the water in the bucket, which was no different from well water.
But when he thought about how Ling Huanwu had helped the villagers these days, frequently sending meat, rice, and clothes to families who couldn't afford meat, he couldn't help but think about it.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, since things are already like this, let's just try anything, even if it's a long shot?"
Ling Huanwu immediately beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly.

"Commander Zhou is really unlucky to have married such a shrewd and capable wife."
"Oh dear, we have to be understanding of her. She's just a city girl who loves to show off. If she could bring the rice in the fields back to life, I'd run to the toilet and eat shit upside down, hahaha..."
Just as the women from the family compound finished laughing on the edge of the field, the excited voices of the villagers rose and fell, completely drowning out their jeers.
