Originally, it was just a problem between the Zhao family and the Tian family.
In just a few days, the drought has already spread and affected so many households.
"Xia'er, are you really going to help so many families manage their land? There are some people for whom it wouldn't matter if we didn't help them." He Zhilan looked at Lin Qixia and asked her uncertainly.
Given the current situation, the Lin family doesn't actually need to help every family.
After all, their family hadn't had an easy time in Xiahe Village since Lin Xiao's accident, and most of the villagers hadn't treated them very well.
Lin Qixia replied, "That won't do, after all, they've already paid."
Her thoughts were actually more complex than that; in the chaotic future, winning people's hearts would be even more crucial for a more stable path.
This is a rare opportunity for her.
Besides, I already know the solution, so there's no harm in helping out.
"I see." He Zhilan seemed to understand something upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "That's right, Xia'er did the right thing. It's good for our family to earn more money."
The Lin family is still very poor.
Lin Qixia stretched and went back inside to formulate a plan for managing the wheat fields for the next period of time.
Over the next few days, Lin Qixia shuttled between various fields, constantly busy.
As the weather gets hotter, the drought has finally reached Lichong County, where Xiahe Village is located.
The once green wheat fields had even turned slightly yellow, appearing incredibly dry.
In the past few days, many people have asked Lin Qixia for help, and Lin Qixia has agreed to help them all.
However, she was mainly responsible for giving advice and guidance; she didn't do any of the actual physical work.
After all, with such a heavy workload, her body couldn't handle it. Even so, she was very tired and worked non-stop almost every day.
At the busiest times, there isn't even time to drink a cup of tea.
"That's right, this thickness of straw is just right, no more."
That day, Lin Qixia stood at the edge of Li Shufen's field and, after a thorough inspection, said with satisfaction.
Li Shufen had just finished a busy morning. Wiping the sweat from her face, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks to you, Lin girl, otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do with my land."
She looked at Lin Qixia with a sigh.
Who would have thought that not long ago this girl was someone she trembled at the mere sight of, but now she has done her such a great favor.
Lin Qixia waved her hand: "Aunt Li, there's no need to be so polite. Just focus on getting this land sorted out."
The weather is getting drier and drier, and even the water level of the Nuo River, the largest river near the village, has dropped considerably.
We must hurry, or we'll miss the opportunity.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Lin girl," Li Shufen replied.
She naturally hoped that her land would recover quickly so that she could save this year's harvest.
After finishing her work in Li Shufen's field, Lin Qixia turned around and went back.
However, after taking only a few steps, his path was blocked.
"Oh, Miss Xue, is there something you need?" Lin Qixia raised an eyebrow and asked Xue Yuchan.
There was no one else in this place besides the two of them, and Xue Yuchan rarely appeared here, so it was clear that she had come here specifically to ambush her.
A hint of disgust flashed in Xue Yuchan's narrow eyes: "Lin Qixia, you should know whether I'm alright or not!"
"Me? How would I know?" Lin Qixia laughed, finding Xue Yuchan increasingly interesting.
"You..." Xue Yuchan didn't expect that her threatening tone would be met with disdainful laughter.
She simply grabbed the other person's collar and said, "Give me back the ten coins my father gave you! Our family doesn't need your help!"
Lin Qixia stumbled slightly from being pulled, then her expression changed. "I've already helped manage your land, so I won't refund your money."
She wouldn't help someone for nothing.
"Bullshit! All I did was have my parents water the field and cover it with some straw. How could that possibly save the land?" Xue Yuchan persisted, continuing to question the other party.
Lin Qixia frowned, unable to bear the other person's stupidity any longer.
Finally feeling annoyed, he simply shoved the other person away, shouting coldly, "Let go!"
Xue Yuchan stumbled and fell to the ground after being pushed by her. She couldn't believe it. "You...you hit me?"
"Lin Qixia hit someone! Help!" she shouted, sitting on the ground.
Unfortunately, even though she called out for a long time, no one around her answered.
"Help, help me..."
Xue Yuchan's voice gradually faded, becoming as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
However, she still cursed under her breath, somewhat regretting choosing to ambush Lin Qixia in such a place.
"Heh." Lin Qixia noticed the fear on Xue Yuchan's face, chuckled, squatted down in front of her, and patted her cheek. "Keep shouting, huh? Why aren't you continuing?"
At this moment, her eyes were slightly cold and her aura was sinister, making her look like a demon.
In a daze, Xue Yuchan seemed to see Lin Qixia, who used to be so wicked, return.
He also felt a sense of humiliation because of her actions, saying, "Lin Qixia! You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later for deceiving others like this!"
As she spoke, she scrambled to her feet and fled in a disheveled state.
Lin Qixia stood up, crossed her arms, and watched her run away, saying innocently, "Hey! Didn't you want your ten coins back?"
"I've changed my mind. I can give it back to you. Why are you running so fast?"
Her voice was mocking, clearly indicating that she didn't really intend to do that.
Xue Yuchan stumbled slightly because of her words, but then ran even faster, afraid that Lin Qixia was deliberately trying to trick her into going back so she could beat her up again.
It's all because Lin Qixia acted too gently lately, making her almost forget how ruthless the other party used to be in fights.
"What a coward!" Lin Qixia rolled her eyes at Xue Yuchan as she watched her run away and complained.
However, Xue Yuchan had annoyed her for a long time, and after teaching her a lesson this time, Lin Qixia felt relieved and went home leisurely.
There were more footsteps behind her, and Lin Qixia turned around to see Huo Yanqing.
The two walked quietly, one in front of the other, but the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie.
Lin Qixia couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong?"
The boy then spoke, "Should we kill that person...?"
"No need!" Lin Qixia cut him off before he could finish speaking.
This guy is really... all he thinks about is killing people.
Huo Yanqing lowered his head and replied, "Oh."
After that, a bright, dejected aura emanated from him.
Lin Qixia: "..."
She was speechless for a moment, but fortunately the system did not notify her that Huo Yanqing's dark side value had increased.
Lin Qixia breathed a sigh of relief and casually changed the subject: "So, would you like some Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)?"
"What?" Huo Yanqing was taken aback and asked her.
Lin Qixia said, "It's a really delicious noodle dish. I suddenly wanted to eat it. If you want to eat it too, I can make it myself today and save a bowl for you."
