"Thank you, Aunt He."
Yunxia didn't respond, but Tian Ye'er was quick to thank He Zhilan.
With more people helping, there's a greater chance that his land will improve.
He Zhilan was amused by Tian Ye'er's call and affectionately patted her head: "Hey!"
"Let's go." Yunxia said this and turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, He Zhilan immediately followed and called out, "Yunxia, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"
She quickened her pace to catch up with Yunxia.
"What is it?" Yunxia asked her expressionlessly.
He Zhilan: "It's about your Tian Sheng's matter before. Xiao Ge told me about it, so I wanted to tell you..."
"Really?" Yunxia was taken aback, not expecting that more than a year had passed since then.
The first thing He Zhilan said when she met her again was this.
Yunxia was surprised that He Zhilan had been avoiding her for so long, but this time she took the initiative to bring it up. After thinking for a moment, she gestured to He Zhilan, "Go ahead and say it."
"Hmm." He Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Xiao was willing to listen, and then recounted what Lin Xiao had told her.
As Yunxia listened, her eyes gradually reddened.
Lin Qixia and Tian Ye'er were left behind. They looked at each other and Lin Qixia noticed the worry in Tian Ye'er's eyes. So she said to her, "Don't worry, Ye'er. Your mother and Aunt Zhilan are friends."
A year ago, Tian Ye'er was still young, so she probably doesn't remember.
Tian Ye'er responded, "Okay."
The two then walked behind on the country road, while He Zhilan and Yunxia walked ahead, talking to each other.
Because of the distance, Lin Qixia couldn't hear clearly.
Although she was quite curious, it was ultimately a matter between them, and she didn't want to get involved.
Fortunately, the two of them were just talking, and the atmosphere was calm.
Especially when they were almost at the location of the Tian family's house, Yunxia even allowed He Zhilan to take her arm.
"That's great." Lin Qixia breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Ye'er looked up at her in confusion. Lin Qixia smiled and said to her, "Your mother and Aunt Zhilan had a conflict before, but they should be making up now."
"Really? That's wonderful." Tian Ye'er exclaimed upon hearing this.
Lin Qixia sighed, "Yes, it's really nice..."
Looking at the two of them, Lin Qixia vaguely thought of her good friend in modern times.
Although He Zhilan and Yunxia are both elders, people in ancient times mature early, and they are only in their early thirties.
Fortunately, their conflict did not last.
Life is long, and you should always have close friends by your side so that you don't leave any regrets.
"In short, Yunxia, don't worry. Although Tian Sheng is gone, Xiao Ge and I will definitely take care of you and Ye'er from now on," He Zhilan said sincerely to Yunxia.
At this moment, Yunxia had mixed feelings as she listened to He Zhilan recount the details of the accident that happened a year ago.
It took him a while to recover. He forced a smile at He Zhilan and said, "I misunderstood Brother Xiao before. I thought he refused to tell me the truth about what happened back then because he did something to wrong Tian Sheng, and even killed him with his own hands. That's why he felt guilty and didn't dare to tell me."
"So, according to you, it wasn't his fault."
"Even so, we...we are still sorry to you after this." He Zhilan still felt very apologetic towards Yunxia.
After all, Tian Sheng saved her husband Lin Xiao, yet she and Lin Xiao were so indifferent to his wife and children.
To even avoid seeing them is truly...
"Since you feel sorry for me, then have your second sister help me save those few acres of land." Seeing He Zhilan's expression, Yunxia simply teased her in a mocking tone.
He Zhilan was taken aback, then her expression turned serious: "Of course! We will definitely do our best to help you!"
Even if the land can't be saved, as long as the Lin family has something to eat, they won't let the Tian family mother and daughter go hungry!
Yunxia was amused by He Zhilan's appearance: "I didn't expect that after more than a year, you still haven't changed."
It seems that He Zhilan and Lin Xiao have gradually recovered from the blow of that incident.
She herself needs to act quickly.
"We've arrived!" Seeing that they had finished chatting, Lin Qixia put down the cart and came over to ask Yunxia, "Is there a ditch nearby where we can fetch water?"
"Fetch water?" Yunxia was somewhat taken aback when she heard Lin Qixia's suggestion.
"W-What's wrong?" Lin Qixia's expression froze when she saw her reaction.
She suddenly felt... that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next second Yunxia said to her, "Forget about the Nuohe River. It's on the other side of the village. The nearest ditch is quite far away, about two kilometers away."
"Two kilometers..." Lin Qixia forced a smile, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
I never imagined that accomplishing what I wanted to do would be so much more difficult than I had thought.
But she quickly rallied: "It's okay! Even if it's two kilometers away, we'll bring water over today to irrigate the fields!"
"Keep it up, everyone!"
Clearly, this difficulty couldn't defeat Lin Qixia, and she became proactive again.
Seeing this, Yunxia and He Zhilan exchanged a smile.
Actually, when Lin Qixia asked them to bring the bucket over, they roughly guessed what she wanted to do.
I was also a little worried that if I told her about the difficulty of the matter, she would back down.
After all, this girl had never done such heavy work before, but unexpectedly, she decided to continue without any hesitation.
"Aunt Yunxia, where is that river you mentioned?" Lin Qixia asked Yunxia.
Yunxia pointed to her right: "Go straight that way."
"Okay!" Lin Qixia replied, pushing the cart away.
Looking at Lin Qixia's determined figure, Yunxia sighed, "It seems this child is serious."
“Of course,” He Zhilan replied, her tone tinged with a hint of pride.
After that, they went together to help Lin Qixia transport water.
Two kilometers away, Lin Qixia stopped the cart and went down into the river.
The riverbed was actually quite dry; a large portion of the riverbed was exposed on both banks, with only some water remaining at the bottom.
Fortunately, it hasn't completely dried up yet.
"Great! There really is water!" Lin Qixia stood on the riverbank and cheered excitedly.
He Zhilan, standing not far behind her, smiled and said, "Alright, hurry up and fetch the water. We need to finish before dark."
If they want to do what Lin Qixia wants to do, then time is of the essence and cannot be delayed.
"Okay!" Lin Qixia replied and quickly got to work.
Yunxia and He Zhilan both came to help.
Even Tian Ye'er came over and huffed and puffed as she helped carry the buckets.
Although she couldn't actually muster much strength.
They carried water back and forth to the Tian family's fields to irrigate them.
The sun overhead grew increasingly scorching, but despite the difficulties, the group remained highly motivated due to Lin Qixia's subtle influence.
They finally finished watering the land by nightfall.
"Finally done!" Lin Qixia stood at the other end of the wheat field, looking at the day's work with a sense of accomplishment.
“Yes.” Yunxia, standing beside her, turned to look at her and asked, “What’s next? What are you planning to do?”
