Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 221 They were exiled

"What my aunt said is true."

"I hope my uncle and aunt will give more consideration to the matter of digging a well. Yueyue has some important matters to attend to at home, so I will go back first."

"Chengchengcheng, when your uncle comes back, I will go to your house with him, how about that?"

"Okay, you two elders can come over anytime." As she said that, An Yue stood up and walked out of the main hall.

Qin stood up with An Yue, and An Yue walked to the yard and put on the backpack.

Qin looked at An Yue carrying a basket full of pig grass and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Yue girl, you previously raised silkworms and chickens, and now you are raising piglets. Can your small body still handle it?"

"Don't worry, aunt! With Chunzhi's help, Yueyue won't be tired." An Yue said with a pretty smile, and walked towards the gate of the yard carrying the backpack.

"That's good, that's good. But don't tire yourself out!" Qin gave instructions as she escorted An Yue out of the courtyard gate.

Qin watched An Yue walk away before slowly turning around and returning to the yard.

After a while, An Yue returned to her home carrying a backpack.

She put the backpack under the eaves and went to wash her hands.

Then, collect the mint leaves and honeysuckle that were washed before lunch, and dry the washed jars.

An Yue put all the mint leaves and honeysuckle into the jar, and then poured in the strong liquor she had bought.

Then, An Yue sealed the jar tightly and placed it in a cool corner of the west room.

He walked out of the east wing, muttering to himself, "Next, wait another seven days and it will be done!"

Then she went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and sat in the yard to cut grass for the pigs.

dong dong dong...

Suddenly, someone was knocking on the gate of the yard, and the little dog Bashi kept barking at the gate.

"Is Yueyue at home?" It was Qin's voice.

"I'm at home!" An Yue responded, quickly put down the kitchen knife in her hand, and ran quickly to open the gate of the yard.

"You two are here!" When I opened the door, I saw it was the village head and his wife.

Qin walked into the yard, looked at the pig grass in the yard, and asked with a smile: "Is Yueyue cutting pig grass at home?"

An Yue brought out a bench from the main hall and said to the village head and his wife, "Yes! Uncles and aunts, please sit down."

After the village chief Li Huairen walked into the yard, he looked around the yard, sat on a bench, and laughed, "Haha... Yueyue's yard is well tidy."

Qin looked at the roses on the courtyard wall and agreed, "Yes! Girls are good at making trouble. The whole courtyard looks full of vitality."

An Yue poured a bowl of water for the village head and his wife, then she sat back on the small stool and cut grass for the pigs.

"The grape trellis in your yard is great for keeping cool in the summer. Yueyue also wants to transplant two grape saplings from you two!"

"Okay, okay, Yueyue, come and dig anytime." Qin said with a smile.

"Nowadays, Yue girl's life is so prosperous! On the other hand, An Chengde's family... oh!" said the village chief, sighing and shaking his head.

Qin asked curiously, "Oh, by the way, did you go and ask about their current situation today?"

When mentioning this matter, the village chief looked a little worried.

He replied: "Regarding their case, the court has already issued a verdict."

"How is the result?"

"They were sent to the arid northwest to build reservoirs and river embankments."

When An Yue heard what the village chief said, she frowned and her heart skipped a beat.

She couldn't describe her mood at the moment as sad, nor happy; she just felt that everything was God's will.

The biggest reason why they ended up like this is that when they were in a high position, they were so heartless and disloyal to their relatives and friends.

He is too sharp in his daily behavior and does not get along well with his neighbors.

Now, the blessing is finally far away.

An Yue asked calmly: "Did you tell me how long it will take?"

Village chief Li Huairen took a deep breath and said, "Hiss... They say it will take five years, but I guess it depends on their luck over there!"

Qin lowered her head and sighed, "Alas! All the men in this family have been exiled, leaving only the three women at home. Their future life will be miserable!"

The village chief was so angry that he couldn't help but slap his thigh: "Hey! God's will can be avoided, but they are just asking for trouble!"

An Yue didn't say anything else, but just silently cut the pig grass in her hand.

After the village head and his wife complained for a while, they suddenly remembered the purpose of their visit to Anyue's house.

So the village chief got straight to the point and asked, "Oh, by the way, Yueyue, I just heard from your aunt that you were looking for me to discuss something important with me?"

An Yue stopped what she was doing, faced the village chief, and said seriously: "Uncle, Yueyue wants to say that it has been more than three months and there has not been a drop of rain. Many of the terraces in the village have dried up and cracked, and even the water in the paddy fields is gradually running out."

When the village chief heard what An Yue said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and was a little surprised.

An Yue continued, "Uncle knows that Yueyue's family has already dug a deep well, and it is more than ten feet deep. Even if there is a drought, there is still some water in the deep well, so people won't die of thirst."

"But it's different for the villagers. There are nearly a hundred households in our village. Once a drought strikes, not to mention the crops and livestock in the fields, even drinking water becomes a big problem for us."

Qin nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Anyue's statement: "Yueyue is right. Although our village has not encountered a real drought in the past few years."

"But right now, it has not rained for three consecutive months. If it still does not rain in ten days or half a month, it is hard to say what will happen next."

Village chief Li Huairen nodded repeatedly, then asked, "Then Yueyue, tell me, how should we deal with it next?"

An Yue also directly expressed her thoughts: "Now that farm work is not busy, Yueyue thinks that we should use the strength of the whole village to dig a few more public deep wells in the village to prevent drought."

"Let's take a step back and say that no matter if there is a drought or not, having a deep well in the village will be a hundred benefits for us villagers, and at least we won't be worried, right?"

After hearing this, Village Chief Li Huairen's eyes flashed with admiration. He did not expect that An Yue, at such a young age, had such insight and foresight.

He smiled and said, "It's great to hear what Yueyue said, great! To be honest, I have been thinking about this matter for the past two days. This matter concerns the whole village, and it is a big deal. I have been a little undecided."

"However, after hearing what Yueyue said today, I am more certain of my thoughts."

"Yueyue, do you have a specific implementation plan for digging the well?"

"There are less than a hundred households in our village. Yueyue thinks so. Every ten households..."

An Yue told all her thoughts to the village head and his wife.
