six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 217
There used to be two public wells in Da'ao Village, one at the head of the village and one at the end of the village, but the well at the end of the village was strange because a daughter-in-law was accused of stealing by her husband's family more than ten years ago. , Not long after the daughter-in-law jumped into the well, the well slowly dried up. Some people said that it was caused by the ghost of the daughter-in-law, and then asked the sorceress to seal it up.

Now it costs a lot of money to drill a well. If you live a prosperous life, you will save money from your teeth to dig a well to get water. Few of the average family can dig a well. Now there are wells in Da’ao Village. There are no more than ten households, and Su Liu is one of them, and even the haunted house has a well.

Therefore, most of the villagers’ drinking water comes from this well in the village. It’s okay if it’s nearby, but it’s more troublesome for people far away, especially in winter. It’s a painful job.

How much drinking water can a well support?Now that the weather is like this again, this water well has become a treasure. No, some people are arguing about it.

Su Liu walked over, and someone said that the eldest girl was here.

The eldest girl is nothing more than Miss Su, that Su Liu whose future husband is the great general, everyone knows that it is Su Liu who has come after that person said so.

"Miss, you came just in time. You are a noble person with great fortune. You come to judge." A daughter-in-law in her twenties and thirties pointed to a woman of about the same age opposite her and said, "This well is well-known." It's shared by the big guys. We don't use the water from this well for eating and drinking. Everyone knows that the weather is hot, and the water in the well is getting less and less. They all know that, but this bitch is good, saying that he wants to carry water Go to bathe your own pig. Tell me, is there such a selfish person? Should she do this?"

"That's right, we can't drink enough, and we even bathe pigs, bitch, you're not a big deal."

"No, everyone is waiting for water."

The onlookers were all accusing, but the bastard girl with a red and white face, sat on the ground with a wow, patted her thigh and howled: "What can I do, my two pigs are so hot that they are almost out of breath , What can I do? These two pigs are the life of our family, and we all point to them to eat, do you want to see our family die? Woohoo."

"Why don't you pick them from the river?"

"That's right, rush to wash in the river, isn't that okay?"

Su Liu was so quarreled that she had no choice but to shout: "Stop arguing."

The crowd fell silent, they all looked at Su Liu who was wearing a beautiful brocade dress, and shrank a little, even the dog girl didn't dare to howl.

"It's such a big deal, why are you arguing about it?" Su Liu snorted, "Isn't it just two buckets of water, and it's worth your arguing?"

"Miss, it seems that there is less water." Someone said.

"If there is no water, go to the well in my old house." Su Liu dropped a sentence and went to look at the well.

Looking with the probe, more than half of the well water that was originally full has fallen, and Su Liu's forehead can wrinkle into a Sichuan character. This phenomenon is not a sign that it is about to dry up, right?
Everyone didn't understand Su Liu's actions, so someone boldly asked: "Miss, what are you doing?"

"I'll just take a look." Su Liu didn't reveal too much, seeing buckets all around, said: "Everyone is from the village, you take a step back, I take a step back, isn't it all right? Why bother arguing about this bad thing?" There is really no water here, so you can go to the well in my old house. Aunt Goudan, the weather is hot and everyone is in short supply of water. If you just bathe the pigs, you can go to the river to pick two buckets and come back.”

"Why? This well belongs to the public, why can't I pick it?" Goudanniang was a little annoyed.

"It's because the water in this well is running low!" Su Liu raised his voice and said, "This is drinking water. No one knows why the water is running low. It's getting hotter and hotter now, so everyone should use it sparingly. Aunt Goudan, you don’t want to run out of water in the future, do you?”

"This..." Goudanniang hesitated for a while.

"As I said, there is not enough water. If you don't think it's too far away, go to the well on the other side of the house to fetch water. If you have a well in your house, let your neighbors pick some. If you help each other and love each other, you help me today, and I will help you tomorrow. Everyone is really good, isn't it? Why bother to fight?" Su Liu said to everyone again.

"The eldest girl said yes."

"Miss is right, my house also has a well, and you can pick it too." Someone said.

"I, I'm going to fetch water from the river." Goudanniang got up from the ground and said in shame.

"Forget it, you're already fighting, can you go back?" The daughter-in-law who accused her at first pointed to the two buckets at her feet and said, "It's hot today, and I'm just getting angry, auntie Don't annoy me."

"I don't annoy you, I don't annoy you, I'm just trying to get close, lazy."

Seeing that the two quarreling people had reconciled, Su Liu also showed a smile on his face. The people in the village, after all, are simple, and once again said that the well in their home can be fetched by everyone, so Su Liu walked away under the gratitude and praise of everyone. come out.

After walking a few steps, she saw Su Chuntao standing in front of her looking at her unkindly.

"Miss Su is so majestic!" Su Chuntao looked at her with a cold voice, especially when she saw Su Liu wearing silk and satin, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

Su Chuntao has also grown up a lot, but because she was tortured by the Huang family recently, her small face is sallow and sallow, her clothes are also patched, and her head is wrapped with a floral cloth. Looking at it like this, she looks like a little village girl .

Su Liu squinted at her, saw two buckets at her feet, and said, "Why, the Su family wants you to carry water now?"

If it is said who Zhou's mother and daughter are most reluctant to see, it must be Su Liu and their three mothers. Everyone's mood is like this, and they may not be better than their down-and-out people in the past, especially in the current situation of the two parties It's even more important if you transfer it.

Therefore, when Su Chuntao saw Su Liu, her psychology was extremely distorted, especially when she was down and out, and when Su Liu was extremely glamorous, this strong gap made her almost crazy with jealousy, not to mention that Su Liu was respected by everyone , majestic.

Look at Su Liu, wearing gold and silver, calling slaves and maidservants, husband-in-law is a famous general, and will be a general's wife in the future, and she has nothing. I don't know what will be said about this marriage in the future, especially It's still like this at home.

Su Chuntao has no choice but to be jealous, she was also born by a father, Su Liu was born with six fingers, why is she living so well, and she is getting worse day by day, now, who would say she is a charming lady coming?

The distorted psychology made Su Chuntao's sallow face a bit grim, and said viciously: "Su Liu, don't be complacent, the general is gone, he doesn't want you anymore, and you will cry in the future."

Su Liu giggled, walked forward, and said: "If you don't want it, then you don't want it. With my current appearance and this dowry, you still worry that I can't find a good one to marry? Sister Chuntao, you, or Worry about yourself, be careful that you won’t know if you will be sold in the future.”

"You..." Su Chuntao's expression changed, and he glared at Su Liu viciously.

Su Liu doesn't have time to talk to her, she still has some ideas that she wants to implement, so she doesn't have time to play this verbal argument with her!
Seeing the back of Su Liuyan leaving, Su Chuntao gritted her teeth, her eyes wished to stare at Su Liu, why, why?She is unwilling!

Su Chuntao's willingness and unwillingness Su Liu didn't know, she told Chen Shi and Su Xiaoyi what she thought, and after getting their consent, she sent someone to find Li Zheng and the village head.

What is Su Liu's status now?That is the No. [-] nobleman in Da'ao Village, just because she is the future wife of the great general, it is enough to make people awe-inspiring.

So, when they heard that she had something to discuss, Zhao Lizheng and the village head Su Qingxiang almost came here, and after sitting for a while, they heard Su Liu speak out her thoughts.

"You said, how many wells will your family pay for the village?" Zhao Lizheng looked at Su Liu in astonishment, and exchanged glances with Su Qingxiang. They must have heard correctly.

Su Liu nodded with a smile, and said: "I just saw that it is troublesome for the villagers to fetch water. Especially now that the weather is hot and it hasn't rained for a month, I feel uneasy , drill a few more wells, and if there is a severe drought, there will be enough water for everyone to use.”

Speaking of the weather, both Zhao Lizheng and Su Qingxiang couldn't sit still, and said: "The weather is really abnormal. Could it be that there will be a severe drought?"

"Cai'er, I walked outside for a while, and the water in the river is already quite shallow. Even the water in the well at the head of the village has receded by more than half. Didn't Lizheng notice?"

Zhao Lizheng blushed, he hesitated, unable to explain why.

"If there is no severe drought, that would be great. Having more wells in the village will make it easier for everyone to use water. Those at the end of the village will not have to go to the head of the village to fetch water. If there is a severe drought, it will ensure that the villagers will not use water too much. If there is a lack of water, it can be regarded as a precautionary measure." Su Liu said lightly.

When Zhao Lizheng heard this, he stood up and gave Su Liu a long bow, and said in shame, "Miss Dayi, I am really ashamed of myself here."

As a lizheng, he didn't expect this, and he was ashamed of being far less visionary than a little girl.

Su Liu avoided it again and again, and said: "Zhao Lizheng is busy with affairs, so I didn't think of it for a while, and I only thought of it when I saw them arguing today."

"Young lady's kindness is righteous. On behalf of the villagers, I would like to thank you." Zhao Lizheng shook his head.

Knowing that the chatter was going on, Su Liu would talk more, so she changed the topic and said, "I don't know much about well drilling, so I'll dig wells in the village, and if I need to dig a few wells, I'll leave it to Zhao Lizheng and the village chief are in charge. As for the cost and wages required for drilling the well, just come to me and get it.”

Zhao Lizheng and Su Qingxiang responded repeatedly, and agreed on some precautions, and then they withdrew.

After leaving the gate of Su's house, Zhao Lizheng patted Su Qingxiang on the shoulder and said, "Brother Su, I just realized today why this girl Su Liu is so lucky. She is very kind in her heart!"

Su Qingxiang showed a wry smile, and Su Liu's move spread, and he didn't know how much good reputation he would get.Thinking of his cousin, third brother, he really pushed a blessed person away!
