Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"That's right! Dr. Su brought his own medicine and saved our whole village! Now they want to kick us out just for a little water? I, Old Wang, will be the first to object!"

"Exactly! Chen Zhiqing, you have your own place to live, what kind of skill is it to try and steal a female comrade's house!"

Chen Weidong's face turned ashen when he saw that someone dared to oppose him, and his tone became vicious.

"Fine! You're all so high and mighty! You're all so loyal! Then you can stay here guarding this broken well that can't draw water and wait for all the wheat to wither and die! I'm telling you, without the water I bring, you'll be eating tree bark this winter! You need to decide for yourselves whether you want a house or food to survive!"

"I think... how about we have Captain Tian give up his house for Dr. Su to live in, and then Dr. Su can give the big house to Chen, the educated youth? Our troupe can give Captain Tian and Dr. Su some extra work points or food, would that be alright?"

"This is a great idea! Captain Tian, ​​are you willing to put up with this? It's all for everyone's benefit..."

The pressure instantly shifted to Tian Dahua. Her face turned ashen; it seemed they'd finally come back to her! But she was getting married to Erzhuzi next month!

She endured five years in a drafty mud-brick house, finally hoping for a brick house of her own as her wedding home. Why should she give it up?! Just because she's easy to talk to?

Liu Shuqing's face was also grim. "Chen Zhiqing, how about this? Dr. Su has already settled in, and Captain Tian is about to get things done. The regiment will provide the money and manpower, and right next door, we'll build you a brick house even bigger than this one within three to five days! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Not very good."

Chen Weidong scoffed. "I want her room. I, Chen Weidong, never give up what I set my sights on." He paused, staring defiantly at Su Wanqing. "Unless... Su, the educated youth, comes in person to apologize and beg for my forgiveness. If I'm in a better mood, perhaps I'll consider other options."

Liu Shuqing's face darkened completely: "Chen Weidong! Are you leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever?"

"Yes!" Chen Weidong said, raising his head.

Zhang Yan, gloating from the side, said, "Why don't you apologize to Chen instead? This matter will be easier to resolve, and Chen will be magnanimous and forgive you. Otherwise, do you want to be the sinner of our group?"

He hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Water is coming out!! Water is coming out!!"

A nearly deafening shout of ecstatic joy erupted from the direction of the well!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the well in a rush!

At the bottom of the once-dry pit, a stream of murky water was gushing out from a crack in the side wall, growing faster and faster until it soon submerged the bottom of the pit.

"My God! It's really overflowing!"

"Great! There's water!"

The crowd erupted in deafening cheers.

Sister Zhao stared in disbelief, then forced a snort and said, "Hmph! How much water is that? What can it do? It's not even enough to water the ground!"

Chen Weidong immediately chimed in, "Exactly! This little bit of water can only save a few acres of land. It's a drop in the ocean! We still need my uncle's water tanker!"

However, the reality check came swiftly.

The well water seemed endless, gushing out at an undiminished speed, and the water level rose rapidly.

Wang Tiezhu exclaimed, "Make way! Something's wrong with this water! Let me handle it!"

As a professional, he realized that the water volume was extraordinary. He immediately took off his coat, revealing his strong arms, and jumped in without saying a word, groping to clean the well walls and guide the water flow.

Under his control, the well water seemed to have its floodgates opened completely, no longer gushing out, but almost gushing forth! The clear water quickly filled most of the deep well, with a force as powerful as a small waterfall!

Sister Zhao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and she was speechless with her mouth agape.

Wang Tiezhu spent half a day working down there, ensuring the water flow was smooth and the well walls were secure, before climbing up, soaked to the bone but with a face full of excitement.

He was panting heavily. "This is truly astonishing! I've been digging wells for over a decade, and I've never seen such a rapid and massive water flow! Is this connected to an underground spring? The water volume is frighteningly abundant! And look at this water—clear, sweet, and without a single impurity; you can drink it directly! Comrade Su, I misjudged the situation before, and it almost delayed something crucial! Your choice of location is brilliant!"

Su Wanqing smiled slightly and handed over several packs of Daqianmen cigarettes she had taken from inside the house.

"Master Wang, you're too kind. We owe you so much for helping to clear the water today, and for lending us the impact drill. Otherwise, how could we have seen water so quickly on our own? Please accept this small token of our appreciation as compensation for the wasted diesel and your hard work."

How could it not be big? She just took advantage of everyone arguing and used her spatial abilities to move hundreds of cubic meters of soil away and replace it with spiritual spring water!

Wang Tiezhu rubbed his hands awkwardly, but still accepted the cigarette.

"Comrade Su, you're too kind! It's no big deal! This well is good, and the water is even better! Your village is so lucky!" He weighed the heavy cigarette in his hand. "Dr. Su, I see you're in a hurry to irrigate the fields, but carrying water by hand is too slow! Here's what I'll do: I'll go back to the county and get you the diesel water pump that our team has on hand! You'll have to figure out how to get the diesel yourself."

"That's great! Thank you so much, Master Wang!" Su Wanqing immediately thanked him and handed him two more packs of cigarettes.

Wang Tiezhu was even more satisfied. He immediately took out a cigarette and clipped it to his ear. In those days, being able to clip a cigarette to your ear was a status symbol.

He patted his cousin, who looked dazed and as if she had lost her soul: "Xiao Juan, forget it, it's a good thing that you got water. I wanted to tell you before, even if you didn't get any, it's too cruel to deduct a year's worth of work points from that young girl. It's not easy for anyone."

After saying that, he ignored Sister Zhao's colorful expression, greeted Liu Shuqing, and then rode his bicycle back home in a hurry to get the water pump.

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

"It's overflowing! And it's so big!"

"Master Wang said it's from an underground spring, and the water is plentiful and sweet!"

"Our crops are saved!"

"Dr. Su! You're a true saint! You're our savior!"

"Who just said that Dr. Su should give up her house? I'm the first to disagree!"

"Yes! From now on, we'll listen to Dr. Su!"

Liu Shuqing, his face flushed with excitement, waved his hand and shouted, "What are you all standing around for! Go home and get buckets and carrying poles! Everyone, get to work immediately and water the seedlings! Until the water pump arrives, even if you have to carry the water by hand, you have to get it to the fields!"

"good!"

Someone was extremely thirsty and couldn't resist cupping their hands to drink some well water. They immediately exclaimed, "Wow! This water is sweet! It's so delicious!"

"Of course! Master Wang said it's spring water!"

"It tastes so good!"

Looking at the scene of universal celebration and his own embarrassing situation of being completely ignored, Chen Weidong's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
