After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 243 Digging a Well
Of course Su Nanzhen didn't recognize it, it was also the first time she saw Old Weitou.

Maybe he thought it would be embarrassing to listen to her, a little woman. Su Nanzhen didn't want to gossip behind her back, but just listened silently to Guan Lizheng's muttering without answering.

After a busy day, Su Yihuan came to her just after dinner and asked her if she had encountered a horse thief, if she had reported to the police, and if she had been injured.

"I asked Ah Wu to report to the authorities. With him and Fu Rong around, I will be fine."

"That's good. I'll look into this after I go back. You should pay attention when you go in and out. There is also Eggy, don't let him run around by himself."

The more Su Yihuan thought about it, the more worried she became. She was worried that horse thieves would target them and want to arrest them for ransom. She felt that they were not very safe in the village, and she couldn't stop worrying.

"Understood, I still regret my life. It's night, uncle should go back to rest first. You have to continue digging the well tomorrow, so you have to get up early."

"Then I'll go back first."

After all, Su Yihuan went back worried.

The digging of the well continued the next day, but Su Nanzhen didn't go to watch. He just inspected the growth of the potatoes, and then recorded the growth of the potatoes.

Without Pei Songzhi helping her draw the growth of potatoes, she had no choice but to calm down, and the potatoes she drew were still acceptable.

Guessing that the potatoes were about to germinate, Su Nanzhen asked Ah Wu to notify those people to come and plant potatoes.

Ah Wu came back and told her that the three people on Mrs. Guan's side had successfully germinated the potatoes, and Mrs. Qu's side hadn't seen any shadow yet.

Su Nanzhen didn't worry about this matter either. The difference of one or two days was acceptable, so she asked Ah Wu to talk to her uncle and Old Weitou, and asked them to come to his home for dinner at noon.

Ah Wu responded and turned around to go out.

"I'm going to cook, don't let Eggy toss the rabbit to death." Su Nanzhen turned her head and said to Mu Furong, looking at the son who was chasing the rabbit all over the yard, and then glanced at the open door. I fell into another big circle that I couldn't get out of.

Mu Furong nodded solemnly, and Eggy felt that it was a novelty to run after the rabbit all over the yard. Gouzi came over to take a look, and after a while, he felt bored and went home.

Rabbit probably lasted until he got bored.

There was a burst of cheers outside, which was far away and could not be heard clearly, Su Nanzhen came out, and went out curiously to look, it seemed that it came from the place where the well was dug.

"The water has been dug out." Mu Furong said with a smile.

It is not easy to successfully dig a well in Yanzhou, and it is no wonder that the villagers are so excited when the old Weitou dug for more than a day and the water came out.

"The borehole was not dug so quickly." Su Nanzhen said lightly, then turned and went into the kitchen again.

When Ah Wu came back, Old Wei said that the well hadn't been dug yet, so his tone should be interesting.

Su Nanzhen only responded lightly, not in a hurry, and asked Mu Furong to see if Eggy was sweating, if she was sweating, she had to wipe it off, it was hot and cold this day.

Thinking of this, Su Nanzhen subconsciously looked in the direction of the potato field, and prepared the meal. Before Su Yihuan and the others came, she went out, pulled the straw to check the temperature of the soil, and it was not too high.

"Uncle, are you tired?" Seeing Su Yihuan and the others coming back, Su Nanzhen trotted forward, "The food is ready, and I'll be waiting for you."

"Why is he tired?" Old Wei snorted coldly.

Su Nanzhen apologized, and after saying a few good words, Lao Wei's head looked a little better.

It's just that his good face changed after seeing the food she cooked, Guan Li happened to talk badly and said that he would be invited to his house to eat and drink well, so old Weitou reluctantly followed.

"What happened to me?" Su Nanzhen asked Su Yihuan a little depressed.

"I forgot to tell you that old Weitou likes heavy tastes and he has prejudice against women. Don't worry about it. I'll explain it to him. It's fine." Su Yihuan comforted her, and didn't stay for dinner.

They don't eat, it's cheaper for Ah Wu and the others.

After lunch, Eggy began to doze off and stopped running.

She only coaxed people for a while and then fell asleep. Su Nanzhen looked at the rabbit who was also depressed and asked Ah Wu to find a similar rabbit and bring it back. This rabbit will be kept and raised well, and the two rabbits will take turns to practice with him. a little better.

The work of digging the well didn't end so quickly. After lunch, Su Yihuan went back to the yamen and the county magistrate to report the situation here.

Yao Dan also came back before dark. He heard about Su Nanzhen's encounter with a horse thief, but he didn't find any useful clues on his own.

Although there were two horse thieves, the result of the investigation was that they had been kicked out long ago and had left Yanzhou.

Su Nanzhen was not surprised by this result at all. The other party was fully prepared, and he was not an ordinary horse thief, and did not leave any clues for them.

"It's almost time for me to go back to Yanjing." Yao Dan looked at her and said suddenly.

"When?" Su Nanzhen asked in surprise.

"I plan to stay here for two more days." Yao Dan thought for a while, and then said, "Is there anything you need me to bring back to Yanjing for you?"

"No." Su Nanzhen thought for a while, she didn't have any friends in Yanjing, and the letter had just been sent not long ago.

"I understand, then I'll go back first." Yao Dan took a step back, then turned and left.

Su Nanzhen looked at his back and didn't understand what he understood, but they had been standing at the gate talking just now, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that they didn't invite anyone into the room.

One day, two days, nearly four days to dig the well.

Towards the end, Su Nanzhen vaguely understood from Su Yihuan's letter why the old Weitou had so many opinions on her. Unexpectedly, the old Weitou looked very dignified, but he was a strict wife at home, probably because he didn't like to be criticized by women outside Only pointing fingers would be very dissatisfied with her.

For this belated and euphemistic truth, Su Nanzhen set fire to it.

This time the well was dug for more than 40 feet and water was dug out. It can be said that it was quite successful, but the old Weitou was not very happy, so he took the money and went back with a smirk.

After Old Weitou left, Guan Lizheng and Qu Lizheng returned the money to Su Nanzhen.

"What do you mean? What do I do with the money?" Su Nanzhen pretended not to know what they were thinking.

"How can you pay the money for digging the well? I should pay it." Guan Lizheng said with a smile.

"It's me." Qu Lizheng rolled his eyes at him, trying to occupy the well, but there was no way.

"Can a second well be dug nearby?" Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Su Nanzhen quickly interrupted their conversation.

"That won't work." The two said in unison.

"You don't understand this. It is a great joy to be able to dig a well. The water source is only so small. Digging another well is a waste of money." Qu Lizheng explained.

"Understood, I can take the money, but it's not convenient for me to decide who to take it from. Otherwise, you can ask the county master what he means." Su Nanzhen shrugged, not wanting to interfere in the affairs between the two villages.
