The fierce wife is the happy head of the family

Chapter 357
The three villages share the same river. Liujia Village belongs to the upper reaches, Gaojiapo belongs to the middle reaches, and Chenjia Village belongs to the lower reaches. Knowing what was going on, they diverted the river water and blocked the flow of water in the fields, resulting in insufficient water for Gaojiapo and Chenjia villages. The guy is going to find bad luck for the people of Liujia Village.

"What are you doing?" Chen Shengcai stopped the people in the village.

"Village chief, they bullied people too much and blocked the water. We must teach them a lesson!" the villagers said.

"There are twice as many people in Liu's Village as we do. It's bad luck to go to them. Will they let you go?" Chen Shengcai snatched one of the people's hoe and threw it on the ground. Do you want to worry your family members? Can the wounds heal and the grievances can be eliminated? If they completely divert the water source, let alone the crops, can we still survive?"

"Then what should we do? Wait here? Let them bully us to the end?" Another person dropped a tool.

"I'll discuss it with the village chief of Gaojiapo. Let's go to the village chief of Liujia Village and see what conditions he wants." Chen Shengcai clapped his hands and made the decision.

The villagers were afraid that he might make a mistake, so they went to Qinglu and begged her to let the third brother follow to protect Chen Shengcai, and of course Qinglu agreed.

Chen Shengcai took a few people to Gaojiapo and talked to village head Gao. Village head Gao also brought healthy villagers, and everyone went to Liujia Village.

Village head Liu is a bloated middle-aged man with a raised mustache and his eyes are always on concubines. He really likes to enjoy himself too much. Not to mention the extravagant living expenses, he also takes concubines like the people in the city. At first glance, he is not a good person.

"Oh, Village Chief Chen, Village Chief Gao, why are you here? You brought so many people here!" Village Chief Liu stretched himself, and the concubine left.

"Village Chief Liu, we have known each other for a long time. We are familiar with each other. What's the matter, the people of Liujia Village are about to block the water source and divert it away." Village Chief Gao said in a displeased tone.

"Village Chief Gao, I don't like to hear that!" Village Chief Liu dug his ears, "The water is shared by everyone. There is a drought this year, and there is no water, and we have no water!"

He was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open, and the two village chiefs looked at each other, thinking about what benefits he should want, and there was no need to exchange too many pleasantries.

"How can Village Chief Liu release the water source?" Chen Shengcai asked softly, various possibilities flashed in his mind.

"Haha, since Village Chief Chen said it, I won't beat around the bush!" Village Chief Liu was in a particularly good mood, "As long as each of your two villages hand over a bucket of rice to our Liu family for village food every year, we will promise to give it to you." Let the water go." A bucket of rice per family per year is not too much, but it is a lot if it is piled up.

"Here!" Village Chief Gao looked at Chen Shengcai, a little embarrassed, "The villagers are not rich, and they have to eat breakfast for half a month for a bucket of rice. Can you use some melons and fruits instead?" It is not too much to give to anyone.

"Every household in our Liujia Village has a lot of melons and fruits, and we have to give them away, so we don't want you to give them!" Liu Village Chief said coldly.

"Everyone in our Chenjia Village is under a lot of pressure. Can we exchange what you don't have?" Chen Shengcai said.

"You have it, we all have it!" Village Chief Liu disdainful, he just wants rice, what can you do to him?
"This is a big matter. I want to go back and discuss it with everyone, and I will reply to you in a few days." Chen Shengcai didn't dare to make a decision all at once, and there might be other countermeasures when he goes back!
"We have to discuss it!" Village head Gao was also mad.

"Okay, you all go back and reply to me in three days!" Village Chief Liu didn't care, he thought they would definitely agree.

"Village chief, shall we go back now?" The accompanying villagers were not convinced.

"Let's talk when we go back!" Chen Shengcai's voice was so intense that everyone had nothing to say.

On the way back, Village Chief Gao was at a loss. Chen Shengcai thought for a long time, "Why don't we use that river's water and dig a waterway in the canyon to divert water?"

"It's not right. We have relied on that river for generations. Although it is a little smaller now, we can still survive. Irrigate the crops and carry water at most." Village Chief Gao does not suggest it, which means that everyone has to spare time to dig water. If the ditches are dug on the wall, no one cares about the affairs of the fields.

"It has to be handed in every year, and I have counted it after a few years. I am afraid that Village Chief Liu will ask for more in the future. We will not be able to pay in the long run!" Chen Shengcai still understands this world.

"You're right, he will definitely ask for it in the future." Village Chief Gao agreed, "Let's call the villagers to discuss how to deal with it when we go back!"

The people of the two villages gathered in the ancestral hall to discuss matters. When they heard that Liujia Village was going to be given a bucket of rice every year, they immediately opposed it. After all, this is a very serious problem. Everyone is short of that rice!

"No, really not! We don't agree!" Everyone said this, this water is a gift from nature, why did the people in his Liujia Village occupy it?

"Otherwise, we'll dig channels!" Chen Shengcai said, and so did Village Chief Gao.

"Cutting it out, we will do this sooner or later. I would rather give up some time than let others slaughter me." The voice of the villagers was passionate. Liujia Village is really abominable. I really hope that the people of the two villages will open their eyes and let them be punished. punish.

"Since everyone's attitude is so firm, we must hurry up while there is still water in the river!" Chen Shengcai said excitedly. He has been the village head for 30 years and has hardly directed the villagers to do major things. If the digging of the river is successful, That is a share of merit.

Let alone him, the villagers feel that they will cut off contact with Liujia Village from now on, and they are even more excited. Fortunately, it is the river, otherwise who knows what the people of Liujia Village are doing in the river.

"The cliff is so scary, how can we attract the water in the canyon?" Someone immediately raised the question, and everyone's enthusiasm was extinguished.

"Don't be afraid, the water in the canyon flows overseas. We just need to build ditches in front of the canyon and pile up stones at the bottom of the canyon, and the water will flow down." Zhou Wenqian walked out of the crowd, "I can make a plan for you. There is a plan, and everyone just follows the route.”

"Let me take a look at your drawings." Chen Shengcai was very interested, Zhou Wenqian drew a picture on the ground, and even made the route. In the final analysis, he read a lot of complicated books and used them.

"Let's try it!" Chen Shengcai immediately agreed.

"Your husband is great!" Qinglu gave Zhou Wenqian a thumbs up, not knowing if his plan was feasible, but she was still happy for him to propose it.

Zhou Wenqian's eyebrows jumped up, it was the first time he was praised by Qinglu.
