Ye Zhizhi, who was standing in the crowd, was stunned.

At that time, it was agreed that everyone in the village should share the water, so as not to worry about the shortage but the inequality. If she drank the water from the well all by herself, if things went on like this, she might be causing trouble.

That's why she decided to only charge the cost of drilling the well. After everyone paid the money, they would have their share of the well, and everyone would naturally care for it together.

She didn't expect Li Zheng to speak for her.

After all, Yuan's reputation in the village was very bad, otherwise Dazhu would not have been home for several days, and everyone would have secretly rumored that she had sold her child to a brothel to pick up customers to make money.

Now that she has come here, her way of doing things is to the liking of a small number of people. Everyone comes and goes, but most people still can't stand her arrogance and domineering, and they always have to say something bad about her behind her back.

"Dazhu Niang could have eaten those sweet potatoes by herself, and she couldn't finish them in a year, but she came to my house several times and wanted to tell the matter. Unexpectedly, Xu made a fuss..."

Li Zheng didn't want to mention the man who went to town to pick up manure. He just looked at the villagers around him and said, "You must have a conscience. We all owe Mr. Ye a word of gratitude!"

Li Zheng is now an official and has great prestige in the village. When he spoke with a straight face, the villagers were frightened and started to say,

"What Li Zheng said is, Dazhu Niang, thank you very much for these two times."

"We used to think that dogs can't change from eating shit, so we didn't want to associate with you, but we forgot that you are a human being, Dazhu Niang, and it's easy to change from eating shit!"

"I apologize for scolding you in private before! I hope you won't argue with me!"

No matter what everyone thinks, at this moment, the words spoken are very heart-warming.

Ye Zhizhi waved her hands repeatedly, "It's just a trivial matter, so don't take it too seriously."

After all, she also has her own selfish motives, which are far less great than Li Zheng's heart.

"Thanks are due," Li Zheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "As the saying goes, don't forget the well digger when you are ready. I propose that this well be named after Ye. What do you think?!"

"Everyone thinks it's great!" Si Zhu shouted, "I suggest calling it Yizhi Zhii!"

Wuya disagreed, "Why can't you call me Fairy Girl Niangjing?"

"I told you to name it by name!"

"But the fairy daughter is A Niang's true identity!"

"Don't argue, don't argue!" Seeing that Wuya and Si Zhu were about to fight, San Zhu hurriedly acted as peacemaker and said, "How about we combine it and call it Fairy Daughter Ye Zhi Zhi Well? What do you think?"

Ye Zhizhi, "..."

I don't think so!

Li Zheng clapped his hands and said, "It's loud and grand! That old Wang family, I remember, didn't your ancestors engage in the business of selling coffins and memorial tablets?"

I leave this matter to you. You go find a wooden board, carve the name Sanzhu said on it, and insert it next to the well!Everyone can see it when passing by, remember it all the time, and be grateful every day! "

Ye Zhizhi, "..."

No, Li Zheng, I feel like these words come out of your mouth, as if I am no longer there!

But everyone was very happy. Each one agreed more than the other, dancing and saying:

"We will also have wells in the future! By saving ten cents a month, we can still buy half a catty of sweet potatoes!"

"Dazhu Niang is such a good person!"

"..."

Si Zhu happily put all the money he had won into his pocket, and did not forget to tell Ye Zhizhi, "I saw someone selling silk flowers in the town. Many young ladies are wearing them. They are very beautiful. Do you like red? I'll give it to you." How about buying a red one!”

Ye Zhizhi didn't answer, and followed everyone to say goodbye with a smile.

When the person returned home, as soon as the door was closed, he picked up a small wooden stick and hit Sizhu on the buttocks: "Xiao, Sizhu!"

"Ahhh-!"

Si Zhu was stunned by the beating, holding his buttocks and jumping up and down, "Mom, you don't like red silk flowers, I will buy you green ones, why are you beating me!"

"You have the nerve to ask! You motherfucker is so capable! You eat, drink, whore, gamble! Huh? As a five-year-old child, you learn to gamble from others! And you even mortgaged yourself! Are your brains filled with water and your IQ has been lowered? It’s all for nothing!”

Ye Zhizhi lashed out with the stick again, "I want to save face for you in front of outsiders and I won't talk about you, but is this how I teach you? Huh?"

"Ow~"

Si Zhu burst into tears in pain, holding his buttocks and running around, "But he badmouthed you! He laughed at you and said you can't do it! Isn't that just a gamble?"

"Are you being desperate? You have no brains! I dug a well today, and you haven't been used to pay off the debt. What if I can't dig it out?"

Si Zhu's face dropped, "But I think you can."

"It's not something you just think will work."

Ye Zhizhi pinched her brows, squatted in front of the four pillars and said, "You protect my mother, my mother is very heartwarming. But my mother doesn't want you to be impulsive when things happen. When you only have [-] yuan, you risk your wealth and life to go there." Gambling is not a wise move in itself.

Mom hopes you are wise and smart.No matter how big of a deal you encounter, you should use your brain to think and weigh the pros and cons, and don't fall for other people's opinions when your brain gets hot. "

Si Zhu covered his butt and blushed in embarrassment.

"There is Erzhu," Ye Zhizhi looked at Erzhu with a smile, "You didn't believe that Mom could dig well water before, but it turns out that Mom did it."

Erzhu frowned and thought to himself, what does the stepmother mean?

Showing off her power to him, is it because he didn't promise her to dig out the well water?

I was about to say something hypocritical, but the next moment I heard the stepmother continue, "Others think that my mushroom noodles cannot be sold, but it earns several taels a month in the restaurant. I am telling you this because I want to tell you , Mom’s judgment has not caused any problems so far. Mom thinks this military doctor can cure your leg, so please be happy, okay?”

Happy...somewhat?

Erzhu was a little confused. Ever since he broke his leg, he had been depressed and abandoned himself. He resented his stepmother all the time and hoped that she would die soon.

But now his stepmother is getting better and better, and his younger siblings who once united with him have turned against each other. There seems to be an invisible barrier between them, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Can he really be happy?

Erzhu doesn't know.

But with the well, the family would naturally go out to fetch water from the back mountain at noon the next day.

Dazhu didn't want to go, and even regretted going home, but fortunately he could go to school tomorrow.

The walk home carrying the bucket was not easy. We had to pass through a small forest. Si Zhu and Wu Ya walked in front to open the way. They were small and each of them could only carry half a bucket of water.

Suddenly, Si Zhu let out a 'huh' sound and said, "Brother, look, is that Sister Zhumei? Why has she come to our village again?"
