"Mr. Song, we are here today for another reason, which is to ask the owner of the tower to take us in. To be honest, the water level of the river in Xiaohe Village is getting lower and lower. Even the water level of the old well that has never dried up for a hundred years has also been dropping.

The day will get hotter and hotter. I think the owner of the tower is a kind person.

Since we can take in Dr. Wu's family, and our village has only a few households, I would like to ask the host to take us in as well.

Don't worry, Mr. Song. We are all used to farm work and won't be lazy. Besides, we are all honest and will definitely work hard."

The village chief lowered his posture for the sake of the entire Xiaohe Village, and his eyes were full of pleading when he looked at Song Mingtao.

Song Mingtao frowned slightly. How could he not feel sympathy when a village chief was so humble to him? But in the end, he was not the owner of this tower.

Song Mingtao was silent for a moment and then said, "Hey, village chief, you don't have to do this. This matter is not up to me.

The owner of the tower had his own considerations, and there was a special reason for taking in Dr. Wu's family.

Although there are only a dozen households in your Xiaohe Village, this is not a small number. Although the building is large, it is not a place that can accommodate so many people at will. "

The village chief was disappointed when he heard this, but he still said unwillingly: "Mr. Song, we are really desperate. If you don't believe me, you can go and see. The crops are almost dying in the sun, and the water level is getting lower and lower. Soon, we will not be able to survive.

Please help put in a few good words in front of the master. We promise not to cause trouble to the master and will abide by the rules of the tower. We only hope to have a chance of survival so that we don't have to leave our hometown."

Song Mingtao shook his head: "Village Chief, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this matter is too important. I can't speculate on the decision of the master family. Moreover, even if I go and ask, the master family may not agree."

At this time, Ren Dong and Liu Danan returned to the treatment room. Liu Danan felt a little sorry when he saw the village chief's pleading eyes.

But thinking of what Honeysuckle said, he did not dare to speak. Honeysuckle stood quietly aside, observing the situation.

Seeing Song Mingtao's firm attitude, the village chief became more and more anxious. He turned to look at Doctor Wu, hoping that he could help him say something.

Doctor Wu just shook his head helplessly, indicating that he was powerless. He really was powerless.

He was just a worker for Su Yue. To put it bluntly, the difference between him and a servant was only a fine line.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. Everyone looked outside and saw a group of villagers gathered at the door, their faces full of anxiety and expectation.

One of the villagers said loudly: "Village head, we can't just go back like this. The tower is our only hope."

The villagers in the courtyard could vaguely hear the village chief's words, so they walked over and eavesdropped on a few words.

As a result, the village chief begged so humbly, but the manager kept saying he disagreed and there was nothing he could do. Everyone couldn't help but speak out in a hurry.

The village chief's face became even uglier. He knew that if these villagers could not be taken in by the owner of the building today, it would not be so easy for them to go back.

He looked at Song Mingtao again and said, "Mr. Song, please help us. We really have no other way."

Song Mingtao sighed and said, "Village Chief, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't make the decision on this matter. Let me ask the head of the family for instructions. As for whether the head of the family agrees or not, I can't guarantee it."

When the village chief heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his eyes: "Thank you very much, Mr. Song. We will wait for your news here."

Song Mingtao nodded, turned around, looked at Rendong, and then walked out of the treatment room.

Of course, Rendong knew what that meant by looking at her. It was because she was afraid that these people would riot.

Liu Danan looked at Song Mingtao's departing back and felt a little uneasy.

He didn't know what decision Su Yue would make. If Su Yue didn't agree to take in these villagers, what should the villagers do?

Liu Danan asked Ren Dong in a low voice: "Big sister, do you think the girl will agree?"

Ren Dong glared at Liu Danan and said, "How should I know? However, whether we agree or not, we must do our duty and not cause trouble for the girl."

Liu Danan nodded and stopped talking. The treatment room fell into silence. Everyone was waiting for news from Song Mingtao, their hearts filled with anxiety and expectation.

On the other side, Song Mingtao came to Su Yue's door and knocked gently. Not long after, it was still Nanny Yang who opened the door. She was still a little worried, so she couldn't fall asleep.

Seeing that Song Mingtao was not followed by Ren Dong, Nanny Yang immediately panicked, "Did something happen?"

Song Mingtao sighed and nodded: "When the villagers saw that Doctor Wu and his family stayed, they also wanted to stay and seek the girl's protection.

I started to refuse them, but the head of Xiaohe Village kept begging humbly, and I saw that the villagers were getting a little agitated, so I thought I should ask the girl. "

Nanny Yang didn't expect the situation to be so serious. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Okay, wait a moment. I'll go wake the girl up. Alas, the girl finally fell asleep."

Nanny Yang turned and entered the room, walked gently to Su Yue's bedside, and called softly, "Miss, wake up, there is something urgent."

Su Yue woke up slowly, with a hint of confusion and grumpiness in her sleepy eyes: "Well, Mammy, what's wrong? Is there no ice? Why is it still so hot?"

After Nanny Yang took out a handkerchief and wiped the thin layer of sweat off Su Yue's forehead, she told Su Yue everything about the situation outside.

Su Yue came to her senses after hearing this. She frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "This is indeed a difficult matter. Please change my clothes for me and let Butler Song come in."

After Nanny Yang helped Su Yue put on her clothes, she hurried out to invite Song Mingtao into the house.

Song Mingtao stood in front of Su Yue respectfully and explained the villagers' request and his concerns again in detail. Su Yue listened quietly, tapping her fingers on the table.

"Uncle Song, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Su Yue asked.

Song Mingtao lowered his head slightly and answered cautiously: "Girl, if we take in these villagers, the burden on the tower will inevitably increase, but they also said that they will work hard, and perhaps they can add some labor to the tower.

But if we don't take them in, they will be left with nowhere else to turn and who knows what they will do.

But in my personal opinion, I still think it is better not to stay, because when there are too many people, it is hard to predict. No one knows whether there will be bad apples. "

Upon hearing this, Madam Yang asked, "Miss, what do you think we should do about this?"

Su Yue poured a glass of water, took a sip to moisten her throat before speaking: "I don't want to keep them either. Just like Uncle Song said, although these villagers say they will work hard, their hearts are hard to predict.

If there are any bad people among them, it may bring trouble to the tower. Besides, the tower has limited resources. It may be difficult to maintain with so many more people."
