I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

When the villagers heard the words of the village chief, they suddenly became silly and happy, but they looked at the village chief with trusting expressions.

When they chose Lizheng back then, wasn't it because Lizheng could make decisions for them and was a fair and just person?

"Okay, what I want to tell you today is what happened in the back mountain. Today, the second boy of the Zhang family and his wife found a lotus pond in the backyard, and there are quite a lot of water and lotus roots in it."

When everyone heard Li Zheng's words, they were silent for a while.Realizing what Li was talking about, someone immediately cheered.

"Oh, this is amazing. There is a lotus pond, how many lotus roots must there be here?"

"Haha, if we had lotus root, our family wouldn't be hungry."

"Yes, with the lotus root, our Shuanzi can have a full meal."

Seeing the villagers so excited, Lizheng couldn't help but get wet at the corners of his eyes.

He had also discussed with the clan elders in the village about the drought in the Great Zhou Dynasty.Knowing that this catastrophe is rare, Lizheng also thought of many ways to do it, but in the end it was of no avail.

Now that Zhu Qiuqi has found such a lotus pond, the lotus roots in it may also leave a lot of food for everyone.

Now this family is worrying about food. Zhu Qiuqi's act of distributing lotus roots to the villagers will save many people.

Although these words came from Li Zheng's mouth, some people were uneasy.

After all, this natural disaster lasted for too long, and it also made many people feel hopeless.

"Lizheng, is what you said true? Really...really found lotus root?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Can I still lie to you about this kind of thing?"

Seeing the hesitant expressions of several people, Li Zheng could understand it.After all, this drought has been going on for so long, but it still hasn't eased up. Everyone will inevitably be worried about it.

"Don't worry, I went to the back mountain to see it before. The lotus pond over there is not small, and it is no problem to support the people in our Xiaozhangzhuang."

After receiving Li Zheng's affirmative answer, the person who was worried about this matter just now couldn't help showing a smile anymore.

Some people couldn't help but buried their faces in their hands and began to cry softly.

Seeing everyone crying and laughing, Li Zheng felt bad.

How difficult the drought was, although Li Zheng had never experienced it himself, he had heard about it from several clan elders.

If possible, Lizheng would not want the people in his village to suffer such hardships.

But this is a natural disaster, and it is simply beyond the reach of human beings.

Even if he wants to ask for rain, he may not be able to ask for rain.

After all, this natural disaster has lasted for such a long time, I am afraid that the high officials in the capital and the current emperor have asked for rain many times.

But the result?

Li Zheng couldn't help showing a sad smile. In the face of natural disasters, ordinary people like them had no choice but to die.

If it weren't for the lotus pond that Zhu Qiuqi and Zhang Siyuan discovered today, I'm afraid the people in their small Zhangzhuang would have suffered if they wanted to survive.

However, seeing the villagers showing their excited expressions again, and not being as depressed as before, Lizheng also thanked Zhu Qiuqi from the bottom of his heart.

Some people saw that everyone was venting their emotions, so they sneaked away and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak away, so they took a backpack from their own house and went to the back mountain.

After all, there are so many people in the village, none of them know how big the lotus pond is.

If they arrived late and the lotus roots in the lotus pond were snatched first, what would they do?

Many people wanted to grab the lotus root in advance, and they all planned to leave here.

Unexpectedly, before they could make a move, Li Zheng's eyes suddenly widened.

"What are you going to do?"

The person who just wanted to take the opportunity to slip away suddenly stopped, seeing Li Zheng staring at them with a somewhat unfriendly expression, everyone looked a little embarrassed.

But under Li Zheng's gaze, no one dared to sneak away like before.

"Lizheng, didn't you say that these lotus roots were distributed to us? Why are you stopping us now?"

Some people were very dissatisfied when they saw their family members being stopped by Li Zheng.

The old lady heard that there are lotus roots in the back mountain, but she deliberately sent her son and daughter-in-law back because she wanted to get more lotus roots.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped by Li Zheng before they got home.

Li was looking at the old woman who was talking, and frowned.

When he hadn't told about the lotus pond before, he had actually expected such a result to happen.

But seeing these people only thinking about themselves, Li Zheng felt extremely unhappy.

"I told you before that this lotus pond was discovered by Zhu Qiuqi and his wife. How to distribute the lotus roots this time is up to the two of them."

When everyone heard that Li Zheng was going to ask Zhu Qiuqi to share lotus roots with them, they immediately widened their eyes.

"Lizheng, what nonsense are you talking about? Then who is Zhu Qiuqi? Others don't know, how can we not know?"

"That's right, just like Zhu Qiuqi who always misses her natal family, not to mention sharing lotus roots with us, I'm afraid she will have to move all the lotus roots to wish her family well."

"That's right, that kind of woman should stay away! Asking her to share lotus roots with us, isn't this a disaster?"

"That's right, Li Zheng, don't be confused."

Li was looking at these ungrateful people, his face was livid with anger.

He explained at the beginning that the lotus pond was discovered by Zhang Siyuan and Zhu Qiuqi together, but these people didn't seem to hear it.

"Enough! What's the fuss?"

Li Chunshuang watched Li Zheng suddenly get angry, and felt even more jealous of Zhu Qiuqi in her heart.

She's just an idiot, but now it's people like village head Lian who have started to protect her.

"Lizheng, it's not that we're arguing, it's that it's wrong to leave this matter to Zhu Qiuqi. Then who is Zhu Qiuqi, Lizheng, don't you know?"

Li Zheng looked coldly at Li Chunshuang, who was pinching his waist, with a cold expression.

"What do I know? I only know that Zhu Qiuqi has changed her gender now, and she is no longer the same Zhu Qiuqi she used to be. And the reason why you got news about the lotus root today is because Zhu Qiuqi proposed to share the lotus root with you!"

Everyone was shocked, but most of them didn't believe Li Zheng's words.

Li Chunshuang snorted even more coldly, "Lizheng, didn't you get something nice from Zhu Qiuqi, so you came in front of everyone to say something nice to Zhu Qiuqi?"

"That's right, Zhu Qiuqi will kindly share the lotus root with us? I think she might occupy the whole pond and only supply it to Zhu's family."

Li Zheng also knew Zhu Qiuqi's previous virtues, and knew that it was not easy for these people to believe in Zhu Qiuqi.
