Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Yuan and his wife left the teahouse.

In Zaolin Hutong, in front of the Xie Family Courtyard, Qi Yongsi led his horse and knocked on the door. The only one he could ask for help now was Xie Yuan.

In the study, Jiang Minghong saw Qi Yongsi coming, personally welcomed him into the main hall, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Brother Qi, why are you here at this time? Are you okay at home?"

"Isn't brother-in-law at home?" Qi Yongsi asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Brother-in-law has gone to private school, but it's already this hour, so he must be back."

Jiang Minghong looked at Qi Yongsi: "I see a little sadness in your eyebrows, but what happened?"

Qi Yongsi nodded.

"I'm here to ask my brother-in-law for help."

He then told Jiang Minghong about the situation in the village.

Unexpectedly, the village was already in such a drought, but Jiang Minghong was a little puzzled and asked: "Why don't you go to the next village to borrow some water? There are no wells or streams in the nearby villages?"

Qi Yongsi - How embarrassing! But it doesn't matter that Jiang Minghong is one of his own.

“Our village’s reputation is too bad and we can’t borrow water.”

Qi Yongsi knew that their village had a bad reputation, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. He didn't borrow a drop of water for two days.

When others heard that he was from Qijia Village, they all looked at him as if they were a monster, and were kicked out by the villagers before he could speak out his purpose. Some villagers even took the opportunity to ridicule him.

Jiang Minghong: "..."

Jiang Minghong: "???"

How bad is this? Why would the people in the surrounding villages not even lend them water?

"How about building a well?" Jiang Minghong added immediately.

"I still have some money in hand that I can lend to my eldest brother."

"It would be great if we could dig a well, but it would take at least three or four days to dig a well. The crops in the field might not be able to last until that time."

While the two were talking, the courtyard door suddenly rang, and then Xie Yuan opened the door and walked in.

"Brother-in-law is back at the right time. Let him help us think of a solution." Jiang Minghong said.

Qi Yongsi nodded.

Xie Yuan walked into the main hall and took the tea from Jiang Minghong: "You are all here. I have something to tell you."

Jiang Minghong and Qi Yongsi looked at him together.

Xie Yuan took a sip of water before speaking.

"Minghong, you go to the private school tomorrow. Master Yu is ready to accept you as his disciple."

Jiang Minghong was quite calm when he heard this. After all, Master Yu had revealed this meaning before, and he was mentally prepared.

"it is good!"

Xie Yuan put down his teacup and gave his brother-in-law a special warning.

"Study hard with Master Yu. With his guidance, you will be more likely to be admitted to Hengshan Academy next year."

Jiang Minghong said respectfully: "Yes!"

After talking about his brother-in-law, Xie Yuan then looked at Qi Yongsi.

"I have made an agreement with Master Yu about your teaching at Yu's private school. You should take the time to go to the private school in the next few days. Some matters need to be discussed with him in person."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yongsi stood up and saluted Xie Yuan.

"Thank you brother-in-law!"

After Jiang Minghong waited for Qi Yongsi to sit down again, he looked at Xie Yuan and said, "Brother-in-law, we need your help with something."

"What's the matter?" Xie Yuan asked while drinking tea.

Jiang Minghong told his brother-in-law about Qijia Village.

Xie Yuan glanced at Qi Yongsi who looked embarrassed, thought for a moment and said, "Yongsi will stay here today, and I will go to Qijia Village with you tomorrow."

"On behalf of the villagers, I would like to thank my brother-in-law."

"You're welcome!"

Seeing that the two of them had nothing else to do, Xie Yuan got up and went into the backyard.

In the inner room, Jiang Mingyue looked at the people who came in and put down the embroidery needle.

"When did you come back? Is it edible?"

"Ate."

Xie Yuan walked to his wife and sat down, held her hand and asked, "Why did you need another injection? You are pregnant now and need to take a good rest."

"Nothing, I'm just going to embroider for a while and take a rest."

Jiang Mingyue paused and said, "Aunt Gui said that my previous clothes were too small, so she asked me to make some loose clothes to wear."

Xie Yuan thought for a while and said, "Go to the embroidery shop to have your autumn and winter clothes custom-made! You will be older by then, so don't touch the needle any more."

"I listen to my husband."

Jiang Mingyue saw a layer of sweat forming on Xie Yuan's forehead for a while. She picked up the square handkerchief and wiped his sweat while asking, "Is Yong Si's matter settled?"

"Well, Yu's private school has done well in the exam this year and has become famous. There should be many more people applying for Yu's private school than in previous years. Master Yu means that he plans to set up two more classes, so the master will not be enough."

"So he originally planned to recruit one or two more wives?"

Xie Yuan said 'hmm': "Master Yu also revealed some news to me today. He has decided to officially accept Ming Hong as his disciple."

Jiang Mingyue's eyes instantly brightened.

"Great. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Have you told your brother about this?"

"I told him just now."

Xie Yuan reached out to help his wife up.

"Take a rest! I see you are a little tired."

After the two of them lay down, Xie Yuan gently patted his wife's back and said, "Tomorrow I plan to go to Qijia Village with Qi Yongsi. I may not be able to return until evening."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingyue looked up at her husband, thinking about what she heard from the old patriarch yesterday, and guessed: "Qijia Village is short of water?"

Xie Yuan said 'hmm'.

"There was enough water to eat, but there was no water to irrigate the fields. Qi Yongsi went to various villages to borrow water, but no one was willing to lend it to them."

Jiang Mingyue was dumbfounded when she heard this.

"The reputation of Qijia Village has deteriorated to this."

This is something Xie Yuan didn't expect.

"Qi Yong wants to change the situation in the village. This is a good thing. I have to help him."

"How do you plan to help?" Jiang Mingyue asked curiously.

"Qi Yongsi can't borrow water, doesn't mean I can't borrow it either."

Jiang Mingyue smiled when she heard this.

"Well, my husband-in-law is a famous person in Wanping County. Everyone knows about it. If you take action, we will definitely succeed."

Hearing how well his wife talked, Xie Yuan was in a good mood and patted her back.

"Go to sleep!"

Jiang Mingyue obediently closed her eyes.

In the evening in Linjia Village, Lin Hanshan looked at his wife who was busy serving him food, reached out to take the food from her hand and said warmly: "Sit down! Let's talk!"

Chen Juan smiled gently.

"it is good!"

Lin Hanshan handed her half a steamed bun and started eating.

"Today I met Xie Juren."

Chen Juan suddenly raised her head when she heard this.

Lin Hanshan slowly picked up the words Xie Yuan said to him and told his wife.

Suddenly knowing so many things, Chen Juan could still eat. She put down the steamed bun and looked at her husband pleadingly and called out, "Mr.

Lin Hanshan held her hand.

"I understand, I understand. You can go back to Beijing tomorrow. If your father-in-law can listen to your advice, everyone will be happy."

Although Lin Hanshan didn't say the rest, Chen Juan already understood and only hoped that her father would find his way back.
