Chapter 186 You Can't Be Soft-hearted
Lu Yong also knew that he could only say a few words and there was no need to go into more depth.
After talking about some more things about the drought, Lu Yong left. Now Qianqian said that her family would take care of it themselves, so it would have nothing to do with him.
Now he is mainly taking care of other people in the village. Their families are all doing the work by themselves and there are no extra helpers, so they can only work hard to transport water back from Sanshui River by themselves.
"Li Mu, come with me."
After the village chief left, Lu Qianqian took Li Mu to the experimental field.
Arriving at the experimental field, Li Mu looked at the green vines all over the ground and the round objects, his eyes full of curiosity, wondering what these things were.
"Pick one carefully and don't touch the skin." Lu Qianqian instructed Li Mu to pick a water melon.
"Put it in a basin and cut it with a knife."
Li Mu followed the young lady's instructions and did as he was told. When he saw that the green ball was cut open and half a basin of water appeared, his expression changed from confusion to shock.
"Miss...what is this?"
This is water. It’s amazing that such a round ball can produce so much water.
In this special period, water is very precious.
"This plant is called water melon. As you can see, when it matures, water will grow out of it. We will use the water from the well to irrigate the fields. We will also send people to Sanshui River to bring water back every day. The water in the water melon will be used for daily life. If the water in the well and Sanshui River is not enough, we will use the water melons here."
Lu Qianqian did not plan to let her family use water melons right away. The water in water melons is comparable to mountain spring water, so it is just right for cooking and drinking.
The water from the well and the Sanshui River is first used to irrigate the crops in the fields. In this way, the villagers will not be surprised why their families are not short of water.
As for what will happen next, we'll talk about it later.
"Yes, I know what to do." Li Mu is not a worldly-wise man, he also knows not to be too ostentatious.
The lady already has so many rare plants and fruits. If she were to get another strange water melon like this, some people might take the risk.
Lu Qianqian waved her hand and said, "Go out and get busy. You will be in charge of the water melons here."
"Yes."
Just as I was talking to Li Mu about the plan, I saw Old Lady Lu walking towards me with a bad look on her face.
"My daughter, I just heard from the villagers that there is a drought now and the well water in the village is not enough. What should we do with the water behind our house?"
When she heard about this, Mrs. Lu hurried back to find her daughter. Her daughter is a gardener, and the main thing a gardener does is to grow plants, but plants need water. If there is no water, what will happen to those plants?
Lu Qianqian held the old lady's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry. Li Mu and I have already explained the family affairs clearly. Look at this."
Having said that, Lu Qianqian asked Old Lady Lu to look at the water in the wooden basin.
Old Mrs. Lu looked at the water in the basin, a little puzzled, "It's just water? What's wrong?"
Lu Qianqian smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, she turned around and went to the field to pick a water melon.
"Mom, feel it."
Old Mrs. Lu was puzzled, but she still reached out and touched it. Hey, it was quite slippery.
"My daughter, why are you showing this to me? But when did you plant this? How come I didn't notice it?"
Lu Qianqian smiled and continued to put the water melon into the wooden basin. She gently cut it with a knife on the side, and a stream of clear water poured out from the water melon.
This time, Old Lady Lu opened her mouth in shock. This round thing actually contained clear water. The old lady looked up at the round things on the ground. There were at least dozens of them. That must be a lot of water.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Old Mrs. Lu's face. Great, great, her daughter was really amazing. She could actually grow such a strange plant.
Old Lady Lu whispered to her daughter, "You must not tell anyone about this. Not only the village needs water, but other places too. If people knew that you have such a plant, they would come looking for you."
Lu Qianqian looked at Old Lady Lu's worried eyes and smiled slightly, "Mom, don't worry, I'm not stupid. Now we can still get water from the Sanshui River. We'll see what happens later. Qingshan County is also my fiefdom. If there really is no water available, I'll have to take this watermelon out. I can't just watch my fiefdom starve for the rest of the year."
When Mrs. Lu heard her daughter say this, she knew that she had a plan and felt relieved.
"As for your eldest brother and second brother, they are both counted as part of the village's water transport team. You should be kind enough to give them this plant. Besides, there is a well in your eldest brother's house, so there will be no problem with water for the time being."
Old Mrs. Lu had just come from the old house and happened to encounter the notification to join the water transport team, so she knew the situation of the eldest and second sons.
Lu Qianqian nodded, "Don't worry about the eldest and second brothers for now, I just hope it rains soon."
Mrs. Lu gently tapped her daughter and said, "You just have good intentions. Your father lives in the old family home now. After what happened last time, he has alienated us. He just wants me to bow my head and admit my mistakes. That's impossible. If he doesn't want to come back, then don't come back. Why should my daughter give away the money she earned? And as for the eldest and second sons, you don't have to take special care of them because of your father. Just treat them the same as before."
The old lady also knew that Old Man Lu had been living with the eldest son during this period. Although her daughter didn't say anything, it could be seen from the things she sent over that her daughter still took good care of Old Man Lu and didn't let him suffer any loss in terms of food and accommodation.
All of a sudden, only the old house benefited from Old Man Lu, at least in terms of food, it received a lot.
Old Mrs. Lu didn't say anything before because she wanted to give Old Man Lu some face. But it's different now. Everyone is having a hard time, and the old lady feels uncomfortable letting her daughter support them.
You said that you were wholeheartedly good to your daughter, and Old Lady Lu didn't say anything. But it turned out that all your efforts had a purpose, and the old lady was not happy about that. If no one else loved her daughter, then she would be the only one to love her.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Qianqian hugged the old lady. She knew that the old lady was unhappy. The two old people had been in a cold war these days. Old man Lu really chilled the old lady's heart, but Old man Lu was her father, so she couldn't say anything. However, she also stood on her mother's side. If this father was not sensible, then she would take her mother with her.
