Chapter 12 Ximen Village is in a hurry
Zeng Kuan was not proud of Gao Zhi's flattery, but became more vigilant, and other men from Zhongmen Village also gathered one after another.
Gao Zhi's expression changed and he quickly expressed his stance, "We are here to congratulate you today, not to find trouble."
"Congratulations? Are you so kind?" Han's father took advantage of his age and was particularly rude to Gao Zhi.
Gao Zhi's face twitched and he smiled and said, "We don't have any holidays, right?"
Zeng Kuan waved his hand impatiently, "Just tell me what you're here for, there's no need to do all this nonsense."
Gao Zhi immediately walked down the slope and pulled Zeng Kuan aside to talk quietly.
"You all know that our village is having trouble getting water! Now everyone wants to dig wells, but we can't find anyone who knows how!"
Zeng Kuan was happy, "Then keep looking! Don't you understand that I understand? If you ask around, you will know that the well in our village was dug with the help of Uncle Han's son-in-law from Dongmen Village. Who told you in Ximen Village The whole Dongmen Village was offended by the people, especially Xiong Kai, who was so careless about canceling the Su family's marriage, making the Su family a joke.
When they were making trouble like this, you didn't come forward to take care of it and didn't say anything. Now you come to me when you need help. Does my face look that big? "
Gao Zhi's face turned red when he was told that if it weren't for digging wells, he wouldn't want to stay any longer. "Village Chief Zeng, what happened before was indeed the fault of the people in our village. I will definitely teach them a lesson later and let them make up for the Su family and give them a better life." Don’t Dongmen Village apologize? See if you can.”
"Hey!" Zeng Kuan sighed, feeling a little sympathetic to Gao Zhi, "If it was only about the Su family, I could still find ways to help you deal with it, but the problem is that the Su family doesn't understand either!"
"What do you mean?" Gao Zhi's expression changed, thinking that Zeng Kuan was playing tricks on him, and his eyes widened in anger.
Zeng Kuan joked: "The one who knows this is Shen Yi, who crosses the Daxun River! Do you know Shen Yi? He was originally the prospective son-in-law of Mo Laotian in your village. Isn't this Mo Laotian's repentance? What's the matter with Shen Mo's family? He knows a lot more than I do. If you ask me, Mo Laotian is really ruthless, and so are you! As the village chief, you don't care. Now you have the nerve to ask Shen Yi for help? "
Gao Zhi's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty, and the little hope he had was finally destroyed.
"There can't be anyone except Shen Yi!" This was Gao Zhi's last stubbornness.
Zeng Kuan ignored the matter and said, "I don't understand! Why don't you go and inquire about it, Chief Gao? Maybe you can find other capable people?"
Gao Zhi came to visit, but not only found nothing, he was also teased and ridiculed by Zeng Kuan. He was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen and lungs ached, so he went back with a straight face.
When passing by Mo Laotian's house, he suddenly stopped and cursed loudly outside the fence, "If you don't do any good things every day, you will try your best to cause trouble for me everywhere!"
Mo Laotian and his wife were stunned and hurried forward, but Gao Zhi didn't give them a chance to ask. Instead, he scolded louder, "I didn't let you contribute to the village, but you can't even teach a girl well, and I don't know you." What do you do for a long time?"
"Chun Chunxiang?" Mo Laotian subconsciously thought that Mo Chunxiang was causing trouble, and quickly looked at Guan.
Guan Shi shook her head vigorously, "Your daughter has never been out!"
After a little thought, the couple guessed the reason and both turned pale.
Mo Laotian wanted to say something, but Gao Zhi had already led the people away angrily. Other villagers also had some opinions on Mo Laotian and his wife.
How can you not complain about what was originally a simple matter that caused them so much trouble just because of your white-eyed wolf behavior?
As soon as the villagers left, Mrs. Guan immediately panicked, "What should we do, the head of the house? Does the village chief hate us? Will he give us small shoes? Why don't you go and inquire and see if you can help?"
Gao Zhi is not a broad-minded person, and the couple has a clear conscience.
Mo Laotian's face was gloomy and he hurriedly caught up with Gao Zhi's group.
Guan waited for a long time before bringing Mo Laotian back, but when she saw that his face was ugly, her heart sank inexplicably, "What should I say?" Mo Laotian sighed and told the whole story.
Guan didn't expect that their regretted marriage would affect the whole village, and she lost her mind for a while.
Mo Chunxiang was the first to get anxious, "Mom and Dad, Shen Yi is not the only person crossing the river from all over the country. If we don't ask him, we can find someone else."
"Yes, yes, yes! My daughter is right! Head of the house, hurry up and look for it. If you find it, you can make up for the blame. The village chief will definitely not anger us again." Mrs. Guan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and urged Mo Laotian to go. manage.
After Mo Laotian left, Mrs. Guan couldn't help complaining to Mo Chunxiang: "Then why is Shen Yi so small-minded? Breaking off the engagement is a matter for our Mo family. How could he anger the entire village and make everyone in the village scold you."
Mo Chunxiang was extremely angry, but as a girl, she really couldn't go to Shen Yi to argue, so she had no choice but to complain to Xiong Kai.
Maybe Mo Laotian was lucky, and he found a master who knew how to dig wells.
The master went to Ximen Village and looked around, shook his head, and said to Gao Zhi: "Your village is too dry. The terrain is still high and there is no water."
When Gao Zhi heard this, he panicked, "Impossible! Water has been pumped out in Zhongmen Village, right next door to us. They can pump water out, so why can't we pump it out?"
"Is this true?" The master was a little surprised. He ran to Zhongmen Village to take a look in person and kept exclaiming, "It's really strange. Who is so powerful and knows that water can come out here?"
After sighing, the master sighed that he was not as good as he was and left.
Gao Zhi's heart was shattered and he returned to Ximen Village dejectedly.
In less than an hour, the whole village knew about it, and some people even went to Mo's house to find Mo Laotian.
"Old Tian, it concerns the future of the entire village. You can't let your girl do whatever she wants!"
"That's right! I agreed to repay the favor and betrothed the girl to someone else, but then regretted it right away. It's so unethical! In my opinion, your family should go ahead with the marriage."
"I agree! Let Chunxiang marry Shen Yi quickly so that Shen Yi can help us dig a well."
"That's right, that's right."
The villagers were all talking, and Mo Chunxiang was too frightened to go out.
The bear came at the critical moment.
"Folks, now Dongmen Village and Zhongmen Village are waiting to see our jokes! I know everyone is anxious, and I am anxious too, but we can't mess with this kind of thing, but should unite and deal with the outside world. Then Shen Yi is a Keqin's fate, if something happens to Chunxiang when she marries him, who will be responsible for the commotion today?" Xiong Kai glanced at the villagers one by one.
The people he saw invariably avoided looking.
Xiong Kai paused and continued: "I heard that Shen Yi is not a stingy person. Uncle Mo also compensated him when he broke off the engagement. It stands to reason that he would not take this matter to anger the whole village. Why don't I take it with him?" Take your things and go to Shenjiazhuang in person to ask for help."
Once everyone heard that Xiong Kai was willing to come forward, they no longer pressed the Mo family to break off the engagement.
As soon as the villagers left, Xiong Kai immediately turned around and comforted Mo Laotian's family, "Uncle Mo, don't worry, I will definitely invite people here."
When Mo Chunxiang complained to him before, he wanted to go to Shen Yi, just to warn him, but now he had someone to ask for, so he could only endure it until the village dug out water.
