Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 371 Submerged II

Now the monkey didn't understand even more, could it be that Qi Ye bought Wangjia Village to prepare for playing in the flood?

Isn't this just throwing money away for fun?

The world of the rich is really hard to understand.
-
At the time of You, the rain stopped, and Jiang Ping took the farm laborers of Xiahetang Village to hurry up and clean up the clogged area of ​​the canal with sand and stones.

Sure enough, before Haishi, the torrential rain roared again, and the intensity of the rain was even stronger than that in the early hours of yesterday.

It seems that the river mud in Xiahetang Village must also be cleaned up.

On the second day, at Chenshi, after simply eating the morning food, Gu Qi took an umbrella and went to the village chief Xu Dongfu's house.
-
"Master Qi, do you mean that it will rain for several more days?" Xu Dongfu wrinkled his face, his eyes full of sadness.

The several acres of fields in the family were sown in a hurry a few days ago. If the rain continues, those several acres of fields may not be able to be kept.

"The water in the river pond in Shanghetang Village began to slope down several times faster than before last night. The original mountain stream has also expanded by half a foot due to the rising water level. The rain will continue for another three to five days at this rate. , the warning line of the pond water level in Xiahetang Village could no longer be guarded.”

Gu Qi didn't have time to detour with Xu Dongfu, and said honestly: "If you want to keep the houses and fields in Xiahetang Village, the river mud in Xiahetang must be cleaned up in advance."

Xu Dongfu was terrified when he heard this: "Didn't the newly dug canal outside our city lead the water in the river pond to Wangjia Village?"

"The terrain of Shanghetang Village is tens of feet higher than that of Xiahetang Village, and the water flow of the mountain stream has increased several times, and the speed of pouring from top to bottom is much faster than the drainage speed of the canal.

With the current situation, it is too late to expand the construction of canals. The best solution is to hollow out the river mud in the lower river pond, reduce the water level of the lower river pond to the greatest extent, and increase enough accommodation space for subsequent rainfall. . "

"Is there no other way?" Xu Dongfu couldn't make up his mind.

Gu Qi frowned and asked: "As far as I know, Xiahetang is the property of Xiahetang Village, and the villagers of Xiahetang Village should have full power to deal with any matters in Hetang. I don't know what concerns Village Chief Li has. in it?"

"Qi Shaodong's family does not know that although Xiahetang belongs to our Xiahetang village, it is not a public property, but a private property."

"private property?"

Now Gu Qi was a little surprised.

Xiahetang Village is named after the Xiahetang Pond. The entire Xiahetang Pond is not small at all. Although it is not as magnificent as the rivers and lakes, a few years ago, the water in this pond alone was enough to make a living. It is enough to feed most of the villagers in Xiahetang Village.

Gu Qiyi didn't touch the Xiahetang at first because he was worried that this river pond was the property of Xiahetang Village.Before the torrential rain fell and before the flood came, if I acted rashly, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the villagers of Xiahetang Village.

Now that it has been raining for two consecutive days, the water level in the Xiahe pond is increasing day by day, and there is no need to talk about the form, but I don't think that the water in this huge Xiahe pond is the owner's private property.

"I don't know if the owner of Xiahetang is now in Xiahetang village?" Gu Qi asked.

Xu Dongfu shook his head: "The owner of this Hetang is not from our Xiahetang Village."

As Xu Dongfu hesitated for a moment, he said with some difficulty: "Actually, the deed of Xiahetang Tangchi is now in the hands of the head of the Xu family in Shanghetang Village.

Our Xu clan in Xiahetang Village swore to belong to the same clan as those in Shanghetang Village more than a hundred years ago. Later, because the population of the Li family increased, they divided into two residences.

Shanghetang Village occupies a larger area and has a better location. Most of the members of Xu's main family live in Shanghetang Village, and there are only two collateral branches of Xu's family that are assigned to Xiahetang Village.

My grandparents came from one of the collateral lines.Although many villagers with his surname have moved into Xiahetang Village since then, because the Xu family has the largest population and deepest roots in the village, most of the successive village heads of Xiahetang Village are from my Xu family.

Previously, Xiahetang Village and Shanghetang Village were of the same clan, and the relationship between the two villages had been good. Until 60 years ago, due to the marriage of a son and daughter, the two villages fought several times, and then gradually began to turn against each other. , and now it is a situation where water and fire are incompatible. "

"Then why is Xiahetang Pond in the hands of Xu's family in Shanghetang Village?"

Xu Dongfu sighed, and said helplessly: "Speaking of which, when we asked the county government to ask for the land boundary of Xiahe Village, it was the money from the Xu family's connections that was used.

Forget about the others, only the Xiahe pond was originally just a barren pool, and it was re-expanded and repaired by the Xu clan to have the current appearance.

At that time, although the two branches allocated to Xiahetang Village had enough money to buy stone materials, they were not enough. Later, the head of Shanghetang Village paid for the money for us.

In the past, the two villages had a good relationship, and they belonged to the same family, so no one cares about these things.However, the two families fell out completely later, and the villagers in Shanghetang Village were so angry that they asked us to pay back the money spent on repairing the river pond with interest.

We are a side branch, and it is a helpless move to move down. How can we have so much money to pay back? As for the other villagers who moved from the village later, they are unwilling to spend more money on this matter.

It has been so noisy for several years and can't be argued. When the conversation was in a hurry, the village head and the villagers at that time said that they should let the people in Hetang take back this pond and forget it. A little kindness, endless trouble.

Since such a large river pond has already been repaired, naturally there is no need to fill it back in. However, the people in Shanghetang Village were annoyed that the matter should be left alone. Later, they simply asked for the deed of this river pond and used it as Xu's private property. In the name of the income of the main family.

It has been decades now, and the title deed of this Hetang has been kept in the hands of every patriarch of Shanghetang Village. "
-
"That being said, the Hetang is in your Xiahetang Village after all, and the property right under your nose, if you want to move things in this Hetang, will the people of Shanghetang Village still stop you? ?” Gu Qi was puzzled.

"I'm afraid that Qi Shaodong's family will laugh at me if I say it. People in the village really don't dare to touch the things in the river pond.

A few years ago, before the drought came, the water source in the river pond was abundant, and there were many fish and shrimps in the pond.There were some villagers who wanted to secretly fish the aquatic products in the river pond for some money, but they didn't want the fish and shrimps to be picked up that day, and the people from Shanghetang Village closed the door the next day, accusing the villagers of our village of stealing the private property of Xu's family .

In this way, the two villages continued to fight for a few days, and later even alarmed the government.

There are many people in the Xu clan, and the family has some prestige in Taikang County. Now the patriarch of the family has some friendship with the county magistrate of Taikang County. In addition, the Xu family does have the title deed of Xiahetangchi in its hands. In the end, we apologized to Xiahetang Village for compensation and promised not to move anything in Xiahetang again.
