The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 123 Questioning
"In the past few days, the mist has risen in the mountain depression, and you should have heard all kinds of discussions in the village. Although the depression is now your family's property, it is in the territory of Geshan Village. Can you tell me how it came back? This is to dispel the doubts of the villagers and avoid causing unnecessary panic." Uncle Qi asked straight to the point, pointing to the back hillside as soon as he sat down.

After the introduction of hot springs, the mist in the mountain depression will increase. Su Yunduo once mentioned this, but Su Chengzhi did not expect the mist to be so dense. He, who knew the inside story a long time ago, was a little startled, let alone the villagers who did not know the inside story .

Facing Uncle Qi's question, Su Chengzhi was a little dumbfounded for a while.

Although the seventh uncle has no blood relationship with him, since he can remember, the seventh uncle has loved him very much, especially after the two old people in the old Su family passed away, he cared for him even more.

When he was able to go to the examination for scholar, the seventh uncle also made a lot of effort in it.

This time, he was able to completely mess with the old Su family, and the seventh uncle deserved the most credit.

Lying to Uncle Qi, even if it was a white lie, made Su Chengzhi feel very stressed.

Seeing that Su Chengzhi didn't answer for a while, Uncle Qi frowned tightly, obviously unhappy!

"Seventh Uncle, it's not my father's fault, it's me." Su Yunduo who had been standing behind Su Chengzhi finally spoke, with a little anxiety in his voice.

Su Chengzhi quickly gave Su Yunduo a hand. Although he seemed to be blaming him, he also meant to protect him.

Liu Donglin glanced at the father and daughter silently, and then met the seventh uncle, and then said to Su Yunduo in a gentle tone: "That mountain is your family's property, how should you use it? It’s just that everyone has lived in Geshan Village for many years and has never seen what it looks like today. As the village head and village elders, they are proud to intervene to reassure everyone. What is the situation, Yunduo girl is telling the truth.”

Su Yunduo bit her lip, and seemed to have made up her mind for a long while and said: "When the old genius doctor was here, he once went to that mountain depression and found a lot of medicinal herbs growing there, so he collected them.

After harvesting the medicinal materials, I found that the soil in the mountain depression was quite fertile. What surprised me even more was that the temperature in that depression was higher than other places.

I was wondering if I could use this temperature to grow vegetables, so I asked Mr. Lu's guards to help turn the mountain into a vegetable field and sprinkle some rapeseed..."

Su Yunduo stopped here, and Liu Donglin asked: "Can vegetables grow?"

Su Yunduo nodded first and then shook his head with some regret: "It grows out, but there are not many places where it grows out."

Uncle Qi didn't know whether to shake his head or nod, he gave Su Chengzhi a disapproving look, probably blaming Su Chengzhi for letting Su Yunduo mess around.

No one knows that there is a hot spring hidden in the mountain depression. Uncle Qi is not wrong to have such an idea. Even if the temperature in the mountain depression is higher than other places in this winter, it is not easy to grow vegetables in winter.

"Is it true that the old genius doctor suggested that after your family bought the hillside?" Seventh Uncle suddenly asked after a long while.

Seventh Uncle's words were a bit impolite, obviously with a questioning meaning, but fortunately Su Yunduo was no longer the original Su Yunduo, and Seventh Uncle's attitude did not make her feel timid.

First, I silently apologized to the old doctor who was far away in the capital, Su Yunduo calmly looked at Seventh Uncle and nodded: "The old genius doctor learned that I want to use the few acres of land in front of the hospital to grow medicinal materials, and thinks that the land is too little. It is suggested that I simply buy the entire back hillside.

At the beginning, my parents were unwilling to buy the barren mountain, after all, my family had no money or labor, but I just thought it was right to listen to the old genius doctor, so I told my parents what the old genius doctor said.

When my parents learned that it was the old genius doctor's suggestion, they no longer objected. They just asked me to find a way to raise money from my brother-in-law. "

There is no need for Su Yunduo to talk about how to raise money and how to buy the back hillside. Everyone knows that.

But after talking so much, Su Yunduo still didn't mention why there was such a dense mist in that mountain depression. Uncle Qi and Liu Donglin stared at Su Yunduo closely, and they had to ask Su Yunduo for an answer.

Su Yunduo cleared his throat, and continued: "After my family bought Houshanpo and Shan'aozi, my uncle's brothers who played well knew about it and coaxed them to come and have a look.

My uncle thought that these people were too busy at home, so why not ask them to help clean up the valley. Anyway, the temperature in the valley was much higher than outside, and the ground was not frozen solid.

Unexpectedly, this sorting made a new discovery. A spring was found near the dense forest in Shan'aozi. The temperature of the spring water is quite high, and it is no problem to use it directly for bathing..."

As soon as Su Yunduo said this, Liu Donglin exclaimed: "Is that a hot spring?!"

Su Yunduo shook his head: "I don't know if it's a hot spring, but the water is quite hot anyway."

"But after your uncle's friend left, there hasn't been any change in that mountain." Uncle Qi will focus on the key points.

Su Yunduo pursed her lips and said with an embarrassed smile: "The truth was not discovered that day. My uncle's friends were all born in the town as the mayor of the town, and they were all people who had never planted land. My request is just to open a few ditches in the col.

The next day, my uncle, my two cousins ​​and I went to clean up the col, but we didn’t find such a spring until the edge of the col was cleaned up three days ago, at the junction of the col and the forest.

It’s just that the water from this spring originally flowed into the dense forest, so I wondered if I could introduce the water into the mountain depression, so that the temperature of the mountain depression would be higher, and maybe vegetables could be grown...”

"So, are you guys introducing the spring water into the mountain?" Liu Donglin disliked Su Yunduo's wordiness, and interrupted the chattering Su Yunduo directly and asked.

Su Yunduo nodded: "Well, I finally made a ditch for water diversion in the mountain depression yesterday, and brought the spring water into the depression at night..."

Uncle Qi and Liu Donglin both showed a look of sudden realization.

"I don't know that diverting the spring water will cause panic among the villagers, or else, when my uncle comes, the water will still be blocked." Su Yunduo timidly glanced at Liu Donglin, then at Qi Shugong, and looked down. Low said.

"No, no, no, it's just fog, not poisonous gas. The mountain col is already your family's property. As long as it doesn't endanger our Geshan Village, you can do whatever you like. It's your family's business." Seventh Uncle Shaking his hand, he was the first to express his opinion. Seeing Liu Donglin lowered his head, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he added: "Donglin, I'm not wrong!"

"Oh, no, no. Seventh Uncle is right, as long as it doesn't endanger our Geshan Village, whether it's the back hillside or the mountain pass, you can plant whatever you like." Suddenly being named, Liu Donglin had a moment's hesitation Dazed, but soon recovered.
