There is room for the evil peasant woman

Chapter 33 Looking for Li Zheng

After lunch, Shen Yan walked towards Zheng's house.

Now is the time of water shortage. There has been a lot of trouble in the village these days because of the water issue, and Shen Yan can't keep it to herself.

Because while she is herself, she is also a famous doctor. Having kind thoughts and saving lives and healing the wounded is the ancestral motto of the Shen family.

This water may save many lives in the future.

Thinking about it, Shen Yanjiu arrived in front of Li Zheng's house in a short while. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he put his hand on the door and the door opened from the inside.

"Huh? Second wife of the Chen family, why are you here?"

It was Li Zheng who came out. Li Zheng's face looked tired, "You came to see me? Alas, what's the emergency?"

Li Zheng was holding something that looked like paperwork in his hand, and he seemed to be preparing to go to the county. Seeing this, Shen Yan stopped writing and said directly: "Uncle Li Zheng, I found water."

"Hmm, okay... wait, what did you say? You said you found water?!" Li Zheng didn't react when he heard it. When he reacted, he looked at Shen Yan with his eyes wide open, his face filled with tears. Written in disbelief.

"Hmm, Uncle Li Zheng, I didn't lie to you. You can take two of you with me to have a look this afternoon."

Seeing Shen Yan's calm look, it didn't look like he was trying to trick himself. Li Zheng felt that his heart was beating very fast at the moment, as if it was about to pop out of his throat.

"Wait a minute, please let me take it easy first!" Li Zheng patted his chest, "Come on, come on, Shen Yan, let's go inside and have a nice chat while drinking tea!"

Now Li Zheng's face has completely lost the previous dejection, and now he is full of energy!

Shen Yan said with a smile: "Uncle Li Zheng, aren't you busy?" His eyes pointed at the document in Li Zheng's hand.

Li Zheng picked up the document in his hand, looked at it, and waved his hand, "Hey, you said this, we don't need it now, let's go, let's go into the house!" After saying that, he hid the things in his sleeves.

After agreeing with Li Zheng on the time and the number of people to follow up the mountain, Shen Yan took the pastry that Li Zheng forced her to take and stepped out of the house.

As soon as he went out, he saw Li Zheng's wife Li Wanniang choosing vegetables. After seeing Shen Yan, she frowned obviously, especially after seeing what Shen Yan was holding in her hand, her frown deepened.

After Shen Yan left, he rushed into the room without saying a word, "Chen Fugui! Why don't you give that woman the pastries I just bought yesterday? Don't you know that Shuisheng is not allowed to bathe tomorrow? What will we, Shuisheng, eat then?"

Li Wanniang came in aggressively. After seeing her husband sitting dumbly and giggling, her voice gradually became quieter. She hurriedly walked over and waved her hands in front of Zheng Zheng, "Hey, Fugui! What's wrong with you? You can't..."

Chen Fugui came back to his senses and was frightened by Li Wanniang standing in front of him, "You, why are you so close to me?"

As he spoke, he moved his neck further away.

Li Wanniang smacked her husband angrily, "Oh, it seems to be fine! Na Cheng, what do you mean by giving the things I bought to Shui Sheng to that woman?"

Li Zheng said sarcastically: "Stop calling this woman that woman, you are still an elder after all, so do your best!"

"Hey, hey, you said, do you have a crush on her? I'm just saying..." Before Li Wanniang could say the next words, she was covered by Li Zheng, "What are you thinking? We are not of the same generation. , things are not as complicated as you think. Haven't our village been in trouble a few times recently due to water distribution issues? It is a time of water shortage. Shen Yan has been looking for groundwater these days. Today, he will give it as soon as he finds it. We are here to report the news! If this matter is handled well, the county magistrate will appoint us to be rewarded!"

Li Wanniang's eyes widened when she heard her husband's words, "Are you serious, that woman... Shen Yan really found the water?"

"Looking at Shen Yan's behavior, he shouldn't be lying. Oh, no matter what, I'll find out soon after I go take a look this afternoon!" Hearing the news, Li Wanniang no longer bothered about the pastries. After all, As for the importance of the matter, as a woman who has been with Li Zheng for so long, she will not have such a discerning eye.

It's just that Shen Yan's previous impression on her was really bad, not only from the comments from the villagers, but also from the bruises and purple marks on Chen Yuan's child she had seen with her own eyes several times.

Li Wanniang gave birth to two children for a long time, one is the eldest son Chen Shuisheng, and the other is the younger son Chen Musheng. He is only three years old and has not yet reached the age of school.

Anyway, Li Wanniang loved her children very much, and she hated to see anyone who abused her children like the original owner.

"Is this it?"

Shen Yan nodded.

The few grown men who got the exact answer immediately started working under Li Zheng's supervision, holding hoes and shovels.

Three of these people have foreign surnames. Like Shen Yan, they wandered from other places in the past few years. The other two are from the Chen family and are still related to the Li Zheng family.

"Hey, uncle, there seems to be water here! There seems to be quite a lot of it!" One of the energetic men shouted excitedly to Satomasa.

Several grown men worked together and dug several meters in less than a quarter of an hour. The soil below became visibly moist and sticky.

Before anyone in Li Zheng could say anything, he lay on the dry ground and looked at it, his eyes visibly shining, and he murmured from time to time, "Okay, okay, our Tianshui Village is indeed blessed with profound blessings..."

Half an hour later, several grown men looked at the water that was constantly emerging. They all grinned and looked at the two people above with excitement, "Uncle, I'm sure, there is a lot of water in it! You can find it tomorrow. People are coming to dig!”

Seeing the situation clearly, he almost couldn't see his eyes with laughter. He held Shen Yan's hand with excitement, and then quickly let go when he thought of something, "Shen Yan, you are simply the lucky star of our Tianshui Village this time. No, I must go to the county magistrate to mention you in a while! If this matter is resolved, the county magistrate will definitely reward you, and our village will also give you a reward!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan also laughed, but then she thought of something, looking at the road down the mountain, "Uncle Li Zheng, look, the distance between here and our village..."

Shen Yan pointed in the direction down the mountain, and the meaning was self-evident.

Hearing this, Li Zheng subconsciously looked in the direction of Shen Yan's finger.

After seeing it clearly, the excitement in my heart gradually subsided, and my brows furrowed. "With this distance...if we start construction, it will be a big project and it will take a lot of time. So, what should we do?" is running into difficulties.

"What's wrong?" The men climbed up from the mud below, covered in mud and water. When they came over and saw Satoshi with a sad face, they asked in confusion.

"Sigh... it's just that if we transport this water to the bottom of the mountain, it will take a lot of engineering time!"

Several people also slapped their foreheads, remembering this matter, "Yeah, what should we do about this, Lizheng?"

Looking at the sad faces of these people, I remembered my memory of how to divert water. I shook my head and said forward, "Uncle Li Zheng, I have a way!"

Hearing this, several people's eyes immediately turned to Shen Yan, expecting to ask: "Do you have a solution? What is it?"

Li Zheng felt that Shen Yan now had some kind of convincing power. Of course, based on Shen Yan's transformation during this period of time, Li Zheng was surprised and felt that Shen Yan must have hidden great talents before.
