The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady



56 Trouble From the Water Source

Mao Dao nodded and took the hoe from Luo Cheng. Then they dug together.

It didn’t take long to dig. The original trickle gushed out in a large stream, spraying water.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng reacted quickly and pulled Mao Dao back a few steps, preventing his clothes from being drenched by the water.

“The water came out!” The people around who had been paying attention cheered.

When Li Xiaoran saw this, she also smiled.

To be honest, if there was a water source here, she wouldn’t have to put in so much effort to set up her stall in the future.

One had to know that the water they had used previously had been from their homes.

“Son-in-law! Are we going to dig a waterhole here? It’ll be more convenient in the future!” Li Shun asked with a smile as he looked at the water.

When Luo Cheng heard his father-in-law’s words, he thought for a moment and said, “We still have to build a shop here in the future. It’s not appropriate to leave the water storage pit here. When Yuan Cheng comes back, we’ll look around and see where the water flow is going. If it can be placed at the edge of my land, it won’t affect us from building the shop!”

“Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. Just build a well!” Mao Dao thought of something and suggested, “Brother Luo, just build a well here!”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and nodded. “We can dig a well! Or we can find another place to dig a waterhole! Let’s wait for Yuan Cheng to come back and take a look before we discuss it!”

At this point, Luo Cheng thought of something. He looked at the people around him, who were staring at them eagerly, and said, “Don’t worry, everyone can use this water source! However, I’ll say this first. Everyone can drink this water, but you have to protect the water source here. Don’t let anyone play any tricks. You have to keep the reservoir clean.”

At this point, Luo Cheng glanced at the people around him and said slowly, “Water sources are different from other things! The reason we’re here is to set up a stall to sell food! Once there’s a problem with the water source, it will involve human lives. Everyone must take this problem seriously!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she also felt that he was very thoughtful.

This water source came from their land. If they didn’t give water to the people around them, the others would definitely feel uncomfortable.

But if they used this water, who would be responsible if anything went wrong?

Who knew if there were still people like Zhao Chunhua, who had ill intentions towards them?

If someone was scheming and they were unprepared, they would definitely fall for it.

At that time, wouldn’t they have to bear the responsibility?

This wasn’t something they could bear!

“That’s why I think we should repair the well here! When the time comes, we can use the lid to cover it! After Brother Luo repairs the shop, we can also manage it. If anyone needs to use water, they can pay for it. That way, we won’t be afraid of such a thing happening!” Mao Dao said.

As soon as he said this, someone secretly glared at Mao Dao.

There was water for free. Why should they spend money to buy water?!

If that was the case, they might as well bring water over themselves!

“Of course, those who are unwilling to spend money can continue to carry water!” Mao Dao seemed to have sensed someone’s thoughts and said this.

Li Xiaoran naturally sensed that something was wrong with some people’s emotions. After some thought, she pulled Luo Cheng aside.

“I don’t think we can take responsibility for this. We cannot always be on guard against people. If someone really schemed against us, we still have to spare some effort to look after this water source. It’s not worth it.” Li Xiaoran voiced his thoughts.

“Have you thought of a good idea?” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and asked softly.

“Why don’t we talk to the village chief and use this piece of land with a water source to exchange for another piece of land beside the pipe to build the shop? This place will be dug into a waterhole to store water. If everyone is willing to use this water, they can use it directly. We don’t have to pay or bear the responsibility!” Li Xiaoran voiced her thoughts.

It wasn’t that Li Xiaoran was irresponsible and would retreat when she encountered trouble.

Li Xiaoran’s thoughts were different from others. This water source was like a hot potato. It was a good thing to give it away.

“Xiaoran is right. This is indeed more appropriate. Village Chief will come over later. Let’s ask Village Chief for his opinion!” Luo Cheng also understood what Li Xiaoran meant and said.

The two of them were very close when they spoke, and they had lowered their voices, so no one heard what they were saying.

At this moment, Yuan Cheng arrived with the village chief and Zhao Chunhua’s man, Song Erwa.

Song Erwa had already learned what had happened from Yuan Cheng.

Song Erwa knew exactly what his wife was like.

As soon as he arrived, Song Erwa looked at Luo Cheng and said apologetically, “I’m really sorry for today! My wife caused such a huge trouble. Fortunately, no one was injured. Otherwise, we would have committed a huge sin! What happened today is all my fault. I, Song Erwa, have no objections towards how to punish her!”

Li Xiaoran could feel that Song Erwa meant what he said, so he didn’t want to make things difficult for him.

“Uncle Song, no matter what, we’re all from the same village. If she hadn’t gone overboard, we wouldn’t have asked the village chief to settle it. Today, Zhao Chunhua wanted to hit me with a stone, and now she’s coming for my life! I’ve always played my part and don’t cause trouble. I don’t know what I did to provoke Zhao Chunhua that made her want to hit me to death with a stone! So let the village chief deal with today’s matter! It’s not that I don’t want to be lenient, but I don’t want to be plotted against and suddenly killed while walking in the village one day!”

Song Erwa also knew that his wife was unreasonable!

To be honest, if he had encountered such a thing, he definitely wouldn’t let go of the person who wanted to hurt him.

“I understand! Then let the village chief make the decision!” Song Erwa thought for a moment and said.

“Song Erwa, are you still a man? Are you happy that something happened to me?” Zhao Chunhua cursed angrily when she saw that her man didn’t help her.

“How do you want me to help you? It was fine if you schemed against others in the past since those were just some small matters. I could clean up your mess every time. But what did you do today? With so many people watching, you wanted to hit someone with a stone. You were committing a crime. You were breaking the law! Everyone has to take responsibility for their mistakes! You too!” Song Erwa said in pain.

“Hmph, you’re a good-for-nothing. You’re useless. You’re not a man at all! I, Zhao Chunhua, was really blind to fancy you!”
