Chapter 59 Planning to Drill a Well

Chapter 59 Planning to Drill a Well

The three of them entered the yard together.

Song Yun saw his mother and Shen Xia coming back both soaked.

I couldn't help but frown and asked, "What's going on?"

"I'll tell you later. Mom and I will change our clothes first." Shen Xia said.

It's so uncomfortable to have these wet clothes sticking to my back.

Fortunately, I didn’t meet anyone on the way back, otherwise it would have been quite embarrassing.

Mother Song and Shen Xia went back to their room and changed their clothes.

Get changed and come out.

Xiaowu and Xiaotian are both back.

Song Jin was also in the yard because he heard us come back.

At this time, Aunt Liu had already pushed Chen Fang into the water, and Shen Xia told Song Yun the whole story of how she rescued her mother.

Song Yun was shocked after hearing this. It was a good thing that Shen Xia went. If Shen Xia had listened to him and not gone, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

Because at that time, I had never heard of any woman who could float on water. This was something that required practice.

What kind of living environment can allow girls to learn to swim?

Could it be that Shen Xia is really the lucky star of this family?

I unconsciously thought about the changes in Shen Xia after she came to this family.

Second brother’s hand injury has healed, but his hand was crippled in his previous life.

Although the third brother's eyes have not yet healed, there is a possibility that he will recover. I have also woken up early. The family's income is increasing, and we can build a new house in less than a month.

When he saw his mother and Shen Xia coming out, he unconsciously turned his eyes to her.

It was as if there was a halo around her.

Shen Xia looked at Song Yun and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I'll go make some cold-removing soup for Mother right away."

"Xia Xia, sit here. Mom will go and boil the medicine. You've fallen into the water." Mother Song said after hearing what Shen Xia said she was going to boil the medicine.

"It's okay, I'm young," Shen Xia said.

"You said you want to endure those, I'll go." Song Yun said at this time.

"Oh," Shen Xia went to her mother's room and got some cold-relieving herbs for Song Yun.

Song Yun is in the recovery period now and cannot do heavy work, but he can still help with some light work.

Xiao Wu came over and said with concern: "Mom, luckily you and sister are all right. That Aunt Chen is so mean."

"Don't worry! Sister and mother are blessed people, nothing will happen to them." Shen Xia comforted.

Song Jin was very worried as he listened to this. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.

Xiaotian took Shen Xia's hand and said, "Sister, don't be left out in the cold."

Shen Xia touched Xiaotian's head and said, "Don't worry! It's okay, sister. We still have to wait for Xiaowu and Xiaotian to pass the exam and become high-ranking officials, so that sister can live a good life!"

Xiaowu and Xiaotian also laughed after hearing this.

At this time, Aunt Liu also said with concern: "You should still take some medicine. If you catch a cold, it will be a big deal, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Xia Xia is still young and can't catch a cold." Song's mother was also worried about Shen Xia's health.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on," Shen Xia comforted her.

"By the way, let me tell you something. Although Liu Dali and his son are relatively reasonable, they may not come to Chen Fang's house to seek justice."

"But her family may not be like that! I heard that she has three brothers. Her stubborn and stubborn character is the result of her being spoiled by them since she was a child." Aunt Liu reminded.

After hearing this, Song's mother frowned.

Shen Xia patted Song's mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry."

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. We are in the right so we are not afraid of them finding fault with us." Shen Xia expressed her gratitude.

Then he remembered the tunnel on the right side of the yard: "By the way, Aunt Liu, since you are here, I want to ask you something."

Aunt Liu looked curious and said, "What's the matter? Just tell me. I won't refuse if I can be of any use to you." Aunt Liu said readily.

"It's the two acres of land on the right side of our yard. I heard from mother that it belongs to yours. We want to buy it. I wonder if you can give it up." Shen Xia said with a smile.

Aunt Liu was surprised: "What does Xia Xia want two acres of land for? The quality of the land is not very good. Do you want to buy land? There are still some unowned lands for sale in the village."

"Oh, it's like this. We want to buy the wasteland next door to build a house. We want to buy the two acres in the middle so that we can surround the old house." Shen Xia explained.

Aunt Liu said in surprise: "Xia Xia can even repair the house with that food business!"

"Well, I have a little bit of savings, but mainly because there are too many people now and it's a bit crowded."

When Aunt Liu heard this, she understood the intention: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle and second uncle, and then get back to you, okay?"

"Okay, thank you for your help, auntie." Shen Xia thanked.

Then Shen Xia continued, "Aunt, I'm just asking. If uncle likes that piece of land, forget it. We won't force you."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "That's not difficult. The yield of that land is not high. But the family has to discuss everything, so I still have to talk to your uncle first."

"Yes, that's right." Shen Xia also agreed.

"You and your mother remember to take your medicine. I'll go back first." Aunt Liu said goodbye.

"Okay, Auntie, take care."

"Ah."

Not long after Aunt Liu left, Song Yun's medicine was almost ready.

Song's mother and Shen Xia drank the medicine while it was hot, and immediately felt warm all over. Shen Xia looked at Song's mother, full of worry, so she asked her mother to drink another bowl.

I followed suit and drank another bowl, and only felt relieved when my forehead was slightly sweaty.

"Mom, I have something to discuss with you." Shen Xia said softly, "Let's not go to the river to wash clothes in the future, okay?"

She thought to herself that there were too many women by the river, and if a dispute arose, with her mother's gentle personality, she would definitely not be a match for the others.

Besides, it is impossible for me to be with my mother all the time to protect her. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better not to go to the river.

"But don't go there to wash clothes. It's a waste of water to wash clothes at home." Song's mother said with a frown.

"Then how about digging a well?" Shen Xia suddenly had an idea and suggested.

"Ah!" Song's mother obviously did not expect this answer. She couldn't help but exclaimed, and then said helplessly: "Dig a well is not cheap."

Shen Xia knew nothing about the price of digging a well. She only knew that there were only a few wells in the village, and that they were all dug by the villagers a long time ago.

The well was some distance away from the Song family. When the brothers Song Jiang and Song Ming were injured, it was indeed very difficult for the family to get water.

The situation has improved a little now, but it can only guarantee water for daily eating and washing vegetables. We still have to go to the river to wash clothes.

In fact, before the two sons were injured, the family also washed clothes by the river.

At that time, Chen Fang often made sarcastic remarks to me, but I didn't take it too seriously. It was only this time that Xiao Liu stood up to support me that the two sides had a dispute.

At this moment, Song's mother knew very well that the reason Xia Xia suggested digging a well was because she was worried that she would be injured or bullied again.

"How much does it cost to dig a well?" Shen Xia asked.

"It costs five taels of silver." Mother Song said hesitantly.

When Shen Xia heard this, she thought, "Ah! Five taels of silver is not bad!"

But then I thought, five taels of silver is a family's expenses for one to two years, it is indeed a bit expensive.

But considering my current family situation, it is still worth it if five taels of silver can avoid some trouble.

"Mom, five taels of silver is not a lot for us now. There will be more and more people in the family in the future, so it would be more convenient to have a well in our own yard." Shen Xiasong's mother analyzed the benefits of digging a well.

Finally, after hearing this, Song's mother no longer hesitated. She felt that Xia Xia was the one in charge at home, so whatever she said went!

"Okay, I'll listen to Xia Xia."

"Okay." Shen Xia was also happy. It would be more convenient to use water in the future. She would take a shower every day. It was not very hot now, but it would slowly get hot. She really couldn't accept not taking a shower every day.
