“Remember not to make the same mistake as the Zhao family. However, it’s true that the water in our well is rapidly running out.” Mayor Kong looked at the confession in his hand and reminded.

“I understand, sir. You can rest assured.” Constable Zhang thought for a moment before he nodded and ran out.

In the blink of an eye, the day of Gu Ziqiu’s wedding arrived. After Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui got up, they brought two sets of fine cotton cloth and a tael of silver to their old house.

The two parted ways after they entered, with Gu Chengrui taking the tael of silver to hand over as a monetary gift.

Zhou Ying took the cloth to Gu Ziqiu’s room.

Inside the room, Gu Zishan and her sisters were talking to Gu Ziqiu. Gu Ziqiu was dressed in red and was sitting cross-legged on the bed after washing up.

“Ziqiu, you look beautiful today,” Zhou Ying said with a smile.

…..
She then handed the bundle of cloth to her and said, “This is your wedding gift. I wish you a happy marriage and that you will have a child soon.”

“Thank you, third sister-in-law,” Gu Ziqiu said as she accepted the cloth.

“Third sister-in-law, please take a seat,” she said, motioning to a stool at the side.

“You sisters should talk. There arc many people today, so I have to go outside to see if I can help with anything.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.

They weren’t particularly familiar with each other, so there wasn’t much to talk about.

She just prepared an extra gift for her because they were blood related. Otherwise, she really didn’t want to give her anything.

After that, she saw Mrs. Sun preparing a dried fruit plate and immediately went to help.

“Oh, you are here. Come on, don’t busy yourself when it’s all family here. Come and chat with us.” Sixth Aunt Gu saw her coming in with a dried fruit plate and waved her over.

“That’s right, Ying. Come and help me take care of your other aunts. Leave the rest to your second aunt and the others.” Madam Qiao echoed.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying smiled and placed the plate of dried fruit in front of them. “You’re all elders. Is it appropriate for me to sit here?”

“Of course! Why wouldn’t it be? We also want to ask you something,” said Sixth Aunt Gu.

“Oh, what do you want to know?” Zhou Ying sat down and asked.

“I heard that the town’s well is running out of water. Is that true?”

When the others heard this, they perked up their ears. This would affect their future lives, so they had to take it seriously.

“Indeed, the well in our restaurant is the deepest in town, with thirty meters underground, but there’s not much water left.

“It’s even worse for the public wells. It’s considered decent if they can produce ten buckets of water a night.” Zhou Ying nodded.

“This serious? It seems that this is all because of the refugees. Without water in the town, our village will be in danger.” Mrs. Bai expressed her concern as she grabbed a small handful of melon seeds.

“That’s true. We’re at the foot of the mountain, so there’s more water. They’ll definitely come for our place soon.” Madam Qiao nodded in agreement.

“It looks like we have to discuss this in detail. Otherwise, if they really enter the village, all the crops we’ve planted will be in vain.” Sixth Aunt Gu said.

“Speaking of crops, how is the wheat in our village? How many pounds can we produce per acre?” Zhou Ying asked.

“Don’t mention it. When the wheat bloomed previously, there were a lot of worms. When we want to fertilize it, we lack water. It’s good enough that the cro[s didn’t collapse.” Mrs. Bai sighed.

“Indeed, for this year’s harvest, having 30 to 40 pounds per acre is already considered good.

“On the other hand, the sweet potatoes you gave us to plant are drought-resistant and growing well. We can even eat the leaves of those plants.” Sixth Aunt Gu added.

“Then let’s put in more effort to water those potatoes. Who knows, sweet potatoes might end up becoming our lifesaving food.” Zhou Ying said..
