"Miss, are you really going to do this?
By doing this, aren't you helping Magistrate Xiao?
Now all the landowners are obviously going against him.
Don't forget the purpose of our coming here."
Maid Lu'er said.
Said worriedly.
Nowadays, Wanxian County has successfully introduced greenhouse vegetables, but it is about to enter winter.
The weather is getting drier.
There was no sign of snow at all.
Even the water levels of the Zhang River and Luan River have also dropped a lot.
The people in Wanxian County all pointed to the irrigated fields of Zhanghe and Luanhe rivers.
The lower water level means they have to walk a long way down to the river to carry water to irrigate the vegetables in the greenhouse.
Xiao Qiang was also very anxious during this time.
In order to improve the living conditions of the people in Wanxian County, he also tried every means.
The surrounding landowners have wells dug at their own expense.
But in order to grow vegetables in greenhouses, ordinary people have to travel long distances and go to the river to fetch water to irrigate the fields.
The channels that had been built with great effort by the common people were now turned into decorations.
Because the water level in the river suddenly dropped by more than two meters.
The problem now is that the landowners all claim that they have spent money in vain, and the channels they have built cannot divert water from the Zhang and Luan rivers.
They also said that the county magistrate was lying to them and that he was deceiving people by talking about building canals and diverting water.
Xiao Qiang also didn't expect that there would be a severe drought.
Early that morning, Xiao Qiang took Xiaowu and a few government officials up the mountain again.
Unfortunately, there is no water source at all on the mountain.
The few springs there are are as useless as the Lingyan Rock.
Xiao Qiang took Xiao Wu back to the county government office in despair.
Xiao Qiang now understands that being a parent officer is not as simple as solving a few cases.
He has to lead everyone to make a fortune, otherwise he won't be able to collect even the most basic taxes.
If the people don't have a harvest, what will they pay to the public for food?
You can't force everyone to sell their sons and daughters, right?
Thinking about the current situation, Xiao Qiang felt her scalp numb.
Money, if you want to do anything, you have to invest money in the early stage.
I have mobilized the landlords to collect some money, and finally repaired the ditch in the past few months.
But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.
I really didn't expect that there would be a severe drought.
Xiao Qiang lay on the bed and thought hard, her brain almost cramped.
"Sister-in-law, don't think about it.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.
We will definitely get through this difficult time.
People say that it is difficult to pass the test.
There is no obstacle that we can't overcome.
If we need money, if it really doesn't work, I will leave the money at home.
Take half of your savings.”
Sister-in-law Zhang also knew that her sister-in-law was anxious, but she couldn't make the effort.
Nowadays, the business of Tofu Fang is pretty good.
Uncle Zhang was so happy that he no longer had to push the cart through the streets in the cold weather.

As long as you sit in the store every day, people will come to buy tofu and bean sprouts.
Xiaowu is a very hard-working kid who never sits idle for a while.
A child who is only twelve years old is busy, but he looks like a little adult.
Helping Uncle Zhang look after the store and delivering tofu and dried tofu, he is a master of the work both inside and outside.
Sister-in-law Zhang completely accepted Xiao Wu from the bottom of her heart.
I often ask Aunt Zhang to prepare winter cotton clothes for Xiao Wu early.
Xiao Wu was so moved that he cried.
After working with Master Bao for several years, he had never worn such warm new cotton-padded clothes in winter.
Mr.
Xiao and Madam Xiao don't look like their masters at all, but more like their own relatives.
Their family has always been approachable and truly consider themselves family.
Whether you are an adult or a lady, you will always think of yourself when you have something delicious to eat.
"Sister-in-law, although we have money now and the business in the store is good, we can't always pay for it ourselves.
After all, this is something that benefits the people.
If we can divert water from the channel, those landlords are the biggest The total number of people in the entire county does not have as much land as a few landlords."
Xiao Qiang saw her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Zhang, bringing the food in for herself.
He quickly got out of bed and sat next to the bed.
Xiao Si brought the face wash with a wink, and Xiao Qiang washed her hands directly.
Today I made stir-fried bean sprouts with pork and spicy tofu.
Xiao Qiang held the rice bowl, picked up a steamed bun, and ate the vegetables.
"Look, does the windmill that Brother Xiaowu bought for me look good?"
Xiaolian ran in holding a colorful windmill.
When Xiao Qiang saw the windmill in Xiaolian's hand, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, why did I forget about this?
Waterwheel and windmill.
When there is wind, the windmill is used to drive the waterwheel and stir up the water in the river.
If there is no wind, let people pedal on it, just like pedaling a bicycle.
The excited Xiao Qiang picked up her niece Xiaolian.
"Oh, our Lian'er is really a lucky little star."
As he spoke, he kissed Xiao Lian hard on the forehead.
Xiaolian, who didn't understand why, chuckled.
"Sister-in-law, I've come up with a solution.
Let's make it after dinner.
Xiaosi, you can help me grind the ink later.
Oh, no, go to the kitchen and find some burned charcoal sticks."
After Xiao Qiang finished explaining, He opened his cheeks and started eating.
"Xiao Wu, go and ask Capt.
Li to bring two government servants to find the carpenters in the county and tell them that I have something to do with them.
If anyone dares not to come, I will catch them and lock them up in a prison."
Xiao Qiang.
Suddenly he walked outside the house and shouted to Xiao Wu.
Xiaowu has nothing to do today and is boxing in the yard.
When he heard the adults asking him to do something, he immediately responded and ran out.
After Xiao Qiang finished eating, she lay on the table and started drawing.

After drawing one picture after another, and not knowing how many were damaged, Xiao Qiang nodded with satisfaction.
Well, yes, that's what it looks like.
"Master Xiao, are you at home?"
Jin Niang walked in with her maid Lu'er, holding a wooden box in her hand.
"Mrs.
Xiao, a good citizen, I have something to discuss with you."
Jin Niang glanced at her sister-in-law Zhang with some disdain, feeling very unbalanced in her heart.
Mr.
Xiao is such a cool and elegant person, why did he fall in love with this woman from the tofu shop?
What a pity, for such a woman, I would rather stay in this shabby county town.
"Miss Liu, my husband is busy and has no time to see you.
If you, a girl who has not yet left the court, have any grievances, you can go directly to the Yamen to complain, and there is no need to come to the house."
Sister-in-law Zhang is very disgusted with this Liu Jinniang who does not know the details. .
Xiao Qiang heard Jin Niang's voice, opened the door of the house with Xiaosi and walked out.
"Is this Miss Liu?
I was looking for you.
I didn't expect you to come right away."
When Jin Niang heard that Mr.
Xiao was looking for her, she was so happy.
The twinkling look in her little eyes can be described as a wink.
"The daughter of the people knew that Mr.
Xiao was in trouble, so she came here to help him solve the problem."
Jin Niang said while giving a provocative look at her sister-in-law Zhang.
What do you mean, who said that the adults won't see me?
Sister-in-law Zhang was secretly amused when she saw the other party's mentally retarded behavior.
Seeing my sister-in-law like that again, I thought that even with her intelligence, she was not good enough to be an undercover agent, so she said "hum" in a very cooperative manner and went back to her room.
