Chapter 50 Digging Ditches and Opening Rivers: Diverting Water from West to North!

The villagers, who had been incited by Li Liangtian to gather, all lowered their heads, some of them feeling ashamed.

They were also desperate and had no other choice. Seeing that the dry field had been flooded by the overturned cart, they were envious and felt uneasy. After being persuaded by Li Liangtian and Shuanzhu, they came along.

In fact, they were not as extreme as Li Liangtian, who insisted on burning down other people's carts and causing the villagers in the dry fields to suffer a complete crop failure along with them.

They were misled by Li Liangtian!

Some villagers began to admit their mistakes, saying, "Village head, we were wrong. We shouldn't have believed everything we heard and gathered together to make things difficult for Qingchuan."

"Yes, we were wrong. We shouldn't have made things difficult for others just because we were jealous."

Li Zhengqi said angrily, "You should apologize to Qingchuan, not me!"

The villagers who had started the trouble blushed, turned around, and apologized to Shen Qingchuan one after another.

"Qingchuan, we are really sorry. We were blinded by greed and that's why we joined in to pressure you."

“We did something stupid in a moment of impulsiveness. You helped many villagers by causing the accident, and you deserve everyone’s admiration. We shouldn’t doubt your character; it was our narrow-mindedness that led to this.”

"Yes, I'm so sorry..."

"..."

Shen Qingchuan's head was about to explode after being surrounded and interrogated by a group of troublemaking villagers.

Now that the village head has calmed things down, everyone's attitude has changed, and they apologized to him. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease.

"It's alright. We're all from the same village, so we should unite and help each other. It's just that I'm simple-minded and can't think of any other ways to help you. Please forgive me."

Aunt Chunhua immediately waved her hand and said, "Oh, it was because we were blinded by greed. It's not wrong that you couldn't think of a solution, so why are you apologizing to us? Haha."

"Exactly, Qingchuan is too honest."

With Shen Qingchuan not pursuing the matter, the two groups of villagers, who had just been at loggerheads, reconciled with a smile.

The village head glared at Li Liangtian, who was being forced to kneel on the ground, and said coldly, "Take him back, and bring Shuanzhu with you. Go back to find their parents. The rest of you can leave if you're not in trouble."

Shuisheng and Gou Dan escorted Li Liangtian and pulled Shuanzhu along, following the village head back to the village.

The villagers came down from the dike and went home in twos and threes.

As soon as Shen Xiaotang entered the village with her parents, she saw Xiaoyu wiping away tears and crying as she came out looking for them.

Xiaoyu saw her parents from afar, ran over crying, and threw herself into their arms.

Looking at her youngest daughter's red and swollen eyes, Liu felt heartbroken. "Yu'er, why did you run out?"

"Father, Mother, I... I waited at home for half a day, but you didn't come back. I was scared, so I came out to look for you."

"Alright, your parents and your older sister are all fine, they're all alright now, don't be afraid."

Shen Qingchuan gently patted his youngest daughter's head and said softly, "Your mother is right, it's alright now, everything is over, don't be afraid."

Xiaoyu stopped crying and smiled, nodding obediently.

She stepped out of her parents' arms, took her older sister's hand, and whispered, "Sister, am I... very stupid?"

My older sister is only two years older than me. She's brave and clever when things happen, while I'm a coward who can't help her at all and can only hide and cry.

Shen Xiaotang reached out and gently flicked her younger sister's forehead. "Who said you're stupid? Xiaoyu is very smart."

"Coco...but, I'm timid, and I'm not good at anything..."

Shen Xiaotang paused for a moment and said, "You're only four years old, still very young. It's enough for you to have your parents and older sister to protect you. You can help your parents and older sister when you grow up."

If she hadn't lived for over twenty years in her previous life and then been reincarnated and lived for another six years, she would have been nothing more than a six-year-old girl. If she had inherited her parents' honesty and simple-mindedness, she certainly wouldn't have turned out any better.

Fortunately, she had memories of her previous life; otherwise, what would have happened if she had spent her whole life being tormented by her parents, grandfather, and stepmother?

Xiaoyu obediently replied, "Okay, when I grow up, I'll help...my parents and older sister."

The family of four returned home, unaware that Mr. Shen, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, was standing behind them.

Mr. Shen was tricked by Li Liangtian today and went to his eldest son's house with him. He didn't solve anything and got himself into trouble. He was furious.

After descending the embankment, he followed behind his eldest son's family the whole way, but not a single person turned around to look at him.

That's incredibly unfilial!

As evening approached, Liu cooked in the small kitchen while Shen Xiaotang tended the vegetable garden, picking eggplants, loofahs, and green beans.

Shen Qingchuan tidied up the scrap wood left over from building the overturned vehicle in the yard, preparing to build another cabinet and add some items to his two daughters' rooms.

The village head, along with his eldest son Shen Che, suddenly arrived at the door.

Shen Xiaotang, who was picking vegetables, was the first to see the village head. After a moment of surprise, she immediately called out to him.

"Grandpa Village Head, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing their daughter's voice, Shen Qingchuan and Liu immediately put down what they were doing and went out to greet her.

"Village head, if there's anything you need, you can just send someone to tell you. Why did you have to come all the way here in person?"

Shen Che smiled slightly and said, "Brother Qingchuan caused a car accident, and now he's become a celebrity in the village. Everyone praises Brother Qingchuan for being so smart."

"As the village head, my father has a responsibility to lead everyone in solving the drought problem, but he really can't think of a better way, so he wanted to come and discuss it with Brother Qingchuan."

Shen Qingchuan and his eldest daughter exchanged a glance and understood what was going on.

The village head also came to him for advice!

Shen Qingchuan scratched his head and said with an honest expression, "Uncle Village Head, I really didn't hold anything back. I can't think of any good solutions either, really."

The village head waved his hand, his face solemn. "I know your character. It's not that I think you're hiding anything, but I think that you can come up with a way to save the farmland by creating a derailment. Your brain is better than those fools who only know how to cause trouble. That's why I came to discuss this with you. Even if we can't come up with a good solution in the end, it's okay. We'll just do our best."

Regardless, it's true that Qingchuan is a sharp mind!

A group of villagers came to the house and surrounded the family, pressuring them and threatening to overturn the car. The family was so angry that they had no mind to think of a solution.

He personally visited them, speaking kindly and persuasively, encouraging them to take their time to think things over. He reasoned that if they were to stumble upon another miracle, the drought problem might be solved.

Shen Qingchuan looked troubled. What could he possibly come up with if he asked him for a solution?

He was no different from the other villagers; his daughter came up with all the solutions.

"Village head, I really can't think of anything. Why don't you all try..."

Shen Xiaotang immediately interrupted her father and pulled him aside.

“Father, I have an idea, but I can’t tell you now. Tell the village head to go home first and tell him when you want to come out and find him.”

She had a plan, but she had to discuss it with her father beforehand so that the village head and Shen Che wouldn't find out that it was a young girl like her who was coming up with the idea.

Moreover, with such a big commotion today, even my father couldn't come up with a solution, but the village headman came and came up with a solution. What do the villagers think?

Shen Qingchuan was stunned for a moment before he realized what his daughter had said and immediately told the village head what she had told him.

The village head nodded in agreement and led his son away.

Shen Qingchuan was shocked; his daughter was incredibly intelligent.

"Tang'er, tell your father quickly, do you have any ideas?"

"Dig ditches and open rivers, divert water from the west to the north!"

What is the West-to-North Water Diversion Project?
