Having Cheng Huzhong send the Jin father and son back in the ox-cart, the lady watched them leave. She pouted unhappily and said, "Why can't I let Sister Jin Ling stay in our house?"

These days, Jin Ling had been playing with him like a gentle older sister. He had long treated her as his own family. Who would have thought that there would be a day when Jin Ling would leave?

The little miss cast a sidelong glance at him and suddenly felt a little worried about whether or not he would become a character like Jia Baoyu by staying with the girls all day. She did not want her little brother to become a man like that, after all, she had to send him to the private school as soon as possible.

She had asked, and the school closest to the Li family village was only a few dozen li away. How could it be so easy to get out of school? As a parent, for the sake of a child's future, she could only make the children study; otherwise, how could they rise to prominence? If there was no other way by autumn, Iron Egg would have to go to the private school and study. At that time, he could only come back once a week.

Touching the iron egg who did not know his fate, the lady was a little helpless. Recently, it was better to let him have a good time. Previously, the lady had thought that if she had a child, she must give it a perfect childhood. Which child didn't like to play with it? Even the lady had gone to the river to catch mudfish when she was young. Didn't she also become a genius later on? Why press the child's only childhood to urge him to study?

Besides, Tie Wu was much better than his peers in the village right now. He was practicing martial arts every day, reading and studying, and he was also very serious. He could also teach orchids, so she shouldn't ask too much.

Iron Egg didn't know that his sister had already planned his future in his mind because of his words. Knowing that Jin Ling couldn't come back, he pulled Orchid to the backyard to see the chickens, and his sister said that the chickens would lay eggs in two months. When the time came, he and Orchid would have the task of picking up the eggs, and he would definitely pick the eggs and take good care of the chickens.

In the past few days, everyone in the family had their own things to do, and since it was inconvenient for the lady to take over her mother's duties, she could only make clothes for her family.

It was late in the morning, and the room was already getting hot. Iron Egg was sweating all over the place. He came back and started drinking cold drinks. The lady who was watching couldn't help but be thirsty.

After drinking a little water for himself and picking up his clothes, he felt very upset. He couldn't calm himself down to make clothes, as the copper coin was still in bed sleeping, he wouldn't be able to wake up even if he didn't sleep for an hour or two. He wrapped the quilt around the bed and told Wang Plum Blossom, who was going down the slope, that the lady was going out on her walking stick.

He could only go to the house near the house and hang out, to take a look, but anyone who could work here would be in the fields. There were people like the girl who wandered around the house for a while and sat with her pregnant daughter-in-law at Auntie Lin's place. She was going to bring water to her family in the field, so the girl had to take Iron Egg and Orchid out again.

After circling around the river, they finally arrived at the river. It was very cool and refreshing, so the cute girl told Iron Egg to go back and get some pastries. The three of them sat by the river for a picnic and had a nice afternoon tea.

He told a story to Iron Egg and the other two, occasionally answering a child's speech question or two, but he didn't seem to be that annoyed anymore.

At this moment, a voice came from the riverside, "Second Brother Wang is about to unlock the door and release the fish, quickly go take a look!"

Wang Laoer was a widower in the village who dug a ditch at the east end of the village. It was about five to six acres of land, and every year, he would put some fish seedlings into the river. Logically speaking, it should have been in the spring, but it was unknown why he would open the gate and release the fish today.

The cute girl urged him to help her up, "Let's go take a look."

Thus, the crippled lady took the two children to watch the show.

After walking for 15 minutes or so, the girl finally brought Iron Egg to the east end of the village. There were already many people watching the commotion by the ditch, many of them carrying hoes and rushing over from the ground, some people even thought something had happened.

The little girl moved closer to the group of women and stuck out her head to look inside. "What's going on?"

The villagers all explained to each other that Old Second Wang had married a daughter-in-law two years ago and had no children. He went to the monastery to ask for a note for a child and was pregnant last year, but this year, he became a man and gave birth to a fat boy of seven or eight pounds. The Taoist priest had said that the child had been sent over by Prince Long, and if he wanted to return the favor, he would have to return it with the fish from the six acres of land.

He had made a lot of money with these fish over the years, but he was still over forty years old and had no children. Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Prince Long gave him a fat kid, which was much more important than earning money.

The lady did not know where to start complaining. Wasn't sending off Guan Yin? How was he related to the Dragon King? But the villagers didn't care about this at all. When they heard that the second son was sent by the Dragon King, they all wanted to be happy.

The lady looked from afar at Second Brother Wang standing at the mouth of the dam. It was unknown what she was saying, but she could tell from his dancing hands and feet that he must be very happy. The water in the ditch was drawn in from the Lancang river, forcefully digging out a small river. In order to prevent the fish from being washed away by the rising water, a dam was built, and an iron gate was set up to block the way.

Even though it was called a ditch, it was actually already called a lake. The surface of the lake was rippling, and it was unknown how many big fish were hidden underneath, but Second Brother Wang had dug this lake for more than ten years, starting from his father's generation. When he had money, he would buy the surrounding land and continue digging.

At this time, it had been over a month since the rain had stopped. The water level of the lake was much higher than that of Lancang River. As soon as the gate was opened, the water from the lake gushed out.

There was too much water in the lake, and even after looking for over ten minutes, they still could not feel any change in the water level. The villagers only watched for a bit before returning.

However, not long after he returned, the village head sent people to inform everyone that they were going to the ancestral hall for a meeting. Only then did the cute girl find out that the village head had some use for this meeting.

Since their daughter didn't want to go, Ye Xuan and the others had no choice but to brace themselves and go.

During the meeting, the little girl saw Old Second Wang up close. He looked to be about fifty years old, a thin man with a smile on his face. Next to him was a well-dressed woman who had an indifferent expression as she teased the baby in her arms.

It seemed that no matter what dynasty it was, rich people would always like to marry wives younger than them.

The Village Chief coughed dryly, interrupting the villagers' discussion, "Today I called everyone here to announce something, this is our village's Wang Mingfei, everyone knows about him, right?"

"I know!" The villagers laughed and said, "When we were growing up, we went to drink!"

However, the lady in red was not on the list. She probably thought that meeting someone with bad character was not suitable for such a joyous occasion.

Second Brother Wang was still smiling as he waved his hand.

The village chief continued, "Old Wang said, why not give the fish in the river to the Dragon King to give to our village people, anyway it's for the good of it, I don't think the Dragon King will care about that, so tomorrow after the water is finished, everyone should remember to take the things to catch the fish, and after you catch them and count them, the fish will be distributed according to the population!"

Everyone in the village cheered, then another person had a different opinion, "Then if I get more, then I'll be the only one in my family, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"

The one who spoke was the village man, his parents were dead, his wife had run away, and he was the only one left in the village.

"This …" Second Brother Wang felt the same way. He had been selling fish for so many years, and he started off with the word 'fair'. If he caught more, wouldn't that be unfair?

"How about we just let whoever gets it get it? It's so lively that we, Xiao Hang, love the liveliness." Hearing his wife talking about his son, how could Wang Lao Er not agree? He agreed repeatedly that he was the one who should get his own money, but he could not fight, and could not take other's.

The little girl scoffed. How could they be in control of this matter? At that time, it would be possible for them to fight. However, who wouldn't want to take part in such a good opportunity to land? If it wasn't for her weak legs and legs, she would have jumped in to fish.

When he got home and told her about it, the family members, regardless of their size, were all eager to give it a try, so the lady had to give them a day off. Tomorrow, no one had to work, so they went to the river to watch the fun.

The little girl held his ear and warned him, don't get too close to the river, you can even drown in a cow's nest. When the time comes, no matter what, who would be able to see someone fall into the river?

That night, the atmosphere in the village was as if it was New Year's Eve. Many people had already prepared the buckets. Everyone at home went up to battle, waiting for the next day to make a huge profit.
