Wu Sinan didn't go back during the night, and after nagging a meal at Jiaoniang's house, he stayed at the Village Chief's house for the time being.

There was no need to mention the two yamen runners, they were naturally well-received. From their words, the village chief found out that Lin Qiang's family had long moved to Lin Quan County, and even abandoned their work there.

The village chief sighed, and did not tell anyone else about Lin Qiang's family's matter. The village head was currently living in a run-down house in the village.

It was much cooler at the foot of the mountain. The men took their clothes and chatted and joked along the riverside, while the younger boys didn't even wear their shoes to chase after them. The girls could only look at them with envy from a distance, but their mothers turned their faces away and said, "The girls aren't ashamed, what are they looking at?"

He put the soybeans that had been boiled during the day into a wooden basin and covered it with a thin gauze cloth. Then, he tied the gauze tightly with a rope.

After everything was done, Jiaoniang showered, changed into a clean set of clothes, and went out to enjoy the cool air. Almost all of the villagers at the entrance of the village were there, sitting in groups of two or three.

Jiaoniang was sitting next to the Madam Lin and her daughter-in-law was about to be born in a few days. With her stomach full, unable to think of eating and drinking, it was so hot that she couldn't stay in the house anymore. She was complaining to the little sister, "This child is really a coincidence, it's this year's hottest, he's even picking up the hottest days when he's being born.

"What's there to be bitter about? Which mother didn't come over like this? When I gave birth to Brother Qing, he froze to death in the middle of winter." This is the life of the mother. "

When she heard her mother-in-law talk about her husband, Mulan pouted and put her hand on her stomach without saying anything. Two days ago, her family's sister-in-law had come to visit her and told her that her mother-in-law had especially borrowed ice from her in-laws and left it in her room for fear that something would happen to her. Her mother-in-law had only mentioned a few words to her. These days, her mother-in-law had been whispering in her ear about how other people were arduously giving birth to children, and that it wasn't easy for Brother Qing to earn money in the county. In short, she didn't want to spend money on her.

"Didn't Madam Lin make a lot of money by setting up a stall at the entrance of the village? You can't spend that much just to buy a block of ice in the county, can you? " A woman interrupted.

"What do you know!?" Buying ice was not going to cost much, so he had to bring it back in a carriage. Since the weather was so hot, there was probably only half of a piece left. How long could it last for? I still want to save up that little bit of money for my eldest grandson to go to school for. I'm still young and don't know the Gu family, how can I be at ease and hand this family over to you in the future? "

Madam Lin was a little dissatisfied that she mentioned this matter again in front of outsiders.

Jiaoniang who was listening at the side suddenly asked: "Is there a place that sells ice in the county?"

"Yes, there are some wealthy families that would dig an ice cellar in the manor and sell it for a fair price even if they can't use it all up. It's just that it's a little difficult to transport it back and forth."

"Since you want to sell some of them, that's good. I think the weather will continue to heat up, so why don't we take advantage of the fact that it's not too hot yet to get some ice? When the time comes, I'll buy them and share them with you.

Madam Lin was a little embarrassed, "How can I keep taking advantage of you? If there is an ice storage room, I will buy more to keep at home. When I need it, I will just go back to get it."

"Listening to Jiaoniang's words, you plan to build an icehouse?"

Jiaoniang was a little conflicted. She really wanted to go to the ice cellar and buy ice cubes to come back to him. No matter what, living a new life would not make her experience too much hardship. But to build an ice house, on one hand, it was a problem with manpower, and on the other hand, it was money. With the weather getting hotter, the business at Qiao Family Restaurant also started to turn sluggish, and it was natural that Jiaoniang would receive fewer dividends. However, she was only halfway through her repairs, and due to the fact that the weather did not continue, it would definitely be worth a lot of money if she continued.

At that time, the group of old foxes had said that they would donate money to build the monolith, but because the weather was too hot, the monolith formation had been suspended. Who wouldn't want to stay at home and cool off?

It's fine if the heavens are hot, but there's not even a single drop of rain. Recently, there have been many people watering in Lin Family Village, and this is a river in the village.

This was also one of the bad aspects of the life of the small farmers of ancient times. The annual harvest was entirely dependent on the heavens.

Still, he had to go to the county and visit those old foxes. After discussing the matter of repairing the road, he would decide whether or not he should repair the ice cellar.

Wu Sinan rolled up his sleeves and started to play beside the river to his satisfaction. Only then did he feel that the summer heat had subsided a little, and all the farmers knew that he was a rich person, but no one knew of his background. Seeing how he was so close to the citizens, they all became more bold, and started to make dirty jokes, causing the entire group to laugh.

Even at this time, Wu Sinan did not forget his mission, and asked while pulling on a small person: "Who is that young lady dressed in white under the tree today? Have you ever been married? "

The man was startled for a moment, but after thinking about it, he understood who Wu Sinan was talking about, and laughed sinisterly: "She is no longer some big girl, she has already become a wife, and even have children. However, her wife was taken away by the Dragon King just last month. Before she had children, she was one of the prettiest in our village, other than Jiaoniang, she was the most beautiful. Now that she has children, her waist is just a little big and her butt is swaying, truly greedy to death. " As he spoke, he chuckled.

Wu Sinan quietly turned his head away from's disgusting face, especially after hearing him talk about Jiaoniang, he really wanted to kick him into the water, how dare he think about Jiaoniang.

"Seeing that she's so young, her husband shouldn't be that old either. How did he disappear? What does it mean to be taken away by the Dragon King? "

Who knows, he was fine last month, but now he got a big fat son who was happy and drew water to give the fish to the villagers. He still hasn't finished eating the fish in my house, but the next day he was discovered drowning in the water and scared to the point where he didn't even dare to go fish anymore.

"Wasn't someone drained from the river? How could he drown? How do you know he was drowned or not killed? "
