After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 34 Regret
Gao Zhi also lay down by the well, and when he saw water coming out, he immediately burst into loud laughter.

Shen Yi climbed out of the well and saw the two of them overjoyed, but he couldn't smile at all. "There is water, but it's about the same as the water that was initially dug out in Dongmen Village and Ximen Village. We've already dug very deep, and it will be the same if we continue to dig. This amount of water is enough to supply the drinking water of your whole village, but I'm afraid it will be a bit of a stretch to use it for spring plowing."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling the elderly couple to the bone.

Liu was frantic. "What can we do? We've already missed a deadline. We must start spring planting immediately, or it will be too late!"

Shen Yi's expression was solemn. "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I want to see the situation in Dongmen Village and Ximen Village. They also had low water output at first, and it took a long time for the water volume to rise. Only Dongmen Village saw a significant increase in water volume. Zhongmen Village didn't experience such an exaggerated increase. I guess the groundwater in your area is extremely deep and unevenly distributed. Only by breaking through the hole can the water volume rise. As for how long that will take, no one knows."

Gao Zhi collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears, filled with regret. "If only I hadn't been so proud in the first place, and had dug the well with everyone else!"

Liu felt even more distressed, but she still tried to comfort the old man, "Forget it, it's all fate! Everyone has advised us, but they wouldn't listen and even tried to be clever. It's already a blessing from heaven that we have such a well!"

After saying that, Liu took out two taels of silver from her bosom and handed them to Shen Yi, saying, "Master Shen, thank you for your hard work today."

Shen Yi had worked for so long, so he didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the money generously before leading Su Tai out of the village.

After they left, Gao Zhicai called the villagers to his home and explained the situation.

The villagers were filled with remorse, jumping up and down, beating their chests and stamping their feet. Some, who liked to shirk responsibility, immediately turned their anger towards Xiong Kai, saying, "It's all your fault, you jinx! Master Shen had already come to our village to claim land that day, but you insisted on cutting off our livelihood! If it weren't for your mischief, with Master Shen's help, our village would have had enough water long ago!"

"That's right! Xiong Kai demands an explanation from us!"

The villagers began to fight against Xiong Kai.

The expressions of the Xiong and Mo families all changed simultaneously.

Xiong Kai was indignant and argued, "You didn't say a word when I did this, did you? Now you're settling scores and taking all the benefits! Our Xiong family may be weak and powerless, but we're not easy to bully!"

"Who bullied you? We're just stating the facts!"

Mo Laotian stepped forward with a sullen face to smooth things over, saying, "Everyone, calm down. Things have come to this point, let's hurry up with spring plowing and talk about everything else after planting."

"Hmph! You snakes and rats are all in cahoots, so naturally you'll side with Xiong Kai!" A woman spat out angrily and turned away.

The others also left, grumbling and cursing.

Xiong Kai jumped up in anger, wanting to fight them to the death, but was stopped by the Xiong family and the Mo family. A group of people pulled and tugged at him as they left the village chief's house.

Liu was exhausted. She wanted to complain to Gao Zhi, but found that Gao Zhi had aged several years in an instant. She swallowed her words and only sighed, "Shen Yi and Miss Su are such a good match. Xiong Kai and Mo Chunxiang are also quite a good match!"

Gao Zhi became even more silent.

After sending Su Tai home, Shen Yi hurriedly rushed back to Shen Family Village.

The crops in the fields need watering, and they can't be left unattended during this time.

On the Su family's side, Su Chunlin and his family finally planted all the wheat, leaving six mu of inferior land and two mu of sandy land unplanted.

Grain seeds are too expensive now, so planting them in these fields is a waste, but leaving them there isn't a problem either.

Su Chunlin brought up this issue during dinner.

Su Tai thought that the wheat in the Earth Dimension would be ready for harvest in a few days, so she whispered, "Dad, don't rush. In a while, we'll go to Shen Family Village to find Brother Shen. He can buy some different kinds of vegetable seeds there."

Su Chunlin nodded, not doubting Su Tai's words at all.

When the wheat harvest came in the Earth Time and Space, Su Tai resumed her life of working day and night. While others slept, she worked, and while others worked, she slept. Fortunately, no one in the family expected her to do anything, so no one complained about her laziness.

She ended up with 350 jin of wheat from less than an acre of land. She kept 100 jin and sold the rest to the automated trading platform for 5 virtual coins per jin, earning her 1250 coins.

Seeing this balance, Su Tai felt that all the hard work during this period was worthwhile.

With money in hand, she felt particularly confident stepping into the seed shop again. Based on the information she had gathered from Shen Yi and considering her own few acres of barren land, she ultimately chose soybean and peanut seeds that were drought-resistant, disease- and pest-resistant, and high-yielding.

One mu of land requires three to five jin of soybean seeds and twenty jin of peanut seeds.

The boss chose some of the more expensive seeds for her, which cost a total of 470 coins. The virtual currency, which hadn't even warmed up yet, suddenly went from four figures to three figures.

In order to upgrade the Earth Dimension as soon as possible, she decided to continue planting cabbages this time, and she also needed to buy some cabbage seeds.

Fortunately, she didn't need much, and the shop owner generously gave her a pack without charging her.

Su Tai finished her work in the earthen cave before going to Shenjiazhuang with Su Chunlin.

This time, the father and daughter didn't come empty-handed; instead, they picked a basket of wild vegetables along the way.

When they arrived at Shen Yi's house, the wild vegetables had already wilted a bit.

Su Chunlin is thick-skinned and doesn't feel embarrassed at all.

Su Tai, however, had ulterior motives and didn't care about the wild vegetables.

Shen Yi stared at the basket of wild vegetables, then looked at Su Tai with a puzzled expression, "Eat this?"

Su Tai nodded, contentedly holding her teacup, and whispered to Shen Yi, "I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Shen Yi has become quite adept at covering for Su Tai, and now he knows exactly how to cooperate as soon as Su Tai makes a move.

The two of them, working in unison, completely fooled Su Chunlin.

Looking at the peanut and soybean seeds, Su Chunlin asked, somewhat bewildered, "Can we really grow peanuts and soybeans here?"

It's not that Langya Kingdom doesn't have peanuts and soybeans, it's just that no one in their territory grows them. I heard that some people in a small area of ​​the southeast cultivate them, but they are precious crops that are difficult to care for and grow well.

Some people work hard for a year, only to end up with nothing, and gradually no one bothers to do anything anymore.

Shen Yi glanced at Su Tai and nodded firmly, "Uncle, don't worry, I definitely won't cheat you. These are new seeds. If my family didn't have any inferior land, I wouldn't have given you these seeds."

"Oh! Then I'll have to give you money first." Su Chunlin pretended to take out some silver.

Shen Yi quickly stopped him, "Uncle, don't rush. Although they told me they could guarantee it would grow, you haven't planted it yet, so I can't take the money. You can give me the same amount of soybeans and peanuts after it actually grows, okay?"

Su Chunlin thought for a moment and said, "If it really grows successfully, I'll pay you back double! I definitely won't let you suffer a loss!"

"Okay! We'll do it your way."

Sorry, the updates have been too fast, my darlings. I'll be updating two chapters a day for the next few days, and then I'll do a big update later.
