Novel Full Chapter 1037: Not caring
Wang Yu was getting a headache just thinking about how to deal with Yu Dong and her family. She wanted to rush ahead and deal with Yu Dong just as she dealt with many other commoners but now the matter was no longer as simple.
With Magistrate Li eyeing her and her family, if they were to create a ruckus for Yu Dong then they would surely suffer. In the end, she could only think of a way that would solve the matter peacefully, she rubbed her brows and then stated calmly, ” Go and tell Yu Dong that I only want to talk to her peacefully. There is no need for her to act so carefully!”
However inwardly, she was already planning a way to take revenge on Yu Dong. Since that woman wanted to find trouble with them, then she could only blame herself!
Once Wang Shi comes out of the prison, she will deal with those Yu family members!
” Yes madam!” The mammies agreed as they saluted and bowed in front of Wang Yu before stepping out of the office. The two of them looked at one another and before sighing, if this matter was not solved then they could simply forget coming to work again.
While the mammies were trying their best to keep their jobs, Yu Dong was watching the well diggers dug out another well. She looked at the water sloshing inside the well and then stepped forward before taking a long pole that was more than ten meters tall.
She then placed the bamboo pole inside the well and pursed her lips when she saw that it was only eight meters long. All she wanted was to dig a well that was ten meters deep why was it so difficult?
” Dong Dong, what’s the matter? Isn’t it deep enough ?” Aunt Wang looked at the disappointed expression of Yu Dong and asked. ” Eight meters is not small either. If we use water carefully then we might be able to live past this summer with ease.”
” Thats not the point, Aunt Wang,” Yu Dong shook her head as she pulled the pole out and then turned to look at Aunt Wang with a worried look in her eyes. ” Sooner or later the river behind the village will run dry when that happens, villagers will start taking water from the well to water their fields, if that happens what will we do?
We need to look for a well that would be deep enough to be used for irrigation purposes alone.”
With that, she turned on her heels and then walked towards the person who was in charge of digging wells.
” Madam Gong, how is work going on?” Yu Dong asked as she looked at the well diggers who were digging the last and final well in the village. If this one turned out to be useless as well, then Yu Dong had to put a stop to growing vegetables as well.
Madam Gong paused and then looked at Yu Dong. She raised her hand and then wiped the sweat dripping down her chin before replying, ” The work is going fine, but I have to say that don’t look forward to getting a ten or twenty-meter-deep well. The land here is a bit too humid, I don’t think we will be able to get much drinkable water from here.”
Because the Big River Village was close to the ocean, most of the water under the land was either salty or not fit for drinking. It was not easy for Yu Dong to find these few spots that had fresh water which could be used for drinking.
” I understand,” Yu Dong nodded. Looks like she still has to work hard.
With that thought in her head, she once again released her spiritual energy. This time she decided to increase her searching range and even included the mountains. Not wanting to miss out on anything.
Her spiritual energy searched high and low before coming to a stop next to the mountain. Yu Dong pursed her lips and then turned on her heels to walk over to where her spiritual energy had stopped. Seeing her leave, Aunt Wang also followed, “What’s going on?”
” I think we can look for a last well,” Yu Dong had stayed in the apocalypse and she knew how important water was as a resource. Her world was much hotter than this place, one couldn’t walk ten metres without fainting if they did not have two or three water bottles with them. Heat strokes were avidly common as the sun’s temperature was simply way beyond something that humans could adapt to.
It was only when humans started to develop cores as well that were they able to withstand the high temperatures.
Yu Dong knew that once the drought started everyone would start looking for water resources in that case she had to make preparations. There were many mers who were pregnant in the village. If they did not have enough water then they would have to compromise. If that happens then either the pregnant mers and the villagers will get water to drink or their fields.
And even if they somehow survived. If they had no money then what was the point of surviving?
” Dong Dong, don’t you think you are thinking too much?” Aunt Wang remarked as she followed Yu Dong. ” We have so many wells even if we don’t have a twenty or ten-meter deep well, it’s fine.”
Yu Dong however did not think so, she shook her head and then stated quietly, ” Aunt Wang, think it over carefully. With the temperature rising, some villagers are already taking water from the well, if this goes on do you think we will be able to save water in the well?”
Without rain the water in those wells will not replenish, they need a natural water source that would be deep enough that water will not be a problem for them.
When Aunt Wang heard Yu Dong’s response, she had to admit that she was right. The villagers were already taking water from the well, at this point she suddenly remembered a little incident that had taken place a few days ago and said, ” Dong Dong, I heard from Sun Ah Cy that you have refused to let her mother and her take water from the well?”
Sun Ah Cy and her mother have left a deep impression on Aunt Wang. The two of them were simply ruthless to the max, not only did they eat the rotten meat of the animals, but they even fell sick. If this was the only thing it would have been fine but the two of them were not only heartless to the max but they also acted up at the most important moments.
When the avalanche happened, the mother and daughter pair ran with the rest of the village and hid in the bunker even when Yu Dong asked them to stay away just like Tan Mo and her sister-in-law’s families. After all the avalanche never reached the shacks but even so Sun Ah Cy and Mother Sun hid the bunker.
The two families were smart and sensible enough to stay out of the bunker and find a way to survive on their own while Sun Ah Cy and her mother left the shacks causing more than half of the village to catch that deadly flu.
If not for Yu Dong and Doctor Gu who looked for a way to deal with the disease they would have killed half of the villagers!
” I did!” Just thinking about the Sun family’s daughter and mother pair was enough to make Yu Dong grind her teeth. “I don’t mind villagers taking water from the well but those wells are divided into which one will be used for drinking and which one will be used for washing.”
Yu Dong separated the freshwater well as drinking one while the one that had hard water, she left it to be used for bathing and washing purposes.
However, Sun Ah Cy and her mother were lazy to the max. The well which was closest to them was a drinking well but despite that, they started to take water out from it without any consideration. They not only filled their drinking vessels but they also bathed from the same water.
If that was alone, she wouldn’t have minded but the two were simply hopeless. Now that they no longer have to bring water from the river they were acting like young mistresses, they actually threw the water that could still be used on the ground for no reason! How wasteful was that!
If this was the case then they might as well not have any water to waste!
This annoyed Yu Dong and she ordered Mammy Lin to govern the well and how much water the villagers were taking each one of them was allowed to take four buckets full of bathing water if they took any more than that then they would be refused.
Didn’t the Sun family’s mother and daughter not care for the conditions? Then she will teach them how to care!
