Chapter 46 The end of the drought

Fortunately, Wang Pang and his party left after seeing Li Hong.

In order to make his family understand, Zhou Sheng told everyone that Li Hong should stay at home during this period and recover from his injuries.

Now that he had spoken, the family had no choice but to obey.

Zhou Sheng has become the backbone of the family, and everyone believes that his current decision has been carefully considered.

These days, Li Hong is indeed living shamelessly in the Zhou family. The Zhou family provides food and drink, and he lives a comfortable life.

Zhou Sheng did not try to make things difficult for Li Hong, but when he felt that the time was right, he would drive Li Hong away.

Wang Pang visits Li Hong from time to time, nominally to see Li Hong, but actually to see Li Rou.

Zhou Sheng knew Fatty Wang's intention, so he asked Li Rou to go out less when Fatty Wang came to avoid meeting Fatty Wang.

Although Wang Pang wanted to find Li Rou intentionally or unintentionally, he couldn't see her because of the two elders' obstruction...

On this day, Zhou Quan hurriedly came back from outside. After taking a sip of water, he pulled Zhou Sheng and said, "Son, there was a death in the forest where we went to collect wild yams some time ago."

When Zhou Sheng heard this, his face was full of confusion.

"I heard that many people have been looking for wild yams recently, and some people encountered black bears and were bitten to death." Zhou Quan was scared when he thought about it. Fortunately, they didn't encounter it when they went to the forest.

Zhou Sheng thought thoughtfully, thinking that he must have led Heizi to look for wild yams, and Heizi went up the mountain to look for them. Once the villagers learned of the benefits, they followed him to look for wild yams.

"Dad, don't talk too much about this matter, it's none of our business." Zhou Sheng said calmly, telling Zhou Quan not to worry about it.

"I know, but now the family members of the deceased are going to Heizi's house to make trouble, saying that Heizi took the lead in picking yams, and Heizi is responsible!" Zhou Quan added, but in fact he was worried about his son, and was afraid that Heizi would get involved in Zhou Sheng's head.

Zhou Sheng understood his father's worry and smiled to comfort him, "Dad, don't worry, Heizi won't tell anything about me."

"But we also have to take precautions and think of solutions." Zhou Quan said worriedly.

Zhou Sheng nodded, "Dad, I have a sense of discretion on this matter. Okay, let's stop talking and hurry up and eat." He did not continue this topic, feeling that it was meaningless...

For several days in a row, Zhou Sheng's house was very quiet, but Heizi's house was very noisy. I heard that people would make trouble every day.

The family members of the deceased simply regarded Heizi as a scapegoat. Even if someone else had bad luck and was bitten to death by a black bear, some unreasonable villagers couldn't care less and only wanted to vent their emotions.

From Zhou Sheng's point of view, Heizi was the one to blame for this incident. Fortunately, Heizi had good sense and did not implicate him.

A few days later, a heavy rainstorm hit the village.

Many villagers are cheering and shouting, because with rain, crops can survive and their lives can return to normal.

It rained continuously for several days, and the crops that had been killed by the sun began to come back to life, and the villagers also went to the fields to plant new crops.

The weather returns to normal, sunshine and rain alternate, crops survive, and drought and famine end.

These days, Zhou Quan goes to the fields to plant crops, and Zhou Sheng helps.

The surrounding villagers looked at Zhou Sheng's transformation, and everyone was talking about it. They didn't know what kind of change this boy had, and he became more sensible and diligent.

However, it is a good thing that this person has improved. Seeing that Zhou Sheng's temperament has improved, everyone's dislike of him has dissipated.

Once the drought ended, Zhou Sheng's sweet potato business became better and better.

Every day, the sweet potatoes that Li Fang and Li Roula go out to sell are all sold out, and the same goes for the sweet potatoes sold in the town.
