Chapter 41 Grab the water, a conspiracy from other counties!
Under the dark night, in the weak firelight, the two groups of people were angry and refused to give in to each other!
One is to protect their own reservoirs and ensure that crops have water.
One wants to get water for his crops!
With Shen Youwei's bad temper, how could she be willing to let these people take away the Shen family's water?
Seeing how unreasonable these people were, she immediately became furious.
Su Cheng worked hard to dig out the water in these reservoirs in advance, and it was also covered with cloth from her Shen family cloth shop.
How could she watch the fruits of Su Cheng's labor being destroyed by this group of people?
Besides, her Shen family has more than 300 acres of land and needs a lot of water. Once there is a lack of water, the crops will be ruined.
Regardless of emotion or reason, public or private, she would not allow these people to come over to fetch water!
"Qiang!"
The sharp sword in his hand was unsheathed, with cold light shining out, and the sword's edge was pointed directly at the group of people grabbing water.
"Be brave, you are still justified in grabbing water!"
"If you dare to move forward again, be careful of the sharp sword in my hand!"
As soon as these words came out, some people were indeed frightened, and the footsteps that rushed over stopped.
They were all ordinary people. They had never seen such a battle before. Especially when they saw the sharp sword in Shen Youwei's hand, they were too frightened to step forward.
When Su Cheng saw this, he felt relieved.
My wife is not big-breasted and brainless. At this time, she still knows how to draw a sharp sword to scare the opponent.
However, just as this thought came to mind, an angry voice appeared from the group of people opposite.
"She is the eldest lady of the Shen family, and she wants to bully us because of her family's great business!"
"If we don't bring water back tonight, the crops will wither!"
"Besides, she is just a civilian. She doesn't dare to really kill anyone. Come with me!"
As soon as this person's words came out, everyone who had stopped at first rushed forward as if they had been beaten to death.
The situation is developing out of control again!
The tenant farmers of the Shen family were not vegetarians, so they did not flinch when they saw this situation, and pushed forward with farm tools.
Even Shen Youwei's expression changed at this moment, she took back her sword and prepared to go up with the scabbard.
At this moment, Su Cheng suddenly shouted: "Everyone, I am the aunt of the Shen family, please listen to me!"
When the Shen family heard that it was their uncle, of course they stopped.
The group of people opposite who were grabbing water were actually panicking. It would be best if someone could solve this problem. They all stopped when they heard the name of Uncle Shen.
However, Shen Youwei was worried about Su Cheng's safety. When she saw Su Cheng walking to the front, she couldn't help but frown and quickly stepped forward to stand next to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng looked at Shen Youwei's worried eyes and smiled slightly at her, indicating that he would handle the matter.
Of course Shen Youwei trusted Su Cheng, but she still pressed her body tightly against Su Cheng, just in case.
Under Shen Youwei's gaze, Su Cheng looked at the group of people grabbing water and said slowly:
"Everyone, the Shen family dug these reservoirs ourselves, and we also stored the water in them ourselves!"
"Ask yourself, if you store the water yourself, are you willing to have it taken away by others?"
The simplest question, put yourself in someone else’s shoes!
At this moment, the group of people grabbing water were silent, and some even lowered their heads in shame.
The people are all simple, and they also know that their actions to grab water tonight are somewhat unjustifiable.
"But if there is no water, our crops will not survive!"
Suddenly, a voice appeared among the people grabbing water.
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes.
This voice is very familiar to him!
It seems that this voice has been speaking from the beginning.
It seems that this guy is causing trouble!
"What you said makes sense, can you come forward to talk?"
Su Cheng suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and looked straight in the direction where the sound came from.
At the same time, the group of people grabbing water also turned to look at the man.
Uncle Shen's family has asked you to come forward and speak. If you speak well, maybe you can bring some water back tonight.
As these eyes focused on one person, that person's figure was finally exposed in the firelight.
This is a short, middle-aged man with a sallow face. His eyes are wandering around, and he looks a little cunning.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, although this person was reluctant, he slowly walked to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng looked this person up and down and asked slowly: "I wonder who this brother's name is and where he lives?"
"My name is He Wu, and I'm...from Hejiazhuang." He Wu didn't dare to look directly into Su Cheng's eyes, and while he was talking, his eyes were still moving around.
"Hejiazhuang?"
Su Cheng chuckled lightly: "My tenant farmer happens to be from Hejiazhuang. Maybe you guys know each other. I'll call him out and show you."
As soon as these words came out, He Wu's expression changed drastically.
"No... no need, Hejiazhuang is so big, how can I know everyone?"
"Hmph, you still dare to lie, you are not from Hejiazhuang at all!"
Su Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold and his tone became sharp: "Quickly tell me, where are you from?"
On the side, Shen Youwei narrowed her eyes, raised the sharp sword in her hand, and put it directly on the man's neck.
This time, He Wu couldn't hold it any longer.
"Plop!"
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
"I was just following orders. A policeman from Xincheng County asked me to bring people here to grab water."
He Wu knelt on the ground and said with a sad face: "They said there is a reservoir in Liuhe County with water in it. As long as we grab the water, our crops will be saved."
"And... and he also promised to give me some money after the matter is completed."
As soon as these words came out, the tenant farmers on the Shen family's side were furious.
"What, you are from another county!"
"This bastard actually came to us to grab water!"
"Miss, uncle, you can't just let him go like this!"
They dug these reservoirs, and they worked hard to store the water.
People from other counties actually came over to cause trouble, which naturally aroused their anger.
Even Shen Youwei was so angry that she kicked He Wu.
If Su Cheng hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to slap him!
"Madam, this matter should not be underestimated!"
Su Cheng signaled Shen Youwei to retreat behind him, and then turned to look at He Wu: "So, these people are not from Liuhe County, either?"
"They are all from Xincheng County." He Wu lowered his head and whispered.
As for the group of people grabbing water, they completely lost their confidence at this moment and were all dejected.
After their identities were exposed, they still had no momentum left at the beginning.
After all, this is Liuhe County. It is definitely unreasonable for people from other counties to come to grab water. No matter where you try to reason with them, they are the unreasonable party!
However, Su Cheng realized the seriousness of this matter.
Since people come to grab water from the Shen family’s reservoir, are there people coming to grab water from other people’s reservoirs as well?
In other words, people in Xincheng County and other counties know that there is water in Liuhe County, and they are ready to come on a large scale to grab water!
If this is the case, things will become more and more troublesome.
If it is not handled well, it will definitely trigger a riot!
