Chapter 178: Chapter 180: Tears Like Rain_1

Brother Ye’s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

"You should leave. May the journey be smooth," Nan Feng quickly turned around.

As soon as she turned around, tears started to flow like rain.

If she had known this would be the outcome, why did she rush to come here?

She walked swiftly towards the village.

This time, it was Brother Ye who watched her leave.

Who would say that he had no one to care about here?

Who would say this place was not worth his longing?

...

In the Zhou family courtyard.

"Oh my, Brother Ye, that ugly freak, has finally left!" Ms. Wang said excitedly.

"That’s great, it’s such a relief to get that out of the system," the eldest Zhou said.

The second and third Zhou brothers and their wives were present. The third brother specifically bought two jin of pork and a few taels of wine to celebrate. The third Zhou brother’s wife had also brought some bamboo shoots forstir-fry. In no time at all, several big pots of dishes were made.

The three brothers were gathered around the table like it was New Year’s. No, even New Year’s wasn’t this lively.

The eldest Zhou said again, "Fortunately, we had thought of a strategy before opening the reservoir. No matter who asks, we’ll just say we were soundly asleep at home!"

"Brother Ye and that little bitch Nan Feng thought they were so clever. Hmph, they still got played by us."

"It’s a pity that only Brother Ye left. It would have been nice if that little bitch Nan Feng was also driven away."

"..."

Zhou Dongdong was in the room helping to cook, and she heard everything they were saying.

When she heard the last sentence, Zhou Dongdong’s spatula suddenly fell to the ground.

She had guessed that night that the release of the water was done by her parents, but after all, they were her biological parents, and she couldn’t not defend them. Hearing them say it so smugly, she suddenly got angry.

Zhou Dongdong rushed out and said, "Father, mother, why did you do this? The seedlings in the field are the lifeline of the whole village. If they all die, aren’t you committing a sin? I heard that such a sin would send you to the eighteenth layer of hell."

Eldest Zhou looked at Zhou Dongdong, "Who gave birth to you, huh? Have you forgotten that Brother Ye smashed our water jar that night? If we didn’t drive him away today, we would be split in half like that water jar in the future. Then you’d be an orphan, who would marry you off? Who would raise your younger siblings?"

"..." Zhou Dongdong felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t quite put a finger on it and just stood there silently.

Ms. Wang became impatient and shoved her, "Go, go, go. If you don’t continue cooking, the vegetables in the pot will be burnt!"

Zhou Dongdong had no choice but to go back and continue cooking.

...

The seedlings in the field were not damaged. They seemed to grow even better after being soaked in the water, even more verdant than before.

Now, the villagers suddenly started to regret once again.

Everyone felt it was a pity that Brother Ye had left.

As for Uncle Zhou who was guarding the reservoir, he was quite content. The monthly payment of 500 wen allowed him to live comfortably. He could buy meat every few days, and the butcher would deliver the pork to him on the mountain. When he was free, he would fish by the reservoir. He made quite a good catch on good days.

Uncle Zhou lived in a wooden house that was originally used to store tools during the construction of the reservoir. The hut had been renovated and was quite sturdy with a simple bed, which was quite comfortable.

As for Nan Feng...

Ever since Brother Ye left, she carried on as if nothing had happened on the surface. But every time she thought of Brother Ye, she couldn’t help but sigh. Then, a dull pain would arise in her chest.

One day in the vegetable field, Nan Feng ran into Ms. Wang, Ms. Chen, and the third Zhou brother’s wife.
