I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 194: Transaction

Editor: Atlas Studios

After half a day, Liu Ting and his men finished building the remaining parts of the straw hut. The roof was covered with thick thatch. Liu Yuan patted the dry and thick thatch and said to Mu Shi, “As long as there isn’t a heavy rain, there won’t be any problems with the roof.” With that said, he looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. Wiping his sweat, he sighed. “I would rather it rain heavily, though. Look, the river water is about to dry up.”

Mu Shi turned to look at the river at the side. The water level in the river had decreased drastically, revealing the stones in the river. Mu Shi stood in the deepest part of the water, and the water only reached his waist. There was only a foot of water left in the dug canal. Now, the water in the river could no longer flow into the canal.

Now that sunlight was sufficient, the wheat and rice were growing quickly. The wheat would enter the filling stages after another two days of irrigation.

With so many wheat fields, this bit of river water was definitely not enough to water them. A fight for water was inevitable.

At the thought that he was leaving the day after tomorrow, Mu Shi couldn’t help but frown. He went back to discuss it with his daughter. “Since I’m leaving the day after tomorrow, why don’t our family start fetching water to water the fields tonight?”

“Aren’t you waiting for news from the military camp?” Mu Yangling said, “Didn’t they say that Little General might open a reservoir to release water?”

“Even then, we still have to snatch it. While I’m still at home, I can protect you a little. Tonight, we’ll water the rice field first. Tomorrow, we’ll water the wheat field.”

Since Mu Shi had made up his mind, Mu Yangling naturally listened to him.

At the same time, Qi Haoran was also telling Fan Zijin about the irrigation. “Irrigation is a big deal this time. I think we should give the entire army three days off and let them go back.”

Fan Zijin looked at him with raised eyebrows. Sighing, Qi Haoran said, “I have no choice. Big Brother sent me a message. He said that out of the five divisions, only ours is in a slightly better situation. The other divisions didn’t even manage to get much from the tiller stage, much less reach the filler stage. This year’s rations mainly have to come from our camp.”

If Qi Xiuyuan wasn’t his big brother, Qi Haoran would have cursed his mother. But since they were biological brothers, cursing Qi Xiuyuan’s mother would mean cursing his own mother. Since he came here mainly to help his big brother, he could only bear this burden.

“The assistant commanders of the 3rd and 4th Division are here to borrow water again,” Fan Zijin said.

Qi Haoran pursed his lips and said, “Ask them to exchange weapons for it. I don’t want much, just 100 long sabers, 100 spears, and five horses. Let them have all the water in Reservoir No. 1 in exchange.”
