Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 99 Her Current Hobby_1

The village chief furrowed his brows, "How can we stop them from using our well? If they insist on drawing water from it, there’s nothing we can do."

At this moment, the Clan Leader of the Lin Family, Lin Ming, said, "It’s simple. Each family contributes two men, and with more than a dozen men guarding the well day and night, those people are not deities with three heads and six arms; no matter how formidable they are, they definitely can’t beat a group of strong, young men. I want to see how they would draw water from the well then!"

"I agree," Xiao Changyi, the Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, was the first to express his approval.

"We also agree," other clan leaders also showed their consent one after another.

Only then did the village chief say, "Let’s do that then."

...

Returning from the fields, An Jing didn’t even rest before going to the kitchen to prepare dinner. However, upon lifting the lid of the water jar, she found there was no water left in it. An Jing then called out, "Husband, there’s no water."

Xiao Changyi had opened up a plot for vegetables in the courtyard, and he had sown various vegetable seeds a few days before. Some of them had already started to sprout, and at that moment, Xiao Changyi was bent over inspecting them.

Upon hearing An Jing calling him, Xiao Changyi immediately stopped inspecting and stood up, striding towards the kitchen. Entering the kitchen, he then said, "I’ll fetch some."

As he spoke, Xiao Changyi walked straight to where the buckets and shoulder pole were kept.

An Jing intentionally moved closer, wrapping her arms around Xiao Changyi’s waist, and asked in a sticky sweet voice, "Do you want me to come with you?"

Before, her hobby was to knock down her comrades-in-arms every day; now, her hobby was to tease and flirt with her household’s man each day.

Xiao Changyi hugged her back very naturally, before saying, "There’s no need."

"Alright then, come back quickly. I’m waiting for your water to cook the meal," An Jing said as she stood on tiptoes and pecked Xiao Changyi on the lips with a smile.

After the peck, she said with a grin, "In our places, wives kiss their husbands before they leave the house~"

Xiao Changyi immediately said, "I like this custom. You should continue to maintain it."

An Jing tried with great effort to suppress her laughter, her shoulders trembling.

Xiao Changyi didn’t feel awkward at all, picked up the shoulder pole, hoisted the buckets, and left the house.

Without water, An Jing couldn’t cook or wash the vegetables, so she simply walked out of the kitchen and began sweeping up the fallen leaves in the courtyard with a broom.

But before she had swept much, she heard—

"You saw that, didn’t you? Xiao Changyi has gone to draw water. The village chief has picked two strong and healthy men from each family to guard the well, forbidding their family from drawing water. There is no way he can fetch any," a woman chattered gleefully as she passed by the courtyard, clearly showing off.

"That well is ours. They only look after themselves and don’t let us have a fair share, why should we let them draw water from it!" Another woman deliberately raised her voice a bit, wanting An Jing in the courtyard to hear, aiming to add to An Jing’s troubles.

"Exactly, they truly deserve it," the woman who said he wouldn’t get any water added.

But An Jing didn’t continue to listen; instead, she threw the broom aside, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and dashed back out.

And dashed out of the courtyard.

Passing by the two women, An Jing menacingly waved the kitchen knife at them, immediately causing them to scream in terror and run back to their respective homes.

An Jing didn’t care about the women’s reactions; holding the knife, she kept running toward the location of the well in the village.

By this time, Xiao Changyi had already arrived at the well.

Facing more than a dozen men blocking his path, his expression remained unchanged as he continued to walk forward.
