Chapter 1110 - 035 Changed color
With that look from her, Xia Zheng couldn’t keep up the pretense any longer. Licking his lips and chuckling softly, he lowered his voice and said, "I’m defeated by you. I really haven’t been to that lake, but I’ve heard from others that the lake’s water is indeed abundant and clean. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s too far from here, there would have been no need to expand this river."
By that account, the water upstream must be even better, even more plentiful. Lin Yuan couldn’t help but look upstream.
As they were talking, they had already reached the edge of Xiao He. It was exactly as the Lizheng had described; there were signs of modification along the banks of the river, and the water was not scanty. Because the land here was flat, the river didn’t flow very quickly.
Compared to the river in Lin family’s valley, this river was indeed much bigger; however, Lin Yuan didn’t feel happy or pleased at all because the more she looked at the water in this river, the more she felt something was off.
Xia Zheng also noticed the problem. He moved closer for a better look and finally understood.
"Young Master, look at how much water this river has! If you buy land here to farm, I guarantee you’ll have an excellent harvest next year!" The Lizheng continued to boast on his own, even trying to subtly steer them towards other topics. Regrettably, Xia Zheng soon punctured his little ruse.
All one heard was Xia Zheng’s cold chuckle as he said, "Lizheng, aren’t you mistaken? How can it be an excellent harvest? In my view, it should be ’very good, exceptionally good’, that is!"
Hua Hui, upon hearing Xia Zheng’s first phrase, thought that his lie was uncovered, but upon hearing the second phrase, he was instantly overjoyed. He thought to himself, how could these youngsters of wealthy birth understand farming? They must be simply messing around for fun.
Only this time, he really guessed wrong.
Before a laugh could escape, Xia Zheng’s stern yell sent him crashing from heaven to earth.
