"Exactly, exactly. Look at the neighboring village; just because they're not under Lord Chen's rule, they ended up with no money to repair the reservoir. Now, this year is a drought year, we have water for irrigation and won't miss the harvest, while they, they might starve!"
"Isn't that right? Just one village apart, the difference is huge. How many more years do you think we can enjoy these good days?"
"Li Gouzi, what do you mean? You're not dissatisfied with Lord Chen, are you?"
"Who am I to dare? Furthermore, Lord Chen has been so good to us, how could I be dissatisfied with him? Am I even human if I, Chen Gouzi, am dissatisfied with Lord Chen? What I'm worried about is, Lord Chen is not a court-appointed official but took over this land himself. I'm afraid one day the court will invade and we'll have to live like pigs and dogs again!"
