Chapter 418: Mountains Embrace the Water

The Western Village, located on the western side of Lu Wu Township, is relatively more prosperous to the southeast, where the yields are also more abundant. Even though Lu Wu Township is only a small village, the difference between the southeast and northwest is evident in every aspect. For instance, many homes near the town center in the southeast almost resemble those in the town, constructed with bluestone and green tiles, while towards the northwest, more houses are made of yellow clay, characteristic of generally poorer villages. Of course, even in poorer areas, there are wealthy families such as Zhu Zi's, who, despite living in the northwest, mostly do so because of their ancestral homeland, and the old mother who cannot bear to leave her old companions.
