84 They Drank The Water
Speaking of Grandma, Little Ah Yu also missed Grandma. Although the Liu family was very warm to her, she still liked the w.a.n.g family more.
Her brothers would definitely miss her too!
Qin Shi was a little sad. She really wanted to keep her youngest daughter and her family.
It had been two years since they last met. They had only seen each other for a short while and they were leaving again.
Liu Shi also kept wiping her tears. She was not afraid that Old Madam w.a.n.g would not allow her to stay, but her family was not rich. Every day she stayed here was a burden to her family.
How could she be so selfish?
Her mother-in-law had already said before she came that if her family was not doing well, she had to return early to prevent her mother from being in a difficult position.
As a mother, she knew best what another mother was thinking.
w.a.n.g Chuanman felt terrible when he saw his wife crying.
All these sadness were caused by poverty!
If the family conditions were slightly better, he could bring more things over and his wife could stay in her family for as long as she wanted.
“Mother, I’ll come to see you again after I’m done at home.” When she was free, she could still make a trip like this to gather with her family.
Qin Shi nodded. “Alright.”
When w.a.n.g Chuanman’s family of three was about to leave, Qin Shi shouted again, “Shi’er, wait!”
She returned to the house and opened the cabinet to get her things. Her movements were too loud. She clutched her chest and coughed.
When Little Ah Yu heard her grandmother coughing outside, she immediately ran back to the central room to look for a cup, but she could not find one.
Xing Hua followed her, thinking that she was thirsty. “Sister Ah Yu, do you want some water? Let me pour it for you.”
The dining table at home was much taller than Little Ah Yu. Little Ah Yu tiptoed for a long time but could not even get a cup.
Xing Hua picked up the kettle at the side and poured a gla.s.s of water for Little Ah Yu.
“Thank you, Sister Xing Hua. I’ll give it to you too!” Little Ah Yu picked up the gla.s.s of water and wanted to give it to Xing Hua.
Xing Hua shook her head. “Sister is not thirsty. Ah Yu, drink it yourself.”
“Xing Hua!” Madam Yang shouted from outside.
“Coming!” Xing Hua replied and lowered her head to Little Ah Yu. “When you’re done drinking, put the cup on the stool over there. I’ll come and collect it later.”
“Yes, yes, Ah Yu understands!”
After Xing Hua left, Little Ah Yu said to Meatball in her heart, “Can I give the water to Grandma? She’s Mother’s mother. She’s also sick-”
[Yes.]
Little Ah Yu was very surprised that the elf did not refuse her.
[Am I that unreasonable in your eyes? Your grandmother is quite good. When she recovers, she will treat you well in the future.]
Meatball knew how to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
The child’s grandmother did not have a terminal illness. It was just that her body was ill from a combination of other factors. After drinking the Myriad Spirit Water, her physique would improve, and she would not fall sick easily in the future.
If the illness continued to drag on, she might die.
In the world that the kid lived in, human lives were too fragile. They could be lost at any time.
“Elf, you’re the best!” Little Ah Yu wanted to go into the spatial pocket and hug the elf.
If not for the elf, she wouldn’t know what to do with many things!
[Alright, little bootlicker, quickly give the water to your grandmother.]
However, Little Ah Yu did not leave. Instead, she dragged a stool over with great effort and stood on it. She removed the lid of the kettle and poured the water into it.
She poured out about half a cup of Myriad Spirit Water.
Meatball shouted repeatedly: [Enough, enough! Stop pouring!]
This brat was really pushing her luck.
She still remembered that she only needed one drop of water to save Zhang Zhan!
The vitality recovery ability of the Myriad Spirit Water was very powerful. As long as the person was not dead, even if he was bleeding all over and only had one breath remaining, a single drop was actually enough to save his life.
“The water is sweet and delicious.” Little Ah Yu smiled until her eyes narrowed. She wanted her brothers and sisters to drink the sweet water too.
When Little Ah Yu was in the w.a.n.g Family, she had often done this these few days. The water vats at home were filled with the Myriad Spirit Water she had poured.
The w.a.n.g family felt that the food recently was especially delicious, but they did not know that it was because of the water.
Because Little Ah Yu did not say anything!
After pouring the water, Little Ah Yu held the cup and went to look for Qin Shi.
There were also a few spoonfuls of Myriad Spirit Water in the cup. It was even richer than the water in the kettle.
Qin Shi had just found the item. It was a jade bracelet of poor quality. It was very thin.
She stuffed the jade bracelet into Liu Shi’s hands in front of her son and daughter-in-law. “Don’t say no. Your grandmother left this for me. There are a total of five. Your two sisters and sister-in-law have one each. I didn’t give you this before. Don’t reject it.”
Liu Shi really wanted to reject it.
“Mother-”
“This thing is just a memento. It’s not worth much,” Qin Shi said. “It’s fine if you don’t want it. When I’m gone one day, don’t blame me for not giving you any memento.”
“Mother, what are you saying!” Liu Shi’s expression changed drastically. “Is your body not well?”
Qin Shi was about to say something when Little Ah Yu came in with a gla.s.s of water. Everyone stopped talking.
“Grandma, drink some water!” Little Ah Yu crossed the threshold and smiled brightly.
Qin Shi originally did not want to drink anything, but when she saw her obedient granddaughter bringing her water, her heart softened.
“Alright, Grandma will drink our Little Ah Yu’s water. Ah Yu is so obedient!” Qin Shi took the cup of water over. She originally only wanted to take a sip as a token of appreciation.
Unexpectedly, the water was a little sweet.
“This water?” Qin Shi was a little puzzled. She looked into the cup and looked at Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu still looked innocent as she waited expectantly for Qin Shi to finish drinking.
“The water Ah Yu brought Grandma is so sweet!” Qin Shi felt that she was hallucinating and could only say this with a smile.
When Liu Shi heard this, she suddenly looked at Little Ah Yu and immediately understood something.
However, she did not say anything and only smiled obsequiously. “Mother, Ah Yu is very filial. She often serves water to our family at home. Her brothers at home say that the water she serves is even sweeter! She doesn’t often serve the water. Try it carefully. Isn’t it especially sweet?”
Qin Shi didn’t think much of it and smiled as she finished her gla.s.s of water.
When Goudan and the others heard this, their eyes darted around and they hurriedly ran to bring the kettle over.
They picked up a new cup for Little Ah Yu. “Sister Ah Yu, pour water for us too. I want to try it if it’s sweet!”
Little Ah Yu nodded. “Alright.”
Of course it was sweet.
The few of them clicked their tongues in wonder.
Seeing the children say this, the adults were a little puzzled, so they all drank a cup and realized that it was indeed sweet.
Although it was not particularly obvious to them, who did not have much sugar at home, this taste was very easy to differentiate.
Old Liu originally did not want to drink. When he saw Little Ah Yu looking at him eagerly and chattering, he also drank a gla.s.s.
In the end, he was the only one who drank three gla.s.ses of water.
After Little Ah Yu gave them the water, Liu Shi put away the jade bracelet. Only then did the family of three finally leave the Liu family.
Goudan and the others wanted to send them off, but they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in their stomachs and ran away while holding their stomachs.
The adults also felt uncomfortable in their stomachs.
When the person from the Wu family came again, he only saw Old Liu kicking open the door of the pigpen. He was extremely angry.
“c.r.a.pping again! A lazy donkey sure has a lot of feces and urine! Liu Dashi, get out of my way!”
