When Qin Jingru saw the cornbread, she went crazy, grabbing it and starting to gnaw on it, not caring at all even when she choked.
Soon, the three small steamed buns were gone. Qin Jingru, still feeling unsatisfied, looked at the empty plate and knew that this was her limit, so she had no choice but to give up.
However, although there was no more cornbread, there was plenty of hot water. After drinking three large bowls of hot water, Qin Jingru finally felt a little better.
"Sister, I really had a hard time today because of you. I had to walk all the way back to the city from my hometown."
Having just regained some energy, Qin Jingru began to complain.
"Ah~!" Qin Huairu asked in surprise, "Jingru, what happened? Did you manage to get the spiritual water?"
"Sister, don't worry, let me explain slowly to you."
Qin Jingru took another sip of hot water and then began to recount her experiences in the countryside.
Qin Huairu only showed a satisfied smile when she mentioned that she had obtained the spiritual water.
As for the suffering my cousin endured later?
She didn't care. As a rural person, what did it matter if she went hungry for a meal or two or walked a little further?
After Qin Jingru finished speaking, she took out the so-called spiritual water that could produce a son from her bag and handed it to Qin Huairu, as if presenting a treasure.
Qin Huairu carefully took the bottle, opened it to take a look, and then hid it in the cabinet, waiting to use it the next morning after bathing and burning incense at an auspicious time.
However, what she didn't know was that her action of hiding the bottle was seen clearly by Bangeng, who was lying in bed and not asleep.
In the middle of the night, Banggeng, who was getting up to urinate, suddenly remembered what Qin Huairu had hidden.
So he quietly opened the cabinet, took out the so-called spiritual water, opened the cap, and smelled it, finding nothing unusual.
At this age, hamsters are full of curiosity and know how to use their brains.
Since his mother was able to hide things here, it means there must be something good inside.
Without a second thought, he tilted his head back and drank all the spiritual water down his throat. After finishing, he smacked his lips, as if he wanted to taste what it was like.
However, Zhang Banxian only makes this stuff to swindle money; it can't possibly have any flavor, let alone add any sugar.
"What kind of garbage is this? Treating it like a treasure? Ugh!" After finishing it, Banggeng gave it a bad review.
After venting his frustrations, he prepared to put the bottle back, but he was afraid that Qin Huairu would find it the next morning.
What should we do then?
Actually, the best way at this time is to pour some water in, so that you can get away with it quietly.
But the brain circuit of the banggeng is different from that of ordinary people. Pouring water is too troublesome. I get up just to pee. Isn't this ready-made?
The thought of urinating immediately made Bang Geng feel an urge to urinate.
What happened next was quite natural: he not only filled the bottle, but also, due to the force of the impact, got his hands covered in urine.
However, these were all commonplace for Bang Geng. He casually wiped himself a few times, put the bottle back, and finally went back to bed to sleep.
What Bang Geng didn't know was that everything he did was seen by Xiao Dang, who had just woken up.
Because Xiao Dang is still young, he just thought his older brother was playing some game and didn't take it seriously, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
The next morning, after Banggeng went to school, Qin Jingru started boiling water in preparation for Qin Huairu to take a bath.
After the water was boiled, Qin Huairu began to take a bath. After the bath, the two of them mysteriously brought out their treasure and began to burn incense and pray.
Once everything was ready, Qin Huairu opened the bottle cap, preparing to enjoy the spiritual water.
After the bottle cap was opened, a strong smell of urine hit her head, and Qin Huairu frowned and asked in confusion.
"Hey! Jingru, why does this smell smell so strong today? I remember it didn't smell like this yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru immediately leaned closer, sniffed the air twice, and also sensed that the taste wasn't quite right.
"Sister, although this smells not very pleasant, could it be that our incense and prayers had an effect? Otherwise, how else can we explain it?"
After Qin Jingru's explanation, Qin Huairu felt that it made sense.
Since it's supposed to be spiritual water, it should at least look like spiritual water to fit its description. Otherwise, wouldn't I have wasted my 10 yuan?
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu did not hesitate and drank a bottle of spiritual water down her throat.
"Ugh... ugh...!"
"Sister, are you alright? You have to hold it in! You can't spit it out, otherwise the spiritual water will lose its effectiveness."
Seeing that Qin Huairu looked like she was about to vomit after drinking the spiritual water, Qin Jingru quickly stepped forward and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Upon hearing the words "spiritual water has failed," Qin Huairu knew this was unacceptable. She quickly suppressed her nausea, swallowing hard to try and calm the force of the attack.
At this moment, Xiao Dang, who was standing nearby, saw what her mother was doing, quickly pinched her nose, and said in a childish voice.
"Mommy, you're so shameful! You were secretly drinking my brother's pee! I'll never let you kiss me again! Pee is so smelly...!"
Xiao Dang's words did not attract Qin Jingru's attention, but after hearing them, Qin Huairu had a terrible thought in her mind.
Although she had never drunk urine before, she was familiar with this strange smell! No wonder it smelled so familiar just now, could it be a pungent plant...?
"Xiao Dang, Mom is asking you, did your brother touch this bottle?" Qin Huairu quickly pressed for an answer.
Xiao Dang is still too young to know what it means to hide something, and when her mother asked, she immediately nodded.
“Mom, last night when my brother got up to pee, he drank what was in this bottle, and then he filled the bottle with his own pee. Be good, Xiaodang, Xiaodang won’t steal pee to drink.”
"Ugh...!"
After hearing her daughter's words, Qin Huairu no longer needed to suppress her anger. Before she even reached the door, she started vomiting violently.
Seeing this, Qin Jingru quickly followed her out and gently patted Qin Huairu's back, hoping to make her feel more comfortable.
Qin Huairu suffered terribly at this point, vomiting until she even brought up her bile.
Half an hour later, Qin Jingru had cleaned up both the inside and outside of the house.
Qin Huairu had already finished vomiting and then washed up. Now she was sitting on the stool with a gloomy face, not saying a word.
"Sister, don't be like this. Banggeng is still a child. What can he understand? How about I go to the countryside to beg for you again?" Qin Jingru came over to comfort her after cleaning the house.
Actually, Qin Huairu wasn't concerned about drinking urine; she was more distressed about the money she had spent.
Now she has to spend money to beg again, which is simply killing her!
"Jingru, why don't you go again and ask Zhang Banxian if you can spend less money?"
"Ah~!" Qin Jingru asked in surprise, "Sister, you can even bargain about this kind of thing? What if your intentions aren't right, and the 'spiritual water' doesn't work? Who's to blame then?"
Qin Huairu couldn't find any fault with what she said.
Although it costs more money now, in the future, with many children and blessings, and a secure old age, it's all a win.
"Ouch!"
With this thought in mind, Qin Huairu sighed and helplessly took out another 10-yuan note for Qin Jingru, asking her to go to the countryside to help seek medicine.
This time, however, she was more careful and made sure Qin Jingru insisted on only 10 yuan, so she wouldn't lose the money for the train ticket.
