Knowing that this child was unusual, Su Ying had no choice but to take Xiao Bao's words to heart.
Suddenly, she tugged at Gu Sinian's arm, signaling him to stop the car.
The man didn't ask Su Ying why she suddenly wanted to stop the car; she always had her own opinions on how to do things.
The fact that he was suddenly asked to stop the car means something must have happened.
After parking the car, Gu Sinian turned to look at Su Ying and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Su Ying opened the back door first and got out of the car. Gu Sinian followed closely behind, opening the driver's side door and getting out, moving closer to Su Ying.
"What's going on? We can't talk about it in the car. Getting out of the car all of a sudden makes it seem mysterious."
Su Ying glanced at the military green jeep that was a short distance away from them, a safe distance.
Children are very perceptive; they understand everything you say and are smarter than adults imagine.
Su Ying pulled the person aside and began to talk about her experiences in Qingshuihe over the past month, as well as the things about Xiao Bao.
"Actually, just as the captain said, our daughter is not a jinx, nor does she have a jinxed mouth; rather, she can predict the future."
“Children are young and will say whatever they see. The villagers of Qingshuihe thought Xiaobao was a jinx. Whatever she said in advance would come true soon. That’s where her reputation for being a jinx came from.”
"We talked to the brigade leader of Qingshuihe. He didn't believe that Xiaobao was a jinx, but a lucky star. Three days before a month ago, Xiaobao suddenly told everyone he met that there would be a mudslide and the ground would crack."
“Everyone simply cuts off contact with Xiaobao and doesn’t want to see her anymore, treating her like a jinx.”
"Whenever the captain saw danger, he would urge everyone to prepare, but no one believed him. The captain listened to Xiao Bao's words and, based on his many experiences, believed that Xiao Bao could predict the future."
so……
Gu Sinian instantly understood what was going on, "That's why the Qingshui River suffered such heavy losses in just one month, with even the most important grain not being buried."
"Only the brigade leader listened to Xiao Bao's words and went into the back mountain to hide. He also took all the food and valuables with him, so the brigade leader's family is still the most well-off family."
Su Ying nodded. "The brigade leader warned me that Xiao Bao is a good child. If one day I suddenly hear her say something that is not appropriate for her age, I must take it seriously, or I will regret it very much."
"Many people in Qingshuihe still regard Xiaobao as a jinx, and have never thought that there is another possibility—that our daughter can predict the future."
Gu Sinian swallowed hard. He had lived for twenty-six years and had never heard of such a bizarre thing.
Predicting the future?
It's not like I'm a fortune teller.
How can one predict the future?
Why is he so skeptical?
Would a village chief really joke about something like this?
The mudslide and earthquake that struck Qingshui River more than a month ago left only the brigade leader's family completely unharmed, with no one injured and no property lost.
With such a real-life example, Gu Sinian had no choice but to believe that his daughter, whom he had just found, possessed some kind of special ability.
Is it that amazing?
His daughter is amazing!
I felt a strange sense of pride.
"Was what Xiaobao was muttering about in the car just now true?"
"It's probably true."
"Now we need to hurry to Yuxian Village to check on the fish the villagers are raising. There will be a flood and heavy rain soon, so we really need to catch the fish quickly, otherwise all the fish will be lost when the flood comes."
“There is no arable land in Yuxian Village. For generations, people have made a living by raising fish. When the flood comes, the villagers of Yuxian Village can only go hungry.”
With proper preparation, there will be no significant losses from floods.
"The fish need to be caught as soon as possible, but what to do with them after they're caught is also a problem."
"No matter how you try to sell the fish from an entire village, you can't do it that quickly."
Su Ying raised an eyebrow at Gu Sinian, "Have you forgotten about my space? My space can store hundreds of things, anything can be stored, and it's very spacious."
"But how could they possibly let you catch the fish and then put it back?"
"Then let's buy it."
Gu Sinian swallowed hard. "Why are we buying so many fish?"
"Eat!"
The man was embarrassed. Was his wife joking?
Did she even know how big Fish Village was, how many fish it could raise in a year, and buy them all...?
Gu Sinian believed his young wife had the financial means, but even if they had a fish feast every day, they couldn't possibly eat all the fish in the village.
The young wife's wealthy and domineering demeanor is quite cute, but also rather frightening.
"Don't joke around. How can a whole village eat all the fish? Even if we eat ten every day, we could live until our grandson is born."
The thought of eating fish every day made Gu Sinian's scalp tingle.
"Don't worry. We'll buy the fish; consider it a good deed."
"I'll sell them on the black market when I have some free time. Maybe I can make a lot of money."
The investigation has been very strict lately, and Gu Sinian dares not take the risk, fearing that he might implicate the already precarious Gu family.
"The higher-ups have been thoroughly investigating a lot of people recently, so we should be careful."
Su Ying didn't take these things seriously at all. They were just fish from a village, what was the big deal? She could deal with them after things calmed down. Anyway, she had plenty of space, so it wouldn't matter if they were kept for several years; they could be kept fresh.
"Then let's wait until the higher-ups relax their restrictions. Anyway, I have plenty of space, so it won't be a problem. I'll just consider it helping those fishermen and doing a good deed. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
"We bought up all the fish in Yuxian Village and reminded them to prepare for the flood in advance. This way, Yuxian Village will be safe and escape disaster. This is also good for our stationed soldiers. They will not have to deal with the flood and will be spared a lot of trouble."
"People can die while fighting floods. Consider it an act of kindness."
Gu Sinian suddenly understood and agreed with Su Ying's approach. "If you've thought it through, then do it. What does it matter if you eat fish every day from now on?"
They have experienced flood control many times. No matter how many people go on a mission, there are always a few missing when they return.
The young wife can decide for herself.
Isn't it just selling fish on the black market?
It's not like he's never done it before.
He's just going back to his old ways.
I'd risk my life to accompany you, my friend.
Su Ying smiled, pursing her lips. "So you agreed to go buy fish with me?"
“I agree. Anyway, my wife has some money. Even if she only spends a little bit, she can save so many lives. This is accumulating good fortune.”
Su Ying raised an eyebrow. "Let's go then."
"good."
When the two got back to the car, Xiao Bao suddenly slumped his head and said something without much energy.
"Beautiful aunties and handsome uncles, can you please save the villagers of Fish Fresh Village? They are so pitiful!"
