With the cement pipes removed, Yue Jiuyue naturally kept an eye on the situation at the ancient well. Seeing a group of people digging something there and then leaving in a flurry, Yue Jiuyue felt things were about to go wrong.
Whatever the reason, they haven't suspected her yet, but if they continue to make trouble, the long trench in the pipe will definitely be exposed!
The pipes led directly to the outside of her room, which meant she was exposed.
Yue Jiuyue really didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.
She quietly went out and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, quickly poured several buckets of water into the well. Afraid of being seen, and not caring that the water level was much lower than usual, she ran home in a flash.
Once inside the wall, Yue Jiuyue gasped for breath, clutching her chest.
Oh my god! She was so scared! She was afraid that someone might suddenly appear and discover her. She would rather stay at home and wait to be discovered, at least she could have some peace and quiet for a while.
As Yue Jiuyue walked towards the courtyard, she pondered the location of the cement pipes inside the wall, wondering when she could tidy them up again, at least to make them more sturdy.
"Mom, where have you been so early in the morning? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"
As soon as Liu saw Yue Jiuyue enter from outside, she immediately began setting out the table, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks.
"Oh, I heard a commotion coming from the ancient well, so I wanted to go see what was going on. But when I got there, there was no one there, so I came back."
She was telling the absolute truth, only omitting a little bit in the middle.
"Huh? Is the water out again?"
Liu couldn't think of anything else besides the lack of water that was worth arguing about.
"Yes, there's no water. But I saw a big pit dug out next to the old well. I don't know what they were trying to dig, but the pit was dug neatly and squarely."
Except for the three words "there is no water" that Yue Jiuyue said, Liu Shi did not hear anything else.
"What? There's really no water left?"
If there's no water, how will we survive?
However, she suddenly remembered that there was a small pond behind the east hall, from which at least a bucket of water could be scooped out every day.
Although she didn't know where the water came from, at least she wouldn't have to worry about dying of thirst anymore, so she felt relieved.
"Yes, there's no water again."
Yue Jiuyue looked somewhat dejected. Liu Shi, unable to bear seeing her mother-in-law so upset, immediately whispered a word of comfort:
"Mom, don't worry, we won't run out of water. Have you forgotten? There's a little puddle behind your house!"
Yue Jiuyue: ?('?ะด?')?
No way! She doesn't want to drink her own bathwater!
Or, to avoid Liu Shi going so far as to make her drink her bathwater one day, should she change where she pours her bathwater?
As Yue Jiuyue was pondering where to dispose of her bathwater, she saw Lin Chaonan emerge from the outhouse. After washing his hands, he said to Yue Jiuyue:
"Mother, I'm going to check on the fourth son."
Yue Jiuyue nodded subconsciously. Of the whole family, only the fourth brother was lively and seemed unreliable, always making people worry that he would cause some trouble.
Not long after, Lin Chaonan came running back, panting, and said to Lin Chaodong:
"Big brother! Quick! There's water in the well!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Lin Chaodong and ran off with the two buckets.
This time, even Madam Liu couldn't sit still anymore.
"Mom, let's go, let's take the basin and go too. Who knows if there will be any water tomorrow? We need to bring as much as we can home!"
