After breakfast, the three Lin brothers went out arm in arm.
Lin Chaonan ignored Lin Chaobei's pleading gaze and went straight to the back mountain.
Lin Chaobei was then dragged by the neck by Lin Chaodong to a remote mountain valley, the very place where Yue Jiuyue had discovered the sweet potatoes, and there began to give her younger brother a loving education.
This was a secret known only to the four brothers; it was a secret among them. Neither the original owner's mother nor Liu, Lin Chaodong's wife, knew about it.
(︶.?︶?)
The silt in the ancient well has been cleared away, and what used to look like a lot of water is now reduced to just a little bit at the bottom. But no one is discouraged. They gather around the well and wait for the water level to rise slowly.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the water in the well remained unchanged.
Perhaps the time was too short.
Half an hour has passed, and the water in the well seems to have decreased.
Maybe they're seeing things?
An hour has passed, and there's still no water in the well.
Could it really not be a miracle from our ancestors?
Why did water suddenly appear in this ancient well?
"Tell me! Is this water from the well the urine of you little brats?!"
Some short-tempered parents would grab their unruly children, slap them a few times, and then angrily ask them questions.
"Wow! Waaah! I really didn't put water into the well. It just suddenly had water. If you don't believe me, Dad, ask Gou Dan and the others."
The child burst into tears and, to prove his point, even brought out his friends to testify for him.
"Dog Egg, did you put water into the well? Don't lie!"
"Dog Egg's father asked with a dark face."
“Dad, I didn’t put water into the well. Didn’t you say that good things shouldn’t go to outsiders? I only put water into the well when I come home.”
Everyone: (#-.-)
I'm speechless.
Surely it's not that bad? What if you can't hold it in anymore?
However, those who went down into the well to dig out the silt did not smell any urine.
"Then, where does the water from this ancient well come from?"
The villagers gathered there were completely baffled.
Seeing that the ancient well had dried up completely, without a trace of water, and with the sun overhead becoming increasingly scorching, the villagers, feeling hot and irritable, decided not to wait any longer and left one after another, grumbling and cursing.
During the hottest part of the day, Yue Jiuyue went out, heading straight for the ancient well.
With no one around, Yue Jiuyue wiped the sweat from her forehead, stepped onto the well platform, and peered into the well. Sure enough, the silt inside had been cleaned up. After a few more rinses to remove the remaining silt from the well walls, she could start filling the well with water.
Thinking that she would no longer be able to sleep in late, or even get a full night's sleep, Yue Jiuyue immediately shuffled home on her slender legs. Once back in her room, she lay down on the bed, determined to get all the sleep she needed for the day.
After coaxing Xiaoman to sleep, Liu also dozed off for a while. When she woke up, she heard noises outside. She got out of bed, went to the door, and saw that her mother-in-law had returned.
It was the hottest time of day, and her mother-in-law was usually sleeping. Why was she just back from outside today?
Then she thought about how her mother-in-law was acting very differently this morning. Xiaoman's father and the others had returned from the ancestral hall, but her mother-in-law was still asleep. She felt that her mother-in-law was hiding something from them.
