Qin Li's heart was pounding. Seeing Su Wan reaching out to grab her bowl of water, she quickly pulled the bowl in front of her and held it in her arms.
She shouted, "You've already drunk it, so I want to switch with you."
Seeing Su Wan withdrawing her hand in dismay, Qin Li muttered to herself, wondering if this little bitch would really taste what she was doing.
Thinking of this, she put her nose close to the bowl of water in Su Wan's hand, pretended to pinch off her hair, and sniffed hard.
When she didn't smell anything, she felt relieved.
When Wang Meilan gave her the medicine, she had already told her that it was colorless and tasteless and that she would not feel anything when she drank it. Qin Li believed that her mother would definitely lie to her.
"You may be a little too accustomed to it because this is your first time drinking this kind of groundwater. It must taste very similar to filtered tap water. But groundwater is also very clean. The vast majority of us rural people have survived by drinking this kind of groundwater for generations. So feel free to drink it. It won't make you sick."
"Forget it, I'm still thirsty." Su Wan pouted and put the bowl in her hand on the table with an aggrieved expression.
Qin Li saw that he was in a hurry, so she quickly advised him kindly: "The movie will take several hours. What if you get thirsty during this time? It's quite far from here to the drying yard at the east end of the village. You can't even watch the movie if you run back and forth like this..."
"Yes, Lili is right. The weather is hot. If you drink some water, you will definitely be thirsty after a while. Wanwan, drink a few more sips."
Xu Guixiang walked in and happened to hear Qin Li persuading Su Wan to drink water, so she followed suit.
It was hot and the water evaporated quickly, so she was worried that drinking too much would cause her to urinate more.
"Mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, the movie is about to start, let's go quickly." Cao Xiaohua suddenly shouted from outside.
"Okay then." Su Wan pretended to be reluctant and picked up the bowl of water.
"Qin Li, I want you to drink with me. By the way, let's have a competition to see who finishes drinking first, okay?"
Seeing that she was willing to drink, Qin Li had no reason to agree. As long as Su Wan gave her the bowl of water to drink, she would not hesitate to let her drink water with her or even feed her.
When Su Wan heard that Qin Li was willing to compete with her in drinking water, she immediately excitedly asked Qin Li to pick up the bowl of water first.
"One, two, three, go."
After Su Wan finished shouting, she put her mouth to the edge of the bowl and started to drink it up.
While drinking, she stole glances at Qin Li.
After seeing Qin Li finish the bowl of water in one breath, she also quickly gulped down the rest of the water.
After drinking, Su Wan rubbed her belly with one hand, "Qin Li, I feel really full, can you rub it?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to touch Qin Li's belly, but Qin Li slapped her away.
Only after she drinks all the water will she get used to her again.
At this time He Ailian was also outside urging them to get up.
"Sister-in-law, mother, let's go."
"Okay, let's go now."
Xu Guixiang responded. She had just seen Qin Li and Su Wan competing in drinking water like two children. She found it funny and gratified at the same time.
Qin Li got home in the afternoon. She was a little angry when she heard Su Wan coming back. But now it seems that the relationship between the two sisters is not as bad as she imagined.
As a mother, she has a lot of flesh and blood in her hands. One is her adopted daughter whom she raised with great care, and the other is her biological daughter who was taken away by mistake at birth. In her heart, of course, she hopes that the two of them can get along well, treat each other as real sisters, and help each other. That would be even better.
"Wanwan, Lili, let's go. Your grandma and the two aunts will be worried later."
"Okay." Su Wan and Qin Li both responded.
After the two ladies walked in, Xu Guixiang hurriedly closed and locked the door to the main room.
Old Mrs. Su, He Ailian, and Cao Xiaohua were all waiting for the three of them in the yard. When they saw them coming, they walked out together.
Just as she reached the gate, Qin Li suddenly groaned, "Grandma, Mom, Auntie, my stomach aches, I want to go to the toilet."
He Ailian had been waiting anxiously just now, and now she suddenly heard that Qin Li was going to the toilet again, and she was furious.
"You are such a lazy ass. We just went to watch a movie, and you were asked to work in the fields. Why are you doing this to me, girl?"
Under the cover of night, Qin Li glared at He Ailian unhappily.
This old woman never bullied her before, but now that she has returned to the city, she is still so polite to her.
But then she remembered that she still had important things to do later, so she couldn't help it.
"Auntie, I really want to go to the bathroom. You guys should go first and let Wanwan stay with me. I'll bring her to you later."
"That's fine, mother and sister-in-law, let's go first, and Wanwan will accompany us. The two girls are just right for company. Maybe it's boring for young people to follow us.
As soon as Cao Xiaohua finished speaking, He Ailian followed up, "Oh, let's go. They are both grown-up girls, it's really embarrassing."
Xu Guixiang still felt a little too relieved, and before she could say anything, she was pushed away from behind by He Ailian.
"Let's go, let's not waste time. You hold mom and I'll hold my third brother's wife. If we're any later, the movie will really start."
"Lili, bring Wanwan to find us later. You know, Sangou always grabs the spot right in the front." Xu Guixiang reminded her again.
"Yes, Mom, I know, don't worry, it's okay, I'll hold it." Qin Li said, holding her stomach and ran to the toilet.
"Big brother's wife, take the key to the door." Then he turned to Su Wan and said, "When you go out later, remember to lock the door to prevent thieves from getting in."
"Oh, grandma, I know, I will lock the door, you and mom can rest assured."
Having said that, Old Lady Su was still not too relieved. She stood in the yard and looked around before going out with the help of Xu Guixiang.
When we got to the front door, I reminded him again: "Remember to lock the door for me."
"I know, grandma." Su Wan had no choice but to respond.
After they had all left for a long time, Qin Li came out of the toilet.
Su Wan knew that Qin Li was deliberately delaying time. She wanted to wait for the effect of the medicine in her body to take effect. It was ridiculous that she still knew that the medicine was drunk by her and it only took effect on her.
Qin Li, Qin Li, the old man you are looking for should have been waiting for you in the cornfield. Just wait and enjoy yourself tonight.
Su Wan was just thinking about it when a sudden noise came from Lao Lu's house next door, pulling her out of her thoughts.
