Chapter 8 Ungrateful
Then, she carefully wrapped the rest of her clothes in a clean sheet.
After the wooden box was emptied, Qiao Wanyin inadvertently caught a glimpse of a blue jade ring lying quietly in a corner.
It was a jade ring with exquisite craftsmanship and a warm, lustrous color.
She vaguely remembered that this jade ring was a precious relic left by the original owner's maternal grandmother.
The wooden box was quite deep, making it difficult to retrieve the jade ring.
She leaned down slightly, trying to reach for the ring.
"hiss--"
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, her finger accidentally touched a small nail hidden at the bottom of the wooden box.
A sharp pain suddenly shot through my index finger.
Immediately afterwards, blood flowed down the wound, dripping onto the bottom of the wooden box.
She instinctively covered her injured finger.
Bright red blood stained the jade ring held in her hand.
The pain made her frown.
But strangely, the jade ring was stained with blood.
Immediately afterwards—
Qiao Wanyin's eyes suddenly lit up.
The whole world seemed to lose its balance and began to spin.
Everything around me became blurry.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Then everything gradually became clear again.
When she opened her eyes again,
All around was a lush green meadow, verdant forests, and the sounds of birdsong—a truly natural landscape.
The sky was azure, the sun shone brightly, and distant green mountains stretched endlessly.
Nearby is a babbling brook.
A faint fragrance of flowers and herbs filled the air.
A strange excitement welled up in Qiao Wanyin's heart.
She walked to the spring without even realizing it.
The spring water was clear, transparent, and crystal clear.
She stretched out her bleeding finger and gently dipped it in the spring water.
The wound healed instantly!
She opened her eyes wide in surprise.
This is simply a miracle! Hahaha!!
She was so excited she almost jumped up.
She understood that this was her own space, the Spirit Spring Space!
"Space! Spiritual Spring!"
She cheered.
As a long-time reader of Seven Cats' novels, she immediately understood what was going on.
In this era of scarcity, when you needed ration coupons to buy anything.
Having this space means no longer suffering from hunger.
Not only can they have warm clothes to wear, but they can also use the power of this space to get rich and achieve a turnaround in their lives.
Qiao Wanyin was so excited she wanted to cry, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the beautiful scenery before her.
Waaaaah~
Great! I have a cheat code now!
She was determined to make good use of this space.
There is also a simple thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.
The area was overgrown with weeds, making it look somewhat desolate.
Qiao Wanyin followed the spiritual spring slowly to the front of the thatched hut. After hesitating for a moment, she gently pushed open the creaking door.
A supermarket suddenly appeared before my eyes.
It was filled with all sorts of goods.
All kinds of food, clothing and even electronic products are available.
Qiao Wanyin blinked her bright eyes, looking at the scene before her in disbelief.
This space is actually connected to a modern-day supermarket?
This is incredible!
How could such a thing happen?
As I was thinking, another price list popped into my mind.
The exchange rate table is clearly listed above.
[Spirit Spring Space Exchange Price List]
Medicinal herbs can be exchanged for rice.
Rare medicinal herbs can be exchanged for pork.
Pheasants can be exchanged for mutton and beef.
You can earn two cents for each good deed you do.
......
Qiao Wanyin took a deep breath, her heart pounding wildly.
Suddenly, a large opportunity to exchange for resources has presented itself!
In the past, my boss made many empty promises while I was working, but these promises were never kept.
In this lifetime, there are no false promises, only real and tangible benefits right in front of you!
She rolled up her sleeves, determined to start working hard.
Paying off the debts as soon as possible and ensuring the family has enough to eat and wear is the most important thing.
With that thought in mind, she exited the Spirit Spring Space.
Picking up the things she had just tidied up, she resolutely walked out of the east room.
The three women were still chatting amongst themselves in the yard, completely unaware of Qiao Wanyin's arrival.
Upon seeing her come out, the women immediately shut their mouths.
When Liu Suqin, the second sister-in-law, saw her sister-in-law carrying a large bag wrapped in a bed sheet, her eyes lit up.
Suddenly, she thought of the box of beautiful clothes she had always longed for.
Thinking of those clothes, a bittersweet feeling welled up inside her.
She once tried to take two pieces of clothing out of that box and wear them.
As a result, she was severely scolded by her husband, who said she shouldn't have been greedy.
Thinking of this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
snort!
I knew people wouldn't change easily.
If he really changed his mind, how could he bear to leave all these nice clothes for his sisters-in-law to wear?
However, Qiao Wanyin ignored the mixed looks from her sisters-in-law and placed the pile of clothes directly on the stone table.
When she turned around, a faint smile was on her lips.
"Sisters, take a look at these clothes. If you like them, let's share them!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Suqin could hardly believe her ears.
Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
What exactly happened?
Could it be that my sister-in-law can really read minds and hear what's going on in my mind?
Qiao Wanyin ignored the obvious surprise on her second sister-in-law's face.
"Sisters-in-law, I was so immature before, and I did a lot of things that made you angry. But now I understand, and I will gradually correct my mistakes in the future. Please forgive me."
After saying that, she turned to her sister-in-law Zhou Chun Chun, who had been standing to the side, and said, "Sister-in-law, could you please take the children to tidy up the east room? We'll come over to help once we've taken care of things here."
"What...what are you planning?"
Zhou Chun Chun asked.
"I don't believe you would become so kind."
Normally, she always appears gentle and honest.
If it weren't for the fact that her sister-in-law had almost sold their child, Zhou Chun Chun wouldn't have harbored such deep resentment towards her.
When she first married into the Qiao family, her sister-in-law made a ruckus all day long, disrupting the peace of the household.
But she always thought her sister-in-law was too young to understand anything, so she didn't hold it against her.
In order to elope with her lover, the sister-in-law heartlessly sold her two children to human traffickers.
Qiao Wanyin understood that changing her family's opinion of her was not something that could be accomplished in a few days.
Explanations will only lead to more misunderstandings.
She pursed her lips and spoke in a gentle voice.
"I'll go pack first, you can open the packages and pick something out!"
After saying these words, Qiao Wanyin slowly turned around and walked into the west room.
The three sisters-in-law looked at each other in bewilderment.
They thought their sister-in-law was really strange today!
Normally, she would have yelled at them, accusing them of being stingy and ungrateful.
But today, she didn't say a single word of reproach.
They just left like that.
He's really gone!
Qiao Wanyin went into the west room.
The furnishings inside were much more shabby than the east room where the original owner had lived.
Besides a dilapidated earthen bed, there was only a table with one leg missing and two simple low stools.
