In the room, Shen Ningsi felt very uncomfortable. She realized where the water she used yesterday came from. No wonder the brothers Xiuwen and Xiuwu were both injured.
Seeing Gu Yun'er panicking, she patted her shoulder soothingly and said softly, "Just stay here and accompany your brothers and sisters."
"mother!"
Gu Yuner nervously grabbed her sleeve, full of fear and panic.
"fine."
Giving her a soothing look, Shen Ningsi walked out with great effort. Seeing no less than ten men standing outside the yard, she was also trembling in her heart. These people were holding axes and sticks in their hands. If they came over, they would be dead.
She coughed weakly and said, "I'm sorry, folks. Yesterday was an emergency, and I didn't expect the child to do such a thing. It's my fault. I'm very grateful for your help, folks. Even if you can't, it's our due in this natural disaster. Don't worry, I'll find a way to get the water I owe you."
"That's easy to say, but is this water that easy to find? My brother waited from early yesterday morning until sunset to find it. I haven't even touched it yet! That little bastard Gu Xiuwu snatched it away."
"And Gu Xiuwen! He usually calls them uncle and aunt nicely, but when it comes to grabbing things, he's ruthless!"
"You can't even give your life to fill up this water!"
Shen Ningsi felt very uncomfortable. What happened yesterday was too sudden and many things were in chaos. Now that she had calmed down, she knew that what these people said was right.
But she is a high-end talent in the 22nd century after all. Even if there is no water, she has to create some!
She looked at them, a determined look in her eyes. She said, "I know you don't believe me. My home is right here. I swear to you: within three days, I will return all the water to you, and I will also give you three bowls of water as interest."
"These days, a bowl of water a day can save a life. It will do you no harm."
Shen Ningsi looked calm and confident.
One of the villagers shouted, "Why should I believe you?"
"You may not believe me, but I can't get any water right now. You won't get anything here. But if you're willing to wait three days, you can get some water. Even if you don't, we're here, and you can do whatever you want with us."
That’s true!
We are all from the same village, and Shen Ningsi had just given birth and was weak. Could she run away?
"I think it's feasible. If she can't produce water, then I'll use her cub as compensation! A newborn baby is so fresh and tender!"
Ana Shen’s face darkened, and he glanced over coldly, wishing he could kill the man who had just spoken.
Damn it, he actually wanted to take advantage of her child?
The leading man was a little hesitant. They were all from the same village. When Gu Hong got married, he had even come to their wedding banquet! If this incident hadn't happened this time, he wouldn't have brought so many people here.
"Sister-in-law Shen, I've watched the two boys of the Gu family grow up. I trust you once, just to give your Gu Hong face. But if I can't see water in three days, don't blame me for being rude. Every household in this family is in trouble!"
"I understand."
Shen Ningsi's face warmed slightly. He also found his existence from his memory.
Wang Er, it was said, had been Gu Hong's henchman since childhood, even attending their wedding. When Gu Hong was drafted, he happened to be away, allowing him to escape unscathed. He also helped his family when the drought first struck. The Gu brothers, on the other hand, were known for their cowardice, even going so far as to steal water from his father's childhood friend.
Shen Ningsi smiled and said, “Brother Wang, on behalf of my family’s Gu Hong, I would like to thank you for saving my life.”
Wang Er felt a little embarrassed. He had been following Gu Hong since he was a child. He was obviously a landlubber, but he loved to swim. He didn't know how many times Gu Hong had saved his life. Now, it was just a basin of water, but she was calling it a life-saving favor?
"Let's go!"
Wang Er was about to tell everyone to leave when he saw the man who had just started to make advances on the child approach him with a sly look in his eyes. He said, "Brother Wang Er, are you stupid? Even if you really believed this woman, how can you not have some collateral?"
Wang Er's face darkened as he warned, "Haozi, they're Hong Ge'er's family. He's not here now, how can I keep making things difficult for him?"
That guy has been drafted into the army for over half a year. Who knows if he's still alive?
The man called "Mouse" didn't take it seriously and whispered, "I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. After all, the water wasn't thrown away by my family. I'm just being unfair to you, isn't it? Brother Wang, I heard that pregnant women who have just given birth all have placenta. It's a very tonic. I wonder how many pharmacies are vying for it!"
"Nowadays, every household has no water. Can such a weak family like them really find water?"
Hearing this, Wang Er fell into confusion again.
Haozi continued, "Asking her to hand over the purple river cart is like giving you some compensation, so why not? Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your family. How long has it been since they've had meat? If all else fails, you can go to the shop and exchange it for some food!"
Wang Er finally felt moved. He looked up at Shen Ningsi and said, "Sister-in-law, I can trust you, but my family may not. Why don't you hand over the purple river placenta? Whether you can get the water or not in three days, I can shut up my family."
Shen Ningsi's face turned black. She secretly clenched her fists and coldly memorized the appearance of the rat in her mind. She saw clearly what happened just now. This rat is not a good thing!
But the situation was stronger than she thought. She took a deep breath and said, "Placenta, I can give it to you."
Ziheche is the placenta of pregnant women. Children don't understand it, and she has never thought about it. But she didn't expect that this disgusting person is everywhere.
After finally getting rid of this group of people, before Shen Ningsi had time to catch his breath, he saw two people rushing in from outside. They were Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu.
The two men looked quite embarrassed, and there was even a bloody mark on Gu Xiuwu's forehead.
She was startled and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? How did you two get into this situation?"
"Those bastard clerks stole my things!" Gu Xiuwu's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he was gritting his teeth.
Gu Xiuwen calmly pulled out a bag from his waist and said, "When we took the bandit to the government office, we ran into a senior official. He had someone give us a bag of grain and some silver, but the clerk who was handling the matter withheld half of it. Xiuwu was so angry that he rushed over to argue with them, but he got beaten up instead. I saw a lot of people surrounding us, so I had to drag him away first."
"You did the right thing. Xiuwu, on the other hand, was foolish and impulsive for insisting on doing something he knew was wrong."
Hearing this, Gu Xiuwu glared at Shen Ningsi fiercely and said angrily: “They stole my things!”
"Yes, they can not only rob you of your things, but also take your life!"
Shen Ningsi's face darkened. How old was he? A child of seven or eight years old, rushing up to fight with a group of people who were used to doing rough work, was simply overestimating his own abilities!
