Chapter 122 [Innate Divine Power]
The younger sister of the Wen family is seven years old this year. Unlike her older sister who is not good at speaking, the younger sister Wen is a smart little girl.
She heard some of the conversation between her elder sister Jiang Lili and her uncle in a daze on the hospital bed. The voices of her uncle and aunt were really loud.
Seeing her uncle and aunt, Wen Xiaomei took the initiative to greet them: "Uncle, I know you care about me as if I were your own daughter. Now, thanks to the medicine prescribed by this sister, my fever has subsided quickly."
"Shouldn't all of us in the Wen family thank this sister?"
"Of course." Wen Kang rubbed his hands, his face flushed red, and cursed the damn girl for holding a grudge. "Thank you, shopkeeper, for saving my niece."
"Look, she recovered so quickly. There must be a witch blessing our little sister Wen."
Li was still being stubborn and didn't dare to look at Jiang Lili and the others when she said this.
Jiang Lili casually asked, "That talisman water is so effective, you must still have some of it, right? I saw a boatman get heatstroke at 3 p.m., why didn't you take it out?"
Li looked embarrassed. She had made the talisman paper and water herself. Wen Qiao used to believe in these things, so she tried the same trick again this time, but failed and collapsed.
"Come, come, dinner is ready, come and serve the food!"
At this time, the cook's shout from a distance broke the awkward atmosphere.
Wen Kang quickly said to Jiang Lili, "Boss, let's go have dinner. We've been sailing on the sea all day. Are you hungry?"
After saying this, he pulled Li away as if escaping.
Jiang Lili chuckled and pulled Wen Xiaomei towards the area where dinner was distributed, but found that Wen Xiaomei walked as slowly as a turtle, as if she was reluctant to eat.
Jiang Lili touched Wen Xiaomei's forehead with the back of her hand. The fever was not so severe anymore. She had just heard her stomach growling, so she shouldn't have lost her appetite.
"Little girl, you are not active in eating. There is something wrong with your thinking."
Wen Xiaomei sighed maturely, like a little adult: "You'll know after you eat. It's my mother who made dinner tonight."
"My mother's cooking... well, it can't be said to be poisonous."
It seems that Wen Xiaomei's mother's cooking skills are not very good, but we still have to eat.
"Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you are sick, you need to replenish your body with energy so that you can get better quickly."
Jiang Lili saw Xin Che, Xin Yan, and Master Liao walking towards the place where the food was served in the distance. She rolled her eyes and whispered to Wen Xiaomei, "Hurry up and eat. While you're eating, I'll introduce you to a lot of new friends, okay?"
"real?"
Wen Xiaomei's eyes lit up.
Ever since her father lost money in business and sold his property a year ago, the four of them have been living on a boat, and she has lost contact with her former playmates.
Although she had her older sister by her side, she was more than ten years older than her, and she had always longed to play with friends of the same age.
"Come on, come on, excuse me, the seafood porridge is here!"
The cook's loud voice rang out, and everyone made way for her. Then Jiang Lili saw the next scene and opened her eyes wide.
I saw the cook carrying a large wooden barrel about half a person's height in one hand and walking briskly to the area where the rice was served.
The cook's biceps were faintly visible beneath her clothes.
These were two large wooden barrels filled with porridge. The cook lifted them as easily as if they were two bags of cabbage.
Seeing Jiang Lili was stunned, Wen Xiaomei pointed at the cook and introduced her cheerfully, "That's my mother. She's the third child in the family. Everyone calls her Su Sanniang."
"She's known for her strength. My sister and I both inherited this trait from our mother."
After Wen Xiaomei finished speaking, she put her arms around Jiang Lili and made a lifting motion. Jiang Lili found that her toes were off the ground and she was really lifted up by Wen Xiaomei.
Jiang Lili exclaimed: "Wow, you mother and daughter are so amazing!"
Wen Xiaomei was very happy to hear Jiang Lili's sincere praise. Then she fell into deep thought and asked Jiang Lili, "Sister, don't you think being strong is rude?"
"I heard someone secretly say that the three of us, mother and daughter, are so strong and eat so much, we are too rough."
Wen Xiaomei spoke of this with a serious look on her face.
"They also said that my sister and I would have a hard time getting married and that no man would be interested in wild women like us."
Jiang Lili frowned when she heard this. The person who said these words was really disgusting.
"Being strong is a good thing. You can help your mother with the heavy work and protect yourself."
Jiang Lili patiently coaxed: "Think about it, only the enemy would want you to be weak and vulnerable, easily defeated and controlled."
"If you're too strong, they can't do anything bad to you."
When Wen Xiaomei heard Jiang Lili's words, her eyes widened and she suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.
Jiang Lili looked seriously into Wen Xiaomei's black grape-like eyes: "Little girl, someone who truly loves you will accept everything about you and appreciate your unique qualities."
"A woman's life isn't just about getting married."
Jiang Lili gently stroked Wen Xiaomei's hair and said, "Also, don't use other people's opinions to determine your own worth. You are a gem in your own right."
Jiang Lili thought about how she had been exercising for so long along the way before she finally got out of the weak state of being out of breath after running. Other children are born with supernatural powers. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
"Look at how strong you are. It's so rare. If I want to have your strength, I have to train hard."
After hearing what Jiang Lili said, Wen Xiaomei regained her previous lively and cheerful self: "Sister, you are right!"
"What I want to do now is to own a large fleet, make a lot of money, and make my mother and sister less tired."
"Marriage is still a long way from me, and I think the head of the He family is looking for a son-in-law. If no one marries me in the future, I will also find one."
Jiang Lili and Wen Xiaomei were whispering, "Let me tell you, I know another sister whose husband was a kidnapped husband."
"Wow, is she the village chief? Does she manage a lot of people?"
Wen Xiaomei and Jiang Lili were whispering to each other, and Su Sanniang saw the harmonious scene of the two getting along, and she was very happy.
She took out the seafood porridge she had specially reserved for Jiang Lili from the kitchen and walked up to Jiang Lili: "You must be Miss Jiang, right? I heard from Aqiao that it was you who helped my younger sister get rid of her fever."
"This is the seafood porridge I specially reserved for you. It's especially rich in shrimp and crab meat."
Jiang Lili took the porridge and saw the abundant layer of shrimp and crab meat on top of it. She truly felt the love from Su Sanniang: "You're welcome. Thank you very much."
Wen Xiaomei's illness had not fully recovered yet, so she could not drink seafood porridge. Su Sanniang gave her a food called rice balls that Wen Qiao had developed.
The rice and dried meat are kneaded into a ball and wrapped with seaweed. It is very convenient to carry and is suitable for taking to the sea.
Wen Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was eating a rice ball.
Then she looked at Jiang Lili who was taking her first bite of seafood porridge, and was looking forward to Jiang Lili's next reaction.
