Chapter 47: A war caused by a tank of water



After dinner, Song Fuyu called Tong Youyou over to help her. She wanted to remove the gauze on her head.

The hair near the injured area was stained by the medicine and some of it was tangled and stuck, so I had to find someone to help me untangle it.

"Sister Fu Yu, when your head was broken, it must have been very painful, right?"

"It does hurt a little."

She recalled the scene when she was lying on the bed, especially the moment when she just came through. She felt as if her whole body was pulled forcefully and the pain was unbearable.

"Don't worry, I will be gentle and try not to pull your scalp."

"It's okay. Some places are probably tangled and I can't untie them because I don't have enough strength."

She knew what was happening above her head without even looking.

I haven't washed my hair for so many days. Even if I'm not injured, the condition won't be much better.

Tong Youyou fiddled with it for forty or fifty minutes before she completely let her hair down.

I took a mirror to look at the wound and saw that it had already scabbed over.

I can wash my hair today.

"Youyou, please go to my room and get me my thermos, and then open the cabinet and get me some shampoo. I'll go boil some water and wash my hair twice."

She had to do things like boiling water herself, after all, Mo Juan was sitting there.

She carried an empty bucket and came to the stove. Ye Feixue was not there at the moment, and only Mo Juan was standing by alone.

"Comrade Mo, it looks like your water is already boiled."

Song Fuyu took a closer look and saw that the water in the pot was already boiling and bubbling continuously.

Then he looked at the water tank again, and sure enough, there was only water left at the bottom of the tank.

"So what if it's done? Can't I keep it burning for a little longer?"

Ye Feixue was taking a shower at this time, and Mo Juan's bucket was also brought into the bathroom by her, so she had no extra bucket to scoop out the boiled water.

In order to have enough hot water for her bath later, Mo Juan added a ladle of cold water to the pot every once in a while.

"Oh, I see~"

"Sister Pan Yu, whose turn is it to fetch water today?"

Song Fuyu asked loudly to Pan Yu who was hanging clothes at the door.

She actually saw Pan Yu and Xia Lan taking turns fetching water this morning and filling up the entire water tank.

Although the well was not far from their Youth League Home, it was still two or three hundred meters away.

It was not an easy task for two girls to fill the water tank with full buckets.

"It's Xia Lan and I's turn to cook today, so we went to fetch water early in the morning."

"What's wrong?"

After saying that, Pan Yu walked towards the stove.

"Oh, that's it, that shouldn't be the case. If the tank is full, how come there is no water?"

"I just wanted to get some water to wash my hair, but I saw that there was no water in the tub, so I wanted to ask you."

"How is that possible! This morning we took turns going to the well and fetched ten buckets of water. I checked when I was washing clothes just now and there was still half a bucket left."

She obviously didn't believe that the water was gone so quickly, so she walked straight to the water tank.

You don't know until you see it. It's shocking to see that only the bottom of the tank is left.

"Where's the water? How come it's gone?"

She turned her head angrily, only to see Mo Juan sitting calmly by the stove, holding the ladle they usually used to fetch water from the water tank.

"Did you use it all up?"

Pan Yu yelled at Mo Juan.

"I saw you boiling water when I was taking a shower. Now I have finished washing my clothes and you are still boiling water. Are you using the water to make an elixir?"

"You used up all the water you didn't fetch yourself, and the firewood we picked up earlier. You've been burning it for so long that you've used up several days' worth of it!"

"First you used our kerosene lamps, and now you use water and firewood. Do you like taking advantage of everyone so much?!"

Pan Yu's voice was very loud. Except for Ye Feixue who was taking a shower in the bathroom, everyone else in the Youth League Home came out of their rooms and went to the kitchen when they heard the voice.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Pang Xiuli was the eldest among the girls. When she saw Pan Yu getting angry, she hurried forward to calm her down.

"Mo Juan has been sitting here boiling water for more than an hour, and she has used up all the water that Xia Lan and I filled up this morning."

"What? Just gone?"

Xia Lan was also a little surprised. When she was washing up just now, she was afraid that the water was gone, so she came over to take a look.

"We drew ten buckets of water this morning and the water tank was full. Now there is only the bottom of the tank left."

"She has been sitting here boiling water for over an hour. Our water and firewood can't handle her use!"

"I just used a little of your water. The water in the tank was originally for everyone to use. So what if I used a little more? Besides, it wasn't just me who used it. Feixue also used it."

Ye Feixue, who had just finished taking a shower in the bathroom, wanted to come out when she heard the voice, but when she heard Mo Juan say her name, she immediately stopped her hand that was about to open the door.

"Isn't it just a little use? You make it sound so easy!"

"We have to work every day, which is already tiring. When it's our turn to cook, we have to fetch water. If we all use it like you, how many buckets of water would we have to fetch from the well every day? How much firewood would we have to collect?"

"The way you're doing it, ten buckets of water would boil, not to mention one!"

"You just don't respect the fruits of our labor because you don't have to fetch water yourself."

Pan Yu was so angry that his eyes turned red and his body was shaking a little.

"Mo Juan, you are really going too far."

Pang Xiuli has been here for more than three years, so she knows how tiring it is to fetch water.

Girls have less strength to begin with, and the water in the bucket may spill out over a distance of two or three hundred meters, so they usually have to carry about ten buckets of water to fill the water tank.

They didn't want everyone to work so hard after work, so everyone would try to be frugal in the use of public supplies. After all, they would also have to take turns to fetch water and collect firewood.

Therefore, when Pang Xiuli heard that Mo Juan had used up all the water, she was a little dissatisfied. After all, she had not washed yet today and would need water later.

"Mo Juan may have just arrived at the Youth Hostel and doesn't understand the rules here."

"The water in the water tank has been used up today, so don't worry about it. The boys will go to the well and fetch two buckets of water each."

"You're all tired after a day's work. Hurry up and wash up and go to bed early."

When Cao Xiangshan saw that even Pang Xiuli, who was usually not very angry, had a little anger on her face, he quickly tried to smooth things over and offered a solution.

"Mo Juan, whether it's water or firewood, these public things are obtained by everyone after work and using their physical strength. I hope you will cherish them in the future."

"knew."

Having said that, the expression on his face was very long.

She did not realize her own problem, but instead looked at Song Fuyu, the "culprit" with anger. If she had not asked Pan Yu too many questions, how could she have suddenly been attacked by so many people!
