Chapter 11 Getting Water from the Mountain



When they opened the warehouse, they found that all the buckets were placed in one compartment, apparently they could be stacked. There was one compartment for the buckets, another for the silver and jewelry, and a third for the cakes.

There are still 97 squares left. If they can all be stacked, there will be more than 100, even 10 would be enough for her.

An Shuyi thought of her clansmen and said, "Huahua, the Lin clansmen will be with us tomorrow. I told them. I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand."

Xia Hua waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'll also inform my family. As for whether they leave or not, that's their business. I've already informed them, so it's only right that you inform the Lin clan."

"Are you carrying so many buckets to fill them with water? Come on, I'll go with you. I knew you meant well, but I'll help them if they ever have any difficulties in the future."

She knew that Shushu wasn't a kind person, but the Lin clan had helped the original owner of the body before, and now that her soul had been replaced by Shushu, Shushu naturally wanted to help them.

She would help them too, after all, the Xia family had received a lot of help from them before. Even though the original owner's family was not a member of the Lin clan, it must be said that the Lin clan members were really good. They were not only united, but they never asked for payment for helping any family that needed it. They didn't even ask for a bite of food.

An Shuyi didn't refuse, "Let's go then, while it's still early." However, she had to ask her children to inform the original owner's family first, as she hadn't thought of informing them beforehand.

Once outside, Xia Hua told her sons to quickly pack their things or she would beat them to death, and then she and An Shuyi went to the Lin family home.

Just as they reached the door, they saw the second and third brothers going to fetch water. "Second brother, go fetch water. Third brother, go to your eldest uncle's house and ask them if they want to leave with us. If they do, tell them to come here early tomorrow morning, or wait for us in the county town."

"Okay, Mom!" The third son happily put down the water bucket, now he didn't have to fetch water.

"Third brother, if I find out that you didn't inform your maternal grandfather, your eldest uncle, or went somewhere else, I'll chop you up. You can try me if you don't believe me."

"Mother, don't worry, your son won't do it!" After saying that, the third son quickly ran away.

"Huahua, let's go!" The two followed behind the second brother to fetch water. When they arrived at the place, it was already crowded with people, and they couldn't even squeeze in to fetch water. Even if they did manage to squeeze in, they couldn't just take out their buckets to fetch water.

"Shushu, let's go up with the current to fetch water!" Xia Hua whispered in her ear.

An Shuyi nodded, and the two of them quietly climbed up the mountain. The water flow was already small, and if they went up to collect it, the water wouldn't flow down. So the two of them could only climb higher.

It wasn't until they reached the halfway point of the mountain that they saw a small pond. The water was crystal clear, and water was flowing down from the cracks in the rocks above. However, it wasn't very big. An Shuyi took out a few buckets and placed them under the water to collect the water.

Xia Hua also bought two water ladles from the mall to fetch water. Although there was a mall where you could buy water, it was too expensive. Drinking water was okay to buy, but if you wanted to use it for washing, these free ones were better.

However, her warehouse was not big. She only bought twenty buckets and had to leave some space for other things. She would put the buckets into the warehouse as soon as they were full. This exhausted the two of them, since they were both still injured. If it weren't for the need to survive, they probably wouldn't have bothered to move.

Looking at the buckets of water being collected, An Shuyi leaned against a tree, exhausted. "Huahua, let those buckets collect the water and rest for a while." As she spoke, she brought up the trading system and took out the egg pancakes from it.

Huh, I didn't expect it to still be hot. I remember when Hua Hua gave it to me before, she put it in the warehouse. So much time has passed, and the pancake is still hot. I guess the warehouse can keep it warm.

"Huahua, come and eat something." It's already noon, and she didn't even finish the porridge she ate this morning, only a steamed bun. She's starving.

"You're here." Xia Hua walked over, sat down next to her, and took the pancake that she handed her and started eating it.

"Shushu, let me buy some more and put them in your warehouse. They're not sold in your trading system. I already have more than 10,000 yuan. I didn't expect this money to be so easy to make."

It turns out that her sons were the ones who really put in the effort; the more fiercely she beat them, the more people loved watching, and gifts poured in like crazy.

“Okay,” An Shuyi didn’t refuse. She just couldn’t stomach the gruel at home. Back in modern times, she only knew how to cook simple instant noodles and didn’t know how to cook anything else. After all, she had a nanny at home, so she didn’t need to learn these things.

As for Hua Hua, she's just like her—she can't cook either. Luckily, the two of them transmigrated into mothers-in-law; if they were daughters-in-law, how would they survive?

Xia Hua swallowed the egg pancake in one gulp, making a few quick taps in the air. Then the two of them gathered together and transferred all the items to An Shuyi's space.

She bought steamed buns, mantou, milk tea, potato chips, beef jerky, etc., which was enough for Shushu to eat for a month.

An Shuyi put all the food into the warehouse. These things took up fifteen slots, with one slot for each type of item, but there was a lot of stuff.

The warehouse was clearly laid out, and it was easy to see what she wanted at a glance. However, she couldn't rely on flowers forever. But the area was arid, and there were no wild vegetables. What could she sell?

This trading system is even worse than Hua Hua's! She can also livestream beating up her unfilial son at home, and she can even take turns beating him, or choose whoever she wants to beat.

She clicked on the "Sell" section, looked at the big "+" sign, and felt a bit annoyed. Then, seeing the thing flash and disappear, An Shuyi looked at the small tree next to her, put her hand on it, and sure enough, the "+" sign disappeared, turning into a rosewood sapling with "500 coins" written below.

Good heavens, these are actually saplings of rosewood. It's a pity she can't even afford to eat now, how can she have time to plant trees? But five hundred coins is a bit low, isn't it? In modern currency, it's only fifty yuan per tree.

"Shushu, what are you muttering about?" Xia Hua watched her moving around. It was one thing to point in the air, since she knew what she was doing, but she was also touching the sapling and muttering to herself.

"Huahua, this is actually a huanghuali (Chinese rosewood) sapling!" An Shuyi said excitedly to her.

Xia Hua touched her forehead. "You're not stupid, silly Shushu. Don't you know this is ancient times? There are many of these rosewood trees. If it's a mature rosewood tree, it might be worth some silver, but a sapling, how much is that worth?"

"But my trading system only accepts 500 coins. Should I sell it?" An Shuyi hesitated in her heart, wondering how she could know such things since she didn't understand these ancient practices.

"Sell!" Xia Hua pulled the tree out. "Sell it quickly. There are even more precious ones on this mountain. Let's go look for them later and sell more."

Although this is a fictional world, the trees are all pretty much the same. Since they don't expect to make money by planting trees, they naturally sell these saplings.

An Shuyi took the sapling, clicked "sell," and the sapling disappeared. She should have read more novels.

Seeing that the buckets were already full, he quickly covered them with lids and put them in the warehouse. Then he took out a few empty buckets and continued to fill them with water.

"Shushu, I'll get water here. Go find some saplings, and sell them. Sell as many as you can," Xia Hua said.

Now that there's such a way to make money, of course she has to seize it. She didn't read novels for nothing. Although she wouldn't mind supporting Shushu, she probably wouldn't want to, since Shushu is a very strong-willed woman.
