It wasn't rainwater; it was bottled water she exchanged at the mall.
She didn't know about the well water incident; she had only gone to fetch water with Chen Yongnian a couple of days ago and noticed it didn't look very clean, so she switched to bottled water.
Furthermore, extra care should be taken with drinking water if there are pregnant women and children in the household.
Hearing this, everyone's expression softened somewhat.
Chen Yongliang immediately picked up two wooden buckets, saying, "I'll fetch a few more buckets." He didn't know when the rain would stop, and he was afraid that there would be no water to use if the rain stopped.
There was no other well in the village, but the other two wells were far apart, and it would take half an hour to fetch water from them, and the roads were difficult to travel.
Wan Qiqi did not stop him.
Although rainwater isn't very clean, it's fine for daily use as long as you don't eat it.
She wouldn't buy bottled water for everyday use.
Moreover, she didn't have many copper coins left, and with the continuous rain, it was difficult for her to go out and earn money.

The family looked puzzled.

"Survival is the most important thing!" Chen Yongliang shared the information he had gathered earlier that morning.
These past few days, Dr. Sun in the village has been seeing a lot of patients with diarrhea and vomiting. He's prescribed medicine, but it hasn't helped. In fact, the number of patients is increasing, and this morning someone even died!
"I heard that the infected people were all those who drank the well water at the village entrance," Chen Yongliang said, still somewhat frightened. Luckily, his sister-in-law had changed the well water, otherwise they would have been in trouble too.
After listening, Wan Qiqi had a vague feeling that something was wrong. The gastrointestinal infection wasn't that serious; it might be cholera.
At the same time, Wang said with a grim expression, "It's the plague! The plague has come!"
