Lin Ru felt a pang of unease seeing Bai Shi's forced smile.
She gave the three brothers a wink, and then the three of them restrained Bai Shi from behind, while Lin Ru stepped forward and forcibly put the water bag to Bai Shi's mouth!
Bai was still trying to struggle, but Lin Ru didn't give her a chance at all!
"Mom! You'd better drink it now, or you'll spill the water and it'll all be for nothing."
Bai immediately became obedient, afraid of spilling the precious water. She gulped down two big mouthfuls and then refused to drink any more!
Seeing this, Lin Ru didn't insist. This spiritual spring water seemed to quench thirst better than other waters, and these two sips would solve a big problem!
After Bai finished drinking, Lin Ru handed the water pouch to her three younger brothers, insisting that each of them drink two sips.
Lin Bai and the other two were very obedient. After they finished drinking, Lin Ru took out a few more pastries and candies and distributed them to the four of them, forcing them to eat them!
Lin Qing looked listless before drinking water, but after drinking it, she still had time to chat!
"Elder sister! Why do I feel like your cuffs and bosom are like a treasure chest? It's full of all sorts of things! Don't you find it heavy? Do you want me to help you take some out? And why are all these things inside so that it's not visible from the outside?"
"Every time I try to sneak something into my clothes, I always get caught!"
"Could you teach me how you put it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ru suddenly didn't know how to respond, because she had only used her clothes as cover to put those things into her spatial storage!
When Bai saw Lin Ru's reaction, her eyes reddened slightly, and she hugged Lin Ru with heartache!
"My poor Ru'er! She's so young and has to suffer so much!"
Lin Ru was taken aback by Bai Shi's actions until Bai Shi subtly glanced at her chest!
Then she said sadly, "They're not growing anymore! They're 13 years old, but they're still like boys. What are we going to do?"
"It's my fault, Mother!"
Lin Ru suddenly understood!
Is it because Bai feels her chest is too flat that she can fit so many things in there?
Is her chest flat?
She looked down herself!
She does seem quite flat-chested, but that's probably how it is for a 13-year-old girl, right?
It wasn't until she saw the 12-year-old Tao Xiangya walking gracefully towards her that Lin Ru finally confronted her own flat-chested problem!
But all she wants to say is that she's proud of her flat chest and that she's saving fabric for the country!
Lin Bai and the other two were completely bewildered by their mother's reaction!
However, no one continued to pay attention to why Lin Ru was able to hide so many things in her clothes!
Tao Xiangya saw Lin Ru looking at her with some envy, and her heart was full of sarcasm!
She looked at the water pouch and pastries in Lin Ru's hand, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes!
Her uncle-in-law was also quite incompetent; he only managed to recover two donkey carts full of books for their family!
You should know that her family brought six donkey carts with them. If they hadn't brought all their money with them, they would have starved to death these days, exchanging high prices with some peasants who still had some surplus food for dried-up cornbread and potatoes.
Her old-fashioned grandfather actually agreed with Bai Qiang's approach!
As a result, her mother got scolded by her grandmother for not being able to cook!
Her two cousins used to adore her, always thinking of her first whenever they had something good. If it weren't for Lin Ru, she could have anything she wanted from the Bai family now!
Why is it that she was the one who was always the center of attention before, but now her grandfather and aunt outwardly disapprove of Lin Ru's behavior, yet behind her back they won't allow her to say a single bad word about Lin Ru!
This is so frustrating!
Just then, the system's announcement came through Lin Ru's mind again!
"Ding! Tao Xiangya's hatred value has increased by 60 points!"
This left Lin Ru speechless. All she had done was glance at her.
As for directly generating hatred points and then resorting to violence!?
She looked at Tao Xiangya with utter incomprehension.
Tao Xiangya also noticed her gaze. Although she was thirsty, hungry, and tired, she walked past the Bai family with her head held high and head held high, heading straight for Bai Chengye!
Upon arrival, he gave a very elegant bow!
"Hello, Grandpa Bai! I'm Tao Xiangya from the Tao family! My grandfather sent me here to ask if you're selling the water you have?"
"As you know, we only managed to recover two carriages, and they were both full of books! We had no other choice but to come to you!"
Bai Chengye looked somewhat embarrassed!
"Miss Tao! It's no use looking for me, I don't have any water here!"
Tao Xiangya maintained her polite smile and said, "You're too kind! I see Miss Lin is holding water in her hand, and she must have just drunk some! Don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"
"We will absolutely not let you suffer any losses!"
Bai Chengye felt extremely uncomfortable with what Tao Xiangya said! He frowned, clearly annoyed!
"Miss Tao! You're joking. This isn't about money at all!"
"The water Ru'er has is what she brought with her. There wasn't much left, and even we're reluctant to drink it ourselves. How could we possibly sell it to you? Besides, it's her business, and she gets to decide what's on her plate!"
"It's no use you coming to me!"
Tao Xiangya covered her mouth in great surprise!
"Good heavens! How could this be? You are an elder! Aren't their things your things too? How can you not make the decision?"
"This is truly amazing!"
"I don't believe Sister Lin would be so disrespectful to her elders!"
"You're clearly a family!"
Bai Chengye was getting impatient and turned his head away, ignoring her!
Bai Mingkuai and Bai Mingle looked at Tao Xiangya with strong disapproval!
"Xiang Ya! How dare you speak to my grandfather like that? That stuff originally belonged to Ru'er!"
Tao Xiangya looked at her two cousins with a somewhat aggrieved expression!
“Cousin! I didn’t say anything, I was just a little surprised! Aunt Bai hasn’t gotten married, so she’s still a member of the Bai family! As long as the family hasn’t separated, everything should belong to the elders!”
"That's how our Tao family has always been!"
After saying that, she raised her voice and said, "And I'm a little confused, why is it that everyone else is out of water, but only Sister Lin Ru still has water?!"
“She’s been separated from the main force every day to find water sources. Logically, she should be more tired and thirsty than the others!”
"Why does she look like she drinks a lot of water every day? And look at Aunt Bai and the others, their complexions are obviously much better than the villagers'!"
"Could it be that Sister Lin Ru actually found a water source outside!?"
"Then why not share it with everyone?"
Tao Xiangya looked at the villagers of Shili Village. Some of them had suspicious eyes, and some villagers, who were so thirsty that they even had the idea of robbing them!
Tao Xiangya was very satisfied to see the greed in their eyes!
I thought maliciously, "Since I can't drink any, then nobody should drink any! It would be better if you took everything!"
But when she saw the angry expressions on the faces of the Bai family members!
He immediately concealed the malice in his eyes!
She covered her mouth in utter terror!
