Tao Yinzhen thought that if she admitted that she had hit Little Cat, everything would be resolved.
But You Huaijie heard someone mutter something in his ear and said to her, “It’s great to know your mistake, but I heard that your paralyzed husband is usually taken care of by Little Cat. Now that Little Cat is injured, how are you going to take care of him?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Tao Yinzhen’s expression froze.
If she had to take care of two people at once, she would indeed not be able to free herself.
Besides, she didn’t want to take care of Ren Shuixing. She couldn’t wait for him to die immediately.
She stuttered for a long time and said, “I can hire someone.”
You Huaijie raised his eyebrows. “Since you want to hire someone, I’ll help you find one. Little Cat is still studying, right?”
Tao Yinzhen nodded nervously. “Yes.” She wanted to tell You Huaijie that she could hire someone herself, but she didn’t dare to refuse him directly.
You Huaijie’s gaze landed on Cui Shize. ‘Mr. Cui, can you help take care of him?”
Cui Shize liked Little Cat, who was smart and hardworking. He nodded and agreed. “Sir, I’m willing.”
You Huaijie nodded in satisfaction. ‘Then you may bring Little Cat back. Tao Yinzhen immediately said loudly, “Sir, don’t. He’s my son.’
She felt the fear of Little Cat being taken away by Cui Shize and never returning.
She already knew her mistake. She would definitely make it up to Little Cat.
Coincidentally, as soon as she finished speaking, Little Cat slowly regained consciousness. Tao Yinzhen immediately said to Little Cat excitedly, “Son, quickly tell the adults that you’re willing to stay by my side. I’ll hire someone to take care of you. I’ll definitely take good care of you. I shouldn’t have pushed you earlier. I know my mistake.”
She looked sincere, but Little Cat was expressionless. Instead, he looked at Bai Wutong.
This made Tao Yinzhen feel helpless again.
Bai Wutong said to Little Cat, “Your mother can’t take care of two people at the same time. The adults want Mr. Cui to take care of you. Are you willing?”
If he followed Cui Shize, he would definitely learn a lot.
Little Cat’s eyes lit up and he immediately nodded. “Yes.”
His lack of hesitation pierced Tao Yinzhen’s heart.
She was already willing to lower herself to make up for it, but Little Cat still wanted to be angry with her and not give her any face in front of so many people.
Seeing that Little Cat had agreed, You Huaijie made the decision. “In that case,
Mr. Cui will take care of him until he completely recovers. ‘
It was extremely ingenious to use the words ‘completely recovered’.
As long as Doctor Gu determined that Little Cat had not completely recovered, Little Cat could still remain by Mr. Cui’s side.
But Tao Yinzhen was still glad that as long as Little Cat recovered, he could return to her side.
The next day, the first person to wake up uncovered the water collector out of curiosity. Then, he shouted in surprise, “There’s water! There’s really water!’ Those who were still asleep were woken up.
Everyone looked at him. The man held the wooden bucket and showed it happily. “There’s a glass of water! It’s amazing! There’s really water!”
He also felt that Bai Wutong was joking the previous day, but the truth was right in front of him. There was really water.
The others quickly went to look at the pit where they had buried the water collector.
One after another, excited people shouted, “It’s true! Water! There’s water. There’s so much water!’
A cup of water was actually not much, but if they could use this method to get water, they would no longer have to worry about dying of thirst in the desert.
At this moment, they looked towards Bai Wutong as if they worshipped her as a god.
The team boiled over, and everyone ran over to ask how she had come up with the idea.
Bai Wutong could only explain that she had read it in an unknown ancient book.
Immediately, many people made a great ambition to study as much as she did.
The team was lively. Everyone had joy on their faces, making Meng Shan, who was prepared to watch them make a fool of themselves, confused.
No way. It can’t be true, right?
Could it be that they really used that broken bamboo jar to collect water?
Meng Shan’s eyes widened in disbelief as he leaned over to take a look.
Not to mention them, even Feng Xunyue, who was hiding, was shocked.
If it was true, it would unintentionally cause a huge change to the entire Southern Frontier.
In the future, when the people left the Southern Frontier, going to the Central Plains would no longer be a problem.
As they marched to war and conquered the Central Plains, the people of the Southern Frontier would have an even greater advantage.
They were more cautious and did not dare to show their faces. They sent people to quietly follow behind the Meng Shan and his tribesman.
As Meng Shan approached, the soldiers blocked their way.
Meng Shan immediately shouted at You Huaijie, “Hey, brother, why did you let them stop me?’
You Huaijie ignored him. Chu Tianbao had been infuriated last night. No stranger was allowed to approach the team casually.
Seeing that You Huaijie was ignoring him and there were people behind him, Meng Shan dug out bamboo tubes and broken bowls from the pit on the ground and shouted that there was really water. He felt as though there were 10 million ants biting him. He couldn’t help but shout at You Huaijie, “You’re such a big official, but why are you so stingy? I even gave you so much water yesterday! Can’t I just take a look?!”
You Huaijie was unmoved. It wasn’t until Bai Wutong heard his agitated shout that Meng Shan was allowed to enter alone.
As soon as Meng Shan entered the mountain, he walked towards Little Peach, who was working hard to dig a hole. He smiled. “Little girl, can Uncle help you?’
Little Peach looked up and was shocked by his bearded face. Thinking of what Madam Cui had taught her to not panick when something happened, she quickly composed herself and refused loudly. “No.”
She was surrounded by their own people. She, Little Peach, was not afraid.
Meng Shan was quite puzzled. The children of the Central Plains were actually not afraid of him. He snorted coldly and squatted down quietly. He widened his eyes and watched as Little Peach moved the stones around the satin. Then she opened the satin expectantly.
In an instant, a wooden bowl in the pit appeared in their line of sight.
Little Peach carefully took out the wooden bowl. She wanted to be as composed as Madam Cui, but she couldn’t help but shout excitedly, “Mother, I have a lot of water too. There’s a bowl of it!” Although the bowl was very small, it was enough for her to drink now.
While Little Peach left to brag to the adults, Meng Shan was dumbfounded. He really saw water.
He was still in disbelief when his gaze fell on Little Stinky, who was sticking out his butt and carrying rocks.
Before he could approach, Qingfeng and Lin Yue’s swords landed on his neck at the same time.
Meng Shan was shocked. This family was not to be trifled with, so he changed to another one.
After discovering that water could really come out of every hole, he regretted not trying it with these Central Plains people the day before.
He wanted this to be true, but he was afraid that these people were faking it to fool him.
Meng Shan walked towards You Huaijie uneasily. “Can your water collector really produce water?”
You Huaijie said frankly, “Yes.”
Meng Shan immediately asked, “How did you do it? Can you teach me?” He would know if he gave it a try.
You Huaijie squatted down readily. “Look at me.” He showed him the entire process of setting up the water collector.
After Meng Shan finished watching him, he couldn’t help but sigh. “This is too simple.”
However, You Huaijie suddenly said, “It’s not simple. You don’t have silk, so you can’t gather water like us..”
