Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 102: Qi Manman Is the Most Obedient Little Sweetheart in the World
Qi Quanjin suspected there was something wrong with his ears.
Yi Meng, however, said very seriously, "Brother Jin, I’m not joking. This space should be the reward for us adopting Manbao, the child. If we don’t treat her well, this space may be reclaimed at any time."
After a pause, Yi Meng added, "This space not only has water, but can also be farmed. There are even items from our old home inside the house."
Qi Quanjin was left in a daze, feeling like his brain was getting increasingly inadequate.
After bringing the little girl home and recognizing her as their daughter, his wife received such a treasure.
This, this is too far-fetched!
But Qi Quanjin quickly adjusted his mindset, grabbing Yi Meng’s hand and said in a more serious and determined tone, "Wife, this is what they call ’good things happen to good people!’
"I think so too."
Yi Meng nodded in agreement.
Whether good people always get good rewards, she truly wasn’t sure.
However, if anyone dared to treat their daughter badly, heaven certainly wouldn’t let that person have a good time.
Qi Quanjin quickly composed himself again, drank several more glasses of spring water, and finally exhaled a long breath, "Finally feel alive again!"
Seeing him like this, Yi Meng found it amusing, "Alright, since you’ve drunk enough water, hurry out and do some work!"
"Do what work?"
Qi Quanjin was puzzled.
Yi Meng gave him an exasperated look, "Only you have drunk enough, others haven’t! Don’t we need to go out and make a water pit or something? Or do you want everyone to know about this space of mine?"
"Definitely not!"
Qi Quanjin shook his head without a second thought, "This matter is too important, except for our parents, we can’t tell anyone."
"You want to tell our parents?"
Yi Meng keenly caught the key point in his sentence.
Qi Quanjin paused, then held Yi Meng’s hand, and earnestly said, "Wife, if this space was in a time of peace and prosperity, you wouldn’t need to say anything. Even without using it, we wouldn’t go hungry or thirsty."
"But we all know the current situation outside. We don’t even know if water will be easy to find in the future. What if, like this time, we can’t find a water source for several days, then we’d have to use the spring water from your space."
"You can’t always expect only the two of us to go looking for water and find it every time!"
"Once or twice is fine, but if it happens often, we’ll need someone to cover for us, otherwise it’ll be hard to deceive others’ eyes."
Qi Quanjin patiently analyzed the situation while observing his wife’s changing expressions.
Seeing that she neither agreed nor disagreed, Qi Quanjin changed the topic, saying, "Of course, if you don’t want to say, then we won’t say. At worst, we go looking for a few more times, as long as we find it once among several tries, it’s no big deal."
Yi Meng was already hesitating whether or not to tell her in-laws about the space.
But since they already talked about their daughter’s matter, telling her own seems insignificant.
After all, the space was indeed given to her by her daughter.
She was just surprised by Qi Quanjin’s analysis.
That seemingly casual comment was clearly not as simple as it sounded.
He had seriously thought it through.
"Brother Jin, I didn’t say we couldn’t tell our parents, but I feel that besides them, we shouldn’t tell anyone else."
Yi Meng expressed her thoughts.
Qi Quanjin immediately said, "Of course! What’s that saying you taught me back then... ’an innocent man gets into trouble because of his riches’, right?"
"Right, that’s exactly what I mean."
Yi Meng couldn’t help but cup her husband’s cheeks and planted a kiss on his forehead.
It was originally a sweet gesture, but the oil, sweat, and sand on his face made it rather uncomfortable.
"Ptooey ptooey! Go wash your face, then we can head out to work."
Yi Meng spat twice.
Qi Quanjin wasn’t upset by the disdain; instead, he foolishly chuckled, scooped water with the cup, and was about to splash it on his face.
Yi Meng didn’t manage to stop him and watched as the fool drenched himself.
"Pfft! Are you an idiot?"
Yi Meng laughed so hard she doubled over, and Qi Quanjin wasn’t angry. He scooped another cup of water, washed his hands simply, wiped his eyes, and asked Yi Meng to take him out.
Yi Meng initially wanted him to wash up properly, but Qi Quanjin said that if he was too clean, it would be suspicious when they returned.
Yi Meng didn’t insist.
The two of them exited the space, each grabbing a tool to start digging a pit.
They dug through thick fallen leaves, then dug a roughly half-meter deep, irregular round pit about two meters in diameter.
After spreading a thick layer of fallen leaves in the pit, Yi Meng began transferring the space’s spring water into the pit.
The leaves would float to some extent when encountering water, dirtying the water but making it look like a wild pond to the greatest extent.
As for the earth they dug out, Yi Meng stored it in the space.
Initially, the water added to the pit was quickly absorbed by the surrounding dry soil.
Fortunately, Yi Meng had been sleepless for some time, collecting water with various containers in the space in case they needed it urgently.
So she guided the spring water into the pit while taking out those water storage tools, having Qi Quanjin pour water in as well.
The two of them worked for nearly an hour to finally fill the pit.
They walked a bit in another direction to create the appearance that they found it after circling around before quickly walking down the mountain.
"Dad, we found water!"
As soon as Qi Quanjin saw the group, he called out loudly.
The people who were previously sitting on the ground or resting against carts immediately perked up.
Qi Manman was squatting with Qi Shilang, mimicking their brothers by pulling dry grass roots back and forth.
It was a boring game, but the children found it extraordinarily fun.
Upon hearing their father’s words, Qi Manman immediately stood up, tossing the grass roots away.
Qi Shilang, who was trying to win against his sister, was unprepared and fell straight on his bottom.
Although there was dry wild grass in front and behind, it didn’t hurt much sitting on it. The little guy took a while to react, only hearing his sister shout, "We found water! We can take a bath now!"
For the past few days, mom and grandma said there wasn’t enough water to drink, so they couldn’t bathe or even wash their face and hands.
Qi Manman was full of grievance, having thought of asking the Little White multiple times, but was lectured by her mother.
What did mom say?
Ah yes!
Mom said the Little White must have something to do, and Manbao, being the most obedient good child, shouldn’t behave unreasonably.
Qi Manman was the best good child in the world!
So she must be reasonable!
But not being able to bathe was really uncomfortable!
