Chapter 8: Determination

The reason why she noticed him was because Hua Jiujiu recognized him as the man who had pulled her up just now. His hands were different from those of people who worked in farming all year round. Not only were they not rough, they weren’t calloused either. Instead, they were slender, fair, and exceptionally good-looking.

When did such a person appear in the village?

Hua Jiujiu thanked him softly and continued to thank the other villagers. She did not notice that this man’s deep eyes were staring at her.

The villagers praised Hua Jiujiu for being mature.

Although Hua Jiujiu knew that most of the people here were just watching the show, she had no choice but to build a good relationship with them because she would have to rely on them after splitting up the family. This way, her family at that point would not be criticized.

After that, the villagers saw that there was nothing more to see, so they all went home to eat.

Once these people left, Elder Madam Xu couldn’t hold it in anymore. She grabbed a broom and hit Hua Jiujiu.

“You good-for-nothing. Give me back my money, or I’ll beat you to death!”

Hua Jiujiu carried her brother and hid in her father’s house. She also got her two sisters to come in quickly.

Then, she closed the door and used the table to barricade it.

Old Man Xu couldn’t open the door and kept cursing outside. “You money-losing good-for-nothing, how dare you lock your grandmother outside? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”

Hua Jiujiu ignored her and placed her brother on another clean bed. She asked her sisters to take care of him while she went into the inner room to check on Baizhi.

Although it was called an inner house, it was actually just a room separated by a curtain screen. Even their living conditions were the worst.

Hua Jiujiu checked on Bai Zhi’s and realized that her condition was quite good. She couldn’t help but sigh at the power of the spiritual spring in the space.

God really still loved her. He actually gave her such an impressive, awesome cheat.

Hua Jiujiu took another cup of spiritual spring water from the space and fed it to Bai Zhi.

She had only applied the spiritual spring water on the wound just now. She wondered if the effect would be better if she fed it directly.

It seemed to have some use, as Bai Zhi’s pulse became much more stable.

Fortunately, in the modern era, Hua Jiujiu had learned intermediate western and eastern medicine integration. Otherwise, without instruments, many things could not be carried out.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, Hua Jiujiu walked out of the room.

“Sister, how is Mother?” Second Sister asked with a worried expression.

“She’s fine, just asleep,” Hua Jiujiu replied.

Then, she walked to the two younger siblings who suddenly cried and picked up one of them with heartache.

“Second Sister, feed her some water too,” Hua Jiujiu said as she handed her a bowl of spirit spring water.

She did not know when the sheep that Old Hua had asked Third Uncle to buy would be brought back. It was probably just a cover. She could only feed them with the spiritual spring first.

Her brother’s body was very weak. It was obvious that he had some deficiencies, so she hoped that this spiritual spring could nourish his body.

Perhaps it was because there was enough energy in the spiritual spring, as her brother fell asleep after drinking just a little.

It was the same with her baby sister.

“You two can drink the rest.” Hua Jiujiu handed the remaining half a bowl of water to Second Sister.

The two girls were indeed thirsty. They hugged their bowls and drank.

After drinking it, they even smacked her lips. “Sis, why do I feel that this water is a little sweet?”

“Does it taste good?” Hua Jiujiu asked with a smile.

“Yeah.”

“Then drink it every day from now on.” Hua Jiujiu did not explain anything.

She would not tell anyone about that space, not even her own family.

“Okay!” Why didn’t they realize that water could be so delicious in the past? It was so delicious that they didn’t feel hungry anymore.
