Chapter 7: Qian Lier

 Chapter 7 Qian Lier

"Water source." Mrs. Chu almost exclaimed, then she quickly lowered her voice and asked, "What did you say, Xiaoyu? Have you found the water source?"

The third grandma was as shocked as Mrs. Chu, but she was older and had experienced a lot, so she suppressed her excitement and looked at Gu Jinli.

Aunt Tian and her two daughters heard the sound and hurried over. Their eyes brightened, they stared at Gu Jinli and asked, "Xiaoyu, are you telling the truth?" If it was true, then they would be saved.

Gu Jinli nodded: "My father once dug a well when he was working as a laborer. He told us about the master who dug a well to find an underground waterway. I have always remembered it. I saw that the Sichuan grass grows well here, and the Sichuan grass grows well. The ground is relatively moist and there are many snail shells, all of which prove that there is water underground here."

Daddy Gu is not Mrs. Gu’s biological child. He has been kicked out of the house by Mrs. Gu since he was seven years old. He has done many jobs, one of which is helping the old master dig wells and dig soil.

Since the Chu family and the others didn’t know what shallow groundwater was, Gu Jinli explained how to dig a well and find a waterway that they could understand.

“My nephew Dashan worked as a well digger, I remember.” The third grandma said, it was her boss who led her to do the job.

Mrs. Chu asked Gu Jinli: "Were you digging soil before? Take us to have a look."

Gu Jinli took Mrs. Chu, Third Grandma, Aunt Tian and her daughter to the place where she dug the soil. Pointing to the small pit one foot deep, he said: "The soil in this pit is muddy, which proves that there is water underneath. As long as we remove the soil Once the layers are dug, water will come out.”

Aunt Tian looked at the muddy soil in the small pit, her eyes were red with joy: "We are saved."

Mrs. Chu and the third grandmother were also very excited. After more than three months of running away from the famine, they had never seen muddy soil, which was either crumbly or as hard as rocks.

Gu Jinli said: "Third Grandma, let's go back quickly to find my father, Father Robert, and Third Grandpa. We will discuss it and dig out the water tonight."

They have to rush on their way early tomorrow morning. They don't have much time and must act as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's hurry up and go back to find people and dig up this place tonight." The third grandma only gave birth to one daughter in her life. She has been stigmatized for her whole life and is very strong and decisive. She made the final decision: "This is ours." Even to the death, I have to dig for life-saving water.”

Several people were excited after hearing this and picked Sichuan grass as quickly as possible. After picking the Sichuan grass on the small half-acre of land, the third grandma divided the Sichuan grass into six portions and handed it to them: "Take it each, eat and drink enough." Only then can I have the strength to work.”

Mrs. Chu handed her share of Sichuan grass dishes to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu will bring it back to Hui Niang for Mother Luo. Mother Luo will stay and watch over it. After you go back and explain the matter clearly, bring people over quickly."

 Everyone was short of water, and Mrs. Chu was worried that after they left, other victims would come to occupy the place.

The third grandma was worried. She looked at Aunt Tian and said, "From the Tian family, you stay with the Luo family. I will take the three children back."

 Aunt Tian was not as decisive and smart as Mrs. Chu, but she was better at listening to the third grandma and letting her two daughters follow her closely while she stayed with Mr. Chu.

The four of them, Gu Jinli, almost jogged back. When they returned to the foot of the mountain where the victims were resting, it was already sunset.

The third grandma said: "The team looking for food in the village will come back after the sun goes down. You should go back quickly and prepare dinner. When your father comes back, let them go to my resting place. Just say that the old lady has something to do with them. Others Needless to say."

The third grandma made a special statement: "What happens in the mountains is related to our lives. Except for our own parents, we should not say a word to anyone else."

Tian Erhua and Tian Xiaohua responded nervously: "Now that we know Third Grandma, we won't tell others what happened in the mountains."

Third Grandma looked at Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, when the time comes, follow your father."

 The matter about the water source was discovered by Xiaoyu. She must be there and everyone will ask her questions.

Gu Jinli nodded: "Don't worry, Third Grandma, I will definitely be there."

 After saying that, the four of them dispersed and ran towards their resting place.

"Xiaoyu, you're back." Luo Huiniang was very happy to see Gu Jinli and ran to pick her up. When she saw the Sichuan grass dish tied with withered vines, her eyes widened: "It's Sichuan grass dish. Xiaoyu, you are so awesome. You can still find wild vegetables at this time." Gu Jinli handed Chu's basket to Luo Huiniang: "This is your family's share. Your mother asked me to give it to you."

Luo Huiniang's eyes were bright: "I have one at home too, my mother is so awesome." She took the basket, held it in her arms very dearly, and ran towards her resting place.

 Qian Lier was walking nearby and when she heard the word "Sichuan Caicai", she looked over to Gu Jinli, and sure enough she saw Gu Jinli holding a large bundle of Sichuan Caicai in his hand.

Thinking of the sweet yet fresh taste of Sichuan vegetables, Qian Lier swallowed her saliva, ran back to the resting place of Old Gu's house, found Mrs. Gu, and said, "Grandma, Gu Xiaoyu found a big bundle of Sichuan vegetables, and she wanted to privately It’s too much to hide it and not give it to the family.”

Qian Li'er is Aunt Gu's daughter. Her whole family fled famine with the old Gu family. Knowing that Gu Dashan's family was not welcomed by Mrs. Gu, they followed Mrs. Gu to challenge Gu Dashan's family.

Mrs. Zheng was sitting on the mat and beating Mrs. Gu's back. When she heard this, she was the first to curse: "What? That **** girl Gu Xiaoyu actually found Sichuan Cao Cai and dared to hide it secretly without turning it over to her family. This is going against her. Oh my god."

Gu Xiaomei on the side encouraged Mrs. Gu: "Mom, that girl Xiaoyu is so unruly, you have to teach her good manners."

 Old Mrs. Gu opened her sharp eyes, glanced at Mr. Gu, and asked, "Old man, what are you going to do about this?"

Mr. Gu said: "There is no separation of families, so the things found belong to the family."

Mrs. Gu smiled and said to Qian Li'er: "Li'er, go and bring all the food you found over there."

Mrs. Gu was very angry that Gu Jinan borrowed food privately. This was a provocation to her. She had long wanted to find an opportunity to repair the Gu Dashan family and let them know who had the final say in this family.

Zheng's face was full of gloating, and she said, "Mom, Li'er is thin-skinned and is no match for Gu Xiaoyu. I'll go along and help, lest that girl get angry."

Gu Jinli is different from Gu Jinxiu. He has been a fierce master since he was a child. If he wants to bully her, several people must come together.

Mrs. Gu had no objection. Zheng happily pulled Qian Lier and ran to the resting place of Gu Xiaoyu's house.

As soon as she arrived at the resting place of Gu Jinli's house, Mrs. Zheng saw a bundle of Sichuan Caicai. Her eyes turned green. She rushed over and knocked away Gu Jincheng and Gu Jinxiu who were surrounding Sichuan Caicai. She grabbed the Sichuan Caocai and started eating. To take away.

 Gu Jinli saw Zheng coming to grab something, and knocked Gu Jincheng and Gu Jinxiu down. He raised a sharpened branch and pricked Zheng's hand.

Zheng was in pain. She dropped the Sichuan grass in her hand, covered the back of her hand that was bleeding from the stabbing, and angrily scolded Gu Jinli: "Damn girl, do you want to kill someone?"

Gu Jinli picked up the Sichuan grass vegetables that fell on the ground, stood up holding the branch, glanced at Mrs. Zheng and Qian Lier, and said sarcastically: "It turns out to be the fourth aunt. I thought it was bandits coming to rob, but in a hurry So he fought back.”

Gu Jinli’s words made Mrs. Zheng very angry.

Qian Li'er said from the side: "Cousin Xiaoyu, the fourth aunt took her own wild vegetables, how could it be robbery? When you say that, do you still have an elder like the fourth aunt in your eyes?"

Zheng immediately straightened her back, pretending to be an elder, and scolded: "Li'er is right, I'm taking things from my own house, bring the Sichuan vegetables quickly, your milk is still waiting to be eaten."

Qian Lier reminded Zheng: "Fourth aunt, grandma said, we must bring all the edible things back." She looked at the bamboo tube that Gu Jinxiu had been holding, and there was water in it.

Gu Jinxiu was timid. When Qian Lier looked at her, she flinched, but she hugged the bamboo tube tightly. The few sips of water left in it were life-saving water for their family and could not be taken away.

Gu Jinli's face turned cold. He took a step forward, took the bamboo tube from Gu Jinxiu's arms, held the bamboo tube and Sichuan vegetables in his arms, and said to Zheng and Qian Li'er: "The village chief only stipulates the food requirements for strong laborers." Hand it over to my family, I found the Sichuan grass vegetables, and the water was given by the Luo family, so there is no need to hand it over."

 Want to grab something from her hand, what are you daydreaming about?

 …Happy National Day to all you gentlemen, have fun eating and having fun. The father of the motherland is seventy years old┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~Qian Lier is a somewhat important character, so give her a certain number of words, and we will dig in and slap her in the face in the next chapter.
