“Of course. This Spiritual Spring Water has many uses. Not only can it heal wounds, drinking it also brings many benefits to the body, and using it to wash your face can even improve your complexion!”
Ruirui’s soft little body leaped straight into Nan Qianqian’s arms, its snow-white fluffy fur gently brushing against her arm.
Nan Qianqian suppressed the excitement in her heart.
She thought that not only could she give the Spiritual Spring Water to the man to drink, she could also let him soak in it.
If he soaked his leg in Spiritual Spring Water, perhaps she wouldn’t even need medicine and his injury could recover on its own?
The more Nan Qianqian thought about it, the more excited she became.
In the end, when she left the space, she still brought out everything she had prepared earlier.
She planned to examine the man’s wound first before deciding what to do next.
“Daughter, eat more. Mom stir-fried some lean meat you like today.”
When Nan Qianqian came out of the space, Li Cuihua happened to come call her.
At this moment, the whole family was gathered around the table eating lunch.
As usual, everyone else had coarse grains in their bowls, while hers was still filled with white rice.
Today, Li Cuihua had stir-fried a plate of green vegetables, made a small bowl of stir-fried pork with green peppers, and cooked radish soup.
Nan Qianqian frowned because Li Cuihua had placed the bowl of pork with green peppers directly in front of her.
“Mom, put the meat in the middle so everyone can eat it together.”
As she spoke, she frowned and moved the bowl to the center of the table.
“Qianqian, none of us like eating it. You eat more.”
Li Cuihua froze for a moment before hurriedly moving the meat back in front of Nan Qianqian.
She even used her chopsticks to pick up a large piece and place it into Nan Qianqian’s bowl.
“Mom, if we’re going to eat it, then everyone should eat together. I already told you not to give me special treatment by myself. Everyone works so hard every day, and the two children are still growing. If I eat like this, aren’t you afraid I’ll lose years off my life?”
Nan Qianqian knew her words were somewhat harsh.
But she had already spoken to Li Cuihua about this before.
Unfortunately, this mother simply doted on her daughter too much.
To be honest, just imagining herself marrying into a family that only doted on its own daughter this much made Nan Qianqian feel like she would flip the table on the spot.
Aside from her eldest sister-in-law Wu Yun, who had been sent back to her parents’ home, no one else ever said anything.
But she wasn’t the original owner.
She genuinely couldn’t behave like this.
“Q-Qianqian, what are you saying?”
Li Cuihua looked at Nan Qianqian in shock, hurt appearing in her eyes.
“Mom, I’m saying that from now on, don’t give all the good food to me alone. We’re a family. Everyone should eat together.
“And if you keep doing this, you’ll spoil me. I finally managed to change some of my bad habits. You don’t want me to turn back into the way I used to be, do you?”
Nan Qianqian suppressed the reluctance in her heart.
Since she had already brought the matter up today, she might as well settle it completely.
“I…”
Li Cuihua was rendered speechless.
She truly had never seen her daughter act like this before.
“My daughter is right. This is what someone from the Nan family should be like.”
The village Party secretary looked at the determination in his daughter’s eyes and felt that his life had been worthwhile.
In the past, they had spoiled this daughter far too much, and he hadn’t been able to control her at all.
But now, he absolutely loved the personality she had developed.
“Little Sister, don’t say that. Your brothers are willing to let you have the good things.”
The usually quiet Nan Guodong couldn’t help speaking up.
“That’s right, Little Sister. It’s only a little meat. It’s nowhere near as serious as you’re making it sound,” Nan Jing also said.
“You don’t need to say anything. Anyway, I’m making myself clear today. If Mom does this again in the future, I won’t eat. And the rest of you, stop spoiling me so much.”
Nan Qianqian spoke angrily, but at the same time, her heart felt sour.
They were giving her too much love.
She was genuinely afraid she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
She only hoped that in the future, she could return their love with even more of her own.
The whole family fell silent for a while because of Nan Qianqian’s words.
In the end, Li Cuihua was the one who broke the deadlock.
“It’s Mom’s fault. Mom won’t do this anymore. My daughter really has grown up.”
“Mom, I’m not blaming you. I just don’t want to be treated differently from everyone else.”
There was a faint choke in Li Cuihua’s voice.
Nan Qianqian couldn’t help lamenting once again that the original owner truly hadn’t known how fortunate she was.
But she herself was incredibly lucky too.
She had been fortunate enough to become a member of such a wonderful family.
After lunch, the family once again busied themselves heading to the fields to work.
The two children were still taken along by her second sister-in-law, Zhang Xiao.
Nan Qianqian washed the insulated food container she had taken from the space, reheated the food Li Cuihua had set aside, and packed it inside.
To make sure the man could eat some meat, she also took a braised pork trotter from the cooked-food section of the supermarket inside the space.
Looking at the pork trotter, Nan Qianqian thought that after some time passed, she absolutely had to take out all kinds of delicious food so her family could taste them too.
After packing everything properly, Nan Qianqian didn’t forget to replace all the water in the family’s flask and water vat with Spiritual Spring Water.
After bustling around for a while, Nan Qianqian left the Nan family home carrying a large basket.
She had only just stepped out when she saw a sneaky figure lingering outside her courtyard.
“Who is it?”
Nan Qianqian shouted loudly from a distance.
The figure instantly stiffened, then slowly turned around.
The moment the person turned around, Nan Qianqian was genuinely startled.
This person?
It was actually Wu Yun.
Although her face was covered in bruises and swollen badly, Nan Qianqian still recognized her at a glance.
“Qianqian, it’s Eldest Sister-in-law.”
Seeing Nan Qianqian, Wu Yun was afraid she wouldn’t recognize her and hurriedly identified herself.
She limped toward Nan Qianqian.
Watching her slowly approach, Nan Qianqian couldn’t stop the shock in her heart.
Had her eldest brother beaten Wu Yun this badly?
She immediately shook her head and rejected the thought.
With her eldest brother’s personality, there was no way he would do something like this.
Then who had beaten her?
While Nan Qianqian was still wondering, Wu Yun had already reached her.
“Qianqian, Sister-in-law was wrong. Please say something to Mom and ask her to let me come back!”
Wu Yun’s bruised face was streaked with tears.
Her rough hands suddenly grabbed Nan Qianqian’s arm.
“Let go.”
Nan Qianqian frowned as she looked at the hands gripping her.
Just like Wu Yun’s face, they were covered in bruises, some old and some new.
Her entire appearance resembled those abused women shown on television.
It was simply too miserable to look at!
“Qianqian, Sister-in-law was wrong. I’ll definitely treat you well from now on. Please help me! Otherwise, Sister-in-law is going to be beaten to death. For your brother’s sake and Nan Feng’s sake, please forgive me!”
Wu Yun was extremely agitated.
She kept shaking Nan Qianqian’s hand so hard that the cloth covering the basket fell to the ground.
When she saw the large piece of meat inside Nan Qianqian’s basket, a trace of unwillingness flashed through Wu Yun’s eyes.
Li Cuihua was still just as biased as ever.
“Who beat you like this?”
Nan Qianqian couldn’t help asking.
The person who had done this was certainly ruthless.
Just looking at Wu Yun made her feel pain.
She couldn’t imagine what it had been like while Wu Yun was actually being beaten.
“My dad did this. I really don’t dare go back. If he finds out I ran back here, he’ll definitely beat me to death.”
Wu Yun reluctantly tore her gaze away from the basket and cried miserably, tears and snot covering her face.
“All right. I need to go out right now. Go inside and wait first. We’ll talk about it once Dad, Mom, and Eldest Brother come back.”
Nan Qianqian frowned as she looked at the woman in front of her.
The injuries all over her face really did make her look pitiful.
Although Nan Qianqian also knew the saying that pitiful people often had hateful sides…
She still thought about the fact that Wu Yun and her eldest brother were husband and wife after all, and they had a son together.
This wasn’t something Nan Qianqian could decide on her own.
She could only let Wu Yun go inside first and wait until everyone returned from work.
“All right. Go ahead!”
Wu Yun immediately smiled.
But with her bruised and swollen face, her smile looked even uglier than crying.
Nan Qianqian didn’t have time to waste words with her.
After giving her one more glance, she picked up the basket and left.
After walking a few steps, she turned around and looked back.
Seeing that Wu Yun was still staring at her, she turned away and continued walking without looking back again.
Watching Nan Qianqian’s retreating figure, a vicious gleam flashed through Wu Yun’s swollen eyes before disappearing in an instant.
