Putting two jade beads in the well every day allowed them to water the vegetable fields directly.

However, everything they did at home was water from the well, so they did not know if they would eat something bad.

But the chickens in the pen would be fine if they ate it!

Were chickens like humans?

Gu Xin felt that she had to test it out, so she poured herself a bowl of warm water and quietly put the jade beads into the water. She picked up the bowl with a serious look on her face.

“Xin Xin, what’s wrong? Why are you frowning after drinking the water?” Gu Nian happened to enter the central room. She found Gu Xin’s little face adorable.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m just waiting for the water to be warm,” Gu Xin said guiltily.

No, she had to drink it. A chicken could produce more eggs. A human should be fine after eating it, right!?

‘Gu Xin, you have to drink it for the sake of having more eggs at home and for the sake of having more vegetables at home.’

‘You won’t die from drinking it. This was something given by the Little Carp. The Little Carp has leaped over the Dragon Gate and become a divine dragon. The things it gave definitely won’t harm anyone.’

Even if it was uncomfortable to eat, it was only because she was uncomfortable. Hmm, drink it!

Gu Xin cheered herself up in her heart. In the end, she raised her head and finished drinking the water.

After she finished drinking, she started to stay in the kitchen.

She had been so distracted that the three outsiders from the Gu family were worried sick.

But they couldn’t get anything out of her.

…

The next day, before dawn, Gu Shouxin got up. He separated the egg yolk from the egg white and started to whip the cake.

He also looked at the vegetable plot. It was exactly the same as yesterday. He didn’t think too much about it. This was what was normal! Although he didn’t know what had happened to the radish and pepper a few days ago.

The egg white was beaten into a white paste. Gu Xin got up at dawn.

She was surprised to find that there was nothing wrong with her body. She was extremely happy.

She ran out to exercise with Gu Shouxin. After she was done, she said, “Dad, the vegetables in the vegetable plot did not grow out today. I think we should water the plot.”

“Go!” Seeing that she was unwilling to give up and was very active, Gu Shouxin did not discourage her.

Gu Nian and Cai Xiaolian had already gotten up. They were disappointed that the vegetables had not grown. However, they did not think too much about it. If the vegetables did not grow now, they would definitely grow again when the time came.

Gu Xin ran to the well and looked back. There was no one else in the courtyard. They had all gone to the kitchen. She quickly put the jade beads that she had prepared earlier into the well and did not immediately fetch water.

Gu Shouxin came out of the kitchen and saw that she was in a daze. He thought that she was weak and could not fetch water from the well, so he went forward to help.

“Xin Xin, go wash up quickly. Daddy will water the ground. I just sweated and the wind is a little cold now. Be careful not to catch a cold.” Gu Shouxin told her to go back into the house.

“Oh. But Dad, you must water it.” Gu Xin nodded. It would be good for Dad to water it.

“Got it. Hurry up and go!” Gu Shouxin smiled helplessly.

In the kitchen, there was a pot of steamed cake and a pot of cooked breakfast.

Gu Xin finished washing up and went to change her clothes. Gu Shouxin had already finished watering it.

The family ate breakfast, fed the chicken, and went out together.

Gu Xin originally wanted to stay at home and watch the vegetable plot, but the other three were worried about her, so she could only go with them.

After locking the door, Cai Xiaolian and Gu Shouxin each carried a big basket with cake in it.
