A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Alum can purify water. I have only heard of this but I have never seen it with my own eyes.

With water, we can cook and everyone no longer has to suffer from hunger and thirst.

Seven buckets of water were definitely not enough for so many people, so Wen Meijiu made it clear: Fellow villagers who come to borrow water can use it for cooking, but no one else can, and the amount is limited for each household.

Ma Rulan and Qi Wenjing came over to help, but were driven away by Wen Meijiu, who told them to quickly build a stove and cook. She did the job alone.

She carried three buckets of water and helped the villagers scoop water into their pots. The more they scooped, the less water others had, but hers kept scooping more and more. Finally, the villagers all had water to cook, and the water in her bucket was just used up.

Fortunately, everyone was so hungry at that time that no one paid attention to her mischief.

Wen Meijiu was busy here, when she suddenly found that the shopkeeper and the waiter were standing at the door of the inn, looking at her from inside, the way they looked at her was almost like looking at an enemy.

All the villagers came to borrow water. In the end, Liu Kerong, who had even scolded Wen Meijiu, had no one to borrow water from, so she shamelessly came with the pot.

"Good wine, can you give me some water too?"

It is said that thunder will not strike a smiling person, but facing Liu Kerong who was smiling, Wen Meijiu did not hesitate at all and said directly:

"Nothing."

"You, don't you have some over there?"

Liu Kerong pointed to the half bucket of water beside the pot. It was what Ma Rulan and Qi Wenjing had left. Only this half bucket was left.

Wen Meijiu looked back and shouted at Ma Rulan who was busy:

"Rulan, pour the water in the bucket into the pot, boil it, and give it to everyone to drink later."

Ma Rulan didn't know why Wen Meijiu said that, so she responded immediately.

Liu Kerong was so angry that she jumped up, holding the pot in one hand and pointing at Wen Meijiu's nose with the other, cursing:

"You're going too far, you little bitch. You won't be allowed to work or eat. You'll get your comeuppance."

Wen Meijiu was neither afraid of her nor angry with her. He stared at her with innocent eyes and asked:

"Aunt, it seems like your retribution is faster than mine. Now you have no food to eat."

Liu Kerong was so angry that she shook her head a few times, "Wen Meijiu, don't push me. If you push me too far, you will suffer the consequences."

"I just don't like eating fruit. What does it have to do with me whether it's good or not?"

Wen Meijiu spread his hands and smiled purely and innocently.

Liu Kerong was so angry that she threw her own pot in front of her with a bang and turned away.

Wen Meijiu was holding a bucket of water, standing behind her and shouting:

"Auntie, if you are so capable, why don't you go to the inn and eat meat buns instead of asking for water from a coward like me?"

It was intentional. Wen Meijiu definitely did it on purpose. Everyone could see it clearly and knew that Liu Kerong had greatly offended Wen Meijiu, so she was treated like this.

These days, every household can barely survive and relies on warm and fine wine, so who would care about other people's business?

Liu Kerong also knew that Wen Meijiu did this on purpose. She was so angry that she turned back and said to Wen Meijiu as she walked away:

"Go ahead. Not only do I want to eat the meat buns, but I'll also put the blame on you."

Isolated and targeted, everyone in the family, young and old, blamed Liu Kerong, otherwise they wouldn't have known that she and Wen Meijiu didn't get along and had sent her over to ask for water.

Naturally, she also received a lot of complaints from her family at home, who blamed her for offending Wen Meijiu.

However, in this situation, Liu Kerong had no choice but to act tough. The words had already been spoken, and whether it succeeded or not, she had to make a fuss, and maybe there would be some results.

Thinking this way, Liu Kerong walked to the door of the inn and went in headfirst. For some reason, the shopkeeper and the waiter standing at the door did not stop her and followed her in.

Since we couldn't see what was going on inside anymore, everyone turned their attention back and started cooking. After all, they had no food in their stomachs and didn't have much time to think about it.

After a while, Liu Kerong suddenly walked out of the door of the inn again and walked straight towards Wen Meijiu.

Judging from her attitude, she was no longer angry about Wen Meijiu, and there was still a bit of disdain on her face.

When she came closer, Wen Meijiu couldn't help but sarcastically:

"Auntie, did they take care of your meals?"

Who would have thought that Liu Kerong would become even more aloof, with a proud expression on her face, and walked past Wen Meijiu without saying a word, and went straight towards Zhizheng and the others.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Wen Meijiu followed her from a distance to see what she wanted to do.

Liu Kerong walked up to Zhizheng, reached out and patted him on the shoulder. When Zhizheng looked at her, she waved her hand towards the inside of the inn and asked:

"Stop arguing. The boss invites you and your brothers to eat meat buns. It's free. Do you want to go?"

Zhi Zheng looked at her, then looked at the warm wine in the distance, then shook his head slightly at her and said:

"Thank the boss for my kindness. I won't accept the reward without merit."

Liu Kerong was stunned. She didn't expect Zhi Zheng to be rejected so quickly.

"Art and his brothers are eating and drinking in there."

Liu Kerong saw with her own eyes that Art and his boss were drinking and eating meat buns inside.

The boss's wife said that as long as she called Zhi Zheng over, she would also have meat buns to eat.

Such a good thing, not only did Art like it, she was also very happy. She believed that as long as Zhizheng was not stupid, he would definitely not refuse it.

There is wine and meat, but this life is no better than the treatment here at Wen Meijiu. I eat pancakes all day long, and the meat is gone. What's the point?

"They are them, and we are us. We are different."

It is easy to understand whether to stop the dispute or refuse, and Prince Wang will not agree to it.

However, for the sake of Young Master Wang's safety, Zhi Zheng and the others had been pretending not to know Young Master Wang in front of outsiders.

If I don't stop fighting, it means I won't get any benefits from Liu Kerong, so won't I still have to starve?

"What's the difference? The boss invited you because he thinks highly of you. Why are you being so aloof?"

Liu Kerong couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhi Zheng, her tone also contained disdain, more to hide her anger.

"Of course it's different. We are the regular guards recruited by Miss Wen. You should know better than me what they are."

Why did Wen Meijiu recruit a guard team in the first place?

The reason given to the outside world is to protect the safety of the villagers.

At that time, the biggest safety threat to the villagers was Art and his gang. Although they were later recruited by Wen Meijiu, they still had a bad reputation!

Liu Kerong didn't think so much. When Zhi Zheng said this, she was speechless.

There was really nothing else to say, so she thought for a moment and used what she heard from Art in the backyard to stop the argument:

"You think so, don't you?

In my opinion, Art is much better than you.

Art and his men are all tall and strong, with extraordinary momentum. If a fight breaks out, you will definitely not get any advantage.

You have nothing to be proud of. You are just fooling yourself by saying that you have recruited a regular guard. To put it bluntly, aren't you just a bunch of beggars begging on the streets?"

After Liu Kerong finished speaking, she felt relieved and spat fiercely on the ground in front of Zhizheng.
