Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

After hearing this, everyone felt a little embarrassed. After all, they had just eaten so many melons. If they didn't pay it back, wouldn't they be scolded for the rest of their lives?

"Ms. A Yao, how much did these melons cost for me and my friends?" Tianlang walked out and asked.

"Oh, one melon costs three sand coins, and here are 12 melons. But you don't have to pay it back now. After all, I don't blame you." A Yao said.

"Sand dollars? I heard from Tianlang before that the transactions here are based on soil, right?" Kailin asked.

"Maybe it was nearly a hundred years ago, but since the emergence of people like Senior Lin Yu and Grandma Azhu, the situation has gradually recovered. Although it cannot be said to be back to its original state, it is indeed not as tense as before." A Yao said with his hands folded.

"That's right." Kailin nodded in confusion.

At this time, A Yao turned to look at Grandma A Zhu and her husband and said, "Okay, A Xing, I'll take care of the guests. It's hot here, and Grandma is old, so you can help her go back and rest."

After hearing this, Ah Xing looked at Grandma Ah Zhu and nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave this to you. Please don't neglect our guests."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." A Yao nodded and said.

Ah Xing helped Grandma Ah Zhu out of the pavilion, and Ah Yao turned to face the crowd and said, "So, are you satisfied with our hospitality? If it's not good enough, please forgive me."

"No, no, it's you who are the ones who spent the money. We will pay for these melons later, so..."

Before Tianlang could finish, A Yao quickly waved her hand and responded, "It's okay, it's okay. I've already said that this was just good intentions from my mother-in-law. What I said just now was directed at those who like to take advantage, so don't worry about it."

"Really? In that case, could you please fill our water cups?" Karen said as she took out her own cup and signaled with her eyes for others to do the same.

Everyone understood what he meant and rummaged through their backpacks at the same time. Soon, the table was filled with 8 empty water bottles.

Looking at the empty cups of water in front of him, A Yao smiled and said, "Of course, everyone, please wait a moment."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the empty water bottles and walked towards the back of the awning.

Seeing the other party leave, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, I didn't expect such a thing to happen here." Zhao Heng said.

Zixuan nodded. "It seems to be true in reality, right? Because it was done with good intentions, it ended up attracting criticism from certain groups."

"This is the evil of human nature." Zhao Heng said helplessly.

"Then why don't we help Grandma Azhu." Kailin said after thinking about it.

Hearing this, Mo Yan was stunned. "Ah? You're not my eldest daughter. Why are you like this everywhere? And this happened several years ago. Even if you want to help... where do you even start?"

Zhao Heng nodded. "Indeed, I'm with Mo Yan this time. I understand you can't stand seeing good people suffer, but there are so many people suffering in the world. You can't just help everyone you see. Sometimes, you have to know what to do within your means."

"I know this too, but Grandma Ah Zhu is so old, and it's not easy for her to manage this melon field. Besides, this time, we were so grateful to them for helping us in our time of need. I have received so much kindness, but they haven't expressed anything in return. I always feel a little weird in my heart." Kailin explained, then spread her hands.

After hearing her words, Zi Xuan lowered her head and thought, "That does make some sense, but judging from Grandma Ah Zhu's attitude just now, I'm afraid she won't let us help her easily."

"Indeed." Zhao Heng nodded.

At this point, the atmosphere once again became oppressive. Just then, Tianlang stepped aside and said, "Alright, if you ask me, why bother caring so much? It's true that we suffered along the way and received help from Ms. Ah Zhu, but who would care so much when their lives are at stake? In my opinion, we should humbly accept the favor and keep it in mind. As for the rest, as long as we have a clear conscience, why should we care about what others say?"

After hearing Tianlang's words, everyone nodded thoughtfully. Kailin said, "You do have some truth in what you said. I've been overthinking it. Hey, by the way, how about we do this for a while?"

As she spoke, Karin gathered everyone together and whispered her ideas. When everyone heard her plan, they all nodded in approval.

"Well, this is a possible way." Zhao Heng said while thinking with his head down.

"But Grandma Ah Zhu will definitely not accept it. You saw it just now..."

Before Zixuan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Tianlang.

"Well, then we won't look for Ms. Zhu. When Ms. Yao comes over later, we can just talk to her directly." Tianlang said.

"Okay, let's do it this way." Mo Yan nodded.

Several people leaned on their chairs and waited at the same time. In less than a moment, A Yao came back with a cup full of water.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Your water bottles are now full. If they are not enough, I will prepare a few more bottles for you." She said with a smile.

"Oh, that's not necessary." Karen shook her head.

"Really? But I really admire your perseverance. It's at least a few thousand miles from the border checkpoint of Sangangwan or Linglang to here, and you only brought a few bottles of water. To be honest, it's really not easy to persist in walking to us." A Yao praised sincerely.

"Yes, is that so..." Kailin said a little embarrassedly.

At this moment, Tianlang smiled helplessly and whispered to Mo Yan, "She probably doesn't know we have transportation yet."

Cough!

Suddenly, Kailin coughed twice. "Oh, come to think of it, I forgot to ask. How far is it from here to Shaling?"

A Yao lowered his head and replied, "So you all want to go to Shaling. Let me think about it, it's at least 100 miles from here. At your walking speed, it may take several days."

"Ah, why is this happening?" Karen collapsed on the table.

Seeing this, A Yao smiled helplessly and said, "There's nothing we can do. After all, you don't have a carriage. If you had one, it might be faster."

"So food and accommodation have become a big problem now." Zhao Heng lowered his head and thought.

Zi Xuan waved her hands and said, "It doesn't matter where we live, after all, we have prepared everything. It's just that as for food..."

As soon as the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Kailin, as if to say: The time has come, it's your turn.

Seeing this, Kailin immediately stood up and looked at A Yao and asked, "Oh, by the way, Ms. A Yao, can you help us pack some of your watermelons? Of course, we will pay according to the market price."

Upon hearing this, A Yao immediately smiled and said, "Of course, it's okay if you don't have to pay. After all, I knew from the beginning that you weren't that kind of people."
