Chapter 19: How was one ton of water used in one night?
There were two taps in the backyard, so she connected them and started filling the containers with water. It took her about five tries to fill them all.
Gu Xixi sat on the stone bench behind her and couldn't help but sigh. Listening to the sound of water, she scrolled through her parents' WeChat Moments, which showed where they went and what scenery they encountered each day.
But she only now belatedly realized that in all the days her parents had been posting on WeChat Moments, her parents, who always loved posting close-up photos, hadn't posted a single selfie...
He was probably afraid she would notice his strange expression and become suspicious.
"Boss, this is the takeout I ordered for you, snail rice noodles. Eating spicy food can relieve stress!" Jiang Xi brought over a takeout order, placed it in front of her, and then carefully said, "I asked Aunt Wang, and she said you like to eat it."
Gu Xixi put down her phone and then realized she hadn't eaten dinner. She nodded and said, "Okay, by the way, are you staying there tonight?"
She remembered that Jiang Xi hadn't brought anything with her that morning.
"If you need time to move, I can give you the day off tomorrow."
"No, no, no, I don't need it. The weather isn't cold yet, and I have a mattress on the bed. I'll make do for a month and buy one when I get paid."
Jiang Xi quickly waved her hand; she was already quite satisfied with the current situation.
Going back was definitely out of the question. Gu Xixi could tell that she had something difficult to say, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just took out her phone, added her as a friend, and then transferred 200 yuan to her.
"It was agreed that with the extra wages you get for unloading goods each day, you should at least buy a blanket and a few changes of clothes at the night market. Once you get your wages, you can buy more."
Jiang Xi went from being surprised to feeling grateful. She was extremely moved. She nodded twice, then turned and went into the supermarket, only to return carrying a large pile of things.
There were cotton quilts that cost 45 yuan each and weighed five kilograms, so she took two.
There was also a 25-yuan tin kettle, a 1.5-yuan plastic cup, a 5-yuan toothbrush, a box of 30-yuan discounted instant noodles, a 9.9-yuan 200ml bottle of shampoo, and a 1.5-yuan bar of sulfur soap.
"Boss, this totals 162.9 yuan. I'll buy a 10-yuan T-shirt from the night market and a pair of cotton pants for 10 yuan. I think I can still make more than ten yuan back."
Jiang Xi was very satisfied and smiled sincerely. Seeing Gu Xixi's equally sincere eyes, she transferred 162.9 yuan to Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi smiled too, "Okay, then you can leave work early. Come back at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. You absolutely can't come early, understand?"
Jiang Xi nodded in agreement and headed towards Aunt Wang's house on the next street with a large pile of things.
After four more days of unloading, we can pay the rent to Aunt Wang's family!
Today was a slow period. After the evening rush, there were basically no customers left in the store. Gu Xixi checked the quantity of goods, made the payment, sealed the water tanks, and closed the store door early at eight o'clock.
She had no appetite for a late-night snack and felt very upset, so she went back into the system to practice martial arts. After practicing for three hours, she went straight to sleep.
Her dreams were filled with fond memories of her parents and the past. In the end, she dreamt that her father had died, and she woke up crying, her cheeks covered in tears and sweat from fright.
She picked up her phone; it was exactly four o'clock. After washing up and cooking breakfast, she took the list she had written yesterday and went downstairs to the backyard, eagerly waiting for Shen Qingyan's arrival.
At 4:40, a thick fog enveloped the backyard. Shen Qingyan walked over, with a large cart behind him carrying towering empty buckets. She immediately stood up and stared at him intently.
She hid the order form behind her back and first directed Shen Qingyan to unload the bottles and move the goods, while also explaining the quantity and total price of the items being moved. "By the way, I only sold 1/4 of that batch of goods, and I made a lot of money. That's enough to buy about 200 sets of these supplies every day, so you don't have to worry about money for now."
The total cost was over 50 million. Before adding meat and water, the cost was around 200,000, with meat costing 10,000 and water costing 50 each for 10 tons... So, about 200 servings is about right.
While unloading the goods, Shen Qingyan chimed in, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss. By the way, you seem to be preoccupied. Is there anything you would like to say to me? Please feel free to speak your mind!"
After moving the last load, Shen Qingyan stopped completely, panting heavily as she patiently asked questions.
Gu Xixi pointed to the large water storage tanks and said, "Those are water. Let's move them first. I'll explain as we move them; time is tight."
Shen Qingyan started carrying water again, and Gu Xixi quickly explained to him, "A friend of mine is seriously ill and there is no cure. I want you to find a prescription, a good doctor, or even a life-saving herb in your world!"
Shen Qingyan entered the fog, but quickly ran back.
"I will do my best to fulfill your request, young lady. May I ask what ailment your friend suffers from?"
“There is severe abdominal pain that spreads to the back and waist. The skin and whites of the eyes will turn yellow, and there may also be nausea and vomiting…” Gu Xixi described it as pancreatic cancer.
Shen Qingyan remembered it after only two visits, and then disappeared into the mist. Gu Xixi only heard one sentence: "Please rest assured, young lady, your friend will surely be blessed by heaven."
"Thank you," she murmured softly, then sat down heavily again.
She then notified the water delivery station to come and collect the water buckets. Only then did she realize that she had forgotten to eat breakfast, and Shen Qingyan hadn't had time to eat either...
Meanwhile, in the Great Huang Dynasty, Xilan County.
Under the advisor's direction, everyone was loading the goods onto the oxcart, intending to transport them back from another direction to create the illusion that a reclusive family had delivered the goods.
Shen Qingyan then relayed Gu Xixi's request to his teacher, Chen Yanxu, since his mentor had a wider network of connections and even knew imperial physicians, making it the fastest way to find a suitable method and a good doctor.
Chen Yanxu immediately wrote several letters and sent them by fast horse to various parts of the prefecture and county. Shen Qingyan also posted notices, seeking a good doctor in the name of a family of reclusive masters, so that the public could spread the word and search for him.
……
Modern-day police station, 8:30 a.m.
As the police station opened, Xu Yi walked in from outside, holding a jianbing (Chinese crepe). He saw a man and a woman talking intensely in hushed tones and immediately became alert. "What are you two doing here so early in the morning?"
The two were startled, but upon seeing Xu Yi's uniform, their expressions immediately became serious and respectful.
A passerby said, "Uncle in the hat, I work at that water delivery station nearby. I'm responsible for delivering water to this area. I've discovered that our boss is doing illegal things, and I want to report him!"
Xu Yi nodded. Illegal activities in the water delivery service are a matter of public safety, and that is indeed a very serious matter.
He then looked at the woman and asked, "And what about you?"
A female passerby said, "Uncle Hat, I'm in charge of the smart water meter system in this area. I discovered that last night, one family used ten tons of water in one night! There was another case before where someone suddenly used a huge amount of water, and the result was..."
Xu Yi's expression became even more serious, and he immediately led the two inside to explain in detail, "How did your boss break the law, and which family did you mention? Tell me everything in detail."
"It's a get-rich-quick supermarket!"
