Gu Yunxi simply washed up, went to the dining room, and sat next to He Feng.

She lowered her voice and said, "Mom, I was really too tired. I just woke up."

He Feng heard this and said with a guilty look on his face: "Yun Xi, but there are too many things to do at home. Are you overworked?"

To be honest, it was all because of her incompetence as a mother-in-law. She just stood aside and left all the affairs of such a large family to Gu Yunxi.

Not only at home, but also in the embroidery shop, the grain shop, and the two farms outside, if the shopkeepers and farm managers had any problems, they all went to Gu Yunxi.

If you continue like this, it will be strange if you don’t tire yourself out!

Gu Yunxi didn't expect He Feng to say that. She smiled awkwardly and said, "No, don't think too much, mother. It's because I've been drawing a special pattern recently."

"That flower pattern is not easy to draw. It takes a lot of time. I wanted to finish it as soon as possible, so I went to bed a little late at night..."

Hearing Gu Yunxi say this, the guilty look on He Feng's face eased and he said, "Don't be too anxious to paint the flowers. Your health is the most important thing. Don't stay up too late at night."

"If you're really in a hurry, then go to bed early and get up early in the morning. I'll help you look after Kai and the others these days."

Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help, mother."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spoke in low voices. To others, it seemed that they were hiding a secret from others.

Lu Jianan immediately asked, "Mom, what are you whispering to your sister-in-law about? I want to know too!"

"Puchi, hahahaha..." Gu Yunxi couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Jianan's gossipy look.

He Feng glared at him and said angrily, "Little kid, stop being so gossipy."

Lu Jianan stuck out his tongue, pouted his lips, and buried his head in eating.

If you don’t want him to know, then don’t let him know. It has nothing to do with him anyway.

-

The days passed like this, day after day, and Gu Yunxi still went to add water to the well on the street from time to time.

After adding the water, Shuangqiu took her back. She tiptoed to lie down, and Lu Jianchuan woke up in a daze.

"Wife, did you get up just now?" Lu Jianchuan asked vaguely.

Gu Yunxi was startled and said quickly, "Well, I had to pee urgently, so I went out for a while."

Lu Jianchuan: "Oh, go to sleep."

Gu Yunxi:...

Fortunately, she came back quickly. If she had come back slower, Lu Jianchuan would have become suspicious if he hadn't seen her when he got up.

She had told Lu Jianchuan about the space before, and also said that crops could be grown in the space, but she didn’t say that there was a spiritual spring in the space, nor did she explain the function of the spiritual spring, let alone that the spiritual spring water was inexhaustible.

It’s better not to let Lu Jianchuan know some things. This is her secret alone.

Gu Yunxi closed his eyes and prayed in his heart, when will the drought end? It would be great if it rained.

There has not been a single rain since the Chinese New Year until mid-May. No wonder there is a drought!

The next day at noon, she received a letter from the village chief.

The village chief said that there was not much water left in the wells in Xijiang Village. There was originally a lot of water stored in the medicinal fields, but the villagers had no water to use, so they went to the medicinal fields to fetch water.

The village chief thought about it and decided that human life was more important. He couldn't just watch the villagers die of thirst without water, so he had to sacrifice the honeysuckle in the medicinal field.

The village chief's letter was full of apologies, and he also said that he would bear part of the losses of the medicinal fields.

Gu Yunxi shook his head. If the honeysuckle is gone, it can be planted again, but if a person is gone, there is no way to revive him.

She wrote a reply to the village chief, asking him to put human life first and not to pay any compensation, as they were not wrong.

At the same time, Mo San arranged for the servants in the mansion to deliver water to Qingshan Farm and Luxi Farm. Every day they took water from the mansion and secretly delivered it to the farms in a horse-drawn carriage.

Everything happened without anyone noticing, so the Lu family was fine.

However, Gu Yunxi's body began to suffer from the fatigue. Even though he came back to catch up on sleep during the day, he could never get enough sleep or sleep well.

She started to lose her hair and became anxious. She really hoped that God would send rain soon!

Seeing her like this, Lu Jianchuan felt so distressed that he hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, my wife. When I was on duty today, I heard from my superiors that the emperor has arranged to pray for rain."

"Pray for rain?" This was the first time Gu Yunxi had heard of this, but she did believe it. There had been many successful examples of praying for rain since ancient times.

"If the prayer for rain can really succeed, that would be great. The people of the world will be saved!"

The autumn planting season is just around the corner. If there is no rain and the ground becomes dry and cracked, how can we grow crops?

If they can't grow crops, the people will be miserable. They still have to pay taxes even if the land is barren! They are still waiting for food!

Gu Yunxi sighed, frowned slightly, and went to bed with a hint of worry.

She didn't know that in the middle of the night, dark clouds quickly covered the entire land of Tianqi Kingdom. A silent flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, and after a while, with a loud bang, drops of rain began to fall.

"Ah! It's raining! It's raining!!!"

"Get a basin for water, quick!"

There was suddenly a commotion outside and Gu Yunxi was woken up from her half-slept state. When she heard the sound of rain outside, she sat up suddenly.

She pushed Lu Jianchuan hurriedly: "Achuan, wake up quickly and listen outside. Does it sound like rain?"

Lu Jianchuan was also awakened by her shaking. He pricked up his ears and listened. With a look of ecstasy on his face, he quickly got out of bed and ran to the window in his slippers.

He pushed open the window, stretched out his hand, felt the big raindrops hitting his hand, and burst into laughter.

"Wife, it's raining, it's really raining! That's good, the people are saved! That's great!" Lu Jianchuan turned around and hugged Gu Yunxi excitedly.

Gu Yunxi was also very happy. Now, starting tonight, she finally didn't have to add water and could finally have a good sleep.

"Achuan, let's go to sleep quickly and go out for a look tomorrow morning." After being excited, Gu Yunxi pulled Lu Jianchuan to lie down.

When he woke up the next morning, it happened to be Lu Jianchuan's day off. He had breakfast with his family, then went out with Gu Yunxi and took a walk on the street.

The two walked to the well on the street, and Gu Yunxi actually saw the child again.

"Beautiful auntie!" The child shouted happily as soon as he saw Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi looked around and was surprised to find that the child's grandmother was not there. She asked hurriedly, "Hey, why are you here? Where's your grandmother?"

"My grandma went to buy me steamed buns. She said that God has finally opened his eyes and it has rained. We will be able to survive from now on. This is something worth celebrating."

Gu Yunxi looked at the happy child in front of him and suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.

This child is so pitiful that he talks about a steamed bun as if it were meat.

She quietly took out a purse with some silver in it and said, "This will be given to your grandma later, okay? The old immortal specifically told me to give it to your grandma."

The child was still a little dazed and didn't react before Gu Yunxi quickly stuffed the purse into his pocket.
