Chapter 158: It Is Too Late
Duan Yixin looked at Chi Xinru’s frowning face and said, "We can only hope that the rain will stop soon. Otherwise, we will not only have to face floods, but we may also need to prepare for the plague."
After Duan Yixin finished speaking, Chi Xinru’s heart sank. Although she had only learned medical skills from Grandpa Duan for a few weeks, Chi Xinru knew that the terrible thing was not the flood but the plague that followed after the flood.
Duan Yixin saw Chi Xinru’s gloomy expression, walked to the wooden table, and sat on the wooden stool. She took out two steamed buns from the bamboo basket, handed one to Chi Xinru, and said, "There is no use worrying about things that haven’t happened yet."
Chi Xinru looked at the steamed bun in Duan Yixin’s hand for a moment and then took it. She nodded and said, "Xin Xin, you are right. There is no use worrying about things that have not happened yet."
Seeing Chi Xinru’s mood had improved, Duan Yixin smiled and ate her dinner. After Duan Yixin drank a bowl of ginger water and ate two steamed buns, they went to the kitchen to help Madam Chi make steamed buns and pancakes.
At the same time, Chi Xiyou and his friends were busy moving the hydroponic shelves from Duan Yixin’s home to a wooden building. When they finally put the two hydroponic shelves in a wooden building, Huang Yuhe wiped the water from his face and asked curiously, "Xiyou, did you make these two strange shelves?"
Chi Xiyou remembered his promise to Duan Yixin not to let others know that she invented the hydroponic system and said, "Yes."
After Chi Xiyou finished speaking, a man who was standing behind him looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "If you made these shelves, why would you put them in Xin Niang’s house instead of your house?"
Chi Xiyou turned to look at the man, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Qingyang, don’t you know that my father doesn’t like me doing farm work? If he caught me doing farm work behind his back, he would break my legs."
Shi Qingyang couldn’t help but shudder when he thought about Chi Junheng’s angry look. He patted Chi Xiyou on the shoulder and sighed, "Brother, you have suffered."
After speaking, Shi Qingyang looked around the inside of the wooden building and said, "Speaking of which, I didn’t expect that Xin Niang could actually make money and build many wooden buildings. Grandpa Duan’s granddaughter is indeed different from ordinary women."
Chi Xiyou heard the admiration in Shi Qingyang’s voice. He snorted coldly and said, "You’d better not have any bad thoughts about Xin Xin. Otherwise, I won’t treat you as a brother and beat you."
