Chapter 11: Their Actions Crossed Her Bottom Line

From the information in her mind, she learned that the time ratio between this space and the outside world was four to one; whether items were brought in from outside or harvested within the space, unless special arrangements were made, they would all be stored in the underground warehouse.

The items previously collected from the Ge family should have automatically gone to the underground warehouse, yet why hadn't she seen them when she went down just now?

Thinking this, she lifted her steps and walked once more toward that warehouse entrance.

Only when she saw a black spot indeed in the innermost corner of the empty warehouse did she finally understand what was meant by an infinitely large warehouse.

Had it not been for the spiritual power she had just received from the jade tablet, she feared she still would not have been able to see it.

Those things she had stored inside were, within this infinitely large warehouse, like a single grain of millet in the vast ocean.

Dazedly, she left the warehouse and thought of the other information in her mind; she was truly curious: how exactly was it possible that the water surrounding the space on three sides, half seawater and half fresh water, remained completely separate, with well water never interfering with river water?

Yet after circling around, she still could not find out, seeing only the difference in water color at the dividing line.

Indeed, the water surrounding the space on three sides was half blue seawater and half transparent, clear fresh water; the two were distinctly separate, a sight pleasing to the eye.

However, seeing the nearly bare mountain and the empty fields ruined this aesthetic; it seemed the road ahead would be long and arduous.

After she calmed her emotions, thinking that she still had a task to complete today, she did not linger in the space any longer; after all, there was plenty of time ahead.

As soon as she exited the space, her stomach rumbled again, and only then did she realize she had been distracted earlier and forgotten to fill her stomach.

With a thought, two warm buns made of mixed flour appeared in her hands; only then did she realize that the space was not only infinitely large but also had a preservation function; this was truly wonderful.

After swallowing the two buns, she clapped her hands and, in good spirits, walked toward the commune.

After all, acting had to be done thoroughly; she was simply waiting for the day those who plotted against her would lift a stone only to crush their own feet.

When she arrived at the clinic, she happened to meet the couple Liu Xia Qiu and his wife rushing over: "Sister, brother-in-law."

Mother Liu, who had come out to pour water, saw them and, assuming they had come together, did not ask further questions.

Liu Xia Qiu called out "Mom," his eyes immediately turning red: "How is Father?"

Mother Liu sighed, did not answer directly, and pointed toward the ward: "He is inside; go in and talk."

Seeing them enter, Father Liu put aside the despondent look on his face, forced some energy, and said to his eldest daughter and son-in-law: "You have come."

Liu Xia Qiu walked over quickly, voice choked with sobs: "Father, does it hurt very much?"

As her words fell, her tears also dropped down, landing precisely on Father Liu's hand.

This made Father Liu's heart ache terribly: "Qiu, do not cry; it is already much better."

Seeing Liu Chuxue paid no attention to them, pulled her own mother over: "Mom, did you return to the village?"

Mother Liu's face looked very ugly: "Your grandfather and grandmother said the family can only give thirty yuan; any more, they are afraid it is not possible."

"What, thirty yuan?"

"Mm."

Seeing Liu Chuxue ground her teeth and said: "Grandfather and grandmother do not treat my father as their son; which parents would handle matters this way?"

"They said your second cousin found a job in the city; it probably requires a lot of money; such an opportunity is rare..."

Only after a long while did she continue: "Your eldest uncle and the others mean that even if your father's leg is taken to the city, it might not be cured; rather than letting the money go down the drain, it is more practical for your second cousin to buy that job."

Seeing Liu Chuxue's anger was ignited once more: Very well, their actions had crossed her bottom line.
