"I heard you found fresh water?" Chen Xia smiled and looked at Ji Zhang.
She thought that it must be when Ji Zhang and warm were in the mountains yesterday, they found fresh water. Although Warm had the right to speak about this matter, the main person should be Ji Zhang.
Ji Zhang nodded, "Jiao Jiao found it."
Chen Xia paused for a moment.
Jiao Jiao disappeared yesterday and almost died. She came back dragging not only a wild boar, but she also found fresh water?
She quickly covered up the look on her face and said with a relaxed smile, "in fact, it's nothing. I heard that you have plenty of fresh water. I also want to come to ask for some water!"Well, if there's anything I can do to help you later, just say it!"
Chen Xia clearly wanted to get free water. In the audience's view, she was not annoying, and they even thought that she was being kind, given her status.
[Sister Xia does not pretend at all!]
[Yes, I appreciate sister Xia's character, so direct!]
Chen Xia's also had skills with words, as if determined that the other party will not refuse. She even said that if the other party needed help, she would help.
It appeared that if they refused her, War mand Ji Zhang would be stingy.
Ji Zhang looked to Warm. After all the water source was found by Warm's family, he could not make the decision.
Warm did not hesitate, "Sister Xia, the water source we found is very abundant. Tomorrow Teacher Ji will be going into the mountains, he can take you over."
Chen Xia laughed, "don't bother, don't you have water in your home? I have a bottle here. I will come to fetch water anytime I need it, is that okay?"

Warm was stunned.
Come to my house to fetch water?
Although they had water at the house, they had to go back and forth five or six times, to transport back such a little water. If Chen Xia wanted to take a share, then Teacher Ji and Jiao Jiao would need to go many many times more.
However, in order to save face, she did not refuse. Chen Xia should not ask for too much.
In the morning, Chen Xia took a large bucket of water, and asked Ji Zhang to help her carry it back.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, Chen Xia came again. That means that the water had been used to give Kitte a bath. She herself did not use any. This also meant that she had no more water.
Chen Xia came over this time and asked for another large bucket of water, repeatedly thanking her. Warm could not say much.
The next morning, Chen Xia did not come.
But she came back in the afternoon.
This time, Chen Xia was blocked in the door with her delicate and small body.
"Of course not!" Ruan Jiao Jiao said shrewd look on her delicate face. "We've had a lot of trouble getting water. Uncle Ji has to take me several times to get enough for our two families for two or three days. As a result, you took more than half of it yesterday."
Chen Xia smiled and bent down, pinched Jiao Jiao's little face. "Jiao Jiao, aunt did not know that it was so much trouble. I will pay attention to, and I will use less water, is that okay?"
Ruan Jiao Jiao smiled and said, "no, we can share the water with you, but you have to fetch water yourself!"
Chen Xia's face froze, and in her heart, she asked how can the child be so ignorant?

At this time, Warm heard the conversation and came quickly. "Jiao Jiao, where is the courtesy mom taught you? Who told you to talk to Aunt Chen like that?"
Ruan Jiao Jiao's mouth was flat.
Warm smile to look at Chen Xia, and said apologetically, "but Jiao Jiao said is really the truth. The previous water is also used up, we will go to the mountains to fetch water later. Do you want to come with us? You can take as much as you want."
Chen Xia smiled and waved her hand. "Don't tell me about the water source. It's embarrassing. I'll tell you what. When you come back this afternoon, I'll come back again. I'll take less."
Warm gave a dark frown.
Chen Xia turned away with an empty bucket.
Chen Xia was a little unhappy. With her position, she had to curry favor with this kind of stale celebrity.
It was like she's here to ask for Warm's help for her family! How did that look?
"No wonder you can't get popular. You have no vision!"
Chen Xia felt hatred in her heart.
