Chapter 536: Gamble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Mo Family was the richest family in the country.

To be able to become the richest family, they had to have a deep background and connections. Ordinary families could not compare to them.

If one did not have a family background, power, or connections, it would not be easy to become the richest in a country.

“Mingming, is the Mo family really reliable?” Eldest Uncle said worriedly. “After all, although they are rich and powerful, no one will despise them for having more power and money.”

Therefore, he wondered if the Mo family would want to monopolize the space and the spiritual spring water so that they could win people’s hearts and obtain more power.

As long as the Mo family was slightly ambitious, they could maximize the use of the spiritual spring water and make the Mo family the top in the world in terms of power and money.

Who wouldn’t get old and sick?

The spiritual became the greatest temptation for these powerful people.

Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “I can only take a gamble now.”

“Gamble?”

Everyone was so shocked that their mouths were agape. It was unbelievable!

“Mingming, how can we bet on this? If we lose, it’s not about losing money, but about losing your life,” Second Uncle said anxiously and worriedly.

Third Uncle suddenly said, “Mingming, didn’t you say that the things you planted caused it? Then let’s not plant the vegetables with the spiritual spring water. Since it’s not watered by the spiritual spring water, it won’t have any effect on cancer, so there won’t be any trouble, right?”

“Yes, I think Third Uncle is right. We won’t plant it anymore.” Shi Hangyu was the first to agree. “As long as we don’t plant it, those people won’t discover anything. Naturally, they won’t know your secret.”

“Yes, Mingming, I think you’re right too. We’re not planting anymore.”

His uncles agreed.

However, Grandpa Shi suddenly said, “You guys don’t have the guts to do it. Have you ever thought about how many people in this world are in despair from the torture of cancer? How many families have become poor because of a serious illness? But in the end, they have nothing.

“Ming’er is a kind-hearted child. If she wasn’t kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to see Wei Jianhang lose his life at such a young age, she wouldn’t have suggested letting him come to Stoneback Village. I think Ming’er risked being exposed back then to let him come over, right?”

As soon as Grandpa finished speaking, everyone fell silent and looked at Gu Qingming in unison.

“Mingming…”

Yes, Mingming had asked her friend to come over because she was kind and risked her secret being exposed.

This was a selfless and kind person.

Gu Qingming smiled and said, “The spiritual spring water in the space can cure all illnesses. Naturally, leukemia and cancer are also among these illnesses. I really don’t want Wei Jianhang to lose his life at such a young age. Besides, he’s also a friend of mine. I can’t leave him in the lurch.”

“But you clearly know that this will expose your secret!” Shi Yaoqing said anxiously, “This secret will also bring you great danger, and it might even endanger your life.”

If it was a slightly selfish person, they would definitely prioritize their own safety. As for the others, how could they care?

Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “I was already prepared for this when I decided to save Wei Jianhang.”

“Are your so-called preparations the Mo family?” Eldest Uncle said worriedly and anxiously. “Even if the Mo Family is Little Orange’s family, we know nothing about the Mo Family. What if your things are more seductive than Little Orange? It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t give up on Little Orange and choose that temptation. Mingming, you’re too bold.”

“Alright, since things have come to this, let’s take one step at a time and see what happens,” Grandpa Shi shouted. Then, he asked, “Ming’er, what are you going to do?”

Gu Qingming said according to her plan, “I can only look for the Mo family now and see if they can help me the country’s leaders. If we have the country as our backer, we can be fearless against any faction.”

“But what if we lose the bet?”

“Alright, go ahead!”

The voices of Eldest Uncle and Grandpa sounded at the same time.

“Since you’ve decided, go ahead and do it. What kind of man are you? Even if you fail, at most, you’ll be a hero again in eighteen years,” Grandpa Shi reprimanded his eldest uncle.

At this moment, Shi Yaoqing said softly, “Grandpa, Sister doesn’t seem to be a man. She’s just a little girl.”

Eldest Uncle and the others were speechless.

And so was Grandpa Shi.

Grandpa Shi snorted again and said, “Hmph, regardless of gender, as a member of the Shi family, everyone has to act like a hero.”

Everyone was speechless. The members of the Shi Family were indeed heroes.

“Yes, Grandpa, you’re right.” Shi Yaoqing immediately agreed. “As a member of the Shi family, you have to have the courage to gamble. If you win, you can save countless people. If you lose, at most, you’ll be a hero again 18 years later.”

Everyone was speechless.

When Gu Qingming confessed to the Mo family, she first confessed to the Shi family as a precaution. It was also to let the Shi Family be mentally prepared in case the Shi family became someone’s target when news spread.

After a night of discussion, everyone also adopted a supportive attitude towards Gu Qingming asking the Mo Family for help despite this being a life-and-death gamble.

Then, everyone returned to their rooms to wash up and sleep.

However, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for everyone.

The next morning, they woke up refreshed.

In the countryside, the air was really good, especially in the morning.

The Mo couple woke up early and took a breath of fresh air. They felt refreshed.

They thought that they had woken up very early.

Unexpectedly, when she got up, most of the Shi family members were already up.

They looked at the sky.

Did all country bumpkins wake up so early?

However, they were surprised to find that other than the children, the adults all had dark circles under their eyes.

Madam Mo muttered, “Could it be inherited?”

But even if it was hereditary, how could their daughters-in-law who married into the family inherit the same traits?

Madam Mo saw that Eldest Aunt seemed to be washing everyone’s clothes and went over to help. Eldest Aunt immediately refused. “No, you don’t have to do it. 1’11 just rub these clothes on the collar and sleeves. I’ll put them on the washing machine to wash them later. Yunjiao, go to the village with Ronghua. The air is good in the morning. After walking for a while, be back for breakfast.”

Madam Mo had really never done much work in the past, nor did she know how to do anything. Other than occasionally cooking for the family in the kitchen at home.

Therefore, she did not force herself to stay and work. She followed her husband to the village or outside the village. When it was seven or eight o’clock, she would come back for breakfast and tease her granddaughter..
