With this discovery, Su Mian jumped with excitement. If she was to remove the weeds and water the plants in the future, would her physical points increase faster?
Su Mian's joyfully packed up the farming equipment and cleared the dust on the first floor of the tower. She became covered in sweat after finishing all these.
She tested the temperature of the stream and noticed it had a suitable temperature, thus decided to bathe there.
It was already the coldest time of the year outside this mysterious space. As the village was in the northeast region, taking a bath in the winter was especially painful. Even hot water in a barrel would quickly become cold.
The creek flowed past a giant rock slightly submerged underwater. It was about two meters long and one meter wide.
Su Mian removed her clothes and laid down on top of it, closing her eyes. The creek water flowed over her body. Small fish swam by and would bite and tickle her toes, making her giggle joyfully.
The creek water completely washed away the black mud from her body. After bathing, Su Mian immediately felt more refreshed from recovering her energy.
It seemed that this stream was extraordinary!
Su Mian properly dressed and realized she had been out for a long time and should return soon.
As she thought of leaving the place, her body had already appeared inside her original room.
The space inside the tower was easy to operate. As long as she thought about entering, she would be sent in, thus making her like it even more.
Looking at the clock on the wall, she saw that only an hour had passed since she left.
How is this possible?
Her biological clock was telling her at least three hours had passed while she was inside the space. However, only an hour had passed in the outside world. This discovery made Su Mian excited.
Wouldn't this mean the seeds only need 1 day to germinate on the outside?
This discovery meant that time moved around three times faster in the tower space. This also meant that the seeds would grow three times as fast. She wondered if she could bring medicinal plants in the tower space from the outside, so she planned to try it next time.
The only thing she regretted was her inability to use the tower space to earn money. Now she needed to find another way to do so.
"Little Mian, stop reading, it's time for dinner!" Her stepmother He Qin walked in and caressed her head and then smiled, "Well, there seems to be no more fever."
"Mum, you worry too much! She is as strong as a bull. All the good things were given to her to eat. If she died so easily, then how are we going to live?"
The door screen was lifted, and a young boy jumped inside. He appeared to be dark and thin, but his large eyes appeared especially bright.
It was Su Mian's little brother, Su Jin Long.
Su Jin Long's words were not wrong. If their family only had a single egg, then it would be first given to Su Mian.
When Si Mian saw her dark and thin little brother, her heart ached. Their family situation was bad and it was clear that Su Jin Long was malnourished.
"Stinky brat, how could you say that. And, where have you been the entire day? Watch how I will break your legs!" He Qin picked up a broom and really wanted to beat Su Jin Long.
"Mom, if you break my legs, who will take care of you in the future. You should not count on Su Mian!" Su Jin Long blurted out while escaping outside.
Su Jin Long ran quite fast. If He Qin became angry, she truly wanted to beat him. Moreover, she was pleased with his sister in every way.
"Mom, Little Long is still young. We just need to properly teach him in the future." Su Mian got up and put down the medical book in her hands. This was a book she asked her father to borrow from the county library.
He Qin thought she had misheard, the broom in her hand fell to the floor.
When was there a time that Su Mian had talked with her in such a tender voice?
In the past, Su Mian would only order her around and He Qin could only listen in fear. She was afraid that she would say something wrong that would make Su Mian angry.
She had married into the family 13 years ago, and Su Mian had never called her mom!
"Little Mian, what did you call me just now?" He Qin asked in shock. Her voice carried excitement that Su Mian had actually called her mom.
Su Mian was ashamed. From He Qin's reaction, she knew how much of a wretch she used to be in the past.
"Mom, it was all my mistake in the past. I will treat you better in the future." Su Mian took two steps forward and held He Qin's hands.
He Qin's rough hands were filled with thick calluses as a result of farming all year round.
In her previous life, she always thought He Qin had stolen the place of her birth mother. She was afraid that her father would forget about her birth mother.
On the other hand, He Qin did not lower herself to her level. She would always smile no matter how offensive Su Mian's words were, enduring everything.
