Chiang Xiao now felt very fortunate that she had generously given Zhao Xin that kettle of water previously.
The water was practically life-saving at this moment.
She quickly twisted off the cap, helped her grandmother sit up, and fed her the water. "Grandma, hurry up and drink, drink more, I’ve infused this water with good herbs!"
Ge Liutao was so exhausted she could hardly speak, only managing to drink water with Chiang Xiao’s assistance.
Meanwhile, the other men had been intercepted by Xu Linjiang and Zhao Xin.
Chiang Xiao’s fierce slap had turned Ho Laidi into a pig-headed mess, which had also frightened them. Plus, with Xu Linjiang and Zhao Xin now staring them down furiously, they dared not stir up any more trouble.
The men from Nameless Creek exhaustedly climbed ashore, lying on the creek bank gasping for air like dead dogs.
Zhao Xin glanced over and became even more amazed at Chiang Xiao’s capabilities.
He had noticed earlier that Chiang Xiao knew no martial arts; her technique was purely brute force.
But her speed was fast, her movements nimble, and her strength formidable! If she could learn some combat skills from the captain, she could definitely handle more than a dozen ordinary men!
Recalling the speed at which she had run over just now, he thought it was so fast that he suspected he had seen it wrong.
Looking at these men now, his heart filled with anger. What kind of life was Chiang Xiao leading here? It was bad enough that she had to painstakingly think of ways to make money, but there was not a single supporter, and her relatives even stabbed her in the back!
It was hard to imagine how she managed to live unscathed to this age.
Thinking about this, Zhao Xin’s disdain for these people deepened.
"Grandpa, you should sit down and rest too," Chiang Xiao turned her head and looked at Chiang Songhai, taking quite a shock when she saw his complexion was barely any better than Ge Liutao’s, and hurriedly urged him to sit.
Sitting on the ground was manageable.
Ge Dejun also stumbled over and supported Chiang Songhai, "Brother-in-law, listen to Little, sit down."
His heart, which had been tightly wound, finally relaxed a bit at this moment.
It was rather embarrassing to admit, but as an old man, he felt a sense of backbone because of a teenager. It seemed like ever since Chiang Xiao arrived, he felt a lot more settled in his heart.
It would indeed be a laughing stock if word got out.
The blow Chiang Songhai had received was too severe, leaving his mind somewhat blank and dazed. It wasn’t until he heard Ge Dejun’s phrase "listen to Little" that he subconsciously obeyed.
He hadn’t been listening to Little, always feeling that Little was rude to the Old Chiang Family and always chastising and educating her, but what about reality?
Now, he subconsciously felt that following Little’s words couldn’t be wrong.
After sitting down, Chiang Xiao passed him the water kettle, "Great-uncle, grandpa, you both take a few sips."
The Lingzhi produced by her Space had a nourishing effect a thousand times better than ordinary Lingzhi.
She was unsure if he had been injured earlier, but in any case, drinking more would definitely be beneficial.
Ge Dejun promptly took the water kettle.
At this time, Ge Liutao finally caught her breath, heaved deeply, and called out: "Little..."
"Grandma, I’m here," Chiang Xiao quickly responded.
Ge Liutao just called her name and then couldn’t say another word, only hugging her and starting to sob with pent-up emotion.
Her cries were saturated with deep melancholy and pain, which even caused Chiang Songhai’s tears to flow down his face.
Zhao Xin, while keeping an eye on the men, felt a heavy sorrow in his heart.
He felt profoundly exhausted on behalf of Chiang Xiao.
He felt so sorry for his young sister-in-law, what should he do?
If only the captain were here.
In Zhao Xin’s view, Meng Xinian would surely have a way to help them.
"What on earth are you all doing?" a shout suddenly erupted.
