Gu Youyou smiled and said, "I just look at problems differently than you do. You think it's a loss, maybe those refugees feel they lost out too."
"Them losing out? Just for a few bags of water?" Duan Xiaomei sneered.
Gu Youyou said seriously, "Water sources in the desert are extremely precious and can save lives. And what I gave them can also save lives when necessary, and is also very precious. So this trade is just for mutual needs; no one loses or gains much advantage.
You, ah, think water is worthless because the place where you've lived since childhood doesn't lack water. In your eyes, water might be the most useless thing. But in this place, didn't you see a lot of animal bones in the desert we passed through before?"
"Yes, I did. Why did they die in the sand?"
"Couldn't find a way out of the desert, had no water to drink, and died of thirst."
Duan Xiaomei was momentarily stunned.
