Gu Jiaojiao found so more amusing things to say to distract her, making Yu Fangfang smile nonstop as her body gradually relaxed.
It felt like they had only been chatting for a mont when Xu Chongshan walked in, carrying the freshly brewed dicine.
Gu Jiaojiao told Yu Fangfang that it was a uterine tonic and that she just needed to drink it, though it would be a bit bitter.
Xu Chongshan considerately helped Yu Fangfang sit up, holding her with one arm while feeding her the dicine with the other.
Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.
’And here I am, getting an unexpected faceful of PDA.’
After finishing the bowl of dicinal soup, Yu Fangfang felt a pleasant warmth spread through her body, and the discomfort in her stomach eased considerably.
Seeing that she was all right, Gu Jiaojiao added a final instruction, "You should help your wife change her clothes. Make sure she doesn’t move for the next few days and gets proper rest. Otherwise, you might not be able to save the baby next ti."
Xu Chongshan nodded repeatedly and tried to give Gu Jiaojiao money. Gu Jiaojiao waved her hand to refuse, but he ended up stuffing a one-yuan bill into her hand anyway.
Gu Jiaojiao was at a loss.
Resigned, she had no choice but to take the money and leave.
From beginning to end, Xu Wenwan never once made an appearance.
Inside her room, Xu Wenwan wore an impatient expression.
’In the novel I wrote, my second brother was clearly supposed to welco . But in reality, not only did he yell at , he even kicked !’ Xu Wenwan was absolutely fuming.
’When Mom and Dad get back, I’m going to tell them about this and have them deal with Second Brother.’
’This is infuriating!’
’As for the commotion outside, it’s just so barefoot doctor from the village making a house call. What’s there to see?’
’These villagers are so uncultured. When you’re sick, you should go to a proper hospital. What’s the use of finding a doctor who doesn’t even have a business license?’
’It’s a wonder they aren’t afraid of being killed by the treatnt.’
Back in the other room,
Yu Fangfang felt much better, but she didn’t dare move recklessly, terrified she would lose the baby.
She blushed as she let her husband help her change her clothes, looking utterly bashful.
The act left Xu Chongshan feeling hot all over, but one look at the bloodstains on her pants extinguished any trace of desire.
He cleaned up the bedsheets and everything else, and only then did he ask Yu Fangfang what had happened.
Yu Fangfang didn’t cover for Xu Wenwan and told him the whole story.
When Xu Chongshan heard that Xu Wenwan had actually made a heavily pregnant Yu Fangfang help her move seventy or eighty pounds of luggage, he completely exploded with rage.
He shot to his feet, ready to go and deal with Xu Wenwan.
Yu Fangfang quickly grabbed his sleeve.
"Don’t go. Mom and Dad are overjoyed that your little sister is back. If you go and cause trouble now, they’ll probably be angry with you when they get ho."
Looking at Yu Fangfang’s pale face, still thinking of him even now, Xu Chongshan’s heart softened imnsely.
"Don’t be afraid. As long as I’m here in this family, I won’t let you be wronged. If worse cos to worst, we’ll move out."
He earned full work points, and his wife was capable too. Why would they have to worry about not living a good life?
As for the village gossip, what the hell was there to be afraid of?
Leng Yuan wasn’t afraid of severing ties with the Leng Family, so what did he have to be scared of?
Besides, he wasn’t even severing ties.
A warmth spread through Yu Fangfang’s heart. Seeing the pained redness in her husband’s eyes, her own heart filled with sweetness.
Her husband was so protective of her; even if she had to suffer a little, she still felt happy inside.
"This was all thanks to Gu Zhiqing. When I’m better, I’ll go thank her in person."
She had crossed paths with Gu Jiaojiao before, but Gu Jiaojiao had a bad temper, so she never went out of her way to greet her.
Now, after this one interaction, she realized that Gu Jiaojiao was not only beautiful but also had a good temper and a gentle way of speaking. Chatting with her just now had put her completely at ease.
Xu Chongshan nodded in agreent. "We really should thank Gu Zhiqing properly. You can spend more ti with her in the future, too."
Even though it was just this one ti, Xu Chongshan felt that Gu Jiaojiao was a genuinely good person.
He was already on good terms with Leng Yuan. Although he was a few years older than Leng Yuan, the two of them got along well.
On top of that, two years ago, when his wife was weak after childbirth, he wanted to buy so brown sugar to help her recover. He tried to borrow so from everyone he could think of, but with no success.
In the end, it was Leng Yuan who heard about it and sent over ration coupons for two pounds of brown sugar.
He had always rembered that favor.
Now, Gu Jiaojiao had saved his wife. In the future, if Leng Yuan and his wife ever needed anything, he would help them without a second thought.
anwhile, on Gu Jiaojiao’s end...
She was strolling slowly ho. Just as she reached her front door, she saw Aunt Zhao waiting there.
Gu Jiaojiao hurried forward. "Aunt Zhao, what brings you here?"
Aunt Zhao looked at Gu Jiaojiao, her face full of apology. "Jiaojiao, I ca to apologize. I was the one who told Xu Chongshan to ask you to see his wife."
"He was on his way to find a barefoot doctor when I happened to run into him. He told his wife was having a miscarriage and was in great danger. All I could think about was that a life was on the line, so I wanted to see if you could do anything."
"I didn’t tell you beforehand and just sent Xu Chongshan over. I’m so sorry."
