Chapter 458 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions (10)

The next day, after learning that Jiang Qiuyin had fallen into the water, Jiang Liangcai and Wang Huilan rushed back from the neighboring county.

These three children were pampered from a young age. Although their family was not well-off, they were never allowed to suffer any hardship or injustice within their means.

Now that this has happened, they can't rest easy, so they took the earliest bus back.

They returned very early; Jiang Zhiyi and the others were still asleep, and the door was closed.

Wang Huilan went upstairs as soon as she entered the house, saying, "I'm going to check on them."

Jiang Liangcai nodded. Since the family hadn't gotten up yet and his daughter was older, it wasn't convenient for him to go in directly. So he stayed downstairs and started tidying up the house, while also preparing breakfast for the family.

Wang Huilan tiptoed into the room and first looked at Jiang Qiuyin, who was sleeping in the middle. Her little face was rosy and she was sleeping soundly, so she should be fine.

Jiang Qiujin placed his hands and feet on Jiang Qiuyin, seemingly afraid that someone would take his sister away. Wang Huilan gently pushed him away a little, letting him lie flat to sleep.

Finally, she looked at Jiang Zhiyi, who was sleeping on the outermost side.

The eldest child in the family, the first child, and also the child she cared about the most.

Wang Huilan helped Jiang Zhiyi cover herself with the blanket and looked at her face.

Her eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying.

Jiang Qiuyin must feel very guilty about what happened to her, and she must have had a bad night.

Her family always pays close attention to her and rarely tries to upset her, just in case she feels uncomfortable. We never expected such a sudden situation to occur.

Wang Huilan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"Mom..." Jiang Zhiyi opened her eyes and saw Wang Huilan sitting by the bed. "You're back?"

Wang Huilan patted the blanket on her, "Sleep a little longer. Your father is cooking downstairs. I'll come and call you when it's ready."

Jiang Zhiyi nodded and shrank further under the covers.

Sleeping in the morning is the most comfortable. At night, the weather is too hot, and sometimes it's too hot to sleep. The temperature in the morning is just right. You can cover yourself with a blanket and enjoy the breeze. But you can't stay in bed for too long. Once the sun comes out, it will slowly get hot again.

"Go to sleep." Wang Huilan patted her head.

Jiang Zhiyi closed her eyes.

More than an hour later, Jiang Zhiyi brought her younger brother and sister downstairs.

Jiang Qiuyin was unusually quiet today, probably because she hadn't recovered yet. She didn't talk much and didn't seem to be in good spirits.

Jiang Qiujin took good care of her, picking up food for her, serving her soup, and even giving her the chicken leg in her bowl.

“There’s some in your sister’s bowl, you can eat it yourself.” Jiang Zhiyi tapped the table.

Jiang Qiuyin's bowl was almost full; if she put any more in, it would spill out.

"I'll just eat this much, I won't be able to finish it all later." Jiang Qiuyin held her small bowl and moved to another seat.

"Okay... little sister, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll get it for you." Jiang Qiujin finally gave up.

Jiang Zhiyi asked Wang Huilan, who was standing next to her, "Mom, I want to find something to do in the village."

This matter had been mentioned before, but at the time she didn't know what to do, and then she got lazy, so no one brought it up again.

Now that I think about it, I want to discuss it with them so that I can make preparations as soon as possible.

"In a little over a month, Jinjin and Yinyin will go to kindergarten in September, and I'll be bored at home. Since I'm just idling around anyway, I want to make some money."

“I want to make money too!” Jiang Qiujin chimed in.

“If you’re not going, but going to kindergarten, then I’ll buy you and your sister new schoolbags.” Jiang Zhiyi then looked at Jiang Qiuyin beside her and teased her, “How about I buy Yinyin a princess pink schoolbag?”

Jiang Qiuyin nodded. "I like it."

“I want Ultraman!” Jiang Qiujin immediately replied.

"Buy them all."

Wang Huilan didn't have any objections, but she was mainly worried that she would tire herself out. "I'll go to the village committee another day and ask if Secretary Ye can arrange for you to cook for them there. The Aunt Li who used to cook for them, her daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so she probably won't be able to stay for long."

Jiang Liangcai ate his steamed bun and said, "Ask what kind of work is easy. If all the work is tiring, then don't go."

He could always take on more side jobs. He could support his daughter at home; he didn't want her to go out and suffer.

Jiang Zhiyi: "I'll go ask myself, you don't need to worry about it."

She can handle these things herself, so they don't need to bother her.

"Well, you decide for yourself."

After finishing her meal, Jiang Zhiyi went to the village committee.

Ye Jingming happened to be in his office. Upon hearing her request, he immediately agreed, "I'll ask my dad later and have him arrange it for you. Just wait for my message at home."

He then asked, "By the way, is Yinyin alright?"

Jiang Zhiyi: "It's all over now. Thank you for yesterday."

There was chaos at the time, and she was anxious, so she didn't have time to thank him.

"It's nothing, it's just what I should do."

Jiang Zhiyi sat there for a while, knowing he had work to do, so she didn't bother him anymore.

...

In the afternoon, Jiang Liangcai and Wang Huilan went to work in the fields. They had been working on it much earlier, taking advantage of the good weather these past few days, but they had been delayed for a few days because they went to the neighboring county. Today they had to hurry up and finish it.

Since they were busy, Jiang Zhiyi had to carry the two boxes of milk to Uncle Wang's house by herself.

Yesterday, Uncle Wang jumped into the water and saved Yinyin. This is a life-saving favor, so of course I have to go and thank him in person. Before leaving, Wang Huilan also gave Jiang Zhiyi a red envelope, saying that she should give it to her later.

Jiang Zhiyi didn't stay at Uncle Wang's house for long before they had things to do, so she prepared to leave.

Aunt Wang was on her way to deliver vegetables when she asked, and coincidentally, the vegetables were being delivered to the Lu family's house.

Jiang Zhiyi was also going home, so she offered to help them deliver the package, saying it was just a small favor.

We arrived at the Lu family's door.

The security guards stopped Jiang Zhiyi directly.

If he remembered correctly, it was this same girl last time, but Lu Jingxun later ordered that she not be allowed to go in again.

"Young lady, I'm sorry, you can't come in."

Jiang Zhiyi was a little confused. "I'm here to deliver vegetables, vegetables from Aunt Wang's house."

The security guard waved his hand, still refusing, "Then let her come herself. In any case, you can't go in."

The things she was carrying weren't light, and the sun was blazing. Jiang Zhiyi's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and she couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

"Why can't I come in? I was able to go in last time, and your young master even offered to let me stay for dinner. I'm not a bad person," Jiang Zhiyi continued to ask.

The security guard didn't know either, only saying, "I don't know anything about these things, I just follow orders. It's so hot, you should go back now."

Seeing his firm attitude, Jiang Zhiyi frowned and could only turn back.

But when she got to the courtyard wall, she seemed to see a tall figure passing by the balcony's French windows.

She stood there.

"Lu Yanlin!" Jiang Zhiyi called out to him loudly, her voice clear and crisp, "Lu Yanlin! Come out here!"
