Before leaving, Aunt Hu asked her what to do with the quilt.

Zhou Jiaojiao did not answer, but asked Mrs. Chu to give Aunt Hu the money for her delivery.

"Then I won't be polite. If you need anything else, just come to me." Aunt Hu took the food, smiled happily, and left with her waist swaying.

Soon the villagers knew that Zhou Jiaojiao had given birth to a son.

When the village chief learned the news and came over, Zhou Jiaojiao was just about to ask Brother Chu Er to carry Chu San over.

He hasn't woken up yet, and Zhou Jiaojiao is worried.

"Third sister-in-law, the village chief is here."

Mrs. Chu had just packed up the bloodstained quilt and taken it out of the simple delivery room and was about to go out when she bumped into the village chief. She hurriedly turned around and went into the house to say something to Zhou Jiaojiao.

Zhou Jiaojiao nodded. When the village chief stood outside the simple delivery room, they spoke through the oil-paper cloth: "Jiaojiao, how are you feeling? I have a warm quilt that's rarely used. I'll bring it to you later."

The village chief was observant and could tell at a glance that the Chu family was planning to dispose of the quilt she used when she gave birth. But it was so cold now and it would get colder. How would Zhou Jiaojiao, who had just given birth, survive without a quilt?

Zhou Jiaojiao didn't expect that the village chief's first reaction was to care about her.

"Village chief, how can we ask for your quilt? We don't have enough quilts right now."

"Jiaojiao, this is as it should be. The whole village will agree. If it weren't for you, how many villagers would have survived this time?" The village chief laughed bitterly, blaming himself a little: "I've already scolded Lin Chengcheng. If he hadn't been careless and Boss Zhou hadn't stolen the Thunderbolt, you and Chu San wouldn't have been threatened by Shen Lin for the safety of the villagers."

Zhou Jiaojiao thought that Brother Zhou’s ability to steal the Thunderbolt must be related to Chen Lin’s good luck.

However, obviously, the village chief did not think so. He just felt that it was because the villagers were not careful enough that Shen Lin caused such a big incident.

"I can see that you know everything. If anyone can react in time when danger strikes, it's you."

"If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me and I will arrange the villagers. They will listen to me." The village chief implied that he would give the right to speak in the team to Zhou Jiaojiao.

If he was passively influenced by Zhou Jiaojiao's actions before, now he is actively mentioning it.

Zhou Jiaojiao paused but did not refuse. She really didn't like trouble, so the villagers' high degree of cooperation was naturally a good thing.

"Yes, Village Chief."

"So, you accept the quilt as compensation from my family."

Zhou Jiaojiao shook her head and said what she was thinking: "Village Chief, you forgot someone."

"who?"

The village chief didn't react for a moment.

"Chen Lin." Zhou Jiaojiao reminded, "Didn't she say that there was a lot of food in her artifact? I guess she also had a lot of clothes, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to take out so much food and medicinal herbs on the way there."

The village chief's voice became a little excited: "Jiaojiao, what do you mean..."

"Ask Chen Lin for anything we are lacking!" Originally, the village chief just wanted Chen Lin to return the food he had stolen from the villagers, but he didn't expect such a happy event to happen.

In fact, the village chief just didn't think of it at the moment.

Zhou Jiaojiao reminded: "However, there must be a sharp weapon in Shen Lin's magic weapon. If ordinary people get close to her, I am worried that something bad will happen."

"This...that will require the help of you, Jiaojiao, and Chu Sancai." The village chief said shamelessly.

“Village chief, this is nothing, but I suggest you keep a low profile and don’t tell anyone, so as not to cause any more trouble. Shen Lin can’t let it go again, otherwise if such a tragedy happens again, no one can bear it.”

"Yes, that's right."

Zhou Jiaojiao quickly discussed with the village chief and decided that from now on, Chen Lin would be handed over to Zhou Jiaojiao. If the village needed food, grain, quilts, etc., Zhou Jiaojiao would try her best to get Chen Lin to provide them.

This means that on the rest of the journey, they don’t have to worry about starving to death, freezing to death, or dying of disease. It’s like one second in heaven and one second in hell.

If the village chief felt that the team was lifeless and didn't know what to do before he came, then at this moment, he was completely convinced by Zhou Jiaojiao and felt that it was because of listening to her that he came up with such a good idea to change the situation in the whole village.

After Zhou Jiaojiao waited for the village chief to leave, she quickly called in Chu's mother, who was taking care of the baby outside. "Mom, could you please, second brother, carry my husband in on his back so I can give him acupuncture?"

"Jiaojiao, are you okay now?"

"Mom, I'm fine. You took good care of me." Apart from the external injuries that needed time to recover, Zhou Jiaojiao's delivery went smoothly and the injuries were not serious. She just needed to be careful not to be blown by the wind and continue to take medicine. She used Ma Fei San on the external injuries on her back, but it didn't hurt. Before Aunt Hu left, she also re-applied medicine and bandaged her back.

"Okay, I'll call the second brother to carry the person in."

Brother Chu Er sent Chu San to the bed and left. After all, it was inconvenient for Zhou Jiaojiao to stay with him since she was a female relative.

But Chu's mother and sister-in-law stayed.

Zhou Jiaojiao was helped to Chu San. She took out silver needles, and soon, Chu San's body was full of silver needles. At the same time, his brows were frowned in pain, as if he was experiencing a nightmare.

Chu's mother wiped his sweat with a worried look on her face.

After the acupuncture, Zhou Jiaojiao felt a little exhausted. She felt more and more that her physical fitness was not good enough and she had to find a way to exercise. Unfortunately, she had not yet signed up for the internal strength training method.

"Jiaojiao, you and Baoer rest together. I'll take care of the third brother..."

"Mother, just let my husband lie down next to me. It won't bother me. I'll have to continue giving him acupuncture in an hour or two. I need him to wake up first."

Zhou Jiaojiao realized that Chu San was in a critical period right now. Perhaps he was stimulated by his own accident, which caused the blood clots in his brain to move and the compressed nerves to loosen a little, which meant that as long as he could hold on, he might be able to recover a little.

Upon hearing this, Mother Chu naturally found it difficult to refuse. After all, the third son was not only her own son, but also the man and father of Jiaojiao and Baoer. He had to recover soon to support the family.

"Mom, please put on your clothes for me." When Zhou Jiaojiao heard the noise outside, she knew that the village chief had brought Chen Lin here.

How he would live in the future would depend on the price he had to pay to force Shen Lin’s supplies out of her space.

Chu's mother quickly dressed her. When she learned the reason why the village chief came, she immediately handed Baoer to the care of Chu's eldest sister-in-law. She, together with Chu's eldest brother and second brother, accompanied Zhou Jiaojiao to meet the village chief and Shen Lin.

It was dark by then, and no one else in the village noticed what was happening here.

Shen Lin, who was brought here by the village chief, was still unconscious.

Zhou Jiaojiao saw that Chen Lin was almost tied up. Even if a dagger appeared in her hand, it would not be able to cut her. However, for the sake of caution, she still used silver needles to prick several of her painful acupoints.
