Unable to contain her anger, she grabbed Wang Wenfang and pulled her to the ground, yelling, "Didn't I tell you before I left that Lingling got caught in the rain today and wasn't feeling well, so you were to sleep in the same room with her tonight? And since you're already awake, why can't you get up and add some firewood to the stove? You're a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, how can you not even do this little thing? You're so lazy!"

Wang Wenqi had always doted on his younger sister since they were little, and this was the first time he had ever scolded her. For a moment, Wang Wenfang looked at her brother, whose eyes were red with disbelief, and retorted, "How can two people sleep on such a small kang? It's so cramped."

Besides, she already took her medicine, didn't she? Who would have thought she'd be so weak? Just a little rain, and she's already got a fever after all that brown sugar ginger water and medicine.

Wang Wenqi was furious. He clenched his fists repeatedly as he looked at his sister who dared to talk back to him. But in the end, he remembered his parents' instructions before they left and restrained himself from hitting her.

However, she still pushed him aside impatiently and scolded, "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go prepare some warm water and a towel, and then go to Lingling's room to get the medicine."

Then he stopped looking at Wang Wenfang and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), gently touching Zhong Lingling's face and softly calling out, "Lingling, Lingling, wake up, you can get up and have some water."

Chen Shuning didn't approach them at first because she felt that Wang Wenqi and his sister were too selfish, and Zhong Lingling was love-struck and would do whatever Wang Wenqi said.

As for Wang Wenfang, she was lazy, greedy, and brainless, so she didn't like dealing with this family much later on.

Furthermore, she also felt that Liu Shumei's handling of the situation was appropriate, and judging from what Wang Wenfang had just said, Zhong Lingling must have taken her medicine after dinner, so she didn't move closer.

However, seeing that Wang Wenqi seemed to have some genuine feelings for Zhong Lingling, and that Liu Shumei had already done everything she knew and was now looking at her as if she didn't know what to do next, Chen Shuning had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to check on Zhong Lingling's condition.

My forehead was a little hot, but it was probably lower than Xu Laidi's temperature at the time, so I wasn't in such a hurry.

Turning to Wang Wenqi, he said, "Wang Zhiqing, do you know what medicine Lingling took and around when she took it?"

"I know. Around six o'clock, after dinner, Lingling felt a little feverish, so I gave her a tablet of Analgin."

"What kind of medicine is that? What does it do?"

As soon as Gu Xinyi arrived, she heard Wang Wenqi talking about what medicine Zhong Lingling had taken. However, in her time, fever reducers were usually ibuprofen or aspirin, and she had never heard of Analgin before. So, half asleep, she blurted out the question.

Since they were all educated youth living in the same courtyard, regardless of whether their intentions were genuine or not, after learning that Zhong Lingling was sick, all the educated youth from the front courtyard came over, except for Xu Laidi, who was still confused, and Wang Chunni, who stayed to take care of Xu Laidi.

For a time, Zhong Lingling's little house was noisy and lively, and the houses in the backyard were all close together.

The commotion was so loud that people in the neighboring houses could hear it. Soon after Chen Shuning and the others arrived, people from the backyard came over with oil lamps to ask what had happened. Even Yang Wanqiu, who had injured her leg, came over leaning on a cane.

"What a country bumpkin! He doesn't even know what kind of seductive tricks he used to bewitch Brother Hongyuan. He's really despicable."

Tian Mi, who had always disliked Gu Xinyi, thought that she would have a chance after Gu Xinyi broke up with Gao Hongyuan. So when Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi decided to eat with her and Zhang Tingting, Tian Mi traded a lot of things with the villagers, such as eggs and old hens, and really tried to get them back in all sorts of ways.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to show off and let Gao Hongyuan know how good he was.

Of course, Zhang Tingting also encouraged them to exchange for better things. After all, they were in the same boat, so how could they not share the good things that Tian Mi got?

But to everyone's surprise, after Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi had only been eating at their place for two days, that bitch Gu Xinyi used some unknown means to seduce Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi to come back to her place for meals again.

This infuriated Tian Mi, making their already strained relationship even worse, to the point that they argued every time they met.

However, Tian Mi is not only not very bright, but she is also not very good with words. Every time the two of them face off, she is the one who loses.

You have to know that Miss Gu was a well-known food streamer in modern times, with over ten million fans. Of course, she also had a few haters. She had long since honed her skills in making people furious through the online battles, so Gu Xinyi certainly had the ability to argue.

Hearing Tian Mi's sarcastic words, Gu Xinyi wasn't angry. She crossed her arms, glanced at Tian Mi with disdain, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Whether it's shameless or manipulative, it's still my skill, isn't it? It's better than some people who shamelessly chase men all the way to the countryside, and they still don't even give them a second glance. I really don't know who's more shameless."

Zhong Lingling's room has two bedrooms, so both the bedroom and the outer room that serves as the kitchen are smaller than Chen Shuning's room.

By this time, almost everyone from the entire educated youth compound had arrived. The male educated youth had already filled the small outer room, and since it was raining outside and they couldn't stay there, the female educated youth all squeezed into the small room next to Wang Wenfang.

It was really crowded; the kind of place where you couldn't even close the door.
