The three men, without suspecting anything, quickly put the reins on the newly purchased ox.

Moreover, to prevent the "old lady" from turning back, they deliberately slowed down their pace.

Jiang Tietou and the other two sat on the oxcart, with Jiang Dali in charge of driving the ox. The three of them were chatting and laughing, and were in a very good mood.

Taking advantage of the absence of pedestrians, Jiang Wanwan quickly removed her makeup and then took off the old man's clothes she was wearing, along with the white wig on her head, and put them into the locker.

After regaining her true appearance and attire, she quickly drove the oxcart back home.

Ever since it was confirmed that locusts could indeed be exchanged for rice, the villagers of Dashui Village stopped focusing on when Jiang Wanwan would return to the village and instead devoted themselves entirely to catching locusts, hoping to catch more locusts and exchange them for more rice.

Therefore, the time for collecting rice was fixed and everyone came to collect it at the middle of the You hour (5-7 PM).

Jiang Liu was in charge of distributing the rice, so Jiang Wanwan didn't need to worry about it.

However, when Uncle Jiang helped unload the oxcart, he could tell at a glance that the oxcart at home had been replaced.

He and Jiang He quietly moved the oxcart into the yard. After the gate was closed, Uncle Jiang asked in a low voice, "Wan'er, has the oxcart been replaced?"

Jiang Wanwan nodded, "Yes, it's been replaced. The cart had words carved on it, which wasn't safe, so it was replaced."

"That's right, it's good to change it." Uncle Jiang said with great agreement.

"Second Uncle, has my cousin woken up today?"

"Cousin? Where did you get a cousin?" Uncle Jiang was completely baffled.

"Tsk, that guy in the woodshed! Second Uncle, we need to get used to our identities sooner rather than later, lest we give ourselves away easily," Jiang Wanwan said earnestly.

"Wanwan is right. My nephew has been unconscious for a day and hasn't woken up yet."

"Then I'll go check on him." Jiang Wanwan said, and was about to walk towards the woodshed in the backyard. At this moment, Wangcai darted out from the backyard, grabbed her trouser leg, and looked at her innocently with his big, wet eyes.

Jiang Wanwan slapped her forehead. She had been so busy these past few days that she had almost forgotten that she had brought a dog home.

When Wangcai was first taken in, he slept in Jiang Wanwan's room for one night, and the next day he was tricked away by Jiang Hu with delicious food.

Jiang Wanwan gave Wangcai's head a good pat. "You little ingrate, you only know how to flatter me now? Come on, let's go to the woodshed to see my cousin."

After saying that, he led Wangcai toward the woodshed.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, Jiang Wanwan immediately saw Qi Zhao with his eyes tightly closed.

"This is really strange. The IV drip has been administered, and the medicine has been taken. There's no fever, and no signs of poisoning. Why hasn't he woken up yet? Could he be dead?"

As she spoke, Jiang Wanwan reached out and touched Qi Zhao's nose.

Just as she reached out her hand, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, and at the same time, she met a pair of dark and deep eyes.

"Ouch~ Let go, you're hurting me!" Jiang Wanwan frowned, glaring fiercely at Qi Zhao. "No good deed goes unpunished, is this how you treat your savior?"

Upon seeing Jiang Wanwan's familiar face, Qi Zhao immediately withdrew his hand. "Sorry, I hurt you."

Jiang Wanwan snorted, "Good to know."

Her skin was very fair, and when Qi Zhao pinched her wrist so hard, a bluish-purple mark immediately appeared on it.

"What a barbarian!"
