He Tiantian was unaware that in Grandma Qi's mind, her excessive blood loss had already been interpreted as possession by a ghost.
"Lie down first, I'll go get you a bowl of bone broth, you can drink some first." After saying that, Grandma Qi San shuffled out of the house.
After drinking the bone broth that Grandma Qi brought, He Tiantian felt full and her head wasn't as dizzy as before.
After eating and drinking her fill, He Tiantian wanted to sleep. Although she wasn't seriously injured this time, she definitely needed to rest.
Grandma Qi covered He Tiantian with a blanket, then quietly closed the door and went out. She hid away to pray to the gods and Buddhas for He Tiantian's well-being.
Meanwhile, Qi Xiaoyan went out and returned home, asking her mother, Liang Hongyu, to deliver the basket that He Tiantian had left on the road to Grandma Qi's house. She then hurriedly took the money and went to Hujia Village to find Wang Shuilian.
It's winter, so people stay indoors and don't go out much. Fewer people get sick, and Wang Shuilian has been staying at home these past few days.
Upon seeing Qi Xiaoyan arrive and hearing her description, he brought some ointments, pills, and a large medicine box, and followed Qi Xiaoyan to Qi Family Village.
As they approached the village, Qi Xiaoyan and Wang Shuilian encountered Qi Jianguo, who was returning from running errands on his bicycle.
"Sister Shuilian, what brings you here?" Qi Jianguo asked, glancing at Qi Xiaoyan. "Xiaoyan, is someone in the village sick?"
"Sister Tiantian isn't feeling well," Qi Xiaoyan replied. "We're almost there, Dr. Wang, let's hurry."
Qi Jianguo was taken aback and quickly asked, "How is Tiantian?"
Upon hearing Qi Jianguo's overly familiar address, Qi Xiaoyan remembered that Sister Tiantian disliked Qi Jianguo and Qi Fangfang, and felt slightly displeased. She said, "It's nothing serious. The doctor will know after examining you. Doctor Wang, let's go."
Previously, Qi Jianguo reported He Tiantian. If we hadn't known beforehand, Sister Tiantian would definitely have been in trouble. Now that they hear Sister Tiantian is sick, they're coming to show concern. It's hypocritical and disgusting.
"Sister Shuilian, get on, I'll give you a ride, it'll be faster that way," Qi Jianguo said hurriedly, his face showing concern.
Seeing Qi Jianguo's reaction, Wang Shuilian knew that he was still thinking about that girl. She had already noticed something when she examined Qi San's grandmother's leg last time.
Since they were family, Wang Shuilian was naturally willing to help and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll ride your bicycle, it'll be faster that way."
Qi Xiaoyan wanted to stop them, but she didn't know what to say. After all, Qi Jianguo and Sister Tiantian's affair wasn't public, and they didn't know how Sister Tiantian's health was right now. It would be best if the doctor went as soon as possible. As for Qi Jianguo, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything reckless in broad daylight.
Before Qi Xiaoyan could answer, Wang Shuilian jumped onto Qi Jianguo's bicycle.
Because of his younger sister Qi Fangfang, Qi Jianguo had a bad impression of Qi Xiaoyan. Without even telling Qi Xiaoyan, he rode his bicycle with Wang Shuilian to Qijia Village, which was not far away.
Qi Xiaoyan stomped her feet in anger behind her. This Qi Jianguo is shameless.
Thinking of Grandma Qi's advanced age and Sister Tian Tian's frailty, Qi Xiao Yan dared not delay and, disregarding her own health, ran towards He Tian Tian.
Qi Xiaoyan was preoccupied and didn't even realize that her health was much better than before.
Now, when Qi Jianguo brought Wang Shuilian over, Qi San's grandmother was also taken aback. She looked back and, not seeing Qi Xiaoyan, asked, "Jianguo, where is Xiaoyan?"
"I'm in a hurry to bring Sister Shuilian over first, Xiaoyan is still behind," Qi Jianguo said. "Auntie, come on, let's go in quickly and get Tiantian treated."
Qi Jianguo grabbed Wang Shuilian's arm, carrying a medicine box, and strode in.
Grandma Qi, standing on tiptoe behind, said, "Now that the country is established, that sweet girl is a grown woman, so you don't need to go in. Doctor Wang, I'll go in with you."
Qi Jianguo cursed inwardly, "That old bastard, he's ruining my good time."
"This medicine box is heavy, let me carry it in." Qi Jianguo made an excuse. He knew which room He Tiantian lived in, so he pushed the door open and went in.
Wang Shuilian assumed that her cousin-in-law and He Tiantian had feelings for each other, which explained his inappropriate behavior, but she didn't stop him. Instead, she went in with Qi Jianguo.
Grandma Qi squinted from behind and said, "Qi Jianguo, you scoundrel, you're no good. You're like a weasel paying respects to a chicken—you're up to no good."
She made it so obvious, yet Qi Jianguo still charged forward!
They have absolutely no manners!
Wang Shuilian is a fool too!
He Tiantian was startled awake when she heard someone push the door open. She peeked out from under the covers, her slightly oversized pajamas revealing her smooth arms. She rubbed her eyes and opened them to see Qi Jianguo!
"Get out! Get out of here!" He Tiantian shouted. When she saw Qi Jianguo, her mind was filled with memories of her past life.
She hates Qi Jianguo!
She hates being deceived!
Qi Jianguo stopped in his tracks, and Wang Shuilian was also taken aback.
Grandma Qi San had already come over and said, "Jianguo, you silly child, the girl is resting in bed, what are you doing going in there! Come out quickly."
"Get out! Get out!" He Tiantian shouted uncontrollably. "If you don't leave, I'll report you for indecent assault!"
Seeing He Tiantian's strong reaction, Wang Shuilian quickly took the medicine box and said, "Jianguo, you should go out quickly. She's just a young girl, she's in a bad mood, she'll be fine in a bit."
Qi Jianguo was furious. He wanted to stay. Looking at He Tiantian lying on the bed, he wanted to pounce on her and love this little woman who was like a hedgehog.
"Founding the Nation... Founding the Nation..." Grandma Qi was furious. How could this person be so shameless?
Seeing that Qi Jianguo wouldn't leave, he picked up his cane and hit Qi Jianguo's shin, saying, "Aren't you going out...? If you don't go out, I'm going to go and call for help..."
"Get out of here right now." Seeing that Grandma Qi was angry, Wang Shuilian quickly pushed Qi Jianguo out.
Qi Jianguo sighed and slumped down by the door, looking dejected.
Grandma Qi closed the door from the inside, preventing Qi Jianguo from looking inside.
"Hehe, my cousin-in-law is a good person. He met Xiaoyan on the way and asked me to come over. He knew you were sick and was very worried, so he rode his bicycle to take me here," Wang Shuilian explained with a smile. "He didn't mean any harm, so don't mind him."
He Tiantian glanced at Wang Shuilian, narrowed her eyes, and said, word by word, "I mind!"
Wang Shuilian was taken aback, then asked again, "Hehe, young people, they're just hot-tempered and getting into arguments?"
He Tiantian sat up, put on her light blue floral cotton-padded jacket, and looked steadily at Wang Shuilian, saying, "Comrade Wang, please watch your words. I'm not being temperamental; I'm just chasing away an impolite man who barged into my room. As for any disagreement, that's completely wrong. I have no relationship with Comrade Qi Jianguo, nor do I want any contact with him." (To be continued.)
