After finishing the meal, Jiang Sui stopped Xiang Baiwei who wanted to clean the table: "You take a rest, I'll do it."
"I just have a fever, there's no need to make such a fuss," Xiang Baiwei didn't want to be taken care of in such a special way by him, "You cooked the meal, so let me clean up."
"No need, just rest there. If you feel bored, get out of bed and read a book." Jiang Sui took the dishes and went outside to wash them without saying a word.
Xiang Baiwei, unable to win against him, sighed helplessly, put on her coat, and prepared to get out of bed to find a book to read.
As she was flipping through the books on the table, she saw a medicine bottle.
The medicine bottle looked as if it had just been opened. She picked it up and read the description on it carefully. It was a bottle of medicine for reducing fever. If she guessed correctly, it should be the one that Jiang Sui had given her just now.
Xiang Baiwei unscrewed the bottle, poured out a pill from it, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it gently.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but this medicine smells very different from the medicine I took when I was confused.
But the bottle of medicine was right in front of him, and he could tell at a glance that it had been bought not long ago. There was even mud and water at the bottom of the bottle.
She turned to look out the window. It was still raining, but not as heavy as before.
It is estimated that Jiang Sui went out in the rain to buy this bottle of medicine just now.
Xiang Baiwei put down the medicine bottle and felt inexplicably guilty.
Jiang Sui braved the heavy rain to buy medicine for himself and took such good care of himself.
If she were to doubt here... she would seem very ungrateful.
Jiang Sui had just walked into the room after washing the dishes when he discovered that Xiang Baiwei seemed to be rummaging through a candy box.
"What are you looking for?" Jiang Sui came over curiously, wanting to help her.
Xiang Baiwei suddenly stretched out her hand towards him and opened it, with two candies in her palm: "I suddenly remembered that I have two candies with very good taste here. I bought them by chance when I was in the provincial capital before. Although there are only two..."
As she said this, she felt a little embarrassed and wanted to take her hand back to thank the man, but she only took two candies, which seemed a bit petty no matter how she looked at it.
I don’t know if Jiang Sui will feel that I am being perfunctory after reading this.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Sui quickly reached out and took the candy, peeled one and put it in his mouth: "It's very sweet, I haven't eaten candy for a long time."
"As long as you like it." Xiang Baiwei smiled and turned to leave when Jiang Sui suddenly reached out and grabbed her. He peeled off the wrapper of another candy and gave it to her, "One for each of us."
…
The rain continued for three or four days before it gradually stopped.
After the rain stopped, the trees that had fallen due to the storm had to be propped up and the sand, rocks and rubble on the ground had to be cleaned up.
There is room for tidying up everywhere.
The school had two old classrooms that had been in disrepair for a long time. Most of them were destroyed by the storm, and classes were completely impossible to conduct for a while.
The village chief arranged for the villagers to use various tools to repair the places in the village that were damaged by the storm.
Although there were many people, the storm was so severe that it took the entire village half a month to clean up completely.
The school finally resumed normal classes.
While repairing the farmland, Xiang Baiwei got into trouble.
The cause of the incident was still Liu Mei.
Liu Mei became the talk of the village because of Xiang Shunqiang. No matter how she explained, the villagers were convinced that she had a special relationship with Xiang Shunqiang.
Liu Mei, troubled by the rumors, couldn't think of any other solution, so she turned her attention to Xiang Baiwei.
Catch a sheep and pull its wool.
Who made Xiang Baiwei so envied?
Especially after returning from the provincial capital, Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui were often mentioned by villagers as a model couple.
Liu Mei wanted to leave this place, and she often couldn't help imagining, if she hadn't come up with that idea, or if she had pretended to fall into the water to lure Jiang Sui to save her... would the current situation be different? Unfortunately, there is no if.
Now, Xiang Baiwei is the one who is attracting everyone's attention, and her relationship with her husband is getting better and better, and her life is getting smoother and smoother.
Unlike her, who is troubled by rumors every day.
We can’t do this. We have to find a way to solve this problem.
Xiang Baiwei must have heard something from the villagers these days, and perhaps she was laughing at herself behind her back.
Liu Mei didn't want Xiang Baiwei to laugh at her.
After the rain, the sky cleared up. Xiang Baiwei, carrying tools in her hands, walked towards the river with her neighbors.
The task assigned to them by the brigade was to clear sand and gravel from the river.
Xiang Baiwei wore boots specifically to avoid having her feet cut by the sharp stones.
Just when we were about to reach the river, the sound of cycling and noise came from the road behind us.
Confused, Xiang Baiwei and her neighbors turned around and saw two men on 28-inch bicycles stopped in front of her. "You are Xiang Baiwei, right?"
Xiang Baiwei looked at the two men who were obviously here with ill intentions, took a step back, and stared at them with a vigilant look: "Who are you?"
"Don't worry about who we are. Tell me first, are you Xiang Baiwei?" The man looked very impatient, with a face full of flesh, and he looked fierce.
The auntie next to her came over to help Bai Wei calm down the situation: "Who are you?"
"Looking at you, you must be Xiang Baiwei," the man pushed the cart forward two steps and looked Xiang Baiwei up and down in a frivolous manner, "You look pretty, but why is your heart so dirty? I'll give you two days to pay me back the money you owe us. If you don't pay within two days, I'll send you to the police station."
After saying that, the man got back on his bike and rode away.
Xiang Baiwei looked confused and turned to look at the group of people leaving: "Who are these people? It's weird, I don't even know them, why do they want me to pay back the money?"
The neighbor lady seemed a little suspicious of her: "Weiwei, did you get into trouble outside? If you did, go find your parents and ask them to help you settle the matter. Don't be so polite and don't say anything!"
"Auntie, you misunderstood. I don't know this group of people at all, and I don't know what he said." Xiang Baiwei felt that she had no way to defend herself and felt extremely wronged.
Where did this group of people come from? They came here and put the blame on her without any reason.
Xiang Baiwei walked towards the river with her tools, feeling angry and annoyed.
By the river, Jiang Sui was talking to someone.
Turning his head, he found Xiang Baiwei with an ugly face. Confused, he walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so ugly? What happened?"
The lady next to him heard this and quickly said, "It seems your wife has offended someone outside."
