Lin Shu thought about it and didn't try to persuade her any further: "Sister Wei, you guard the first half of the night, and I'll guard the second half. If Sister Cao wakes up, you tell me."
"Okay." Mrs. Wei nodded in agreement.
After the two of them discussed it, Lin Shu carried Xiao Ming, who was sleeping on the stool, back to his room.
She sat on a bench in the hall to rest.
At around one in the morning, Mrs. Wei woke up once, but she was still very weak.
Lin Shu fed her a bottle of medicine and she fell back asleep.
"Sister-in-law Wei, you should go back." Lin Shu said after Sister-in-law Cao fell asleep again.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaolin." Perhaps seeing that Mrs. Cao was really fine, she did not hesitate any longer.
The next morning.
Lin Shu had just finished drinking water in the hall and entered the room when he saw Mrs. Cao struggling to sit up.
"Mrs. Cao, slow down." Lin Shu immediately stepped forward to support her.
"What's wrong with me?" Mrs. Cao asked weakly, leaning against the head of the bed.
"You fainted last night." Lin Shu told her exactly what happened last night.
"Where's Xiao Ming?" Mrs. Cao was panicked when she heard this and tried to get up quickly.
Lin Shu immediately held her down: "Don't worry, Xiao Ming is asleep and hasn't woken up yet."
Mrs. Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly, "Sorry to bother you."
Lin Shu smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, Mrs. Cao grabbed her hand, her face filled with panic: "Am I seriously ill?"
Lin Shu quickly patted her hands and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's not a serious illness."
"Really?"
"Really." Lin Shu nodded affirmatively.
"But," Mrs. Cao said with a half-doubtful look on her face, "Why did I suddenly faint last night?"
"Remember what I told my sister-in-law before?" Lin Shu said, "My sister-in-law is just too weak."
There was still doubt on Mrs. Cao's face.
"Sister-in-law, you didn't drink the medicine I wrote for you, did you?"
Mrs. Cao was stunned and shook her head guiltily, "I, I didn't."
"Sister-in-law, you must take this matter seriously." Lin Shu said sternly, "Even if you don't believe me, you should go to the hospital."
"It's not me..." Mrs. Cao was a little at a loss, "I just think it's unnecessary. Everyone—"
"Do you still want to do the same as last night?" Lin Shu interrupted her.
"I..." Mrs. Cao's face turned paler. "Okay, okay, I'll go take a look."
Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.
That day, Lin Shu prepared breakfast and lunch and brought them down to Mrs. Cao.
By the evening, Mrs. Cao was no longer in serious condition.
She held Lin Shu's hand: "Xiao Lin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you... I..." She looked slightly excited.
"You're welcome." Lin Shu smiled.
"Remember to see a doctor." Lin Shu reminded again.
"good."
Back in his room, Lin Shu looked at the empty house, and the longing in his heart surged like a tide.
She missed Han Yan.
She looked at the calendar hanging on the wall, pursed her lips slightly, and was slightly lost in thought.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is in three days, and I don’t know if he can make it back.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shu came back to his senses and shook his head slightly.
There will be more and more days like this in the future, and she has to get used to it.
She cheered herself up.
They definitely can't go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She thought about calling home tomorrow.
the next day.
Before Lin Shu could call back, he received a call from Aunt Liang.
"mom."
"Hey, Shushu," Aunt Liang said in her usual loud voice on the other end of the line, "How are you and Yanzi doing lately?"
"Don't worry, Mom. He and I are fine." Lin Shu smiled. "I was just thinking of calling you guys."
"Ah, why are you calling us?" Aunt Liang's tone was full of worry. What happened?
"It's okay." Lin Shu quickly explained, "I just want to tell you that we won't be going back for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Aunt Liang said.
"Home—"
"When is it convenient for Yanzi to answer the phone?" She sounded a little anxious.
Lin Shu noticed it sensitively.
"Mom, did something happen at home?" Lin Shu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Yan is on a mission and won't be back soon."
"It's Xiaoxue..." Liang Da said.
She sighed, "Hey, there's no point telling you. It'll just make one more person anxious. I'll just hold off on this for now. When Yanzi comes back, ask him to call me."
Xiaoxue? Lin Shu thought of her simple nature and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Mom, we don't know when Brother Yan will be back. Tell me first, maybe I can help."
"This..." Aunt Liang paused and said, "Well, it's Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue's innocence was ruined by someone."
"What?" Lin Shu was shocked and asked quickly, "What's going on?"
"After you left, three new male educated youth came to the brigade." Aunt Liang continued.
"Yeah." Lin Shu listened carefully.
"None of these three new educated youth are good people. They are either sneaky and cunning, or slippery and frivolous."
Aunt Liang's tone was filled with anger. "There's another person who looks like a good person, but is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing..."
Lin Shu listened patiently without interrupting her.
After Aunt Liang finished her scolding, she heaved a long sigh and continued, "It was this seemingly good-looking young man who ruined Xiaoxue's innocence."
"What exactly happened?" Lin Shu asked again.
"This young man, an educated youth, had been at the brigade for a few days. Somehow he got in touch with your father and kept coming to visit."
"Your father is a blind and confused man." Aunt Liang cursed.
Lin Shu was silent.
She can't just follow in the footsteps of her father-in-law.
"Your father said it's not easy for him as an educated youth to go to the countryside, so please help if you can."
"Who knew that we would help to bring out a Zhongshan wolf?" Aunt Liang raised her voice.
"That day he asked Xiaoxue to help lead the way. I thought it was not appropriate for a girl to go out alone with a grown man, right?"
"Yes." Lin Shu replied.
"Your father said that everything will be fine if we let Little Tiger come along."
Lin Shu frowned slightly.
"I think so, but," Aunt Liang began to blame herself, "I shouldn't have thought that way."
"Who would have thought that he would dare to push Xiaoxue into the river in broad daylight, and then yell and scream to attract people over, who finally hugged Xiaoxue and rescued her."
Hearing this, Lin Shu felt relieved. Fortunately, it wasn't the kind of thing where one would lose their innocence...
"He comes to our house every day now, saying he's Xiaoxue's savior. He hugs her and asks her to be his partner."
"Fuck her for saving my life." Aunt Liang said angrily.
"Have you gone to see the captain?" Lin Shu asked.
"We looked for it, but it was no use," Aunt Liang replied. "No one saw him pushing Xiaoxue at the time."
"We've scolded him and beaten him," Aunt Liang said weakly, "but he still comes to our house every day. We can't just beat him to death."
