Hearing this, not only the three little ones, but even Zhou Jing'an was a little surprised: "How do you know that Xiao Sibao has caught a cold?"
Ning Huan rolled her eyes and thought, "I've seen doctors treat patients in our village who have caught a cold before, so I know what it's like to have a cold."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sanbao stopped crying and asked, "Then where did you get the medicine for Xiao Sibao to drink?"
Ning Huan found it quite amusing that the little dumpling in front of her even knew to ask where the medicine came from. It seemed she truly was the child of a major villain; intelligence was ingrained in his genes.
“This morning when I went out, I saw some herbs for treating colds by the roadside, so I picked them and wanted to brew them for my fourth child.”
This statement doesn't hold up to scrutiny. She clearly only went to see Xiao Sibao in the evening, so how could she have gone to collect herbs for treating colds in the morning?
Fortunately, the three little ones didn't think too much about it and ran to the kitchen to see if Ning Huan had really brewed medicine for her fourth sister.
Just as Zhou Jing'an felt that something was wrong, three little dumplings rushed in, interrupting his thoughts, and said, "Dad, that bad woman really made the medicine!"
"There's hope for the little four babies!"
Seeing the three little ones so happy, Zhou Jing'an stopped thinking about it, but he was still very puzzled by Ning Huan's behavior.
She cares for the four babies, cooks for them, brews medicine for them, and there's this mysterious power about her. What tricks is this woman up to this time?
At the dinner table, the three little ones looked at the fragrant food and couldn't believe that it was made by a bad woman, nor did they dare to eat it.
But seeing Ning Huan already eating heartily, he swallowed hard.
Ning Huan looked at the three little dumplings hesitating to touch their chopsticks and said helplessly, "Eat up, this is all for you."
Hearing the wicked woman say that, the three little ones finally dared to pick up their chopsticks.
The two little ones picked up a bite of stir-fried vegetables and exclaimed in surprise as soon as they put it in their mouths.
This is so delicious!
How could such a bad woman cook such delicious food!
Ning Huan was secretly pleased with herself. As a renowned food blogger, she could make even the most ordinary stir-fried vegetables and scrambled eggs with tomatoes incredibly delicious.
The simpler the dish, the better it tastes; that's true skill and talent hidden in the background.
Not only did the three little dumplings eat with relish, but even the fierce-looking Zhou Jing'an ate quite a lot more because the food was delicious.
After finishing her meal, Ning Huan took the food and the medicine she had prepared to find Xiao Sibao.
Xiao Sibao fainted because he had been sick for several days and had no medicine or even food.
Ning Huan woke up the four little ones to eat. She was terrified, but the other three little ones insisted that the four little ones could eat, so she wolfed down her food.
But after eating, Ning Huan felt that Xiao Sibao had a fever.
After giving the medicine to Xiao Sibao, I told her, "You've caught a cold. Drink this medicine and go sleep in the front yard. This thatched hut is cold; how can you get better if you sleep here?"
When the three little ones heard Ning Huan say that, they clapped their hands happily and said, "Great! Little Sibao can continue to live with us."
Because of illness, Xiao Sibao slept alone in a cold and dark thatched hut for many days.
Ning Huan shook her head: "You can't sleep together. Xiao Sibao has a bad cold, and if you're together, he'll catch it from you too."
Hearing this, the four little ones lowered their heads and said somewhat dejectedly, "There's nowhere else to sleep at home. Fourth Sister can't sleep with us, so she'll have to sleep in this thatched hut."
Ning Huan frowned, then recalled that the room she slept in was the largest in the house, and even her bed was the largest and most comfortable.
Then she might as well let the little baby sleep with her; she can take care of the little baby then.
"Come sleep in my room, there's enough room for me. It'll also be convenient for me to treat you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sibao shrank back in fright: "I...I dare not..."
The bad woman beats and scolds her all the time, how could she dare to live with her? If she were beaten to death, she would have nowhere to run.
Hearing this, the three little ones looked at Xiao Sibao with concern and said, "We're not afraid of getting infected, so let Xiao Sibao live with us."
Ning Huan shook her head and said, "No, you can't live together. Go to my room."
Xiao Sibao was so frightened by these words that he almost cried.
Ning Huan sighed and said, "Don't worry, I won't hit you. I really want to treat your illness. Go to my room to sleep in a bit."
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Xiao Sibao had no choice but to nod. She was afraid that the bad woman would get angry and beat her up before she could rest at night.
After drinking the medicine Ning Huan brewed for her, Xiao Sibao actually felt much better. It seems the wicked woman really is healing herself.
The three little ones ran to Zhou Jing'an to complain, saying that the bad woman insisted on having Xiao Sibao sleep with her, and they were afraid that the bad woman would beat Xiao Sibao.
Seeing the three little ones looking worried, Zhou Jing'an comforted them, "Don't worry, Dad is a light sleeper. If she dares to hit Xiao Sibao, I'll definitely hear it, and I won't let her off the hook."
Hearing this, the three little ones finally felt relieved.
That evening, Ning Huan was utterly exasperated to see Xiao Sibao spreading the bedding on the floor.
She picked up the bedding and placed it on the bed. She originally wanted to put it next to herself, but Ning Huan was worried that Xiao Sibao would be afraid of her hitting her, so she put it a little further away from her.
After a busy day, Ning Huan finally rested. Before she could think too much, she drifted off to sleep.
In her dream, Ning Huan saw Zhou Jing'an.
Unlike the sickly Zhou Jing'an she saw today, the Zhou Jing'an in her dream was extremely noble, with all the civil and military officials bowing to him. However, he looked at her fiercely and said, "Guards, turn this poisonous woman into a human pig and throw her into the Hundred Poisons Pool."
The Hundred Poison Pool was actually composed of hundreds of poisonous creatures, including venomous snakes and scorpions.
Those things were tearing at her body, causing her great pain, but because she had been turned into a human pig, she couldn't even scream.
Ning Huan screamed in fright, "No!"
She then woke up from her dream.
She was breathing heavily, her body covered in cold sweat. The scenes and feelings in her dream felt so real, as if she had experienced them herself.
Last night's dream made Ning Huan start to rethink Zhou Jing'an's identity. Don't be fooled by his current sickly appearance; he will be the biggest villain in this book in the future, and even the protagonist had to go through a lot of trouble to get rid of him.
What ability do I have to fight this major villain? Does she even know the plot?
However, the early part of the book doesn't go into much detail about how Zhou Jing'an later succeeded.
Everyone knew that the first thing Zhou Jing'an, the top scholar, did upon taking office was to turn himself into a human pig.
Thinking of this, Ning Huan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
