Zhang Guocai held the cup and took a sip of water. He was so afraid of the pain that he didn't even dare to swallow.
But this water is very cool and has a hint of sweetness. Not only does my throat not feel painful, it actually feels a little comfortable.
Could it be that this licorice tablet really worked and relieved his pain?
Zhang Guocai, who had originally planned to drink only a sip of water, took the initiative to hold the enamel cup and gulped down a few big gulps.
This time, drinking water did not affect the wound at all. As he drank more and more water, his whole body became warm and the wounds on his body did not hurt as much.
His brain, which had been groggy just now, seemed to have become clearer. It was as if there was a knockout drug in the water. After drinking it, his eyelids drooped and he felt sleepy.
Zhang Guocai didn't even think that his niece would harm him.
He drank a glass of water in one breath, and then without even saying goodbye, he lay down on the bed and started snoring.
He fell asleep in just a short while!
Jiang Li took the cup from his uncle's hand, but he didn't expect that his uncle treated the cup as a treasure and held it tightly. Jiang Li had to use all his strength to pry open his fingers and take it away.
Jiang Li bent down and tucked the corner of the quilt for his uncle before getting up and leaving.
The reason why my uncle was hurt like this was because of something happening in her family. If my uncle hadn't been at the forefront today and delayed precious time, the two children would have probably been taken away before she came back.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt a wave of fear. How could he stop his aunt's family from thinking about him?
Unless she takes the initiative to invite Shen Changan to come over and let him see the two children with his own eyes, and let her cousin's family know about this matter, she can completely put their minds at ease.
This is easier said than done, and Jiang Li needs to coordinate with multiple parties if he wants to do it well.
In the past, she didn't accept Shen Changan coming here psychologically, and she had never thought about it. Now, for the safety of the children, she had to take the initiative to attack him.
Didn't Shen Changan say that he would only give her three days to think? Then wait for him to come to visit her home in person, and then let him see his two sons.
Although the two children have eyebrows and eyes like him, they have not grown up after all. It is a bit far-fetched to say that they look exactly like him. Shen Changan may not recognize them.
Jiang Li figured this out and no longer felt conflicted.
The weather today was strange. It rained heavily during the day, but it stopped around four in the afternoon. By the time the children got out of school, there was only a drizzle left.
Jiang Yi, who had been worried about how to get home, was delighted when he saw the rain had subsided after school.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that Teacher Shen actually took a leave in the afternoon. He originally had a class in the afternoon, but now his class was switched with another teacher. It was a pity that he didn't get to hear Teacher Shen's lecture.
The weather is bad today and everyone is worried that it will rain soon. Most people in the classroom have left except for a few who are cleaning.
Jiang Yi packed his schoolbag and prepared to go home. As soon as he stood up, he saw the usually calm teacher Shen rushing over in a hurry.
"Teacher Shen! Didn't you ask for leave? Why are you here again this afternoon?"
"I came here after I finished my work. I also brought you a pair of wellies. Try them on to see if they fit you."
Shen Changan opened the cloth bag, and a pair of brand new rain boots appeared in front of him.
The rain boots were black, and the black was a bit shiny. They looked not cheap. Jiang Yi remembered his sister's instructions and refused to accept them.
"Thank you so much, Teacher Shen. I really don't need these rain boots. Please return them."
My sister told me that these rain boots are very high-end and cannot be bought even if you have money. Even if Teacher Shen can't return them and sells them, there will definitely be many people willing to pay a high price for them.
"This pair of rain boots was brought back to me by my friend in the provincial capital. There's no place to return them, and I can't ask him to return them. If you don't like the things I gave you, just throw them away for me. There's no reason for me, Shen Changan, to take back the things I gave away."
Shen Changan put down his shoes and turned to leave. His expression was not very good when he left. He was probably a little angry with him.
"Teacher Shen..."
Jiang Yi was anxious. Such good shoes happened to be his size, so he definitely couldn't bear to throw them away, but if he kept them, they would be too expensive.
"Teacher Shen, I accepted it, don't be angry!"
Jiang Yi really had no choice but to compromise. This was Teacher Shen's kindness and his care for his students.
Teacher Shen has already said this much, if he still refuses, he would be really ungrateful.
Jiang Yi put on his shoes obediently and put away the yellow running shoes on his feet.
Shen Changan came to the corner and saw the stubborn boy wearing the shoes he gave him. A smile finally appeared on his face.
"You little brat, you may be smart at studying, but you're still young after all. You're no match for me if you try to go around in circles like this."
Shen Changan was very happy that he had successfully tricked Jiang Yi again and gave him a pair of rain boots worth 15 yuan.
However, rain boots are really hard to buy in Baiyun Town. He even had some connections there but still couldn't buy any. In the end, he had to call back and ask his friends in the provincial capital to buy them from the department store there.
Jiang Yi stepped on the mud in his new rain boots, and the mud on his shoes quickly slipped down the smooth slope.
He tried it again and again, and his steps made a lot of noise. He was really happy to be able to step on water and go home with his eyes closed on a rainy day.
Although the mountain road was muddy and slippery with every step, Jiang Yi still supported himself with two sticks and walked back home with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Sister, uncle, I'm back."
Jiang Yi didn't know what had happened at home. He shouted loudly as soon as he came back.
"Jiang Yi, come to my sister's room."
Jiang Yi walked in excitedly, and Jiang Li noticed the new rain boots on his feet at a glance.
"Is this what the mysterious person put in your drawer?"
Jiang Yi shook his head and recounted the story of how Teacher Shen forced him to give him the shoes.
"Sister, I didn't do what you asked. I accepted Teacher Shen's things. Am I not a good brother in your eyes?"
Jiang Yi asked with a look of grievance, shrinking his neck. Jiang Li pulled his arm and pulled him in front of her.
Jiang Yi sat down on the edge of the bed, his hand shrinking slightly. He was scared when he thought about the scene where his sister took his hand and handed him over to the human traffickers.
"Who said that? You're my best brother. I take back what I said before."
"What do you mean, sister?"
Jiang Yi actually knew it in his heart, but he just wanted his sister to say it in person.
“What I mean is that in the future, if Shen Changan gives you something, you should accept it without hesitation, and even saying a polite word to him will be redundant.”
"Sister, you are still blaming me in your heart, right?" Jiang Yi always felt that his sister was speaking in a sarcastic way, and the more he listened, the more anxious he became.
