His tone was weak and his voice was very hoarse, as if he was sick.
Chu Xuan looked in the direction of the voice. The woman was wearing a mask and he couldn't recognize her for a moment.
The woman took off her mask and then put it back on.
It’s Zhang Feifei.
Chu Xuan immediately greeted her with a smile, "Sister Feifei, long time no see. When do you plan to start ordering grilled fish fillets?"
Zhang Feifei warmly shook Chu Xuan's hand. "I guess you'll come over to get some Chinese medicine in the next few days. Coincidentally, I'm not feeling well and I'm here to get some too, otherwise I wouldn't be wearing a mask. I was just planning to ask my uncle to bring you a letter. The phone number you left me last time was smeared by my child. Could you please write me another one? Also, I need 50 kilograms of grilled fish fillets every day. Could you please ask someone to deliver it to the bus to the county town at 8 a.m.? My relative sells tickets on that bus."
In a month, that’s 1,500 kilograms.
Chu Xuan hadn't expected to receive another order after coming to the county town for medical treatment and prescription medicine, so he naturally agreed immediately. "No problem!"
Now that she has many people in her family, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to bake enough.
As for the job of delivering grilled fish fillets, you can give it to Uncle Qi. He will drive a horse-drawn carriage to the town every day. You can pay the rental fee and Uncle Qi will definitely do a good job.
I gave some of the fried peanuts in the backpack to Zhang Feifei.
What Chu Xuan didn't expect was that after getting the medicine and returning home, he fell ill that afternoon.
Develop a high fever.
Gao Meijuan and Qin Mahua, who worked at home, also fell ill.
Wang Depin brought a message that a woman named Zhang Feifei asked the nurse to call and say that she had a fever and was in the hospital, so the order for grilled fish fillets was temporarily cancelled.
Only then did Chu Xuan realize that he had been harmed by Zhang Feifei.
I was in a daze due to the fever, as if I was both asleep and awake. I seemed to hear Mu Chenze's voice, and also seemed to hear the sound of a tractor.
When she finally woke up, she found herself lying in a ward at the County Hospital.
There are three beds in the same ward, and the other two are occupied by Gao Meijuan and Qin Mahua.
Fu Qing and Miao Dacui are here to keep me company.
Considering that she had to deliver 1,500 kilograms of grilled fish fillets on the 25th, Chu Xuan insisted on being discharged from the hospital and going home to recuperate. Fu Qing and Miao Dacui could not stop her.
Just as she was about to leave the ward, Mu Chenze came over with the payment receipt.
When he heard that she was going to be discharged from the hospital, he ignored the differences between men and women and pulled her arm to stop her from leaving.
"Chu Xuan, don't you have any idea of your physical condition? My high fever just subsided, and I feel weak all over. The doctor said I need to be hospitalized for two days for observation. I can only be discharged if the fever doesn't recur."
Before Chu Xuan could say anything, Mu Chenze dragged her back to the hospital bed.
"Mu Chenze, I've received the deposit from Boss Hou, but I still haven't found the 1,500 kilograms of grilled fish fillets. And Feng Shuai has requested 300 kilograms..."
Mu Chenze interrupted directly, "Just rest assured and stay in the hospital. I'll take your Aunt Miao back. She, Xiao Feng and I will take turns grilling the fish fillets. I will make sure that all the goods you ordered are prepared!"
Chu Xuan was touched. "This will delay you from going to the city to earn money. Sister-in-law Fu Qing will be very tired taking care of the three of us alone."
Mu Chenze deliberately said, "Just give me some dividends. My sister-in-law can't take care of it, but there are still nurses, right?"
Having said that, Chu Xuan no longer refused. "As long as you're willing to take a share of the profits, I'll trouble you to help me. If you need me in the future, just let me know. And this time, Grandma Gao and Aunt Qin were implicated because of me..."
If she hadn't had contact with Zhang Feifei, she wouldn't have become so sick.
Gao Meijuan and Qin Mahua had just woken up and waved their hands to indicate that it was okay.
At this time, Doctor Zhang walked in with a gentle face. "Everyone gets sick. It just so happens that your immune systems are weak, which is why you get sick. The people who brought you three here are fine, aren't they? A cold and a high fever are very normal. Don't blame yourself, and don't worry. I'm here, and I guarantee you'll be back to full health in three days."
While talking, he took the pulse of each of the three girls, said he would go back to the office to adjust the prescription, and ask the nurse to deliver it in two hours.
Mu Chenze and Miao Dacui left with peace of mind.
Fu Qing had no problem taking care of the three of them alone, because hospitalization here didn't require injections, only Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and massage...
Zhang Feifei was in the ward next door. Doctor Zhang was busy taking the patient's pulse and prescribing medicine, so he asked the nurse to take care of her.
She is sicker than Chu Xuan and the other three, and currently has a high fever that won't go away.
The same cold and fever can manifest differently in different people.
Three days later, when Chu Xuan and the other two were fully recovered and discharged from the hospital, Zhang Feifei could barely get out of bed.
Liu Dapeng drove a tractor to pick them up. Mu Chenze didn't come because he was grilling fish fillets at Chu Xuan's house.
On the way back, even though the tractor was making a loud noise, it did not stop Gao Meijuan and the others from asking questions enthusiastically.
"Have the results of Qiu Zhi's injury test come out?"
"He's out. He wasn't hit by a car, but had a sprain and rheumatism. He was blackmailing someone and was locked up for education."
"How many pounds of grilled fish fillets have you produced in the past few days?"
"1,200 kilograms have been packed. We'll bake another 300 kilograms tomorrow. We'll definitely be able to deliver on time."
Chu Xuan was not completely reassured. It was not that she did not trust Mu Chenze and Miao Dacui, but she felt that the Qiu family would not let it go.
"How are the enemy's grilled fish fillets selling?"
"Not very good. I heard they were all sold at a low price. His family no longer plans to do this business."
"Is there any movement at his house?"
“Not found yet.”
…
On the morning of the 25th, Chu Xuan waited and waited, but Boss Hou's truck and driver did not show up.
It was not until Boss Hou called in the afternoon that Chu Xuan learned that Boss Hou's driver had been robbed on the way. Not only was the money for the goods stolen, but his arm was also injured. Chu Xuan had to hire a car to deliver the grilled fish fillets.
Chu Xuan’s first reaction was that it was done by the Qiu family.
But there is no evidence whatsoever.
That day, Chu Xuan hired Lin Yong's car to deliver goods to the city.
After the goods were delivered, Boss Hou not only paid the remaining payment, but also had to pay the transportation fee.
Chu Xuan firmly disagreed, saying that she would pay for the fare and also bought some nutritional supplements to visit the truck driver.
Maybe talking to the truck driver can reveal some useful clues.
When we arrived at the ward, we found out that the driver's Plum brand watch had been stolen. There were three people who robbed him. They were all over 1.75 meters tall, wearing patched clothes, and they smelled of fish. One of them stuttered.
Chu Xuan immediately thought of Qiu Zhi’s younger brother Qiu Xiang, who stuttered and was over 1.75 meters tall.
He immediately went to the city's security team to provide this clue.
When leaving the city, I still took Lin Yong's car.
It was completely dark.
Lin Yong drove carefully and did not try to speed. When he passed a forest outside the county town, a man suddenly jumped out and stopped his car.
Lin Yong was afraid of hitting someone, so he stepped on the brakes urgently.
Even so, the man was seen falling down and lying on the ground motionless.
Lin Yong felt uneasy, "This...will not cause death, right?"
If someone dies, you will have to pay all your compensation and may even be imprisoned.
Chu Xuan was puzzled. "At this distance, I shouldn't bump into anyone. Brother Lin, wait a minute before going down. Could he be trying to blackmail me?"
After her reminder, Lin Yong calmed down and said, "It's possible. But I still have to get out of the car to check it out. Can you please find a phone nearby and help me notify the public security team?"
It is better to settle it publicly than privately.
