Chapter 253: Suffering Setbacks
Chu Xuan said as he made the bed, "He probably doesn't know."
Mu Chenze helped her make the bed and finished it quickly.
"If he knew, he wouldn't poison our family, right?"
"I feel his mother could do such a thing, but he wouldn't. After all, he and Liang Shi don't have any feelings for each other."
Mu Chenze believed in his wife's intuition and stopped talking about this topic because he had more important things to do...
The next day, when Chu Xuan woke up, there was no one beside him. He called Chen Ze several times, but no one answered.
After a while, her mother-in-law came over and said, "Xiao Ze went to your mother's yard early in the morning and said that you were going to make seaweed rolls, so he went there in advance to clean up."
Chu Xuan felt warm in her heart. Her husband always thought ahead to everything. "Mom, has Chen Ze had breakfast?"
"Not yet. I told you to get up and wash up, then bring him food."
"good."
After getting up and washing up, Chu Xuan carried breakfast for two people in a lunch box and walked towards her mother's yard.
When we were almost there, we found that someone was digging the foundation every ten meters or so.
Anyone who draws the land here chooses to build a new house here.
However, the weather is getting colder, so we can only lay the foundation. If we really want to build it completely, we have to wait until next spring.
Anyone who sees Chu Xuan will take the initiative to say hello.
Chu Xuan responded one by one with a smile on his face.
When I arrived at my mother's yard, I saw Mu Chenze washing several large wooden basins and backpacks.
Chu Xuan asked him to have breakfast first.
As soon as he saw his wife, Mu Chenze was inexplicably happy, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at his wife.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but think of the scene last night. Her face turned red and she cursed herself inwardly. What was she thinking about in broad daylight?
Mu Chenze seemed to see what his wife was thinking and whispered, "Wife, I really want the sun to set soon..."
Chu Xuan's face flushed with embarrassment...
Now Fu Ping is no longer working here. Under Chu Xuan's persuasion, she enrolled in a daytime cram school in the county town and prepared to take the college entrance examination next year.
This time, the seaweed roll experiment requires help, so it’s not convenient to call Fu Ping over, so Chu Xuan and her husband have to do it themselves.
If you are really too busy, call Grandma Gao to help.
As for Mou Xing, she had no time to come and help because she was arranged by Wang Depin to work in the village factory, in charge of grilling small yellow croaker and seaweed.
After breakfast, they continued to work.
Mu Chenze boiled some hot water in advance to wash the wooden basin, backpack, etc. so that his hands wouldn't get cold.
After washing everything that needed to be washed and hanging them in the yard, Mu Chenze rode his tricycle to the village factory to buy seaweed.
This time, when developing seaweed rolls, we don’t have to worry about raw materials, as the village-run factory will take care of everything.
When we get there, we'll take as much as the tricycle can hold.
When he was about to leave, Wang Depin pulled him aside to talk.
"Chen Ze, I heard that your family took in Chu Chuanbei?"
Mu Chenze spoke truthfully, "That's right."
"Something happened in his family?"
"Something did happen. Grandpa Wang, don't worry. The village-run factory invited him to that meal, and it definitely wasn't in vain. Once he gets through this difficult time, he'll continue to cooperate with our village-run factory in the future."
Mu Chenze believed that it wouldn't be long before Chu Chuanbei would return to his adoptive father.
With Mu Chenze's assurance, Wang Depin felt much more at ease and watched him leave.
He returned to his wife and said while unloading the seaweed, "I guess Chu Chuanbei must be vomiting so much that he's lost his mind by now, right?"
Chu Xuan nodded in agreement, also pessimistic.
At this moment, Chu Chuanbei was half lying in the cabin with a pale face.
Mu Chenfu sighed as he drove the boat. "Why are you coming out here in such a cold weather? Isn't this torture? Are you about to vomit bile?"
Chu Chuanbei pulled his cotton coat closer and said weakly, "I'm just anxious to make money. Who would have thought I'd get so seasick... Ugh..."
Mu Chenfu hurriedly shouted, "Don't vomit in the cabin, spit outside."
Chu Chuanbei suppressed the churning in his stomach, ran out of the cabin, held onto the railing, and vomited into the sea.
As luck would have it, a wave hit him and he lost his balance and fell into the sea.
“Help! Help…”
Mu Qinlao, who was sorting fish, heard the noise and immediately called his eldest son to stop the boat and save people.
It was a little after ten-thirty in the morning. Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze had just put the rolled seaweed into the oven when Qin Mahua's anxious voice came from outside the courtyard gate. "Xiao Ze, go home first. I'll help you here."
As he spoke, he walked into the yard.
Mu Chenze walked out of the kitchen and asked, "What happened at home?"
Qin Mahua shook her head gently. "Nothing happened at home. It was the young man you took in who had an accident. He fell into the sea while seasick and vomiting, and was rescued by your eldest brother. He has a fever now. I suggest you take him to the hospital in town or the county by bike, in case he gets seriously ill from the fever."
Mu Chenze looked worried. "My father and elder brother must have caught a cold while rescuing people. They don't have a fever, right?"
"Not yet. I made some ginger and brown sugar water for the three of them. Your father and your eldest brother are sweating, but the young man isn't sweating. It seems his condition is even worse. Anyway, you should hurry home and take him to the hospital!"
Qin Mahua doesn't want anything bad to happen to the guests in her home.
Chu Xuan walked out of the kitchen, nodded at Mu Chenze, and signaled him to go quickly.
Mu Chenze nodded and rode away on his tricycle.
Qin Mahua and Chu Xuan went into the kitchen, each looking after a baking oven. After adding charcoal to the fire, they chatted when they had nothing to do.
"Xiao Xuan, I heard from your eldest brother that after Chu Chuanbei got on the boat, he didn't get seasick at first and even helped to sort out the fishing nets. But after a net of fish was brought on board, he vomited uncontrollably..."
Chu Xuan speculated, "Perhaps the fishy smell is the cause of his vomiting."
"Whether it's seasickness or the smell of fish that caused him to vomit, your eldest brother said he won't take him on a boat again. I'm not afraid of losing money, but I'm afraid of losing someone's life. It was very dangerous today, and he almost got eaten by a shark."
"After what happened, he probably wouldn't dare get on a fishing boat again."
"Xiao Xuan, how about I talk to the village chief and arrange a sales position for him in the village factory?"
"No need. We can't let him live too comfortably, otherwise he will stay in our house and won't leave."
"I heard he has no home. If our family doesn't take him in, where can he go?"
"Let him experience some ups and downs here, then he'll realize how good his old home was and learn to cherish it."
Only if he truly knows how to cherish him will Chu Zhenlin accept him again.
Qin Mahua immediately understood Xiaoxuan's intention. "Then when he gets better, I'll talk to the village chief and arrange a job for him as a fish butcher."
"That's a good idea."
Aren't you allergic to the smell of fish?
Then be more sensitive.
Only when you suffer all kinds of setbacks here will you remember the good life you had before.
At this moment, Mu Chenze was riding a tricycle to take the unconscious Chu Chuanbei to the Chaozhen Hospital.
I could vaguely hear his voice.
"Get away from me! It's a shark! I don't want to be eaten by a shark! Help! Help!"
Mu Chenze shouted at him, "The shark has been driven away, it's safe! We've already reached the shore. I'll take you to the hospital for a fever-reducing injection. Get a good night's sleep and you'll be fine."
I thought that after comforting him, he would stop talking nonsense.
But after arriving at the town hospital and receiving a fever-reducing injection, he continued to talk nonsense, "A shark is going to eat me! Help! Drive it away! Help! I don't want to die..."
After seeing this, the doctor made a special trip to find Mu Chenze and suggested, "Take him to the psychiatric department of the county hospital!"
