Chapter 57 The Old House on Fire



Jiang Wanwan knows her craftsmanship and feels more confident after receiving recognition from men.

She had found snacks for sale at the black market before, without tickets, and the prices were one or two cents more expensive than at the supply and marketing cooperative.

This idea came to me when I went up the mountain that day and saw wild fruits and chestnuts all over the mountain.

However, she didn't dare to tell Lu Xiaoming about this. Given Lu Xiao's personality, he probably wouldn't allow her to sell things on the black market. He might even think that it was because of him that she had fallen to the point of reselling things on the black market.

Jiang Wanwan could feel that the man felt a little inferior and guilty in front of her, and she didn't want the step they had taken with such great difficulty to be brought back to square one.

The rain outside gradually subsided. Jiang Wanwan picked up some chestnut cakes and mung bean cakes, and also took a bucket of canned food and asked Lu's mother to deliver it.

She was still concerned about Professor Wu's condition. She had only given Wu Xiaoyu some antipyretic medicine last night. She didn't know if Professor Wu's fever had subsided. If the fever was caused by inflammation, taking only antipyretic medicine would not be of any use. Anti-inflammatory medicine would also be needed.

Thanks to three years of carelessness, her medicine box was full, especially those that reduced fever, relieved pain, and reduced inflammation and antivirals. If she hadn't come through by chance, most people would have let these medicines expire.

It’s embarrassing to say that she was on high alert at the time and didn’t even dare to leave the house, but she still got two bars on her hands.

I went to the pharmacy but couldn't buy even a single pill. After much trouble, I finally found some antipyretic pills from a friend.

So after the pharmacy caught up with the stock, she also bought a box of medicine.

I picked up a few amoxicillin pills and wrapped them in paper. I also took a few bags of Qingkailing granules and removed the packaging and wrapped them in paper.

When I was changing clothes, I discovered the red marks on my neck. They couldn't even be described as red marks.

Other people's families grow strawberries, but she grows cherries?

No wonder the man looked at her with a strange look in his eyes when he woke up in the morning. Was he feeling guilty?

The shirt collar couldn't cover it, so I found a high-necked inner layer. When I changed clothes, I found bruises and obvious finger marks on my waist.

Jiang Wanwan: “…”

An old man who has just started eating meat is really like an old house on fire.

…………

The cowshed is also on the edge of the village, not far from their home.

The rain had just stopped and the mountain road was muddy and slippery. No one would go out in such weather if they had nothing to do. The road was quiet and there was no one around.

When Jiang Wanwan arrived at the cowshed, Wu Xiaoyu was just coming out to pour water. Seeing her, she was surprised and delighted. "Jiang Zhiqing, why are you here? Come inside and sit down."

After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed. The conditions in the cowshed were really bad. The room was small and dark. Would Jiang Zhiqing dislike it?

Jiang Wanwan didn't want to talk to her outside. Even though there weren't many people around here, it wouldn't be nice if someone saw us, so she just followed her into the house.

The room was not big, with only two wooden beds and a tattered curtain in the middle.

A middle-aged man was lying on a wooden bed on one side. The reason why he was called a middle-aged man was that Jiang Wanwan guessed his age based on the description in the original text. In fact, the man looked much older. His hair on the temples was already gray, he wore a pair of glasses, and there was an abnormal blush on his face.

"Dad, this is Jiang Zhiqing. I asked Jiang Zhiqing for the medicine last night." Wu Xiaoyu explained to him.

Professor Wu was also surprised to see the newcomers. They had been in the Red Star Brigade for a long time. Although they also worked in the fields, the people in the village stayed away from them and would never come to their place.

When he heard that it was the person who gave him the medicine, he struggled to get up, but before he could sit up, he started coughing, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

Wu Xiaoyu quickly poured him a glass of water and explained to Jiang Wanwan, "My dad has been ill for a long time. He started out with just a cough, but it's gotten worse and worse. Sometimes he can't sleep all night. I tried to persuade him to go see the team leader, but he wouldn't listen. Then he suddenly developed a high fever a few days ago..."

At the end, I couldn't help but choke up.

"Are the antipyretics ineffective?" It was obvious that his fever had not subsided.

Wu Xiaoyu quickly shook her head. "It works. My dad was delirious with fever last night. I gave him two fever-reducing pills as you said. His fever subsided a little soon after he took the medicine. But he had a fever again this morning. He took the fever-reducing pills and it's not as severe anymore."

Professor Wu finally calmed down, patted Wu Xiaoyu's shoulder soothingly, and looked at Jiang Wanwan, "It's not as serious as she said. The fever-reducing medicine Jiang Zhiqing gave me is very effective. I know my body best. Thank you, Jiang Zhiqing. If it weren't for your medicine, I'm afraid I would have met my death."

"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Wu Xiaoyu's tears really fell this time.

Professor Wu smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with meeting the King of Hell. My old bones are a burden to you if I continue to live in this world. When I leave, you can go back too."

Wu Xiaoyu was demoted only because of his involvement. If it weren't for taking care of him and drawing a clear line between them in time, she could still have stayed in the city.

Wu Xiaoyu cried and shook her head, "Dad, you are my only relative. Can you bear to leave me alone? Are you at ease? Don't say such things again. I will follow you wherever you go. If you don't believe me, just try it."

Professor Wu knew his daughter wasn't just saying this casually. She had put him first over the years, more important than herself. He knew this in his heart and stopped talking to her about it. He changed the subject and said, "I was just saying it casually, and you're just making a fool of yourself by saying this."

Wu Xiaoyu then remembered that Jiang Wanwan was still there, and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, "I'm sorry, Jiang Zhiqing, please sit down, I'll go get you a glass of water."

Jiang Wanwan didn't want to stay long. "Don't worry, I just came to see Professor Wu and bring you some medicine."

She took out all the medicine and told Wu Xiaoyu which one to take and how to take it. "I'm not a doctor, and I'm not sure if these medicines will be effective. If possible, I'd better take Professor Wu to the hospital for a checkup."
