Taking this opportunity, Ruan Tang coaxed Ji Zhaodi back to the shore, and it happened that Ji Nanfeng and his brother came to pick them up.
Ruan Tang's lips turned white from the cold. Shivering, she asked Ji Nanfeng to quickly take Ji Zhaodi away from the river. "I'm fine. Take her home first and warm her up."
Ji Nanfeng's face was cold as he took off Ruan Tang's cotton-padded jacket, then his own military coat and wrapped Ruan Tang in it. He wrapped her up tightly before carrying her horizontally. "She has the courage to commit suicide, how can she not withstand this little bit of cold?"
Ji Nanfeng walked away with big strides. Ji Xiaodi also wanted to walk away. He was worried about whether his sister-in-law was okay.
As for Ji Zhaodi, although she was his cousin, he didn't know her at all. The four sisters from Aunt Jinhua's family only knew how to work and never sat at the table for meals. He had forgotten how long it had been since he had seen their faces.
However, he was still afraid that Ji Zhaodi would jump into the river again, and then her sister-in-law would have suffered in vain.
Halfway through the journey, Grandma Ji arrived with a large cotton-padded jacket and wrapped Ji Zhaodi up in a ball. "Why can't you just let it go?"
Grandma Ji brought the person back home, helped her change her wet clothes, and poured her some hot water.
Everyone in the village knew that Ji Zhaodi had jumped into the river, but Wu Jinhua's family didn't make a single move. Only Ji Songdi secretly brought Ji Zhaodi's clothes.
As for Ruan Tang, after being brought home by Ji Nanfeng with a sullen face, her wet clothes were taken off and she was stuffed into the quilt.
Ruan Tang's teeth were chattering with cold in the quilt. Ji Nanfeng, with a sullen face, stripped himself naked, got into the quilt and held Ruan Tang's frozen feet.
Ruan Tang struggled to pull her foot out, but Ji Nanfeng bit her finger gently, "If you want to get frostbite every year, put it back in."
"But, but there are so many people outside. It's not good for us to do this, it's not good." When Ruan Tang heard that Ji Zhaodi was brought back, the enthusiastic ladies all came to help.
If people were to see them locked in the house in broad daylight, they would probably be accused of being too affectionate and unrestrained.
Ji Nanfeng didn't care about all this and held Ruan Tang tightly in his arms, rubbing his hands up and down to keep her warm.
Ruan Tang was rubbed so hard by him that she felt ashamed and angry. His rough palms rubbed her buttocks, her back, and her vagina...
"Ji Nanfeng, let go, are you taking advantage of me?" Ruan Tang bit her lip, her whole body feeling hot and soft.
Ji Nanfeng's attitude was cold: "I'm not interested in Ruan Yingxiong."
Looking at Ji Nanfeng's sour face, Ruan Tang knew that he was angry, and she didn't dare to make him angry again. She could only let him rub her and grit her teeth to not let herself make a sound.
Ruan Tang buried her face in Ji Nanfeng's arms, listening to the thumping of Ji Nanfeng's heartbeat, which was as loud as the beating of a drum.
Humph, you’re pretending to be so cool.
mock up.
After Ruan Tang warmed up, Ji Nanfeng got up and went out to bring some ginger and brown sugar water to ward off the cold.
That night, Ji Zhaodi did not return home, and no one from Wu Jinhua's family came to pick her up.
Ruan Tang was forced to lie in bed for a whole day and felt her back was stiff. She got up quickly in the morning without waiting for Ji Nanfeng to get up.
When I went out, I found Ji Zhaodi already standing in the corridor.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Ji Zhaodi nodded, not daring to look at Ruan Tang. "Third sister-in-law, was what you said yesterday true?"
"It's almost right." Ruan Tang was confident that she wouldn't be wrong on this point.
Ji Zhaodi rubbed his hands together non-stop, having not slept all night. "Third sister-in-law, you are a capable person. What do you think I should do? My mother will definitely not let me give birth to Brother Jiang's child."
What Ruan Tang disliked most was people like Ji Zhaodi who were like dough. After giving her advice for a long time, she turned around and was no better than his mother giving him a slap and a date.
"If you're asking Dr. Ruan, I can only say that doctors only treat patients. If you're asking Third Sister-in-law, then I'm not qualified to give you any advice."
"You're only ten years old. You still have a long life ahead of you. No one can make decisions for your life. Only you can make them. Even if you regret it in this life, you can grit your teeth and move on."
Ji Zhaodi stopped talking and went home after having breakfast.
After a while, Wu Jinhua came cursing and asked Ruan Tang for abortion pills.
Ruan Tang didn't have any medicine, so she asked her to take Ji Zhaodi to the hospital for a check-up, as having an abortion privately would be risky.
Wu Jinhua rolled her eyes. "You owe me a dime, and you still want to go to the hospital? No way."
Not long after, Grandma Ji came back to say that a bachelor in his forties had come to Wu Jinhua's house to meet Ji Zhaodi for a blind date. Wu Jinhua accepted the betrothal gift of 15 cents on the spot.
"What a sin! Zhu Jiang's funeral was just held today, and this guy is already engaged. No matter what, keeping vigil for seven days can be considered as fulfilling the friendship."
Grandma Ji shook her head and didn't want to mention Wu Jinhua's family anymore. This matter was too embarrassing for the Ji family.
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and because of a series of incidents, I haven’t even bought any New Year’s goods.
"Ruan Zhiqing, have you bought your New Year's goods? Do you want to come with me?"
Hu Jianshe's wife, Liu Weifang, held her belly and called out at the gate. "There's a tractor going to the city. Let's go together."
Ruan Tang agreed and turned to go into the house to get the money.
"Little brother, what do you want to eat?"
Ji Xiaodi was clamoring for meat and candy, but before he could finish, Ji Nanfeng lashed out. "You're going to the county to attend junior high school next year, and you still want candy? Do you think you can achieve anything?"
Little Brother Ji covered his head and stuck out his tongue, then turned towards Ruan Tang with a pitiful and aggrieved look.
Ruan Tang secretly made a gesture of receipt, and Ji Xiaodi immediately smiled.
Ji Nanfeng's face turned green as he watched this unpleasant scene. He was furious for a whole day and night, yet Ruan Tang didn't even come to comfort him.
Ruan Tang took the iron box out of the cabinet and turned around to see Ji Nanfeng coming.
"You've put all your energy into saving people, hiding the money in the closet. Are you afraid someone might not be able to steal it?"
Ji Nanfeng lifted the mattress and fiddled with the bed board, and a secret compartment popped out.
"You can put your money here in the future to protect it from fire and moisture."
Ruan Tang nodded, handed the iron box to Ji Nanfeng, turned around and ran away, without even glancing at him.
When Ruan Tang came out carrying a basket, two young wives were already standing beside Liu Weifang.
One is Zhang Xiaohua, the daughter-in-law of Dong Lao'er, who lives at the back door of the Ji family, and the other is Jiang Xiuli, the sister-in-law of Liu Weifang.
Both of them are new brides who married into Qingyun Brigade in the past two years. Because their husband's family has many sons, they separated from the family early and could be the head of the family. In addition, their parents' family is well-off, so the three of them often make appointments to go to the county together to buy things.
"Ruan Zhiqing is here, let's go. The tractor should be at the village entrance by now."
This feeling was new to Ruan Tang. In her previous life, she married into the Xu family. Xu Li controlled the housekeeping power, and Xu Yan usually clung to her closely. They always went out together, and she rarely went out alone.
Going out with my young wife of my age seems to be - not bad.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they saw Du Xueqing and several educated youth also carrying baskets on their backs and waiting for the tractor.
The educated youth hadn't seen Ruan Tang for a long time. When they saw Ruan Tang again, they chatted and laughed with the young wives in the village, and greeted her in a somewhat unfamiliar manner.
Ruan Tang also replied one by one, and then listened with great interest to Liu Weifang talking about being picky during pregnancy.
Du Xueqing let out a long sigh, "Ah, Tangtang is really... self-indulgent. She's blending in with the country folk so quickly. Does she plan to never return to the city?"
The educated youth also thought that Ruan Tang was too confused. Being forced to marry was one thing, but it would be difficult to extricate herself from the country people after becoming too involved.
These days, Ruan Tang first became a barefoot doctor, and could earn ten work points without going to the fields. People with such easy jobs were envied.
After that, predicting a mudslide, saving a life from the hands of the devil, and saving someone in the river, it was even harder for them to accept that Ruan Tang had become so dazzling. After all, Ruan Tang worked mediocrely at the educated youth camp, and it was in vain that Xu Yan took a fancy to her. The work points she earned each year were not enough to cover her food, and she relied entirely on her family for support.
