"Stop following me. I'm not going to tell you where I bought it. If you find out, wouldn't that just benefit your son?"
With his character, does he even deserve to eat meat? We've already fallen out, so let's not argue anymore; it's pointless.
After saying those harsh words, Xiao Jiu lowered her head to wash the dishes and stopped responding to Wu Dahua's words.
Wu Dahua said a lot of nice things, but it had no effect whatsoever, and she was even humiliated by being ignored by a younger person.
In the end, he could only stomp his feet in frustration and go home to cook. As for what to cook, being able to eat radishes and cabbage would be considered a decent meal.
After Zhou Yue finished eating, he lay down. The brother and sister chatted for a while, and then they felt that something was wrong with his body.
By the time the Wang family was evacuated, Zhou Yue had developed a low-grade fever, which escalated to a high fever around 7 or 8 p.m.
When she went home to cook in the afternoon, she had already left a letter for Tang Cuiju, without telling her which hospital it was, just in case she came over.
She's young, so it's fine for her to stay here and take care of things. But Tang Cuiju is a grown woman, so it's not appropriate for her to stay and look after her.
"Look, I told you to be hospitalized and you still said you were fine. It's the dead of winter, how could you be fine?"
Luckily, you didn't lose any of your documents. I took them to the guesthouse and explained the situation, and they were willing to give me a refund.
I've taken your clothes home (to my spatial dimension), washed them, and hung them up to dry. Get well soon before you go back.
"You have to go to school tomorrow. I'm fine. There are nurses here. It's so cold outside. Staying up all night would be too much of a hardship. Besides, I've already had a fever-reducing injection."
She ate too much and too well in the afternoon, and Zhou Yue had a high fever in the evening and really couldn't eat anything, so Xiao Jiu cut her an apple for dinner.
"The doctors all said you're in good physical condition, unlike the one who was rescued, who got pneumonia right away. He deserved it!"
Xiao Jiu went to the water room to get water and overheard two nurses talking there, which made her extremely happy.
"Alright, there's no need to worry about them so much. I'm fine except for a slightly elevated temperature. You should go back now!"
Looking at the sky outside, he was still a little worried.
"I came by bike, it's no trouble, brother. You can rest first. I've left the thermos here for you. Drink some water if you get thirsty tonight."
Xiao Jiu kept nagging and giving instructions. Before leaving, she went to the nurses' station and gave each of the nurses on duty that night a few milk candies and an apple, asking them to take care of her brother.
"Don't worry, girl, this is what we should do. You can go back now. He's in good health, he'll probably be lively and energetic again tomorrow."
After leaving the hospital, Xiao Jiu rode her bike home, packed her things, and asked Tang Cuiju to take her to school before evening self-study ended.
"Sis, please go to the hospital early tomorrow morning and bring some porridge to my brother. I'll buy some lunch from school and bring it to him at noon."
"Oh my god, don't worry about these things while you're at school. I'll deliver it to them this morning and noon. Maybe they'll be discharged tomorrow."
"Luckily he hasn't bought a ticket yet. It's fine if he stays in the hospital for a couple of days. I'll ask for leave for an unimportant class tomorrow."
Although she missed the afternoon entry time, the gatekeeper, seeing that she arrived at school so late, not only let her in but also asked Tang Cuiju to help her carry all her things to the dormitory.
After Cuiju helped clean up, she remembered, "I'll try to go ask the junior high school section when I have some free time tomorrow."
"Right now, it seems only the third year of junior high is having classes. You can go a few days later, sis."
After Cuiju left, Xiaojiu noticed that there seemed to be an extra person in the dormitory bed.
"Oh dear, could it be Hara-en?"
She had just returned to school and had a ton of stuff to unpack. After she finished tidying up and had just prepared hot water for everyone in the dorm, she heard the bell ring for the end of get out of class. Soon after, everyone returned to the dorm, shrugging their necks and calling out as they went.
"Wow, why is the wind so strong tonight? Is the weather about to change again?"
As soon as she saw the dormitory door open a crack, Pang Weiwei's excited voice rang out.
"Oh my gosh, our little one is back!"
As soon as they opened the door, Xiao Jiu gave them a bear hug, saying, "Sisters, did you miss me?!"
Gao Mingxia pinched her cheek: "Look at you, you haven't gained a single ounce of weight over the New Year."
"How can you gain weight if you don't eat meat? You guys are the same, none of you have gained any weight."
After Peng Juan came in, before she could exchange a few pleasantries, she heard Yuan Yuan's delighted voice coming from outside.
"Peach, you're back! I should have come to find you and we could go to school together."
"Even if you come looking for me, I might not be home. You have no idea how unlucky I've been today. Come in, come in and sit down. It's so cold standing at the door!"
Before telling her own story, Xiaojiu also introduced Yuanyuan, explaining how the two met and why she moved into their dormitory under the guise of being cousins.
"It's enough that everyone knows about this, so that the people in the other dorm won't overthink it."
"Don't worry, Tao'er, it'll be more lively with one more person. Tell us what happened to you."
Xiao Jiu handed out a few candies and a handful of melon seeds to everyone, and then spent more than ten minutes recounting what had happened that day.
After hearing this, they were all furious.
"Pah, there are actually people like that? I saw a boy bringing Yang Xinyue to school this afternoon."
Xiao Jiu said rationally, "To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with Yang Xinyue. Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable being harassed by such a thing? In fact, she is the most unlucky one. I don't know how long she has been harassed and her reputation has been ruined like this."
Although Wang Xincheng didn't say it directly this time, his move undoubtedly put Yang Xinyue in a very difficult position.
They did nothing wrong, yet they face attacks from all sides; it's an undeserved disaster.
Judging from how things are developing, the news hasn't reached the school yet, but secrets can't be kept forever, and it will spread sooner or later.
"I need to find some time to ask for leave tomorrow to visit my brother in the hospital. Can you guys take notes for me?"
Since everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, they chatted away until 10:30 p.m. before finally falling asleep.
The bell rang before 5 a.m. the next day. At 5 a.m. sharp, everyone gathered on the playground to start morning exercises. It had been a long time since I had suffered like this. The cold wind was blowing early in the morning, and all the students looked pale and were complaining and in great pain.
"The New Year isn't even over yet, and they've already come back to experience this hellish life. It's simply outrageous."
"We're only in our first year of high school. What will we do in our second year? Will we be living a life of utter despair every day?"
"Using your brain like this every day, are you sure you won't turn into an idiot?"
"Still a fool who can't get enough to eat."
Everyone: "..." fell silent.
On the way back to the classroom, Xiao Jiu pulled Yuan Yuan a few steps slower: "Have you completely settled things with your family? What about tuition and living expenses?"
