To be honest, Yang Wanqiu's acting skills are a bit exaggerated. After all, it's been more than half a month, and she hasn't even left the ground to recuperate. Even changing her dressings is done by the village health worker who comes to her door.
Of course, Yang Wanqiu also paid for the medic to come to her home to change her dressings, in order to heal her wound as well as possible without leaving any sequelae.
So most people wouldn't believe that her wound had really reopened when they saw her like this.
But the blind Wang Wenfang believed it, dropped the twig she was holding, squatted down next to Yang Wanqiu, and asked anxiously, "Sister Wanqiu, what happened to you? Did you accidentally bump your wound while walking? What should we do? Why don't you wait here for a while, and I'll go find my brother to take you home."
Yang Wanqiu was somewhat self-aware of her acting skills, but this fool in front of her was actually quite good. If she brought someone else over, she might be exposed. So she quickly reached out and grabbed Wang Wenfang, shaking her head with a pained expression, and said, "Wenfang, don't bother your brother. You know, Zhong Lingling gets upset if any woman even glances at your brother. Besides, she already has a problem with you. If you come to help me now, she might cause you more trouble."
Wenfang, I don't want to put you in a difficult position because of me, so let's just forget about it. I'm fine, I'll be alright after resting for a while. It's just that I'm afraid this trip was for nothing.
As she spoke, Yang Wanqiu looked at the few lonely branches at her feet and muttered to herself with a troubled expression.
Wang Wenfang knew Zhong Lingling's temper; whenever it came to her brother, she was incredibly petty. Coupled with what happened that morning, she was genuinely hesitant to confront Zhong Lingling at this time. So, she went along with it, saying, "That's true, but Sister Wanqiu, these few branches aren't enough for you to burn. Why don't I help you gather firewood? Anyway, my brother and she are gathering firewood over there, so a few more won't make a difference."
These days, who would complain about having too much firewood? Besides, Yang Wanqiu's purpose in doing this was to get Wang Wenfang to help her gather firewood. So, she quickly smiled gratefully and shook Wang Wenfang's hand, saying, "How could I accept this, Wenfang? If you ask me, your brother and Zhong Lingling really don't know how to cherish what they have. If I had a sensible sister like you, I would spoil you rotten and wouldn't be able to bear leaving you all alone."
"What's the big deal? It's just a few pieces of firewood. It's not a big deal. Sister Wanqiu, you just wait here. I'll go get some firewood for you right away."
As she spoke, Wang Wenfang became even more enthusiastic than before, starting to rummage through the fallen branches and dry grass.
