Chapter 33 Never to See My Sister-in-Law Again
The doctor was even more confused by Zhou Jiuzhen's statement.
He lost consciousness the first time he met his in-laws.
Even if Zhou Jiuzhen's mouth could drive nails, it wouldn't be enough to nail someone like this!
His mouth was swollen to the size of a sausage.
The doctor lifted the blanket and began the examination.
He took out a flashlight and shone it into Ling Huanwu's pupils. Just as he was wondering what was going on, his gaze shifted down to the woman's straight, long legs covered with tiny red dots.
Zhou Jiuzhen's face immediately darkened. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and check!"
Fortunately, this doctor wasn't a quack; he had previously interned at a large hospital in the city.
He immediately guessed what was going on, took a step forward, and tiptoed towards Zhou Jiuzhen's lips.
What are you doing?
Zhou Jiuzhen was confused and annoyed that his wife wasn't getting proper medical treatment and was instead dawdling around.
The doctor slapped his thigh in sudden realization, "Is your wife allergic to fish? And you just ate fish?"
"What?"
Zhou Jiuzhen was struck dumb. "So she really fainted from my kiss?"
He felt extremely guilty, his body swaying precariously, but he stayed by Ling Huanwu's side, refusing to leave her side for even a moment.
The torrential rain and strong winds that raged all night only began to subside slightly as the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Fortunately, Ling Huanwu gradually woke up at home a few hours after taking the allergy medication.
With a glance, I saw Zhou Jiuzhen sitting motionless on the edge of the bed with his bloodshot eyes wide open.
"You're awake!"
A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Jiuzhen's eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch her, but froze in mid-air before hesitantly withdrew his hand.
He wiped his face, poured a glass of water and placed it in her hand, "You lie down first, I'll go get you some porridge."
Seeing him turn around and bring over a bowl of sweet potato porridge, Ling Huanwu was a little surprised and asked him indistinctly with her mouth swollen like a sausage.
"Where did you get the rice to cook porridge?"
Zhou Jiuzhen didn't answer, but just fed her spoonful by spoonful, so she wouldn't have time to ask any more questions.
Unbeknownst to her, he had spent ten yuan, the last of his savings, to buy this rice from the doctor.
Just after we finished feeding them, the guard Xiao Wang knocked on the door. "Sir, there's a man and a woman on the fishing boat we rescued yesterday who are insisting on seeing you. Why don't you go over there?"
Zhou Jiuzhen's gaze fell on the rings of allergy bumps on her calves that hadn't yet subsided. He turned around and scolded, "Didn't you see your sister-in-law is sick? Tell those two that they don't need to thank you, and that the boat will come in a few days and they can be sent back."
"oh oh."
Feeling wronged, Xiao Wang turned to leave, but was stopped by Ling Huanwu.
"I'm fine, Xiao Wang, wait a moment."
As Ling Huanwu spoke, she turned her head, smacked her swollen lips, and urged Zhou Jiuzhen to go about his business.
“The people must be in trouble to come to you. We should always put the people first. I’m fine.”
Zhou Jiuzhen gripped her hand tighter and tighter, but finally let go as if reluctant to part.
Xiao Wang came in and, as usual, tried to help him with his bag, but was terrified by Ling Huan's swollen mouth. He took a few steps back and knocked over a chair.
Zhou Jiuzhen glared at him with displeasure, then gave him several more instructions before leaving the house, turning back every few steps.
As soon as the person left, Ling Huanwu became lively and quickly closed her eyes to enter her inner space.
As soon as she went in, she was hit by the lingzhi mushrooms that were swarming up and made her dizzy.
Holding onto the wall for support, and looking around at the cramped space, Ling Huanwu felt as if the sky had fallen as she stood on the box.
Last night, she was thinking that things would turn out unexpectedly well, and that even if she didn't bother that taciturn person, he would suddenly become more perceptive and give her more opportunities.
Who would have thought that the space would shrink again because of the failed attempt to have sex last night, and now there's not even room to stand.
Not to mention the famine, she also wants to use her spatial storage to hoard food.
It's hard to say whether all those things that were painstakingly moved out of the space will be crushed to dust.
Ling Huanwu touched her swollen, aching lips, horrified, thinking that her allergic reaction must be too terrifying.
That's why Zhou Jiuzhen lost all interest in her, causing the space to shrink for a time.
Ling Huanwu hurriedly went to rummage through the pile of wooden boxes containing medicine bottles.
My great-grandfather and his family sold Chinese herbal medicines, including many that reduced swelling.
Finally, she found a bottle of medicine to reduce swelling and relieve pain, quickly jumped out of the space, and applied it to her miserable lips in front of the mirror...

When Zhou Jiuzhen and Xiao Wang arrived at the base where the troops were stationed, it happened to be a break during training, and small groups of soldiers were chatting together.
"Have you heard? The commander made his wife end up in the clinic again last night. Apparently, her lips are so swollen you could fit a whole flatbread in them!"
"No way, the commander isn't that big! If he really is, then he really doesn't know how to be gentle with women!"
"That's because you didn't see it. I saw him taking a shower in the bathhouse when we were doing special training in the mountains. It was absolutely shocking!"
"Can you stop talking nonsense? Even if that's the case, I don't think the commander is that kind of person!"
“Young man, you haven’t seen the commander’s wife, have you? We saw her at the beach the other day. Her waist was as slender as a willow branch when she turned her head, and her legs were so white and straight. Our commander, who can’t even smile, actually called her ‘baby’ in public…”
Zhou Jiuzhen stopped behind the group who were talking loudly. His face, which was usually stern and unsmiling, was now so gloomy that it was almost as if ink was dripping from it.
"Commander... Commander!"
Finally, someone noticed Zhou Jiuzhen's sudden appearance, which startled the group so much that they all ran back to their respective corners to resume their training.
Zhou Jiuzhen took several deep breaths before remembering that he had accidentally called her "baby" during the day yesterday.
For the past few days, I've been thinking about how to say "baby" smoothly, but I never expected to just say it out loud in public.
He waved to the drill instructors and said, "I see that everyone has plenty of energy. After the drill, have a few of them go and help the fishermen repair their boats before they come back for dinner, understand?"
The instructor stood at attention with his legs together and saluted, "Yes, sir!"
The group of soldiers who were just doing push-ups were inwardly groaning, but none of them dared to utter a sound.
Zhou Jiuzhen strode away, heading towards the base dormitory.
From a great distance, he spotted a familiar figure and was taken aback. "Shuyao, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing his elder brother, Zhou Shuyao immediately felt he had found a pillar of support. He helped Song Yaoyao, who was sitting to the side, to her feet and they stumbled toward his brother.
"Big brother, you have no idea that Yao Yao and I almost died at sea. We would never see you and sister-in-law again..."
As Zhou Shuyao spoke, his face was covered in tears and snot.
Even though Song Yaoyao glared at him, he didn't realize he had said something wrong.
Zhou Jiuzhen frowned. What kind of brother-in-law says he can't bear to see his sister-in-law again?
"How did you get here? There are many reefs around this island, making it difficult to navigate. If it weren't for our old captain piloting the ship, we wouldn't have been able to find this island at all. And how did you know I was here?"
Zhou Shuyao wiped away his tears before sitting down and patiently recounting what had happened.
After he finished speaking, he summarized.
"That Qin Jinshen wanted to find his sister-in-law to avenge his sister. If it weren't for Yao Yao's resourcefulness in tricking him into going to another deserted island, we wouldn't have been able to escape by jumping into the sea during the typhoon, be rescued by a fisherman, and then be rescued by you, my brother."
Zhou Jiuzhen clenched his fists upon hearing this.
Suddenly, Song Yaoyao, who had been standing to the side, vomited unexpectedly. While vomiting, she grabbed Zhou Shuyao's hand and comforted him, "I...I'm fine, I'm pregnant with triplets..."
