Chapter 40 Decision
Wan Qiqi stood in the courtyard for a long time until someone called out from the doorway, which brought her back to her senses.
"Sister-in-law Chen, is Chen Wangshi here?"
A head peeked out from outside the door, and a pair of big eyes blinked twice.
Wan Qiqi saw a simply dressed boy standing at the door, about the same age as Chen Yongliang.
She took a few steps outside and stopped two meters away. "My mother isn't feeling well. Is there anything wrong?"
"Oh, is that so..." Chen Sanyuan briefly explained the current situation of the plague and instructed, "It is recommended not to go out. If there is no water, we can help carry it, but you will have to solve the problem of food yourself."
"I understand." Wan Qiqi nodded, understanding the current situation.
Chen Sanyuan had heard that Wan Qiqi was a difficult person to deal with, and at first he was a little afraid to talk to her, but now he felt that she was actually easier to talk to than others.
He notified most of the village, and almost every household complained. Some even made things difficult for him, but this was the easiest family he had ever spoken to.
Then he said, "If there are no problems, I'll go and inform the other villagers!"
Just as he turned around, Wan Qiqi's voice came from behind him.
"Wait a moment!"
Chen Sanyuan was stunned for a moment, then felt a chill run down his spine. He was afraid that Wan Qiqi would also come looking for trouble, and he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Wan Qiqi choked up when she saw Chen Sanyuan's taut back.
She looks that scary?
Then she asked, "The plague is now serious, are there enough people?"
Chen Sanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was no better than before; in fact, it showed more worry. He turned around and said, "What can we do if it's not enough? The number of infected people is increasing every day, and everyone is hiding at home, afraid to go out, let alone go out to help!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm sorry, Yongliang also got infected while helping out. If he survives this plague, my father will definitely report it to the county government and get a pension."
"We can definitely get through this!"
Chen Sanyuan looked at Wan Qiqi in confusion, wondering if he was hallucinating.
"We can definitely get through this!"
Hearing Wan Qiqi's tone, Chen Sanyuan felt a surge of warmth welling up in his weary heart.
Since the outbreak of the plague, countless people have sighed and lamented, fearing that it would take their lives. This was the only one who firmly and earnestly told him that he would definitely survive the plague.
Wan Qiqi's words were like a timely rain after a long drought, bringing relief to Chen Sanyuan.
What Wan Qiqi said next made Chen Sanyuan even more convinced that the rumors about Wan Qiqi in the village were all false.
"Can I help? I may not be very strong, but I can do some odd jobs."
Aren't you afraid of contracting the plague?
"What's the use of being afraid? If we don't control and treat it quickly, the plague will spread. What's the point of hiding at home then?"
Chen Sanyuan scrutinized Wan Qiqi, repeatedly asking himself, "Is this really Wan Qiqi? She seems completely different from before!"
If it weren't for the location of Wan Qiqi's beauty mark at the corner of her eye, he would have really suspected that Chen Yongnian had saved someone else.
After a long pause, he finally said, "If you go to help, will your family know?"
"I believe they will understand." Wan Qiqi smiled, her smile as warm as the winter sun, making people feel comfortable.
Chen Sanyuan hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "Okay, you can arrange things at home, and go to the sentry post later. Someone will take you in."
"good."
Wan Qiqi watched Chen Sanyuan's figure disappear from sight before slowly turning around and saying to the doorway of the main room, "Come out! I know you heard me!"
Chen Yongxing came out, his face grim. "Sister-in-law, you can't go! No one else in the family can be hurt!"
Wan Qiqi retorted, "Won't anyone get hurt if I don't go?"
"But at least I can live a little longer..." Chen Yongxing's voice grew softer and softer until only he could hear it.
Li Chongniang walked out, her belly protruding, glanced at Wan Qiqi, and said in an icy tone, "I've never seen a mother like you, not caring about your own children at all! What will happen to Pingping and An'an if something happens to you and your older brother?"
Wan Qiqi peeked through the crack in the door at the two little ones sitting in the main room, her eyes slightly lowered, and said firmly, "But I don't want to wait to die."
She suddenly looked up and said, "If the plague spreads, no one can escape it. Instead of waiting here, we should take the initiative and try to save our child's life."
Li Chongniang felt a sense of unfamiliarity when she looked at Wan Qiqi, yet she also felt that the other person was capable of surviving.
She turned her face away and muttered under her breath, "What a madman!"
Afterwards, she returned to the main room and closed the door tightly.
Chen Yongxing had never seen his sister-in-law like this before, and felt that she was a stranger to him, as if another person lived under the same skin.
But he also felt that this was how his sister-in-law should be.
"Sister-in-law, are you really determined to go?" Chen Yongxing knew the answer, but he didn't know why he had to ask again.
Wan Qiqi looked at him and nodded, "Yes, I will definitely go, I must go!"
Now, most of the village is infected with the plague, which is still spreading rapidly. If we don't find a way to control it, the whole village will really perish in the plague.
She has saved up a small amount of money during this period. Although it is impossible to cure the seriously ill, it can at least help those with mild symptoms to recover slowly. Every person she can save is a life she can save.
Now that Chen Yongliang has also contracted the plague, she doesn't want her vibrant younger brother to perish here.
He is young, he wants to see a bigger world, and there are girls who love him. He cannot be defeated by the plague.
Moreover, Wan Qiqi wanted to see how plagues were dealt with in ancient times, and what aspects were not handled properly, allowing the plague to spread.
