Chapter 53: Take a step back, get a fever after being frightened

"You agreed very quickly, hand over the wild boar. As for us, the wild boars have caused our family to be damaged like locusts. Everything is broken, and the wild boars are gone. If you don't want to live like this, just say it."

Lin Xiuzhi quarreled loudly with Jiang's father, and the other people who didn't know the inside story were scared. Pan Wenlan grabbed her man's clothes and asked him to go up and persuade him.

The man shook his head with his teeth bared. He didn't dare. At this time, his mother's fighting power was directly bursting. If he dared to say a word, he would definitely roll up the quilt and go out to sleep with his father in the next second.

Chu Sangning gradually approached Jiang Xingyan. Under the cover of night, no one noticed that Chu Sangning's cheeks were slightly red and her eyes seemed to be filled with tears.

She whispered, "Auntie, are you okay? Do you want to go up and persuade her?"

Jiang Xingyan didn't react at first. His mother always cared about her reputation and would never quarrel with her family outside to avoid being the subject of other people's jokes while eating.

This time? Jiang Xingyan's mind turned quickly. Seeing that his father lowered his head and didn't say anything, his face was calm, he suddenly understood something and pulled Chu Sangning's wrist back, "It's okay, let's stand further away to avoid being affected."

This was a show, performed for those villagers who had their own plans.

Sure enough, when Lin Xiuzhi and Jiang's father were arguing fiercely, the villagers realized that they had gone too far, and one or two of them stepped forward and stood between the two.

Reaching out to persuade them: "Okay, okay, there are so many people here, stop arguing, stop arguing."

"Auntie Lin is right. They killed the wild boar themselves. What does it have to do with us? Uncle Jiang is kind, but we can't get carried away and forget to be grateful."

A young man was filled with righteous indignation: "Captain, Uncle Jiang's family has suffered, we can't take advantage of them for nothing, so, can we use work points to exchange for work?"

The quarrel on Lin Xiuzhi's side suddenly stopped, "Okay, but if anyone wants to save effort, "I, Lin Xiuzhi, am the first one who disagrees with taking the wild boar away without wasting any work points."

After the white-faced man finished speaking, the red-faced man said, while Jiang's father muttered: "Oh, everyone has a hard time, let's take less and let the children at home have a few bites of meat to enjoy the fishy taste."

The people who were still hesitating after hearing Lin Xiuzhi's words could no longer hold back their thoughts. Yes, it doesn't matter if the adults don't eat it, but what about the children? The children at home are all greedy, so cut two taels of meat and take it home to let the children taste the meat.

"Captain, let's do it according to Auntie Lin's method. We will calculate it based on work points so that Auntie won't suffer any loss."

Jiang Zongzheng nodded, "Okay, put the big wild boar in the warehouse of the brigade first, and divide it after the work is done tomorrow at noon."

He paused for two seconds and gave everyone a shot of precaution: "The Jiang family has made the greatest contribution to killing wild boars. Do you have any objections to the Jiang family picking first?"

"No, no, definitely not."

"Yes, it should be, we all agree to let the Jiang family pick first." Whoever feeds is the mother, and the people in the village did not object. They were all happy as if they had picked up money.

Jiang Zongzheng asked someone to carry the wild boar away first. He was old and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. It was already the middle of the night. After everyone left, he asked, "Is everything okay?"

Father Jiang shook his head, "Brother, you should go back to sleep as well."

"Okay, if you have anything, just shout and I'll ask my family to help."

After everyone left, Lin Xiuzhi stopped pretending with her old man. The two smiled at each other, and Father Jiang said proudly, "More than your roar." Screaming is better now, right?"

"Hmph, I'm always the bad guy, and now my reputation for being fierce is even louder."

Lin Xiuzhi looked at the mess in the yard, and simply turned a blind eye to her annoyance. She waved her hand to signal everyone to go to bed first: "Hurry up and rest, and clean up tomorrow morning."

Chu Sangning felt that her steps were heavy, and Lin Xiuzhi's words seemed to be automatically recorded. She only remembered what she said when she opened her mouth, and didn't know anything else.

Jiang Xingyan noticed something was wrong, and before he could catch up, Chu Sangning closed the door and waved to him like a kitten, "Bye, I'm going to bed first."

"Are you okay?" Jiang Xingyan frowned worriedly and listened carefully to the movements in the house.

Chu Sangning felt very sleepy, but Jiang Xingyan continued to ask, so she shouted: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."

After that, there was no movement in the room. Jiang Xingyan couldn't push a little girl's door in the middle of the night. He stood there for three or five minutes, and when he didn't hear any sound, he went back to the room.

Chu Sangning automatically ignored the scalding on her body. When it was almost dawn, she was directly awakened by the heat. It was obviously a bit cold in autumn, but her quilt was soaked with sweat, and her whole body was also wet.

Only then did she realize that something was wrong with her. Chu Sangning only touched her forehead and felt it was hot. She slowly got out of bed, but her legs and feet went limp before she took two steps. What was even more frightening was that she had goose bumps from the cold.

Chu Sangning found a pack of antipyretic medicine from the living room and drank it with cold water. After a while, the medicine took effect and she started to feel sleepy again. She closed her eyes and lost consciousness.

She didn't even know when she woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Xiuzhi sitting beside her sewing clothes.

Chu Sangning's voice was hoarse, and she coughed, her face flushed, "Auntie, what time is it?"

"It's just past seven, you should sleep a little longer." Lin Xiuzhi stood up and tucked the corner of the quilt for her. She felt that Chu Sangning's forehead was no longer hot, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the fever has subsided, but I'm afraid it won't. After Lin Xiuzhi relaxed, she began to mutter: "If Xingyan hadn't found that you hadn't gotten up yet and came over to call you, we wouldn't have known."

"You kids, you always can't take care of yourselves. You're already unconscious with a fever, but you don't know to call for help. If you have a fever for a whole day, your brain will be burned stupidly."

Lin Xiuzhi poured a cup of warm water for Chu Sangning, and watched her drink it before nodding with satisfaction.

"I'll let Xingyan do the work for you today, you just have a good rest."

Chu Sangning struggled to get up, "His leg injury hasn't healed yet, Auntie, I'll sleep for a while and go by myself in the afternoon."

This child is just stubborn, Lin Xiuzhi can't stop her, so she can only comfort her softly, "Okay, you sleep a little longer, get up at noon to have a meal, and you can still see the pigs being slaughtered."

The wild boars are now in the warehouse of the brigade. After work and lunch at noon, they will start slaughtering the pigs and dividing the meat.

"Do you want to eat some fat or lean meat?" Lin Xiuzhi asked.

"It's all right, Auntie, you decide." After all, Chu Sangning is staying at someone else's house, so it's better not to interfere in some things.

"Then half fat and half lean." Lin Xiuzhi made the final decision.

When Chu Sangning woke up from a long nap, Pan Wenlan and the others had already returned. Lin Xiuzhi looked behind them and asked, "Where's Brother Yan?"
