Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi looked at each other.

The voice sounded very familiar, it was clearly Mrs. Zhang.

Jiang Xiaohua remained calm and asked, "Sister-in-law Zhang and her family didn't see you for medical treatment last night, right?"

Li Yuanzhi nodded, "No, neither her family nor the Xu family are here. After all, these two families have a grudge against us. I think it will be difficult not to notice them."

Jiang Xiaohua looked heavy and drank the remaining soup at the bottom of the bowl. She put the bowl down and said, "What a fool. You risk your own child's life just to take a gamble!"

Li Yuanzhi was slightly surprised, "You mean..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the crowd nearby commotion.

Sister-in-law Zhang rushed over holding a four or five-year-old boy with disheveled hair and tears on her face.

She was accompanied by a group of people who were either curious or worried.

Mrs. Zhang fell to the ground with her child. She looked up and saw Jiang Xiaohua, as if she had seen a savior.

She grabbed Jiang Xiaohua's skirt and cried:

"Why can't my Xiaoshan wake up early? My body feels hot to the touch, and now I'm still twitching all over. What should I do?"

Seeing the child's body twitching and his face turning blue, Jiang Xiaohua didn't care to say anything more.

She pushed Mrs. Zhang away, squatted down and laid Xiaoshan's body flat, unbuttoned the collar of her clothes, and turned her head to one side to let the secretions from his mouth drain out smoothly.

After one operation, Xiaoshan no longer twitched, his chest became visibly relieved, and his face gradually returned to normal.

Sister-in-law Zhang was lying next to her, crying so hard that she couldn't lift her head.

Jiang Xiaohua was upset when she heard this and scolded, "Shut up! It's so noisy!"

Mrs. Zhang was unprepared and was so frightened that she stopped crying.

She looked at Jiang Xiaohua blankly, with snot and tears on her face, looking a little funny.

Jiang Xiaohua didn't give her a good look, "If you want your child to survive, just listen to me."

"Go and get a basin of warm water. It's just a little warm, so your hands won't be cold. And get a clean cloth!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Mrs. Zhang stood up and trotted away.

Li Yuanzhi also knelt down to check Xiaoshan's condition and said with emotion, "I'm afraid now she will obey whatever you say. It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world."

Jiang Xiaohua said with a cold face, "Poor people are hateful. If she didn't insist on not seeing a doctor for the sake of face last night, how could this child have a high fever and convulsions?"

Li Yuanzhi nodded, "That's true."

Sister-in-law Zhang came back quickly with water, and Jiang Xiaohua directed her to soak Xiaoshan's neck, back, groin and other parts with a cloth soaked in warm water.

After repeating this for a while, Xiaoshan's body was no longer so hot. He slowly opened his eyes and called out, "Mom..."

Seeing that her son had woken up, Mrs. Zhang felt a mixture of sadness and joy, "My son! You really scared your mother to death!"

Jiang Xiaohua also breathed a sigh of relief. In ancient times, medical conditions were poor, and this was in the wild again.

High fever and convulsions in children are no joke, and this little life may not be saved.

Li Yuanzhi brought two kinds of medicinal materials to Mrs. Zhang, "I boiled the medicine for the children to drink, but it is best to add some Bupleurum to reduce fever. You need to go to the mountains to find it yourself."

Sister-in-law Zhang took the medicinal materials with both hands and agreed repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go back and boil the medicine, and then go find Bupleurum! Can you tell me what Bupleurum looks like?"

Jiang Xiaohua frowned and said, "Why are you busy all alone, where is your man?"

Sister-in-law Zhang forced a smile and said, "Isn't it our women's responsibility to take care of the baby?"

Jiang Xiaohua finally couldn't help but rolled her eyes. She thought this sister-in-law was such a powerful character.

Not willing to be enslaved by men!

Jiang Xiaohua was not used to this kind of people and said unceremoniously, "Did you give birth to this child by yourself? Doesn't he have a biological father?"

"When a child has a fever, at least one adult needs to be by his side at all times to rub him and reduce the fever. You also have to boil and collect medicine. Can you break it into three for use alone?"

Sister-in-law Zhang was speechless and lowered her head.

Aunt Bai came to Jiang Xiaohua's ear and whispered, "That man of hers usually only does farm work in the fields and doesn't care about anything at home. When he enters the house, he lies down on the kang and becomes a great man."

"At first, Xiaoshan Niang sometimes wanted to ask a man to help, but when Liu Haode got angry, he would beat her and the children. She said that it was not easy to support her family. Women can't even do this at home. She was asked to do it. very!"

The original owner, Jiang Xiaohua, had almost zero social interactions in the village, so she was completely unaware of this kind of behind-closed-door gossip.

Jiang Xiaohua was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

Aunt Bai continued to murmur in a low voice, "Isn't it true? More than half of the wild boar meat you shared with everyone was eaten by her men. She really doesn't care about her wife at all."

"Hao De ate meat. Maybe he was in a good mood for the past two days, but I didn't hear the sound of him beating his wife."

"However, I advise you to stay out of her business. In order to make the man happy, she shamelessly wants to beg for meat from you. If you help her deal with Liu Haode, she might become a double-dealer."

Aunt Bai and Sister Zhang's family used to be neighbors, but recently they always lived in adjacent places.

Therefore, Aunt Bai's words are still very credible.

Jiang Xiaohua's mood was a little complicated, and she said to Aunt Bai, "I didn't want to care about her, I just wanted to restore the child's innocence."

After everyone dispersed, Jiang Xiaohua said to Sister-in-law Zhang, "I can lend you my fire to make medicine, but you have to bring your own firewood and pot."

"Put the child here first and observe him for a while. When he is no longer in danger, you can go back."

Sister-in-law Zhang looked at Jiang Xiaohua, feeling both grateful and ashamed.

"Thank you, I'll go get my stuff right away."

Xiaoshan drank the medicine, and after half an hour, his fever finally subsided.

I have to admire the child's energy. As soon as Xiaoshan could sit up, he stretched out his hands and asked to play with Miaomiao.

Sister-in-law Zhang gently patted her son on the back and said, "You can't run around now. You must listen to Aunt Xiaohua and Mr. Li."

Xiaoshan pursed his lips, but remained obedient and stared at Miaomiao eagerly.

It was past noon, and since Oolong joined in, dinner was the main meal for the whole family.

Jiang Xiaohua simply fried assorted wild vegetables, roasted some chestnuts as a staple food, and also had a lot of wild fruits, which was considered a nutritious meal.

Suddenly, a dark and short man ran over, shouting as he ran, "You bitch, why are you still hiding here!"

Sister-in-law Zhang stood up in a hurry. It was obvious that she was a little afraid of this man, and she explained with a stiff smile:

"The child's fever has just subsided. I would like to say that we will observe it again and go back when everything is fine."

The man had already run up to Mrs. Zhang, picked up the woman's collar, and slapped her across the face.

"I told you to talk back! Didn't you look at the time? I'm still hungry!"
