Chapter 192 Don’t get burned out!
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei slapped away the woman's hand that was stretched out in front of her and said coldly:
"I really gave you face. How dare you ask me for money? I haven't asked you for the money for saving the man. My son and I saved the man. The total is ten taels of silver. Give me the money for saving the man first, and then we can talk about other things!"
Seeing this, the woman hurriedly stood up, patted the dirt off her body, glared at Jiang Yuwei and cursed:
"You vicious woman, you clearly killed my daughter, and you still dare to ask me for money to save her. I think you are really crazy!"
As she spoke, the woman looked at Ning Zhao and cursed:
"You little bastard born of a whore, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and ask your mother to hand over the silver!"
Ning Zhao saw that this woman dared to insult her mother like this, and immediately looked at Jiang Yuwei with red eyes and cried:
"Mother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and saved someone. I'm sorry for letting you suffer with me."
At this moment, Xiaoyu, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes and kept shouting:
"Mom, mom, please don't let me die. I, I won't eat anything in the future. I'll save it for my brother. Mom, please don't throw me into the river. I don't want to die. Woo woo..."
After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei glared at the short and fat woman and said angrily:
"You are worthy of being a mother? You want to throw your child into the river and drown him just because he eats a bite of food? Tell me what kind of person gave birth to you, little bastard!"
When the woman heard what Jiang Yuwei said, her face suddenly turned red and white. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with disgust, she hurried over to Xiaoyu, kicked her and cursed:
"You'd better be dead, you're such a money-loser. If you're not dead, get up and go to work. Don't even think about eating for free!"
As soon as Xiaoyu opened her eyes, she saw her mother's fierce eyes. She got up from the ground in fear and nodded:
"I know mother."
Then the woman grabbed Xiaoyu's arm and walked away cursing.
Seeing that everything was resolved, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly took Ning Zhao and the others to the shop. Ning Zhao was still wet, and if he couldn't change clothes in the shop quickly, he would easily catch a cold.
After all, medicine is not well developed in this world now, so Jiang Yuwei is very cautious, for fear that Ning Zhao will catch a cold and have a fever that will damage his brain. Besides, Ning Zhao is studying so well now, if he catches a cold and has a damaged brain because of saving people, it would be a loss.
When Jiang Yuwei and the others arrived at the shop, everyone had already started cleaning and preparing to close the shop and go home. There was a Dragon Boat Festival event today, so the things in the shop were selling very quickly. Fortunately, Tiezhu and Ning Wu were working in the paper mill non-stop to make paper and new products, which was barely enough to keep up with the sales speed of the shop.
Jiang Yuwei said to Ning Qiu:
"You guys clean up in front first. I'll take Ning Zhao to the backyard to clean him up, so he won't catch a cold again. We'll go back to the village after we're done."
Ning Qiu felt very distressed when he saw Ning Zhao shivering in the cold hiding behind Jiang Yuwei, and nodded quickly:
"Sister Yuwei, don't worry about us. Take Ning Zhao to the backyard to clean up."
Jiang Yuwei took Ning Zhao to the backyard, found a set of clothes she had bought for the idiot, handed them to Ning Zhao, and then found the idiot's towel and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Zhao'er, here you go. Go to the inner room and change your wet clothes quickly. Use this towel to wipe the water off your body, especially your hair. Dry it thoroughly. I'll go boil some hot water for you to drink to warm you up."
Ning Zhao nodded and took the clothes and towel and went into the house. Jiang Yuwei was not idle either. She went to the yard to chop wood and make a fire. She boiled half a pot of water and first scooped out a bowl of water and placed it on the stove to dry.
Then she went to the warehouse to find two hot water bottles and filled them with hot water. When Ning Zhao came out from the inner room, Jiang Yuwei saw that he was wearing fat and big clothes for a fool, and shook her head helplessly:
"You can only wear what you have for now. It's better than being naked. Take out your dirty clothes. I'll take them back and wash them for you."
Jiang Yuwei then stuffed the bowl of water into Ning Zhao's hand and said with a smile:
"Mom has dried it for you. It's still warm. Drink it quickly to warm your body."
Ning Zhao was shivering from the cold at this time. He took the warm water handed to him by Jiang Yuwei, and immediately felt warm in his heart. With red eyes, he drank the water in the bowl. After drinking a bowl of water, Ning Zhao felt that his body was not as cold as before, so he quickly handed the bowl to Jiang Yuwei and said with a smile:
"Mom, I want another bowl."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and poured him another bowl of water. Seeing Ning Zhao drink it, she stuffed two hot water bottles into Ning Zhao's arms and said with a smile:
"Hold him and warm him up, we will go home now."
Jiang Yuwei gave the idiot a few words of instruction, then called for everyone to get on the ox cart. Several people sat in a circle, squeezing Ning Zhao in the middle, for fear that he would be blown away by the wind.
The group quickly returned to Ningjia Village. After what happened in the afternoon, Jiang Yuwei had no mood to cook, so her original plan to invite everyone to the courtyard for a gathering was ruined. She could only wait until next time to invite them to dinner.
Jiang Yuwei said to Ning Daya:
"Daya, go heat up the remaining rice dumplings and mix two cold dishes. Let everyone finish eating and then go home. I'm really tired today. I'll go into the house and change my clothes first."
Ning Daya nodded and said:
"I understand, Sister Yuwei, go back to your room and rest, and leave the things outside to me."
Jiang Yuwei nodded, went into the room and closed the door, then took a quick shower with the spiritual spring water in the space. Only then did she feel much better. After changing her clothes, Jiang Yuwei lay down on the bed.
At this moment, she just wanted to have a good sleep. A spiritual spring bath would relieve her physical fatigue, but her mental state was very tense throughout the afternoon.
She was excited, disappointed, nervous, and angry. It seemed like a whole year in just one afternoon. So Jiang Yuwei lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
She had many dreams that night. She dreamed of her former parents, her current parents, Ning Zhao, Ning Wan, and Ning Huaizhi. In her dreams, she just felt very tired.
Just when she was half asleep, she was awakened by Ning Zhao's violent coughing. She wanted to turn over and continue sleeping, but suddenly a string in her mind tightened. Could Ning Zhao have caught a cold?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei didn't bother to continue sleeping. She got up quickly, put on some clothes and went to the west room. She saw Ning Zhao lying on the bed with sweat all over his head and his face was red. He didn't know whether he was asleep or awake. He just kept coughing and talking nonsense.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei immediately wiped the sweat off Ning Zhao's forehead with a handkerchief, muttering:
"My dear Zhao'er, please don't get burned out!"
