Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 192 Sneaky and Foul, Who's Scared to Death?

Everyone's attention was drawn to it, even Old Mrs. Bai, who held Wu Qingfeng's arm with concern, "Child, are you badly hurt?"

Aunt Gu also looked at him with concern.

Liu Zi was even more anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. "Third Master, why didn't you say so earlier? I'll go to town to fetch a doctor right away."

He turned around, but Wu Qingfeng grabbed his arm. "It's nothing, just some scrapes!"

Grandma Bai was no longer calm. "Shao'an, go check on your third brother. Even a scratch shouldn't be underestimated. He got caught in the rain, so be careful that the wound doesn't get infected and develop a fever."

Bai Shaoan nodded hurriedly, ignoring Wu Qingfeng's resistance, and pushed him back to his room.

Lin Chang'er watched the two figures leave, knowing that the proper separation between men and women was paramount, and it was not her place to help.

Considering the status of Old Madam Bai and Bai Shaoan, they should have good medicine on hand, so they didn't approach them again.

She didn't get too wet this time, so she just wiped her clothes with a dry cloth and then asked about Xiaocao.

Aunt Gu smiled and said, "Her parents didn't come back until evening. It was raining heavily, so they took shelter from the rain in a pavilion on the mountain (in the author's hometown, whether it's along the highway or in the mountains, there are pavilions every five or ten miles along the highway, and in the fields and mountains, I don't know if they are set according to distance, but there are always those simple little pavilions with mud walls, which are convenient for people to shelter from the sun and rain while working.)

"Well, the rain just wouldn't stop, so the couple came down the mountain when it was getting dark. Little Grass's father hasn't even brought back the load of firewood yet!"

"When they got to the village entrance, they heard about the family's situation and came straight to our house, expressing their gratitude for a long time. Xiaocao's mother's family is in the next village. Xiaocao's parents took Xiaocao there temporarily, saying they would come back when the weather cleared up, so as not to cause trouble for the village."

Lin Chang'er smiled, thinking that the couple had a good attitude.

After saying that, he brought up the Niu Sandong family.

Aunt Gu said, "It's only because the village rescued us in time this time, and Lord Wu, Young Master Bai, and the Six Brothers happened to be there too. If it were before, I'm afraid..."

After a pause, she said, "They are all blessed, and their lives will only get better from now on."

Lin Chang'er nodded and asked about the dishes for tonight.

Aunt Gu told her everything, and then asked her, "Chang'er, is there anything you want to eat? I'll have Da Lang's wife make you another one."

Lin Chang'er waved her hand and went to the kitchen to make a large pot of sugar-salt water, which she drank like plain water.

During dinner, Lin Chang'er smelled medicine on Wu Qingfeng's body and guessed that he had applied medicine, so she felt relieved.

For several afternoons, he was confined to his home, and during the meal, he kept pestering Bai Shaoan and Liu Zi to tell him about what had happened.

Liu Zi, beaming with excitement, recounted the events of that time to the children as if he were telling a story, even gesturing wildly when he got to the exciting parts.

The children were stunned. After taking another bite of rice, they said, "It's a good thing Miss Lin was alert, otherwise we would all be buried under the second landslide and wouldn't be able to sit here eating!"

"What? What happened? Why didn't you mention it when we came back?" Old Mrs. Bai panicked.

Bai Shaoan laughed and said, "It's alright, Grandmother. I'm a lucky star. It was just a false alarm."

Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Yes, it was just a false alarm, nothing to say."

Wu Qingfeng nodded, "It's all in the past."

Seeing the children's stubborn expressions, Old Mrs. Bai felt a pang of fear, but she didn't press them any further. She simply prayed silently, "May the old man protect me."

After the meal, Sister-in-law Gu, Sister-in-law Gu, and Aunt Gu took over all the chores in the kitchen.

Lin Chang'er and the others would all rush out, but Liu Zi was too embarrassed and insisted on staying inside to help.

On a rainy day, with no entertainment options, Lin Chang'er sat under the eaves of the main room watching the rain. In the pitch-black night, by the light of the oil lamp, she could vaguely see the water columns rushing down the eaves.

Lin Chang'er frowned at the weather. She had just checked the marine weather forecast, which indicated that it would rain for the next week.

The rain was still quite heavy, and business at the restaurant slowed down on rainy days, but she wasn't worried about the supply of seafood.

Even the sugarcane they purchase from other provinces is affected by the weather. Once the harvested sugarcane is washed away by rain, a large portion of the sugar content will be washed away. (When the author was in school, he went to the local brown sugar festival and watched the brown sugar making process. He heard from his classmates that the sugarcane is not washed when making sugar, as washing would cause serious sugar loss. After juicing, the sugarcane is filtered and boiled at high temperatures, so there is no need to worry about hygiene.)

However, since the event was beyond her control, she didn't dwell on it.

After all, the sugar factory has already made money on brown sugar even before it has officially started mass production, so even if this batch of sugarcane sugar doesn't meet the standards, it won't result in a loss.

Two girls entered through the courtyard gate, one carrying a windproof lantern and the other holding an umbrella.

Upon seeing Lin Chang'er, they all called out, "Sister Chang'er!" Lin Chang'er looked up, recognized Niu Xiaomei and He Chunhua, and stood up to greet them, "Why did you come in such heavy rain? Is something urgent?"

Niu Xiaomei is currently helping Lin Chang'er make pickled cold dishes, and Lin Chang'er subconsciously assumes it's about the pickled dishes.

The two women shook their heads in unison. He Chunhua's eyes darted around, while Niu Xiaomei was more composed and said, "Sister Chang'er, we've come to see Brother Liu to talk to him about something!"

Looking for Liu Zi late at night? Lin Chang'er's gossipy heart was ignited.

But they're just teenagers!

Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Liu Zi is helping wash the dishes in the kitchen right now. Why don't you sit in the main room for a while?"

He Chunhua immediately shook her head, "No need, Sister Chang'er, we'll go help."

After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen with Niu Xiaomei.

Lin Chang'er: "..." Chunhua and Liu Zi? They seem to be quite a good match.

She peeked out, trying to follow and see what was going on, when she suddenly bumped into something in the darkness.

It was still warm to the touch.

Lin Chang'er was startled. She recognized Wu Qingfeng by the faint smell of medicine in his breath and scolded him lightly, "What are you doing? You're scaring me to death."

A muffled groan sounded in his ear, followed by Wu Qingfeng's clear voice, "Sneaking around like that, who's going to scare whom to death?"
