Chapter 24: Don’t worry, He can’t die.
Chapter 24
"Calm down."
Zhang Qing was unhappy and tried to get around The Eighth Old Zhou to continue teaching He Zhiran a lesson.
Mo Jiuye was lying on the wooden cart, watching it all from afar.
Seeing that Zhang Qing was about to take action, he was already prepared to stand up and save the person.
No matter what, Mo Jiuye would not let anyone bully his wife from the He family.
The He women were likewise. Ever since He Zhiran went to cure Peng Wang\'s snakebite, they had been worried.
They even ignored their hunger.
Old Lady Mo\'s sharp eyes noticed Mo Jiuye\'s chest rising and falling rapidly. She guessed her son\'s thoughts.
In order not to affect the overall situation, Old Lady Mo whispered beside the wooden cart,
"Don\'t be impatient."
How could Mo Jiuye not be impatient?
Whether he had feelings for He Zhiran or not, as the only man in the He family, if he couldn\'t even protect the women at home, he might as well die.
However, in order not to worry his mother, he forcibly suppressed the urge to get up.
Just then, He Zhiran had already stood up from behind the tree and walked towards the officers.
She looked so calm, as if not afraid of Zhang Qing\'s whip at all.
Before The Eighth Old Zhou could speak, Zhang Qing shook off the hand restraining him and ran towards the tree.
"He Zhiran, if you dare to lie, I\'ll beat you to death!"
He Zhiran didn\'t even glance at him, just standing there with her arms crossed.
The Eighth Old Zhou was much more sensible than Zhang Qing. Instead of immediately checking on Peng Wang, he asked He Zhiran,
"Are you sure the poison is cured?"
"I\'m sure. What\'s more, I can tell you clearly that he will wake up within an hour."
Seeing He Zhiran\'s composure, The Eighth Old Zhou could confirm she wasn\'t lying.
"Alright, as long as the chief wakes up, he certainly won\'t mistreat you."
He Zhiran had been busy for so long just for this sentence. But reason told her that nothing was certain until Peng Wang woke up.
"Okay, you guys go take care of Officer Peng. I\'m thirsty, tired and sleepy. I\'m going to rest."
Having said that, He Zhiran walked towards the He family.
The Eighth Old Zhou didn\'t say anything, but he had already taken note in his heart.
He Zhiran had just taken a few steps when the He women all came to welcome her.
"Sister-in-law, go back and rest." Fifth sister-in-law Zhao Jiajia hurried to support her.
Forget He Zhiran who had been busy saving lives, even they who hadn\'t moved much felt exhausted.
The other sisters-in-law surrounded He Zhiran as she returned to her seat.
"He Zhiran, did you really cure the snake venom?"
Old Lady Mo and Mo Jiuye had the same doubts. Before her son got married, she had also inquired about He Zhiran through some channels.
She only heard that He Zhiran was a young miss who rarely went out. She didn\'t know that she understood any medical skills.
However, since interacting with her last night, Old Lady Mo could confirm one thing - her ninth daughter-in-law was not simple.
Be it wisdom or skill, she was incomparable to the other eight daughters-in-law.
If she hadn\'t seen He Zhiran\'s parents treat her that way with her own eyes today, she would have even doubted He Zhiran\'s true identity.
Now there was no doubt about her identity, but her medical skills...
Were truly puzzling!
Of course He Zhiran could hear the doubt in her mother-in-law\'s tone.
She had thought it through before doing all this.
Among her many secrets, the only thing she could reveal was these medical skills.
Therefore, she had to find a reasonable excuse.
"Mother, when I was young, I was fortunate to obtain a medical book left behind by a great master.
You must know that I don\'t like going out. I usually pass time at home reading medical books.
After a long time, I thoroughly understood the content of the medical books. Treating illnesses is not difficult for me now."
In Old Lady Mo\'s understanding, He Zhiran did rarely go out.
So she didn\'t doubt the reason she gave at all.
"Since you really understand medicine, Mother will stop worrying."
Old Lady Mo felt there was no need to beat around the bush in front of her own family, and directly expressed her true feelings.
He Zhiran was really tired now.
Looking around, there was nothing but grass and big trees.
When the officers had raided their home, they didn\'t let them bring a single thread or needle, let alone any luggage.
Although she had goose down quilts from her past life in her space, she couldn\'t take them out to use.
This reminded her of a saying - I wander alone under the empty sky and earth, using the sky as quilt and the earth as mattress, with mountains and rivers as pillow.
Just as He Zhiran was lamenting to herself, Mo Hanyue spoke aggrievedly,
"Mother, I\'m hungry and sleepy, what should I do?"
Speaking of this, Old Lady Mo was also distressed.
Forget about Mo Hanyue who had been pampered since childhood. All the other women, including herself, which one hadn\'t grown up in a rich family home?
Going hungry with only the stars as cover and sleeping on the ground, it would be odd if they didn\'t fall sick tomorrow.
She stroked Mo Hanyue\'s messy hair distressfully and said heavily, "Hanyue, it\'s only our first day out. We\'ll have to live like this in the future, you must learn to adapt."
Facing a group of juniors, she could only stay strong. If she lost confidence in front of these children, everyone\'s mentality would completely collapse.
He Zhiran still couldn\'t be sure what kind of person Peng Wang was.
If he understood gratitude, it would be fine. He would definitely take care of the He family after waking up.
On the other hand, if he didn\'t acknowledge their life-saving grace at all, everything she did today would be in vain.
If that was the case, they would have to find other ways to improve the He family\'s situation.
At this moment, He Zhiran hoped that Peng Wang would wake up soon, and even more hoped that he would be someone who understood gratitude.
That way, perhaps they could have a better night.
Just as He Zhiran was lost in thought leaning against Mo Jiuye\'s wooden cart, excited laughter sounded from the officers\' side.
"Hahaha......so good, the chief is awake......"
"Chief, how are you feeling?"
"Chief, you nearly scared us to death."
