Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

Zhao Pandi took this opportunity to sneak into the house and hide the medicine, but before she entered the house, she was caught and tied up by Yu Jingang.

Afterwards, they tied up Zhao Pandi. Because Shen Chunmei was suspected of committing the crime, she was also tied up. They tied them to the jujube tree in the yard. Four people guarded outside the door and did not allow anyone to enter.

In less than an hour at the captain's house, they had collected all the herbs Xu Nuannuan needed. In fact, there was no specific quantity limit. Xu Nuannuan felt that she could add enough spiritual spring water, so she asked them to stop.

These medicines are also some spleen and stomach strengthening and anti-inflammatory medicines, and they have certain nourishing and anti-inflammatory effects when taken by people.

They returned to the captain's house, and Xu Nuannuan asked someone to crush the herbs. When she added water to the medicine juice, she took the opportunity to mix it with the space spiritual spring water, and then made a large bucket of medicine juice.

Many villagers who were poisoned knew that Xu Nuannuan was making medicine at the team leader's house and were already waiting nearby.

Xu Nuannuan asked the captain's wife to get a bowl and put half a spoonful in it, enough for one person to take.

In the era of material scarcity, unlike modern society where everyone can be given a disposable cup, rural people did not care too much about so many things. As long as they could drink the medicine, it would be fine. If everyone was really given a disposable cup, they would definitely treat it as a treasure and would not be willing to throw it away after use.

Xu Nuannuan discussed with the team leader and asked those waiting to take medicine to line up, with the elderly and children given priority, followed by women and young and middle-aged people. Of course, if the situation is particularly serious, they can also take medicine first.

Most people obeyed the rules and took their medicine in an orderly manner. If someone tried to cut in line on purpose, the team leader would let him line up at the end and take his medicine last. With this example, the others who were eager to cut in line became obedient and waited in line.

Qin Yuping was standing in line behind several other women. When it was her turn, Xu Nuannuan directly called the next person.

Qin Yuping's eyes almost popped out: "Xu Nuannuan, why don't you let me drink the medicine? I am also a member of Qingping Bay. This medicine is not collected by you, you can't deprive me of the right to take the medicine."

Xu Nuannuan handed the medicine bowl to the person behind her and told Qin Yuping, "You've forgotten about it right after you filed a complaint against me. How could I give the medicine I made to someone who slandered me? I let you get better, and now you're slandering me? Ha."

Qin Yuping couldn't get the medicine, so she went to find the team leader.

"Captain, you have to take care of this. This is medicine that someone else picked, but Xu Zhiqing won't let me drink it."

"If I tell you not to drink, then don't drink. Who told you to have nothing better to do? I'm thinking about the whole village, but you're trying to stab me in the back. If it weren't for Xu Zhiqing, no one would have the antidote. And you have the nerve to come get it? If I were you, I'd die of pain instead of coming here. People like you deserve to be poisoned to death."

The captain knew that he was just a small official. Even if his remarks were inappropriate, he would not appear on TV or in the newspapers. He was not worried about saying anything wrong and was somewhat unscrupulous.

"Captain."

The captain was a little impatient. "No one will die if you don't drink it, so just bear with it."

Qin Yuping's standing there would affect other people getting their medicine, so two very discerning people in the team came out and directly carried her out of the captain's house.

The educated youth also came to collect medicine. Fu Yunqi and Chen Dalu brought their own bowls. Xu Nuannuan filled medicine for each of them. Then it was Wu Zhiguo's turn. Xu Nuannuan also filled medicine for him because he had not done anything naughty in the past two days. Behind them were the other educated youth. Yu Qingqing huddled at the back. Although she lowered her head, Xu Nuannuan still noticed her, and passed her by and gave the medicine bowl to the person behind her.

Yu Qingqing had just witnessed what happened to Qin Yuping, and was afraid that she would be carried out like Qin Yuping, so she didn't make a fuss.

She felt very uncomfortable all over and thought that if she had a grudge with Xu Nuannuan in the past, if she bowed her head and admitted her mistake to Xu Nuannuan, Xu Nuannuan would probably give her medicine.

But just as she was about to speak, her damn self-esteem started to get in the way again.

She had been used to disobeying Xu Nuannuan since school, and now asking her to bow to Xu Nuannuan was more painful than killing her.

However, a sharp pain like a knife came from her abdomen again, and she could no longer maintain her arrogant attitude as a young lady.

She really couldn't bear it anymore. Instead of being in excruciating pain, it would be better to bow her head and admit her mistake to Xu Nuannuan. Anyway, it was just a superficial bow. If it could help her recover her health, why not do it?

So, she said to Xu Nuannuan, "Xu, Xu Zhiqing, I know I've offended you before. I know I shouldn't have done that. It's all in the past. I apologize to you. Let's reconcile and be good friends, okay?"

Xu Nuannuan glanced at her calmly and said, "Please move aside and don't delay others from taking their medicine."

"What?" Yu Qingqing was puzzled. "Xu Zhiqing, didn't you hear what I said just now?"

"I heard you. I told you to get out of here, didn't you hear me?"

"Xu Zhiqing, why won't you forgive me? I've apologized to you so sincerely. Killing someone is not enough, so what's the point of you forgiving me?"

"Your apology is your business, what does it have to do with me? I asked you to apologize to me, so I should forgive you just because you apologized to me? However, I'm not that stingy. If you want to drink the medicine, you should perform a handstand walk ten laps in the yard for me first."

"Xu Nuannuan, you are forcing me to do something I can't do."

"Drink it or not. If you don't want to drink, just leave. This is the medicine I made. The captain gave me the final say. If you don't do a handstand, no matter how much you rant, it's useless."

Yu Qingqing gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Nuannuan, if you don't consider that we are both educated youth, you should also consider that we are from the same hometown. You can't just stand by and watch someone die."

Xu Nuannuan called out to the side, "Someone, come here! This woman is seriously interfering with me serving medicine to the people behind me. Someone come and pull her out."

Two people came over immediately, carried Yu Qingqing, and dragged her outside to keep Qin Yuping company.

The captain checked and counted all the poisoned people except Qin Yuping and Yu Qingqing. After they took the antidote, Xu Nuannuan had the remaining medicine in the bucket poured into the two wells.

Mei Xiangcao was not poisoned. She knew Xu Nuannuan was making medicine at the captain's house. She was worried that Xu Nuannuan hadn't eaten, so she came over and asked, "Nuannuan, you've been busy for so long, have you eaten?"

Xu Nuannuan shook her head. Many people had been busy since they got off work at noon and had not eaten yet.

Mei Xiangcao pulled her up and said, "Come on, come home with me. Auntie will make you something delicious."

Xu Nuannuan stood up and was about to leave with Mei Xiangcao.

Xu Nuannuan said to the captain, "Uncle, I'll come back later."

"Okay, okay." The captain's family didn't cook, and the whole family was hungry, so it was not a good idea to keep Xu Nuannuan.

When others saw how close Mei Xiangcao and Xu Nuannuan were, they were all guessing about their relationship. Mei Xiangcao had a look of pride on her face. She had such a good future daughter-in-law, and let those people envy her.

One woman even stopped Mei Xiangcao and asked her, "Why are you so nice to Xu Zhiqing? What's your relationship with him?"

Mei Xiangcao smiled and said, "Go ahead and guess for yourself."

The woman then said, "Xu Zhiqing is dating your Jiang Ye."

It has to be said that this woman has proven the truth. The smile on Mei Xiangcao's face became even wider. She still smiled and pulled Xu Nuannuan away.

Soon, the news that Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan might be dating spread among a small group of people.

Everyone was envious and jealous of Mei Xiangcao and Jiang Ye. Many old women regretted that their sons did not pursue Xu Nuannuan earlier, which allowed Mei Xiangcao and Jiang Ye to get the upper hand.

Wang Dalat heard the old women complaining and said, "Don't you see what your son is like? I don't think I'm worthy of Xu Zhiqing, so they should be even less so."

Then, he was hit on the back several times.

He chuckled and thought it was like someone was giving him a back massage for free.

However, since Xu Nuannuan already has a partner, these women do not intend to let their sons harass Xu Nuannuan.

Xu Nuannuan and Mei Xiangcao arrived at Jiang's house. Xu Nuannuan didn't see Jiang Ye: "Aye hasn't come back yet?"

"No, you take a rest first, I'll go cook."

Jiang Ting picked tomatoes from the vegetable garden, washed them and handed them to Xu Nuannuan.

"Sister-in-law, are you tired of doing so much work?"

"Fortunately."

Xu Nuannuan took the tomato. She hadn’t eaten for most of the day, so she thought the bright red tomatoes were quite sweet.

Xu Nuannuan didn't see Jiang Yang either, so she asked Jiang Ting, "Where's your second brother?"

"My second brother is studying in the room. He told me not to disturb him if I'm not studying. He's studying very hard and is still reading in the room. Whenever he has free time, he keeps reading."

Xu Nuannuan smiled. She might very well discover a pillar for the country.
