Lin Ziqiu raised his hand and tapped her brow. "You think too simply. What if she pretends to faint at the door? Can we really just ignore it?"

Even if he wasn't pretending to faint, if he really died of starvation or freezing, it wouldn't be that simple.

Ruan Qing was a little annoyed. "I've already severed ties with the Ruan family, and they still come to disgust me. I'm really impressed by these old guys."

Lin Ziqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and calmly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll take care of it. Go inside quickly and don't catch a cold."

Ruan Qing was hesitating when he saw Ruan Cui running towards him like a plague god. She ran into the house without looking back.

Lin Ziqiu stood in the rain and stepped forward to block the way of the mother and son.

Ruan Cui glared at her fiercely, "Get out of my way!"

Lin Ziqiu didn't move, half-lifting his eyelids, and said in a cold voice, "This is my home. Why should I give way to you?"

"Lin Ziqiu, I'm looking for Ruan Qing. It has nothing to do with you. You'd better not meddle in other people's business!"

Ruan Cui still can't forget the slap Lin Ziqiu gave her at the door of Meng's house a few nights ago. She will return the favor sooner or later!

Just thinking about this, Liu Rui suddenly got the courage from nowhere and rushed forward, punching Lin Ziqiu with his fists.

Lin Ziqiu didn't react at first, and after being hit twice, she immediately grabbed his wrist.

She raised her foot and kicked him twice on the buttocks. She would not show mercy when teaching a naughty kid a lesson.

"what--"

Liu Rui was beaten so hard that he cried out in pain.

Ruan Cui was heartbroken. She ran over and protected her grandson behind her, pointing at Lin Ziqiu and cursing, "You bastard, you didn't even let a child go! How can there be such a vicious person!"

Lin Ziqiu showed no intention of backing down. He met her fierce gaze, looking at her as if she were a clown, and said contemptuously, "You don't know how to teach children, so I'll help you for free."

"you--"

Ruan Cui was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her.

Lin Ziqiu took a few steps back. Ruan Cui was so excited that she stumbled and fell into the rain.

Her face turned red from the cold, and Liu Rui no longer cared about the pain. He grabbed her sleeve and cried, "Grandma!"

Lin Ziqiu stood quietly by and watched, "Ruan Qing has done her best for you. When you were collecting supplies, you took more than she deserved, and she didn't say anything. Now you still want to hold her back. Do you think she's easy to bully?"

"Ruan Shan doesn't even care about you, his own sister. Do you think moral blackmailing Ruan Qing will work? Just because she doesn't want to fight you doesn't mean she's afraid."

In this world, good people are often bullied.

After all, Ruan Qing has been a doctor for so many years, and she has a kind heart. She can't bear to be cruel in many things, but Lin Ziqiu is different.

How could someone who had crawled out of the abyss pity someone like Ruan Cui?

ridiculous.

Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her voice added a chill to the icy weather. "If you don't want the face I'm giving you, you can try it yourself. As long as I'm here, even if you starve to death at my doorstep, I won't give you a single grain of rice!"

Ruan Cui is shameless and has no bottom line.

Therefore, Lin Ziqiu had to say some harsh words in advance, and Ruan Cui would consider whether she dared to do something without considering the consequences.

As expected, after being threatened by Lin Ziqiu, Ruan Cui looked embarrassed. Although she was so angry that her gums were shaking, she could only swallow her anger.

"Alright! Lin Ziqiu, you've got guts! Let's wait and see! I want to see if you can still be so arrogant when you're kicked out of the Zhong family!"

Ruan Cui just fell down and twisted her ankle.

She limped away, leaning on her grandson.

In the yard, Ruan Qing did not rush to change clothes, but secretly peeked behind the gate.

Seeing the mother and son walking away, she jumped out and said, "You can do it! You scared them away just like that."

"Barefoot is not afraid of those wearing shoes. Ruan Cui was beaten by me before, and she knows that I am a man of my word. She dares to gamble herself, but she dare not gamble with her grandson."

Lin Ziqiu tugged at Ruan Qing's arm, frowned, and said disdainfully, "Why don't you go change your clothes? If you catch a cold, don't infect me."

Ruan Qing disagreed, "How can I be that fragile - A-choo -"

Lin Ziqiu: “…”

Whatever he said came true, and Lin Ziqiu even wondered if his mouth was blessed.

Ruan Qing stayed in bed for a day and a night because of his illness. He had a high fever and was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep.

"Her fever hasn't gone down yet?"

Li Guixiang brought in the food, but Lin Ziqiu didn't go downstairs to eat.

"Not yet. I gave him antipyretics, but the fever just won't go down." Lin Ziqiu was a little helpless.

She didn't know medicine, and it was raining heavily and freezing outside so she couldn't go out or go to the hospital.

If this goes on, she is worried that Ruan Qing will be burned stupid.

Li Guixiang sighed, "What should I do?"

Lin Ziqiu took the food and put it aside. She had no appetite at the moment.

Logically speaking, Ruan Qing is a doctor, so her physical condition shouldn't be so bad. I went to pick her up in the middle of the night before, and she wasn't sick.

How come I caught a cold this time?

"I'll wipe her with alcohol later to see if I can cool her down physically." Lin Ziqiu really didn't understand much about this.

In her previous life, she had been exercising regularly and her physique had always been good, so she rarely got sick.

All we can do now is give it a try.

After a pause, she reminded, "Mom, you all need to keep warm. It's easy to catch a cold in this weather."

Li Guixiang nodded, "I know, you don't have to worry about us."

She patted Lin Ziqiu's shoulder and said, "You should eat something. Your health is important."

At this time, Zhong Xuexi also came in, "Let's just cool her down physically. Do you have any alcohol at home?"

In this day and age, not every family has medicine on hand. Lin Ziqiu kept many of his medicines in the warehouse and didn't take them out, intending to take them out when they were needed.

She couldn't take it out right now, so she stood up and said, "I think it should be in my room. I'll go look for it."

"to make."

Not long after, Lin Ziqiu brought the alcohol over, and she and Zhong Xuexi each took half.

Ruan Qing opened her eyes halfway through wiping with alcohol. She grabbed Lin Ziqiu's hand and shouted hoarsely, "I... my coat pocket..."

"Cough cough..."

She coughed a few times, her voice hoarse, "Yes, there is a letter from Zhong Heyang."

Lin Ziqiu paused, and instead of looking for it immediately, he said, "It seems you haven't gone crazy yet. Just bear with it and wait for the temperature to drop."

Ruan Qing felt as if his throat was cut by a knife.

It hurts badly.

Moreover, her whole body was extremely sore, and her body temperature kept soaring, and she felt a severe burning in her chest.

The feeling of heat and cold was intertwined. She had never been tortured so much by a cold.

Zhong Xuexi wiped her forehead and said, "I told you not to listen. Your clothes are wet but you still want to watch the show. Now you will learn a lesson!"

Ruan Qing pursed his lips in grievance and wanted to speak, but his throat wouldn't allow it.

She hadn't eaten much, she couldn't eat at all, and just talking had already used up all her energy.

"Close your eyes."
