The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

"Then it might be something to do with Aunt Xu. The person behind it has become wary, so you'll have to keep up the act for a while longer."

Du Mingxian was utterly dejected. "That's right, we have to keep up the act for a while longer."

This went on for another half month. Thirteen days passed, and there was still no sign of anything happening. Du Mingxian herself was completely fed up.

Over the past ten days or so, Liu Ya and Du Mingxian have grown quite close because they work together every day and walk back and forth together.

Lin Guixiang hasn't caused any trouble lately. Liu Ya and Du Mingxian go out early in the morning and come back at noon to cook and eat in a hurry. They don't have time to chat with anyone.

Lin Guixiang tried to speak to the two men several times, but they gave vague answers and used being busy as an excuse to get through to her.

It was winter, and it got dark early. By the time the two returned home in the afternoon, it was already quite dark, and Lin Guixiang had no chance to talk to them anymore.

As the weather grew colder, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang went straight into the space after blowing out the candles that night. Why suffer when there was a comfortable environment?

So the two of them were completely unaware that snow had been falling all night.

When Du Mingxian woke up in the morning, she found the sky to be exceptionally bright. She got dressed and opened the door, and a blast of cold air hit her. The heavy snow that had been falling all night was still drifting down.

"Snowing."

She thought of the children back home, who would surely be overjoyed to see the snow. She wondered if it had snowed back home too. She had been busy trying to impress others and hadn't been home for several days.

She was completely focused on making clothes.

What a crime.

Seeing her happy smile, Ling Silang went to boil water to prepare for washing up.

There was no sound outside.

Ling Silang boiled water, and Du Mingxian washed up. By the time she finished, Ling Silang had already heated up two steamed buns and two eggs. The two of them also drank a cup of soy milk made by the space soy milk maker.

After finishing her meal, Du Mingxian still hadn't heard any movement from the Jiang family. She glanced at the time; it was already past seven.

Usually, the two of them would have arrived at the garment workshop by this time, but today Liu Ya hadn't gotten up yet.

It's suspicious if a diligent and self-disciplined person suddenly doesn't get out of bed one day.

Du Mingxian wrapped herself up and knocked on the Jiang family's door, "Sister Liu Ya, Sister Liu Ya."

There was a noise coming from inside the room. She stood at the door for a while and waited. Jiang Liting opened the door. "Where's Sister Liu Ya?"

Jiang Liting turned around blankly and saw Liu Ya, who had left in the past, still curled up in the corner and not getting up. He was extremely embarrassed. "I'll go call her."

The moment Jiang Liting lowered the curtain, Du Mingxian caught it. Because of the snow, she could see clearly inside. The bed occupied one corner, and in the other corner was a pile of straw. A cloth was spread on the straw, and Liu Ya was lying on it. Liu Ya was curled up in a ball, covered with a very thin thing, which she couldn't tell was a quilt or a cloth.

"Ya, Ya." Jiang Liting gently pushed Liu Ya twice but couldn't budge her. He stood there for a moment, at a loss.

Du Mingxian got angry when she saw Jiang Liting like that. Without saying a word, she walked straight in, quickly walked to Liu Ya's side, and without pushing her, placed her hand on Liu Ya's forehead.

piping hot.

"Fever."

"Oh no, what should we do?" Jiang Liting panicked immediately, as anxious as a child, her face turning pale.

Du Mingxian reached out and touched the cloth covering Liu Ya's body. She could feel a little bit of straw inside, but it was very thin.

I had heard Liu Ya mention before that she lived in a thatched hut, and now that I've actually seen it, I'm very angry, extremely angry. Since we had a lot of contact, I also feel sorry for her.

"She's in this state, carry her to the bed first."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Liting went to hug Liu Ya, and Du Mingxian hurriedly lifted the cloth hanging on the bed. These were probably two pieces of cloth that Liu Ya had hung up specially so that Jiang Liting wouldn't be cold at night, like a curtain.

She lifted him up with one hand, and when she turned around, she saw... Jiang Liting's face turned red, and she didn't pick him up.

Really... a scholar is useless in every way, Jiang Liting is quite a good-for-nothing.

Liu Ya works all day long, busy with chores, and is not fat at all. She always puts others first when there is something good to eat at home. She is very thin, and even Jiang Liting can't lift her up.

Seeing him like this, Du Mingxian didn't want to rely on him. "You come and lift the curtain, I'll do it."

Jiang Liting was a little embarrassed. "Is it okay?"

"Come here," Du Mingxian commanded directly.

Jiang Liting hurriedly lifted the curtain and watched as the thin woman walked over, picked up Liu Ya in one go, and did so very easily, without any effort.

For the first time in his life, he felt ashamed; he couldn't even lift the person next to him.

Du Mingxian placed the person on the bed and said, "Go find a rope, tie it up, and then go fetch a doctor."

"Oh."

Perhaps because he was afraid of the cold, he didn't tie a strap on the cloth. Jiang Liting went to find something, and Du Mingxian was speechless when she saw him like that, so she turned around and went back to her room.

“Liu Ya has a fever, and Jiang Liting doesn’t know anything about it. I asked him to tie a rope to the curtain, but he can’t even find the rope. You should go and find a doctor to come and take her pulse.”

"Okay." Ling Silang left.

Du Mingxian touched Liu Ya and determined that her temperature was definitely above 39 degrees Celsius. She took out two fever-reducing pills from her spatial storage and returned to the Jiang family.

Jiang Liting was still pacing around the room looking for a rope.

Unable to bear it any longer, Du Mingxian took a strip of cloth from her spatial storage and gave it to him, saying, "Use this."

"Oh." Jiang Liting took it and started to tie it, but he couldn't tie it well. The cloth would fall off after he tied it. He kept trying.

Du Mingxian didn't even point at him. She turned her back, took some hot water from her space, walked to the bedside, gave Liu Ya two fever-reducing pills, and then gave her some water.

Liu Ya was delirious with fever, but she still knew how to swallow. Du Mingxian was relieved to see that the medicine had been fed to her.

She didn't light the charcoal brazier; she just sat there watching Jiang Liting busy himself with all sorts of nonsense.

After everyone finished their work, Du Mingxian asked, "Do you know where to find a doctor?"

"Medical clinic".

"Okay, then go ahead."

"Oh."

Jiang Liting was only wearing a cotton coat and was about to leave without putting on any other clothes when Du Mingxian hurriedly reminded her, "It's snowing, are you really going out like this?"

He looked back at Du Mingxian, then down at his own clothes, realizing he hadn't put on any warm clothes yet, so he quickly put them on and was about to leave.

Du Mingxian was really afraid that after he went out, he wouldn't be able to find his way home and would lose himself.

"Have you left the courtyard since you came here?"

Jiang Liting shook her head, "No, I'm studying, I haven't gone out."

"Never mind, go and light the charcoal brazier, I'll find someone to help you find a doctor."

"well."

When Ling Silang invited the doctor over, Jiang Liting was still circling around the charcoal brazier, not knowing where to start. He kept adding charcoal to the brazier and then gently fanning it with a fan.

Du Mingxian, watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh. "There's no fire in here, what are you doing?"

Jiang Liting looked up, her eyes clear and innocent. "When Ya wasn't around, I would just add some charcoal and it would catch fire."
