——————
Yan Jinsu, for once, acted on a whim, arriving quietly and leaving like the wind, without a trace.
The next day, as dawn broke, she went to the front courtyard, where her elder sister-in-law had already awakened, and was busily helping their mother-in-law prepare breakfast!
Yan Jinsu glanced at the rising sun, everything was normal.
On this side, Yan Jinsu had just finished feeding her child breakfast, and on the other, the village chief’s youngest son ca over to invite both Xie Tiesheng and Yan Jinsu to a eting.
Overnight, Qingfeng Village buzzed like a hot pot, bustling with noise and discussion until eight o’clock when everyone had arrived.
Initially, the presence of Yan Jinsu in the village committee, sitting next to Xie Tiesheng, drew sidelong glances and whispers, but since the Ten Village Elders beside her raised no objections, who would dare to cause trouble?
Yan Jinsu was quite surprised.
She thought many would oppose her participation in the eting, but it seed like everyone simply ignored her presence as a woman.
If there were any real feelings about it, it was from the older won in the village, who couldn’t understand why Yan Jinsu, a new bride, deserved a place among the village elders.
Yan Jinsu, sitting at the front, could even hear the murmurs, inquiries, and questions through the walls from outside...
"Quiet, today we are here to discuss matters. If you have questions, save them for after the eting. Now, as a priority, starting tonight, mbers of the Civilian Army will gather at the village committee at seven each evening. All n aged seventeen to forty-five must also report, as we are arranging a village patrol."
The first to speak was Zhou Weihai, and after him, the village chief Xie Jingqiang spoke:
"I won’t say much, as I believe everyone understands what happened last night. Yes, our village was attacked by a wild wolf!
The reasons, the village committee will later post the punishnt for the incident.
Everyone, be quiet! Making mistakes requires accepting punishnt, but I also want to say, the children had good intentions. They were just too young, hence the panic and mistakes, so do not harbor too much resentnt towards them.
Another point, although the children made mistakes, their actions alerted the entire village that the wild wolves have co!
And have already launched night raids for two consecutive days!
Thus, we should thank the children. Don’t just bla them; their willingness to contribute to the villagers cos from a good place! Being bold can have its advantages!
Quiet!
Now, the most urgent issue is how to enhance the security of our village! I have already asked Xie Jingwen to go to the main station and request assistance from the public security.
However, Qingfeng Village is ours, and in the end, its security depends on us who live here to defend!"
Xie Jingqiang’s words repeatedly stirred emotional discussions among the villagers, who whispered and chatted non-stop, but fortunately, after his reminder, they finally quieted down.
"Since many households still have not completed the autumn harvest, those gentlen who wish to stay and participate in the discussion, please remain quiet. Those who need to harvest may leave, and the last group on patrol last night may go ho to rest."
After a while, the village committee was half-empty. Most of those who left were won and children.
The autumn harvest had ended early, and those who hadn’t finished generally had too much land, including the couple Xie Jingwei, and Xu Xiaofen’s lazy younger brother. Once most of the won and children left, it finally beca much quieter.
And Yan Jinsu felt that the air had improved slightly.
As people gradually dispersed, a small incident occurred; it was Xie Jingbin’s mother who hurried over, crying to Xie Jingqiang.
It turned out that a few children who had gone back had washed their wounds and applied so golden sore dicine, then fell asleep from sheer exhaustion. Unexpectedly, from the break of dawn, these children started to develop high fevers one after another.
Because the village had imposed a punishnt, these sick children were still forced to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishnt, which distressed all their mothers.
However, the village had decided on the punishnt, and no family dared to object.
Eventually, it was Xie Jingbin’s mother who, running out of breath, thought to herself that she was still part of the clan leader’s family. Could she really just stand by and watch them die?
Hearing this, without Wang Guicai around, nobody in the village knew how to deal with bone injuries. At this mont, they were stuck as the tractor had been driven away by Xie Jingwen.
How long would it take if they used an ox-cart?
It was Yan Jinsu who stood up and said her family had so dicine. She suggested people first move the children back to the village council hall, and she would go fetch the dicine.
Trusting Yan Jinsu for her combat power, everyone surprisingly did not oppose, and this finally saved the children.
Seeing the children’s faces turning pale overnight, Yan Jinsu knew that they certainly had bacteria in their bodies, and now there was no vaccine for rabies!
With Lin Zhaodi’s incident as a precedent, Qi Chunlan was indeed the unlucky one.
These children were the future pillars of Qingfeng Village. Just for the sake of their lives, Yan Jinsu could not stand by and watch them die.
She took out the dicine, worried that it might be too slow-acting, she then used Superpower Water to wash their wounds again, applied the golden sore dicine, and took the opportunity while giving them water to also administer the dicine.
With the children so sick, the punishnt could only wait until they recovered, and each of them tearfully expressed their gratitude to Yan Jinsu.
Among them, Mrs. Zhou was the most grateful. Jingchen’s wife did not just save her child, she also salvaged this unexpected accident!
What’s most important is that each child finally recovered from their illness, which alone was enough to make Mrs. Zhou cry tears of joy!
If anything had happened to any child, Zhou Guoqing would never be able to hold his head high in the village again!
So mistakes cannot simply be forgiven because of young age.
After sending away the patients and won, Yan Jinsu imdiately felt a relief in her ears, as Mrs. Zhou and the other mothers had just been crying uncontrollably, leaving Yan Jinsu unsure how to console them.
With that managed, there were finally not many people left in the village council hall, except for a few gossipy old won, and only Wang Chuni, a little girl, stayed behind, unwilling to leave.
Wang Chuni was also anxious inside; she wanted to ruin Yan Jinsu’s reputation, but unexpectedly, after one night, all the village elders started to respect her instead!
This was completely contrary to her expectations.
Then, seeing Yan Jinsu selflessly provide dicine to save her playmates and cousin, her heart sank even more.
How could she continue to resent this woman in her heart!
Seeing her cousin’s face turn from red and blue to pale, even she, foolish as she was, could tell that the dicine Yan Jinsu had brought out earlier was indeed effective!
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken just about twenty minutes for each patient to sweat, their complexion changing from blueish-red to pale, even their fevers beginning to subside!
The old n present stared at the dicine porcelain bottle in Yan Jinsu’s hand, each of their eyes glinting with desire—
Absolutely good dicine!
