Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 671 Decision

Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "I’m not at ease."

"Let’s go to the hospital first and hear the doctor’s opinion here. I think there’s no problem. Now that the city is so chaotic, what will I do if something happens to you?"

Jiang Xinyu gave Wei Kaiyun a sidelong glance; this person was too cautious, never at ease about anything.

Although Jiang Xinyu complained verbally, her face was adorned with a smile, a feeling of happiness filling her. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Is the county hospital doctor reliable?"

"We won’t know until we check it out, but it’s definitely more peaceful here than in the city."

Wei Kaiyun had no choice; he parked directly at the county hospital.

The three kids were too hot in the car, which made Jiang Xinyu uneasy. She woke them up, and the family of five went inside together.

The gynecologist here was a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties.

She had Jiang Xinyu lie down and touched her belly, "About ten days to go, the baby’s position is fine, no need to worry."

This doctor’s expertise satisfied Wei Kaiyun.

"Doctor, when should we come back?"

"Ten days later is fine, no need to worry, your wife’s health is very well maintained."

Only then did Wei Kaiyun’s smile become heartfelt. He liked children, but they couldn’t compare to his wife.

If the child affected his wife, he would choose his wife without hesitation.

Upon hearing the doctor say his wife’s health was good, he finally felt relieved.

The family left the hospital and went to pick up Li Yungui.

"Xiao Wei, Teacher Jiang, why did you come back so early?"

"Village Chief Li, the city is too chaotic. After our hospital visit, we bought grain for Old Yang and for us, then came back."

Li Yungui paused for a moment, furrowing his brows, "Is it already that chaotic?"

Jiang Xinyu wanted to say that this was just the beginning, and people would become more irrational in the future, but she couldn’t say that.

"Village Chief Li, have you bought your things?"

"Not yet, I took a nap at the gate after lunch, and you arrived."

"That’s perfect, I wanted to check out the supply and marketing cooperative too."

The group arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, where the clerk, seeing the car, remained polite.

Jiang Xinyu bought two bolts of cloth, some condiments, and plenty of toilet paper to split with Jing Chu and Zhao Xiaoli.

The three children didn’t have anything they wanted to buy, but Li Yungui bought them a pound of rice candy.

The city pastries are much better, but the three children were still happy to accept, thanking Li Yungui.

"Teacher Jiang, why did you buy so many pencils?"

"When it’s offseason for farming, I’ll give the kids a test, and these are rewards for good scores."

"How can we let Teacher Jiang spend money?" Li Yungui was very embarrassed, though he gave Teacher Jiang full points, having her spend her own money for children’s rewards was embarrassing.

"It’s fine, they’re all my students. Village Chief Li, don’t take it to heart."

Li Yungui didn’t make any promises on the spot, but planned to discuss it with the village back home, as they can’t let her spend her own money.

Having bought all the necessary things, the group drove back.

Along the way, Wei Kaiyun and Li Yungui chatted about the situation in the city.

"These people really don’t know any better. If our village had someone like that, we’d break their legs immediately."

"Village Chief Li, times have changed, so don’t be too harsh. We have a radio at home, we can use it to let folks hear news from outside daily and prevent them from getting fooled by outsiders."

"Thank you, Xiao Wei. We definitely need to teach them properly. I’ve been keeping them in line these months. Once Teacher Jiang recovers, during the farming offseason, we’ll teach them properly, so they won’t be ignorant."

"Village Chief Li, the children in our village are all good; rest assured, I’ll teach them wholeheartedly."

"No way, tomorrow morning during work, I must address it. Anyone who disagrees should leave quickly, don’t let one bad apple spoil the bunch."

It’s not surprising Li Yungui isn’t aware, the county has been quite calm.

Back in the village, they first sent Li Yungui home, Jiang Xinyu took out a piece of smoked meat weighing about two pounds, a pound of brown sugar, and a pound of regular sugar to give to Li Yungui.

"Let the kids have a treat."

"How can I accept this? I can’t take it."

"Village Chief Li, let’s not argue, it won’t look good if someone sees."

Li Yungui finally accepted it; upon returning home, he asked his wife to quickly put away the meat.

"Where did it come from?"

"Xiao Wei and Teacher Jiang gave it."

"Why did you accept it?"

"They insisted, fine, just take it. They won’t have anything to ask of me, I’ll repay them later.

Also, this was for them, someone even asked me to buy toilet paper? Next time I won’t do such errands."

"Alright, next time we won’t bother you, if Teacher Jiang weren’t pregnant, we wouldn’t ask."

The village chief’s wife happily took everything out and placed it on the kang, telling their youngest son to call everyone. She even gave him two fruit candies, seeing her son’s delighted face made her heart ache a bit, as her family had little means, even begrudging candy for the kids.

Watching her son run out, she hurriedly put away the meat and sugar, not being stingy wasn’t an option, it looked plentiful, but once divided it wouldn’t go far.

Li Yungui didn’t bother with his wife, he went to find Yun Qiang to discuss how the brigade should express their stance on Jiang Xinyu’s rewards for the children.

Although their life was better, that was their business; the village might not be rich, but they couldn’t pretend they’re unaware.

The five village cadre gathered at the brigade office, upon hearing the village chief’s words, "Brother, let’s have Teacher Jiang pay for it, we’ll compensate her from elsewhere.

This way, the kids and villagers will be more grateful to Teacher Jiang and appreciative of their family," Li Yunqiang said after thinking.

Brigade Captain Li Cunshan nodded, "Yes, Yungui, let’s give Teacher Jiang extra grain and meat when we allocate at the end of the year."

"That’s fine too. Teacher Jiang is really kind.

By the way, Wei Kaiyun went to the city today, it’s really chaotic there, our county is quite peaceful, tomorrow when we assign tasks, we must alert everyone, our village mustn’t have ignorant people."

Everyone nodded, indeed, the village has been unusually quiet, they can’t afford any trouble, it’s hard-earned calm. They haven’t had enough good times yet.

Wei Kaiyun drove the car directly into the yard and started unloading things.

Jiang Xinyu instructed Sister-in-law Liu to cut off a piece of meat for making dumplings tonight, for braising tomorrow, and to salt the rest, hanging it in the storeroom. That’s the only way in summer, it’s unavoidable, though salted meat isn’t healthy, as long as you don’t eat too much it’ll be fine.
