The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme

“Let’s go.” Zhuang Yutian really didn’t want to see Zhuang Roman’s extremely disgustful face anymore, and he led the now-recovered Zhuang Yuchcng away.

Zhuang Ruman finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the bed.

The pain on his body and his face came in waves, but he no longer had the strength to howl, so he could only endure it.

You two bastards, you just wait!

Sooner or later, I will get even with you!

According to what had been discussed with Mrs. Wen before, Zhuang Qingning made pumpkin shredded pancakes that evening. These were the kind with extra flour and plenty of garlic cucumber in vinegar, as well as sweet jujube soup, and all of these were sent to Mrs. Wen.

“It’s edible.” Mrs. Wen tasted the pumpkin shredded pancake, didn’t raise her head, and directly started eating.

“Well, Aunt Wen, you eat first. 1’11 go home and have dinner too.” Seeing that Mrs. Wen was very happy eating, Zhuang Qingning did not stay longer and went home.

The sisters finished their dinner and cleaned up.

Because they were worried about the visit to the tofu factory in the middle of the night, and also that they had to remove the soaked beans to produce bean sprouts, Zhuang Qingning took Zhuang Qingsui to bed early.

As soon as the two sisters lay in bed, they heard the sound of the wind outside, followed by the sound of raindrops hitting the rooftop tiles and window sills.

“The rain sure came quickly.” Zhuang Qingsui listened to the rain outside and frowned: “It’s raining hard. If it keeps up like this, the roads will be muddy, and might hinder the tofu delivery to town and the county.”

“If it comes quickly, it should leave quickly as well.”

Zhuang Qingning said: “The heavy rain will not soak the road. Unlike the continuous drizzle that lasts for several days, the road is trampled into mud. It depends on how long the rain lasts.”

“Let’s check it out in the middle of the night. If it’s still raining then we will figure out what to do. For now, let’s get some sleep. Worrying is useless.”

“Okay.” Zhuang Qingsui nodded and obediently lay down to sleep.

As a child, she fell asleep quickly. Not long after lying down, she was already sound asleep. Zhuang Qingning touched her little forehead, and entered the dreamland with peace of mind.

[Ding, the host triggers the task ‘Better a neighbor near than a brother far off’. A generous reward will be given after the task is completed.]

In the middle of the night, a voice suddenly came from Zhuang Qingning’s mind.

‘Better a neighbor near than a brother far off’ represents the deep mutual aid and friendship between neighbors. Xiao Wu (a voice in her head?) suddenly gave her this task. Does it mean that something happened to a family nearby?

Zhuang Qingning immediately woke up and sat up.

Give me some accurate information, Xiao Wu, so that I know who to help.

[Keyword Hint: Mrs. Wen]

Aunt Wen?

At this late hour, and with everything else that happened today, Mrs. Wen was deeply upset. Could something have happened to her now?

Thinking that elderly people easily suffer from high blood pressure and are extremely prone to life-threatening emergencies such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction, Zhuang Qingning did not dare to delay, quickly dressed, got out of bed and put on her shoes.

“Big Sister, what’s wrong?” Zhuang Qingsui, who was awakened by Zhuang Qingning, rubbed her drowsy eyes. Seeing Zhuang Qingning getting dressed and putting on her shoes, she was very surprised: “Big Sister, where are you going?”

“I feel very restless, and want to go to Aunt Wen’s house to have a look.” Said Zhuang Qingning: “With what happened during the day, I’m afraid Aunt Wen might not be able to handle it, in case something happens, I’m thinking of going to check.”

Zhuang Qingning couldn’t talk about Xiao Wu, she could only explain it as a gut feeling. If others asked about it later, she would have something to say.

“You wait at home, I’ll be back soon.”

“I’d better go with Big Sister.” Zhuang Qingsui also started to get dressed: “After hearing what Big Sister said, I’m also feeling a bit uneasy. I’m a little worried about Aunt Wen, I want to go see her too.”

“In case something happens, I can also run errands and call for help.”

“Alright.” Zhuang Qingning nodded, and the two sisters got their shoes on, locked the door, and headed to Mrs. Wen’s house.

The rain had already stopped, and the sky was completely clear now. Although the moon was somewhat obscure by the thin clouds, the stars were already shining. The two sisters didn’t need any lanterns and could clearly see the road under their feet.

When they arrived at Mrs. Wen’s house, Zhuang Mingliang and others had already started working on making tofu.

“Big Sister Ning, you’re here.” Zhuang Mingliang was fetching water from the water tank in the yard. Upon seeing Zhuang Qingning enter, he put down his bucket: “Is there something wrong?”

Zhuang Qingning hardly visited the tofu factory at night during this period. Her sudden arrival now made Zhuang Mingliang worry if something had happened.

“There’s nothing wrong with the tofu factory, it’s just that today Aunt Wen was very angry because of what happened earlier, I’m afraid something will happen, so I came over to check and see how she is.”

Zhuang Qingning still explained it in this manner: “You can keep working, I’ll just take a look inside.”

“Okay.” Zhuang Mingliang responded and continued his work.

Zhuang Qingning walked to the door, knocked and said: “Aunt Wen, it’s Ning. Are you okay now?”

The answer was silence.

“Then I will come in…”

Zhuang Qingning pushed the door, seeing it wasn’t locked, she entered, walked over to the bed, and saw Mrs. Wen lying quietly on the bed. She could clearly hear her breathing.

However, this breath was extremely rapid, not like a normal adult’s respiratory rate at all.

Zhuang Qingning felt a sink in her heart and hurriedly reached out to touch Mrs. Wen’s forehead.

It was very hot. Mrs. Wen had a fever.

Zhuang Qingning quickly sat on the edge of the bed, whispering: “Aunt Wen, wake up, wake up.”

Mrs. Wen, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes when called by Zhuang Qingning, but they were blank and spiritless. Her lips were slightly parted, as if trying to say something, but in the end, she didn’t make a sound, then her eyes closed tightly again.

At this moment, there was no thermometer to accurately know Mrs. Wen’s temperature, but looking at her condition now, it seemed she was delirious because of the high fever.

“Qingsui, Mrs. Wen has a high fever. Go quickly and get a basin of water, cold water, not hot water, go quickly.”

Zhuang Qingning ordered: “Also tell Mingliang, let him help find some wine in this room.”

Dilute the wine with cold water, to physically lower the fever.

“Okay.” Zhuang Qingsui quickly agreed. She rushed to fetch the water and called Zhuang Mingliang to find wine.

The cool water and wine were quickly brought over. Zhuang Qingning wet a cloth and placed it on Mrs. Wen’s forehead for cold compresses. She then soaked another cloth in cold water to wipe her neck, underarms, and thigh roots to physically lower the fever.

Mrs. Wen was indeed an old lady, but she was still particular about men and women. Zhuang Mingliang didn’t have to stay in the inner room.. Instead, he asked from the hall: “Shall I go and call my father now to get a doctor?”
