Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 701: High Fever

Ms. Chu saw Luo Wu return and burst into tears of relief, but when she learned that the Gu Family was angry, she started beating Luo Wu: "What on earth were you thinking? Uncle Dashan and his family have been so good to you, and you do not return. Who deserves this? I’ll beat you to death."

Father Luo stopped Ms. Chu: "Don’t hit him now. Brother Wu has something to say to everyone, let’s go inside first."

Ms. Chu, still furious, gave Luo Wu a couple more punches.

Qin San Lang leading two horses said: "Third Grandpa, Uncle Dashan, I’ll head home first."

This is a matter concerning the Gu Family and the Luo Family, and it relates to Gu Jinxiu, so it’s not appropriate for him to go in and listen.

"Ah, San Lang, thank you for your hard work." Gu Dashan and Father Luo were grateful to Qin San Lang, who had grown ever more capable over the past three years, sometimes seeming like the pillar of their homes.

Qin San Lang smiled and said, "It’s not hard; this is what I should do."

After speaking, he looked towards Gu Jinli, his eyes clearly conveying his meaning.

Gu Jinli: "..."

This kid is getting bolder, daring to make such gestures in front of so many people.

Seeing her turn her face away and ignore him, Qin San Lang knew she understood his intention and started laughing, looking at Luo Wu: "Brother Luo Wu, no need to rush to the government office tomorrow, I will ask for leave on your behalf."

After all this trouble and seeing that Luo Wu looked abnormal, likely due to a high fever from alcohol and catching cold, it seemed that after explaining everything to the Gu Family, he certainly wouldn’t be able to get up tomorrow.

Luo Wu felt alternately hot and cold, his mouth dry as fire, his head heavy and feet light, but he knew he had to explain clearly to the Gu Family, and not let this matter pass vaguely.

Good Brother An was right; he only wanted Sister Xiu to enjoy the life of a wealthy family, but had he ever considered whether Sister Xiu liked such a life?

She fears strangers; she has been afraid of strangers since she was young, dislikes unfamiliar people, and unfamiliar places. The best thing would be for him to strive for a future and marry her back, allowing her to stay in a familiar environment with familiar people.

Luo Wu knew that securing a good future was difficult, but after the incident with the Zhan Family, he really couldn’t bear to give her to someone else. What if someone else bullied her?

What he couldn’t stand the most was someone else bullying her.

"What are you dazing about? Hurry up and go inside to clarify things." Father Luo urged Luo Wu.

Luo Wu came back to his senses, glanced at Gu Jinxiu, and felt the desire to marry her and provide for her becoming even stronger. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Gu Jinxiu knew Luo Wu was looking at her, her face blushing deeply, her tightly pursed lips slightly curving, clearly happy.

Mrs. Cui saw her eldest daughter’s demeanor and felt very happy in her heart. The marriage of these two children had been through a lot, and it seemed it was finally about to happen.

Mrs. Cui took her eldest daughter’s hand, calling to Gu Jinli: "Xiao Yu has gone home, I’ve stewed some lamb soup for you and prepared noodles to go with it. I’ll have Xiao Ji cook them for you now."

"Ah." Seeing her family happy, Gu Jinli’s mood also brightened, and she followed them into the house.

As soon as he entered the dining hall, Luo Wu knelt down and explained how Master Xia and his wife had schemed to get close to him, how he had been stubborn, and the outcome for Master Xia and his wife.

In the end, with a bang, he bowed his head and said, "This time I fell for Master Xia and his wife’s plot and almost harmed Sister Xiu. Uncle Dashan, Aunt Dashan, if you want to hit or scold me, go ahead, Luo Wu is ready to take it."

Gu Dashan and Mrs. Cui, both very good-natured people who had watched Luo Wu grow up, had considered him as their son-in-law for over a decade, where would they be willing to hit or scold him.

"Get up, this is not your fault; it’s all because Master Xia and his wife are too scheming." Mrs. Cui used to respect Master Xia and his wife a lot, but after learning about what they had done, even her good-natured self got angry: "Such elderly people, how could they use such methods to harm a child."

Brother Wu is only just over twenty, honest and hardworking; what’s not to like about him? Why can’t Master Xia and his wife appreciate Brother Wu?

She always thought the world of Brother Wu; back in their hometown, their family of six suffered from the Old Gu Family’s grinding poverty, barely getting enough to eat. It was Brother Wu who went hunting in the mountains, secretly baked rabbit meat and brought it to them.

Not just once or twice, but for many years, if Brother Wu hadn’t delivered food to them, the four children might have starved to death or fallen seriously ill.

Hearing Mrs. Cui’s words, Luo Wu was immensely grateful; he almost caused harm to Sister Xiu, yet Uncle Dashan and Aunt Dashan did not blame him.

Feeling touched, he wanted to express his gratitude, but suddenly his body started to fall backwards.

"Brother Luo Wu!" Gu Jinxiu cried out in alarm, rushing over while Father Luo and Ms. Chu also hurried to check on him.

Luo Wu’s head was dizzy, and he could barely open his eyes, yet he still forced out a word: "...I’m fine."

He didn’t want Sister Xiu to worry.

After speaking, everything went dark, and he lost consciousness.

Gu Jin’an touched Luo Wu’s forehead and said, "It’s very hot; he has a fever. Xiao Yu, bring the Convenient Medicine."

Gu Jinli took out a bottle of Rapid Cooling Pills and handed it to Gu Jin’an: "Just take one pill, it’s very effective for reducing fever."

Then, he walked out of the dining room and called Sister Li who was guarding the gates: "Go call Da Tuan, tell him to fetch Uncle Dai from the pharmaceutical workshop, Brother Luo Wu has fainted from a high fever."

"Eh," Sister Li responded, quickly running to the gatehouse to tell Da Tuan.

Da Tuan, who was adept with fists and feet and knew the roads well, brought Doctor Dai back in less than 30 minutes.

After taking pulse and administering acupuncture, Doctor Dai smiled and said: "Brother Wu has a strong constitution. This sickness is due to emotional stagnation coupled with catching a cold and drinking too much alcohol. He’s going to be fine after a few days’ rest."

It’s worry that has made him fall ill. As long as he doesn’t deliberately neglect himself and lets go of his worries, with Luo Wu’s physical foundation, he wouldn’t be sick.

Gu Jinxiu’s eyes were red, though she did not cry, and she asked Doctor Dai: "Uncle Dai, did you bring any medicine? Is it the Convenient Medicine or a soup that needs to be brewed?"

Ms. Chu was very pleased after hearing this; despite Sister Xiu’s delicate appearance, she handled matters decisively and could bear responsibilities.

Doctor Dai smiled and said: "Just take a few pills of Convenient Medicine."

He opened his medicine box, took out two bottles of Convenient Medicine for the Luo Family: "One pill of each kind, three times a day, for three days."

Father Luo hurriedly accepted the medicine: "Thank you, Doctor Dai."

Doctor Dai nodded with a smile, did not stay longer, and went back after checking on Luo Wu.

Father Luo exchanged a few words with the Gu Family People, then carried Luo Wu, accompanied by Ms. Chu and Luo Huiniang, back home.

Uncle Dashan, worried, took up a torch along with Gu Jin’an to escort them, waiting until Luo Wu had taken his medicine and his fever had slightly subsided before heading home.

Before leaving, Father Luo specifically reassured them: "Concerning the Xia Family and Hu Yun Temple, our family will not leak a single word, rest assured."

Gu Jin’an replied, "We trust Uncle Luo."

With that, they walked away.

On the way, Uncle Dashan was quite worried: "Good Brother An, who exactly are Master Xia, Hu Yun Temple, and that young man who ran out tonight? Will they harm our family? Why is Master Hu helping our family so much? And why are Master Xia and his wife coming to town?"

Gu Jin’an smiled and said: "Dad, don’t worry, just remember, our family will never be at a loss."

He added: "Although Xia Gu wants to take charge of our family, look at tonight; in the end, it’s still our family who won. Xiao Yu even got hold of the Xia Family’s properties."
