Chapter 1213: Chapter 1035 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Yeye and Nan Feng were naturally worried about Xia Dabao going out alone with Tian Xiaobei late at night. With a young man and a young woman together at such a late hour, it was extremely easy for something to happen.

Moreover, Tian Xiaobei was the kind of person who would fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. How could she know when to get up? Yeye was afraid that even if he came to call her, she wouldn’t wake up.

So now, the nighttime activities were all being taken care of by Yeye and Tian Xiaobei together, and Xia Dabao was also unaware of the village chief’s condition.

"As for the village chief’s illness," Yeye looked at Xia Dabao, "I think he will be grateful to you in the future. It was you who recommended Xiaobei, that child’s medical skill is indeed quite remarkable."

...

"Yo, Sister Niu, what are you busy with?" Auntie Zhao went to the village chief’s house today.

She couldn’t sit still any longer and decided to come over to check on the village chief’s condition. Without seeing it for herself, she always felt uneasy.

Niu Family was in the yard picking chive leaves. Seeing Auntie Zhao come, she immediately got up, patted her buttocks, and moved a stool over for Auntie Zhao to sit on before looking at her: "Yo, why have you come?"

"Ah, I wanted to come see how the village chief’s illness was. It’s been so long since I came; we’re also worried," said Auntie Zhao.

At that moment, Wu Da came out from inside the yard and, hearing Auntie Zhao’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh: "Are you here to see when my dad is going to kick the bucket? What kind of concern is that?"

Niu Family immediately went to stop Wu Da: "What are you saying? They came with good intentions to see our father."

"What good intentions? I heard they’ve all gone to town; they’re preparing to become the village chief."

Auntie Zhao put down a package of cured meat: "Ah, Brother Wu, why do the words you say sound so awkward to me? My husband and I did go to town, but we hold no ill will toward the village chief. The village chief’s illness wasn’t caused by us, right? The village chief’s position is bound to need a successor eventually, isn’t it? Why are you picking a fight with me? I really did come today to be concerned about the village chief’s condition, not to stab the village chief with a knife."

"Let’s all say less, ah," Niu Family said, and then glared at Wu Da. Wu Da, depressed, picked up a shovel and went back to work.

Before long, Ma Family also came out. Ma Family had heard Auntie Zhao’s voice and came out. As soon as she saw Auntie Zhao, she immediately said politely: "Yo, Auntie Zhao has come. By the way, how was it in town? What did the gentry and Lizheng say?"

Niu Family also listened carefully.

Auntie Zhao smiled: "Ah, looking at Lizheng’s manner, there shouldn’t be any problems. I guess it’s pretty much a done deal, but we can’t be excessive. We must wait until the village chief’s hundredth year before it can be confirmed. Otherwise, what would everyone in the village think of us, right?"

Ma Family then said: "So you wanted to come and ask about our father’s condition, right? Ah, I reckon his days are numbered. Before, we could always hear coughing coming from the room. Now the room is dead silent; we haven’t heard a sound for a long time. Currently, Dongdong is the only one taking care of him inside. As for the situation, Dongdong doesn’t say much; just lets us go in to look. But Tuberculosis is contagious, you know; we wouldn’t dare go inside."

Upon hearing this, Auntie Zhao felt secretly pleased, but she didn’t dare show it on the surface. She asked, "Then, what if I go in to take a look?"

"You?" Niu Family said. "Aren’t you afraid of getting infected?"

"Ah, what’s there to fear? I’ll just cover my nose and go in. The main thing is I don’t know the village chief’s condition and want to be concerned about him. It’s not just me; many people in the village are asking about this."
