Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 944: Chapter 945: How Heavy the Heart Is

”Mmm, it tastes good, doesn’t it? Everything I bring is of course all good, the water is delicious, and so are the pastries. Do you have the energy to eat some pastries now? Go ahead, eat.”

Chiang Xiao also sighed with relief.

She quickly glanced at Meng Xinian and saw his hands trembling slightly.

Her heart ached, and a deep sympathy for him surged within her.

Meng Xinian was never one to wear his emotions on his sleeve, especially towards others. He always seemed a bit cold. But no matter how he usually cursed at Zhao Xin, even pursuing personal vendettas, when Zhao Xin told her about Du Jinruo’s case, he had severely punished Zhao Xin.

Yet in his heart, he still held them in high regard.

Before she came, she didn’t know how much pain he was in, how heavy his heart was.

Watching Zhao Xin inch toward death.

And he still couldn’t lose control, not even a bit.

Chiang Xiao whispered to Meng Xinian, ”Brother Xinian, Xinzi will be alright, believe me.”

That sentence seemed to lift a massive stone from Meng Xinian’s chest all at once.

He let out a breath.

And felt as though he had come back to life.

”Mmm.” He only uttered a sound in agreement.

Chiang Xiao turned away and didn’t look at Zhao Xin again; there was a pregnant woman she needed to attend to.

The potion was already boiling.

It must’ve been one of the villagers who couldn’t bear to leave behind even this little charcoal stove during the evacuation, hence why it was here. Otherwise, how could there still be such a stove here?

At that moment, Chiang Xiao wasn’t sure whether to call this villager foolish.

She poured out the potion and placed it next to the villagers, ”Let it cool for a while, after you finish the pastries, then feed it to your wife, drink it all, the taste of this medicine is a bit strange, you’ll have to bear with it.”

The villager held a piece of pastry, waking his wife and feeding her little by little.

Strangely enough, though the wife had previously been unable to eat anything, she now ate a piece of pastry and, judging by her expression, seemed to find it delicious.

The supplies sent from the Alliance District had one truck whose contents had been soaked and were no longer good, while the other truck contained some compressed biscuits and the like, which the wife couldn’t swallow at all. She hadn’t eaten anything for two days, surviving only on some warm water. He had been somewhat hopeless, the village was already half submerged, and hardly anyone had been able to save any grain. Where could they find food?

But now, this lovely young lady had arrived, bringing with her such life-saving items!

Only after eating a piece of pastry did the wife truly open her eyes and, holding her belly, looked towards her husband, ”Zhuzi, I’m thirsty...”

”Alright, alright, here’s some water, let’s drink water!”

Zhuzi wiped his eyes and lifted the cup of potion, sipping a little to test the temperature. Indeed, the medicine tasted a bit odd, but it was bearable.

He just worried whether his wife could drink it.

”This is medicine from the doctor, it doesn’t taste very nice, drink it carefully, try a sip first.”

”A doctor, there’s a doctor? Then our child...”

”Sister-in-law, the child will be fine, just drink the medicine and that’s all,” Chiang Xiao observed her complexion carefully, her heart easing slightly.

She had no medical skills, what she relied on were just the medicinal herbs and Spiritual Spring Water from the Space. But she could see the change in their complexions after eating the Spiritual Spring Water and the medicine. She could spot even the slightest change, and now it seemed that the Spring Water and pastries were having an effect.

Only then did the sister-in-law notice Chiang Xiao, and she looked over, ”Young lady, are you the doctor?”
