Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Lv Beiguang put the medicine into Jiang Xinyu’s mouth. This time Jiang Xinyu responded, nodded, took the water, and swallowed the medicine.

”Xinyu, drink more water.”

”I’ll be fine after a nap, thank you all.”

The three men felt it was not appropriate to stay, so they gradually left the room.

Qian Jun was the last to leave, ”Jiang Xinyu, everything is behind us, we’re on our way home now.”

”Mm.”

After Jiang Xinyu and the others left, she lay down again. She felt dizzy, and when she woke up again, she noticed she had sweated a lot and felt much more relaxed.

”Jiang Xinyu, are you awake?”

”Secretary Lv, come in.”

Lv Beiguang came in holding a mug, ”This is rice porridge, have some.”

”Mm, thank you all, sorry for making you worry.”

”I was scared to death, calling you and no response. Let’s not talk about it now, eat quickly.”

Jiang Xinyu had no appetite, but seeing Lv Beiguang watching her anxiously, she had no choice but to eat.

However, after a few bites, she really couldn’t continue. ”Secretary Lv, just leave it for now, I really can’t eat at the moment.”

”Jiang Xinyu, you can’t skip meals.” Lv Beiguang said this, but seeing the little girl so weak, he really couldn’t force her.

”Mm, I’ll eat later, I just woke up and really can’t eat now.”

At this time, Qian Jun and Sun Baosheng came in.

”Girl, you’re just too stressed; you relaxed suddenly and got a fever.”

”Director Sun, I’m fine.”

The three of them saw she had no energy and decided not to stay longer, so they left.

Jiang Xinyu took out some sugar and made herself a strong glass of sugar water.

After drinking it, she felt much more comfortable, though still a bit dizzy. She knew she was just too stressed. In the afternoon, Qian Jun came over again and found Jiang Xinyu looking much better than she did at noon, which reassured him a bit.

”The station is coming up soon; I’ll go down to check in a while.”

”Mm, but if you do find someone stealing, don’t confront them directly. They’re all ruthless people, don’t get hurt.”

Qian Jun nodded, ”You should rest well.”

And so, it wasn’t until three days later that Jiang Xinyu finally recovered. Their journey was relatively smooth, with no incidents.

”Jiang Xinyu, you’re finally better; you scared me to death. I thought you were unbreakable and wouldn’t get sick, but this time I finally realized you’re just a little girl.”

Lv Beiguang couldn’t help but tease when he saw the spirited little girl.

”Sorry for worrying you.”

”Xinyu, you’ve lost weight, your small face became even smaller.”

”Yeah, it was hard for me to gain that weight!”

Jiang Xinyu felt she lost at least ten pounds. It takes a lot of good food to gain that back.

”No worries, when you get back, come to my house for a meal. We still have a big rooster at home; I’ll ask my wife to stew it for you to nourish back.”

”No need, save it for the New Year, I’ll eat more now that I’m better and gain it back.”

Jiang Xinyu tried to eat as much as she could in private, but regaining the weight wasn’t something that could be done overnight.

It’s already mid-July, they’ll probably reach home by the end of July.

The train ride was unbearably hot, but there was nothing to be done. Luckily, she mostly stayed inside her room, so it was alright wearing cooler clothes.

Finally, they arrived. Jiang Xinyu had never disliked riding a train as much as this time; it was too uncomfortable.

The four of them already discussed; they would sell the grain at fifty-five cents per pound and split the remaining money among themselves. This wasn’t considered breaking any rules.

After all, the losses were unknown, fifty-five cents shouldn’t result in a loss.

Upon arriving, Jiang Xinyu saw several factory directors present. Furniture Factory Director Liang Youfa rubbed his hands and smiled seeing the wood atop the car.

”Old Sun, thank you so much.”

”No need for thanks, how could I not think of you when I find good stuff?”

Jiang Xinyu was the last to get off the car and immediately spotted Wei Kaiyun in the crowd; she felt especially aggrieved.

Wei Kaiyun looked at the slimmed-down little girl, his heart ached, he pushed through the crowd, stood by her side, and restrained himself from hugging her there.

”Secretary Jiang, what’s wrong with you?” He was really worried.

Jiang Xinyu sniffed, ”I just had a fever on the train, I’m fine now.”

”Oh, go home and rest.”

”I can’t yet, I have to distribute the grain.”

”Just tell me, I’ll handle it.”

Jiang Xinyu still shook her head, ”I’m fine now, really. But there are still over fourteen thousand pounds left.”

”I’ll take care of it.”

The village gets eight thousand yuan, which is fourteen thousand five hundred forty-six pounds. Lv Beiguang has two thousand pounds. Hao Shichao and others get nine thousand ninety-one pounds. In total, it’s twenty-five thousand six hundred thirty-seven pounds, with fourteen thousand three hundred sixty-three left. This is no small amount.

Jiang Xinyu found Qian Jun, ”Mr. Qian, I’d like to borrow a car to inform the village to come and get the grain, is that possible?”

”Why go through the trouble? Just load it into trucks and transport it directly back.”

”Thank you, Mr. Qian.”

Hao Shichao also came over, ”Secretary Jiang, thank you for your hard work.”

”No hard work, but you should find a way to transport the grain back; there are nine thousand ninety-one pounds.”

”I’ve arranged everything already, which car is ours?”

”The last one.”

”Secretary Jiang, I’ll take you home, I’ll handle the arrangements, don’t worry.” Wei Kaiyun couldn’t bear seeing the little girl’s suffering.

”Yeah, Secretary Jiang, go home, with Director Wei here, there won’t be problems.”

”Mm, then I’ll head home.”

”Secretary Jiang, let Wang Fangtian take you home.” Shen Shinan said with a smile.

”Thanks, Director Shen.”

”No worries.”

”No need, I’ll take her home. Director Shen, hurry up and arrange a car.”

When they reached the doorstep, Jiang Xinyu opened the door, and Wei Kaiyun followed her inside. He closed the door and picked Jiang Xinyu up.

”Wife, you’ve suffered, why did you lose so much weight?”

”It’s alright, I’ll gain it back soon.”

”You should hurry back to the station. After the village’s car is loaded, I have to go back as well. I just want to lie down for a bit now.”

”Alright, once the car is loaded, I’ll come back for you.”

Wei Kaiyun kissed her on the lips, then let her go and left.

Jiang Xinyu boiled some water; lacking energy, she used the trick throughout the process.

Sitting in the bathtub, she felt so much more relaxed. Although it’s unusual to take a bath in the middle of summer, her current weak condition made the bath quite bearable.

Afterward, she ate a chicken leg and a meat bun.

Just like when she first arrived, regaining strength with meat.

She lay on the warm kang bed and soon fell asleep.

In the evening, they finally managed to transport the timber away at the railway.

Hao Shichao and others’ grain was also taken away, leaving just the village’s grain now.

Shen Shinan generously lent a vehicle, and all fourteen thousand three hundred sixty-three pounds were loaded on it.
