Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Drowning (8)_1 Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Drowning (8)_1 Ruan Hao rummaged through the wardrobe next to him for clothes, but even though he found some, he now faced a dilemma.
Despite being siblings and with his sister still being young, it seemed inappropriate to change her clothes like this. He hesitated, but then Ruan Bo shot him a glare, pushed him aside, snatched the clothes from his hand, and at such a time, proprieties couldnât be minded!
As he extended his hand and was about to reach under the quilt to change Ruan Jiaojiaoâs wet clothes, a suspicious female voice came from outside the door, âIs Auntie Ruan here? Auntie Ruan? Eh, what happened to you guys, gone fishing at Team Four? Youâre all covered inâŠâ
Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Hao rushed out, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into the room.
This was Auntie Niu from the village. The Ruan Family had been eating well recently, with meat every day, and the Ruanlin Family worried it might draw unwanted attention. So every now and then, sheâd go to Auntie Niuâs to buy a couple of pounds of meat to avoid standing out too much.
Auntie Niu had come today to deliver meat, but she didnât expect to be suddenly pulled into the house by Ruan Hao. She was still confused when she saw Ruan Jiaojiao on the bed, pale-faced and shivering violently; Auntie Niuâs own face turned pale.
âYou guys go out, get out!â She was a brisk person and immediately understood why Ruan Hao had dragged her in.
After she drove the boys and the clearly unwilling Xiu Xi out, she swiftly took off Ruan Jiaojiaoâs clothes, absentmindedly wiped her down with a towel, and quickly changed her into new clothes.
Throughout this whole process.
Ruan Jiaojiaoâs complexion remained deathly pale, her lips tinged with purple, and she shook uncontrollablyâŠ
Even Auntie Niu, an outsider, felt her heart tightening at the sight, not to mention Ruanlin who was called back home.
She was so angry she nearly fainted, shooting the boys an evil glare. She didnât even bother to scold them first, but urgently brought over the hot water that was ready, took off all the newly changed clothes on Ruan Jiaojiao, and had her soak in a wooden basin.
It was already July, the peak of summer, so theoretically, even a cold bath shouldnât chill someone to this extent. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao shivering with lips turning purple, Ruanlin felt both distressed and angry.
Her mind was ringing with thoughts.
Especially seeing the peace charm on her chest soaked as well, she was so furious she didnât know what to say, she felt like dragging those boys over and giving them a harsh beating.
After cleaning her up, Ruan Jiaojiaoâs condition didnât improve at all, but thankfully, Doctor Lu arrived and immediately began his examination.
While Doctor Lu was examining her, Ruanlin glared at the several boys, who were silent as cicadas in winter, and roared, âWhat did I tell you?! What did I say?! Donât go near the water, donât go to the riverbank, do you take my words for nothing?! Do you?! Huh!â
âAuntie Ruan, donât be angry, Jiaojiaoâs symptoms are a bit odd, like she got a fright. You better come take a look, we might need to send her straight to the hospital.â After examining her, Doctor Lu touched Ruan Jiaojiaoâs hand; she had no fever, but her whole body shivered, her lips turned blue, and even he didnât understand why. In such hot weather, these symptoms really shouldnât be occurring.
Hearing this, Ruanlin regained a bit of her senses.
She picked up Ruan Jiaojiao to go to the hospital, but Ruan Jiaojiao, clinging to her neck, shook her head, âGranny, Granny, Iâm fineâŠâ It wasnât that her body was cold, but her heart was chilled!
Thinking about what the original owner might have done made her shudder with fear.
