Chapter 7

"Comrade Gao, I'm going to town in a while. Is there anything you want to buy?"

Gao Xuejun looked at Ye Jinxiu. He didn't have anything he wanted to buy, but he wanted to write a letter to ask Ye Jinxiu to mail it for him.

After some thought, Gao Xuejun asked, "Can you mail the letter for me?"

"Sure, but can you write a letter?"

Ye Jinxiu looked at Gao Xuejun's hand. Gao Xuejun said expressionlessly, "No."

"Understood."

For the sake of the 12,000 yuan, she could write a letter for him.

Ye Jinxiu hurried out and returned with a pencil and a letter. "If you trust me, I can write it for you."

Gao Xuejun nodded. Ye Jinxiu squatted by the bed. "Let's begin."

Gao Xuejun read out a few numbers. Ye Jinxiu raised his eyebrows and didn't ask what the numbers meant.

After sealing the envelope, Ye Jinxiu leaned closer to Gao Xuejun. "Comrade Gao, you didn't lose out on the 12,000 yuan."

Gao Xuejun glanced at Ye Jinxiu and said coldly, "An ordinary family's annual expenses don't exceed 500 yuan. Don't you think it's too much to ask for 10,000 yuan?"

Ye Jinxiu nodded and smiled. "I don't think so."

"Comrade Gao, you're not an ordinary person."

If she didn't know that Gao Xuejun was rich, she wouldn't have asked for so much.

Gao Xuejun narrowed his eyes and pondered the meaning of Ye Jinxiu's words.

"Okay, I'm going out."

Ye Jinxiu put the envelope in his trouser pocket, turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Oh right, I put the urinal by the bed. If you want to pee, remember to use it. You must not wet the bed."

She saw suspicion in Gao Xuejun's eyes just now. He dared to doubt her, his savior. It was unforgivable.

She purposely raised the urinal to remind him not to wet the bed in order to annoy him.

Gao Xuejun's breathing stagnated. "I don't wet the bed!"

Ye Jinxiu smiled and replied, "Who knows?"

… …

"Is Captain Huang home?"

Ye Jinxiu's nouveau riche father had once said that a person could be greedy for money and power, but at the same time, they had to be honest. Otherwise, greed would only get them killed.

Ye Jinxiu always remembered her nouveau riche father's words. She had made an appointment with Ye Daniu to pick her up in two days, and today was the appointed date.

Captain Huang did not expect Ye Jinxiu to come back so early. He hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out quickly. "Comrade Ye, you're here. Come in and have some tea."

"It's okay, business is more important. I want to pick up Daniu and leave, but I'm not familiar with Daniu's grandpa's family. I hope that you can come with me."

"It's a small matter, let's go now."

Captain Huang straightened his clothes and walked to Ye Jinxiu's side. The two of them walked side by side towards Ye Daniu's grandpa's house.

When they reached the door, Captain Huang went forward and knocked on the door.

Yesterday, Captain Huang mentioned to Ye Daniu's grandpa that the Yeh family would be visiting today, so the Huang family left Ye Daniu's grandpa to deal with the Yeh family.

Ye Daniu's grandpa took a puff of his cigarette and blew out a cloud of smoke.

He put down his pipe and walked out slowly.

After a while, the courtyard door opened and Ye Daniu's grandpa poked his head out.

"Captain."

He looked at Ye Jinxiu and a scheming look flashed past his eyes.

"This is Daniu's cousin. She's here to pick up Daniu. Lao Huang, ask Daniu to come out."

Ye Daniu's grandpa suddenly sighed and said sadly, "Unfortunately, Daniu is sick. I'm afraid she can't leave with this comrade."

"Sick?"

Ye Jinxiu walked forward and asked. Of all the times to be sick, it was obvious that something was wrong.

"It's an emergency. She's still burning up and can't come out to get some fresh air."

Ye Jinxiu glanced at Captain Huang. Captain Huang said, "Bring us to see Daniu."

Ye Daniu's grandpa blocked the way. "This, Daniu's illness is contagious. You should wait for her to recover before coming back."

Ye Jinxiu pushed Ye Daniu's grandpa aside and walked quickly inside. She was unusually strong. Ye Daniu's grandpa staggered a few steps back and almost fell on his butt.

Ye Jinxiu didn't know which room Ye Daniu lived in, but the Huang family only had seven to eight rooms. Based on the Huang family's attitude towards Ye Daniu, she only needed to find the most rundown room to find Ye Daniu.

After a few seconds, Ye Jinxiu found a very rundown room.

She walked over quickly and pushed the door open without a word.

There was only one bed in the room. Perhaps it shouldn't be called a bed, but a haystack.

The so-called bed didn't have a bed frame or a bed frame. There were only two stools and a few handfuls of dried grass.

Ye Daniu was sleeping on the bed. She was sleeping so soundly that even Ye Jinxiu's knocking on the door didn't wake her up.

Ye Jinxiu walked over in a few steps.

Ye Daniu's condition wasn't good. Her face was bruised, and there were different degrees of injuries on her hands and feet.

Ye Jinxiu touched her forehead. Her temperature was shocking.

Ye Jinxiu realized that Ye Daniu wasn't asleep. She had fainted from the fever.

The fever wasn't subsiding. Ye Jinxiu knew that this wasn't the time to settle the score with Ye Daniu's grandfather. He quickly carried Ye Daniu on his back and ran outside.

Ye Daniu's grandfather blocked Ye Jinxiu. "Comrade Ye, Daniu is sick and can't be exposed to the wind. You can't take her away."

Ye Jinxiu couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He lifted his leg and kicked him, sending him flying a meter away.

The Huang family was a group of despicable people. Ye Jinxiu guessed that Ye Daniu's injuries and fever had something to do with the Huang family.

Ye Daniu's grandfather couldn't get up from the ground. He wailed and looked at Ye Jinxiu angrily.

Ye Jinxiu didn't even look at him. He turned around and walked away.

Captain Huang chased after him. "Comrade Ye, how can you hit someone?"

Ye Jinxiu stopped in his tracks. "Captain Huang, I didn't hit anyone, I hit an animal."

She showed Ye Daniu's face to Captain Huang. After seeing Ye Daniu's condition, Captain Huang took a deep breath. "Lao Huang is really, really …"

Ye Jinxiu didn't want to talk to Captain Huang about Lao Huang's family. He walked past Captain Huang and walked outside.

"Master Wu, are you in?"

Master Wu's medical skills were not bad. Ye Jinxiu directly carried Ye Daniu over to look for Master Wu.

Ye Jinxiu shouted a few times, but no one in the house responded to him.

Ye Daniu's fever was very bad. Ye Jinxiu was afraid that he would become a fool. Without thinking, he kicked open the door of Master Wu's house.

Ye Jinxiu placed Ye Daniu on the bed, then turned around to look for something that could lower Ye Daniu's temperature.

Master Wu's house had quite a lot of herbs and alcohol.

Ye Jinxiu took down the alcohol and a basin. When she was about to use the alcohol to lower Ye Daniu's temperature, Master Wu came back.

Master Wu saw that the door of his house was wide open. He thought that there was a thief and hurriedly ran into the house.

When he entered the house, he saw Ye Daniu and Ye Jinxiu.

"What are you doing!"

Ye Jinxiu put down the basin. "She is running a high fever, I want to use alcohol to lower her temperature."

"Nonsense!

Are you a doctor?

If you rashly lower her temperature, aren't you afraid of killing her? "

Ye Jinxiu retreated to the side. "Master Wu, her fever is very bad. Take a look at her."

Master Wu looked around the house, then looked at Ye Daniu. "You have to give me 20 yuan for the consultation fee and the repair fee."

Problems that could be solved with money were not problems. Ye Jinxiu readily took out 20 yuan and handed it to Master Wu.

After taking the money, Master Wu went forward and touched Ye Daniu's forehead. Then, he checked her pulse. "She can still be saved. She won't die."

With a look of certainty, he grabbed a handful of herbs and went back to the back to boil the medicine.

It was unknown whether it was Master Wu's medical skills or Ye Daniu's physique that was extraordinary. After drinking the medicine for less than half an hour, Ye Daniu slowly woke up and said in a hoarse voice, "Water, water."

Ye Jinxiu fed her two mouthfuls of water and reached out to touch her forehead. The fever had subsided.

"Cousin?"

"It's me."

Ye Jinxiu patted Ye Daniu's back. "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

Ye Daniu's body was weak. Knowing that Ye Jinxiu was by her side, she quickly fell asleep again.

After putting Ye Daniu down, Ye Jinxiu pulled up the blanket to cover her stomach. Then, he got up and said to Master Wu, "Master Wu, I have to go out for a while. Please take care of Daniu for a while."

After accepting Ye Jinxiu's 20 yuan, Master Wu waved his hand, indicating that he had heard him.

Ye Jinxiu first went to mail the letter. Thinking that the house was empty, she went to buy some chickens, ducks, and geese.

An hour later, she returned to the small clinic.

After waiting for two hours at the small clinic, Ye Daniu woke up.

"Cousin, why am I here?"

She thought that she was dreaming when she saw her cousin. She didn't expect it to be real.

"You have a fever. I brought you here to see a doctor."

Ye Daniu wanted to get off the bed. However, the moment she moved, she immediately hissed in pain.

Ye Jinxiu held her down. "What happened to your injuries?"

Although she guessed that Ye Daniu's injuries were most likely caused by the Huang family, she still wanted to hear what Ye Daniu had to say.

Ye Daniu fell silent. After a while, she said softly, "I accidentally fell."

Ye Jinxiu patted Ye Daniu's head and said gently, "You're too careless. Next time, you have to watch where you're going, okay?"

Ye Daniu's tears fell. She choked and said, "I know."

Since Ye Daniu didn't want her to know the truth about her being beaten, she wouldn't ask.

Ye Daniu's injuries were very serious. Coupled with her high fever, she had no strength and couldn't walk.

Ye Jinxiu carried Ye Daniu on his back and a bamboo basket in his hand. He walked leisurely towards the Yeh family village.

Ye Daniu hugged Ye Jinxiu's neck. Although Ye Jinxiu was very thin and pale, Ye Daniu felt an unprecedented sense of security when she hugged Ye Jinxiu's neck.

Her eyes couldn't help but redden. Her tears flowed down and wet Ye Jinxiu's shirt.

Ye Jinxiu patted Ye Daniu's butt and said with a smile, "Daniu, let's go home."

Go home? She has a home?

Cousin is so nice. She should have a home, right?

Ye Daniu quickly fell asleep again. Ye Jinxiu put her down on the bed, tucked her in, and walked out.

"Additional mission completed. Host needs to change Ye Daniu's name to Hong Feng within 24 hours and make her your right-hand woman."

Ye Jinxiu asked, "Is there a reward?"

"Additional mission can be completed. If you don't complete the mission, there will be no reward."

Ye Jinxiu clicked his tongue and said, "How stingy."

"Host's current mission progress is zero. Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible to repay your debt. Otherwise, you will be erased."

"Got it."

Other people's systems were either soft and cute or had thick golden fingers. But her system only knew how to collect debts!
