Chapter 508: The Melon-Eating Survival System (7)

Xie Yang is truly drunk.

She thought she would at most catch two human traffickers and save one adult and two children.

She didn't expect to have poked a hornet's nest of traffickers...

Fortunately, she took a Physical Fitness Potion before leaving; let alone one against twenty, it wouldn't be impossible to escape unscathed even against two hundred.

It's just that... well, the commotion was a bit loud, disturbing the nearby residents, and then, well, she was commended.

To single-handedly destroy a large human trafficking den, how formidable must her strength be!

The Public Security Bureau comrades who rushed to the scene looked at her with burning eyes. There were even leaders who took a fancy to her skills and wanted to specially recruit her into the Public Security Bureau.

Upon learning she was from Beijing and only here to visit relatives, they regretfully gave up on lobbying her.

But the reward that should be given still had to be given; besides a 200-yuan bonus, they also promised her a position.

If she went herself, it would of course be a Formal Worker position.

If her family member went, it would be a Temporary Worker position, and in the Logistics Office.

Xie Yang never declines rewards given by the authorities.

Just like in the previous plane, she went to collect every bounty she claimed.

But she generally turns down thank-you gifts sent by the rescued parties.

"You can refuse the thank-you gifts from those children, but you must accept mine!"

Qiu Yingying sent a tractor full of gifts and even gave the Tape Recorder she had waited a long time for to Xie Yang.

When Xie Yang wouldn't accept, she said with teary eyes: "Benefactor, please accept it! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to go home! I most likely would have been sold into the mountain ravines to be a birth tool for some vicious people, sob... Benefactor, if you don't accept it, is it because you think the gift my family gave is too shabby? Or do you think my life isn't worth these things?"

Xie Yang: "..."

What else could she say?

At the time of parting, she took the opportunity while hugging Qiu Yingying to say goodbye to tuck a small Ginseng into her pants pocket to help her calm her nerves.

Just like that, without spending a single cent, she had a tractor full of gifts.

Seeing that she couldn't carry so many things, Qiu's father specifically instructed the Commune's delivery tractor to make sure to take her to Hongken Farm.

"Uncle Chen, whose guest is this? Why did they bring you so many good things!"

The people gathered at the Chen Family to watch the excitement hadn't dispersed yet, and now they crowded around again.

The Chen Family members themselves were still confused.

The tractor driver was in a hurry to return the vehicle, so he helped unload the things and left.

A cart full of things was unloaded into the Chen Family courtyard, piled high on the ground.

"Yo! So many barrels of Peanut Oil? This thing requires coupons and is hard to buy."

"And Pork! This must be half a carcass, right?"

"There are even over a dozen bolts of Fabric!"

"And Tobacco and Alcohol, Canned Food, and Malt Extract! These are all high-end goods!"

"Hey, what is this big brick-like thing? A radio?"

"This is called a Tape Recorder! I heard it just hit the market; it can play the radio and also play Magnetic Tape. I just don't know what the tape looks like..."

"Luckily the Wang Family left, otherwise these things would likely have ended up in their mouths."

"Pah! These were brought by the Chen Family's guest; how could the Wang Family have the nerve to take them? Even if they want things after a divorce, they shouldn't be so shameless."

"This guest sounds like she has a Beijing accent; could she be Xiao Xie's family? She looks like she's in good condition; she should be able to help the Chen Family pay off their debts, right? After all, the debt was incurred to treat Xiao Xie's child's illness."

"Yo, if she can really help the Chen Family pay off their debts, then the Wang Family divorced too early."

"What divorced too early, I think they divorced just right; it's better to divorce such snobbish in-laws early."

Hearing these discussions, Xie Yang raised her eyebrows and looked at Old Man Chen: "Grandpa, has my younger brother's illness caused difficulties for the family?"

Only then did the Chen Family realize that a relative from the son-in-law's side had come to pick up the little grandson to go to Beijing for medical treatment.

"No difficulty, no difficulty. These hardships are only temporary; as long as Xiao Shitou's health can improve, that's better than anything."

Not only did Old Man Chen say this, but Aunt Chen and Chen Yongqiang and the others all looked in agreement.

Compared to money, the life and health of family members are definitely more important.

Xie Yang looked at Chen Yongkang: "But it still burdened Third Uncle Chen."

Chen Yongkang shook his head with a bitter smile: "Without Xiao Shitou, my marriage with her wouldn't have lasted long either; it was me who took things for granted before."

Xie Yang thought for a moment and said: "Third Uncle Chen, the county Public Security Bureau gave me a Temporary Worker position in the Logistics Office; I wonder if you are interested?"

"!!!"

Old Man Chen's little grandson was going to be picked up by his relative's niece to go to Beijing for treatment!

The relative's niece sent a tractor full of gifts to the Chen Family!!

Third Uncle Chen was handed an iron rice bowl and started eating the state's food!!!

One piece of explosive news after another spread throughout the Nongchang.

Quite a few people ran to Wang Fang's house to gloat:

"Mother of Wang Fang, you really threw away a Watermelon to pick up sesame seeds!"

"Mother of Wang Fang, do you regret it? If you hadn't let Wang Fang divorce, the Chen Family's many good things would definitely have had a share for you."

"I heard there was more than half a carcass of Pork alone!"

"I also heard there was a Tape Recorder. There weren't many that arrived in Dongjiang County in total; I didn't expect one to be at your former son-in-law's house."

"Your former son-in-law has a job in the city, and the little sickly child is also going to be picked up to Beijing; if your Wang Fang hadn't divorced, how enviable her future days would be!"

"Ah ah ah!"

Before Wang Fang's mother could say anything, Wang Fang started to have a hysterical breakdown first:

"I'm not getting a divorce! I'm not getting a divorce!"

But the Chen Family are also people of backbone; when you Wang Family left no room for maneuver during the divorce, don't come knocking now to beg for remarriage.

Divorced means divorced.

Water spilled before the horse, water poured out cannot be gathered back.

……

Xie Yang held her little cousin and examined him carefully.

A seven-month premature baby, five months after birth, he was still as weak as a newborn red-skinned monkey.

Mother Chen couldn't help but wipe away her tears: "This child has a bitter fate; he lost his parents the moment he was born, and he brought illness with him from the womb... but no matter what, it is a life. As his grandparents, we truly cannot bear to watch him just... if it weren't for the fact that our family really couldn't think of a better way, we wouldn't have sent a letter to your family..."

Xie Yang nodded, indicating she understood.

Seeing that her little cousin was still frowning in his sleep as if very uncomfortable, she quietly took his pulse.

In the previous plane, she had spent twenty years learning pharmacology in Shenyi Valley; although she couldn't diagnose illnesses at a glance or cure them with a single medicine like the old Valley Master, she could still take a common pulse.

This child simply had weak congenital heart and lung function, compounded by his premature birth and the limited feeding conditions after birth, making his heart and lung function even worse; he suffered from breathing difficulties and abnormal ventilation at the slightest movement.

The medicine prescribed by the county hospital only helped clear his breathing and could indeed only provide relief.

Once the cause was diagnosed, it was easy to handle.

She had the Main System credit her a Cub Nutrient Solution from a Level 6 Civilization.

In the past, the Main System would definitely have haggled to secure more benefits for itself, but this time it felt somewhat guilty; hearing the Host wanted to credit a Cub Nutrient Solution, it not only gave it readily but didn't even mention interest.

Xie Yang had drunk this nutrient solution produced by a Level 6 Civilization herself in the previous plane, and its effect on conditioning a small body was quite good.

However, a five-month-old little baby couldn't drink a whole vial at once.

She dripped a few drops into a water cup, diluted it, poured it into a baby bottle, and held it to his mouth.

Seeing him unconsciously latch onto the nipple and suck, his little brows gradually smoothed out, his breathing rate slowed down, and finally, he subconsciously spat out the nipple, sleeping much more soundly than before.
