Chapter 303

Not long after, she was hot again!

Jia Jia Dongxu got off work.

Just as he entered the house, he saw Jia Jia Zhangshi drinking cold water.

He didn't pay attention; wasn't it normal to drink cold water?

Soon he couldn't help but pay attention.

Jia Jia Zhangshi drank another bowl of cold water, then a second bowl, then a third bowl—bowl after bowl—making him see that something was wrong.

"Mom, why do you keep drinking cold water?"

Jia Jia Dongxu asked.

"I'm hot, so I'm drinking some cold water."

"Uh, no, I can't drink anymore."

Jia Jia Zhangshi touched her stomach.

It wasn't quite at the ten-month pregnancy stage.

But eight or nine months were there.

"Mom, your face is red; are you sick?"

Jia Jia Dongxu discovered the abnormality.

"I'm fine, I'm just feeling a bit hot."

Jia Jia Zhangshi shook her head.

"Then you must have a fever; it's quite severe."

"I'll go call the First Elder and have him take a look!"

Jia Jia Dongxu went to find Yi Zhonghai.

The two of them came back together.

Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Zhonghai, I just saw Jia Jia Zhangshi..."

The First Aunt wanted to talk about Jia Jia Zhangshi stealing chives.

Before she could say it, Jia Jia Dongxu arrived, looking very anxious.

"First Elder, something happened to my mom; she has a very high fever, keeps drinking cold water, and her stomach is bulging—it's bigger than a pregnant woman's stomach."

Jia Jia Dongxu was truly worried.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you to take a look."

The two of them arrived at the Jia house.

Just as they entered, Yi Zhonghai backed out again.

Jia Jia Zhangshi was too hot and started taking off her clothes; when Yi Zhonghai went in, Jia Jia Zhangshi was bare-shouldered, and the fat on her body was trembling.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Why don't you put your clothes on properly?"

Jia Jia Dongxu frowned.

"I'm hot!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi shook her head.

"Mom, I know you're hot, but you must be sick. I'll take you to the hospital with the First Elder. Let's go, let's go to the hospital now."

Jia Jia Dongxu urged Jia Jia Zhangshi to put on her clothes properly.

The three of them went out together.

Just as they reached the door, they met He Great Qing.

He had just gone out to use the restroom, and on his way back, he met an acquaintance and talked for a few minutes, otherwise he would have been back long ago......

"Eh, Jia Jia Zhangshi, why is your face so red?"

He Great Qing was very surprised.

Hmph!

Jia Jia Zhangshi didn't pay attention to He Great Qing.

He Great Qing returned home and was dumbfounded; where were the chives he had placed on the table?

He couldn't find them!

"Who stole my chives?"

"I don't want the chives anymore, but I must say something: the chives I bought are the famous Jade Chives, and they aren't for just anyone to eat."

"If you have a wife and your wife is at home, feel free to eat them."

"If you're a single young man, or your wife isn't at home, you'd better not eat them; if you get into trouble after eating them, it's your own fault!"

He Great Qing shouted around the courtyard.

"Old He, what are you shouting about?"

Liu Liu Haizhong was startled.

"My chives were stolen; you know about Jade Chives, right?"

He Great Qing was very annoyed.

"I know; I even made a special trip to the little tavern to eat them once."

"Let me tell you quietly, Jade Chives are especially, especially effective; I persisted for a whole night and wasn't tired when I got up, it's just that the price is a bit expensive!"

Liu Liu Haizhong lowered his voice so only the two of them could hear.

"Old Liu, you're capable!"

He Great Qing's eyes lit up.

In a while, he would go find Wan Ping'an to buy another catty.

"Of course I'm capable."

"Eh, no, no, Old He, you don't have a wife; why do you want to buy Jade Chives?"

Liu Liu Haizhong realized.

"That's none of your business."

He Great Qing went to find Wan Ping'an again.

When he came out, he was carrying a small bundle of chives in his hand.

Hospital.

The doctor examined Jia Jia Zhangshi.

"Does your head hurt?"

The doctor asked.

"No!"

"Are you dizzy?"

"No!"

"Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, I just feel very hot, getting hotter and hotter."

The doctor asked a round of questions and was confused himself.

Jia Jia Zhangshi was just hot and didn't have any discomfort; it didn't look much like she was sick, but if she wasn't sick, why was she feverish all over like she had a fever?

"Before you got the fever, was there anything special?"

"Were you frightened, exposed to cold water, or did you eat anything special?"

"Try to recall carefully!"

The doctor prompted.

"I remember now, I..."

Jia Jia Zhangshi remembered eating the chives.

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.

If she said it, wouldn't she be admitting that she stole the chives?

"You'd better not hide anything."

"Your symptoms are very strange; if you delay treatment because of your concealment, it could very well cause serious consequences; you must consider it carefully."

The doctor warned Jia Jia Zhangshi.
