Everyone was relieved after Zheng Lunlun's condition stabilized.
The team that was previously sent out had also made their way back with the members of Zheng Lunlun's rescue
team.
The cabin became livelier, but another problem presented itself. With more people showing up, more food was
needed to keep everyone fed, and if their rescuer couldn't find them in time, they would starve.
If the food ran out, they would have to, once again, fight for their survival.
When evening rolled by, the rescue team started to go into the river to wash up and to fish.
Erbao liked crowds and wanted to watch them fish, but Ning Ran forbade her so Erbao crawled into the mosquito
net and started pouting.
Ning Ran wasn't bothered by it, but Nan Chen couldn't bear it so he took Erbao out of the mosquito net and let her
piggyback on him so they can go watch the others catch fish together.
Ning Ran couldn't stand that. He's going to spoil my kid!
“What are you doing?” demanded Ning Ran who rushed over and blocked Nan Chen's path.
“Letting her play outside,” said Nan Chen calmly.
“There are a bunch of old men showering naked. A girl like her shouldn't hang out with them,” said Ning Ran who
was getting angrier, “You have got to stop spoiling her like that. What are you going to do if she asks for a star in
the sky? Are you going to rip it from the sky bring it over for her too?”
“They have their clothes on,” explained Nan Chen.
“Still no. Kids get spoiled too easily...”
“I don't want the stars in the sky,” interrupted Erbao from Nan Chen's back.
“You keep quiet,” snapped Ning Ran.
“And if she does ask for a star from the sky, I will get it for her,” said Nan Chen.
Ning Ran was so angry that she felt like she could pass out. What kind of man is this? How could he set zero
boundaries for the kids?
“That is my daughter,” claimed Ning Ran, “And you are not allowed to spoil her like that.”
“The kid is not your private property,” said Nan Chen who refused to back down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“She isn't your private property either. You have no right to spoil my kid like that!”
“Third Uncle isn't spoiling me,” said Erbao who wanted to help Nan Chen, “He's just caring for me.”
Ning Ran was so angry that she couldn't handle it anymore, and yelled at Erbao, “Fine, then you can follow him
anywhere. I don't want you anymore.”
Erbao was frightened then. Her tiny lips curved downwards, and her eyes began to water.
“Don't be mad, Mommy,” said Erbao, “I won't go.”
“You've scared the child!” said Nan Chen whose glare became colder as anger filled his face.
“Butt out! I am teaching my daughter a lesson,” shouted Ning Ran at Nan Chen, “It's all your fault, you infuriating
man!”
Nan Chen set Erbao down and said sweetly, “Don't worry, Erbao. Third Uncle is here for you.”
Ning Ran was even angrier after hearing that. Damn it! How am I supposed to teach my kid with you downplaying
my words like that?
“Erbao, come over here,” said Ning Ran in a slightly louder voice.
Erbao stared at Nan Chen nervously then at Ning Ran before deciding to go to Ning Ran obediently.
“Are you going to disobey Mommy?”
Erbao shook her head quickly as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Do you think that Mommy was wrong? The people by the river are all men while you are a girl. Do you remember
Mommy telling you that boys and girls need to keep some distance? That's called a 'safe distance'. Have you
forgotten about it?”
“I haven't forgotten it,” said Erbao as she shook her head.
“Then why did you listen to a stranger instead of me?”
“I am not a stranger!” refuted Nan Chen who was frowning with dissatisfaction.
“Shut up,” ordered Ning Ran, “I am teaching my kid. Could you get your butt out of here?”
Nan Chen was on the verge of going crazy. How could that woman order him to shut up?
He was THE Sir Chen. How could she order the renowned Sir Chen to shut up?
Nan Chen's eyes were deadly as they glare at Ning Ran. If she wasn't a woman, he would have thrown her into the
river.
“I'm sorry, Mommy, I was wrong,” said Erbao weakly, “Don't be angry.”
“What was your mistake?” asked Ning Ran who was still furious.
“My mistake was that I didn't listen to Mommy.”
“Will you make that mistake again?”
“No, Mommy.” Erbao was being honest when she apologized.
She was an extremely intelligent kid and had noticed that she was further straining the relationship between her
Mommy and Third Uncle so she stepped up and apologized to pacify the situation.
“Go stay inside the mosquito net,” ordered Ning Ran.
Erbao turned to Nan Chen then got back into the mosquito net.
“The way you teach your kid is disgraceful,” commented Nan Chen.
“As I said, that is none of your business.”
Nan Chen sneered before heading towards the river.
What a dishonorable woman.
Ning Ran returned to the cabin and saw that Erbao was crying while Dabao was trying to reason with her. “Mommy
was right.”
“I know Mommy was right,” said the upset Erbao, “But she was so fierce.”
“Because you were wrong,” said Dabao who stood his ground.
“Erbao, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been that harsh.”
Ning Ran walked over to hug Erbao who started to cry even more.
“Mommy, don't leave me...”
“Mommy was joking. You are Mommy's precious little kid. Mommy would never leave you.”
Erbao started to calm down after some time.
Ning Ran was tired too because she didn't sleep well at night so she laid down to take a nap.
Outside the cabin, Luo Fei heard the commotion dying down inside so she peeked in.
Everyone was washing up and catching fishes in the river so the cabin where Zheng Lunlun was in was empty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuo Fei tiptoed into the cabin where Zheng Lunlun was at.
Zheng Lunlun's face looked healthier, and his breathing was stabilized, but he was still unconscious.
Luo Fei picked up the herbal oil that was placed at the side and started applying it onto Zheng Lunlun.
She had heard Dabao saying that the oil was poisonous in nature, and could only be used moderately or the
patient's condition would worsen. Moreover, Dabao had said that they had to at least wait until the next morning
before they apply the oil again.
It was still some time before the sun rises, and Zheng Lunlun would, no doubt, be poisoned if that medicine was
applied to him once more.
As long as he remained unconscious, her secrets would be safe, and she could keep acting innocent in front of Nan
Chen.
Luo Fei applied the medicine twice before she snuck back into her room
At that moment, Ning Ran and the kids were napping in the other cabin so they had no idea what Luo Fei had done.
Nan Chen was monitoring everyone by the river when he remembered that Zheng Lunlun was alone in the cabin so
he rushed back and saw that Zheng Lunlun's face had turned pale once more!
That was obviously a sign that his condition was worsening.
“Dabao! Dabao!” Nan Chen was calling for Dabao.
Dabao was asleep when he heard Nan Chen calling for him so he quickly got up.
“What's wrong, Third Uncle?” Dabao jogged over.
“Come quick. What is happening?”
“Why is Blondie's condition worsening?” said the surprised Dabao, “Wasn't he getting better?”
“Why is this happening?” asked Nan Chen.
“I don't know,” said Dabao as he frowned, “He was getting better...”
“What do we do now?”
“He was getting better, but now he's getting worse,” said Dabao who was on the verge of tears, “I don't know what
to do.”
“Don't worry, Dabao. This is not your fault,” said Nan Chen, “We must be calm and come up with a solution.”
“We were using the oil's poison to combat the snake's poison so we can't apply any more oil or his condition will
worsen,” said Dabao whose eyes were wet when he saw Zheng Lunlun's condition, “But if we don't reduce the toxin
now, Blondie won't survive!”
