Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

After dinner, Xu Changping leisurely brewed a pot of fragrant health tea and placed it on the coffee table.

The three of them sat on the sofa, watching Xiao Mi chattering like a happy little bird about the sight of a Gerschalker flying in the sky that she had seen today.

Xu Changping listened to Xiao Mi's story with a smile on his face, and occasionally interjected a few words to guide Xiao Mi to talk more.

Yang Xiaoyue sat quietly aside, her beautiful eyes revealing a doting look from time to time as she looked at the excited Xiao Mi gently.

Everything was peaceful and quiet inside the house, but there was a loud noise outside, breaking the atmosphere.

After a while, the noise outside had not stopped. Xu Changping frowned slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and prepared to go out to take a look.

When he pushed open the door, the scene before him stunned him.

Qin Huairu was seen holding a baby tightly in her arms, with an anxious look on her face, struggling to walk into the yard.

Jia Zhang stood aside without giving in, stretched out her hands to stop them, and continued to insult Qin Huairu loudly.

As the two were pulling, the baby in the cradle seemed frightened and let out a faint cry.

Before Xu Changping opened his mouth to ask what was going on, he heard Jia Zhang's angry shouting:

"Come home with me quickly. Why are you running outside for no reason? Don't you know your own weight after working?" While scolding, Jia Zhang pushed Qin Huairu out hard.

Seeing this scene, Xu Changping frowned, walked forward quickly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, what are you doing?"

When Jia Zhang saw Xu Changping, she didn't lower her voice at all, but shouted even louder: "What we do has nothing to do with you!"

Xu Changping ignored the shrew Jia Zhang and turned his gaze to Qin Huairu, saying impatiently, "Qin Huairu, tell me what's going on."

Qin Huairu glanced at Xu Changping with resentment in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "The child has a high fever, I want you to help take a look."

Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Xu Changping suddenly felt annoyed, but because of the child, he still said:

"Mrs. Jia Zhang, I don't care what happened between you and Qin Huairu. The child is still the offspring of your Jia family. If you don't want me to see it, take it to a nearby hospital."

Jia Zhang stopped yelling at Qin Huairu and glared at Xu Changping, saying bluntly, "Qin Huairu is still a worker at your steel mill. You want to push him away when he comes to see you for treatment?"

"If you want to see a doctor, bring the child in. If you don't want to see a doctor, leave immediately." Xu Changping felt very unhappy when he saw Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, and his tone of voice was harsh.

If he hadn't caught a glimpse of the little face under the quilt that was red from a high fever, Xu Changping really wanted to drive away Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

But when he vaguely saw the little red face under the quilt, he softened his heart.

Qin Huairu, who was still struggling, heard Xu Changping's words and hurriedly used all his strength to break free from Jia Zhang's hand that was tightly holding his arm.

He trotted up to Xu Changping and said repeatedly, "Let's see, let's see." His tone was full of anxiety and earnestness.

Xu Changping brought Qin Huairu into the house. Yang Xiaoyue had already tidied the sofa for Qin Huairu to sit down.

Seeing this sudden situation, Xiao Mi stood behind Yang Xiaoyue and looked at the baby in Qin Huairu's arms with some curiosity.

Xu Changping motioned for Qin Huairu to sit down, and then said softly, "Let me see the child."

Qin Huairu carefully handed the swaddled baby to Xu Changping.

After taking the child, Xu Changping opened the swaddling clothes and examined him carefully. He found that the child was indeed having a high fever and his breathing was a little rapid.

"The child needs to be cooled down immediately." After saying this, Xu Changping put the child on the sofa and turned into the kitchen.

After a while, Xu Changping came out with a basin of steaming warm water.

He walked to the sofa, put the basin down steadily, picked up a clean towel beside the basin and said:

"I need to wipe her with warm water first to lower her temperature quickly. Once the temperature is a little lower, I will check what caused the child's fever."

Qin Huairu quickly responded: "Okay...Okay."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the towel in Xu Changping's other hand. A hint of hesitation appeared on her face, and she whispered:

"How about...let me wipe the child's body?"

"You can do it yourself. You need to wipe the groin, armpits, chest, back, palms and soles of feet repeatedly."

Xu Changping thought for a moment, then handed the soft towel in his hand to Qin Huairu, and at the same time reminded her carefully again what to do specifically.

After Qin Huairu took the towel, she began to wipe the child's body carefully and gently as Xu Changping had said.

After observing for a while, Xu Changping found that she was doing a good job, so he turned around with confidence, left the main room and walked towards the study.

Not long after, Xu Changping came out of the study holding a small oil-paper bag.

"This is a pill to reduce fever. One pill at a time. Feed it to her."

Qin Huairu responded quickly, then opened the oil paper bag, gently took out a pill from it, and put it into the child's slightly opened mouth.

After doing all this, Qin Huairu did not stop what she was doing, but continued to use the towel to dip in warm water and wipe the child carefully from head to toe again.

After watching Qin Huairu finish all this, Xu Changping slowly said, "Let the child rest for a while and wait for the medicine to take effect." Qin Huairu nodded nervously, looking at the child with worry in his eyes.

At this moment, Jia Zhang, who had been silently observing the situation in the house from the doorway, finally couldn't help but speak: "Is the fever gone? If it is gone, hurry home. How can you, a young wife, keep your reputation by staying in a man's house all the time?"

Jia Zhang is now extremely worried about Qin Huairu. She wants Qin Huairu to go to work and earn money to support the family, but she is even more afraid that Qin Huairu will be seduced by someone else and leave the whole family behind.

"Mom, it will take a while. The doctor needs to check what's wrong with the child and cause the fever." Qin Huairu stood up immediately and replied after hearing Jia Zhang's voice.

During this period of time, she has truly experienced the methods used by Jia Zhang. Not only is she exhausted from work every day, but she also has to continue working after getting home.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Jia Dongxu is not as irritable as other sick men, otherwise she would not be able to stay in this house for a single day.
