However, hearing Luo Xichu’s rapid breathing, Bai Jinyao felt something was wrong. She sat up and reached out to touch his forehead.

It was burning hot.

Obviously, the temperature that had dropped a little during the day rose again.

She had no choice but to get up and grope for warm water to wipe his body. Then, she boiled some medicine soup and pinched Luo Xichu’s chin before pouring it into his mouth.

Finishing, she dizzily lay down on the inner side of the bed and was ready to rest with her clothes on.

In a daze, she was still thinking it would be great if Luo Xichu’s fever had subsided by the time she returned from selling pork tomorrow.

Then she could send him away.

However, she had a dream in her sleep.

She dreamed that the following day, Luo Xichu’s fever not only did not go down, but it was even more severe!

He had even been turned into a fool by the high fever and chased after her all day, asking for a hug and mother.

“No!”

This dream was too scary for her. She screamed, opened her eyes, and realized it was already dawn.

She was stunned for a few seconds. Recalling the scene in her dream, she was so frightened that she quickly turned her head and looked at Luo Xichu, who was lying beside her.

His breathing calmed down, and his face didn’t look too red.

She touched his forehead and found that his fever had subsided a little.

Only then did she heave a sigh of relief and wipe the sweat off her forehead.

Fortunately, the fever didn’t burn him into a fool!

She quietly got out of bed, washed up, and boiled the medicine soup. Then she left home with a small cart.

Finishing, she pulled the slaughtered pig onto the small cart before heading to the market.

The original owner used to sell at a stall and had to pay the stall fee every day, but the stall was not fixed. It was all about snatching and occupying a vacancy.

And she had a fiery personality, a loud voice, and was quite good at scolding people.

Moreover, she was quite big. Just by standing there, she would not be pushed away easily by those who were thinner.

That was why no one dared to snatch her stall.

However, when the original owner had just started selling pork, her stall had also been robbed, but at that time, she was so angry that she didn’t sell pork anymore. She just scolded the person who had robbed her stall for the whole morning!

She stopped only after the other one had sold out all his things and left.

From then on, no one dared to occupy the stall of the original owner.

Even the few stalls around the original owner’s stall were rarely occupied.

Unless all the stalls in other places were occupied, no one would come to the stalls around her.

And no one was willing to talk to her.

Therefore, since the original owner picked up Luo Xichu from the mountain a few days ago and got married hastily until now.

Even if Bai Jinyao didn’t set up her stall, her stall was always vacant, and no one dared to occupy it.

She looked around and saw that all the stalls were occupied. Only her stall was vacant.

Moreover, when everyone saw her, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Bai Jinyao was speechless.

She coughed and raised her voice. “Long time no see, everyone. I got married a few days ago, and the preparations were hasty. So I didn’t invite everyone to the wedding feast. I’ve brought some wedding candies for everyone to share the happiness.”

As she spoke, she took out a small bundle under her arms and took out the wedding candies to distribute to the people who looked familiar to her at the stalls around.

The people who received the wedding candies were a little dumbfounded.

Each one of them had a look of disbelief on their faces.

Some people thought they were dreaming and pinched themselves until they grimaced in pain.

Some people looked up at the sky to see if the sun had risen from the west today.
