Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 310: Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road (15)

When he should have taken a step with his right foot, he kicked twice on the spot and took a step with his left foot.

The moss on the soles of her shoes rubbed against the smooth stones underneath, and Old Mrs. Dong's body couldn't help but lean backwards. If Jiang Qiuchen could come forward and pull her up at this time, perhaps she would be fine.

But how could Jiang Qiuchen possibly help? Not only did she not step forward, she also quickly retreated two steps.

However, she was careful. Although she stepped back, her body appeared to be rushing forward. People who didn't know the situation would think that she wanted to go forward and help the person.

There was still some distance between the two, and coupled with Jiang Qiuchen's deliberate arrangement, there was no doubt that Old Mrs. Dong fell down.

This place was not flat ground, but a corner that turned downward. When Old Mrs. Dong stepped on it, she slipped and stepped on empty air, and fell to the bottom.

During this time, he tried to grab something to steady his body, but failed in the end.

With a scream, Old Mrs. Dong quickly fell to one side, and a dull sound was heard the moment her body touched the ground.

That’s not all. After landing, she continued to roll forward for several meters. Her old waist was hit several times by the protruding stones on the road before she barely stopped, screaming in pain.

"Ouch! My waist! My waist!"

Old Mrs. Dong lay on the ground with her body tilted to one side. She wanted to get up, but she couldn't move for a long time.

Jiang Qiuchen quickly put down what he was holding and hurried forward, looking like he wanted to help her but was afraid of worsening her injuries.

In fact, he was laughing wildly in his heart, and the smile in his eyes almost overflowed, but when Old Mrs. Dong saw it, he quickly covered it up.

"You! Arya, you damned girl, did you do this on purpose?!"

"Just because I asked you to fetch two buckets of water, you hold a grudge against me and harm an old woman like me!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qiuchen's face was filled with fear and he quickly waved his hands and said.

"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? I did see a small snake crawling through the bushes. It was so fast that I was so nervous that I shouted to warn you."

"The snake must have heard the noise around it and ran away. If you were really bitten by a snake, it would be even worse if the snake was poisonous!"

"I had something on my shoulders, so I couldn't free my hands to help you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have fallen."

"But if you say I did it on purpose, that's definitely not the case."

To be honest, what Old Mrs. Dong hated most was Jiang Qiuchen's innocent expression, as if nothing was her fault.

But I was indeed frightened just now, and my foot slipped, so I fell to the bottom.

If you say that it was Jiang Qiuchen who pushed it, that's indeed not the case, but Old Mrs. Dong thinks that she is to blame!

"You look silly, who knows what you are thinking."

"Wait till I get up, I'll beat you till the skin is peeling off!"

Just as the two were arguing, the middle-aged man who had been working on the other side put down his hoe and walked over.

"Mrs. Dong, are you okay? You must have suffered a lot after falling from such a high place at your age."

"Why don't you be more careful and look at the road you're walking on."

Old Mrs. Dong had managed to straighten herself up with great difficulty, but when she heard this, she became furious again.

"Oh, you came just in time. You were here just now. Did you see it? Was it this damn girl who pushed me down?"

The middle-aged man didn't expect that he would indirectly become a witness to the current situation just by doing a job. He waved his hands helplessly.

"What? The girl was carrying a bucket of water, she was far away from you, how could she push you?" "Don't worry about it now, just help her back quickly and ask Lao Zhou to rub some medicated wine on you, otherwise it will be bad if you get sick."

When the middle-aged man saw Jiang Qiuchen, who was alone, thin and small, and looked like he had no strength to carry Old Mrs. Dong, he stepped forward to lend a hand.

Old Mrs. Dong cursed and swore while having to rely on the strength of the two men to move home with great effort.

After returning home, he asked the village barefoot doctor to take a look. The doctor said that he had sprained his waist and needed to apply some medicated wine and rest in bed for a while.

During this period, Jiang Qiuchen also hinted at something, wanting to take the opportunity to try and ask if he could go outside to see a doctor.

But he was rejected outright, saying that the illness was not serious and that resting for half a month would be enough.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiuchen didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that others would discover his thoughts, so he had to give up in disappointment.

However, it must be said that during the time that Old Mrs. Dong was bedridden, Jiang Qiuchen had a lot of free time.

The most obvious part is the food. In the past, the spatula was in the hands of Grandma Dong, and the few eggs in the house were all hidden tightly.

Since she had been bedridden, Jiang Qiuchen had only eaten two eggs a day. If the quantity was not really limited and she did not dare to move too much, she would have eaten a few more.

With a regular source of protein, Jiang Qiuchen's sunken cheeks finally became rounder.

Of course, while eating more, she also has to take on more work.

Because she sprained her waist, Old Mrs. Dong simply stayed in bed and spent every day talking and ordering Jiang Qiuchen to do things.

"Erya, pour me some hot water!"

"Erya, have you washed the dirty clothes?"

"Erya, go cook!"

"Arya, Arya, Arya..."

After calling her that so many times, Jiang Qiuchen was a little annoyed with the name Erya.

If the fall had been more serious, apart from a sprained waist, Mrs. Dong would not have been unable to exercise.

Staying at home, there are endless chores to deal with, but when I go to work in the fields, it becomes a rare moment of free time.

Jiang Qiuchen can take advantage of the breaks to look at the sky and then at the ground.

Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye. During these days, Jiang Qiuchen took care of the family while gradually expanding the scope of his activities.

With the yard as the center, move outwards.

At first she didn't dare to be too obvious. After all, Mrs. Dong just had difficulty getting out of bed, not that she really couldn't walk.

She made too much noise, and when Mrs. Dong recovered, they came to trouble her everywhere.

Jiang Qiuchen was like an NPC, appearing at various work sites on time, not talking much, just concentrating on his work.

Occasionally, when she met someone who tried to talk to her, she would answer them honestly. She didn't look like a wife bought from outside, but rather like a native of the village.

The villagers' impression of her gradually became unified. Several people who came to visit Old Mrs. Dong praised Jiang Qiuchen repeatedly, saying that she was the most sensible and worry-free foreign daughter-in-law in the village.

At first, Mrs. Dong was just recuperating from her injuries, but after a period of leisurely life with everything provided for her, she lost the energy to work in the fields again.

In addition, everyone was praising Jiang Qiuchen for being sensible, so she gradually relaxed and began to enjoy the days of being a hands-off boss.
