Chapter 395 Avoiding Suspicion and Helping

The three of them quickly returned home.

At this moment, Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Upon seeing Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou return with a little boy, the two were greatly alarmed.

"Nuan Nuan, where...where did you get this child from?"

Su Nuannuan could tell from Chen Xiuting's expression that she had misunderstood.

She smiled and shook her head, saying...

“He wasn’t brought here; we found him by the stream at the village entrance. Mingzhou and I came back today and saw him fall into the river. Can you tell whose child this is? We’ll take him back in a bit.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuting exclaimed in surprise.

"That would be terrible. I'll go boil some ginger water, and you can feed it to the child in a bit."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

Su Jianjun was also anxious when he heard that a child in the village had fallen into the river.

"Did it fall into an ice hole? Oh dear, I told you a few days ago not to let children go near the river. Whose child is this? Why don't the adults in the family listen to advice?"

Although Su Jianjun complained, the concern in his eyes was undeniable.

Su Nuannuan smiled and said.

"Alright, Dad. Stop talking and come quickly to see whose child this is."

Upon hearing this, Su Jianjun also shut his nagging mouth.

Upon closer inspection, Su Jianjun's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't that the child from the cowshed? Nuannuan, you should take him back right away!"

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou exchanged a glance.

Seeing that the two ignored him, Su Jianjun tried to pull the boy out.

The little boy was like a frightened bird, his body began to tremble.

Su Nuannuan immediately sensed something was wrong. She touched the boy's forehead; its burning heat was enough to warm her hands.

She quickly said to Su Jianjun.

"Dad, he has a fever. He shouldn't be exposed to the wind right now. Go and call his family over."

Su Jianjun frowned. He could lend a hand when working, but that didn't mean he wanted to cause trouble.

Seeing Su Jianjun like this, Su Nuannuan was speechless.

"Dad, what are you afraid of! We're saving someone, not doing anything heinous. Call someone over so they can come and take care of him."

This is a matter of life and death, and we cannot afford to be careless.

Su Nuannuan noticed this when she rescued the little boy. Although his clothes were a bit tattered, he was quite muscular and had a round face. It was clear he was pampered by his family.

Even when he was down on his luck, no one made him suffer.

I just don't know why this little guy went winter fishing all by himself and ended up getting himself stuck in an ice hole.

After Su Nuannuan reminded him, Su Jianjun also realized what was happening.

He put on his black mink hat and went outside.

Su Nuannuan winked at Chu Mingzhou beside her and said.

"Mingzhou, go to my third brother's room and get some of his old clothes that he doesn't wear anymore. I'll give this little guy some medicine first."

Chu Mingzhou nodded and turned to go to Su Sanquan's room.

Of the three older brothers in the family, Su Sanquan had the most clothes. Because he liked to make his own clothes, he had quite a lot of fabric in his room.

That's why Su Nuannuan asked Chu Mingzhou to bring over Su Sanquan's clothes.

Although Su Nuannuan had stripped the little boy of his clothes, Chu Mingzhou's cotton-padded jacket was a bit too big, and it let in some wind when worn by the little guy.

Su Nuannuan gave the little boy fever-reducing medicine and some spiritual spring water. Seeing the boy's slightly flushed cheeks, Su Nuannuan thought for a moment and then took out another box of fever-reducing medicine from her spatial storage. She removed the pills and wrapped them in paper.

Then, Su Nuannuan wrote "Fever reducer, once a day" on the outside of the paper with a pen.

After finishing all this, Chu Mingzhou also came in with the clothes.

Su Sanquan's childhood clothes had already been given away, and Chu Mingzhou searched for a long time but could only find the clothes Su Sanquan wore when he was in junior high school.

These clothes were still too big for the little boy.

However, Su Nuannuan had no other choice. Neither she nor Chu Mingzhou knew how to alter clothes, so they could only dress the little boy like this. The clothes were a bit big, so Su Nuannuan tied them up with rope to prevent drafts.

After Su Nuannuan finished doing all this, she sat for a while.

Su Jianjun then walked in with a refined-looking man.

The man's clothes were rather thin, and his appearance was not presentable due to long hours of labor. However, he did not care about such things.

He walked in looking anxious.

"Grain Buds, Grain Buds~"

His voice was filled with worry and anxiety.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan quickly handed the boy to the man and said.

“He was lucky to have met me and my husband.”

Su Nuannuan didn't finish her sentence, but everyone present could guess what she was going to say next.

The refined-looking man hugged the boy tightly, his face full of relief.

He glanced at Su Nuannuan apologetically, then focused more on the baby in his arms.

The boy had fallen asleep because he had taken fever-reducing medication.

But the man didn't know. Touching his son's burning forehead, he thought his son had already fainted from the fever.

Instantly, his face filled with anxiety.

"Xiaoman! Xiaoman! What's wrong?"

Su Nuannuan quickly said to the man.

"He's fine, don't worry. It's probably because the fever reducer I gave him earlier is working."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, the man's panicked expression finally eased.

He checked his son's body again and found that he only had a slight fever, then thanked Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou.

"Thank you so much!"

After saying that, he bowed to the two of them.

Before arriving, Su Jianjun had already told them about his son falling into an ice hole and being rescued by the two men.

This made the man both grateful and fortunate.

Knowing his identity was sensitive, the man did not linger there.

He stood up and said to Su Jianjun.

"Captain, I will remember your kindness. Xiaoman and I will head back now."

Su Jianjun felt uneasy. But he also knew clearly that this person couldn't stay at home any longer.

So he gave the man some cornbread to take back with him.

"Child, you were frightened today. Take this back and give it to the child to eat."

The Su family's living conditions improved, and they used a lot of wheat flour in their steamed buns, with only a little corn flour mixed in, making them look very soft.

Since the man came to Hongqi Village, although he has food every day, it is not as good as the cornbread that Su Jianjun gave him.

He gave Su Jianjun a grateful look, then left with the child in his arms.
