Old Wu couldn't go any further, so he took out his silver needles and pricked Jiang Chen twice, and the fever in Jiang Chen's body gradually subsided.

The village chief's face grew increasingly grim as he thought of Jiang Yue'er's insistence on marrying Jiang Chen.

Even though I know Jiang Chen might have fallen into someone's trap, it doesn't stop it from being embarrassing to talk about it!

"Take him to my house first. I don't know who was so heartless as to give him a bit too much medicine. I need to go back and get him some more!"

The two young men who came with him helped tidy up the clothes and then carried the person out.

When Guo Caixia saw Jiang Chen come out, she couldn't find Wen Li. She quickly craned her neck to look inside, only to find that there was nothing there.

She went inside and searched around, only to find that there was really no one there.

How is that possible?

What about Wen Li?

It was only a few minutes, and the grass in this area wasn't tall. Plus, the terrain was flat and wide, so it was impossible for an adult to hide nearby.

She left the house and walked around it again, but still couldn't find Wen Li.

Did she really escape?

Guo Caixia's fingers clenched tightly into her palms. She never expected that she could escape like this. She was lucky!

Next time, she will not give her any chance to escape!

"Caixia, what are you doing there? Come down the mountain!"

Guo Caixia composed herself, her contorted expression vanishing, and sweetly replied, "Okay, coming right away!"

Listening to the commotion outside, Wen Li knew that everyone had left, so she didn't rush out and simply started practicing in her space.

Once she got serious, she completely lost track of what was happening outside.

I don't know why Guo Caixia turned back after walking for a while.

Guo Caixia had already gone down the mountain with everyone, but the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. So she told everyone and turned back.

She searched the entire dilapidated house but still couldn't find anyone. She then circled the neighborhood again but still didn't see any suspicious footprints.

In the end, they assumed that Da Niu had given herself away, making Wen Li realize something, and that she hadn't come here at all.

Wen Li waited until everyone had finished work in the afternoon before leaving the space and going down the mountain.

She was unaware that Jiang Chen's story had already spread throughout the village.

Because the incident was so egregious, the village chief and the brigade leader went to the cowshed to find Old Man Li and discovered that the medicine for inducing estrus in sows was indeed running low.

Then they began investigating who had recently come to the cowshed to steal the medicine.

After being identified by Old Hou and the others, the focus finally shifted to Zhang Mazi, Jiang Lao Er, and He Lin.

The captain immediately summoned the men, but they all had legitimate reasons and denied ever doing it.

Unable to get any information from him, they could only ask Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's face was as dark as ink, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

The captain told Jiang Chen what he had found out and wanted to ask Jiang Chen if he knew what had happened.

Jiang Chen said nothing, indicating that he had lost consciousness at the time, had no idea what had happened, and had no one to suspect.

Jiang Chen's lack of cooperation caused the brigade leader and village chief to have long, drawn faces.

The matter was eventually dropped.

After listening to Chen Yan's story, a hint of anticipation flashed in Wen Li's eyes.

Is this really going to be left unresolved?

Jiang Chen probably already guessed who was behind this, and he wasn't telling the captain and the others because he wanted to take revenge himself.

After all, even if the captain finds the culprit, at most he will deduct some work points or punish that person by making them carry manure for a few days. It's nothing serious, so how can that satisfy his anger?

Obviously, Guo Caixia couldn't have accomplished this alone, and it would have been extremely difficult for Guo Caixia and Zhang Mazi to drug Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen ate and drank with everyone in the front yard, so the only place where he could tamper with things was the kettle.

Guo Caixia and the others hadn't been to the educated youth compound today, so the person who drugged them must have been someone from the educated youth compound.

Wen Li was very curious to know who this accomplice was.

Whoever that person is, if they dare to scheme against Wen Li, they should be prepared to be retaliated against.

Wen Li reminded Chen Yan again not to go to the back mountain alone, and then she told her about Guo Caixia's scheme that day.

Chen Yan never expected that she would get involved in this matter.

"Did you see anything you shouldn't have?"

Wen Li still felt a little scared. Thinking back to the conversation between Aunt Mei and the others, she knew how cringeworthy the scene must have been without even seeing it.

Luckily she arrived early!

"No, when I arrived, the effects of the drugs had only just begun to kick in!"

"That's good. Luckily you were quick-witted, otherwise..."

Chen Yan couldn't even imagine that if Wen Li hadn't been on guard and had gone in, Wen Li would have been the one whose reputation would have been completely ruined today.

Jiang Chen was carried back by Pan Yong and Jiang Laosi. The main reason was that the person who poisoned him was too ruthless, using enough medicine for several sows.

Fortunately, Old Man Wu arrived in time; otherwise, with that dosage, Jiang Chen would probably have ruined the whole thing.

However, the medicine was too potent, and Jiang Chen would still be weak for a few days.

Looking at Jiang Chen's pale lips and bluish-black face, Wen Li held back her laughter. It seemed that Guo Caixia's goal was not only to ruin Wen Li, but also to ruin Jiang Chen's sexual ability!

That's really ruthless!

After this incident, the brigade leader took the medicine used for breeding the sows to the brigade office and locked it up.

The medicine was originally intended for sows and was usually kept on the crossbeam above the pigpen for easy access, but now it's been locked up.

Although no one has said it outright, the aunties are all talking about Jiang Chen in private.

The topic was so suggestive that Wen Li was embarrassed to listen.

Li Xiangxiang, a gossip enthusiast, used to always go over and eavesdrop whenever she saw the aunties getting together, but lately she's been too embarrassed to join in.

Jiang Chen became the center of attention for a time.

Jiang Yue'er would bring food to Jiang Chen every day to help him recover; sometimes it was chicken soup, and sometimes it was fish soup.

This caused Qi Yang and Xiao Liang to be jealous of each other all day long.

The former residence for educated youth also became a chaotic and unpleasant place.

Jiang Yue'er tirelessly maneuvered among several men, claiming to consider Qi Yang and the others as close friends, yet she did not reject their advances.

Wen Li found Jiang Chen's attitude strange. Logically speaking, Jiang Chen loved the female lead to death and even went crazy from jealousy over those men.

He and Jiang Yue'er had many misunderstandings in the middle, and their relationship deepened amidst jealousy, arguments, and misunderstandings.

But what Wenli saw seemed completely different.

Jiang Chen was not jealous at all; on the contrary, he was very supportive of Jiang Yue'er becoming friends with them.

Wen Li felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out. It didn't make sense that Jiang Chen didn't genuinely like Jiang Yue'er, since their relationship was quite sweet at the beginning!

But if you truly like someone, would you just stand by and watch the woman you like be ambiguous with other men?

Could it be that Jiang Chen has discovered that the current Jiang Yue'er is not the same Jiang Yue'er as before?
