Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Midnight Rescue Request

Hearing the gossip and seeing that the person who had just left had achieved their purpose, Yunyi decided not to linger and headed straight home.

With Ma Jiuxiang’s character, she was never going to let the Qiu siblings off the hook.

As for the Qiu siblings, Yunyi had already made her move as soon as they finished giving compensation and left.

They would never have good days ahead in this lifetime; they had dared to reach their claws towards her, and she had never been a good person to begin with.

Once home, she put on waders, picked up a shovel, and walked towards the Pond they had been dredging earlier that day.

She didn’t touch what they had cleaned up that afternoon. Instead, she went directly into the water and collected quite a lot into her space. She planned to find a place on the mountain tomorrow to dry and disinfect it before adding it to the pond in her space.

After finishing her work, she washed up in the small river before preparing to go home and rest.

Just as she was getting up on the bank, she saw Qiao Yuxiang heading towards the shack down south again and thought, Doesn’t this person ever give up?

However, considering the old man had already become wary of her and wouldn’t let her succeed easily, Yunyi decided not to meddle.

She carried the shovel back to her small courtyard.

She planned to tidy up a bit tomorrow, go to the brigade headquarters to settle the remaining rent, and then have the village ox cart take her on a trip the day after tomorrow.

Once back, she locked the door and entered her space.

Inside her space, she harvested what needed harvesting, planted what needed planting, and practiced Martial Arts for an hour before soaking in the hot spring and leaving.

The weather was beginning to turn bitterly cold, so she added some firewood into the kang’s fire pit before getting on the kang bed to rest.

Just as she was dozing off, she heard someone knocking on the main door. Releasing her spiritual power to check outside, she saw the old man she had saved on the mountain earlier.

His arrival at this hour definitely meant an emergency, especially since it was now raining outside; she had to get up even if she didn’t want to.

By the time she dressed and came out, she heard Liu Chenglin from next door also emerge, though he didn’t make a sound.

Yunyi called out, ”Who is it?”

An urgent, hoarse, and elderly voice responded from outside, ”Comrade, I’m so sorry to come to you at this ungodly hour, but my grandson is sick. I beg you to help save him.”

As she opened the door, she saw the old man about to kneel, ”What are you doing? Get up.”

But the old man ignored her and knelt anyway, ”Comrade, I really had no other option. I know with my status I shouldn’t be causing you trouble, but my grandson is my life. I can’t just watch him die.”

Yunyi reached out and grabbed him firmly, pulling him up from the ground. Only then did she realize how light the old man before her was. ”Stand properly. I’ll go with you.”

Hearing Yunyi agree, the old man trembled with emotion, ”Thank you, thank you.”

As Yunyi turned, she said, ”Hold on, I’ll grab my medicine box.”

Returning to her room, she grabbed the prepared medicine box, put on a thick coat, took an umbrella, and hurried outside.

After locking the main door, she said, ”Let’s go.”

Only after they had gone some distance did Liu Chenglin from the next courtyard go back inside his house.

The rain outside grew heavier. If this rain keeps up, the brigade’s Pond might not get cleaned, Yunyi thought. It’s a good thing I acted first tonight.

The shack in Nanbai Village wasn’t far, so it didn’t take them long to arrive.

Pushing open the door, she found no light inside; fortunately, Yunyi had brought a flashlight.

Upon entering, she saw the child was pale-faced, with fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead. ”When did you notice he was sick?”

As she spoke, she reached out to take the child’s pulse.
