Chapter 2: High Fever

“Sister Lin, why are you here?”

Wen Qingchuan stood up and opened the door.

Standing at the door was a plump woman in a gray coat, about 40 years old. She was standing at the door, looking inside.

This person was the one they had discussed earlier, Instructor Lin’s wife, Shen Cui.

Wen Qingchuan’s face wasn’t looking good, and now seeing Shen Cui come over, his heart was as clear as a mirror.

He received a task during training yesterday and had no time to go home to tell Shen Sangyu.

On the way, he happened to meet Shen Cui who was picking up her children from school, so he gave her 20 yuan in the hope that she could help take care of Shen Sangyu.

As a result, Shen Sangyu told him categorically that no one came to the door.

He and Shen Sangyu have been married for three months. Although Shen Sangyu has a bad temper, she never lies.

So Wen Qingchuan can be sure that Shen Cui not only didn’t bring Shen Sangyu food all day, but also didn’t even go upstairs to see her.

Shen Sangyu was still recovering from a serious illness. When he went to training yesterday, she was still running a low fever.

Thinking of Shen Sangyu’s expression when she saw him just now, he couldn’t imagine how Shen Sangyu would spend the night if he didn’t come back today.

Even if there is no love between him and Shen Sangyu, since he married her, he has to take care of her for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Wen Qingchuan’s face doesn’t look very good at this moment.

Shen Cui looked at Wen Qingchuan’s dark face and felt a little guilty, quickly explaining: “I came to see Sister Shen, is she feeling better now?”

“Thanks to Aunt Lin, she hasn’t starved to death.”

Suddenly, a soft and sticky voice came from the living room.

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Sangyu came out with a white gauze on her head and a pale face.

Shen Sangyu and the original owner are both from the south, and they speak with a soft and gentle taste, but Shen Sangyu’s expression is cold and lazy at this moment, and there is a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Shen Cui felt even more guilty, lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Shen Sangyu’s eyes: “Sister Shen, what are you talking about? Aunt was delayed by something at noon, and now I’m here to see you!”

Shen Cui said, even convinced by her own words, completely forgetting that she was in a hurry to go upstairs to see Wen Qingchuan because she saw him suddenly come back.

“Really? Where’s the meal you sent me?”

“Huh? Meal…what meal?” Shen Cui was stunned and looked at the other person with wide eyes.

Shen Sangyu laughed angrily: “Wen Qingchuan gave you 20 yuan yesterday to take care of me. Do you want to embezzle it?”

Shen Sangyu’s voice wasn’t loud, but she was the focus of the entire family compound. Many people watched this scene when she yelled.

People in this era love face. Shen Cui didn’t expect Shen Sangyu to say this to herself directly. She was so angry that her face turned red: “Who wants to embezzle your money?

And I said that I was delayed by something at noon. Didn’t I just rush home to see you?” Shen Sangyu just wanted to laugh twice in her heart.

In the original owner’s memory, this sister Lin was a big mouth and a fence-sitter. The original owner has the current “record” thanks to this sister Lin.

Want to embezzle 20 yuan this time?

Don’t even think about it!

Shen Sangyu endured the headache and was about to speak, but Wen Qingchuan suddenly said: “Sister Lin, since you didn’t take care of my wife, you naturally have to return the money.”

Before he finished, Wen Qingchuan added: “Twenty yuan, not a penny less.”

Nowadays, an ordinary worker only earns thirty or forty yuan a month, and Wen Qingchuan actually gave twenty yuan at once?

The spectators who originally thought that Shen Sangyu was aggressive couldn’t help but feel a toothache, wondering why Wen Qingchuan didn’t find them?

“Sister Lin, this is not how people behave. Twenty yuan is our salary for most of the month. You have to return it to Captain Wen.”

Shen Cui’s face turned pale and her heart was very painful. It was obvious that she just wanted to waste it and didn’t want to give it.

At this moment, someone shouted “Instructor Lin is here”, and before everyone could react, Shen Cui was slapped in the face the next second.

This slap caught Shen Cui off guard, and Shen Sangyu was also startled. She stared blankly at Shen Cui, who was covering her face in shock, and the tall and thin man who suddenly appeared.

Wen Qingchuan saw that Shen Sangyu was obviously frightened, so he quickly pulled her behind him and stepped forward with a sullen face: “Coach Lin, what are you doing?

We don’t have a rule that allows you to beat your wife.”

Lin Shengfeng was a little embarrassed, but since he had already beaten her, he couldn’t lose face.

He said to Shen Cui with a gloomy face: “Hurry up and return the money. Does your family need these twenty yuan? Aren’t you ashamed?”

Shen Cui dared not to listen this time, and took out two ten-yuan bills from her purse and handed them to Shen Sangyu.

Lin Shengfeng’s face was still not good. Feeling the faces of the people in the yard who were watching the fun, he dragged Shen Cui back home with a sullen face.

Shen Sangyu didn’t react for a while while holding the money. Wen Qingchuan had already let everyone go and closed the door.

It was almost dusk now, and the whole room became much darker when the door was closed.

Wen Qingchuan turned on the light, and the orange-yellow light illuminated the whole room.

Wen Qingchuan looked at Shen Sangyu, and suddenly felt that Shen Sangyu seemed different after not seeing her for a day.

Shen Sangyu felt Wen Qingchuan’s gaze, and when he looked up, he saw the other party’s inquiring eyes.

His heart suddenly sank, and he held the twenty yuan in his pocket tightly without thinking: “This is mine!”

Shen Sangyu didn’t know how much money the original owner had, but in his memory, the original owner ate a lot of fish and meat every day before he was injured.

At first, Wen Qingchuan gave all his salary to the original owner, but who knew that the original owner went to restaurants every day and spent Wen Qingchuan’s salary in a few days, causing Wen Qingchuan to never dare to give his salary to the original owner again.

For this reason, the original owner had a big fight with him, but the other party was unmoved.

Now Wen Qingchuan is looking at himself, could it be that he wants to take the money back?

Shen Sangyu was a little entangled.

After all, the money is indeed Wen Qingchuan’s.

But looking around, the house can almost be described as bare except for a few worn-out benches and a bed in the master bedroom.

If Wen Qingchuan was on a mission again, and she couldn’t cook, how close would she be to starving to death?

Shen Sangyu thought that this was absolutely impossible, so she put her hands on her waist and imitated the way the original owner had yelled at Wen Qingchuan before: “The money is in my pocket, so it’s mine.

Don’t even think about asking me to give it back to you! Also, you must leave money for me when you go out in the future, otherwise, like today, I will starve to death and I will not let you go even if I become a ghost.”

Seeing this, Wen Qingchuan did not ask for money, but said: “If you still have a low fever tomorrow, I will take you to the hospital.”

Wen Qingchuan felt that Shen Sangyu was still the same Shen Sangyu as before, but the way of speaking was very different from before.

They were both aggressive, but Shen Sangyu now made him feel pleasing to the eye inexplicably.

Could it be that he fell and made himself stupid?

Wen Qingchuan was a little worried, thinking that he would go to the hospital tomorrow to see what was wrong with his head.

However, before the next day, Shen Sangyu suddenly had a high fever that night.

The couple had always slept in separate rooms, and Wen Qingchuan slept on a camp bed in the study.

As a soldier, his hearing was much more alert than that of ordinary people, and Shen Sangyu had a low fever today, so he had been paying attention to the movement from the master bedroom.

Sure enough, when it was midnight, he heard a painful groan from next door, and then there was a bang, as if something had fallen heavily to the ground.

Wen Qingchuan had a bad premonition in his heart, and he found Shen Sangyu fainted under the bed.

Shen Sangyu murmured something she couldn’t understand, her face was pale, but beads of sweat were oozing out.

Wen Qingchuan didn’t hesitate, he picked up Shen Sangyu and ran to the hospital.

Wen Qingchuan didn’t have time to borrow a car, it was cold outside, he could only wrap Shen Sangyu in a quilt, and when he ran to the hospital he was surprised to find that his back was sweating.

After the doctor examined her, he suddenly looked at Wen Qingchuan with a scrutinizing look.

Wen Qingchuan asked nervously: “Doctor, what’s the matter?”

“What’s your relationship with this comrade?”

Wen Qingchuan said quickly: “I’m her husband.”

The next second, the doctor’s face suddenly fell: “Why did you send the patient to the hospital now?

The patient has a high fever of 40 degrees! If the fever continues, she will almost become a fool!”
