Chapter 109 -109: Scavenging Some Good Stuff

“I don’t know either. When I saw him fall into the river, I just fished him out directly. Once he wakes up, we can ask him and find out then,” Jiang Changhai dug into his meal without pausing in the conversation.

“I think the clothes the child is wearing seem quite new, and the style is rather stylish. He looks fair-skinned and delicate, clearly not like a child from our village. Perhaps he’s a city kid who came to visit relatives and accidentally fell into the river while playing,” Zhang Guihua shared her guess.

“Hmm, that’s possible,” Jiang Changhai nodded, showing agreement.

Everyone in their area knew not to play on the ice-covered river in winter, as it was easy for accidents to occur.

Upon hearing this, Sun Lixia recalled the scene she had seen earlier. She hadn’t seen the like of the clothes the child was wearing, but they looked expensive.

Once the child’s parents came to pick him up, knowing that they had saved him, they would surely offer them a reward.

...

If she moved the child into her own house to take care of him, then when the time came, wouldn’t all that they gave belong to her Third Branch?

With such calculations on her mind, she put on an amiable face and said, “Big brother, since the child you rescued must be over ten years old, and San Ya is not young either, it’s not appropriate for her to sleep with a teenage boy. We have plenty of space in our room. You can send him over to sleep with Zhiwen and Zhiwu. They’re all kids, so it should be fine.”

Jiang Changhai sneered, “I’m the one who rescued the child, so of course I should take care of him myself. You don’t need to trouble yourself. If you have the time, you’d better see to Zhiwen and Zhiwu’s studies, that’s what truly matters.”

He was well aware of what his sister-in-law was scheming. She just saw the boy’s fine clothes and wanted to benefit from them.

Pah, she can dream on!

He risked his life to save the child and was determined not to let anyone else enjoy the benefits. He wasn’t foolish!

Upon hearing their uncle mention them again, Zhiwen and Zhiwu hurriedly lowered their heads and continued eating, not daring to make a sound.

Sun Lixia’s plan had fallen through, leaving her feeling quite disgruntled.

Don’t think she couldn’t see that Eldest brother had only jumped into the river to save the child because he was a city kid. As if a troublemaker and hoodlum like him would ever be that good-hearted—it was laughable!

Even the second branch’s couple and the old lady harbored such thoughts, but it wasn’t the case at all!

At the very beginning, when Jiang Changhai first saw the child in the icy river, he jumped in without a second thought. After all, he couldn’t just watch a life disappear before his eyes.

However, after saving the youngster and seeing the leather jacket he was wearing, Jiang Changhai’s mind started working.

Such a leather jacket was on display at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative priced at quite a few dozen yuan!

It had been hanging there for a long time without anyone buying it.

Even for the people in the town, a jacket that cost dozens of yuan was far too expensive.

After dinner, Jiang Mianmian and Su Wanyu slept on one side while Jiang Changhai and the youngster slept on the other.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Changhai felt as if he was lying beside a small, hot stove.

He stretched out his hand in a daze and touched a scorching body, which startled him awake.

“This is bad, he’s running a fever,” Jiang Changhai quickly got up and lit the kerosene lamp, frowning at the young boy’s feverishly red face.

“Brother Hai, what’s wrong?”

The noise of him getting up and lighting the lamp woke up Jiang Mianmian and Su Wanyu.

Jiang Mianmian rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep and not fully awake.

“The kid has a fever, and his body is burning hot. We’ll probably need to take him to the commune’s clinic,” he said.
