Although Zhou Fang was asking Jiang Chuan, he didn’t stop walking. Jiang Chuan could only follow behind him. “Chief Captain, 1 want a pass to go to the other side of the mountain to see my eldest daughter.”

Zhou Fang didn’t run without regard for his image like Chen Xing did, but his strides were large and he quickly headed east toward the village, “Here’s the deal, I’m busy now. Wait at my place, and I’ll help you when I return.”

Jiang Chuan knew what it was about. It would be boring to wait at home, so he followed Zhou Fang to see the situation.

Not many people went to the ice beauty Zhao Xin’s house. Her house was much smaller than typical ones, making it seem crowded.

There were many cases of people fainting from hunger these days. Everyone was used to it. After the autumn harvest, everyone was idle, so they gathered outside to watch the fun.

Zhou Fang and Jiang Chuan entered Zhao Xin’s house. The vegetables in the courtyard had just sprouted, probably from the seeds Jiang Chuan and the others had found on the mountain. However, they grew slower than others’. No wonder she had nothing to eat.

Her house had leaks but was kept very clean. There wasn’t much furniture, but it had all the essentials for her to live alone.

Every item inside was neatly placed, showing that Zhao Xin had high standards for living.

She lay on the bed, lifeless. Her face was pale, and her body was so frail it seemed like a piece of thin paper that could be blown away by the wind. Jiang Chuan couldn’t help but wonder if she was already beyond help.

The village head said, “Try to feed her some water first. It looks like she might be beyond saving.”

There were people searching the house, but they couldn’t find a drop of water!

Jiang Chuan felt pity for the woman. Living alone for years, she didn’t interact with villagers. No one helped her during the harvest season. If not for the two dogs barking next door, no one would’ve discovered her fainting, and she would’ve died in a few days.

Jiang Chuan’s car was stocked with food and water for travel convenience, including the interspace water from Jiang Xia.

Only the interspace water could help Zhao Xin now.

While no one was paying attention, Jiang Chuan poured some water into a cup, mixed it with half a bottle of mineral water, and brought it into the room.

“I borrowed some water from next door. Let’s feed her.”

No one questioned the truth at that moment; saving her was the priority.

Jiang Chuan handed the water to a woman from the production team to feed Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin had fainted and was unconscious. Her mouth was tightly shut, and she could not be fed at all. Another woman walked over, pinched her chin, and opened her mouth. Half of the glass of water was fed to her, and half of it was spat out, wetting her clothes and the bedding.

After a while, just when everyone had given up hope, Zhao Xin exhaled weakly and opened her eyes, “Why are there so many people?”

The woman who fed her water explained the situation to her.

Zhao Xin, with barely enough strength to sit up, she said, “Thank you all for saving me.”

Her gaze swept over everyone, pausing momentarily when it landed on Jiang Chuan, before moving on.

Seeing that she was fine, everyone was relieved and left to do their own things.

Zhou Fang, still expressionless, said to Jiang Chuan, “Let’s go. I’ll give you that pass.”

Jiangchuan nodded, recalling that someone who has fainted from hunger should not eat immediately. The best remedy would be to administer glucose. However, where could they find glucose here? Fortunately, the spatial water was miraculously effective. As he was leaving, Jiang Chuan turned back, looked at the pitiful woman on the bed, and reminded her, “Make sure to drink all the water.”

The woman nodded and glanced at Jiang Chuan.

On the way back, Zhou Fang teased Jiang Chuan, “1 heard that Zhao Xin always has a cold expression with everyone. But today, she looked at you with such tenderness. Maybe she has feelings for you.”

Zhou Fang had a poker face, which meant that even when joking, his expression remained unchanged. It looked a bit odd. Fortunately, Jiang Chuan was used to it and simply rebutted, “You shouldn’t joke about such things. My wife would be unhappy.”

“Men shouldn’t be afraid of their wives!”

“It’s about love and respect.” Jiang Chuan replied with conviction, obviously disagreeing with Zhou Fang’s sentiment.

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Fang talked and laughed along the way. Although Zhou Fang appeared indifferent, he was quite talkative. The villagers saw this and thought that Jiang Chuan was getting closer to the chief captain of the production team. They thought that he might soon rise in ranks, possibly even joining the production team.

The rumor became more exaggerated as it spread. By the time it reached the old Jiang family, it had morphed into: Jiang Chuan was soon to be in charge of the production team’s accounting..
