NovelEnglishChapter 25 The Village Chief’s Grandson
Tieniu shivered from the cold. When he heard that there was a fire, he immediately wrapped himself in his blanket and ran over.
When Zhou Ying saw him coming out, she immediately called for him to sit on the straw bed she had prepared. She lit the fire for him and said, “Slowly dry your hair. Otherwise, you’ll get a headache from the cold wind.”
“Okay,” Tieniu replied. He immediately stretched his head out and fanned his hair before slowly drying it.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying had to go forward and help him dry his hair.
At that moment, Gu Chengrui had also finished changing his clothes. He came out with his wet clothes in his hand and handed them to her. “Baby, I’ll stoke the fire. You can wring the clothes and hang them outside.”

She saw three people rushing up the mountain when she left the temple. After wringing the water out, she immediately walked to the side and put the thermal underwear into her interspace.
Then, she hung the wet clothes on a large rock next to the temple.
Just then, the three people also came up. Noticing the woman in the lead carrying a large bag, Zhou Ying wanted to go forward and greet her. But the three people had already walked into the temple.
When they saw the tightly wrapped Tieniu sitting by the fire, the three finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The woman carrying the bundle was Tieniu’s mother, Mrs. Bai. When she saw Tieniu’s trembling appearance, she scolded him with tears flowing down her face, “You stupid kid! How many times have I told you not to go into the water? Never go into the water! You never listen! This time ...”
Before she could finish her sentence, Tieniu immediately opened his mouth and started crying.
Seeing this, Mrs. Bai cried too and said, “Don’t cry anymore. Mom won’t scold you anymore. But you also have to ...”
The man beside her, who was Tieniu’s father, Qian Jiaxi, immediately stepped forward and took the bag from her. He walked forward and lifted Tieniu along with his blanket. Then, he turned around and used the blanket as a cover to change his clothes.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she stepped forward and took over brewing the medicine.
At the same time, the village chief walked to Gu Chengrui and cupped his hands in salute. “I would like to thank the two of you. Otherwise, my stubborn grandson, Tieniu, would have been in deep trouble.”
Gu Chengrui quickly stopped him from saluting. “Grandpa Qian, you’re too courteous. No one would ignore it if they saw it.”
At the same time, he was very surprised. He really didn’t expect to save the grandson of the village chief by chance.
It seemed that their luck was pretty good. There was a high chance that they could get a house now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It is fate that we meet.” Gu Chengrui sneezed three times in a row right after the village chief finished speaking.
The village chief hurriedly said, “You will catch a cold. Hurry over and warm up by the fire. I already had someone get a doctor. Later, the doctor will take a look and prescribe some medicine for you.”
“I have some cold-dispelling medicine here. It’s already been boiled. When the doctor comes, just let him take a look at Tieniu. I don’t need it. ” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he immediately went to the fire to warm himself up.
Seeing this, the village chief also followed. He sat on the bed of straws at the side and chatted with him.
Only then did he remember that the couple had been staying here for the past few days. It was already starting to freeze at night, and they couldn’t stay here any longer.
He looked at Gu Chengrui and asked, “That’s right. I remember you talking about looking for a house two days ago. Have you found a suitable one?”
“We’ve asked around, but there really isn’t a suitable house in the village.”
“What are your plans next?”
“Do you think you can give us a piece of land? We’ll build a house to stay in for the winter and make further plans after spring.”
“Do you have money to build a house?”
