The boss has only one son for three generations. After rebirth, I have three babies.

Chapter 138 Overheard

At this moment her face was flushed and her hands were clenched.

It seems a bit... overdone.

Dong Chunlan smiled at the two and said, "We don't have many quilts here, but I've washed this quilt several times since my son left. It's absolutely clean."

"Even though you two aren't married yet, there's nothing wrong with living together. Just stay here, okay? Consider it my celebration of your happy marriage. Don't forget to treat us both to a wedding banquet when you get the chance!"

Qiao Jin forced a few smiles, the corners of her mouth a little stiff: "Aunt Lan, thank you for your hard work next."

"We're in Congjia Village and are facing an epidemic. We're all very happy that our superiors are paying attention to us. After all, we've been together for most of our lives, but now we're helpless. Lao Cong and I are as anxious as ants on a hot pan."

Qiao Jin continued to ask, "Auntie Lan, if you have time, could you please talk to me about the locust plague and the symptoms of the villagers' illness?"

When Aunt Lan heard about this disease, she felt uneasy and filled with fear.

She immediately began to tell the story vividly, while Qiao Jin pretended to write something with a pen and paper.

After Aunt Lan finished speaking, Qiao Jin said nonchalantly, "I just heard from my uncle that only your family is safe and sound and has not been infected. Is that right, Aunt Lan? Then you didn't get infected when you went to check on other patients, right?"

This sentence immediately made Aunt Lan's expression gloomy, and she became very nervous and alert.

However, when she saw that Qiao Jin still had a gentle smile on her face and looked sincere, Aunt Lan breathed a sigh of relief and felt that she had overreacted a little.

Dong Chunlan covered it up with a smile, saying, "At the beginning, we had to go out and visit every household. Although we were worried about contracting the disease, as the leaders of the village, if we backed off, wouldn't it make everyone even more panicked?"

"We do feel very lucky not to have been infected, but no one can guarantee this. If I develop a fever someday, I hope I won't infect the two little comrades."

Qiao Jin comforted her, "Auntie Lan, please don't worry. I'm a professional doctor and will help you defeat the virus. Even if I get infected, I can still call on my colleagues at the hospital for help."

Dong Chunlan asked tentatively, "Miss Qiao, are all your colleagues young people?"

After realizing the intention behind this question, Qiao Jin was slightly stunned and looked at the other party calmly, waiting for the next step.

Seeing this, Dong Chunlan quickly added, "What I mean is that young people nowadays prefer to live in big cities and don't want to do hard work. For example, my family stayed in the capital after graduating from university and didn't want to come back to work."

"The old man was hoping he'd take over, but he didn't think being in charge of a small village was interesting; it couldn't compare to the comfortable life in the city. So I'm curious why a young doctor like you would be willing to serve in such a remote place."

Qiao Jin raised her head and replied, "Our original intention in doing medical work is to save lives and heal the wounded. We don't care about the size of the location, and we won't exclude you just because it's a small town. Please rest assured about this, Aunt Lan."

After hearing this, Dong Chunlan laughed and said, "I really admire you, Miss Qiao. You guys take a rest for a while, I'll go get you something to eat. Food is scarce right now, so I can only make some porridge for you two. Don't mind."

"Where?"

The two chatted casually for a few minutes, and when Dong Chunlan left and the door closed, Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin's expressions immediately changed.

They looked at each other at the same time, not knowing whether it was because they were too familiar with each other, they could understand each other's thoughts without saying much.

Just by looking at each other, they knew that something was wrong with Dong Chunlan and Cong Lefei.

Qiao Jin was about to speak when Fu Yanlin stretched out his hand, made a "hush" gesture, and pointed outside Xia Gate.

Qiao Jin looked in the direction his finger was pointing, and the tightly closed door seemed normal.

But when she saw a pair of feet revealed by the shadow outside, she suddenly became nervous and fear surged in her heart.

She took a deep breath silently and found that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.

Although this mission is her first, it doesn't make it any easier.

Fu Yanlin winked at Qiao Jin, who narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

Then, Fu Yanlin said, "Qiao Jin, I think this place is pretty good. The hospital leaders asked us to come here for training, so let's just consider it as a chance to gain experience. Maybe we can go to a better hospital in the future. I think the scenery in Congjia Village is pretty good. Let's go there together one day?"

Hearing Fu Yanlin's gentle voice, Qiao Jin blinked. She didn't expect that Fu Yanlin could pretend to be so serious.

She cleared her throat and lowered her voice, "Da Zhuang, can we really work in a big hospital? That kind of place requires connections. Besides, Congjia Village is so big, I'm afraid we don't have enough."

"Let's observe first and see if the villagers' illnesses can be cured. If it's really difficult, we can ask the hospital to send more doctors to help. Then they will all come together and we can help each other."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Dazhuang."

The two continued their conversation until the shadow at the door slowly disappeared.

Qiao Jin stared for a while, his eyes full of indifference.

She took a deep breath, walked closer to Fu Yanlin, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Do you think there's something wrong with them?"

Fu Yanlin's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said firmly, "Yes."

"But let's talk about this kind of thing tonight."

At least it's safer at night.

For some reason, even though Fu Yanlin said it was normal.

When Qiao Jin heard this, her face turned red and her heart beat fast, and she even dared not look at him!

She bit her lip and patted his chest gently.

Fu Yanlin felt like he was hit by cotton and said with a smile: "For the sake of the mission, Qiao Jin, we can't let our guard down, okay?"

Qiao Jin blushed and said, "We are acting, we must not make it real."

After all, Qiao Jin felt a little embarrassed when she saw this red bed.

Thinking about sleeping in the same bed with Fu Yanlin tonight, Qiao Jin's body trembled slightly. She tried hard to control her emotions, but her heart was still in a mess.

On the other hand, Dong Chunlan finally felt relieved after eavesdropping on the conversation.

These two people have no experience at all. One is a little girl as young as tofu, and the other is a young man.

It seems that he has no scheming.

Dong Chunlan hurried back to the room to find Cong Lefei, only to see Cong Lefei in disguise, wrapped himself tightly, preparing to go out to do something.

"Husband, I've confirmed that they pose no threat. They're just two doctors sent here. They actually think they're educated youth sent to the countryside and want to rescue us."

After hearing this, Le Fei was still skeptical and looked up and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

"I overheard it!"

"Don't mess this up, you stupid bitch! It's only my first day here, and you almost exposed yourself. If anything goes wrong this time, I won't let you off easily!"

Le Fei spoke with a threatening expression on his face and his eyes were like knives, which scared Dong Chunlan so much that she trembled all over.

Dong Chunlan nodded and smiled apologetically, "Honey, I know what to do. This is just cooperating with you. Are you going out now?"
