Chapter 20: Awakening Progress +20

　　When Lin Wenping saw Gu Nianwei, his eyes suddenly turned red.

　　"Miss Gu, Sister Gu, my brother has a high fever and my grandmother won't take him to the clinic. I heard that you have some antipyretic medicine. Please save my brother." Lin Wenping said, and then he knelt on the bluestone slab at the door of the dormitory with a plop, making a muffled sound.

　　"If you don't save my brother, he will be dead. Please, please."

　　Everyone's heart trembled when hearing the sound. Jiang Youtao's face suddenly darkened. She looked at Gu Nianwei, who pursed her lips.

　　According to the description in the book, Lin Wenping was a smart kid since he was young. When his peers were still peeing and playing in the mud, he was already thinking about how to eat and dress well. His twin brother Lin Wen'an was a simpleton, always being led around by Lin Wenping. It was common for him to be cheated, fooled, and taken advantage of, and he was grateful to Lin Wenping in return.

　　As Lin Wenping got older, he became more adept at using schemes and tricks. After becoming his stepmother, Gu Nianwei was very afraid that he would go astray, so she tried her best to make him walk on the right path.

　　She spent a lot of energy on him. Unfortunately, no matter how much time and patience she spent, it was in vain. Under her guidance, Lin Wenping became a man who looked gentleman on the surface but was hypocritical on the inside.

　　Jiang Youtao never looked down on any child, and she never looked down on Gu Nianwei's three step-sons, nor would she despise them just because she knew what would happen next. On the contrary, her level of vigilance towards the three of them became higher and higher.

　　She knew these kids were not good people when she read the book, and now she is even more certain.

　　Look, look, he is only seven or eight years old, but he is so skilled in using morality blackmailing.

　　It seemed as if he was really desperate. But Jiang Youtao had read the whole book, and she knew that before Lin Wenping's mother died, she gave all her secretly accumulated savings to Lin Wenping.

　　Before, Zhao Chunhua didn't give them food, but he didn't use it. Now that it has come to a life-and-death situation, he still doesn't give it out. Instead, he places his hope on an educated youth who has nothing to do with them now.

　　If this isn't selfish, what is? In this era of lack of medical care and medicine, how many people die from high fever every year? How many people become disabled because of high fever?

　　Lin Wenping is so smart. There are people in Liushugou who have become stupid or blind due to fever. How could he not know the seriousness of this matter? He knows, but he doesn't care. He only knows that he doesn't want to use his money.

　　The reason why he asked to come here was just because he relied on the fact that Gu Nianwei was swept up in the consciousness of the small world and was particularly good to them, and they were sure that Gu Nianwei would become their stepmother.

　　After all, in that book, the three brothers Lin Wenping worshipped their father Lin Jianzhong as a god-like person, and they didn't think that Gu Nianwei would not want to marry their father. Since she wanted to marry their father, wouldn't it be normal to please the three brothers in advance?

　　The rain was still falling, hitting the tiles above heads and rushing to the ground along the grooves left in the tiles. Puddles of varying depths had been created on the edges of the blue bricks in the corridor.

　　It was like a blow to their hearts.

　　The eyes of the female educated youth, including Zhang Huihui, were all on Gu Nianwei. Everyone was waiting for her answer. Lin Wenping was still crying, and the thin, childish sobs mixed with the sound of rain were particularly heartbreaking.

　　Gu Nianwei took a step forward, and Jiang Youtao grabbed her wrist. Even though Gu Nianwei was extremely anxious, she still stopped.

　　Jiang Youtao looked at Lin Wenping who was halfway up from the ground and said, "Wenping, right? I think you shouldn't have come to us about your brother's high fever. Although your grandmother is a worthless person, you have your grandfather, your aunt, and the captain. Any of them is closer to you three brothers than you are to us."

　　"Besides, even if your sister Gu has medicine, she is not a doctor. We have no idea what your brother's condition is. If we rashly give him the medicine and he has problems, who will be held responsible?"

　　Lin Wenping's crying expression suddenly froze.

　　Gu Nianwei struggled. She wanted to follow Lin Wenping to see Lin Wenrong, but her heart told her that she shouldn't go and couldn't go. She came from the future, and she had seen many cases of various sequelae caused by taking the wrong medicine. She was not a doctor, and she had not even studied medicine.

　　All her medical knowledge comes from some information she saw on the Internet and the doctors she visited when she was sick.

　　She had a full range of medicines, but were they 100% safe? What if Lin Wenrong was unlucky and happened to be allergic to a certain medicine?

　　Just like Jiang Youtao said, if something goes wrong, who is responsible?

　　Besides, Jiang Youtao was right. In terms of closeness, Lin Wenping should never have looked for her.

　　But the more rational she was, the more anxious she became. She wanted to follow Lin Wenping, and she was so anxious that she couldn't sit still.

　　Gu Nianwei began to struggle, and Jiang Youtao started to pinched her wrist.

　　She specifically pinched the bones on Gu Nianwei's hand, which was particularly painful.

　　Sure enough, after the pain subsided, Gu Nianwei's struggling movements began to ease.

　　Jiang Youtao didn't look at Lin Wenping, who looked unhappy, and said to Li Yunying, "Sister Yunying, please send this kid back home. It would be best if you could send him to his aunt's house or the captain's house. We can't do anything about this matter."

　　Li Yunying glanced at Gu Nianwei and saw that she didn't object, so she grabbed the umbrella standing by the door, walked over, put her arm around Lin Wenping's back and pushed him forward: "A child's fever is no small matter, we must take it seriously. Come on, I'll take you to see the captain."

　　A child is not as strong as an adult, so no matter how unwilling Lin Wenping is, he was pushed by Li Yunying.

　　After walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Gu Nianwei pitifully, and then looked at Jiang Youtao with vicious eyes between his eyes.

　　That look was as vicious as a poisonous snake in the gutter, which made people shudder.

　　Jiang Youtao gripped Gu Nianwei's wrist and unconsciously exerted force.

　　She dragged Gu Nianwei to the firewood shed next to their dormitory.

　　The firewood in the firewood shed was neatly stacked in two piles along the wall. Jiang Youtao stopped between the two piles.

　　She let go of Gu Nianwei's hand and looked at her seriously: "Weiwei, come and tell me what's wrong with you. Why do you become a different person every time you see the Lin brothers?"

　　"Could it be that you really want to be their stepmother, as the villagers say, so you try to please them in advance?"

　　There are no secrets in the village. They all saw how good Gu Nianwei was to the three Lin Wenping brothers.

　　They didn't say anything, but behind the scenes everyone was speculating about the purpose of Gu Nianwei's action.

　　Xu Dazui and the others didn't say these words in front of Gu Nianwei because they had a good relationship with her, but others did say them a lot.

　　Gu Nianwei looked at Jiang Youtao in front of her and suddenly smiled bitterly. She fell back and leaned on the firewood behind her: "Taotao, you are my best friend, I won't hide anything from you."

　　It has been several days since Gu Nianwei discovered that something was wrong with her. She has been trying to figure out what was going on, but she still hasn't figured it out.

　　The desire that drove her to go with Lin Wenping just now was so strong that Gu Nianwei still felt scared when she thought about it now.

　　"I don't know what's wrong with me. Every time I see the three brothers of the Lin family, I feel so sorry for them and want to treat them well. Whenever they have any problems, I feel very uncomfortable."

　　"Just like what happened just now, when I heard that Lin Wenrong was sick and his grandmother didn't let him go to the hospital for treatment, I felt very distressed and even wanted to take his place." Gu Nianwei said, grabbing the clothes on her chest in horror.

　　His eyes were filled with fear.

　　Jiang Youtao felt a little reluctant when she saw this. But the matter about the three brothers of the Lin family, including Lin Jianzhong, was like a time bomb. If the fuse was not wetted first, Gu Nianwei might lose herself if she was not careful.

　　She took a step forward, held Gu Nianwei in her arms, and patted her shoulders gently.

　　They are both the same height, about 1.7 meters. Gu Nianwei leaned on Jiang Youtao's shoulder, feeling the endless warmth coming from her. Gu Nianwei relaxed, and a line of hot tears flowed down her face.

　　She was only 25 years old before she traveled through time. Although her life experiences since childhood were rather complicated, she still felt terrified when faced with such a supernatural event.

　　She was suffering a lot during this period.

　　She wanted to talk to Jiang Youtao, but she was afraid that Jiang Youtao would think she was crazy. She was even more afraid that if this matter was accidentally spread, people would say that she was promoting feudal superstition and was the remnant of society.

　　In this special period, Gu Nianwei really didn't dare to gamble.

　　But today she really couldn't hold on any longer. The feeling of being out of control was too terrible.

　　The moment she said everything, Gu Nianwei didn't dare to look at Jiang Youtao's face. She was afraid to see the disbelief on Jiang Youtao's face, afraid to see the strange look in Jiang Youtao's eyes when he looked at her.

　　Gu Nianwei was afraid, just like when she was a child she was afraid to see the expressions of other children when they found out that her parents were divorced.

　　Gu Nianwei thought she would be waiting for Jiang Youtao's sarcastic words, but unexpectedly what she got was a sincere hug.

　　Gu Nianwei's heart relaxed all of a sudden, and her tears began to flow out of her control.

　　But compared with the equally out-of-control feeling just now, Gu Nianwei felt much better.

　　Jiang Youtao sighed quietly in her heart: "I believe you."

　　Gu Nianwei didn't say anything. She cried silently for a while before coming out of Jiang Youtao's arms.

　　Jiang Youtao glanced at Zhao Yonglan who was looking around at the dormitory door and rolled her eyes: "Let's stay here for a while and talk properly. If we go back now, who knows what Zhao Yonglan will say."

　　Zhao Yonglan could be said to be a big troublemaker at the educated youth site. She would get involved in everything to show her presence.

　　Jiang Youtao still remembered the gloating expression on her face when she saw Lin Wenping just now.

　　Gu Nianwei's eyes were still red. She was strong-willed and didn't want anyone to see her crying, so she nodded and said nothing.

　　The two found a larger piece of wood and sat down. "Weiwei, since you don't want to be the stepmother of the Lin Wenping brothers, then you should stay away from them in the future. I don't believe that they can still control you if you don't see them."

　　In the past, Gu Nianwei had planned to confirm it a few more times, but after what happened today, Gu Nianwei became scared.

　　Today, she was just forced to see Lin Wenrong. What about in the future? What if she was asked to help the three brothers of the Lin family do something else? What if what she was asked to do was harmful to herself?

　　No matter how much Gu Nianwei loved children, she didn't love them enough to sacrifice herself for them.

　　She looked at Jiang Youtao seriously: "Taotao, if one day I do something unreasonable, like today, you can hold me back. If necessary, you can take coercive measures, and even beat me up."

　　Jiang Youtao nodded vigorously under Gu Nianwei's gaze.

　　The moment she nodded, the melon-eating system went online silently.

　　[ Ding ~~~ It is detected that the heroine's thoughts have changed. The awakening progress is +20. Now the heroine's awakening progress is 25.5%. The host is rewarded with 10 melon coins. Please continue to be rewarded. ]

　　Jiang Youtao was completely stunned when she heard the system broadcast.

　　What's happening?

　　What's going on?

　　What happened?
