The hot spring resort, under orderly construction, has already attracted many people who are trying to persuade Mr. and Mrs. Zhou and Fu Dagjin to secure a position there before it even opens.

Who wouldn't want a job that allows you to make money without having to travel too far from home?

However, this matter was not up to Fu Dagjin and Zhou Shi to decide. Fu Baiman knew that the two of them lacked experience and feared they would choose the wrong person. So, he decided to let Fu Sijin handle it.

Zhou was a little unhappy, feeling that they were being put in charge of the Hot Springs Inn while she had no real authority. She quietly complained to Fu Dagjin about it.

Fu Dagjin supported his unsteady, swaying eldest son and said, "Wife, Si Jin has finished all the work and ran out of legs. Why don't you just wait to collect the money? This is what a good boss lady should do!"

Zhou thought about it, and this wasn't without reason.

Seeing this tactic work, Fu Dajin continued, "Think about it, who would have their wife boss go out and do the manual labor?"

"That makes sense." Zhou thought, Four Jin worked hard but didn't want a share of the profits, this was quite good.

Fu Dajin saw that she had stopped making a fuss and became more serious.

As for the lodge, Fu Jiujiu didn't worry about it at all. She even had a plan for promotion. She thought that simply promoting it in the newspapers would definitely generate a lot of buzz.

What she worried about most was the fifth brother. Half a month had passed, and all the other brothers and Tianfu had gone back to the county to study, but he showed no intention of leaving. If this went on, she feared he would become useless.

We need to find a way.

At noon, Tian Guihua and Zhou Shi, along with several women from the village, went to deliver meals to the men working.

Only Fu Jiujiu, Fu Wujin, Meng Yan and Si Pang were left in the Fu family.

"Fifth brother, my head hurts." Fu Jiujiao suddenly yelled at Fu Wujin.

Fu Wujin suddenly came back to his senses, looking at the little dumpling's face flushed red, but with a sweaty forehead, he was taken aback.

Mengyan heard the noise and looked over, "Little aunt, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, I feel miserable, I have a headache, I'm thirsty..."

A headache, thirst, flushed skin and sweating. Fu Wujin's heart sank. This was heat stroke!

But it's only early summer, the temperature isn't high, how could the little sister get heatstroke?

"Hardware, what's wrong with your little sister?" Mengyan's five-month pregnant belly was already quite noticeable.

On the kang, Si Pang also crawled towards Fu Jiujiu. His little meaty hand touched her face, and he went "ah ah ah" as if he was concerned about his little aunt.

"Sister-in-law, your sister might have heatstroke."

Meng Yan was a little worried, "Wujin, you're a doctor, so if it is, it is, and if it isn't, it isn't, how can it be possible? Heat stroke can kill people, you know."

Ancient medical conditions were inadequate, heat stroke deaths were common, and even today there are cases of death from heat stroke.

"Sister-in-law... I..."

"Fifth Brother, I'm so uncomfortable. Am I going to die?" The little dumpling looked at him pitifully.

Mengyan also panicked, “Wu Jin, what's wrong with you? You're a doctor, you're supposed to heal the sick and save lives.”

Fu Wujin stammered, "I'm a physician. I heal the sick and save lives, yes, I am a physician."

Meng Yan noticed that Fu Wujin was acting strange, but she didn't have time to dwell on it.

Fu Jiujiu was also anxious. Her fourth sister-in-law was heavily pregnant, and she was afraid that she would worry herself sick. But if she wanted to tell her in advance, she was afraid that the fifth brother would see through her ruse.

"Hardware, what's wrong with you? Let your little aunt take a look."

"Four... Four sister-in-law, I'm taking my little sister to town."

"What are you doing on the town?" Meng Yan said anxiously.

"I... I can't, fourth sister-in-law."

"Fifth brother, I don't want to die." The little dumpling was now clutching his hand tightly, deciding to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Fu Wujin watched the little dumpling on the kang start to twitch, his face pale with fright.

Even though Meng Yan didn't understand medicine, she knew this situation was bad. "Wu Jin, what are you doing just standing there? Hurry up, my younger sister can't be in any danger."

Si Pang was also frightened by Meng Yan's voice and cried out, "Wah wah!" Meng Yan went to comfort him again.

"Fifth Brother... Am I going to die?"

Fu Wujin was startled by the little dumpling's weak voice, and suddenly came to his senses, "No, you won't die, with Fifth Brother here, you won't die."

How could a little sister die?

He doesn't allow it.

He stammered, “I’ll get the needle, just wait, wait, Fifth Brother is getting the needle, you’ll be fine.”

Fu Jiujiu nodded. "Fifth Brother, I don't want to die."

"He won't die."

Fu Wujin's legs went weak when he was leaving, and he tripped over the threshold, falling heavily.

Fu JiuJiu heard a "thump" and she felt sorry for her fifth brother.

"Little sister, don't be afraid. Your fourth sister-in-law is here. With your fifth brother here, nothing will happen to you." Meng Yan's tears streamed down her face.

Fu Jiujiu quickly blinked at her, Meng Yan quickly wiped away her tears, thinking she had seen things.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

"Then you…"

“Shh, I’m helping Fifth Brother with his illness,” Fu Jiujiao whispered. At this moment, there were sounds of banging and crashing coming from outside, who knows what her Fifth Brother had knocked over again.

Meng Yan nodded vaguely, "What's wrong with Wu Jin?"

Just now, the playful little dumpling, upon seeing Fu Wujin enter the room, once again looked lifeless.

Fu Wujin's eyes were red, his hands trembling non-stop as he placed the needle on the kang after several tries. He wasn't sure if it was because of the psychological shadow or being frightened by the little dumpling's appearance.

Mengyan knew that the little dumpling was fine, so she wasn't so worried anymore. "Wujin, don't panic, take it slow."

"Good," Fu Wujin said, but his hand trembled uncontrollably. He finally managed to draw out a needle, but it hovered over the acupoint without landing.

"Fifth Brother…"

"Don't be afraid, Chirp."

Fu Jiujiu weakly said, "Big Brother Five, I believe you won't let me die, right?"

"Yes," Fu Wujin answered crisply and firmly, "Fifth Brother is a physician. With Fifth Brother here, Jiujiu will be fine."

"Fifth Brother, you can definitely do it," Fu Jiujiu encouraged.

Fu Wu's mind went blank, with only one thought: he couldn't let his little sister get hurt. He forgot about everything else, including Old Fang and the dead man.

Fu Wujin took a deep breath, comforting the frightened little girl while reaffirming his own belief. "Sister, elder brother will definitely save you,"

Miraculously, his hand stopped shaking.

The first needle landed precisely on the acupuncture point.

Fu Jiu Jiu is gritting her teeth in pain.

The second needle, the third needle, Fu Wujin became more and more steady. As the little dumpling's breathing gradually calmed down, it no longer twitched, and his tense heart relaxed a bit.

Mengyan didn't even dare to breathe, she was so shocked. How did her younger sister treat the four illnesses?

With the last needle dropped, Fu Wujin's back was already soaked through. He slumped on the kang as if he had exhausted all his strength.

The little dumpling suddenly jumped up from the kang and pulled off the silver needles on its body.

"<"You... " Fu Wujin pointed at the little dumpling, unable to speak.>
