Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 234 - 233 Xia Xiao Shook Her Head

Li Zhenchuan didn’t hesitate to suck out the poisonous blood from Ning Hui. Ning Hui was visibly moved, and Xia Xiao saw tears beginning to gather in her eyes. But the next second, Ning Hui’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Ning Hui," Xia Xiao was frightened and regretted not giving her some spring water to drink right away.

Now, in front of everyone, it wasn’t appropriate for Xia Xiao to do that. At that moment, the snake had been completely killed by two blows from a hoe wielded by Gao Jiazhi.

Zheng Xianghong quickly chewed up some herbs and, after Li Zhenchuan had finished extracting the poison, applied them to Ning Hui’s wound. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Xia Xiao hurriedly poured some water from her own bottle into Li Zhenchuan’s bottle, saying, "Secretary Li, rinse your mouth with this water please."

Her bottle contained spring water, which was somewhat better, but now it wasn’t possible to give Ning Hui any to drink.

"Yes, Secretary Li, you better rinse your mouth quickly," Zheng Xianghong also said.

"Thank you," Li Zhenchuan took his bottle, hurriedly rinsed his mouth, but his heart was filled with great concern for Ning Hui’s condition.

"I’ll take Ning Hui to the hospital," said Li Zhenchuan.

Zheng Xianghong nodded and said, "Jiazhi, you and Xia Xiao should go too."

Zheng Xianghong felt that, since Ning Hui was a woman and close to Xia Xiao, she could take care of Ning Hui. As for Gao Jiazhi, he was there to help.

Although Zheng Xianghong knew some medicine, she wasn’t a doctor, and the matter of Ning Hui’s life wasn’t something Zheng Xianghong could take lightly.

Xia Xiao nodded, and they immediately set off for the hospital in a bullock cart driven by Gao Jiazhi.

As soon as Xia Xiao and the others left, Gao Guoqiang asked everyone to continue to clear the land but to be cautious of venomous snakes.

Once on the bullock cart, Xia Xiao, seeing Li Zhenchuan holding Ning Hui, said, "Secretary Li, we’re heading to the county hospital. It might be easier if I hold her."

Li Zhenchuan nodded, handed Ning Hui over to Xia Xiao, who then cradled her in her arms. They reached the county hospital smoothly despite expecting questioning, given the emergency of treating the snake poisoning.

"Oh my, this is serious," the doctors in the hospital took the matter very seriously.

However, the hospital in the small town was limited in its capabilities; they gave Ning Hui an injection and instructed Xia Xiao and the others to administer medicine and observe her in the hospital.

At this point, Xia Xiao wasn’t sure if the hospital’s injections and medicine could save Ning Hui, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Gao Jiazhi had already gone back. Li Zhenchuan stayed with Ning Hui while Xia Xiao went to fetch water.

"Rest assured, she won’t die," Shitou said.

"But she hasn’t woken up," Xia Xiao was very worried.

"Secretary Li sucked out the poison, Zheng Xianghong applied the medicine, and the hospital has provided injections and medication. She definitely won’t die, you survived it yourself."

Shitou’s words didn’t reassure Xia Xiao much, as she felt her survival had been a matter of luck and possibly Shitou’s involvement.

Otherwise, the original person might have died too, so even after hearing Shitou’s words and not seeing Ning Hui awaken, Xia Xiao remained anxious.

"I’ll give her some spring water later," Xia Xiao had been thinking about this for a while but hadn’t found the chance, especially since Li Zhenchuan was constantly by Ning Hui’s side, preventing Xia Xiao from being too obvious.

Shitou said, "Give it to her tomorrow. Ning Hui did this trying to save Secretary Li, otherwise, he would have been the one bitten. Aren’t you trying to get them together?"

Xia Xiao paused, right, now it was also an opportunity for Ning Hui to let Li Zhenchuan realize what his feelings for Ning Hui really were.

Then Xia Xiao, upon hearing Shitou’s words, did nothing else.

After Xia Xiao finished fetching water and returned, Li Zhenchuan said, "Xia Xiao, you go eat first."

"Okay, then I’ll also bring back a meal for Secretary Li," Xia Xiao nodded and left.

She didn’t go to a restaurant to eat but entered her room, continuously thinking about what had happened before.

Xia Xiao greatly admired Ning Hui for today’s events; anyone who could battle a snake was a heroine in her heart.

And Ning Hui was willing to sacrifice so much for Li Zhenchuan, Xia Xiao was also moved, thinking, if Gao Jiaxing were about to be bitten by a snake, what about her?

What would she do?

Xia Xiao thought she would throw stones at the snake but wouldn’t dare touch it.

However, if there were a snake, Gao Jiaxing would catch it immediately.

Xia Xiao didn’t cook; she simply made some egg noodles with two slices of meat on top, and after finishing her meal, she packed a portion for Li Zhenchuan.

Li Zhenchuan silently accepted the noodles Xia Xiao had packed, eating while his gaze remained on the unconscious Ning Hui. Xia Xiao didn’t speak, just stayed by Ning Hui’s side, holding her hand, feeling her warmth.

After a while, Li Zhenchuan finished eating and then said to Xia Xiao, "Did I make a mistake?"

Xia Xiao looked at Li Zhenchuan and shook her head, "Secretary Li, you didn’t do anything wrong, and you don’t need to blame yourself. This was what Ning Hui willingly did."

Xia Xiao thought, if she didn’t like someone and was forced by her family to marry him, she would resist and feel repelled too.

In her previous life, didn’t her mom hope she would marry that boss? Xia Xiao would never agree to that.

And now, the situation between Li Zhenchuan and Ning Hui was different from hers but similarly arranged by parents, yet Ning Hui was willing, and Li Zhenchuan had previously liked Ning Hui’s sister, which complicated things.

Xia Xiao didn’t feel right to judge much; Li Zhenchuan wasn’t wrong, nor was Ning Hui.

Both families had the intention of joining through marriage, and it just happened that Ning Hui liked Li Zhenchuan. If Ning Hui’s sister had been the one to marry, Li Zhenchuan probably wouldn’t have refused and might even have been very willing.

But Ning Hui’s sister had someone else in her heart and was already married, making Li Zhenchuan and Ning Hui’s sister miss their chance.

He was still single, and there was nothing wrong with Ning Hui liking Li Zhenchuan; after all, both were single and had the right to like and pursue someone. It was just unfortunate for Ning Hui that Li Zhenchuan still had her sister in his heart, making it hard for him to accept Ning Hui.

Even if the two families joined through marriage, Li Zhenchuan would still be resistant, but he couldn’t do anything about the elders and couldn’t call off the marriage, only able to run away and drag it out.

And Ning Hui also didn’t use the right methods, which led to years of entanglement between them, and until yesterday, even though Li Zhenchuan hadn’t accepted Ning Hui yet, he had started to care about her, which was a good start.

Now that Ning Hui had been bitten by a snake for Li Zhenchuan, though it wasn’t intentionally planned, it moved Li Zhenchuan somewhat.

Li Zhenchuan said, "I’ve always thought of her as the little sister from next door, thinking she was blindly having a temporary misconception, hoping that one day, she would give up."

"But she didn’t give up; she persisted for so many years, and now Secretary Li, you can see her heart clearly," Xia Xiao picked up where Li Zhenchuan left off.

Li Zhenchuan nodded earnestly as if making a promise, "I will give her what she wants."

Yet Xia Xiao shook her head.
