This year there was a cold snap in spring, and even though it was already the end of March, the temperature had not risen, so this year's vegetables are more expensive than in previous years.

If Wen Qin didn't have Jie Mingxia, a big stove by her side, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

When Wen Qin heard that it was someone she knew, she became more concerned: "Is he okay?"

"It was discovered early, so the poisoning was not serious."

Wen Qin recalled that when she went to the machinery factory, every time she saw Yu Mai, the stove in the house was burning brighter than that of others.

"How can this child be so careless?" Wen Qin sighed, "Did you prepare food for him?"

Xie Mingxia shook his head: "He can't eat yet. He has no family here. The security department sent another person to keep him company overnight. I have to bring him some."

Wen Qin didn't ask why Jie Mingxia had to solve the problem in the Security Department, but went in to help pack the lunch boxes.

Xie Mingxia ate two bites and left, telling Wen Qin not to wait at the door.

Wenqin didn't sleep well that night, and she made breakfast and went to the hospital early the next morning.

The township people's hospital rescued Yu Mai alone last night, and Wen Qin found out after just asking.

The hospital is bustling and lively in the early morning.

There were people coming in and out, patients groaning, children making noises, and some sad cries.

Wen Qin frowned and found Yu Mai's ward.

Xie Mingxia was sitting there dozing off. When she felt someone coming in, she raised her head suddenly and was met with Wen Qin's smiling face.

Wen Qin poked her head out from behind the door and saw Jie Mingxia. She immediately smiled at him and raised the bag in her hand.

There were two lunch boxes in the bag. Wen Qin did not forget to tell Mingxia that there were two people here.

"I still have to go to work, so I came to see you. I'll ask Guiqiu to bring you lunch at noon." Wen Qin put down the things in her hands and went to look at Yu Mai who was lying there.

Yu Mai was still asleep, his face was a little pale, but he looked fine.

"How is it?" Wen Qin said to Jie Mingxia with her mouth.

Xie Mingxia pulled Wen Qin out. As soon as they opened the door, another young man who was accompanying the night came in: "Brother Mingxia, what's this?"

Xie Mingxia pointed to the bag on the cabinet and said, "Your sister-in-law brought you breakfast. Eat it first. I'll take your sister-in-law to work."

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law, take care. Brother Mingxia, you should go back and have some rest. You said you would call me in the middle of the night, but you didn't call me until dawn."

"You are the only one who talks too much." Xie Mingxia said, and pulled Wen Qin away.

Wen Qin let him pull her, but when Jie Mingxia pushed the cart to send her off, she pulled Jie Mingxia back and said, "You haven't slept all night and you're still sending me to work?"

"Aren't you afraid to push the cart across the floating bridge?" Xie Mingxia said, "Besides, I only didn't sleep for one night. I was fine if I didn't sleep for a few nights before."

Wen Qin held him back: "I'll walk there, you go back to sleep, come pick me up when I get off work."

Seeing that Mingxia was about to say something, Wenqin quickly interrupted him: "Do you understand that you can't drive while tired? You are not riding alone. I am sitting in the back seat of your bike. You have to consider my safety."

Seeing that Wen Qin said this, Xie Mingxia didn't know what to say.

Besides, the hospital was not far from the school, so Xie Mingxia didn't insist.

When Wen Qin got off work, Jie Mingxia came over and parked on the floating bridge pushing the car.

"Have you rested well? Do you need to stay by my bedside at night?" Wen Qin ran over quickly.

Xie Mingxia shook his head: "Yu Mai is awake and fine. He will go to work tomorrow, but..."

Xie Mingxia paused and said, "Yu Mai said that he left the window open and it was you who reminded him, so he wanted to come to our house to thank you after he was discharged from the hospital."

Wen Qin was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that when she first met Yu Mai, she casually said that before leaving. She didn't expect that she actually saved such a person.

Wen Qin suddenly remembered that in her previous life, after she followed Deng Rong to the county town, several large factories suddenly installed ventilation chimneys in their communication rooms. It was said that someone had died from burning charcoal in the duty room of the factory below. Because it was already after Qingming Festival and the weather had started to warm up, many people wentssiped that it was unnecessary.

Could it be that Yu Mai didn't open that window in his previous life...

Wen Qin shook her head and shook off the thought: "What is there to thank me for? It was just something I said casually at the time."

Xie Mingxia drove Wen Qin back home and did not go to the hospital. When they got home, she said to Wen Qin, "What happened yesterday has reminded me that if I come home late at night, I will send someone to let you know. By the way, I want to tell you in advance that starting from the end of next month, I will not be home for several days."

Wen Qin was a little surprised: "Why?"

"When we collect silkworm cocoons every year, although most of the cocoons are transported by boat, we also need cars. We also have to compete with those private cocoon dealers. The silk weaving factory has to borrow people and cars from other factories every year."

Wen Qin was a little surprised: "There are still private cocoon dealers now?"

Xie Mingxia laughed: "Look at what you said. As long as they can make money, there will be any kind of dealer. Not to mention private salt dealers, from ancient times to the present, private salt dealers have been beheaded if they are caught. Have you ever seen fewer private salt dealers?"

Wen Qin thought about her own purchasing power and couldn't help asking, "Is this private salt very profitable?"

Xie Mingxia stared at Wen Qin. Wen Qin gradually felt guilty under his gaze and smiled a little bit ingratiatingly: "I'm just asking casually, just asking casually."

Xie Mingxia sighed: "I know you have many ways to get a lot of things, and I won't ask where you get them. You just take out the meat and food to eat yourself, and those hairbands and flowers are not important. As for the watch..."

Wen Qin couldn't help but feel a little scared. She didn't expect that Jie Mingxia knew everything about what she was selling. She always thought that Jie Mingxia only knew that she was bringing food home.

I was suddenly at a loss. I wanted to explain but didn't know how to say it, and I hesitated for a long time.

How could Xie Mingxia miss the fear that flashed across her eyes? He quickly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. What I mean is, I can handle these things. You can get them if you want. It's okay. But you must not touch salt and iron or anything like that."

It took Jie Mingxia a long time to coax Wen Qin into relaxing. Seeing Jie Mingxia so nervous, Wen Qin couldn't tell whether she was feeling relieved or had other emotions. It was just a mixture of various feelings, which was very difficult to describe.

"So you know everything I do."

Xie Mingxia tapped her forehead and said, "I'm not a god, how can I know everything? But you did things without avoiding me, and the things were right under my nose, how could I not know anything?"

Wen Qin pulled Jie Mingxia's clothes and said, "Is it dangerous to collect the cocoons?"

Anyone who dares to be a private cocoon dealer in this era is a violent and aggressive person who is greedy, cruel and not afraid of death. It is actually very dangerous to confront them head-on. However, Mingxia has been helping to transport cocoons for so many years, and they are not working alone, so Wenqin won't say these things to worry her.

"I'm going to help transport the cocoons, not to arrest anyone. How dangerous is that?"

Wen Qin and Jie Mingxia didn't know that danger would come one month later.
