After Lv Yun bought the medicine, Jin Xiaolou guarded the small copper furnace until dusk before sitting down beside Lin'er with the medicine bowl ready.

With Lv Yun's support, Jin Xiaolou used one hand to pry open the tender little mouth, and the other to scoop up the black bitter medicine to feed it. Lv Yun immediately extended his hand and gently patted Lin'er's back, and placed the medicine in his mouth into her stomach.

The two of them were so tired that they were sweating. When it got dark, they only fed them half a bowl.

Another hour passed before he finished drinking the entire bowl of soup.

Jin Xiaolou covered Lin'er with a blanket, causing him to sweat profusely. Then, she ordered Lv Yun to guard right in front of him without leaving even for a moment, while she picked up the dumpling that was just out of the pot and walked towards Jiang Chan's house.

Seeing that the Boss Jin had arrived, Jiang Chan who was initially on the bed immediately stood up. After putting on her clothes, she placed the fruit on the table, then raised her hand to cover her lips and started coughing.

Jin Xiaolou hurriedly helped her sit down: ”If you're in the water, quickly lie still.”

Saying that, he peeled the zongzi leaf, placed it on a small plate at the side, and gave it to Jiang Chan: ”Eat first and fill your stomach. Your body is more important.”

Jiang Chan's face turned red, she was already lying back on the bed, she extended his hand but did not grab the plate, instead, she grabbed Jin Xiaolou's wrist: ”Innkeeper, I'm not worried, is Lin'er alright?”

Without waiting for Jin Xiaolou to answer, Jiang Chan continued, ”As long as Lin'er is fine, even if I die twice, what's the point?!”

Jin Xiaolou smiled lightly, and comforted her: ”Don't worry. Lin'er is blessed with such a great life, and with all of you risking your lives to look after his, it is naturally going to be alright. I should be grateful to you, for this match about Lin'er's illness. ”

Jiang Chan nodded her head as she received the dumpling. After taking two bites, her eyes drooped, and tears streamed down her face: ”I truly cherish Lin'er as if she were my own child, seeing how Lin'er fell into the water, feeling worse than if I fell into the water myself, what is there to be grateful or not, if the shopkeeper doesn't mind, then why not let me recognize him as my foster son. From then on, we will be family, and take care of each other, and help each other out on the road.”

Jin Xiaolou also lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

She did not expect Jiang Chan to be so straightforward as to take her as her son.

Jin Xiaolou peeled another dumpling and started to eat herself. After taking two bites, he said: ”I'm just curious, Lin'er is usually bothered by Lv Yun, why did she run out on her own and fall into the pond?”

Jiang Chan wiped away her tears, her expression did not change, and said softly: ”I'm not too sure either. said that she chased after a paper butterfly, but after we went to look for it, we did not see any paper butterflies. There are many girls in this shop, and occasionally one or two of them would like to break butterflies. ”

”Then when the Lin'er fell into the water, were you by the side?” Jin Xiaolou continued to ask.

Jiang Chan nodded her head: ”Of course I'm there. I was on the other side of the pond, and across the Great Surge to see Lin'er sitting in the carriage and walking towards the pool. I was extremely anxious, but Xi Yu was also useless. Seeing Lin'er fall into the water, I rushed over without a care, and jumped in without thinking. ”

”Yes.” Jin Xiaolou slowly walked over, ”This rice dumpling without the yellow bean noodles and white sugar is really not tasty.”

Jiang Chan was startled, she never thought that she would be talking about such an important matter, Jin Xiaolou was actually concerned about the dumpling in her mouth.

Following that, he also smiled in agreement, ”Yes, you still need to dip your sugar noodles in order to eat the dumplings.”

Hearing that, Jin Xiaolou stood up: I'll go to the kitchen to get some noodles and sugar.

Jiang Chan quickly said: ”Innkeeper, wh-wh-what I just said...”

”You mean to say that you recognize Lin'er as your son?” Jin Xiaolou turned around and laughed, ”Since Lin'er can get someone to treat him with sincerity, it would naturally be great. And since you are his savior, he should be filial to you. However, right now he's unconscious, so let's talk about it after he wakes up. ”

Jiang Chan heard that Jin Xiaolou did not seem to object and was overjoyed.

If she became the mother of the Lin'er, she would be the shopkeeper's relative. She would naturally be incomparable to the other girls, so what would happen to her in the future?

However, just as Jin Xiaolou reached the door, she said: ”If you treat Lin'er sincerely, then I, Jin Xiaolou, will definitely remember this in my heart. If I contain any malicious intentions, I will definitely not let any of you off!”

Then, he pushed the door open and walked out.
