CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 386: WHAT’S ALL THIS ABOUT!

Is this something a master should say?

What do you mean by saying she should sleep with Lin Qingchen?

Not to mention she has already registered her marriage with Gu Beihuai, even if she were not married, wouldn’t it be unethical to cheat during marriage?

She still maintains a strong moral backbone.

Seeing Tang Chuxia’s astonished expression, Elder Huang laughed even harder.

"Do you genuinely not know about the matters of the Taoist sect?"

Elder Huang sighed, and Tang Chuxia suddenly grasped the key point.

What matter of the Taoist sect?

Her eyes sparkled as she attentively looked at Elder Huang.

Elder Huang didn’t hide it from her and directly said, "In the Taoist sect, a successor is needed, and often, the people they look for are descendants of powerful individuals within the sect!"

Tang Chuxia realized, "So, you mean to say that Lin Qingchen is the most favored successor of the Taoist sect, and to maintain the sect’s glory, they want Lin Qingchen to have a child to ensure the continuation of the Taoist lineage?"

At least that’s one possibility.

Elder Huang nodded, "This is the most conservative view!"

The most likely scenario is they want to ensure the exceptional genes of the Taoist do not disappear.

Most Taoists do not marry or have children, although there are exceptions, and Lin Qingchen’s sect does not restrict these.

"But I really don’t want to sleep with Lin Qingchen!" Tang Chuxia shrugged her shoulders; although she admired Lin Qingchen’s looks, she only desired Gu Beihuai.

That boundary still exists.

Elder Huang chuckled, "The young man from the Gu Family is indeed fortunate, but remember, after you have a child, try to keep the Taoists from getting too close!"

It wouldn’t be good if they tried to take the child.

With Tang Chuxia’s capabilities, people within the Taoist sect are definitely watching.

They originally thought Lin Qingchen’s beauty trap would surely be effective, but they never expected it wouldn’t work at all, and instead, Tang Chuxia ended up getting married.

To these people, marriage isn’t a big deal; having a child is what matters.

If Tang Chuxia could have a child with Lin Qingchen, that would be excellent, but sadly she isn’t interested at all.

The critical point is that Tang Chuxia’s moral baseline is very high.

Even Elder Huang has been invited to mediate, which shows how powerful the people from the Taoist sect are.

"Don’t worry, although the people from the Taoist sect have helped me a lot, whether my child wants to be a Taoist or not is not for me to decide!"

If someone is willing to raise her child, she finds that to be quite good.

Of course, the prerequisite is that she can have a child.

These are matters for the future, and Tang Chuxia does not wish to think so far ahead.

What needs to be done now is the matter of the epidemic.

After some idle talk, Elder Huang was somewhat tired, and after Tang Chuxia helped him massage and relax his muscles, he went to rest. Tang Chuxia passed the meticulously copied prescriptions to her senior brothers, who naturally had ways to procure the herbs. This way they could prevent disease as soon as any patient appeared.

Everyone was very nervous, fearing that things would develop beyond their expectations.

Tang Chuxia felt something was not quite right.

She always felt that this flood, followed by the epidemic, seemed just like an appetizer.

Such cold weather accompanying a flood was problematic in itself.

But she could never have expected that the flood would suddenly increase greatly on this day, just when it had seemed like the floodwaters were starting to recede, which terrified everyone to the extreme.

Tang Chuxia stood on the hospital rooftop, looking around and seeing many areas submerged in water.

Fortunately, the rising floodwaters soon stopped and began to recede.

If not for keeping constant watch, Tang Chuxia would hardly believe it.

It seemed like the flood was playing around.

It was only found out later that during this period, a dam had burst and submerged a county city, only then did the flood recede.

The flood in Quan City had apparently relied on submerging a county as its price.

It was unclear if that was worth it.

After the flood, not only did it bring all sorts of debris, but there was also thick sludge.

Tang Chuxia and others were extremely busy in the hospital, not just because of the shortage of medicine; beds and doctors were nonstop.

Everyone was working hard.

If not for the current weather which had been a great help, it would be likely that many more people would have infections from festering wounds.

Now, many of the injured were not suffering from festering, but the flood-soaked wounds also posed problems.

Tang Chuxia, an auxiliary staff member, was driven crazy by the workload; later, she was really supported by sheer willpower.

Fortunately, during the night, other medical support teams from different places arrived, and military doctors organized by the army came to take over.

Tang Chuxia collapsed and slept deeply in Mrs. Gu’s dormitory.

If it weren’t for Madam Tang coming over, Tang Chuxia probably would still be asleep.

Madam Tang saw that in just three short days, Tang Chuxia had noticeably lost weight and looked even more exhausted.

"Mom, I really don’t have any problems! You guys go back home!"

Tang Chuxia said, yawning, indicating she was fine, but this could not convince Madam Tang.

"No way, you’re coming home with me!"

Madam Tang had Zheng Duoqing carry Tang Chuxia out; the reason it wasn’t any of the other Tang brothers was that the only one who was home, Tang Jianbing, was out with Tang Jianguo participating in disaster relief.

Zheng Duoqing was a strong man that Madam Tang had pulled into help.

Zheng Duoqing was supposed to be overseeing the factory, fearing that machinery or something might have been water damaged.

"Little sister, you really had foresight!"

Zheng Duoqing carried Tang Chuxia, his face full of admiration.

Before the flood came, Tang Chuxia had gone to the factory and moved the previously finished machines to the rooftop and covered them with plastic cloths.

Such a level of relocation really could only be done by Tang Chuxia.

Although they couldn’t produce anything during this time, there wasn’t much damage, and the previously bought peanuts and melon seeds were all used up.

After distributing the salaries, every worker had made quite a bit.

After the fifteenth, the demand for fried goods wasn’t as high, and they had entered the regular mode of selling goods, Zheng Duoqing wasn’t worried at all because the taste of the fried goods was too good, they could directly supply the supply and marketing cooperative.

This saved them a lot of trouble.

While praising Tang Chuxia, Zheng Duoqing listened as Tang Chuxia yawned and asked him, "Has anything happened at home?"

When it came to household matters, Zheng Duoqing glanced at Madam Tang quietly and told Tang Chuxia, "Your elder brother and your sister-in-law had a fight!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

She wasn’t very surprised, as her sister-in-law and brother had been cold to each other over issues regarding their child. They had reconciled due to the flood, but now they seemed to have started fighting again.

"What was it about this time?"

Tang Chuxia was curious, assuming her brother had admitted his fault and wouldn’t continue to harp on it.

Zheng Duoqing sighed, "The little guy got sick, and your sister-in-law insisted on finding a divine woman, then your brother got angry!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

At this time, would one rather believe in a divine woman than a doctor?

"How is the little guy?"

Zheng Duoqing pointed at Madam Tang, "Aunt saw they were fighting too fiercely, so she sent the child away!"

Tang Chuxia: ...
