An Ning uttered a word of thanks, then slumped onto Lin Cuihua's back with no strength left.
Jiang Xia stood beside Lin Cuihua, ready to lend a hand at a moment's notice.
Her sister-in-law, who was resting at home during her pregnancy, stood by with a worried look on her face, but she didn't dare to step in.
"I don't need your help. I can carry her."
After Lin Cuihua said this to her sister-in-law, Zhou Guifen, the latter hurried ahead to open the door and lay out the bedding on the kang.
Lin Cuihua was used to manual labor and had plenty of brute strength.
She carried An Ning into the house on her back. Jiang Xia stopped at the doorway, not going any further inside, instead calling into the room, "Auntie, should I go call Uncle Sancheng and the others back?"
"Yes, please. Thank you for the trouble, Jiang Xia."
"It's no trouble."
Jiang Xia strode out and patted the roof of the car, which then drove away.
Jiang Xia, meanwhile, ran off in another direction.
