An Jiuyue placed her four children down and chased after the Chief and Junior Officer into the village. She took out two pieces of paper from her pocket and handed them to them.
“My mother used to study medicine. I know that epidemics will occur after the flood if you don’t take precautionary steps. Hence, I wrote down some things to take note of.
“Please inform all the households to be mindful of hygiene, food, and lodging. Make sure everything is clean and tidy. Most importantly, you must not eat the meat that has been submerged in the floodwaters.
“The flood has already severely affected the people. It would be terrible if an epidemic occurs. Risking contracting diseases for a piece of meat is not worth it.
“In fact, grassroots and tree barks on the mountain will be much better than those soaked meat.”
Although her words were not very nice, they were very honest.
Aunt Kang, who was with the Chief when she heard An Jiuyue’s words, was unhappy and snapped instantly.
“You are trying to deceive us again, you b*tch! Who will believe you? We wouldn’t have suffered like this if you hadn’t jinxed us last time. You— Ah!”
However, before she could finish her sentence, her husband slapped her.

“Shut up!” the Chief shouted with a long face.

Is an epidemic a small matter? Many people in other regions have contracted diseases after floods, and our village is no exception. Many people have died in the past.
Everything will be fine if we are cautious from the beginning.
“Thank you, Jiuyue. I will definitely tell everyone to follow what is written on this paper. Let’s aim to… not face an epidemic.”
The epidemic could be cured, but it would be difficult to do so. The royal court might not ignore them now, but they would not care about the lives of commoners like them if the epidemic persisted.
The villagers have to rely on themselves.
“Let’s go. Let’s go quickly.”
The Chief dragged his embarrassing wife along, and the two of them left with their grandchildren.
“Jiuyue, can you take care of the four children alone?” the Junior Officer asked worriedly.
She had only two children initially. Now, she had two more. He was afraid that An Jiuyue would not be able to cope alone.
However, everyone was in chaos. No one else could take care of the two new children. They had to leave her to it alone.
The two children were also lucky to have such a good adoptive mother.
“I’ll be fine, Uncle and Aunt Ju. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of them.” An Jiuyue smiled.
Someone as smart as her would not have difficulty taking good care of the children.
Moreover, the two children had mild personalities. Besides eating and sleeping, they rarely woke up during the past nine days. Whenever they did wake up, they lay in bed quietly.
Zheng’er and Rong’er were also fond of them and were happy to take care of them.
She was already raising sons, there was not much difference anyway.
Rather, she was most reassured by the fact that Qian Jiyun and the others had left. She no longer had to worry about seeing them again.
