My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 112

At night, the rain suddenly started to pour down.

That was how the weather was like over there. The rain poured down without a warning even though it was bright and sunny in the afternoon.

Although they were shielded by the wooden cabin, they were not protected from the mosquitos so Ning Ran set up a mosquito net around the bed so that her precious kids could sleep well inside it.

The mosquitos there were extraordinarily big and had weird marks grown on their wings. A person could be stung even if he/she had a jacket on, and the boils caused by those mosquitoes’’ bites were huge.

The next morning, quite a few of them were swollen all over their body and face and was itching and hurting at the same time.

Nan Chen and Dabao got together again to have a discussion.

Ning Ran was curious about what could the two ‘ice blocks’ be talking about so she tiptoed over again to eavesdrop on them.

“That plant can only treat snake poisons. Mosquito bites and snake poisons are different, and different remedies are used to treat different snakes’ poisons,” explained Nan Chen.

“But we can give it a try,” said Dabao.

“No, we can’t do that,” argued Nan Chen, “what if there are side effects?”

“I don’t think there’ll be any side effects. Those mosquitos may be carriers of diseases because the boils they cause were extraordinarily big. It may be dangerous if we don’t treat it quickly,” said Dabao as he frowned.

Nan Chen was also frowning.

The same expression, the same frown, the same amount of stubbornness lit up on both the kid’s and the adult’s face.

“It’s dangerous to use it too because the side effects may be fatal,” said Nan Chen.

“I don’t think so,” insisted Dabao.

“Any basis for that statement?” asked Nan Chen.

“I think I remember that it can cure contagious diseases, but I’m not certain.”

“If you’re not certain, then it’s best not to try.”

“Mommy?” Dabao realized that Ning Ran was eavesdropping on them.

Ning Ran cleared her throat awkwardly and asked, “What are you two talking about?”

“The Hedy Otis diffusa,” replied Dabao.

“Oh, the plant that could cure diseases?” said Ning Ran who was pretending to be knowledgeable.

“Mommy knows about it too?” said Dabao who was pleasantly surprised.

“Uhh,” said Ning Ran nervously, “A little.”

“Mommy, do you remember if this plant can cure contagious diseases as well as snake’s poison?” asked Dabao whose face was filled with anticipation.

“Uh…. I think so?” said Ning Ran who was even more nervous.

Nan Chen’s sharp eyes scanned Ning Ran’s face to figure her out.

Ning Ran pretended to be calm as she thought I shouldn’t have chimed in. Darn it, why did I act like a knowledgeable woman when I’m just in fact a no brainer?

“So you agree that we should use it to cure the mosquito bites?” asked Nan Chen.

“Uh… About that… I’m not really sure. I think the two of you should decide that,” said Ning Ran who then turned to flee.

Nan Chen was confused about why Ning Ran ran away.

“Mommy is shy around you, Third Uncle,” Dabao explained in his mommy’s place.

Nan Chen got even more confused. That woman is even more shameless than a tree that steals all the nutrients from the soil and leaves nothing for its brethren.

“Third Uncle, that’s two votes from mommy and me, and one vote from you so we won,” declared Dabao.

“Is it? But she never explicitly said anything,” said Nan Chen, “I think she was lying about knowing anything.”

Dabao thought I also think that she was lying.

At that moment, Qiao Zhan approached them and said, “Mr. Nan Chen, some of the guys are feeling unwell. It looks like they have contracted a tropical disease but we don’t have any medicine. What do we do?”

Nan Chen and Dabao turned to one another.

It was obvious that Dabao was right when he said that the mosquitos were the carriers of disease because the symptoms had started to show.
