Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 134 Weird
After coming out of the dance studio, Su Yaoguang was in a good mood.

Zhou Wangshu saw that she was in a good mood and had a strange expression on her face.

She lost one hundred taels of silver and a bracelet, why was she so happy?
"Miss Su..." A man in a cloth shirt blocked Su Yaoguang's way, saluted her, and said stiffly, "You are Miss Su from Taoyaofang, right?"

Su Yaoguang looked at the man in front of her doubtfully: "Sorry, you are..."

The man in the cloth shirt saluted again, an uneasy look on his face: "Miss, you don't know me, but I do know you. My name is Zhen Yuanfang, and I'm honored to meet you."

Su Yaoguang's mind conjured up a figure: Zhen Yuanfang in his official uniform. However, when she first met him, he was already an impartial official in the Ministry of Justice, a man of immense dignity, far from his frail self. Now in his early twenties, he had a rosy complexion, fair teeth, and a handsome appearance – a typical handsome young man. When she first met him in her previous life, he already had a beard, imposing without even anger.

Su Yaoguang discovered that many things had changed since her rebirth. In her memory, Jiang Jing and Zhen Yuanfang had both looked easy to bully when they were young.

"What's the matter, Master Zhen?"

"I... am ashamed." Zhen Yuanfang took out a box from the bag he was carrying and said to Su Yaoguang, "This is my family heirloom. I came here to escape famine. When I passed through this place, I found that the local officials loved the people like their own children, and there were many kind merchants in the city who saved the people. The epidemic here is also the least serious of all places. I plan to stay here for a long time. I am willing to become the counter manager of Taoyaofang. I only need 200 coins per month, and food and accommodation will be provided. I have come from afar, and the young lady does not know my background. I voluntarily pledge my family heirloom and will ask you to take it back when I leave to show my sincerity."

"You're really planning something." Zhou Wangshu snorted coldly. "It's hard to find work in this city right now, and it's hard to buy food. Even a successful candidate might not be able to make a living. It sounds like you're at a disadvantage with only 200 wen a month, but actually, providing you with food and shelter already saves you a lot of trouble."

"Yes, I understand. In fact, I have been walking around the city these past few days and accidentally found the girl. She was feeding corn buns to a mother and daughter who had been starving under the eaves for several days. I saw that she was kind-hearted, so I recommended myself."

"I promise you," Su Yaoguang said, "Forget about this heirloom. You can keep it for yourself! I see you look like a scholar. You should have some achievements, right?"

"I am currently a juren, but I have failed the exam many times since then. Please forgive me for making fun of you."

"Mr. Zhen will surely be a rare talent in the future. If you fail once, there will be another chance. Even if you fail several times, there are still chances. You are still young and have plenty of time. Don't be discouraged."

"Thank you for your kind words, young lady. No, Master. Thank you, Master." Zhen Yuanfang bowed again, "I... I have a younger brother, who is ten years old this year..."

"Just bring them along." Su Yaoguang thought that his brother seemed to be a miserable person as well. After she met Zhen Yuanfang, she heard about his story.

He had just passed the imperial examination and was still a minor official. His younger brother had followed him to the capital, and the two brothers depended on each other for many years. Suddenly, one day, his younger brother was favored by a powerful man and forcibly abducted into his family's palace. The boy was also stubborn and would rather die than obey. After assassinating the powerful man, he was hacked to death. From then on, Zhen Yuanfang hated evil and became an iron-faced official in the Ministry of Justice, known as the "King of Hell" of the aristocratic family.

Su Yaoguang 'picked up' such a future big man along the way and changed his itinerary. He originally planned to take Zhou Wangshu back to the academy, but now he took Zhen Yuanfang to the ruined temple to find his brother.

She asked Zhou Wangshu to go back first, but he only gave her an unhappy look. She just thought that the young man's heart was unpredictable and didn't take it seriously. Instead, she chatted and laughed with Zhen Yuanfang, and the two of them had a very happy conversation.

"Please...give me something to eat..."

As soon as we entered the dilapidated temple, a group of people rushed over.

Zhou Wangshu stood in front of Su Yaoguang and said fiercely: "Get away. If you touch her again, I will chop off your hands." Seeing the dangerous look in Zhou Wangshu's eyes, everyone dared not come closer.

Zhen Yuanfang came out carrying a pale and skinny little boy on his back.

Su Yaoguang took a look and said to Zhen Yuanfang, "He looks like he's been hungry for a long time. Don't we at Taoyaofang give out porridge every day? Why don't you take him to get some?"

"Before we came here, he was already sick and couldn't eat. I only fed him a little bit every day, but it didn't help at all."

"When you introduced yourself earlier, you didn't mention that you had a seriously ill brother. Now that everything's settled, this sick brother pops up. You're really cunning."

"I know there's a very good female doctor in Taoyaofang. As long as she can cure my brother, I can use my salary to pay for the medicine." Zhen Yuanfang looked at Su Yaoguang nervously, afraid that she would change her mind.

Su Yaoguang said, "His illness doesn't look like an epidemic. It should be something else. No matter what, we have to save him first. You carry him and follow us. We have to go back and find a doctor quickly."

"Thank you, Boss." Zhen Yuanfang was even more grateful. "Boss, this kindness, I will definitely repay you in my lifetime."

Su Yaoguang and the Zhen brothers hurried back to Taoyaofang. When the strangers appeared, the Zhang sisters and Wang Huanzhi came out to greet them. Su Yaoguang explained the situation to them and then asked Zhang Zhaodi to arrange a room for the Zhen brothers.

They had previously built several rooms as warehouses, and now they have vacated one room, which is just right for the brothers to live in.

"His illness is probably caused by something unclean you ate while traveling, which caused worms to grow in his stomach. This is easy to treat. We just need to expel those worms."

"Thank you, doctor." Zhen Yuanfang said.

"Yaoguang, Wangshu's little face is so covered with ink, are you two having a fight?" Zhang Zhaodi grumbled towards the door.

"Children are just very good-tempered. Just coax them." Su Yaoguang said, "I'll leave this place to you. I'll take him back to the academy. By the way, mother, keep an eye on these two brothers. Although I don't think they're bad people, it's always a good idea to observe them first."

"You and Wangshu should be careful."

Su Yaoguang went out, dragging the whining Zhou Wangshu away.

"I just saw the butcher shop is open. I'll buy some pig intestines and stir-fry them for you. You said your mouth has a bad taste lately, so I'll make you something flavorful."

"You think you're sending me packing for just one dish?" Zhou Wangshu's expression brightened. "You're giving a hundred taels of silver to someone you've never met, and this guy with unknown origins picked it up without a second thought. You even arranged for a doctor for them, and I'm only worth a meal of pig intestines? Well, I'm only worth ten cents after all."

Su Yaoguang: "..."

He actually settled the score after the event!
