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

Chapter 139 Disaster Relief
Zhou Wangshu sat up and said unhappily, "Where have you been to help the poor and needy again?"

Su Yaoguang put the bought sesame cakes on the stove to bake, and when they started to sizzle with oil, she called him over to eat.

"I just went to the county government office." Su Yaoguang briefly recounted what had happened. "I'll be returning to Taoyaofang soon, and then I'll focus on the tasks assigned to me by the government."

"You've taken on the hottest potato." Zhou Wangshu took a bite of his sesame seed bun. "Contact with those patients is the most troublesome. If you don't take proper precautions, you'll be the ones most likely to get sick."

"Have you forgotten that we have Jing'er? We're doing this to make Jiang Jing famous. This is a crisis, but also an opportunity. Once this crisis is over, everyone in the city will know how good Jiang Jing's medical skills are." Su Yaoguang comforted him, "Besides, I've been eating, living, and sleeping with you these past few days, and you see, aren't you full of energy? This proves that the medicine Jing'er prescribed is effective, and this epidemic can be prevented."

Zhou Wangshu ate the pancake quietly.

Su Yaoguang poured him a glass of water and said, "How about I ask my mother to take care of you? Or my second or third aunt?"

"No." Zhou Wangshu refused instinctively.

He didn't want to eat, live and sleep with them.

If someone else lived under the same roof with him, wouldn't they be extremely uncomfortable?
"Where's my uncle?"

"I don't want anyone." Zhou Wangshu said, "You've been making so much noise these past few days. Once you leave, I'll finally have a few days of peace and quiet. Please stop bothering me."

"So you dislike me so much!" Su Yaoguang pretended to wipe away her tears. "It really hurts my heart."

Zhou Wangshu: “…”

Su Yaoguang gave Zhou Wangshu a few instructions, packed up her things and left.

When Zhou Wangshu escorted Su Yaoguang out, Xiao Yanci was being fed by two women. He looked out the window and saw Su Yaoguang leaving with her bag on her back, and sneered.

"The boss is back." Zhen Yuanfang came to greet him, "Boss, the government has come and taken Miss Jiang away. The ladies were worried and went to check on him, but he hasn't come back yet."

Su Yaoguang said, "Don't worry, the government has something to arrange, and I'll be there soon. How is your brother?"

"Miss Jiang examined him last night. He took two doses of herbal medicine and his fever has subsided. He even woke up just now." Zhen Yuanfang said, "I will always remember the kindness shown to us brothers by the boss."

"It's okay."

Not long after Su Yaoguang returned to Taoyaofang, officials came to look for her. She followed them to the place where they kept the sick.

The government actually placed those patients in temples.

Under Jiang Jing's instruction, the monks in the temple took the medicine and covered their mouths and noses. After making all the preparations, they took care of the patients.

"Amitabha..." The abbot stepped forward and chanted the Buddha's name to Su Yaoguang. "The donor was born with resentment, but chose not to return it with resentment. Instead, he gave her hope of life. This act of the donor must be filled with blessings."

Su Yaoguang returned the salute and looked at the abbot seriously, "Master, what do you mean by that?" What does it mean to be born with a sense of malice? In her previous life, she was just an ordinary village girl. Although her father had left home for the border years ago and had never been heard from again, she had been raised by her mother with great difficulty, but she had also grown up to be a kind-hearted person, so she couldn't be said to have been born with a sense of malice. Only in her rebirth, because she died unwillingly, did she naturally carry a sense of malice. She could choose to take revenge on Xiao Yanci, but she felt that he was unworthy of her attention.

Her biggest regret was neglecting her mother and not cherishing the time they had with her. Previously, her thoughts were all on Xiao Yanci, and she missed out on time with her mother. After her rebirth, her heart was filled with love for her mother, and later, she wanted to make up for those regrets, as well as her resentment towards Zhou Wangshu, who had died young in her previous life. Naturally, she no longer harbored any resentment.

When a natural disaster struck, she knew nothing about it in her previous life and had only lived a hard life in the countryside. Now that she was in the city and knew such an event would happen, she naturally wanted to help save more people.

"Donor, you already have the answer in your heart." The abbot chanted the Buddha's name. "By saving a life today, you are also accumulating merit for yourself. Donor, if you have anything to say, just let me know. I will take my leave now."

Su Yaoguang watched the abbot leave.

"Yaoguang..." Jiang Jing waved her hand in front of her, "What are you looking at?"

"How many monks are there here?" Su Yaoguang asked.

"About forty or so!" Jiang Jing said. "I heard from the monks that there were originally only a dozen or so, but this time many refugees arrived, and some couldn't make ends meet anymore, so they simply became monks."

"All monks and patients have to record their information. All their information, such as how long they have been sick, their symptoms, their daily recovery progress, etc., is hung in their rooms."

"You're right. This will make it easier for us to observe. After all, with so many people, things written down in the brain might get confused, but writing on paper won't," Jiang Jing said. "I'll have them do this right away."

"Mother and the others weren't affected, were they?"

"My godmother and the others are so enthusiastic," Jiang Jing said. "She said that this is a merit that cannot be offset by any amount of money donated. She wants to do more good deeds and save more lives so that she can accumulate blessings for you."

Jia Chunni came over and said, "We just counted and there are over a hundred patients now, and more are being brought in along the way. Can this temple accommodate so many people?"

"The Buddha is merciful and cannot bear to see so many people suffer. We'll put them in every available space and bring supplies from the city so they can sleep on the floor," Su Yaoguang said. "If the patients recover, we'll observe them for three days and move them out if there's no problem. I've seen some with mild symptoms who will recover within three days. Before, no one taught them how to take their medicine, but now that they have someone to teach them, they'll recover quickly."

"Yaoguang, do you think that's Wangshu?" Jiang Jing said, pointing to the opposite side.

Su Yaoguang turned around and saw Zhou Wangshu and many other people standing not far away.

She strode over and looked him up and down: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm recovered now, so I can help you with some work." Zhou Wangshu pointed at the people behind him and said, "These are the food and clothes that Zhong Chushan and Chen Buyu sent. I think you probably need them right now."

"Your symptoms have only just eased a little, but they're not completely cured."

Jiang Jing said, "Let me take his pulse!"

Jiang Jing took Zhou Wangshu's pulse and said, "Although he's still a little weak, he's definitely recovered. He just needs to take good care of himself and switch from the usual medication to warming tonics."
