Chapter 84 Freedom
The wheels of the ox cart turned rapidly, and the ox cart carrying the tied-up Zhang Pandi and the coughing Jia Chunni left the village and soon disappeared.

Until they were far away from the village, Su Yaoguang took out a pill from her purse and fed it to Jia Chunni.

"Jing'er said that if you take this medicine, you won't cough anymore. You've been working really hard these past few days. Your throat must be uncomfortable, right?"

Zhang Zhaodi untied the ropes on Zhang Pandyi.

"Before, we were worried that you wouldn't be able to act like a crazy woman, but today really opened our eyes. With your cat-like temperament, you actually dared to do so many crazy things. Now that we've gone far away, you don't have to be afraid of them anymore. Take a break!" Zhang Zhaodi said, "We'll have to tie you up again when we get close to our Anning Village."

Zhang Pandi hugged Zhang Zhaodi's neck and burst into tears.

At this moment, she was not a mother, but a wronged and frightened "child". When facing her most trusted relatives, she took off all her disguises.

Jia Chunni also hugged Su Yaoguang and cried.

"Cousin, am I dreaming? Have I really left the Jia family? Do I really not have to suffer the torture of the Jia family anymore?"

"You're not dreaming. You're awake now. We won't have to endure that pain again." Su Yaoguang patted her on the back and said, "You have yourselves to thank for successfully escaping the Jia family this time. You defeated the coward in your heart and bravely stood up to fight for your freedom in the future. We should celebrate tonight."

Zhang Pandi wiped away her tears, and her dusty face became even dirtier.

"Sister, you don't know how hateful they are," Zhang Pandi said angrily. "Chunni is right. They really are secretly planning to marry Chunni to that old bachelor. Furthermore, they're planning to rent me out as a wife and have me bear children for others. They're planning to marry someone else who can give birth to a son, but they're unwilling to let me go just like that."

"I was wondering how you, with your rabbit-like temperament, could have figured it out. Those few attacks just now really wanted to eat them alive. It turns out it was because of these stimulations."

"Tomorrow we'll go to the city and take your divorce agreement to the government office for registration," Zhang Zhaodi said. "Then your niece will help you and Chunni make good money, and you and your mother will live a good life together."

Zhang Pandi nodded repeatedly.

As the ox cart was about to reach Anning Village, Zhang Zhaodi tied up Zhang Pandyi again, and Jia Chunni continued to play the role of the sickly little girl with a cough.

"Mother Yaoguang, what happened to your second sister and Chunni?"

"Oh, my damn second brother-in-law has no conscience. My second sister and Chunni were sick, but they didn't even call a doctor for them. They wanted to let them die of illness. I couldn't stand it, so I brought them back. That damn man wanted to divorce my sister out of irresponsibility. Of course I refused and insisted that he write a divorce letter. So, he brought my sister back and took good care of her. The man has no conscience, and I, as the eldest sister, can't just ignore my own sister." Zhang Zhaodi said angrily.

"It's all thanks to your kindness! Luckily, she has you as her elder sister, otherwise she wouldn't have survived for many days."

"Who made me her elder sister? I raised these two sisters by myself. Others can ignore them, but as the eldest sister, I can't."

Soon, most of the village knew about Zhang Pandi and Jia Jinshui's divorce. At the same time, the news that Jia Jinshui had abandoned his sick wife and daughter also spread.

Zhang Zhaodi asked Zhang Pandi to pretend to be asleep because she didn't want too many people to be curious about her and come to their house to watch the fun. However, Jia Chunni coughed all the way, and everyone had seen how sick she looked.

Jiang Jing and Zhang Yingdi were waiting at the door.

"Here it comes." Jiang Jing's eyesight was sharp, and she spotted the shadow of the oxcart first. "I saw it too," Zhang Yingdi breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems our plan was successful. I'll go tell my husband the good news."

Zhang Yingdi ran in happily and said to Wang Huanzhi, who was fiddling with flower clay in the room, "Husband, my eldest sister and Yaoguang are back, and they brought back my second sister and Chunni with them."

"Are you relieved now?" Wang Huanzhi said with a smile, "Second sister has left the Jia family. Her hard times are over. Good things will come from now on."

"Yeah." Zhang Yingdi nodded repeatedly, "Us too."

Wang Huanzhi's health is getting better and better. Now, they are working with their elder sister and Yaoguang to earn money, and the future is also promising for them.

A bullock cart drove in.

Jiang Jing closed the gate to block out the furtive glances from outside.

Zhang Zhaodi helped Zhang Pandi inside, and Su Yaoguang helped Jia Chunni in. Once the door was closed, the outside world could no longer see, and the group relaxed.

"The hot water has been prepared a long time ago. My second aunt and cousin have been wronged. Take a shower and rest for a while. I'll call you when the food is ready." Jiang Jing said.

Jia Chunni rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll make dinner."

"You'd better clean yourself up first!" Zhang Zhaodi said, "There are so many people here, and you're not the only one who can cook. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to show off your culinary skills in the future, so there's no need to rush now."

"Listen to your aunt." Zhang Pandi said, "We look too dirty now, let's take a shower first!"

Su Yaoguang carried the bath water into Zhang Pandi and Jia Chunni's room. After the mother and daughter finished bathing, Su Yaoguang went in and out more than a dozen times.

During the meal, everyone felt sad when they saw the mother and daughter wolfing down their food. The questions they wanted to ask became unimportant, and they just let the mother and daughter eat in peace.

"You still can't go out for the next few days. You can only do your dressing in your room. After a few days, you can slowly appear in public and say that your condition has improved. As for who cured you, it was of course our Jing'er. This is a good opportunity to promote our Jing'er's medical skills."

Jiang Jing blushed, "I'm too young, and I've only learned a little bit. No wonder they don't trust me."

"Who said you only know superficial things?" Zhang Zhaodi asked. "I had diarrhea a few days ago. Did you cure it? Did you improve the scar cream I made this time? Yesterday, Aunt Wang from the next village came to see me. She said she didn't believe it at first, so she only bought a trial. To her surprise, the scars on her daughter's face really faded. She came back yesterday and spent a lot of money to buy a large bottle. Now all we need is the trust of our patients, and that can be cultivated."

"Mom, it doesn't matter whether others believe it or not. Anyway, our Jing'er doesn't need to stand out too much in the village, so as not to take away Uncle Lin's business. When we enter the city, we will put up a sign for Jing'er so that she can see patients at will." Su Yaoguang said.

Pa pa pa! Pa pa pa! Anxious knocks were heard from outside.

"Who is it?" Zhang Zhaodi opened the gate impatiently. "Doctor Lin, what's wrong with you?"
