Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Chen Zhen thought that his visit was just a normal expression of concern.

But Xiao Re picked up Chen Dabao's foot and carefully touched and kneaded it, little by little, as if she were examining some delicate object.

Suddenly, she twisted her wrist and exerted a sharp force. With a cracking sound, Chen Dabao's previously twisted and deformed ankle suddenly straightened.

The movement was so fast that Chen Dabao didn't even have time to cry out in pain before he suddenly burst into laughter through his tears.

"Hey! It doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Dad, my foot doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Wow, amazing! Sister, do you have some kind of magic? My foot is healed. It doesn't hurt at all anymore."

Xiao Re tore a strip of fabric from her new dress, neatly wrapped it around his feet a few times, and then tied a pretty knot.

"Get up and walk around a bit to see!"

Chen Dabao took slow, tentative steps. At first, he was a little hesitant, but he walked more and more smoothly, almost exactly the same as before his injury, without feeling any pain at all.

He was about to jump around a few times to prove that he was really cured, but Xiao stopped him.

"Stop, slow down, don't jump. Your bones have just been straightened, they're very fragile. Be careful when you walk these days, don't fall or twist them."

"Don't remove this bandage. Leave it on for two days; it will provide protection and aid in recovery."

When Chen Zhen saw that his son was lively and energetic and could walk again, he was immediately moved to tears of gratitude by Xiao Re.

"Comrade Xiao, thank you so much. I truly appreciate it; I never knew you knew medicine. It's all thanks to you, otherwise my son's foot would have caused him so much trouble!"

"I will definitely prepare a generous gift another day to express my gratitude to you in person."

Xiao Re remained calm and composed, unperturbed by honor or disgrace, his expression still indifferent.

"I wouldn't call myself a medical expert; I just learned a little bit of bone-setting from my father, and it just so happens that I'm using it. No need to be so polite."

Xiao Re was far from just a smattering of knowledge; her medical skills were far superior to Xiao Chengji's.

However, because people's hearts are complicated, she simply didn't want to pursue a career as a doctor.

My father was kind-hearted and treated many poor patients for free. For those who were particularly poor, he didn't even ask them to pay for the medicine.

In the end, some ungrateful people still called my father a quack doctor, saying he only didn't charge money to gain fame and reputation. They said that after taking his medicine, their illnesses didn't improve; in fact, they got worse. What kind of saving people was that? It was clearly harming them.

From that moment on, Xiao Re made up her mind never to become a doctor again. She wasn't like her father, a kind-hearted man who used his own medicinal herbs to treat them for free, only to end up with a reputation as a heartless doctor.

She didn't have her father's good temper either. Facing a bunch of vampires, she believed them and pretended to be poor to gain sympathy, letting them take advantage of her kindness and treat her like a fool, giving everything for nothing.

She doesn't like to suffer losses, nor does she like to be a pushover without expecting anything in return.

Her way of dealing with people is to be clear about gratitude and resentment, to settle accounts promptly, and to be indifferent to what you owe me and what I owe you.

"Chief of Staff Chen, there's no need for your special thanks. I charge a fee for my services. According to the going rate in our town, a bone-setting session costs ten yuan."

"Who will give it to you?"

Just as Chen Zhen was about to take out his money, Deng Ke immediately pulled out ten yuan from his pocket and respectfully handed it over.

"I'll pay, I'll pay. My mother injured the child, so I should pay for the medical treatment."

Compared to going to the hospital, where all the tests and treatments would cost at least a hundred yuan, this ten-yuan solution is incredibly cost-effective.

Xiao accepted the money calmly, saying with a half-smile.

"Originally, it was ten yuan. But since we're neighbors in the same compound, I'll give you a discount and charge you nine yuan and ninety cents."

"So that your family won't say I'm stingy or accuse me of making money unscrupulously."

Xiao Re's mouth is truly sharp and venomous.

She said there was a discount, but she only gave a 10-cent discount. That's practically a slap in the face.

She also rummaged through her pockets and found she had no money. She then rummaged through Lu Yanzheng's pockets again and finally pulled out a dime, which she handed over.

"Here's your change! Please keep it safe!"

"By the way, Chief of Staff Chen. I promised your son I'd let her ride in the dog cart tomorrow, and I can't go back on my word. But remember to give me the one yuan fare."

Through this incident, everyone finally saw Xiao Re for who he really was.

You'd think she was generous, but she wouldn't even accept a single dollar. She even deliberately gave a ten-cent discount.

You might say she's stingy, but she tore up her new dress without even blinking an eye.

Such a high-quality silk cotton dress would cost at least twenty or thirty yuan. All things considered, she didn't earn a single penny; in fact, she lost money.

Chen Zhen smiled and quickly took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it over.

"Here you go, Comrade Xiao, this is for the fare. I still want to thank you, but you can't accept this as a token of my gratitude. Consider it a favor I owe you."

Standing in the crowd, Lu Yanzheng looked at Xiao Re's radiant appearance, feeling both proud and complicated.

It turns out she really does know medicine, but I didn't believe her before.

When He Yingying had a fever and when she fainted from hunger, she offered to help, but instead of believing her, she scolded her.

Thinking back to what I said back then, I was such an idiot!

Lu Yanzheng quickly stepped forward, gently took Xiao Re's hand, and said tenderly.

"Honey, are you hungry? Come on, let's go home for dinner!"

Xiao Re didn't want to go with him. Yang Erni was a great cook, and her cooking was even better than that of the chefs in restaurants.

"No. I want to go back to the pigsty. Erni said she'd make me spicy pig's trotters today. It's my favorite!"

Lu Yanzheng's face darkened, and he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

This woman, she's really picky. Can Yang Erni's cooking even compare to his?

"Pigsty, pigsty, you just stay cooped up in your pigsty all day. Do you even remember which direction your house is in? Do you even remember you have a husband?"

Lu Yanzheng's words were both sarcastic and bitter, which even Chen Zhen found amusing.

"Hey Commander Lu, why don't you just move in with your wife and sleep in that pigsty too!"

Lu Yanzheng did indeed have this idea. Now this woman spends all her time in the pigsty. She eats all three meals there and doesn't need him to take care of her at all.

If he hadn't personally gone to drag people away every night, his wife would have almost become Yang Erni's wife.

"Xiao Re, I told you to go home, did you hear me?"

"I heard you!" Xiao Re shook off his hand and continued rushing towards the farm.

"I still have a roller skate bike that I haven't finished making. I'll be back later. You don't need to wait for me."

What's the point of going home alone? Just to rub the blankets in front of an empty bed?

That's so empty.

Lu Yanzheng shamelessly followed him. "I'll do it for you!"

"No need, you do your thing. If you're really bored, go help He Yingying sell her goods."

Xiao Re was genuinely disgusted.

The man followed her around, his mind filled with indecent thoughts.

Aside from kissing and hugging and pestering me to do chores, I can't help at all and just waste time.

In the time it takes to sleep with him, she can finish making her millstone and spinning wheel.

Lu Yanzheng looked resentful, like a baby who couldn't get candy, clinging to Xiao Re and refusing to let go.

"Honey, can we go home early today? I have an urgent business trip tomorrow, and I have to leave at 1 a.m."

"Let's go to bed early!"
