Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

She didn't directly try to mediate the argument, nor did she try to determine who was right or wrong in their dispute. Instead, she gave Chen Xiuer a strong sense of security: even if they got divorced, Chen Xiuer would still have a place to live and opportunities to work and earn money.

This is practically building a bridge to a new life for Chen Xiuer, who was in dire straits!

The crowd immediately began to buzz with discussion:

"My goodness! Is that the new red brick building Dr. Su was talking about? So many people are eyeing those spots!"

"That's right! Eight work points a day, plus an extra three cents! That's like doing the work of two people and getting paid for almost two people!"

"This job is incredibly hard to find! Has Chen Xiuer actually turned misfortune into good fortune?"

Chen Xiuer was both surprised and delighted, and could hardly believe her ears!

She looked at Su Wanqing with teary eyes, never expecting that in her most helpless moment, it would be this young doctor, whom she had always somewhat respected, who so easily solved her biggest problem and gave her a way out!

Su Wanqing was willing to help Chen Xiuer for one reason...

Before Jiang Weiwei arrived, she and Secretary Li discussed that they really needed a reliable person to help take care of the planting site. Chen Xiuer was hardworking, a former educated youth, and had some education, so she was quite suitable.

As for her not being able to secure a spot at a planting site? That's not a consideration. If she can't beat Jiang Weiwei even with cheat codes, she might as well not live.

On the other hand, she had previously saved Chen Xiuer and her son's lives, and the merit and number of times Chen Xiuer infused the spirit also proved the value of this good deed.

In her view, helping Chen Xiuer now is not only rescuing her from danger, but also a kind of investment.

In this day and age, having another business legend who is genuinely grateful to himself, capable, and reliable, is definitely not a bad thing for her to invest in him in advance.

Who can guarantee that their life will always be smooth sailing?

Su Wanqing patted Chen Xiuer's arm again, "Put the knife away. It's not worth risking yourself for people and things like this. Go back and have a good talk with your family. Don't do anything that violates discipline or the law."

Chen Xiuer's tears instantly welled up. She nodded heavily, "Thank you, Dr. Su! I, Chen Xiuer, will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

She would never forget that when she was at her darkest and most hopeless moment, it was Su Wanqing who casually reached out and pulled her out of the mire.

When she turned her head again, she wiped away her tears and threw the kitchen knife on the ground with a clatter. Her whole demeanor changed.

When she looked at Zhao Shupi and Granny Sun again, her previous madness and despair were gone, replaced by a calmness that came from having confidence and a way out.

"Mom, Tree Bark, let's go home and have a good talk. Today, if you give my mother the grain and meat she needs without hesitation, so she can go back in style, everything will be fine. If you don't..."

She paused, then clearly uttered two words:

"divorce."

Chen Xiuer had completely given up hope on Zhao Shupi. This man was the good man and honest man that everyone talked about, but in reality, he used his mother as a knife and hid behind her, pretending to be an obedient and honest person who had to compromise!

He's a beneficiary of the system, so naturally he has to listen to his mother!

She's determined to get a divorce!

But not now. She needs time to build up her strength. At least she needs to stand firm and have independent economic power before kicking this seemingly weak and incompetent but actually cunning man away!

Grandma Sun couldn't believe that Chen Xiuer actually dared to divorce him, and even had the audacity to say she would give away all the meat and grain. She immediately screamed, "Divorce! Son! Divorce her! I don't believe she would actually dare to divorce with a child in tow! I bet she'll end up badly after leaving our family, bearing the stigma of a divorced woman!"

Zhao Shupi panicked and grabbed his mother, saying, "Mom! Can't you wish for things to be better between me and Xiuer? All you talk about is divorce! Who am I supposed to go to after the divorce?"

He turned his head and grinned, "Xiuer, the baby is hungry and needs milk. Let's go home. Stop making a fuss, okay? I'll pack all the meat and grain for your mother in a bit, I promise she'll be satisfied! We won't get a divorce, let's live a good life together!" He reverted to his seemingly honest and simple demeanor.

When he heard that Su Wanqing was going to arrange a job for Chen Xiuer that would pay eight work points a day, plus a three-cent subsidy, and allow her to live in a brick house, his mind immediately started calculating!

This marriage absolutely cannot end in divorce!

What is Dr. Su's status in the group now? Even Secretary Li treats her with utmost respect! If their daughter-in-law gets involved with Dr. Su, how could the Zhao family not benefit in the future?

"Then let's go back." Chen Xiuer's lips curled into a mocking smile. See? This man, who usually seems to obey his mother's every command, changes his tune faster than flipping through a book when his own interests are at stake.

Grandma Sun got up from the ground, cursing and swearing. Since her son had spoken, she couldn't make a scene anymore. She could only glare at Chen Xiuer resentfully and then walk back.

Liu Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief and gave Su Wanqing a thumbs up, "Dr. Su, you really have a way with things; you grasped the key point right away."

Su Wanqing smiled and said calmly, "I just feel that Xiuer has just given birth and is vulnerable both physically and mentally. She needs to be treated kindly, not driven to the brink. I'll help her if I can."

After the excitement subsided, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Su Wanqing and Zhou Yanshen returned to their brick house to prepare for dinner. The dishes Su Wanqing had prepared were incredibly delicious: the turtle soup was fragrant, the meat looked appealing, and the steamed buns were plump and white, making everyone's mouths water.

Lin Tingting had been waiting impatiently for a while. Sitting at the table, she complained in a low voice, "What's so interesting about those shrewish women fighting? Sister-in-law, you have time to watch the show, why don't you think about checking Uncle's leg first?"

Zhou's mother, who was holding a bowl, paused for a moment upon hearing this. "Wanqing, didn't you take your eldest uncle to the clinic this afternoon? Didn't you take him to get his leg checked?"

Lin Tingting immediately chimed in, "That's right! He probably found it too much trouble and left my uncle at the clinic all afternoon! When I came back, I saw him crawling to the toilet and almost fell in! He then struggled to crawl back, it was really...tsk tsk, it was heartbreaking to watch!"

Su Wanqing clenched her fist, and her knuckles made a slight "click" sound.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Tingting suddenly remembered the slap she had received earlier and immediately shut her mouth. She had almost forgotten that Su Wanqing actually dared to hit someone!

"Tingting! How dare you speak like that?!" Uncle Ding laboriously wheeled himself in, his face displeased. "Comrade Su has been busy with important matters all afternoon! Treating the wounds of dozens of people injured by wild boars, he's been working non-stop! My old, crippled legs aren't in a hurry! Stop stirring up trouble here! Quickly apologize to Comrade Su! I can't stand this kind of distortion of the facts!"
