Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!
Chapter 116 It's over, Su Wanqing killed someone with her treatment?!
"My dear daughter, please don't refuse! I know you don't lack this little bit of food, but this is the most decent thing we can offer right now! This past month, I know perfectly well who has been good to Xiuer and who lent a helping hand in crucial moments!"
"Tell me, if we turn a blind eye to our savior and instead go and give money to that heartless wretch, would we even be human? If you don't accept it, I'll feel terrible inside, and I won't feel right when I get back! Xiuer told me yesterday that if you hadn't stood up for her and given her confidence, who knows how badly that old hag would have bullied her!"
While they were talking, Chen Xiuer had already neatly hung the braised duck in a ventilated place and put all the dried goods in the kitchen.
Seeing this situation, Su Wanqing thought, "..." Well, she had no choice but to accept it.
"Alright, Aunt Wang, Xiuer, I'll accept your kind offer." Su Wanqing smiled helplessly. "Aunt Wang, please go back to the city with peace of mind. If you need anything in the future, or if you miss Xiuer, just come again. By the way, Xiuer, what happened after yesterday? What was the final word?"
Chen Xiuer snorted, "Anyway, it's all agreed! Not a single pound of food should be less than what's supposed to be given to my mother! I smoked all the wild boar meat we distributed yesterday, and I'm letting my mother take that back too! That way, my brother and sister-in-law won't give my mother a hard time anymore, considering how much stuff I brought back. Sigh, my mother's been here for a month, and I haven't cooked for her eldest grandson at home. I wonder what kind of chaos things have happened at home."
Every family has its own troubles.
Su Wanqing nodded, turned and went back into the house. She took out a bag of fruit candies from her spatial storage and stuffed it into Aunt Wang's hand: "Auntie, take this and bring it back for your grandson to sweeten his mouth. If you don't accept it, then I can't accept these local specialties you brought either."
These fruit candies are a rare find even in the city, let alone in the countryside. Aunt Wang couldn't refuse them and accepted them with a mix of gratitude and joy.
"Dr. Su, then I won't stand on ceremony with you! You saved Xiu'er, and now I only trust you here! From now on, if there's any dirty or tiring work, just let Xiu'er handle it. She may not have any other skills, but she's a very hard worker and a real gem!"
Su Wanqing smiled and agreed, "Okay, I've got it."
Aunt Wang had to catch her train, so she gave Chen Xiuer a few more instructions and left in a hurry. After seeing Aunt Wang off, Su Wanqing saw that the dough had risen enough, so she began to make compressed biscuits.
Su Wanqing rolled the stiff dough into a sheet, pressed it tightly into a block, poked holes in it, and then slowly baked it over low heat until it was dry and hard. She also made several flavors, including sweet, peanut-flavored, and sesame-flavored.
These compressed biscuits made this way can keep you full for half a day with just a small piece, making them perfect for carrying around. By the time she finished making the compressed biscuits, it was almost noon.
Too lazy to cook, she simply took out some meat buns that had been frozen in the well, mixed them with the buns stored in most of the space, heated them up, sliced three salted duck eggs, served them with a dish of pickled vegetables, and that was it.
Just as the food was set on the table, the courtyard gate was pushed open with a bang, and Lin Tingting angrily pushed Uncle Ding back in. She glared at Su Wanqing the moment she entered, her eyes practically spitting fire!
How could she not be angry?!
Early in the morning, before dawn, she was still sleeping on the ground. Last night, her cousin and Su Wanqing hadn't done "that," and she was thinking she could finally get a good night's sleep. But what happened? Her uncle's snoring was as loud as a tractor entering the city, almost killing her.
I tossed and turned until late at night before finally managing to fall asleep.
However, she had only been asleep for a short while when Zhou Yanshen woke her up. He asked why she was up so early when she wasn't working. And guess what her cousin said next?
"Your cousin's wife isn't feeling well today and needs to rest. After you've had breakfast, take your uncle out for a walk; he'd like to see some things too. Remember, don't come back and disturb your cousin's wife's rest before mealtime."
Lin Tingting simply couldn't believe her ears!
Such heartless and biased words actually came from the mouth of her respected cousin! Just so Su Wanqing could sleep in and have some peace and quiet at home, he kicked her and her paralyzed uncle out of the house like trash, leaving them to wander aimlessly outside for most of the day?
Now that I've finally made it back for lunch, I see Su Wanqing, who is indeed resting at home and has a rosy complexion. Her lunch was just a perfunctory affair, with only a few steamed buns and a salted egg.
Lin Tingting stared at Su Wanqing, her resentment and anger rising rapidly—so they deserved to be kicked out into the cold wind, while Su Wanqing was just enjoying herself at home and even slacking off by not cooking properly?!
Uncle Ding was in a good mood. He first told Su Wanqing about the place they had visited that morning: "This place is really nice. You can see snow-capped mountains as soon as you look up, and below are lush green grasslands where sheep graze leisurely. Just looking at it makes you feel cheerful..."
He hadn't finished speaking—
"Bang bang bang!" The courtyard gate was pounded loudly, and then the unlocked door was pushed open. Several people carried in a man with a pale face and groaning in pain!
"Dr. Su! Help!"
"Oh no! Third Brother Ga is dying! He's really going to die this time!"
Su Wanqing had just sat down and taken a bite of her steamed bun when she saw this, so she immediately put it down, got up, and quickly went over.
The one being carried in was none other than the third brother, Ga, who had been the most seriously injured yesterday. He was curled up, occasionally vomiting bloody foam, his breathing weak, and he looked like he was about to die.
Uncle Ding's expression changed drastically; he recognized the man too! Wasn't this the one whose intestines had spilled out yesterday, only to be stuffed back in and sewn back up by Su Wanqing? He seemed perfectly fine yesterday! How could he have turned into this grotesque mess overnight?!
His heart skipped a beat, his first thought being: Oh no! It seems his niece-in-law's medical skills were indeed lacking, and she had delayed the patient's treatment! He knew it; how could such a serious injury be cured so easily? Now, the aftereffects were appearing, and it looked like someone was about to die!
"Hey! Why don't you guys learn your lesson?!" Uncle Ding shouted angrily at the men carrying the body, "It's come to this point, what are you still doing carrying it here? Hurry up! Get it to the county hospital for emergency treatment! What's the point of wasting time here?!"
He was genuinely afraid that if he delayed any longer, he would lose his life!
Su Wanqing frowned. Seeing that Uncle Ding was in the way, and just then seeing Zhou's mother and Zhou Yanshen enter the courtyard, she immediately said to Zhou Yanshen, "Yanshen, push Uncle Ding aside. There are too many people here, so don't crowd him or interfere with the treatment."
"Hey! Don't push me!" Uncle Ding was being pushed backward in his wheelchair by Zhou Yanshen. "I'm saying, stop delaying him! You didn't handle it properly yesterday, and now he's like this, even vomiting blood. How can your little sanitation department handle this? Hurry up and get him to a big hospital to see if he can still be saved!"
