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

Upon seeing Su Wanqing return, Lin Tingting immediately pointed at her excitedly and exclaimed, "Cousin! It's her! It's Su Wanqing!"

Upon hearing this, the woman crossed her arms and sized Su Wanqing up and down, her gaze critical and condescending.

"So you're Su Wanqing, the wife my cousin Zhou Yanshen married? I heard she's obsessed with money and incredibly audacious, even causing a bloody gash in my dad's leg, leaving him completely bedridden?"

Su Wanqing: "?"

She glanced at the strange woman, then looked up to confirm the newly hung "Protected Area" sign on the door. Yes, it was her own home. What was this woman up to, acting like she was accusing her and taking over the reins?

Let her think about it. If I'm not mistaken, it must be Uncle Ding's married daughter. Why would she come? Oh, it sounds like Lin Tingting secretly informed him, and probably even exaggerated, saying that she ruined Uncle Ding's leg, and now they've come to his door to demand an explanation.

Su Wanqing remained calm. "Who is this? Blocking my doorway and yelling like a dog?"

"You sure know how to talk, and you're quite sharp-tongued." Ding Xiaomei raised her chin and sneered. "Don't you know who I am? Why are you pretending to be confused? My father is Ding Yongkang, and my cousin is Zhou Yanshen. Who do you think I am? By seniority, you should call me 'cousin'! You have no manners or upbringing at all. Did all the education you received go to waste?"

Su Wanqing twitched the corner of her mouth. "My politeness is only for reasonable people. As for those who don't understand human language and bark at other people's doors... I usually don't give them a good look either."

Lin Tingting immediately screamed, "Cousin! She called you a dog! How dare she call you that!"

Ding Xiaomei's face darkened: "I'm not deaf! Your cousin-in-law has a really sharp tongue!"

Seeing the two sides arguing, Liu Shuqing stood awkwardly to the side, carrying her suitcase. Judging from their conversation, they seemed to be relatives from Su Wanqing's husband's side?

"Dr. Su, are there guests at this house? Are they relatives? If they cause trouble, should I...?" He clenched his fist, indicating that he would be happy to help if needed. But he was also worried that if they were really relatives, Su Wanqing would be in a difficult position.

Su Wanqing calmly took the box from his hands. "Secretary Liu, thank you for bringing it over. This is a private matter for my family, and I can handle it myself. We can discuss other matters in detail next time."

Liu Shuqing opened his mouth as if to say "Aba aba," and watched as the slender Su Wanqing easily lifted the golden chest—wait, are you really that strong? But he didn't have time to be surprised or shocked; he could only nod and deliberately raise his voice:

"Alright, I'll be going now. Dr. Su, feel free to let me know if you need anything! Our regiment isn't a place where just anyone can come and cause trouble. Anyone who dares to bully you is going against the entire 65th Regiment!" These words were clearly meant for Ding Xiaomei and Lin Tingting.

After Liu Shuqing left, Su Wanqing picked up the box, instantly put the gold inside into her spatial storage, carried the empty box, walked up to Ding Xiaomei, and suddenly grabbed the back of the chair she was sitting on with her other hand and pulled her away sharply!

"Ouch!" Ding Xiaomei was caught off guard and fell hard on her bottom, wincing in pain.

"You...!" Lin Tingting exclaimed in surprise.

Su Wanqing didn't even look at them. Carrying her suitcase and chair, she turned around and went into the courtyard, closing the gate behind her.

"This is outrageous! Come on, let's go inside! I want to see how my cousin manages his wife! She's ruined my dad like this, and she still dares to be so arrogant! Today, as her older cousin, I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

Lin Tingting added fuel to the fire: "Exactly! Cousin, you have no idea how outrageous she is! Uncle is bedridden, and she doesn't take good care of him at all, yet he's like he's been bewitched by her, listening to everything she says! Even when I talk to Aunt, it's no use!"

"Hmph, I think my dad is getting more and more confused."

The two men pushed open the courtyard gate aggressively and followed them inside.

As soon as Su Wanqing entered the main room, she found that there was more than just Uncle Ding. There was also a man in his thirties, wearing a polyester shirt, who was squatting by Uncle Ding's kang (a heated brick bed), massaging his legs with a fawning expression. Zhou's mother was sitting to the side, leisurely eating melon seeds.

"Dad, you're really something. At your age, you insist on coming to this remote Northwest to suffer. Even if you're going to go to the countryside, it would be better if you stayed closer to us so we could take care of you."

Zhou's mother spat out the sunflower seed shells and interjected coolly, "Zhigang, what you're saying is really funny. Before your father went to the countryside, one of you was in the capital, and the other... humph, said you went abroad, but who knows where you've gone off to fool around. Even if you're close by, what can we expect from you?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ding Zhigang's face. "Auntie, I really did go abroad for a research trip! I mean... to learn advanced technologies!"

Zhou's mother curled her lip. "Ha, you can only fool your father and your honest wife. In this day and age, who can just go abroad? If you really went abroad, would a telegram be enough to call you back? I think you're not going abroad, you're going to make a fortune, getting involved in some shady business, aren't you?"

Having lived in Bincheng for a long time, she was well-informed and had heard about her nephew's background.

Ding Zhigang was speechless, not understanding why his aunt kept embarrassing him. He quickly changed the subject:

"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. Tingting said my dad's leg is completely useless now, what are we going to do? Everyone says my dad's getting senile, why didn't you stop him, Aunt? Some random barefoot doctor from the countryside dared to operate on my dad's leg! Aunt, even if she's your daughter-in-law, this can't just be left like this! We have to give her an explanation! Otherwise, otherwise—"

"What else can we do?" Su Wanqing walked in carrying an empty box and a chair, leaned against the door frame, and coldly replied.

Upon seeing Su Wanqing, Ding Zhigang's face immediately hardened into an accusatory expression: "Pay up! You took all that gold from my aunt before, and since you ruined my dad's leg, you're responsible for the rest of his life! You have to take care of my dad until he's old!"

Su Wanqing scoffed, but before she could speak, Uncle Ding slapped her across the face.

"I'll give you a piece of my mind! You're just greedy! Regardless of whether the treatment was bad or not, what, you expect a complete stranger to take care of your father in his old age and see him off in his final days? You, as the son, don't want to take responsibility and just want to dump this burden on someone else? You think you can have all the good things in the world? You take my money, but when it comes to taking care of your father, you find someone else?"

Uncle Ding had originally thought that since he hadn't seen his son and daughter for so long, even if they were disappointing, he could bear with it, after all, he owed them something, but...
