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

The two beehives next to it also needed to be moved. Chuncao didn't care about anything else; she grabbed the beehives and ran to the empty house next door. These days, the lavender was in bloom, and the honey the bees were collecting was all lavender honey—it was precious, and she couldn't let them freeze to death.

……

Uncle Ding was so busy at home that he barely had time to rest.

The snow came so suddenly that all the chickens, sheep, pigs, and even the pregnant mare needed extra hay, feed, and warmth. He was busy running around all by himself, but Qin Xiao was still asleep after drinking too much, and he couldn't get Lin Tingting, that rich young lady, to do anything. What could Qin Xue, a girl, possibly do?

Just as he was in a panic, Gu Yuan ran out of the house, glanced at the heavy snow, and said urgently, "Brother, I have to go to the warehouse to check on Gui Xiang! The snow is too heavy, I'm worried!"

Uncle Ding glared angrily, "What are you looking at! You're a grown man, do you think you can let the snow all melt away? Hurry up, harvest all the vegetables in the field! Harvest as much as you can! I'm going to get the livestock!"

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still obediently picked up the sickle and ran to the vegetable garden.

Everyone was busy, and no one knew that Zhou Yanshen and Su Wanqing were facing a life-or-death situation.

……

Zhao Shupi cursed his bad luck all the way as he trudged towards the farm. The snow was really crazy; it had piled up to half a foot thick in no time.

But as he was cursing, he suddenly laughed.

"Snow is good, snow is good..." he muttered ominously, "With snow this heavy, those people in that car probably won't make it back!"

……

On the tractor.

After Zhou Yanshen finished speaking, the others did not hesitate any longer.

"Xiao Zhou, we'll do as you say! We'll jump if you tell us to!"

"But what about you two?"

"Xiao Su is pregnant... In this heavy snow, what if..."

Zhou Yanshen gritted his teeth, his voice as deep as stone: "You guys jump first, my wife and I... we'll talk about it later." He had only one thought in his mind: even if it cost him his life, he would save his wife and child!

But if Wanqing jumps now, while she is pregnant, it will almost certainly mean her death!

"Okay! We'll come find you after we finish dancing!"

"We're all in the same regiment, we can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

They were barely able to save themselves at that moment, and they really couldn't understand how Dr. Su would survive if the car overturned after the brakes were lost.

"I'm so sorry, Dr. Su!" The group was filled with guilt.

Old Wu was even thinking that even if he became lame after jumping off the vehicle, he would still have to walk back step by step to call for help.

Zhou Yanshen drove the tractor across the intersection. Sure enough, instead of turning onto the road leading to the 65th Regiment, he turned the steering wheel and onto the steep uphill road leading to the 66th Regiment. The speed did slow down a little, but the snow was falling heavier and heavier, the wheels were slipping badly, and the whole vehicle was swaying from side to side, making it even more dangerous than before.

Zhou Yanshen stared intently ahead, and sensing the car slowing down slightly, he immediately shouted, "Jump!"

Although the group was terrified, they all knew this was their last chance. Aunt Zhang closed her eyes and jumped, followed by Li Laowu's wife, Lao Liu's wife, and Wang Zhiqing, who gritted their teeth and jumped as well.

"ah--!"

"Ouch!"

Screams rang out one after another, and they were quickly left behind. The speed wasn't too fast, and there was thick snow on the ground. If you were lucky, you'd get a bruised and swollen face; if you were unlucky, you'd break a leg, but at least you could survive.

Old Wu also jumped in the end, leaving only Su Wanqing and Zhou Yanshen on the tractor.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and grabbed Zhou Yanshen's clothes tightly from behind: "Yanshen, give me your hand."

Zhou Yanshen gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand, and reached out with the other to hold her hand firmly. His hand was icy cold, yet he held it so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Wife, do you believe me?"

Su Wanqing nodded emphatically: "Zhou Yanshen, I believe you. Do you believe me?"

Zhou Yanshen was unusually firm: "I believe you. But now you have to listen to me." He spoke rapidly, but each word was clear: "Immediately wrap all your clothes tightly around yourself, wrap your scarf around the railing several times, and hold on tight! Wed your legs into the gap, and press your whole body against this backrest!"

This is equivalent to giving Su Wanqing a flimsy seatbelt, which is indeed a great help.

A few hundred meters ahead was a hill, which Zhou Yanshen had already planned out.

"There's an uphill hill ahead, I'll just crash into it to bring it to a stop. As long as you stay securely in the back, you should be able to hold on."

This was the solution Zhou Yanshen came up with. As for what would happen to him after crashing into the mountain, he hadn't thought about it.

Everyone else can jump, but my wife can't. She's pregnant with three children. What if she hits her stomach and has a massive hemorrhage? It's freezing cold here, we can't even go to the hospital.

If his wife hadn't been pregnant, she would have jumped by now. He could have easily escaped by driving alone to the foot of the mountain, given his skills. But there are no "ifs."

Anyone can get hurt, but Su Wanqing can't.

That was his lifeline.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved. Zhou Yanshen was risking his life to protect her.

Su Wanqing had already thought of several plans when the brakes failed, but each one would expose the space. Now that it was just the two of them and it was completely dark, they could definitely do it.

Ideally, the space should not be exposed, but it doesn't need to be exposed now.

"Yan Shen, then hold on to me tightly."

"it is good."

Zhou Yanshen had a thousand words in his heart, so much he wanted to say—Wanqing, if something happens to me, take care of yourself; the children will depend on you from now on; watch them grow up for me… But in the end, he didn’t say anything. Saying these things now felt like giving his last words.

He could risk his life to save Su Wanqing, but he couldn't afford to lose his own.

She was pregnant, carrying three unborn children. If he died, what would happen to the children? He had to live; he couldn't let those three little brats call someone else their father.

Zhou Yanshen was determined to survive, even if he was seriously injured. He had already taken off his belt and tied it tightly to the metal frame of his seat to prevent himself from being thrown out and disfigured when the mountain crashed, so that his wife would have to collect his body.

His mind raced, trying to think of all sorts of ways to save himself, but he suddenly realized with a sharp sense that the car was moving much slower than usual. This was not normal!

Zhou Yanshen didn't see that the tractor's rear canopy was piled full of thick soil.

This soil was dug out by Su Wanqing when she dug a well in the summer. Several hundred cubic meters of it had been sitting in her spatial storage, left there because she was too lazy to throw it away. Now, she released it all, compacted it, and piled it in the truck bed, making it heavy and thick. Not only that, but countless burlap sacks stuffed with fatty pork were being towed behind the truck with ropes, like giant drag umbrellas, desperately slowing the truck down.

If the previous tractor was a light, empty shell, this one was a heavy truck hauling over ten tons of cargo, its speed drastically reduced. If there wasn't nowhere else to park it, she could have towed the whole truck to a stop.

Even so, the tractor was too powerful, and when it hit the hill, it made a loud rumbling noise and the whole vehicle overturned!
