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

Old Liang, exasperated by the mother and son's nagging, sighed.

"But you can't stay here forever, you have to be discharged. How about this, I know a doctor who can cure any disease. There was a 90-year-old patient who was on the verge of death, and this doctor pulled him back from the brink."

He recounted Su Wanqing's legendary story, saying, "You should also inquire about it. If you think it's reliable, come find me, and I'll give you the address."

Commander Li and his mother immediately went to inquire about Su Wanqing.

They asked several patients who had been treated by Su Wanqing, and they all spoke highly of her. The mother and son's eyes lit up—this doctor is truly a miracle worker!

That afternoon, they went to ask Mr. Liang for his address.

Old Liang cautioned, "However, they are currently in the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and it will take them three days by train."

Without a second thought, Li's mother, Aunt Xie, exclaimed, "I'm not afraid! I'll do anything to cure this illness and stop this torment! I can't eat or sleep properly, my heart aches, my whole body aches, and I've seen so many doctors but nothing works. I'll do anything to get better!"

When her illness flared up, it was like an epileptic seizure; she couldn't breathe, she felt like she was suffocating. She trembled all over, terrified, constantly feeling like she was going to die. Her heart ached terribly, her whole body ached, it felt like she was in hell.

After years of torment, he's barely recognizable as a human being.

Commander Li was heartbroken and decided to bring two doctors on the train this time, just in case.

Old Liang wrote the letter of recommendation and told them to take it to the person in question. The mother and son bought train tickets that very day and headed to Xinjiang.

……

Su Wanqing was unaware that someone had traveled a long way to find her.

That night, she and Zhou Yanshen snuggled together on the kang (a heated brick bed) in a tender moment. They both initially said they didn't want to, but then Su Wanqing thought about it—her pregnancy hormones were at their peak, so she still needed to nourish herself a bit, lest she feel uncomfortable if Zhou Yanshen was away for too long.

Initially, Su Wanqing scoffed at these things and didn't understand why men were always so obsessed with them.

But having a super handsome man like Zhou Yanshen, with a great physique and stunning looks, lying next to you, and being good in bed... good at everything...

It's hard not to get hooked on it.

She rolled over and pressed herself against him, her fingertips slowly tracing down his chest, causing Zhou Yan's breathing to become erratic.

He grabbed her wrist and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you sure?"

Zhou Yanshen originally planned to just hold his wife while sleeping today, but after being gently touched by her, he couldn't control himself at all.

Su Wanqing didn't say anything, but simply lowered her head and kissed him.

Zhou Yanshen groaned, rolled over and shielded her beneath him, his movements so gentle it was as if he were afraid of breaking something.

He kissed her brows and eyes, the corners of her lips, and her slightly protruding belly, every inch filled with the reluctance of impending separation. Su Wanqing, aroused by his caresses, hooked her arms around his neck and pulled him down, letting out a soft laugh: "Hurry up, stop dawdling..."

So it was done.

But just as things were getting halfway through, the door was banged on loudly. Zhou Yanshen stumbled, almost losing his life on the spot. Both of them were startled—this sudden outburst in the middle of the night.

Zhou Yanshen didn't put on any clothes himself, but first dressed Su Wanqing and wrapped her tightly in the blanket. He then quickly put on his coat and pants before opening the door.

It was Gu Yuan who arrived, his voice trembling: "Yan Shen, your mother fell while using the restroom and is now unconscious. I see there's a lot of blood on the back of her head..."

Zhou Yanshen frowned: "Don't touch her yet, I'll go ask Wanqing."

Gu Yuan quickly said, "I know, I know. I can't move her in this situation. I've covered her with a blanket and I'll come find you right away. She's only been gone for three minutes, it's not a long time."

Zhou Yanshen turned and went back into the house. Before he could speak, Su Wanqing had already heard him. She put on her clothes and thick cotton-padded coat, picked up her medical kit, and went outside: "Don't touch anyone yet, I'll go check on them."

She thought to herself, "This is really strange. Is it really impossible to escape fate?"

In the original text, Zhou's mother fell down and died late at night.

In the original story, she lived alone, but this time Gu Yuan was there. When she realized he hadn't returned for a while, she went out to look for him and inadvertently saved his life. Zhou's mother certainly never imagined that in this life, finding a man would save her life.

When they arrived, Zhou's mother was lying in the snow, with a small patch of blood on the ground.

Su Wanqing squatted down, touched the area, checked the pupils, and then took out a silver needle to prick several spots. A short while later, Zhou's mother slowly woke up, still groggy.

Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a big problem. He bumped into a rock, broke his skin, and only needs a few stitches. Luckily, we found out early. The injury itself is fine, but I was afraid he might have been unconscious outside all night."

The original text suggests they froze to death.

She quickly applied the anesthesia and stitched it up in a few moments. Before Zhou's mother could even figure out what was happening, Gu Yuan carried her back to sleep.

Gu Yuan and Zhou Yanshen both breathed a sigh of relief.

If Su Wanqing says she's fine, then she really is fine.

In her eyes, as long as she didn't die, it wasn't a big deal. Zhou's mother was indeed a little weak, but she would be fine after a few days of rest.

That was the end of it. Everyone thought that Zhou's mother had just fallen and hit her head, but only Su Wanqing knew that Zhou's mother had changed her fate and escaped with her life.

Back in the house, Zhou Yanshen and Su Wanqing even finished what they hadn't done yet.

However, the process was interrupted, and it was difficult to return to the previous state of mind. In short, both of them were looking for a quick release and to finish as soon as possible, which was more like a physical release.

The next day, Su Wanqing woke up naturally.

Gu Yuan prepared breakfast, and Zhou's mother also came over in a daze. Her head was wrapped in gauze, but she still had the energy to sit down and eat.

"Ouch, my head hurts a little." She touched her head. "Who bandaged it for me? Gu Yuan said I fell last night?"

Zhou Yanshen glanced at her and, seeing that she seemed to be in good spirits, felt relieved.

Uncle Ding became increasingly displeased: "How old is he? How could he fall and hurt himself like this while going to the toilet?"

Zhou's mother pursed her lips: "It's all thanks to Gu Yuan that I found him. He knew I hadn't come back and came out to look for me. Otherwise, with all of you, if you found me the next day, I'd probably be a cold corpse. Besides, if I were still living here, I'd have my own toilet. How could I have fallen? In the end, isn't it all your fault?"

Zhou's mother had one great virtue—she never engaged in internal strife, always resorting to external tactics. If anything went wrong, it was always someone else's fault.

Her rambling actually downplayed the fact that Zhou Yanshen was leaving.

After finishing their meal, Zhou Yanshen started packing, carrying large and small bags, his body brimming with belongings. Su Wanqing had even brought him two jugs of sweet soy milk.

"Alright, Wanqing, don't bother seeing me off anymore." Zhou Yanshen was really at his wit's end, otherwise he really wanted to hug her. "I'll come back to pick you up in half a month at the earliest, or a month at the latest."

He had made up his mind. After reporting for duty, he would first find Dr. Liang, a cardiology expert in Fengcheng, and ask him to help him get Wanqing hired to return to the city through the People's Hospital or the Bincheng Military Region General Hospital. After all, Dr. Liang really liked Wanqing, and then Wanqing would not be returning to the city as a family member of a Sui soldier.

However, he first had to ask Old Liang if it was feasible, and then ask his young wife's opinion. If his young wife did not want to return to the city under this identity, he had several other options.
