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

"Auntie, you're right. And my treatment course will definitely cure you in one to three months. After the treatment, your appetite will improve and your food intake will increase dramatically, all of which is normal."

Injecting spiritual spring water daily can increase the appetite of ordinary people, but now spiritual spring water can help repair and soothe nerves.

Aunt Xie was overjoyed: "Hey, don't even mention three months. We stayed at Bincheng Military Region Hospital for half a year, and then at Fengcheng People's Hospital for three months. In the end, Dr. Liang, the specialist, recommended you to me. So even if it's half a year, we can afford to stay here."

Su Wanqing hesitated for a moment: "But I'll be going back to the city in another month..."

Aunt Xie waved her hand: "Oh, what's the big deal? Which city are you going to? I'll just follow you. Anyway, I'm retired and don't have much to do. My son can come with me too."

Su Wanqing said, "Let's go back to Bincheng."

Aunt Xie's eyes lit up: "Oh, back to Bincheng? Isn't that our hometown? My son is a division commander in the Bincheng Military Region, and we live in the military region's family compound. Where do you live? But Dr. Su, no matter where you live, we'll come with you."

Su Wanqing's eyes widened in disbelief—the family member of a patient she had casually saved was actually Zhou Yanshen's superior? Although he had many teachers and mentors, he was still Zhou Yanshen's superior, wasn't he?

"My husband is going to serve as the commander of the 7th Regiment of the Bincheng Garrison. If nothing unexpected happens, I might also have to go to the military family compound? I'm not too sure about that. I probably haven't been assigned a house yet."

"Oh my! What a coincidence! This is perfect, we've come to the right place!"

Aunt Xie slapped her thigh and grabbed her son, making arrangements. "Son, I don't care about anything else, but if Xiao Su's wife goes back to Bincheng and lives in the military dependents' compound, didn't that deputy division commander next door just move out? That's a good place. You could just assign her family to live next to us. Wouldn't that be so convenient?"

Commander Li hesitated greatly.

This area is inhabited by division commanders and above; it's not a place a regimental commander can enter. And although this place is empty, several deputy division commanders have already expressed interest in moving here…

Aunt Xie shut him down with one sentence: "Son, think about it. If I ever have a relapse or something happens to me, Dr. Su will be living right next door. Wouldn't that be so convenient?"

Besides, if I go back, even though her spouse isn't under your jurisdiction and you're not in the same department, she'll definitely still be living in the military compound. If she's far away, how troublesome would it be for me to go there for treatment every day? If she's assigned to a place near our home, you can go to work during the day. With Dr. Su there, I can just drop by and get my treatment done—how convenient would that be?"

Commander Li remained silent for a while.

Because of his mother's illness, he had been transferred from the front line to his current department in charge of personnel allocation. If his mother recovers this time, and if, as she said, Dr. Su lives nearby, then he can indeed go to work with peace of mind.

Besides, he'll feel more at ease with Dr. Su around from now on.

He was a fair and just man his whole life, and never sought personal gain. This time, he wanted to transfer someone to live near his home... but of course, he couldn't do that for personal gain either.

He thought for a moment, then looked at Su Wanqing and agreed: "Okay, I'll let them know first and reserve the place. If your husband, Comrade Zhou Yanshen, happens to be reporting for duty, I'll have someone allocate the house to him."

Su Wanqing simply couldn't believe that such a good thing could exist in the world.

Seeing her in a daze, Aunt Xie affectionately took Su Wanqing's hand:

"Dr. Su, housing is tight over there right now. If you're a regimental commander returning to the city, even with family members, you'll probably only get a regular tenement building. But if it's the kind of place next door, it's a different story. Not only do they have big houses, but they also have front and back yards. I'm not trying to be mean, but with your belly so big, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the baby."

Don't be so polite with the old lady. You're her savior. My son happens to be in charge of this, and he's not doing anything illegal, so don't worry.

Besides, the area down there is noisy, and many people are very gossipy. They look down on people who come back from the countryside, and who knows what they'll say about you. But don't worry, with your auntie here, I'd like to see who dares to say anything. Once you get there, your auntie will protect you!

Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Alright, Auntie, thank you in advance." Since Auntie Xie insisted on upgrading their accommodations, then so be it. Who wouldn't want to stay in a better place?

Commander Li continued, "By the way, Dr. Su, what do you plan to do after you return to the city? I'd like to recommend you to the Bincheng Military Region General Hospital."

I witnessed your skill and medical expertise yesterday; aside from those who were supposed to die, not a single one of the wounded survived. They desperately need someone like you over there, and with Elder Liang's endorsement, you could easily become a director or something at the military general hospital.”

Aunt Xie added, "The military hospital is right behind our compound, only a little over 100 meters from the back gate. It's very close and convenient for commuting to work."

Su Wanqing touched her increasingly large belly, somewhat hesitant.

This military hospital is undoubtedly the best place for her to give birth, but she doesn't want to be tied to the hospital... Occasionally she can accumulate merit points. The hospital is indeed a good place, but who would want to work there every day? She's almost financially independent; she could even open her own hospital. Why bother making things difficult for herself?

"It's like this, Aunt Xie, Commander Li, thank you for your kindness. Actually, I've already been transferred by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences to the position of deputy director of the Bincheng Agricultural Research Institute. If I go to the hospital again, I'll be too busy. However, medicine is my profession. If possible, I'd like to take on an honorary position on temporary assignment. I previously held a temporary position in Fengcheng for a period of time."

When she was in a good mood and lacked merit, she would take up a temporary post.

When I'm in a bad mood, I just want to stay home and do nothing.

Upon hearing this, Commander Li's eyes lit up: "Could I see the appointment letter?"

Su Wanqing then took out the letter of appointment.

Commander Li nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, good! If I had assigned you to this place before, there might have been some gossip, since quite a few people are watching. But Dr. Su, if you have this, then there won't be any problems at all. By the way, since you were previously on temporary assignment in Fengcheng, I can also inquire with the General Hospital about whether they need temporary assignments. I'll get back to you in a couple of days."

Su Wanqing nodded indifferently. It would be best if she could take a temporary post in Bincheng, as it would provide another place to accumulate merit points; if not, she could go to Fengcheng, which was right next door, and Elder Liang would welcome her there as well.

Commander Li immediately went to the county town to send telegrams, one after another, as if they were free.
