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

Su Wanqing frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

When everyone rushed in, they were dumbfounded.

The former grain-producing area was in complete disarray, riddled with unseen traps. A dozen or so people were trapped inside; some were suspended in mid-air, some had stepped into deep pits, and some had ropes strangling their ankles. They were all covered in blood, howling and screaming in agony on the ground.

Gu Zhixing stood calmly to the side, dragging the bags of grain that these people had carried out back to their original positions.

Seeing so many people arrive, Gu Zhixing finally let out a slow breath, revealing a childlike smile, and said the words he had prepared beforehand: "Secretary Liu, these bad guys wanted to steal beforehand, but I discovered them, so I set a trap in advance."

Secretary Liu's lips twitched as he looked at the chaotic scene on the ground:

"Those who steal grain don't need to be treated so badly... I saw some people whose legs were almost broken. If they're broken, it'll be too much trouble for Dr. Su to treat them, which is such a hassle."

This is blood all over the place... How unlucky! The people who stole the grain were driven to desperation. A little punishment would have been enough.

Gu Zhixing added, "Chen Laosan, along with others, brought explosives and oil. They were planning to set everything on fire and blow up the warehouse, hoping to steal more valuable items in the chaos..."

Enraged, Party Secretary Liu roared, "What kind of bastards are these! Stealing is one thing, but setting fires is another! Are they not leaving any way for others to survive? These people deserve to die! Teach them a lesson! These people, where's Xiao Wang? Take him straight to the police station tonight!"

Su Wanqing, who was just about to go out to work overtime treating patients: "..."

I've witnessed firsthand how quickly Liu Shuqing can change his tune.

Liu Shuqing even took off his shoes and used the soles to hit Chen Laosan:

"You son of a bitch! The entire regiment of several thousand men is relying on this meager supply of food to get through the winter. It's only December now, and there are still three months until spring. The whole regiment doesn't even have enough food! It's one thing for you to be unreliable all the time, and it's another to steal a little bit yourself, but to let so many people come and steal with you, and then burn it all?"

While cursing, he slapped Chen Laosan across the mouth. Liu Shuqing, who was usually a gentle person, was now so angry that he even swore.

Chen Laosan was bound by the trap beneath his feet, crying with snot and drool streaming down his face:

"Liu Shuqing, you're a hypocrite! If you were truly a good person, you should have given us all this grain and coal! You charge ten yuan a ton for coal, why don't you just rob us? And you took all the grain we harvested in the fall, and now that we have no grain, you still want to sell it to us... We're poor, we can't even get enough to eat!"

Liu Shuqing was absolutely furious: "You fucking bastard, you can't even buy a ton of coal for thirty yuan outside right now! The cheapest broken coal is fifteen yuan, and we're losing money on the coal lumps we sell to you!"

He was too lazy to say anything more, and simply waved his hand, "Go, quickly send all these people to the police station!"

The situation was in a great uproar when Liu Shuqing called Gu Zhixing back again:

"You're a good kid, you set a trap beforehand to catch these people. Otherwise, even if you two guarded the warehouse, you wouldn't have been able to do anything about them. You saved the whole regiment, so I'll give you credit for that. Don't worry, the policies have loosened up now, and those of you who were sent down should be able to return to the city in about two months."

Su Wanqing stroked her chin and looked at Gu Zhixing.

She wondered why the boy was guarding the warehouse every day; it turned out he already knew this was going to happen.

However, ever since Gu Zhixing developed a fever—or rather, the day he was reborn—he suddenly asked me if I knew Chen Laosan, which was strange. So, this biggest variable in the original story also caught Gu Zhixing's attention, which is why he asked me if I knew Chen Laosan.

In other words, Gu Zhixing must also know that she is not the original Su Wanqing.

There are quite a few reborn individuals this year.

Su Wanqing shook her head, deciding to ignore it.

No matter what, Gu Zhixing did this to save people. As long as he is not a bad person, being reborn is not a bad thing.

However, since Gu Zhixing is Gu Yuan's son, they will likely have some interactions in the future. The thought that Gu Zhixing knows her identity makes it a little strange for her to speak to him—after all, she can no longer treat Gu Zhixing like a six-year-old child.

Since the warehouse still needed tidying up, Su Wanqing and Uncle Ding simply went home and continued sleeping.

Gu Zhixing spotted Su Wanqing in the crowd. Seeing that she seemed somewhat surprised, and then thoughtfully went back, he realized that this sister-in-law was probably not a reincarnation and didn't know about his past. He felt relieved.

"That's good, no one will know I was reborn now."

Gu Zhixing shook his head again. Now that his father had married into the family, Zhou Yanshen could be considered his elder brother, and Su Wanqing could be considered his sister-in-law. He could only hope that they could get along peacefully in the future, after all, this sister-in-law's identity was too strange, and she also had great abilities.

But Gu Zhixing still admired her for all the good things she had done.

The matter concerning Chen Laosan was quickly resolved the next day.

Fearing that someone might covet the warehouse again, Liu Shuqing simply distributed the grain in the warehouse to all the villagers in advance in the form of work points—after all, there were still several months of winter ahead, and everyone's grain reserves were running low.

Su Wanqing did not go to collect the food.

She didn't even consider those hundreds of pounds of brown rice worth her attention; it wasn't even as much as the amount of grain her several pigs in her space could eat in one meal. In the time it took to queue up for that, the grain from her few acres of land in her space could produce several thousand pounds.

Chen Xiuer's family did not go to collect it.

The "family" here refers to Chen Xiuer and Aunt Wang. As for Chen Xiuer's ex-husband, Zhao Shupi, he was sent to the police station after the road was opened.

It is reported that he destroyed the only new tractor in the regiment and was also suspected of murder. He was convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to life imprisonment under the criminal law at the time.

When Chen Xiuer's former mother-in-law, Aunt Sun, found out, she even came to her door with a kitchen knife and started yelling at her. Guo Mingyuan happened to be there that day, and the two ended up at Secretary Liu's place, whereupon they were both taken to the police station. Now, the mother and daughter are probably reunited in prison.

On another note, while the whole village went to collect their grain rations, Su Wanqing stayed home and started thinking about recipes to prepare some food for the journey.

Now, her personal space is filled with over a hundred different kinds of food.

After experimenting with dozens of ways to eat fruit, she actually made strawberry mousse and cream cake.

The bad news was that these things couldn't be exposed to the light and could only be enjoyed by herself. She thought that when she returned to the city, she would definitely get some cocoa and make chocolate coffee, mocha, chocolate cake mousse, and the like.

It's best to bring pork and chicken on the road.

Su Wanqing simply placed the chickens one by one into the processing compartment, lavishly using precious resources. In no time, she conjured up more than a dozen kinds of dishes, including Sichuan pepper chicken, braised chicken, braised chicken, Sichuan-style chicken, salt-baked chicken, crispy fried chicken, Kung Pao chicken, teriyaki chicken legs, crispy chicken cutlets, curry chicken pieces, and more.
