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

When he said this, he was completely open and honest, without considering any private matters between husband and wife. He was simply seeking Su Wanqing's opinion from a practical and respectful perspective.

Su Wanqing carried the prepared food to the room, quickly making plans in her mind.

She was separated from her wicked mother-in-law by only a thin curtain. Even if it were a wooden board, that thickness wouldn't be enough for her to turn over in bed at night, whisper a secret, or even... Later, she and Zhou Yanshen would do things that everyone wanted to do, but in a completely aboveboard way...

Wouldn't you be able to hear the noise clearly?

How embarrassing would it be if, while you were doing this, your mother suddenly came from next door and said, "So annoying, keep it down!"

A brick wall is a completely different story. If you move it gently, you probably won't hear it, right? Anyway, she doesn't have much experience in this area.

Furthermore, this brick house is already the best in the educated youth settlement, with only four rooms in total. It's simply unrealistic to expect Zhou's mother to move out and live alone in the short term.

Thinking of this, she wiped her hands and looked at Zhou Yanshen.

"Comrade Yanshen, I think since we're going to partition it anyway, why not do it right the first time and just use bricks to divide the room into two separate parts? That way, Mom and I can each have some private space, it'll be convenient for each other, and it'll be quiet. It'll also be more convenient to do things in the future... What do you think?"

She spoke subtly, but she emphasized the phrase "do something".

Su Wanqing had been eyeing Zhou Yanshen's pectoral muscles for a long time. Just thinking about sleeping with his hard pectoral muscles and stroking his eight-pack abs every day made her smile in her sleep.

I can't imagine how happy she was!

Even if she were to travel back to this impoverished era, even if she were given a spatial ability and a cheat code, even if she were allowed to sleep with the male lead, kiss him whenever she wanted, and do whatever she wanted with him, and wake up every day with endless money and supplies, she would still be willing.

Zhou Yanshen didn't react at first, but when he heard Su Wanqing emphasize those words, his mind went blank.

His handsome, aloof face suddenly turned bright red, even his neck was tinged with crimson.

"I'm not better now, but once I'm better, I'll have to do 'that' with my wife sooner or later."

"My wife is indeed very thoughtful."

He was about to agree with her and say "I'll do whatever you say" when he heard a series of loud footsteps and curses coming from outside the door.

"I don't think it's very good!" Zhou's mother came back from work, her voice arriving before she even entered the door.

She flung open the curtain and pointed at Su Wanqing, yelling, "You little vixen! You've been trying to seduce my son while I was away, haven't you? What mischief are you whispering about now? Are you trying to get my son to do this or that again?"

Su Wanqing immediately switched to a soft, innocent tone, "Mom, what are you saying? Yan Shen is my man. How is it seduction when I discuss family matters with my own man? If I don't discuss them with my man, am I supposed to discuss them with outsiders? Isn't that perfectly normal?"

These words left Zhou's mother speechless, "I don't care! What shameful things are you two doing that you have to hide from me? Do whatever you want! But dividing this perfectly good big house into two tiny pigeonholes, with the outer room being such a tiny space, I've never suffered such humiliation in my entire life! Just use a wooden board to separate the two rooms on the kang (heated brick bed)! Why make it so complicated!"

She strongly opposed the brick wall partition, simply because she felt the space would become smaller and she would be at a disadvantage.

Zhou Yanshen frowned, about to refute his mother's unreasonable behavior.

Su Wanqing, however, smiled slightly and spoke first, her tone becoming unusually gentle and considerate.

"Comrade Yanshen, what Mom said makes sense. She's unhappy about the big house becoming a small house, so if she doesn't want it, then so be it. You should focus on the important matter of digging the well these next few days. Once you're done, you can just make a simple partition with wooden boards. Mom is getting old, and as the younger generation, we should be more considerate of her and make her happy."

Old woman, you've been through this yourself, how dare you stop me from touching your chest muscles? Fine, fine, you don't want to separate, huh? Well, you'll have to beg your son to separate you in a couple of days.

Looking at Su Wanqing, who had suddenly become sensible and aggrieved, Zhou Yanshen felt extremely sorry for her. He felt that he owed his wife too much and had to make up for it tenfold!

He couldn't help but grasp her hand. "Comrade Wanqing, although Mother is my mother, you don't need to always tolerate her mistakes..."

Su Wanqing gently squeezed his hand in return. "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's have a simple meal first. This matter... can be discussed in a couple of days."

She skillfully changed the subject.

Between her mother-in-law and Zhou Yanshen, she would never play the villain, but would let the two of them resolve their own conflicts.

This means the conflict is between the mother-in-law and the husband, not between the individual and the mother-in-law, or between the individual and the husband.

The solution is quite simple: one side will inevitably have to make concessions, and the side that makes concessions is usually the one who is more willing to give.

As she spoke, Su Wanqing ladled a large bowl of fried rice and mushroom soup for each of them from the basin. The rich aroma instantly silenced the two of them.

Zhou's mother's usual strict rules about not eating greasy or meaty food vanished in the face of Su Wanqing's fried rice. She picked up the bowl and started shoveling food into her mouth.

As she ate, she couldn't help but glance at Su Wanqing: This little vixen is actually somewhat useful! Hmph, trying to separate me with a brick wall? No way! I'm in the right, let's see what you can do about it!

After the meal, Zhou Yanshen took the initiative to clean up the dishes and then went to the canal two miles away to fetch water. He heated it up for the family to wash up, but when he returned, he said with a sour expression:

"The water in the canal is decreasing, and it will probably be gone in a couple of days."

Su Wanqing comforted her, "Don't worry, the well we dug will definitely produce water."

Zhou Yanshen frowned. Even if one well produces water, it can't save a large area of ​​wheat. It seems that the 65th Regiment will have very little food this year.

After finishing all that, it was already late, so he went to bed early to rest and conserve his energy for the intensive well-drilling work the next day. Zhou's mother was so tired that her eyelids were drooping, and she could fall asleep almost as soon as her head hit the bed.

However, Su Wanqing did not go to sleep immediately.

She silently took out the set of silver needles, brought them close to Zhou Yanshen's ear, and whispered, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe:

"Comrade Yanshen, do you want to recover completely as soon as possible? I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to give you acupuncture treatment."

After drinking the spiritual spring water for a few days, Su Wanqing felt Zhou Yanshen's pulse and found that he was already halfway better, so acupuncture was no longer necessary.

But getting acupuncture every day and letting her touch her chest and abdominal muscles makes her feel more happy.

The key point is that she hadn't even had the acupuncture yet. A few days later, Zhou Yanshen recovered on his own. While he was sleeping, he suddenly found that he could do it again. How do you explain that?

Of course, there's another reason: if she doesn't do something exciting, her mother-in-law will really think she's an easy target.
