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

Su Wanqing chuckled, finding the father and son quite amusing.

However, she looked at Chen Jianhua curiously—Grandpa Chen beat him so many times every day and scolded him arbitrarily, but Chen Jianhua didn't get angry at all, nor did he show any rebelliousness. Chen Jianhua clearly seemed like a very proud person.

Chen Jianhua followed the gaze and, seeing Su Wanqing's curious eyes, smiled and said, "Director Su, are you curious why I'm still smiling even though my dad treated me like this?"

Su Wanqing blinked and nodded. Even if it's her own father, a normal person would get angry if someone constantly bossed around like that.

Chen Jianhua frankly stated, "Because we didn't get along well before, he always said things like that to me. But once I almost burned to death, and my dad saved me; he almost didn't make it out himself. Since then, we've had a very good relationship."

He understood then that he owed the old man two lives, and if the old man wanted to say it, let him say it; what else could he do but talk to his own father?

Anyway, he figured it out after that incident. Talking wouldn't cost him a life, but what if his father hadn't come out that time...?

He'll feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he was very grateful that his father was still alive and could still find fault with him every day.

Su Wanqing suddenly realized, and then looked at the way Old Master Chen was always hunched over with one hand hidden in his sleeve—no wonder, Old Master Chen's posture has always been a bit strange.

"Alright, alright, this is old news from so many years ago." Old Master Chen waved his hand. "Little Su, not to be rude, but I've always been proud of my son. He's always been a good student, no need for me to say anything. But he's really stubborn, inflexible, and incredibly proud, not letting anyone say a word to him..."

Su Wanqing looked at Grandpa Chen and said, "Grandpa, when you have time, I'll take a look at your illness. Actually, my main job is as a doctor, and my medical skills are much better than my planting techniques."

Grandpa Chen waved his hand dismissively: "Hey, it's just an old ailment, it was damaged by a burn, there's no cure. I'm old, I don't care about that anymore."

Chen Jianhua, on the other hand, was very concerned—after all, it's fine now that it's winter, as you can't tell when he's wearing clothes, but in the middle of summer, his father never dares to wear a short-sleeved shirt.

He quickly said, "Director Su, it would be best if you could take a look. Actually, we've been to quite a few places, but they all say it's a burn that has damaged the nerves, making it difficult to recover. Besides, it doesn't affect his daily life, so there's nothing we can do. It would be great if you could take a look and treat him, because he gets pain every time the weather changes. We heard it's nerve pain, and he has to rely on painkillers to get through it."

Su Wanqing nodded and thought for a moment:

"Alright, Mr. Chen's situation is rather complicated. Here's what we'll do: come to the Department of Surgery at the Military Region General Hospital tomorrow or the day after. I'm the deputy chief physician on secondment there. Let me do a thorough examination first to see where the injury is, and then I'll discuss how to help him recover."

"Mr. Chen, please don't avoid seeking medical help. Medical conditions are becoming increasingly advanced. Just because there was no treatment before doesn't mean there isn't one now. You don't want to have to take medicine every time the weather changes, do you? Taking too much medicine isn't good for your health."

Grandpa Chen originally wanted to say not to go to so much trouble, but when Chen Jianhua heard that Su Wanqing was actually a deputy chief physician on temporary assignment, his eyes lit up—it seems that Director Su really has some skills.

Moreover, Su Wanqing is right. Just because there was no way to help him before doesn't mean there's no way to help him now. He doesn't want his father to have to take medicine all the time in the future.

He nodded immediately: "Okay, my father's retired anyway, I'll go tomorrow, definitely!"

Grandpa Chen waved his hand to interrupt, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. Didn't Xiao Su bring chickens? Come on, let's go to the animal husbandry room and take a look."

The planting was left to the six people led by Chen Xiuer. Su Wanqing and Grandpa Chen then took the chickens to the animal husbandry research lab.

"Old Zhang, come and see this chicken! It's the chicken I mentioned yesterday. Did you get the place I asked you to clear out for studying chickens ready?" Old Master Chen shouted as soon as he arrived.

Old Zhang had been waiting for a long time: "Director, I'm all ready! As soon as you mentioned this yesterday, I immediately got everything ready. Look, I even made a special notebook for research records, everything is in place."

He pointed to a clean iron cage, along with various record sheets and measuring tools.

Mr. Chen introduced, "This is Technician Zhang from the Animal Husbandry Department, who specializes in providing technical guidance for poultry."

Su Wanqing greeted the other person.

Today I brought two large chickens, a rooster and a hen, and three chicks. The rooster was very big, and the hen was a little smaller, but both were much bigger than ordinary chickens, not at all like chickens that were only a few months old. The three chicks were only a little over ten days old, but they were as big as chicks that were two or three months old.

Chen Jianhua exclaimed in surprise, "Is this really what a ten-day-old chick looks like? It's huge!"

Old Zhang took the chicken and put it into the coop. The hen clucked and laid two eggs smoothly on the straw nest built in the coop, as easily as taking a dump.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the two eggs, each the size of a small fist.

Grandpa Chen said, "Even the eggs are much bigger? This chicken does look different from ordinary chickens; it's more like a combination of a laying hen and a broiler."

Old Zhang opened the cage, took a warm egg from under the chicken's rear end, and weighed it: "It weighs sixty-five grams, which is indeed much larger than a regular egg."

Then the eggs were placed in a special incubator to observe the hatching process.

Su Wanqing said from the side, "This chicken is probably wild, which is why it eats so much. You don't need to feed it like you would a regular domestic chicken, afraid it will overeat and die. You can feed it more. Otherwise, if it doesn't eat enough, it will jump around and become restless."

"OK."

Old Zhang immediately sprinkled the food he had prepared beforehand, and the chickens devoured it like starving ghosts reincarnated.

Old Zhang quickly took out his notebook and began recording the data.

Grandpa Chen and Chen Jianhua were both very happy: "This is indeed a good chicken! Apart from eating a little more, its growth rate, egg production rate, and egg weight are all much better than the previous breeds."

Chen Jianhua also said, "Our current task is to vigorously breed this breed, first expanding it to a thousand individuals to see its stability. If there are no problems, I will submit a report to promote its breeding further. After a few months of data collection, we can invite higher authorities to conduct an inspection and see if it can be promoted nationwide."

Grandpa Chen said, "No rush, take it one step at a time. Xiao Su discovered a new breed of chicken and contributed it to the organization; that's a great achievement. Son, remember to credit Xiao Su for this; it's a big deal, we can't let him produce this chicken for nothing."

Chen Jianhua nodded: "Okay, that's definitely necessary. I'll write it down later, and I'll also submit a report to apply for a subsidy for each chicken." Old Master Chen nodded.
