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

Da Bao is a seven-year-old boy with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a chubby face; Xiao Bao is a four-year-old girl with two little pigtails and a round, chubby face.

Both of them looked at Su Wanqing with curiosity, their eyes sparkling.

Looking at the two clean and chubby babies, Su Wanqing immediately rummaged through the basket on her back and took out various snacks and goat milk candies, then bent down and handed them over.

Da Bao took it with a sheepish grin and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Xiao Bao's eyes darted around, and his chubby little face, with its pair of dark grape-like eyes curving into crescents, said in a soft, sweet voice, "Thank you, Auntie."

Su Wanqing smiled and gently patted her little head, her heart instantly melting.

Then Su Wanqing took out several boxes of crayfish from her basket, along with several servings of hot braised pork and fried fish from the space, as well as a whole roasted lamb, and handed them all to Ding Xiaomei:

"Sis, add an extra dish for us tonight."

"Wow, where did you buy all this? So many dishes!" Ding Xiaomei felt a warm feeling in her heart when she saw Su Wanqing take out so much food.

Back in Xinjiang, Lin Tingting had secretly told her how selfish and difficult Su Wanqing was, but now that she's known her for so long, she doesn't find Su Wanqing difficult at all. She's always smiling, and most importantly, she's thoughtful and knows how to take care of people.

Knowing that Da Bao and Xiao Bao were coming in the next few days, I not only bought all kinds of gifts and clothes, but also prepared all the food.

Lin Tingting had been an aunt for so many years, and all she ever did was give a red envelope during holidays. Su Wanqing, on her first year as an aunt, had already bought so many things.

After this comparison, Ding Xiaomei felt that her sister-in-law, Su Wanqing, was truly reliable and gave her face.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao laughed heartily as they looked at all the food, extremely happy.

With three more people added to the family, it suddenly became lively. Uncle Ding had just converted the bed in another room into a large kang (heated brick bed) today, and with thick mattresses, it could easily sleep four or five people.

Zhou Yanshen was sitting on the bed making a chair. There were so many people at home these past few days that there weren't enough stools and chairs.

He looked up and saw that Su Wanqing had a rosy complexion and a strong voice, so he felt relieved and said in a gentle tone, "Wanqing, the aunt of Shen Ruolan, the patient you treated this afternoon, came over and said she wants to talk to you about the scar removal cream and the color TV tomorrow."

Su Wanqing nodded: "Okay, I'll go over there tomorrow morning." She didn't expect things to be resolved so quickly. It seems Lin Meihua is quite anxious too. She just wanted to sell those TVs before the New Year and make a small profit of a few hundred thousand. Hehe.

Then Su Wanqing sat on the bed and chatted with everyone about everyday things.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao circled around her, sometimes touching her round belly, sometimes asking curiously, "When will the little baby come out?" making everyone in the room laugh.

When it was time for dinner, Zhou's mother and Gu Yuan arrived late, because electricity had been installed in her room and she now spent all her time watching TV.

Now there are even more people in the family, and one dining table isn't enough to accommodate everyone. So, people on the beds sit at one table, and those on chairs sit at another, eating separately.

Uncle Ding said he'll make a huge table tomorrow, and then we'll move it into the yard and eat together.

The whole family was together in the evening, creating a lively atmosphere. Although it wasn't Chinese New Year yet, it already felt like the New Year celebrations.

Today, Ding Xiaomei not only led the whole family in a thorough cleaning, but also made a lot of fried pumpkin cakes and steamed buns. They didn't need to make fried meatballs, as there were still several bowls of them in the refrigerator.

What Su Wanqing found particularly novel was that Ding Xiaomei had also made rat-shaped steamed buns and flower-shaped steamed buns, several baskets of various kinds, which looked both festive and exquisite, making it hard to bear to eat them.

According to tradition, we'll be making braised vegetables and meat starting tomorrow. Ding Xiaomei specially asked her neighbor for some old braising liquid, and bought pig's head, pig's trotters and chicken feet to prepare a big pot of braised meat for tomorrow. She also wants to make pork jelly.

In short, in the days leading up to the Lunar New Year, Ding Xiaomei had everything arranged perfectly for the whole family except for Su Wanqing; even the cat had to stand up and help chase away the mice. This was the first time Su Wanqing had truly experienced the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Silent all night.

The next day, the whole family started working early in the morning, and even Ding Xiaomei's husband, Lao Liu, was pulled in to help.

Su Wanqing had just woken up and was having breakfast. In the morning, her brother-in-law, Lao Liu, made soy milk, which was served with fried dough sticks, and Ding Xiaomei made tofu pudding.

She called Aunt Xie next to her to eat with them. As soon as the family sat down, Aunt Xie happily ate sweet tofu pudding. People here like to eat sweet food, while people in Xinjiang prefer savory food. Each has its own characteristics, and Su Wanqing loves both.

Aunt Xie said mysteriously, "Dr. Su, Yan Shen, my son left in a hurry this morning and asked me to pass on a message to you. He said that the house that your son Yan Shen helped to get approved has been approved."

The whole family looked over curiously.

Su Wanqing asked curiously, "Didn't we say before that we could just extend and build a new house from ours?"

Aunt Xie waved her hand: "It was changed at the last minute. You didn't know, did you? Yesterday, the higher-ups made Commander Chen and his whole family move out."

Wasn't it Chen Yuchun who spread rumors about Dr. Su? The results came out, and I heard the punishment was extremely severe; she lost her job, and it even caused Commander Chen to be transferred from Bincheng to a military sub-district in a lower county. Although it was a lateral transfer, everyone knows it was a demotion.

Su Wanqing was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that Chen Yuchun's actions would not only cost her her job but also her father's house, which he had worked so hard to build over decades. "So, the other house is now vacant?"

Aunt Xie nodded: "Who says it isn't! It was originally vacant, but then the higher-ups discussed it and decided that since Dr. Su is a victim and your family is going to expand, they might as well give you that house too."

You could combine the two houses together, add a large yard, and turn it into one house.

My son asked me to come here today to tell you that if you agree, he will report it according to this procedure, and when the construction team comes, he will ask you how to make the changes.

If you ask me, you should also fence off the area where the road used to pass through in the middle, and build a house or a yard there. That would create a big, beautiful courtyard!

Su Wanqing's eyes sparkled; she hadn't expected such a big surprise: "That's wonderful! If it really works, of course we'd love to. We can convert these two houses into one, and the place will be much bigger, with a bigger yard too..."
