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

cough cough.

If I keep thinking about it, one of my brothers will start to look all smug again.

Zhou Yanshen snapped out of his reverie, stood ramrod straight, and remained calm, as if he hadn't been thinking about anything at all.

Upon hearing this, Veterinarian Sun straightened his back and glanced at Su Wanqing.

"Hmph, so these real professional skills still require professional veterinarians like us, not just any amateur veterinarian can do! My work points and stipend for this house call should include this!"

Sun Mancang works at the county's livestock station. When several farms around the county invite him, they all have to be polite and make an appointment in advance!

He finally regained some confidence and face.

"Yes, yes, of course! We trust your skills, Dr. Sun!" Squad Leader Wang and another young man smiled obsequiously, then turned to Su Wanqing.

"Comrade Su, please wait a moment. We have about twenty male piglets that need to be castrated. We need your help. Once we're done, we'll bring over the chicks you applied for."

Su Wanqing nodded, but smiled as she looked at Veterinarian Sun, who was preparing to show off his skills.

"Castrending pigs? I know a little bit about that. Since we're just waiting anyway, let's all do it together and it'll be faster."

She wanted to stay and see if there was a chance to come into contact with more living things and test the "tenfold return" effect of the space on living beings.

Someone was watching her the whole time she was rescuing the ewe, so she didn't have a chance to act. But now that she'll have sheep and chickens at home, there's no rush. She'll see if she can get some piglets first.

"Huh? Dr. Su, you can even do this?" Squad Leader Wang exclaimed, both surprised and delighted. "That's great! Having more people to help will definitely speed things up!"

Zhou Yanshen glanced at his wife with some surprise, a hint of...subtlety in his eyes. He hadn't expected his wife to actually get involved?

When Zhou Yanshen actually started operating the equipment, he felt... a chill run down his spine. Even the professional veterinarian, Mr. Sun, was completely outmatched by his wife in terms of efficiency.

Veterinarian Sun was still using the traditional method, which required someone to help hold down the struggling and screaming piglets before he could make the incision. Although he was skilled, each piglet still took a while to process, and the piglets' pitiful cries were incessant.

But when the piglets got into Su Wanqing's hands, the situation changed completely.

With lightning speed, she grabbed the target with one hand and held the knife given to her by Dr. Sun in the other. With a flick of her wrist, she squeezed and pulled out something!

Before the little piglet could even let out a complete scream, it felt a chill beneath it, and the root of its troubles had already left its body.

Su Wanqing casually patted the pig's rump, sprinkled some hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder mixed with spiritual spring water, and said softly, "Go!"

The little piglet ran off in a daze, only grunting a couple of times a while later, much less than the veterinarian's reaction.

Zhou Yanshen: "..."

He silently and impassively brought his legs together. He resolved never to upset his wife again. That technique was so swift; it looked painful.

If he really angers his wife, and one day she cuts him open with a knife, wouldn't he be unable to perform anymore?

Meanwhile, Su Wanqing was efficiently castrating the piglets. While the others were busy and their attention was scattered, she quietly put three of the strongest-looking male piglets into the breeding compartment of her space with a thought.

She made a special mark on each piglet.

Then, facing the three piglets in the space, he decisively activated his skill:

"Golden Elixir! Tenfold Return!"

Can living creatures be returned?

In an instant, golden light shone within the breeding compartment! When the light faded, the spot where there had been three piglets had been transformed into thirty huddled together, grunting and squealing!

Su Wanqing was overjoyed: "!!!"

It actually works! Jin Guanling is so powerful that he can even return ten times the amount to live animals!

However, the surprise lasted only a moment.

Su Wanqing quickly noticed something was wrong. The three piglets with original markings on their ears were very lively in the breeding area, rooting around everywhere.

However, the other twenty-seven piglets that were returned, although they looked the same, were the same size, and even had the same markings, had no spirit in their eyes and just stood there blankly, like...like soulless copies.

Su Wanqing frowned slightly and put the three lively piglets back into the real pigpen, where they mingled with the other piglets.

In any case, she's now considered a "pig farmer" with 27 pigs in her space! Although these pigs look a bit silly, as long as they can gain weight, that's fine!

We'll explore the specific differences later.

The young man next to him nudged Squad Leader Wang with his elbow and whispered, "Hey, did you see that? Dr. Su's skills are even better than Veterinarian Sun's! Fast and accurate, the pig barely suffered!"

"Who says otherwise! I think we should just ask Dr. Su to handle all the chores in our company from now on! She's so approachable, always available, and unlike some people we have to treat like royalty, having to be mindful of their attitude!"

Although their murmurs were quiet, Sun Mancang still vaguely heard a few words, which made him so angry that his face turned ashen and his hands moved erratically, almost cutting himself.

He never expected that Su Wanqing, a young girl, would be more experienced and skilled at such dirty and bloody work than him! How could he, a professional veterinarian, put his face here?

Halfway through, Sun Mancang couldn't take it anymore. He abruptly dropped his tools, refused the agreed-upon payment, and with a dark expression, picked up his medicine box and left without a word.

Su Wanqing shrugged indifferently. If it weren't for Dr. Sun constantly belittling and looking down on her, she wouldn't be like this.

Su Wanqing efficiently finished processing all the remaining piglets.

The staff at the farm were extremely grateful and, in addition to the six half-grown chicks Zhou Yanshen had applied for, they took two extra as a token of their appreciation.

And so, Su Wanqing and Zhou Yanshen, along with a ewe, two lambs, eight chicks, and the twenty-seven slightly dim-witted ten-times-return pigs from Su Wanqing's space, rode in Old Zhang's oxcart, swaying and wobbling back home.

"I'll submit a report later and apply to build a small pigpen in our backyard and raise two pigs. If you think the smell is unpleasant, I'll build the pigpen in the farthest corner of the yard, away from the house. I'll take care of feeding the sheep and chickens, and cleaning the pigpen; you don't need to worry about it."

Seeing the way his wife's eyes lit up when she touched the pig, Zhou Yanshen figured she must really like these little animals, so he decided to get things done as soon as possible.

He figured he'd probably have to work long hours again for a few days to help the division's reconnaissance battalion with their training problems in nighttime mountain infiltration and counter-infiltration, in exchange for the regiment's swift approval of his family's livestock farming application and an extra quota.

After all, although Zhou Yanshen was temporarily sidelined due to injury, he still held some weight in the reconnaissance ranks of the main force regiment.

Of course, he wouldn't go into detail about these behind-the-scenes deals with Su Wanqing.
