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

After resolving the alfalfa issue, Su Wanqing finalized the specific time with Party Secretary Li for the next exchange of supplies at the usual location before heading to her mushroom laboratory.

The door to Jiang Weiwei's laboratory next door remains locked, and she hasn't even returned to her brick house in the past two days.

Su Wanqing squinted and peeked through the crack in the window—hey! The incubators and mushroom spawn bags that were originally placed inside had all vanished!

Okay, okay, Jiang Weiwei, are you planning to cheat openly?

It is estimated that they took advantage of their connection with the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to take the strains to a place with better conditions for cultivation, and then used mature mushrooms to fill the gaps when the competition date was approaching.

Su Wanqing sneered inwardly. Since that was the case, she had to keep a backup plan. Then they would see whose mushroom production was more amazing!

Anyway, whatever amount Jiang Weiwei dares to put up for a group buy, she'll follow suit!

Zhou Yanshen has been on a mission these past few days and won't be back at night. Su Wanqing didn't ask where he went. She was happy to leave early and return late, avoiding any contact with Zhou's mother and Lin Tingting.

Lin Tingting had been fantasizing about being alone with her cousin while Su Wanqing was away, but her cousin simply vanished without a trace. She was so angry that she stomped her feet. She had planned to make things difficult for Su Wanqing by deliberately not making her portion of the meal, but Su Wanqing was nowhere to be found.

"I originally wanted to see her get furious and come to question me, so I could take the opportunity to start a fight, and my aunt could use her authority as an elder to teach her a lesson. Who knew..."

You can't see anyone anywhere!

Lin Tingting felt extremely aggrieved.

Su Wanqing has been living a carefree life these past few days.

When hungry, take out a steaming hot meat bun or fried dough stick from your space, along with braised beef, braised pork ribs, and fried fish. When thirsty, there's sweet soy milk. After the meal, you can enjoy an apple or pear.

In contrast, Zhou's mother suffered greatly.

She couldn't cook to begin with, and Lin Tingting's cooking was so bad that even a dog wouldn't eat it.

Zhou's mother wanted to act like a mother-in-law and vent her anger on Su Wanqing, but she couldn't even see her. The two stayed at home for several days without exchanging a single word, and Zhou's mother was extremely frustrated.

That afternoon, after finishing work, Zhou's mother saw the porridge and overcooked eggs. She was hungry but had no appetite.

"Tingting, I've been teaching you to cook these past few days, and you've learned nothing! How are we supposed to eat this?!"

Lin Tingting's eyes lit up. "Auntie, I think we still need to find a way to get Su Wanqing to cook! As a daughter-in-law, she doesn't cook, doesn't wash clothes, doesn't serve you, and even deliberately avoids you. Isn't this perfect? ​​With my cousin away these few days and no one protecting her, you can use your authority as a mother-in-law to teach her a lesson! Otherwise, won't she think she can get away with anything?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother thought it made sense: "But I can't see her for a whole day, how am I supposed to discipline her?"

Lin Tingting smiled slyly: "That's easy! We'll just wait for her at the door today! She'll eventually come back to sleep, right? Then..."

The two were discussing in hushed tones when a knocking sound suddenly came from the door.

……

Wearing a Lenin suit, Su Lingshan, along with Xie Lanhua and Uncle Su, endured several days of bumpy travel, nearly losing her life, before finally arriving at the 65th Regiment.

"What a lousy place! A desolate wasteland!" Xie Lanhua disgustedly brushed the dust off her clothes. If it weren't for the gold and getting Su Wanqing back to report, she would never have come to this godforsaken place.

Su Lingshan straightened her collar, tilted her head back, and looked at the backward scene before her. The thought of Su Wanqing suffering here filled her with a twisted sense of pleasure.

"The more dilapidated the better, that way my cousin will be even more eager to go back to the city with us and throw herself into Director Hao's arms."

"Su Wanqing, Su Wanqing, these past few months, you must have been driven almost crazy by your wicked mother-in-law and this impoverished life, right?"

Uncle Su, clutching his aching back, said impatiently, "Hurry up, we're starving! Find my niece first and tell her to cook us a decent meal, then we can talk about this. Once you're done, head back; I've already taken leave from the factory!"

Xie Lanhua shoved Su Lingshan: "You brat, what are you standing there for? Go find out where Su Wanqing lives!"

Su Lingshan rolled her eyes and just then ran into Aunt Wang, who had finished working for her daughter Chen Xiuer, who had recently given birth, and was on her way home.

Although Chen Xiuer had given birth, there was no such thing as postpartum confinement in those days. After the autumn harvest, the troupe was busy planting rapeseed and alfalfa, and the women also had to participate in relatively easy but time-consuming farm work such as thinning seedlings and fertilizing.

Aunt Wang felt sorry for her daughter, so she did the easiest job of feeding the pigs for her for a few days, which was also a way for her to get some exercise.

She plans to return to her own home when her granddaughter turns one month old. Then, Xiuer will be able to carry the baby on her back and work at the same time.

Stopped by Su Lingshan, Aunt Wang looked impatient and just wanted to go home for dinner.

"Excuse me, ma'am, do you know anyone among the newly arrived educated youth who is named Su Wanqing?" Su Lingshan forced out what she thought was a friendly smile.

Aunt Wang immediately became alert: "What are you doing here? What do you want with Dr. Su?"

Xie Lanhua was quick to speak, and before she could finish saying "That brat stole it...", Su Lingshan covered her mouth tightly.

"Auntie, please don't misunderstand, that's my cousin! We're family, and we came all the way from the provincial capital to visit her. We thought she was having a hard time in the countryside, so we brought her some of her favorite foods and candies."

As she spoke, she deliberately lifted a corner of the package, revealing fruit candies, canned fruit, and malted milk powder that could only be bought in the provincial capital.

Her plan was to first create the image of a close family member visiting with generous gifts in front of the villagers, and then suddenly launch an attack, accusing Su Wanqing of stealing money, creating a stark contrast that would leave her speechless!

"Oh my! Who do we have here? It's Dr. Su's family! Look at my eyes! Come on, come on, I'll take you there right now! Dr. Su is a great hero here!"

"Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble, Auntie." Su Lingshan replied, but a doubt arose in her heart.

On the way, Su Lingshan pretended to get information out of everyone: "I hope my sister hasn't caused any trouble for everyone lately. She's studying medicine, so she's straightforward and likes to swear. She's never done farm work before, so it's normal that she can't do these hard jobs. Please be understanding."

She deliberately tried to get Wang Da Niang to reveal that Su Wanqing was not used to rural life and was pretentious.

Aunt Wang nodded in deep agreement, "Dr. Su's hands are for saving lives, not for rough work! Don't worry, since she came to the countryside, she hasn't been allowed to do any heavy work in the fields even for a single day! Our whole troupe relies on her for medical treatment!"

Su Lingshan's smile froze slightly.

Never done heavy work before? This is completely different from what she expected!

"Shouldn't she have been condemned by the entire village, lost her job as the village health worker, and been relegated to doing hard and dirty work after saving Secretary Li's life?!"
