The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

So, Su Yu did not rush to discuss the future with Jiang Ziling, but patiently began her daily nursing work.

She carefully removed the dressing on Jiang Ziling's leg. The skin exposed under the cloth was covered in blue and purple. Although it was shocking, it was a necessary stage in the recovery process. Su Yu had long been accustomed to it and her expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.

She examined the fracture attentively, and every move of her fingers revealed her professionalism, meticulousness and tenderness.

Jiang Ziling seemed extremely indifferent to the pain, as if in his heart, the physical pain was far less important than the freedom of his soul.

After a while, Su Yu's frown gradually relaxed. The fractured bone healed well without any dislocation. This was undoubtedly good news.

She carefully applied a new layer of medicine, and every move was full of care and hope.

"You're recovering really well. If you take good care of yourself, you'll be fully recovered soon."

Her words were like a spring breeze, blowing away the last trace of haze in Jiang Ziling's heart.

Jiang Ziling looked at her gratefully, his eyes full of sincere gratitude.

"Thanks to Ayu."

He said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu just smiled lightly and said, "There's no need to thank each other between us," while skillfully wrapping Jiang Ziling's legs tightly with white cloth. The movement was smooth and full of warmth.

Jiang Ziling lowered his head and stared at the woman who was busy running around for him. A warm smile quietly climbed up the corners of his lips. No words were needed. The tacit understanding and friendship between the two became even deeper in this quiet moment.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, interrupting this warmth.

The two looked at each other, with some doubt in their eyes - it was already late at night, and the visit at this time was indeed surprising.

Su Yu first helped Jiang Ziling fix the bandage on his leg to make sure he wouldn't feel uncomfortable due to the sudden movement, then he slowly stood up and walked towards the door, already vaguely guessing the identity of the visitor.

The door slowly opened, and the moonlight shone on the figure standing outside. It was indeed Daya.

The girl's eyes and brows revealed a similar worry as Xie Xinghua's, as if she was always afraid that every move she made would anger the strict Zhao.

Su Yu was somewhat surprised by her proactive visit, but he also felt a warm feeling.

Su Yu stepped aside to make way and asked gently, his tone full of concern and welcome.

"What's the matter? Come in and talk."

However, Daya declined the kindness. She stood outside the door, her face looking particularly serious under the moonlight.

"no need."

She stated her purpose directly, "Do you still have the ointment you gave Mom last time?"

Su Yu didn't react for a moment, his memory searching quickly in his mind.

"ointment?"

She repeated it, apparently trying to remember which time it was.

Daya nodded slightly, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, but more of a firm request.

"It's the ointment you gave me after I accidentally bit my grandma and was punished."

In his words, he felt deeply guilty about the accident and grateful to Su Yu for helping him. Oh, Su Yu suddenly realized, and the scattered fragments of his memory gradually pieced together.

"Yes, is there anyone who got hurt accidentally?"

She asked with concern, with an imperceptible tenderness in her voice.

Daya pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes like a lake about to burst its banks. She tried to restrain herself, choking and begging, "Second Aunt, I...I beg you, can you give me another bottle of medicine?"

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but it revealed unspeakable urgency and helplessness.

Mother's injuries this time seemed to be particularly serious, with scars all over her body. Daya's heart felt like it was being stabbed by countless needles, and the pain was unbearable.

She was really at her wit's end, so she mustered up the courage to come before Su Yu.

Su Yu looked at Daya's anxious little face, and she understood what was going on in her heart. She did not continue to ask, but turned around silently and walked into the dark medicine cabinet, looking for medicine that could relieve the pain.

When Su Yu handed the precious potion to Daya's shaking hands, her eyes were full of care and encouragement: "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, remember to come to me, don't force yourself."

Although the words are short, they contain rich warmth and support.

Daya nodded heavily, tears in her eyes filled with gratitude, and then she hurried away under the cover of night, her steps quick but unsteady.

Su Yu watched the thin figure gradually disappear into the distance, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, accompanied by a long sigh.

Obviously, this was another silent injury, but what was puzzling was why I didn't even notice such a big change in my family this time?

The door closed gently, and Su Yu turned to Jiang Ziling, who was concentrating on fiddling with the medicine, with a hint of worry on his face, "What should we do? Although we are now out of Zhao's control, my sister-in-law's family..."

Having said this, there was a hint of powerlessness in her words.

Jiang Ziling looked up, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He did not stop the action in his hands and continued to grind the medicine carefully: "It's okay. We have survived all these years. Just bear with it. When my legs are fully recovered, I can go hunting in the mountains and earn more money to help my sister-in-law and her family. When their lives get better, we will naturally have the strength to separate and live our own lives."

His words were firm, as if all difficulties were insignificant in front of him.

Su Yu nodded slightly after hearing this. Although he felt mixed emotions, he also knew that under the current circumstances, this was indeed the best solution.

After all, as the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Ziling's contributions and sacrifices for the family seem so natural and necessary.

But to Xie Xinghua, Su Yu was an outsider after all. Coupled with the unpleasantness with Zhao, Xie Xinghua chose to keep a certain distance from her for the peace of her family. As time went by, Su Yu became more and more able to empathize with the hardship hidden behind this behavior, and his initial confusion turned into deep sympathy and understanding.

In the following days, Su Yu sorted the newly purchased medicinal materials one by one and started to prepare more medicines in case of possible future needs.

Her plan was to expand production, so the amount of medicine prepared this time was much larger than before.

She also noticed that the previous medicinal powder was not ground finely enough. If she wanted her product to enter the upper class, in addition to ensuring the efficacy of the medicine, continuous improvement in the production process was also indispensable.

So, Su Yu picked up the sieve and carefully filtered the medicinal powder that Jiang Ziling had worked so hard to grind, ensuring that every grain of powder could reach the optimal fineness, until they were as light as dust and exuded a faint herbal fragrance.

Xier watched the whole process with fascination. Her little face was full of curiosity and she stretched out her chubby little hands from time to time to try to help.
