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

She had been hurt in the past, but she was able to bear it now. She lay in bed every day, enjoying the rare leisure and freedom.

When the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and Da Zhuang got on Uncle Li's old but warm ox cart to go to the market, the setting sun gently shone on the three of them, forming a harmonious family picture.

However, when dusk fell and the ox cart returned, only Zhao was seen carrying Da Zhuang alone. Her figure looked lonely and heavy in the darkening sky.

Uncle Li, the kind-hearted old man, was suspicious when he saw this. He asked Zhao with concern, "Xunzhong, where is your wife? Why can't you see her?"

These words seemed to have touched a switch, and Zhao's tears instantly burst out, accompanied by intermittent sobs, and she was filled with sorrow.

"That cruel woman left the child behind and ran away..."

This accusation was like a bomb dropped into calm water, causing an uproar all around.

"Ran?"

Several villagers were surprised and repeated the word in unison.

"Where can you run to?"

Someone wondered.

"Did you sneak away?"

Another person asked, obviously in disbelief at this sudden news.

Zhao slowly recounted the events while sobbing: "That restless guy went to the county government office last time and was seduced by a wild man outside..."

The villagers exchanged glances with each other, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

Although there had been rumors about this matter before, they were all regarded as idle gossip after dinner, and no one expected it to become a fact.

At this moment, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart, causing waves of fear.

In particular, these words actually came from Zhao's mouth, which made everyone even more surprised.

You have to know that Fang Qin is the wife of her own son. Even if such an unspeakable thing happened, it should not be discussed so openly. After all, it is a shame for the Jiang family and a great disrespect to the deceased Xunzhong.

Thinking of this, people can't help but mourn for Jiang Xunzhong silently, with complicated feelings in their hearts.

In such an atmosphere, everyone chose to remain silent, pretending nothing had happened on the surface, but each had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Zhao's voice sounded again, her words full of true feelings: "I was furious at the time, so I naturally didn't treat her well, but then I thought, Da Zhuang is still so young, how can he be without a mother without a father? So I cooked delicious food for her every day, and today I took her to the market to buy new clothes, but I didn't expect this heartless woman to abandon Da Zhuang and run away."

"She also said that she didn't want to be a widow for the rest of her life because of my son who died young..."

"Wow, wow, my poor grandson, what should I do in the future?"

Zhao's narration was so vivid and detailed that it seemed as if it was happening right before one's eyes, which moved people uncontrollably.

Although the onlookers were skeptical about the sudden news, they all offered words of comfort and tried to calm Zhao's grief.

"Aunt Zhou, don't be sad. If someone wants to leave and you can't keep them, just let them go."

Someone consoled him.

"Yes, a widow ran away. What can we do? We can only sigh that it's a miserable fate."

Another person echoed, with helplessness and sighs mixed in his words.

Xie Qifen's words added a bit of coldness: "That's right, your family is well-off, raising Dazhuang is not a problem, and her leaving will save you food."

It seems comforting on the surface, but in fact it is full of sarcasm, and any discerning person can hear the meaning behind it.

Zhao was very smart and could naturally hear the sarcasm in Xie Qifen's words. However, in this situation, it was not appropriate for her to get angry. She had to pretend that she didn't hear anything and buried all her unhappiness deep in her heart.

On the other side, Su Yu returned to the quiet room and listened to Xie Xinghua telling the story that shocked the village.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in her voice: "Run away?"

Xie Xinghua lowered her voice and confirmed, "Yes, people in the village are talking about it, saying that it was Zhao who said it herself, so it's probably true."

Su Yu sneered in her heart. Her intuition told her that Fang Qin's disappearance was no accident and it was most likely the work of the old woman Zhao.

After all, Zhao has a brother who is engaged in human trafficking. If he really wants to deal with Fang Qin, it would be an easy task.

However, Su Yu did not intend to interfere in this matter. She had her own judgment on Fang Qin's character and it was not worth her trouble.

After dinner, Su Yu began his daily acupuncture treatment, with Jiang Ziling being the first to be treated because his condition was relatively simple.

Next, it was Xier who needed careful care, after all, Xie Xinghua still had to prepare food for Jiang Wangshan.

Just as Su Yu had finished giving Xier four needles, Xie Xinghua rushed into the room, unable to conceal her excitement, "Second sister-in-law, Changping can control his bowels and bladder now!"

Su Yu heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Really?"

After Xie Xinghua's affirmative answers, she was also very relieved. "This is really good news, which shows that the treatment has begun to take effect. As long as the method is correct, there is hope for recovery."

Su Yu's words instantly ignited everyone's hope, especially Xie Xinghua, who had tears in her eyes. It was the relief of finally getting a response to her long-suppressed expectations.

Su Yu quickly comforted Xie Xinghua, who was in a state of emotional turmoil: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will do my best. You go and take care of his meals first, and I will give him acupuncture in the evening."

Xie Xinghua nodded heavily, choked in her throat, and turned and left.

If before this, she had only tried with a glimmer of hope, then now, the light of hope has truly shone into reality, making her heart excited.

In order to be able to respond to Jiang Wangshan's needs at any time, Xie Xinghua specially hung a small bell on the head of the bed. With a slight touch, it would make a crisp sound. No matter what she was doing, she would know immediately and come to help.

When night fell, Su Yu stepped into the room again with medical equipment. Jiang Wangshan used all his strength to greet her with difficulty: "Second, second sister-in-law, you are here~"

The voice was much clearer than before, revealing signs that his body was gradually recovering.

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Xie Xinghua: "How did you feel when feeding today?"

Her eyes were full of concern for Jiang Wangshan's recovery progress.

Since even his verbal expression has shown obvious improvement, this is undoubtedly a positive sign, indicating that his brain and facial nervous system are undergoing a subtle but steady recovery process.

Xie Xinghua's face was filled with unconcealable joy, and she answered excitedly: "Today, I clearly felt that he ate much faster, as if his mouth could open and close more freely than before, and swallowing food no longer seemed so laborious."

After learning about this series of gratifying changes, Su Yu responded gently but firmly: "Okay, this news is really encouraging. I will continue to pay attention to it."

Then, she carefully selected a set of small and sharp needles from the medical box she carried with her.
