Aniu was placed in a room in the north courtyard, and Anliu came every day to diagnose and treat him, apply medicine and change the dressings.

Seeing that Song Yan was in much better health, Shu's mother also planned to go back to the Shu family.

Song Yan wanted to keep Shu's mother staying for a few more days. After all, there was an underground heating system on the farm, and the house was warm, much warmer than Shu's home.

Ke Shu's mother smiled and patted Song Yan's hand, saying, "Xiao Song, I know your kindness, but there are many things waiting for me to take care of at home, and I really can't delay. You and Chang Yu stay here and don't worry about me."

Song Yan couldn't force it any longer, so she and Shu Changyu sent Shu's mother to the carriage and watched her leave.

After seeing Shu's mother off, Song Yan turned around and went back to the village, going straight to the north yard to visit Aniu.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Ah Niu half leaning on the bed, holding a handkerchief in his hand, looking intently.

Song Yan coughed lightly and joked with a smile: "Aniu, what kind of precious handkerchief are you so fascinated by?"

Ah Niu suddenly came back to his senses, his face flushed to his ears, and he subconsciously stuffed the handkerchief into the quilt, stammering: "Song...Brother Song, no, nothing."

Song Yan walked to the bedside and sat down. She reached out to grab the quilt, pretending to snatch it away: "Hurry up and take it out so I can see it. Who knows which girl's gift it is."

Aniu couldn't resist, so he had to hand over the handkerchief with a red face.

Song Yan unfolded the handkerchief and saw an exquisite plum blossom pattern embroidered on it. The needlework was delicate and lifelike. She couldn't help but praise, "The embroidery is really good. This girl is very clever. Ah Niu, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Ah Niu lowered his head and whispered, "It was the daughter of the hunter Wang who saved me. She secretly gave it to me when I came back."

Song Yan suddenly realized and teased with a smile: "I can't tell, A Niu, the girl is interested in you. How do you feel about her?"

Ah Niu's face turned even redder, like a ripe tomato. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Mei Niang... Mei Niang is a good girl, gentle and kind, and she knows how to take care of people. I... I like her very much, too."

Song Yan patted Aniu on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Since you two love each other, when your injury is healed, let Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu go to propose marriage. Since you are so hardworking and diligent, Uncle Wang will definitely agree."

Ah Niu raised his head, a little worried: "Brother Song, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of her. I'm just a poor boy, and I'm injured. What if the Wang family dislikes me?"

Song Yan looked at Aniu seriously and said, "Aniu, don't underestimate yourself. You are kind and upright, and you are hardworking and able to endure hardships. These are rare qualities."

"Since Miss Wang took the initiative to give you a handkerchief, she must have seen your kindness. As long as you have this intention and work hard, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Besides, you are the manager of my manor. Your life will surely get better and better in the future. If the Wang family really dislikes you because of these, then they are short-sighted."

"But in my opinion, Miss Wang's intention in giving you this handkerchief is obvious. She is not the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich."

After hearing this, Ah Niu's eyes gradually became firm and he nodded vigorously: "Brother Song, you are right! When my injury heals, I will work hard and try to marry Miss Wang as soon as possible."

Song Yan smiled and nodded: "That's right. I will help you too, just tell me if you need anything. Just focus on healing and don't worry about other things."

"By the way, can you tell me how you and Miss Wang gradually became familiar with each other?" Song Yan looked curious, moved closer to the bed, and looked at Aniu with interest.

Ah Niu smiled shyly, his eyes full of tender memories: "Brother Song, it was actually Mei Niang who found me buried in the snow that night."

"The snowstorm was so heavy that I couldn't even open my eyes. I drove my car into a snow-covered ditch and was buried. I lost consciousness after that."

"When I woke up, I was already on the kang in Uncle Wang's house."

"Later, Mei Niang told me that she was on her way to deliver food to her father, and on the way she heard a faint cry for help. She followed the sound and found me almost buried in the snow."

Oh, Song Yan's eyes lit up and she became interested: "So, Mei Niang is your lifesaver. This is a deep bond! What happened next?"

Ah Niu scratched his head and continued, "She took great effort to pull me out of the snow pile, and then she ran back home to call her father. Uncle Wang brought tools and rescued me."

"When I first woke up, I felt weak all over, my legs were aching, and I couldn't speak clearly. Mei Niang stayed by my side, comforting me in a soft voice, saying that I would definitely get better..."

So the two of them just fell in love with each other?

Song Yan smiled and said, "This girl is really good. Ah Niu, you must cherish her."

After chatting with Ah Niu for a while, Song Yan saw that Ah Niu was a little tired, so she stood up and said goodbye: "You should have a good rest and don't think too much. Once your injury is healed, good things will come naturally."

As soon as I went out, I saw Aunt Niu standing at the door with a bowl of steaming chicken soup and a smile on her face.

Oh! Song Yan raised her eyebrows. Aunt Niu's face was almost wrinkled from laughing. She must have heard something about what was said just now.

Song Yan smiled and approached Aunt Niu, whispering, "Aunt Niu, your smile is almost like the word 'happy' written on your face. A Niu's matter has a clue, are you very happy?"

Aunt Niu gently patted Song Yan's shoulder and said happily, "How can I not be happy? A Niu has a girl he loves, and she is his savior. This is a great thing."

She raised the chicken soup in her hand and said, "I made this specially for Ah Niu to nourish him so that he can marry the girl sooner."

A few days later, Niu's condition improved significantly. He was able to walk around the house slowly and no longer needed to stay in bed all day.

It was a sunny day. Song Yan thought that Aniu had been bored in the house for a long time, so she went to the north yard to find him, intending to help him go out to the yard to bask in the sun.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Aniu standing at the door, staring into the distance in a daze, with a bit of shyness and expectation on his face.

"Aniu, what are you thinking about?" Song Yan walked forward with a smile.

Ah Niu came back to his senses and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Brother Song, I was thinking, when my injury is fully healed, what should I prepare to propose marriage."

Song Yan smiled and said, "You are really serious, kid. Don't worry, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu and I will help you plan it and we will definitely let you go to propose marriage in a grand manner."

As they were talking, Aunt Niu came out of the house, holding a new dress in her hand. She smiled and said, "Aniu, mother made you a new dress. Wear it when you propose marriage. Don't lose our manners."

Uncle Niu standing by also nodded, but didn't say anything, just smiled innocently.

Song Yan looked at Uncle Niu and joked, "Uncle Niu, you're going to have a daughter-in-law soon, and you don't say a word?"

Uncle Niu rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and after a long pause he said, "Okay, all is well."

Everyone was amused by Uncle Niu's brief words.

Aunt Niu scolded, "You are so taciturn, can't you say a few more words?"

Uncle Niu blushed and fell silent again.
