My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

"Old Man Jiang, your distant relatives have arrived." The villager who led Xia Biao was a small old man. As soon as they arrived at Jiang's house, he shouted loudly.

After shouting, he shook his head and said to Xia Biao, "The only son of the Jiang family has joined the army and gone to serve in the military. Only the old couple of the Jiang family are left at home with Jiang Liu's wife and child."

Old Jiang's wife has poor eyesight, and the Jiang family was already struggling financially. Then, a few days ago, Jiang Liu's son went to work in the fields with the adults and somehow broke his leg.

Jiang's daughter-in-law ran several miles to fetch a doctor to treat her son.

I heard that they sold a lot of their grain to pay for their son's medical treatment, but the child's leg hasn't gotten better, and the whole family is really worried!

As they were talking, a thin old man with a worried face came out of the mud house.

Xia Biao didn't need any introductions; he knew the old man was definitely Jiang Liu's father. His appearance bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Liu's.

"Uncle, I've finally found you." Xia Biao strode forward and grabbed Jiang Laoshi's hand.

The old man who had led the way earlier said, "Jiang Laoshi, this young man said he is a distant relative of yours. He asked me about you at the village entrance, so I brought him here."

Jiang Laoshi's eyes were full of doubt; his Jiang family didn't have any distant relatives. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw Xia Biao wink at him, and at the same time, he slightly tightened his grip on Jiang Laoshi's hand.

Jiang Laoshi didn't voice the question that was on the tip of his tongue. He suppressed the doubt in his eyes, studied Xia Biao for a moment, and said, "You child... what brings you here?"

The old man who led the way, seeing that the man was indeed a relative of the Jiang family, asked a few more questions about the situation of Jiang Laoshi's grandson before leaving.

After he left, Jiang Laoshi asked, "Who are you?"

"Uncle, let's go inside and talk." Xia Biao let go of his hand and said in a low voice, "It was Liu Zi who asked me to come."

Upon hearing that it was his own son who had asked him to bring it back, Jiang Laoshi's wrinkled eyes instantly filled with tears.

His voice trembled as he asked, "Has something happened to my sixth son, so I'm asking you to come back?"

Xia Biao hadn't expected him to misunderstand, and hurriedly said, "That's not true, Uncle. Don't cry. Let's go inside and talk about it slowly. I was asked by Liu Zi to come back for this, and we can't let outsiders know about it."

"Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk." Jiang Laoshi wiped away his tears and led Xia Biao back into the house.

"Old man, who's here?" Old Mrs. Jiang asked as she slowly emerged from the room, leaning on her cane with one hand and feeling her way along the wall with the other.

Jiang Laoshi didn't answer immediately, but went to look at Xia Biao, wondering if his wife would know about Liu Zi's request for him to come back.

After seeing his expression, Xia Biao said, "It's okay if only family members know, the key is not to let outsiders know. It's not good if outsiders find out."

Jiang Laoshi then turned around and closed the door to the main room. After the door was closed, he helped his wife up and said, "It was Liu Zi who asked someone to come back, but I don't know what it's about."

Upon hearing that her son had sent someone to bring her back, Old Mrs. Jiang was so excited that she wiped away tears. Just like Old Mr. Jiang, she hurriedly asked if her son had encountered any trouble.

Jiang Liu's wife, who was taking care of her son in the room, also rushed out from the inner room to ask her husband what was wrong.

Xia Biao hurriedly opened the bundle, took out ten large white steamed buns, and said to them, "Liu Zi is fine. He just asked me to bring you some steamed buns back."

This was a reward from the adults to him. He said it was the first time he'd ever tasted something so good and he wanted to bring it back for his family to try. I happened to be passing by your neighborhood, so I brought it back for him.

Looking at the steamed buns in front of them and listening to Xia Biao's words, the Jiang family members were all stunned.

After a long while, Jiang Laoshi finally reacted, wiping away his tears and saying, "My sixth son has made something of himself! He's received a reward. This is incredible!"

Grandma Jiang was also very excited and kept wiping away tears.

Xia Biao knew that some of the elderly people in the village loved to go out and show off how successful their children and grandchildren were.

They boast about everything that happens to their family, and sometimes they even exaggerate it when they tell others.

He hurriedly instructed, "Liu Zi did something and received a reward from our lord, but you must not tell anyone. If you do, not only will your whole family be in danger, but Liu Zi will also be in danger in the army."

The Jiang family didn't understand why they couldn't tell anyone about the reward. But since it concerned their safety, they did whatever Xia Biao told them to do.

They all hurriedly assured each other that they would definitely not tell anyone.

Xia Biao told them to put the steamed buns away and asked if something had happened at their home, saying that he would definitely help if he could.

The Jiang family was extremely worried, but after hearing these words, they felt as if they had seen a savior.

Jiang Laoshi hurriedly told Xia Biao about his grandson's injured leg.

"The doctor said my son's legs will never be usable again. What should we do? The child will be crippled now, his life is over."

Grandma Jiang pounded her chest, saying it was all her fault. If she hadn't had bad eyesight and hadn't kept a close eye on her grandson, he wouldn't have broken his leg.

Jiang Liu's wife didn't say anything, but silently wiped away her tears.

"May I go see the young master?" Xia Biao looked at the Jiang family and felt a rare pity for them.

This family is really in a terrible situation.

Jiang Laoshi quickly agreed and led Xia Biao into the inner room, asking as they went, "Is this young man a doctor?"

Xia Biao said, "No, but after living on the edge of death for so long, I've become somewhat familiar with it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Laoshi naturally assumed that Xia Biao was also in the military.

Thinking of his own son living the same life away from home, and the possibility of losing his life at any moment, his expression became even more sorrowful.

Xia Biao soon saw the child lying on the bed.

The child looked only four or five years old, with dry, yellow hair, and lay on the bed, skin and bones.

Upon seeing Jiang Liu's wife return, the child said pitifully, "Mom, my legs hurt so much."

Jiang Liu's wife choked up for a moment, then took out a steamed bun and said, "Goudan, look what your mother brought you? This is a white flour steamed bun. Eat some, and you'll feel better."

As she spoke, she broke off a small piece and fed it to her son.

After eating the soft steamed bun, Gou Dan's pain seemed to lessen.

He said, "Mom, the white steamed buns are so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious steamed buns before."

Seeing her son's expression, Jiang Liu's wife, who had been holding back her tears, let them fall again.

Xia Biao sighed inwardly.

He went over and checked Gou Dan's injured leg.

No wonder the doctor the Jiang family hired said he would be crippled from now on; the fall was just too severe.

Such a severe injury is beyond the capabilities of most doctors.

However, it would certainly be no problem for his master.

"How is it?" The Jiang family members looked at Xia Biao nervously.
