I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

She suddenly smiled, a radiant smile.

"I'm content with what you said. You're weak, so the prerequisite for treating your injuries is that you need to be in good health first. Get your body back in good shape before I start treating you."

He lowered his head in disappointment. She knew he was too eager for quick success and too desperate to live like a normal person as soon as possible.

She pushed him outside, placed the wheelchair down, and went to him, gently comforting him:

“I understand how you feel, but as you said, you’ve been bedridden for five years. There’s no rush. Given your current physical condition, I expect to give you about half a month of recuperation before we can try to treat your injuries.”

"really?"

Hope rekindled in his eyes.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

She spread her hands and gave a bitter smile.

"What would I gain from lying to you? Besides, what is there to lie about you? You're neither good-looking nor rich."

He lowered his head, feeling guilty. She was right; he really had nothing to lie about. The fact that she stayed by his side to take care of him was already a great favor to him.

After settling him in, Lan Zhi picked up a carrying pole and went out to fetch water.

The crowd that had been arguing outside the gate had dispersed, and she neither knew nor cared what the final outcome would be.

She's always been a pretty easygoing person. As long as others don't bother her, she doesn't care about their business. She's even less inclined to ask about the gossip and idle chatter of other people.

She walked through the village carrying a shoulder pole, and the villagers would point and whisper about her from time to time. She really couldn't understand where their suspicion and malice towards her came from.

Just then, Nie Yuan ran towards her and tried to snatch the carrying pole from her shoulder.

"Lan Zhi, this kind of work is not something a woman like you can do alone. Let me do it!"

She gripped the carrying pole tightly in her hands and shouted angrily.

"I have my own hands and feet, why would I need you? Get out of my way."

As she spoke, she prepared to continue forward, but Nie Yuan held on tightly to the carrying pole.

"You're too small for this kind of heavy work, let me do it, let me do it..."

At this moment, Xiangxiu also came over carrying a shoulder pole, and Lanzhi quickly said:

"Go help Xiangxiu! I don't need any help."

Xiangxiu bit her lip, standing there blushing, while Nie Yuan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Xiangxiu always carries the water herself. She's strong and doesn't need help. I'll help you."

He tried to take the load from Lan Zhi's shoulders again. Xiang Xiu stomped her feet angrily and strode towards the well. Lan Zhi glared at Nie Yuan unhappily at this.

"Are you out of your mind? Why are you helping me, the young wife, instead of the eldest daughter? Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about?"

"Let whoever wants to spread it spread it. Besides, you're not a timid young wife; you're no different from a young maiden..."

"roll!"

Lan Zhi could understand the meaning behind his words, and she knew his purpose in approaching her.

Although she did not consider Mo Ning her husband, she would not allow others to look down on him.

She carried her load to the well. Xiangxiu had already drawn the water. When she saw her coming, she angrily picked up her carrying pole and prepared to leave. But she stood by the well, troubled.

Because it was the first time she had ever seen a well like this, she had no idea how to draw water from it, nor did she know how to get the water out of the well.

She tried several times, but ultimately still didn't know what to do.

Just as she was looking down into the well with a troubled expression, Xiangxiu seemed to notice her predicament. She angrily put down her carrying pole, stormed over, and snapped at her.

"Step aside!"

She obediently stood aside, and Xiangxiu said angrily:

"First, lift the bucket up twice with your hands to make sure it's full of water, then grip the handle firmly with both hands and crank it upwards..."

Only after the bucket was rocked up did she lift it, pour the water into Lan Zhi's bucket, and throw it back into the well. Then she muttered to herself:

"You can't do anything, so why should everyone like you?"

Seeing Xiangxiu's flushed face, she couldn't help but laugh, while Xiangxiu glared at her resentfully.

"why are you laughing?"

She quickly seized the opportunity to grab Xiangxiu's hand and said in a flattering tone:

“It’s not that everyone likes me. It’s because they think I’m easy to take advantage of and want to bully me. You’re different from me. You have your parents around, so even if they want to bully you, they won’t dare.”

Xiangxiu shook off her hand, pouting as she reminded her.

"Go fetch some water, it'll get dark soon."

After saying those words, she picked up her carrying pole and swayed as she walked home.

Lan Zhi knew that Xiang Xiu was clever; she was just a little angry because Nie Yuan was showing her concern.

Following the method Xiangxiu had just taught her, she laboriously filled a bucket with water, thus filling both buckets.

She could walk normally with two empty buckets hanging on her shoulders, but with two buckets full of water hanging on her shoulders, she instantly lost her balance, slipped, and almost fell.

She took a deep breath, put the two buckets on the ground, and saw Nie Shuren carrying a shoulder pole walking towards her.

He went directly to her buckets, poured half a bucket of water from each bucket into his own, and then casually said:

"Why fill it so full? It's a waste to spill halfway through. Next time, fill it less and make more trips."

She knew that Village Chief Nie meant well in reminding her, so she smiled and nodded to him before carrying two half-buckets of water and swaying as she walked home.

Sitting in the courtyard, Mo Ning kept looking outside. For some reason, he would feel afraid whenever Lan Zhi was not by his side for a while, fearing that she would disappear forever and never come back.

At this moment, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Because he saw San Shunzi and Er Lvzi swagger in through the door. When they saw him, they first smiled maliciously, then looked him up and down. Er Lvzi began to murmur:

"Hey! You've been living in our village for five years. We've finally seen your true face. You're not much to look at, are you? You look neither human nor ghost."

San Shunzi snapped his fingers, threw his head back, and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! With your looks, you still have a beautiful wife by your side. She's all show and no substance, what a waste. Otherwise, how about we help you out?"

"roll!"

Mo Ning let out a roar from his throat.

"Get out."

"Hahaha!"

His words seemed to have no effect on the two people in front of him.

Erluzi slowly walked up to him, raised his hand and slapped his face, mocking him:

"Hey, this little face, all skin and bones, looks just like a zombie. How about this, we'll give you some silver, and you let us brothers have some fun with your wife?"

"roll!"

He used all his strength to utter the word, which made the two men laugh even more wildly.

"Hahaha! Don't you have some kind of evil magic? Last time we came we couldn't even get into the house, what's wrong this time? All you can do is tell us to get lost, don't you have any other tricks? Go ahead and attack us!"
