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

As Wu Juan shoved her into the house, Nie Yuan had already begun kowtowing to Nie Shuren.

"Dad, I'm sorry I'm late. I should have come back to see you when I went back to the village yesterday, but I didn't even go inside. I was wrong, I was wrong."

At this point, Nie Yuan began slapping his own face. "Dad, I was wrong. I was too reckless before and caused you a lot of worry. I will take good care of Mom and this family from now on."

Seeing this, Wu Juan gripped Lan Zhi's arm tightly, pushing her away with barely concealed grief, shouting as she did so.

"Kneel down, you little vixen."

Although Lan Zhi didn't want to admit it, and she didn't think her medicine could kill the village chief, since he was an elder, it was only right for her to kneel down and kowtow to him.

Just as she was about to kneel down, Nie Shuren suddenly coughed, then opened his eyes and stood up in surprise.

"what!"

Upon seeing this, those standing in the outer room and those watching from the windows all screamed.

"Ghost!"

Everyone scattered in a panic. Wu Juan blinked hard, while Nie Yuan stood up from the ground, walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and looked at Nie Shuren, whose face was rosy.

"Father, you're not dead?"

Nie Shuren glared at him, annoyed.

"Are you hoping your father will die and come back to inherit the family fortune? You unfilial son."

In the past, if Nie Shuren had scolded him like this, he would have been furious, argued with Nie Shuren, and then stormed out of the house.

But today, he found his father's scolding voice particularly pleasant, and he even felt like he couldn't get enough of it.

Nie Yuan burst into laughter through his tears.

"Dad, you're really not dead? You're still alive, that's wonderful."

Wu Juan couldn't believe her eyes. She pinched her cheek hard and hissed.

"Is this a dream, Shuren? You're really not dead?"

Before Nie Shuren could respond, he saw Lan Zhi standing before him, bound hand and foot. He immediately shouted angrily.

"Who did this?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Juan was at a loss for words, so Nie Yuan quickly went to help her untie the rope.

The villagers, who had just scattered, mustered their courage again and peered through the windows into the house. Sun Changsheng squeezed through the crowd, came up to Nie Shuren, slapped his thigh, and said with a wry smile:

"This...this person was perfectly fine, how...how could they say he's dead? We almost brought the coffin back."

Old Hu was also there complaining.

"We haven't even figured out what's going on yet, and they've already called everyone here. We've been up all night."

Zhao Xiaofang couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"You grown men are really something. Wu Juan lost her composure. Couldn't you have checked what was going on before you started working? This is such a mess."

From everyone's conversation, Nie Shuren finally understood that he hadn't slept so soundly in a long time, and Wu Juan thought he had been poisoned by Lan Zhi's medicine, which led to this big misunderstanding.

Nie Yuan had already untied Lan Zhi's ropes, but Wu Juan angrily rebuked her:

"Shuren, this little vixen is trying to kill you! Let's send her to the authorities!"

"Shut up."

Nie Shuren interrupted her.

“I took the medicine she gave me last night and slept very well. If it weren’t for all this trouble you’ve caused, I would have been able to sleep until the evening. Why are you taking her to see the authorities? You should be thanking her.”

Everyone present was confused by his words, and Wu Juan shook her head in protest.

"Impossible, you clearly fell into a coma after drinking her medicine."

"Bullshit, I told you, I was asleep. I haven't slept this soundly in more than half a year."

Having said this, he got off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on his shoes, went outside, and shouted loudly to the people standing outside:

"Mo Ning's wife cured my insomnia at night, which shows that she has medical skills. I hereby announce that Ling Lanzhi will temporarily take over as the village's barefoot doctor. Anyone with a headache or fever can go to her."

Lan Zhi immediately felt a sense of relief, as if she had turned misfortune into blessing. She bowed deeply to everyone and said with a serious expression:

"Anyone who feels unwell can come to me. I don't charge for medical consultations, but I charge for prescriptions."

Upon hearing this, the crowd began to whisper among themselves. Nie Yuan, standing beside her, asked in surprise,

"You know medicine? How come I didn't know that?"

"Am I familiar with you?"

Nie Yuan scratched his head sheepishly.

We weren't close before, but we are now, and we'll become even closer in the future.

Lan Zhi ignored him. Although everyone was skeptical of Nie Shuren's words, no one dared to speak out.

The farce finally came to an end, and everyone went home to prepare for breakfast. Before Lan Zhi left, Nie Shuren called her back.

“Mo Ning’s wife, Wu Juan had you kidnapped. It was her fault. I’m making her apologize to you now. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against her.”

Nie Shuren probably knew that Lan Zhi was a vengeful person, and he was afraid that she would cause trouble for Wu Juan later!

Lan Zhi shook her head indifferently.

"This was a misunderstanding. Aunt Wu acted impulsively. There's no need for an apology. I'll go back and cook for Mo Ning now."

After she finished speaking, just as she was about to turn around, Nie Yuan called out to her.

"Lan Zhi, I'll take you there."

Wu Juan immediately pulled him aside.

"You just got back and haven't even had a chance to spend time with your parents yet. Why are you sending her off? Her house isn't far from here. How could she possibly get lost?"

After saying that, she didn't forget to roll her eyes at Lan Zhi.

Since Lan Zhi was already prepared to reject Nie Yuan, Wu Juan's words saved her a lot of trouble.

When she got home, Mo Ning was lying in bed anxiously.

He heard someone knocking on the door in the morning, and he knew that Lan Zhi had gone out, but she hadn't come back for so long. He didn't know what had happened, and could only lie in bed anxiously.

Hearing Lan Zhi's footsteps as she returned, he eagerly looked towards the door. Only after seeing her enter the house did his heart finally settle down. He then asked...

"What happened?"

Lan Zhi didn't have time to answer him. She quickly went to the bedside and asked softly.

Do you feel the urge to defecate?

He shook his head hastily.

"No, what happened?"

She then helped him sit up, placed a pillow behind him, and sat on the edge of the bed to tell him what had just happened.

Only after listening to the whole thing did Mo Ning grit his teeth and say:

"They actually tied you up with ropes, and in front of the whole village? This is absolutely outrageous, absolutely outrageous."

Lan Zhi shook her head and smiled.

“I think this is a good thing. Now everyone in the village knows that I can cure diseases. I’m going to be a barefoot doctor. Maybe one day business will come to my door.”

Mourning, however, was not optimistic about this.

"Although Village Chief Nie is safe and sound, most people will not easily believe you."

"Most people don't believe it, but it's enough if a few do. Besides, I don't charge consultation fees, only a small amount for medicine. Once everyone accepts me, things will be fine."

Before she could finish speaking, she stood up from the bed. "Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

She yawned as she spoke, and he quickly shook his head.

"I'm not hungry, you go and get some sleep!"

"You need nutrition right now. Skipping a meal can affect the healing of your wound."

After saying those words, she turned and left. Watching her frail figure disappear into the distance, he felt a pang of heartache.
