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

Mo Ning impatiently clenched his fists and then opened them, repeating this several times. Then he repeatedly closed and opened his eyes. When he was sure he wasn't dreaming, he looked up at Lan Zhi with tearful eyes.

"You are truly my lucky star, my fairy. I... I want to hug you as soon as my arms recover, is that alright?"

His request brought a smug smile to her lips.

She nodded, stretched out her arms, and threw herself into his embrace. His hands moved more slowly, but he gently held her tightly.

This was the first time he had hugged her, and the first time she had been embraced by him.

This embrace, though unrelated to romantic love, was full of deep affection.

At this moment, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Mo Ning's eyes were brimming with tears of happiness.

After a long while, she reluctantly broke free from his embrace.

"Alright, your hands have just recovered, so you can't overexert yourself. You need to rest for a while."

Mo Ning raised her hand to gently wipe away her tears, then scratched her nose and stroked her hair.

These simple actions were once incredibly difficult for him, almost like climbing to the heavens.

He couldn't believe it; he could now move his hands freely, which meant there was hope that he could stand up again.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes full of expectation as he gazed at her.

When will you treat my leg?

Looking into his eyes, which yearned for health like a child yearning for food, she couldn't help but smile.

"Didn't you doubt me before? What? Are you getting anxious now?"

He shook his head in shame.

“I didn’t doubt you before, I just didn’t believe I would ever see the light of day again, Lan Zhi. I really thought I would eventually die paralyzed in bed. I never dared to imagine that I could still move my hands, that I could stand up again.”

Seeing him waving his hands excitedly, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Your hands have just recovered, so it will take a few days before we can schedule surgery on your feet. But don't worry, we will definitely be able to get you standing up like a normal person by the end of this year."

As she said this, she glanced outside.

"Mao Mao hasn't come back yet. I'll take you for a walk around the village, and we can go see Mao Mao while we're at it!"

He shook his head somewhat timidly.

"I look like this..."

He was afraid others would laugh at him, so Lan Zhi quickly comforted him softly.

"Now that you can move your hands, I'll take you around the village so everyone can see for themselves and see for themselves that my medical skills aren't just for show. That way, it'll be good publicity for me."

If he could help her, he would do so without hesitation.

She pushed him out the door, and as they walked through the village, they frequently attracted the attention of the villagers.

In the center of the village stands a large locust tree, which serves as the village's information hub. In their spare time, villagers often sit under this locust tree and chat.

The women sitting under the big locust tree looked surprised when they saw her pushing Mo Ning out.

"Look, isn't that Mo Ning's wife?"

"It was her! Why did she push that cripple out?"

"That chair even has wheels; I've never seen anything like it before."

"This woman is shameless. Her husband is a good-for-nothing, yet she still parades him around like this. Doesn't she feel ashamed?"

"That's right, that's right. None of the girls in our village would do something like that."

"..."

Lan Zhi didn't care at all about the whispers around her.

She pushed Mo Ning to the front of the group and asked softly.

Has anyone seen my cat, Mao Mao?

Xiangxiuniang threw away the melon seed shells in her hand and shook her head.

"No, we've been sitting here all morning and haven't seen him."

Wu Erniang asked with a pout:

"Mo Ning's wife, why did you push him out? He's so frail, he shouldn't be going out. Quickly take him back!"

"Yes, look how thin he is, he probably doesn't even weigh as much as a three-year-old. We'd better make sure a gust of wind blows him away quickly!"

The seemingly concerned but actually sarcastic words from the crowd made Lan Zhi's lips curve into a perfect arc.

Very well, she knew these people would act this way.

She secretly tapped Mo Ning on the shoulder, and Mo Ning, understanding the gesture, raised his hands and shook his arms.

"Lan Zhi, it's really windy here. If you talk too much, you might accidentally slip up and say something you shouldn't. Let's go back!"

All eyes were drawn to his hands, and Wu Erniang couldn't help but nudge Wang Pozi beside her with her elbow.

"Quick...look, am I...seeing things? Why do I see his hand moving?"

Granny Wang nodded hastily as well.

“I saw it too, his hand moved. Isn’t he supposed to be unable to move his whole body except his head? How did he move?”

Xiangxiuniang, even more curious, came to Mo Ning's side, looking at his freely moving hands as if they were some rare object, and asked in surprise,

"Mo Ning's wife, what's wrong with his hand?"

Lan Zhi replied casually:

"I'm a doctor, how could I let my man become a useless piece of trash? Alright, I'm going to find Mao Mao now, you two can continue your conversation!"

After saying those words, she turned and left, pushing her wheelchair. Everyone stared blankly in the direction the two of them had gone, as if they hadn't reacted yet.

After a while, Wu Erniang raised her sleeve to wipe her eyes and muttered to herself:

"Could this girl really know medicine? Can she cure that good-for-nothing?"

Xiangxiuniang shook her head.

"Impossible. Over the years, Mo Ningniang has consulted countless doctors, and every single one of them said he was beyond saving. How could a woman like her heal his hand?"

Granny Wang clicked her tongue.

"But his hand can really move, it's not fake, how did this happen?"

"In my opinion, it's possible that Ling Lanzhi really received divine teachings. Didn't the village chief say that his illness was completely cured after taking her medicine?"

Upon hearing the mention of the village chief, Wu Erniang immediately curled her lip and snorted.

"Can you really believe what he says? He's only speaking up for Mo Ning because he thinks her is young and pretty and has ulterior motives towards her."

Xiangxiuniang rolled her eyes at her.

"If that miser hears this, I'll tear your mouth apart before I go home. Don't get covered in blood later."

After saying this, Xiangxiuniang got up and left, and the women there scattered in a panic.

However, the sudden recovery of Mo Ning's hands caused quite a stir in the village.

By noon, Mao Mao still hadn't returned. Lan Zhi was getting anxious and kept running to the gate to check, but she couldn't find Mao Mao anywhere.

She asked Xiaoxin to look for it for her. Xiaoxin told her that Mao Mao was not in Kangzhuang Village and that she couldn't go to look for it because it couldn't go to places too far from its owner.

Where could he go?

Lan Zhi was a little anxious, pacing back and forth in the room.

"This child has been gone all morning, where did he go? It's driving me crazy with worry."

Mo Ning raised his hand and gently touched his forehead, murmuring:

"Could it be that he left?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhi became even more anxious.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let him go. What if he really left? No, I have to go find him."

"You don't know which direction he went, how are you going to find him?"

"We can't just sit here and wait to die. What if something happens to him?"

The more Lan Zhi talked, the more anxious she became. Just as she was pacing around in a panic, she suddenly heard Mao Mao shouting.

"Sister, Sister Lanzhi."
