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

She rushed out the door, only to see Old Wu handing her a letter from outside.

“I just met the messenger at the village entrance and brought your letter back with me.”

Lan Zhi quickly took the letter, "Thank you, Uncle Wu."

Standing in the courtyard, she eagerly opened the letter, and its contents instantly brought tears to her eyes.

This letter wasn't sent by Ling Jiachuan, but by Mo Ning's mother, Aunt Mo.

"Lan Zhi, I'm sorry, by the time you read this letter, I may have already left this world, leaving Ning'er in your care. I feel terrible, but I have no choice, because I have something very important to do, something I must do myself."

By the time you receive this letter, the two-month period we agreed upon will have passed, and you will have fulfilled your obligations. If you no longer wish to care for Ning'er, then find a way to end his life. I will wait for him on the road to the underworld and tell him that I am sorry…”

After reading the letter, Lan Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

This letter absolutely cannot be seen by Mo Ning, otherwise it will affect his mood, and her plan to perform surgery on him this afternoon will have to be temporarily put on hold.

Thinking of this, she stuffed the letter into her pocket, wiped away the remaining tears on her face with her sleeve, and went back into the house as if nothing had happened.

Upon seeing her return, Mo Ning hurriedly pressed her for details.

"Who sent the letter?"

Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Lan Zhi said:

"My older brother, Ling Jiawei, is letting me know he's safe."

"Oh."

Mo Ning was clearly a little disappointed, and Lan Zhi quickly broke the somewhat somber atmosphere.

"Mao Mao, you're free this afternoon, you can go to the village and play with the kids for a while."

"I dont go."

Mao Mao pouted, looking very aggrieved.

"Why?"

"They all say I'm a wild child, I don't want to play with them anymore, a bunch of ignorant people."

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhi's brows furrowed slightly.

“If anyone dares to say that to you again, just tell them that you have a loving brother and a sister who loves you. You are not an orphan; you are the happiest person in the world.”

Mao Mao shook his head, seemingly unconcerned.

"There's no need to explain to them, and I don't want to be friends with them. This afternoon, while you treat Brother Mo Ning's injuries, I'll stay outside and keep watch so no one disturbs you."

Mao Mao's sensible manner made Lan Zhi feel sorry for him.

"Alright, let's work together to make our family's life prosperous and send all those who look down on us to hell!"

Mentioning ghosts, Mao Mao couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister, why was that chair hot when that person touched it this morning? Do you have any tricks up your sleeve?"

She raised her hand and tapped Mao Mao's head twice.

"You brat, your Lan-jie is a reincarnated female ghost."

"I don't believe it. You're more like a fairy reincarnated, right, Brother Mo Ning?"

Mo Ning's lips curved into a slight smile, the gloom on her face vanishing, and she quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, your sister Lan Zhi is not only a fairy, but also my savior."

Mao Mao nodded eagerly.

"My sister is also my savior."

Lan Zhi immediately frowned, offering a displeased reminder.

"You two, stop flattering me. We're family now, so where does this talk of benefactors come from? If anyone says anything like that again, I'll turn against them."

Mao Mao reacted quickly and immediately changed her tune.

"Yes, we are family. We can't be two-faced. Brother Mo Ning, our family is getting better and better now. Once you've recovered, you and Sister Lan can have a little brother. Then I can be your uncle."

"flutter……"

These words nearly made Lan Zhi spit out the water she had just taken a sip of. She reached up and pinched Mao Mao's ear.

"You little rascal, you know quite a lot. Are you in such a hurry to become an uncle?"

"Sister, it hurts, it hurts..."

Mo Ning watched the two of them frolicking, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

For the past five years, he had never thought of getting married and having children. Now, looking at the woman in front of him who had been so kind to him, his heart began to soften and stir. He even fantasized about living a life with her, where they would work the fields and weave, enjoying romantic moments under the moon and flowers.

In the afternoon, Lan Zhi prepared to perform leg surgery on Mo Ning, while Mao Mao sat in the yard in a daze.

Mo Ning lay on the bed, watching Lan Zhi busy at work, and asked softly.

"How long am I going to sleep this time?"

"Seven days."

Her answer, given without hesitation, made his heart tighten.

This means he will not see her for seven days.

"Then... take good care of yourself these next few days."

Although he couldn't help her in any way, he felt at peace just to see her every day.

He needs to sleep for seven days after the surgery, and he's unsure what will happen during those seven days, so he's always feeling uneasy.

Before she prepared to insert the needles, she gently reminded him,

"Mo Ning, this surgery is very important for you. Don't be nervous or afraid. No matter what, I will be by your side."

Her words were so gentle they could melt your heart; he looked at her and nodded emphatically.

"Lan Zhi, if I ever stand up again, I will cherish you for the rest of my life."

She smiled, a radiant smile.

After spending time together, she developed indescribable feelings for this somewhat sensitive and childish man.

She treated him like family, because she relied on his territory for a living, and he relied on her medical care to survive.

Their current relationship is characterized by mutual dependence and mutual support, yet there's also a sense that neither can live without the other.

If this relationship could be called love? It seems a little short. She felt she didn't love him to the point of being unforgettable, and she wasn't even that desperate to fall in love so easily with a man with a physical disability.

Let's find something somewhere between love and family!

That's how she defined their relationship in her mind.

With a smile on his lips and anticipation in his eyes, he slowly closed them under the influence of the anesthesia.

Lan Zhi called out softly,

"Xiaoxin, prepare for surgery."

Xiao Xin appeared as promised, bringing her operating room with her.

This was his second surgery, and Lan Zhi felt much better than before.

Bored while waiting outside, Mao Mao picked up a broom and started sweeping the yard, even cleaning up every single blade of grass.

Just as he was catching his breath, Wu Erniang rushed over.

"Kid, where's your sister Lan Zhi? Quickly call her for me."

Mao Mao tilted her little head and looked at her.

"what?"

"It's urgent, get her out here quickly."

"She also has an emergency and can't come out."

"What's wrong with you, kid? Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

"What's wrong with you, an adult? Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

"you……"

Wu Erniang, angered by Mao Mao, reached out to open the door, but Mao Mao stopped her.

"Are you still going to force your way in? I'm going to call for help."

“Oh, you silly child, how can I say I’m forcing my way in? Mo Ning’s wife is a doctor, I’ve come to see her for treatment.”

She is not seeing patients this afternoon.

"But the patient can't wait. Let me in quickly, or someone will die."

After saying that, Wu Erniang raised her hand and shoved Mao Mao. Mao Mao was instantly angered and stepped forward to shove her back.

"You're being unreasonable. Get out now, or I'll call for help."

Wu Erniang also pointed at him and roared angrily.

"You're being unreasonable! I'm a guest here, how can you kick me out? Kid, get out of my way right now, or I'll hit you."

After saying that, she stood in the yard and started shouting.

"Lan Zhi, come out quickly, I need to talk to you urgently, come out quickly."
