Widow Wu didn't want to waste any more time and was eager to leave the hospital to see Baozi.

“Since Xiao Su said Baozi is fine, there’s nothing you can do if you go over now. You might as well wait until you’re better before you go and take care of Baozi.”

"At least finish the IV drip of this medicine, right?" Jiang Aiguo said in a deep voice as he stood at the door of the ward.

When Widow Wu saw that it was the village party secretary speaking, she instinctively became more obedient.

In this era, honest and simple farmers in rural areas still listen to their leaders.

Su Niannian helped Widow Wu lie back down on the hospital bed, and then gave Widow Wu acupuncture again.

"Thank you... thank you..." Widow Wu thanked Su Niannian.

Before Widow Wu fainted, she saw Su Niannian next to Baozi.

If Baozi is really alright now, then it must have been this female educated youth who saved him.

"Finish your acupuncture first, then go back and check on Baozi."

"Once Baozi's fever breaks and he wakes up and his mind clears, we'll find out who really caused his illness. At that time, Secretary Jiang will definitely stand up for you."

Su Niannian patted Widow Wu on the shoulder to comfort her.

In this day and age, it's not easy for a woman like this to raise a child alone.

If you still can't get fair treatment, then life will be too hard to bear.

“Yes, I will take care of this for you,” Jiang Aiguo assured him.

Actually, Jiang Aiguo didn't really care about this kind of thing before, because it was the village chief Li Guofu who was in charge.

The secretary was mainly responsible for paperwork, which was not within Jiang Aiguo's job scope.

But now that Jiang Aiguo has encountered it, he won't just sit idly by.

Even if the final conclusion is that Li Baobei hurt someone, he will still stand up for Baozi and her mother this time.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." Widow Wu was at a loss for words, only able to express her gratitude.

Seeing her like this, Su Niannian felt a little sorry for her and took out two more meat buns from her bag.

He handed it to Widow Wu.

Widow Wu quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I don't want this, you keep it for yourself."

"You'll recover faster if you eat this!" Su Niannian opened the oil paper package, took out a bun, and stuffed it into Widow Wu's hand.

“You eat it. When you were sick with steamed buns, you probably weren’t in the mood to eat a full meal either,” Su Niannian said again.

Widow Wu felt a lump in her throat as she listened to Su Niannian's kindness and gentle tone.

She was all alone in Kaoshan Village, with no family to rely on.

Her husband's family believed she was a jinx, having caused the death of their son, so they ignored her.

Even Baozi's family doesn't plan to acknowledge him, since he's not their only grandson anyway.

In this era, not only are girls worthless, but even some families with many sons feel that their sons are not very valuable either.

Don't even think about having Baozi's grandparents raise him.

This is why Widow Wu was even more neglected and pitiful.

"I'll save the steamed buns. I won't eat them," Widow Wu said, trying to put the steamed buns away.

"I saved some for the steamed buns, you can have these two."

"If you don't eat, I won't be happy. If I'm not happy, I won't be able to continue treating Baozi," Su Niannian pouted, pretending to be serious.

Upon hearing that Su Niannian was not going to eat steamed buns, Widow Wu immediately stuffed the meat bun in her hand into her mouth.

"I'll eat, I'll eat, don't refuse the steamed bun." Widow Wu was actually very simple and kind, but it was precisely because of this personality that she was more easily manipulated by her in-laws and bullied by others.

"Eat slowly, you'll get better, Baozi will get better too, and things will get better little by little."

Su Niannian looked at Widow Wu and felt truly distressed.

Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu felt sorry for Widow Wu when they saw her like this.

However, there really wasn't much they could do.

In this era, what we have in abundance is pitiful people.

Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu left the ward and sat on chairs in the corridor.

Each person ate a steamed bun to tide them over, and the remaining meat bun was put away by them.

I plan to take it back to my family to eat.

After Widow Wu finished her IV drip, Xu Chenggong also finished his.

Neither of them was seriously injured, so Jiang Aiguo prepared to return to the village.

Xu Chenggong originally wanted to stay in the county hospital for a few more days and have Widow Wu pay for his medical expenses.

"Don't you have any idea what kind of situation Widow Wu's family is in?"

"Do you still want to stay in the hospital and make her spend more money?" Jiang Aiguo stood at the door of Xu Chenggong's ward.

His brows were furrowed so deeply, Xu Chenggong was really...

"What are you saying, village secretary? That widow Wu came to my house to cause trouble and injured me like this. Shouldn't I be asked for medical expenses?"

"That's not all, I also want her to cover the cost of not being able to work in the fields for the next few months."

“If anything happens to my pig because I didn’t take good care of it during this time, she will be responsible!” Xu Chenggong said stubbornly, looking like a rogue.

But he didn't notice that his wife was sitting next to his hospital bed, tugging at his sleeve, her face full of unspeakable sorrow.

"Why are you pulling me? What did I say wrong? If you keep pulling me, believe me, I'll slap you!"

Xu Chenggong was not only famous for his burly physique, but also for beating his wife, a fact known far and wide.

Upon hearing her husband's words, Xu Chenggong's wife dared not make any further moves.

“That makes sense. If Widow Wu hadn’t gone to your house, you wouldn’t have been injured. Widow Wu should bear the cost!” Su Nian walked into the ward from behind Jiang Aiguo and said righteously.

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Xu Chenggong instinctively wanted to retort, but after he said it, he realized that the young educated youth was on his side.

Huh? Why is she siding with me?

Xu Chenggong's gaze lingered on Su Niannian.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his entire life.

She has fair skin, a pretty face, and a very pleasant voice.

For a moment, I was completely stunned.

At this moment, a tall figure blocked Su Niannian's view, cutting off Xu Chenggong's line of sight.

Xu Chenggong looked displeased, but when he saw that the person who came was Gu Nan, he subconsciously swallowed.

Xu Chenggong might not be afraid of others, but Gu Nan... is a man who can kill two wild boars in a row. It's impossible for him not to be afraid.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu instantly felt that it wouldn't be bad for Su Niannian and Gu Nan to be together.

Su Niannian is not only a good person, but also has a top-notch appearance and figure, so she must have many men eyeing her.

If you find someone else to be your partner, you might not be able to protect them.

But finding Gu Nan is different; his height, physique, strength, and cold demeanor are all striking.

If you want to get close to Su Niannian, you should carefully consider whether you can survive under Gu Nan's control.

From this perspective, Gu Nan really is a good match for Su Niannian...
