Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 162 Clearing Up
As the number of patients in the neighboring city decreased, Su Yaoguang and others finally had some free time.

Su Yaoguang found the government officials and explained to them that the disease here was under control. As long as the patients took the medicine on time according to the prescription given by Jiang Jing, the remaining patients would be completely cured.

She meant that they were no longer needed here. Rather than having people from the outer city stay here to do good deeds, it would be better to arrange for her own trusted confidants to do good deeds here. This way, the imperial envoy would be more convinced that she was a good official who loved the people like his own children.

The magistrate was indeed moved by her words and agreed to let them go home.

As soon as the magistrate agreed, Su Yaoguang and the others packed their things and left the neighboring city without stopping, heading home.

Zhang Zhaodi leaned against the carriage wall, rubbing her arms, and said, "I'm so tired, so tired. I need to rest properly when I get back. Let's close the shop for a few days!"

"Boss Su...the great philanthropist Su..."

"Madam Zhang..."

"Dr. Jiang, is Dr. Jiang inside?"

The carriage was blocked at the city gate.

Su Yaoguang lifted the curtain and looked outside at the crowd of men, women, and children, asking loudly, "What happened?"

The carriage was driven by Zhou Wangshu and Wang Huanzhi. The people recognized these two faces, so they knew whose carriage it was and who was inside, and thus the carriage was surrounded.

"Mr. Su, are you going home?"

Su Yaoguang recognized these people as patients she had cared for before; their faces still bore marks of pustules of varying depths.

“Yes, we have to go home now. Everyone, come visit us sometime. It’s fate that we met, and we’ll be friends when we meet again.” Su Yaoguang said with a smile, “Don’t mind the scars on your faces. My family owns a rouge shop, and we have a face cream for covering marks. If you come, I’ll know you’re old friends when I see the marks on your faces, and I’ll only charge you the cost price.”

"Boss Su, Doctor Jiang, Madam Zhang, you all are such kind people, we will never forget your kindness. You saved our lives."

"These are homemade mutton buns. Please take them with you on the road. I hope you won't mind that our cooking is a bit rough."

“These are vegetables that my family grows ourselves. You can take some with you and add them to your meals when you get home.”

“These are sheep I raised myself. You can take one home and eat mutton.”

……

Seeing that the situation was getting a little out of control, Su Yaoguang quickly thanked everyone for their kindness and said, "Everyone, we appreciate your kindness. You've just recovered from a serious illness and need to recuperate. Please take these things home and eat them yourselves. Once you're fully recovered and your family businesses are doing well, you're welcome to come visit me again. Alright, we need to hurry, or it'll get dark."

Zhou Wangshu brandished his whip and shouted, "Excuse me, please make way! This horse is startled, be careful it doesn't kick you!"

The horse wasn't startled, of course, but Zhou Wangshu wanted to startle it, and it was startled. Seeing the horse trotting wildly, the people, fearing it might hurt Su Yaoguang and the others, quickly made way and watched them ride away.

After leaving the neighboring city, the group looked at each other and smiled.

Jia Chunni leaned against Zhang Pandi's lap and closed her eyes happily.

Life is so good now.

Recently, she has rarely dreamed about the days when her father and grandmother beat and scolded her.

She still does a lot of work, but before, she not only had to do all sorts of rough and tiring jobs, but she was also cursed as a "money-losing burden," and was constantly humiliated and whipped, as if she shouldn't exist. She was the one in the family who ate the worst food, and she never wore a nice piece of clothing growing up. But now it's different. Now she still does a lot of work, but they call her a living Bodhisattva, a good girl, a little fairy. She can eat her fill every day, and she can eat lots of meat. She also has new clothes to wear, instead of wearing ill-fitting clothes and shoes, and not daring to lift her head.

"Wangshu, you and your uncle take turns rushing. Take a rest when you're tired," Zhang Zhaodi called out.

"Don't worry, Mother, I know," Zhou Wangshu said. "You two get some sleep, we'll wake you up when we get there."

Wang Huanzhi was talking to Zhou Wangshu. "After we get back, you'll be going back to the academy, right?" Wang Huanzhi asked.

Zhou Wangshu said, "Yes, that's what I think."

"Would you go on a scientific expedition?"

"meeting."

Are you confident?

Zhou Wangshu smiled and said, "I'm really not confident about my limited knowledge. Uncle, what about you? What are your thoughts?"

"Don't laugh at me, but I feel much better lately and I'm planning to give it a try," Wang Huanzhi said. "My wife has suffered a lot with me, and I want to make something of myself for her."

“I’ve long heard of your talent, Uncle. If it weren’t for your health holding you back, your name would surely be on the list of successful candidates,” Zhou Wangshu said. “Uncle will definitely succeed.”

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the county town, the key had already been put in.

The guards on the city wall saw a carriage appear and shouted, "The city gates are closed for today. You may enter the city tomorrow."

"Okay, let's find a place to rest," Zhou Wangshu said.

"Wait a minute...this voice sounds like Brother Zhou's?" Officer Qian asked. "Are you from Taoyaofang?"

Zhou Wangshu said, "Brother Qian, it's us. You can't even recognize my voice?"

"Open the door, open the door. They are from Taoyao Workshop. The master said that we must open the door and let them in whenever they come back."

The city gates opened, and Constable Qian led several officers out to greet them.

"Brother Zhou, Boss Su, you're back."

Su Yaoguang lifted the curtain and replied with a smile, "That's right. No matter how good things are outside, there's no place like home. If I don't come back soon, I'll go crazy from being cooped up."

"The magistrate is worried about you all the time and has even sent people to inquire about your whereabouts," said Constable Qian. "Enough of that. You should go back and rest. We can catch up another day."

"Alright, see you later."

Su Yaoguang and others returned to Taoyaofang.

Now that the epidemic is over, the city has returned to its usual bustling state.

As their carriage pulled into their house, they saw a large number of guests arriving at Fenghua Pavilion across the street.

"Pah! They got a free ride while we were away," Zhang Zhaodi said with a displeased look. "We'll open the shop tomorrow. We absolutely can't let them steal our business."

“Mother, didn’t you say you were tired and wanted to rest for a few days?” Su Yaoguang said with a smile.

"I just can't stand seeing Zhong Lanhua so smug."

“She can earn her money, we can earn ours. Anyway, they can’t steal our customers. Besides, we just got back and we’re opening the shop right away, people will think we’re having a great time! We went out to do good deeds, so of course we should promote ourselves properly. We can open the shop tomorrow, but we’ll tell everyone that we just got back and need to close for half a month, but you can place orders in advance,” Su Yaoguang said.

The commotion at Taoyaofang reached Fenghuage across the street as well.

Zhong Lanhua stood at the door, watching the carriage from Taoyaofang enter, and spat, "Why didn't they die outside?"
