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

Chapter 235 Memory
For three consecutive days, the man remained unconscious.

Zhang Zhaodi fed the man the medicinal soup, and just then Jiang Jing came in to give him a follow-up examination.

"Jing'er, is this person really alright?"

"Don't worry, Mother. He suffered a severe head injury before, and this time he injured himself again. The new injury plus the old one, plus the medicine he was given, is why he needs time to recover. Once the remaining toxins in his body are expelled, he will wake up."

As soon as Jiang Jing finished speaking, Su Rende, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

He sat up abruptly and vomited into the mouth of someone nearby.

"vomit……"

He vomited a pool of foul blood.

Zhang Zhaodi patted the man's back and said to Jiang Jing, "Is this the expulsion of residual toxins?"

"Yes, Mother, he's alright now."

"That's good." Zhang Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the face in front of her and said coldly, "Now that you're awake, you can leave in a bit! You collapsed in front of my house, and it was my family who saved you. My daughter examined you and got you medicine, and I served you your medicine and soup. All in all, it probably cost about two taels of silver. You have a purse on your waist, so I'll just take two taels of silver from it and we'll even things out."

Su Rende stared intently at the woman in front of him, not even blinking.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did you hear what I said?" Zhang Zhaodi glared at Su Rende.

This person looks exactly like her dead husband, but no matter how similar they look, it's not him. It's better to let him leave as soon as possible.

"Who are you?" Su Rende asked.

"What's it to you?" Zhang Zhaodi said fiercely. "Do you think you can just stay at my house?"

"No..." Su Rende's head throbbed with pain, and he pounded it a few times in agony. "It hurts so much... my head..."

"Jing'er, what's wrong with him?" Zhang Zhaodi asked.

“He suffered a severe blow to the head, and there was some blood stasis blocking his brain. This time, he hit himself, and the blood stasis dispersed, and his brain is recovering. However, this will take time. It may take three to five days to fully recover, or it may take a year or two. It’s hard to say.”

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We're just too kind-hearted and picked him up."

“Mother…” Su Yaoguang strode in. “How is the person you picked up…”

Su Yaoguang swallowed the words she was about to say.

"General Su?"

Su Rende recognized Su Yaoguang: "It's you, little girl."

"Do you know each other?" Zhang Zhaodi asked.

“Mother, he is the Great General Protector of the Nation,” Su Yaoguang said. “Last time I went to him to seek justice, he even helped me get justice.”

"So you are the Great General Protector of the Nation," Zhang Zhaodi said. "Thank you for helping my daughter last time. Of course, it's what you should do. As the Great General Protector of the Nation, it's your dereliction of duty for the women in your household to bully ordinary people."

Su Yaoguang and Jiang Jing exchanged a glance.

Zhang Zhaodi seems unusually irritable today.

Su Rende looked at Zhang Zhaodi and said, "I don't know why, but I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

Zhang Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat: "It's probably because I look too ordinary, with faces like that everywhere, that General Su had such a misconception."

"Does Madam dislike this general?"

"You've been lying here being waited on by us for three days, what do I owe you?"

Su Rende said awkwardly, "I will thank you for your kindness, Madam."

"No need, you just need to leave early." After Zhang Zhaodi finished speaking, she said to Jiang Jing, "Keep an eye on him, and after he leaves, have someone clean this place up and remove the illness." "I understand, Mother."

Su Yaoguang realized that her mother disliked General Su. Was it because he was a military officer, or because of what happened last time?

After Zhang Zhaodi left, Su Rende looked at Su Yaoguang and asked, "Is your mother so disgusted with me because of what happened last time?"

"My mother is probably in a bad mood lately; she didn't mean to target the general."

"By the way, little girl, what's your name?" Su Rende asked. "I didn't have a chance to ask you last time."

"My name is Su Yaoguang."

"Su? You're also surnamed Su?"

“Yes!” Su Yaoguang laughed, “But my Su is very ordinary, unlike the Su of General Su, who is famous throughout the world.”

"Haha..." Su Rende was amused by her.

I don't know why, but I always feel that this little girl is likable.

"By the way, General Su, how did you get yourself into this state?" Su Yaoguang asked.

Su Rende frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he thought of something.

"I don't think I should have asked, I'm sorry."

“Something happened at home, nothing serious, I can handle it when I get back,” Su Rende said. “It’s fate that we were rescued by your family. By the way, what’s your mother’s name?”

“My mother’s surname is Zhang,” Su Yaoguang said. “General Su, how are you now? If you’re feeling unwell, I’ll send someone to the General’s Mansion to find someone to come and pick you up. But you’ve been missing for three days, why hasn’t anyone come looking for you?”

"No one took it seriously for three days, but if it had been two more days, people would have been searching everywhere."

He would sometimes stay in the military camp for several days, and thus often disappeared for days. In this situation, those in the camp thought he was on official business, while those outside thought he was training troops in the camp. The information from both sides was inconsistent, so naturally they did not realize in time that their great general had disappeared.

Jiang Jing lowered her voice and said, "What do we do now? Mother wants General Su to leave as soon as possible."

Su Yaoguang felt a little embarrassed.

Su Rende said, "I should go back too, otherwise my men will start to worry."

"Then I'll take you out."

"it is good."

Su Rende left Taoyao Fang, glancing at the signboard before he left.

This is that little girl's shop. When he came out just now, he saw that the shop was packed with people; it seems that the little girl has the makings of a businesswoman.

As he turned around, he saw Zhang Zhaodi chatting and laughing with several women. Her smile was very gentle, unlike the cold expression she had given him.

Su Rende stroked his beard: "Is it because my full beard looks a bit scary?"

When Zhang Zhaodi looked up, she saw Su Rende's departing figure.

Even though she knew it wasn't her deadbeat husband, she still felt a little sad when she looked at that face.

How can there be people in this world who are so similar?

Actually, it's not that similar.

Her man was much thinner, not as muscular, and not as imposing. He had a silly smile, and was incredibly clumsy when trying to make her happy. Yet, it was this very man who did everything he could to scrape together enough for her dowry, marrying her from her bloodsucking parents and finally freeing her from that family.

She was willing to remain a widow for more than a decade, not only because she had a daughter to look forward to, but also because she remembered his good qualities and could no longer look at other men.
