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

Chapter 246 Memory
The big man carried Su Rende through the door.

Zhang Zhaodi followed behind, extremely anxious.

She called out to Jiang Jing, "Jing'er, come out quickly and save people."

Jiang Jing was in the consultation room when she heard Zhang Zhaodi's trembling voice instructing Jia Chunni to stay and look after the other patients. She then rushed over.

When Jiang Jing saw Su Rende covered in blood, her expression became very serious.

"what happened to him?"

"An assassin rushed from the street to kill him, and he was stabbed while protecting me. Jing'er, you must save him!"

"Don't worry, Mother. Doctors are compassionate. I will do my best to save anyone I can."

Zhou Wangshu came in from outside and handed a stack of papers to Su Yaoguang, saying, "This is information I obtained from the border, containing important points of suspicion regarding the Grand General Protector of the Nation. Take a look first, and if there's anything you don't understand, I'll send someone to investigate further."

“General Su is right here,” Su Yaoguang said. “He just encountered an assassin, and Jing’er is saving him.”

"Inside?"

"Correct."

"I'll go check it out, don't worry."

Su Yaoguang stopped beside Zhang Zhaodi, hugged her, and said, "Mother, don't worry, it's alright."

“It’s my fault. He kept pestering me about his amnesia, but I didn’t want to listen to him and kept chasing him away. If I had listened to him somewhere else, he wouldn’t have encountered the assassin, and this wouldn’t have happened. He was the Great General who protected the country. If he had died at the hands of an assassin like this, I, an ordinary village girl, would have become the sinner of the world.”

“Mother, how can you blame yourself for this? Even if we had avoided it this time, those assassins wouldn’t have given up. There would still be another assassination attempt.” Su Yaoguang handed Zhang Zhaodi the things that Zhou Wangshu had just given her. “This is information about General Su that Wangshu had people investigate. Why don’t you take a look? Perhaps there are some clues in it that you can provide to General Su.”

Zhang Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, but finally opened it.

This document contains detailed records of Su Rende's daily eating habits, his daily actions, and his likes and dislikes.

"Mother, Mother... what are you thinking about?"

Zhang Zhaodi's eyes reddened: "Yaoguang, he really could be your father."

"Why?" Su Yaoguang took the documents from Zhang Zhaodi and read them aloud one by one. "There's no such record in there. How did you deduce that?"

"This book details his changes in habits over the years. He is now a great general, and I can't possibly connect such a dignified person with my honest and simple-minded husband. But, so many years have passed, and I, the new bride, can become an old woman. Why can't he become a majestic great general? It doesn't mention his name, what kind of life he led before he lost his memory, or even that none of his fellow recruits survived. So it's very difficult to find out anything about him."

"However, it says here that he liked to stare at the moon in a daze, liked to pick and eat sour apricots, and liked to play strange tunes with leaves. You know what? These were all his habits. Especially sour apricots, most people don't like to eat them, but I do, so he ate them with me. When he left, he also said that although he was no longer by my side, we could still see the same moon, so if I missed him, I should look at the moon."

"As for that tune, it was a little pastime when we first met. I was gathering firewood on the mountain, and he was hunting. He was sitting there playing a leaf tune, which caught my attention. I was standing there listening to him play when a wild boar charged down from the mountain. I was terrified. He carried me up a big tree, and we watched from there as the wild boar rammed into the tree, trying to knock us off."

"And then what?" This was the first time Su Yaoguang had heard Zhang Zhaodi talk about her love story with her father.

"That wild boar wouldn't leave, it kept ramming the tree. Seeing that things were going badly, he pulled out a sickle from his waist and jumped down to fight the boar. I watched him fight the boar from the tree trunk. He was very strong, but the boar was too strong. He was injured and getting weaker and weaker. I had gone up the mountain to collect firewood, so I must have had a machete in my basket. I jumped down with the machete to cut down the boar." Su Yaoguang never expected that Zhang Zhaodi was so fierce when she was young.

In some ways, she is quite similar to her mother in temperament.

"You killed the wild boar?"

“Yes.” Zhang Zhaodi blushed. “The wild boar is dead. We killed it together. He was injured, but he still carried the boar down the mountain. Guess what he did next?”

Su Yaoguang shook her head.

Zhang Zhaodi was lost in her memories, her expression incredibly gentle.

“He carried that wild boar to my house and asked my parents for my hand in marriage, saying he wanted to marry me.”

Su Yaoguang exclaimed in surprise, her face full of astonishment: "You've only just met, and my father is already going to marry you?"

"Yes, he said he had never met a bolder woman than me, and that he just happens to like this type and wants to marry me."

In that situation, her father was not favored at home, and her mother was also a laborer at home. The two unloved little bitter gourds fell in love at first sight on the mountain and suddenly wanted to build a small family, a family where the two little bitter gourds would lean on each other.

Su Yaoguang felt that Zhang Zhaodi's evaluation of her father was incorrect.

How could such a brave and decisive man be honest and dull? Is it that her memory of her father is flawed, or has it been too long and she is about to forget what he looks like?

“Mother, didn’t you say he wasn’t? If he were, you should have some sense of it.”

“I can’t believe it’s him. Daughter, he has no memory. What if I’m mistaken? In other words, even if I’m not mistaken and I’m willing to acknowledge this man, will he acknowledge us? He’s the Great General Protector of the Nation, and our status is worlds apart. Would he still be interested in an ignorant woman like me? These are the things I’m worried about, so even if I’m wavering in my heart, I can’t admit it.”

"I just encountered an assassin. He protected me, and the look in his eyes confirmed that it was him, the boy I liked back then. He has always been such a brave and responsible man."

"General Su is awake and insists on seeing you," Jia Chunni said to Zhang Zhaodi as she came out.

Hearing Jia Chunni say this, Zhang Zhaodi pulled Su Yaoguang inside.

"Where's Chaochao? I need to see her." Su Rende tried to get out of bed, but was held down by the person next to him.

Zhang Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat when she heard that familiar address.

This time, she ran over without hesitation and threw herself into Su Rende's arms.

"Brother Dali".

"Every morning..."

The two hugged each other tightly.

Jiang Jing opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately could only swallow.
