The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

That day, I was so angry that I even pointed at the girl's nose and cursed at her.

She thought that the other person would hold a grudge and try to trip her up.

But what about this child? Not only did he recommend the best medicine to her without holding a grudge, but he also thought of and prepared everything for her afterwards!

Ultimately, the whole annulment of the engagement was caused by that troublemaker Qiao Mingzhu. What did it have to do with this good kid?

Thinking of this, Liu Hongmei completely put aside her airs as an elder, took out her money to pay the bill, and smiled generously at Qiao Xinxin with a face full of guilt and gratitude.

"Girl, I really have to thank you today! If it weren't for your recommendation of the medicine, and if it weren't for your reminder, I, as a mother, wouldn't even know that my son's legs would be more uncomfortable on rainy days!"

She sighed, her gaze sincere. "Auntie used to misjudge people and listened to their slander, saying some unpleasant things to you. Please don't take it to heart. You're so young yet so insightful and perceptive; your future is definitely bright!"

"You're a kind-hearted and quick-witted girl; you're destined for great things! Work hard here; I have a good eye for talent, and you're sure to achieve great things!"

Liu Hongmei's words were heartfelt, her eyes full of admiration and affection.

Qiao Xinxin, who was behind the counter, paused slightly as she fiddled with the abacus, a hint of surprise flashing in her clear black eyes.

She never expected that Liu Hongmei, an elder, would actually take the initiative to swallow her pride and sincerely apologize to her, a junior.

No wonder they were able to raise a great hero like Zhou Liguang, who was selfless and devoted to others.

Qiao Xinxin went through the plot of the original book in her mind.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Liguang never did anything heinous or immoral from beginning to end.

On the contrary, when he was in the army, he truly shed blood and sweat and made countless merits!

Whether it's fighting disasters and providing relief on the front lines or carrying out highly dangerous secret missions amidst gunfire, he is always the sharpest blade charging ahead.

From this perspective, he is an absolutely pure and outstanding soldier.

Protect the people, protect the country.

What a wonderful person he was! A man of unwavering integrity, but unfortunately in the original book, he was forced to become cannon fodder simply because he was betrothed to that scheming Qiao Mingzhu.

It would be such a waste to let such an outstanding and good person be crippled in a wheelchair and hospital bed for the rest of his life!

not to mention……

Qiao Xinxin's dark eyes darted around, a sly glint in them.

If Zhou Liguang's leg is healed, he can stand up again, and even regain his official position... how interesting would Qiao Mingzhu's expression be after she finds out the truth, since she just complained about his disability, jumped around trying to break off the engagement, and even resorted to the ridiculous trick of "switching the sky and changing the sun"?

Those blind parents of the Qiao family who doted on Qiao Mingzhu and treated the Zhou family like a pit of fire, must be regretting it to the core.

If she could make Qiao Mingzhu, that pristine white lotus, suffer even more and have her face slapped even more, then Qiao Xinxin would absolutely not mind doing more "good deeds"!

hum...

The more Qiao Xinxin thought about it, the more she felt this deal was worthwhile. She couldn't help but smile and chuckle softly.

"...Girl?"

The sudden laughter left Liu Hongmei, who was sitting opposite her, a little bewildered.

What's wrong with this child?

He was so composed just now, why is he suddenly laughing so... creepy?

"Child, what's wrong with you..." Liu Hongmei swallowed hard, carefully lowering her voice, afraid of startling her.

"Ah? Oh! It's nothing, it's nothing!" Qiao Xinxin snapped back to reality, suppressing her earlier "wicked" thoughts. Her eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons as she grinned at Liu Hongmei. "I just suddenly thought of something great!"

"Aunt Liu," Qiao Xinxin said, her smile fading and her expression turning serious. Her clear, soft voice rang out in the quiet pharmacy, "Actually, I have a way to treat Comrade Zhou Liguang's leg."

boom--!

Something seemed to explode in Liu Hongmei's mind, making a buzzing sound.

"But let me make this clear beforehand: I can't guarantee 100% success. If your Zhou family is willing to trust me, I can give it a try."

Qiao Xinxin spoke in a flat tone, as if she were asking whether she wanted cabbage or radish for lunch.

Little did she know the immense turmoil those seemingly casual words stirred in Liu Hongmei's tormented heart!

"Can...can it be cured?" Liu Hongmei seemed to think there was something wrong with her ears, staring blankly at Qiao Xinxin, her lips trembling, subconsciously repeating these words.

"real?"

Her eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up in them, and she froze like a board, forgetting even to breathe.

The moment she heard the news, she suddenly felt as if the dark, suffocating sky that had been pressing down on the Zhou family for the past few months had been torn open by a dazzling light!

"Girl, are you telling the truth?!" Liu Hongmei suddenly lunged at the counter, gripping the glass edge tightly with both hands, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

But as soon as she asked the question, her body suddenly slumped, and she let out a self-deprecating and sarcastic laugh, as if laughing at her own wild idea or her own foolishness.

She actually believed the words of comfort that others casually said.

Liu Hongmei's bloodshot eyes fell on Qiao Xinxin's fair, sweet face, which still showed signs of immaturity. The hope and ecstasy on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by deep despair.

She's just a little girl, only twenty years old!

Even if someone has learned some folk remedies and has some basic medical knowledge in the countryside, what good is that?

After her husband Li Guang was injured, she and her husband used all their connections to visit top hospitals in the capital and major military regions! Which of those white-haired senior experts and doctors who had studied abroad didn't shake their heads after looking at the scans?

The doctor had already issued a death sentence.

With current medical technology, it's simply too late! It won't heal properly! He'll be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life!

The thought of those cold, hard diagnoses made Liu Hongmei feel as if someone was stabbing her heart with a rusty knife, the pain so intense that even breathing felt like air was leaking through her chest.

"Auntie, I know what you're thinking."

Across the counter, Qiao Xinxin met Liu Hongmei's desperate gaze with an open and resolute look. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resolute: "I can't guarantee 100% success, but I assure you, I'm not some clueless con artist. I would never joke about the leg of a hero who defended our country!"
