"During these two weeks of my treatment, no matter what happens, you cannot interrupt the treatment, understand? Otherwise, the heat toxin on your face will rebound, and the deterioration will accelerate."

"I'm not trying to scare you, but I hope you can take this seriously. Your face isn't just any other place; the skin on your face is too delicate."

Lin Fengjiao nodded emphatically: "I understand. It's getting late, so I'll head back now."

The mother and daughter got up and walked outside.

Wen Yao followed behind them, and after they walked away and closed the door, she returned to her room. The next second, everything went dark, and she was held in the man's arms with one hand. She subconsciously grabbed his hair, afraid that he would fall off.

"Ah Lie, what are you doing? You scared me!"

"Excuse me, what brings them to you?"

"Oh, Lin Fengjiao's face has developed boils due to heat rash, and some of the flesh on her face is rotting. The situation is quite serious, so she came to me for treatment."

Jiang Lie nodded: "Are you confident you can cure her? If not, given her temperament, she might cause you endless trouble."

Wen Yao nodded gently: "It can be cured, don't worry. After all, she is a patient, and the injury is on her face, which is the most important part of her body. If it can be cured, then it should be cured. I don't have any deep hatred for her."

"She didn't get anything good from me before, and besides, if it weren't for her, where would I have found such a good hunter?"

"Since she came as a patient, I, as a doctor, had to treat her. I couldn't just stand by and watch. Her condition was indeed serious; many people would faint from the pain of debridement."

"I don't know if she can hold on for the first few days; the pain will gradually lessen afterward."

Jiang Lie watched as her small mouth opened and closed, her Adam's apple bobbing up and down. His eyes darkened, and he pulled her to the bedside, pressed her down, and directly silenced her with a kiss.

"Honey, let's continue what we haven't finished. I'm hungry."

When the mother and daughter returned home, Lin Fengjiao quickly took the pills, otherwise the pain on her face would prevent her from sleeping at night.

When Lin Jianguo saw them return, his face was full of worry: "How did it go? Can Dr. Wen cure our daughter's facial problem?"

"Yes, she said it can be cured, but it requires going every day for half a month, and the initial debridement treatment is very painful. I'm going to accompany my daughter tomorrow too."

"We also need to think about what kind of explanation we should give to the outside world. We can't hide the fact that our daughter came back to get treatment for her face, and we need to give an explanation to the outside world for the fact that our son-in-law didn't come back."

"Otherwise, if she keeps hesitating, the rumors will drown her. I don't want my daughter to be in such a passive position."

Zhang Lan rolled her eyes and said, "How about we put it this way? After my daughter went to the city, her skin was too delicate, and she got pimples on her face because she couldn't adapt to the new environment. Plus, she missed home and wanted to come back to get treatment."

"This way, they can stay at home a little longer and spend more time with us. Otherwise, once they get pregnant and have children, they won't be able to come home for a year or two."

"Let me also talk about my son-in-law finding a job for my daughter. Once she recovers and goes back to work, she won't have time to come back. Anyway, I can't mention anything that's bothering my daughter."

Lin Jianguo looked at them suspiciously: "What does 'depression' mean?"

Zhang Lan sighed, "My daughter is having a hard time at her husband's family home. Her sister-in-law was kicked out by her husband's family, and her twin sons are being raised under their names. They are three years old, which is the most mischievous age."

"If the son-in-law is only on the side of the family and doesn't stand up for his daughter, how can the daughter have a good life? There's nothing she can do about suffering injustice."

"Which woman doesn't go through this after marriage? It's our daughter's second marriage, while it's her first. If we argue, she won't have much leverage, and it's really frustrating."

Lin Jianguo clenched his fist and looked in his daughter's direction: "Fengjiao, let me ask you, has he ever hit you?"

"Remember this: no matter what happens, if a man lays a hand on you, especially the first time, you must retaliate. You can't just swallow your anger."

"When a man drinks and hits you, he's testing you. If you tolerate it the first time, you'll be beaten countless times in the future, and sooner or later he'll beat you to death. If he dares to hit you, you can smash up your valuables in the house."

"Remember, you must let him know that hitting you is not a simple matter; it comes at a price."

Thinking of that slap, Lin Fengjiao nodded, forcing back her grievances: "Yes, I'll remember, Dad. But if I really smash things in the house, will he divorce me?"

Lin Jianguo sighed: "Silly girl, no way. Shen Qingshu is a scholar, and scholars are usually very calculating. He will keep his eyes on you. So what if you're remarried?"

"If you marry him while you are still a virgin, that will be your first marriage. You can't demean yourself. Once he finds out, he will only bully you more."

"Women do suffer in married life. After all, you can't fight back, and you're not as educated as him when it comes to verbal sparring. I don't think you should mess with his sharp tongue."

"Sigh, no matter how you look at it, he's not as good as Jiang Lie."

Lin Fengjiao's eyes dimmed, and she changed the subject: "Dad, let's not talk about those things. Actually, he's been quite good to me. He only spent sixty or seventy yuan on me in the first month. You wouldn't get that much money in the countryside."

"Besides, he has a respectable job and is good-looking. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who benefits. Otherwise, with my reputation as a divorcee, I would never be able to marry someone better than him in the countryside."

"If she were to marry a peasant from the surrounding area, we would be an only daughter, and when you all get old, she might be wiped out of the family line. But Shen Qingshu won't do that; he can only stay in the city and won't go back to the countryside."

Lin Jianguo thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, what my daughter said makes sense. It's normal for couples to have minor disagreements. It will get better once you have children. As long as you don't resort to violence, just get along with each other gradually."

Zhang Lan urged, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early. We need to get treatment for your face tomorrow morning."

"Go early and avoid the people working in the fields, so you don't have to ask too many questions and delay your treatment. Your face is really frightening to look at."

"...Okay, Mother, I'll go back to my room now."

After their daughter left, the couple looked at each other and sighed, "Is our daughter lucky or unlucky? I'm so worried. Do you think Shen Qingshu is a good person?"

Zhang Lan patted his arm: "Don't overthink it. In terms of conditions, Shen Qingshu is indeed impeccable, but in the end, it's their own life to live."

"We parents can't interfere. Every couple is different. In any case, if our daughter has a job in the city and has children, then her life will be stable."

"Even if my son-in-law has other ulterior motives in the future, my daughter will not be left with nothing because she has a job, and besides, we still have children."

Lin Jianguo said in a deep voice, "I hope so. I see Jiang Lie and Madam Wen as a young couple, so sweet and loving, it's enviable. Why did our Feng Jiao get married so soon?"
