"Good, good, you're really capable."

Wang Houming was so angry that he took two steps back and plopped down on the stool. He hadn't expected Wang Jun to agree.

"In that case, let's put it in writing to avoid regretting it later."

Wang Houming pretended that he had never given birth to this son.

"Also, you need to give me my retirement money this year right away."

He wanted to see how he would handle things if he couldn't pay a hundred dollars.

"this."

Wang Jun struggled to his feet. All the money he earned was managed by Qian Li, and he didn't have a single penny on him.

Chen Fenglan checked her pockets; she was penniless. Qian Li had taken all her money.

"Sister Chen, here you go, consider it a loan from me."

Ruan Qiushui took out one hundred yuan and handed it to Chen Fenglan.

"Thank you, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Chen Fenglan wiped away her tears and handed the money to Gu Xianjin.

The family division agreement hasn't been written yet. What if Wang Houming and his wife refuse to acknowledge the money after it's given to them?

"Make sure you have exactly one hundred yuan."

Gu Xianjin counted them; the numbers matched.

"Alright, the money's been paid, let's write the division agreement now."

Gu Xianjin sympathized with Wang Jun and Chen Fenglan's plight and sent someone to the brigade office to fetch ink.

"Ruan Zhiqing is really capable; he can easily come up with a hundred yuan to help people."

Wang Houming has taken a grudge against Ruan Qiushui.

"I would be quite happy to help my suffering compatriots escape their misery."

Who's afraid of who? Come and hit me if you dare!

Such a wretched old man, no one would even burn paper money for him after he died.

“Ruan is right.”

Xie Xiuying came over to support Ruan Qiushui.

If Wang Houming dares to hold a grudge against Ruan Yatou, he'll have to see if Gu Jia will allow it.

"Alright, everyone come and take a look. If there are no problems, sign it."

The family division agreement will be made in triplicate, and the brigade will keep one copy.

Wang Jun and Chen Fenglan stepped forward, took a look, and then signed and affixed their fingerprints.

"Now you can get out."

Wang Houming angrily signed the document and turned to leave.

Qian Li carefully folded the family division agreement and put it in her pocket; it was worth countless hundred-yuan bills.

"Sister Chen, let me help you pack your things."

Chen Fenglan was still swaying, so Ruan Qiushui quickly went to help her.

"We'll help too."

Xie Xiuying quickly asked her two daughters-in-law to go and help as well.

With them around, even that old woman Qian Li wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

"Until the houses are built, you can stay at the granary for now."

Gu Xianjin couldn't bear to see the two of them sleeping on the streets.

Chen Fenglan was, after all, a sent-down youth. If word got out that she had been treated so badly by her husband's family, it would have a bad influence on the brigade.

The granary was filled with relief grain, and it was usually guarded by Wang Jun.

The young couple had nowhere to go, and no one could say anything about it.

"Thank you, thank you."

Chen Fenglan looked at the kind-hearted crowd with gratitude, her heart filled with warmth.

…

The next morning, Chen Fenglan brought Wang Jun to the clinic.

"Sister Chen, Brother Wang, please have a seat."

Ruan Qiushui arranged for the two to sit down, then lifted the gauze off Wang Jun's forehead to check the wound.

"The wound is healing well; it should be fully healed in about a week."

Ruan Qiushui changed Wang Jun's dressing and carefully instructed Chen Fenglan on precautions.

"Qiushui, this is a small token of our appreciation."

Chen Fenglan placed the bamboo basket on the table.

Last night, I was exhausted by the commotion caused by Qian Li and Wang Houming, and only now do I have the chance to thank Ruan Qiushui.

Inside the bamboo basket was a wild pheasant that Wang Jun had caught early that morning while hunting in the mountains. Chen Fenglan knew that Ruan Qiushui disliked trouble, so she specially killed and plucked it before bringing it to her.

"Sister Chen, I can't accept this. You take it back and stew it for Brother Wang Jun to help him recover."

Last night, when the family divided their property, Wang Houming didn't even give them a single grain of food. How could Ruan Qiushui have the nerve to take even a chicken from them?

"No, you have to accept it. The money you spent on your medicine last night is probably more than this chicken can cover."

Just those anti-inflammatory drugs alone cost several dollars at the hospital.

"Don't worry, Brother Jun knows how to hunt. I'll bring you some good food later."

She also needs to find a way to pay back the remaining 100 yuan as soon as possible.

"Alright, I'll take the chicken, but you have to take some grain back with you."

Ruan Qiushui went into the inner room and dragged out a grain sack.

Ruan Qiushui had originally planned to bring some grain to Chen Fenglan, but now that they've arrived, she's saved herself an extra trip.

It contained two jin of wheat flour, two jin of rice, and ten jin of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"No need, we have enough food."

Wang Jun borrowed twenty jin of coarse grains from a friend, enough for them to eat for several days.

"No, then I don't want this chicken either."

Chen Fenglan was the first friend she made here, and now that her friend is in trouble, she is capable of helping.

We just need to keep a low profile.

It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. It seems I need to think of a way to make money.

If we don't keep helping her like this, Sister Chen, with her pride, won't accept it anymore.

"Okay, then we'll accept it."

Chen Fenglan held Ruan Qiushui's water, so moved she was almost in tears.

"Ruan Zhiqing, thank you. From now on, you're like my own sister. If anyone dares to say a bad word about you, I'll teach them a lesson."

Wang Jun learned carpentry from Wang Houming in elementary school and is quite strong.

"Forget about dealing with people, as long as you and Sister Chen are alright, that's better than anything else."

She only hoped that Sister Chen would have a happy marriage and that Wang Jun would cherish her for the rest of his life.

"I will."

Wang Jun made a promise as a man.

He can hunt and is also a carpenter, so he certainly won't let Chen Fenglan suffer.

The two got up to say goodbye. Seeing that no patients came to the door, Ruan Qiushui got up and walked up the mountain.

It's still quite necessary to go through the motions of gathering medicinal herbs.

The secret laboratory on the mountain has been wiped out by Gu Changfeng and his men, so it's perfectly safe now.

Judging by the timeline, Gu Changfeng should have arrived in Beijing by now and gone to her house to retrieve the teddy bear.

I wonder how Gu Changfeng is doing, and if he misses her.

…

"Achoo!"

Gu Changfeng couldn't help but sneeze, rubbed his nose, and continued walking forward.

The list within the teddy bear operation is quite extensive, covering not only several provinces and cities, but also many mid-level managers.

Following instructions from his superiors, he will lead the first squad to W province to capture X, a key figure on the enemy's intelligence list.

X is the most important intelligence hub that the Dwarf Kingdom placed in the Flower Kingdom. It holds a large number of secrets and has top-notch reconnaissance and combat capabilities.

I don't know whether he, as a top soldier, is stronger or weaker than X.

Gu Changfeng's competitive spirit was ignited, and he led his teammates onto the train bound for W Province.

…

Ruan Qiushui drank a cup of milk tea and ate some snacks in the space, and lingered until the afternoon before slowly carrying her basket down the mountain.

"Ruan girl, you're finally back. There's a car parked outside the clinic. I heard it's looking for you. Is it one of your relatives?"

When a busybody aunt saw Ruan Qiushui coming down the mountain, she quickly came to report it.

If Ruan Qiushui really has a powerful backer, she should at least benefit from it.
