Ma Fuquan did not have a fixed monthly salary, and he did not receive a penny while recuperating at home due to his injury. However, Huo Jincheng had informed the town lord that he could still work as a constable in the town after he recovered from his injury, and he also gave Tian Shi two taels of silver for household expenses.

But Tian was still worried, fearing that people would forget about her after she left. Who could predict what would happen in ten days or half a month? So when Jian Ning told her that he wanted to hire her to help brew wine and pay her 180 coins a day, she excitedly grabbed Jian Ning's hand and burst into tears before she could say a word.

"My dear sister, what can I say? I just helped you a few times back then. It wasn't a big deal, I just washed a few clothes for you. I really didn't expect anything in return!"

"It's not the first day we've known each other. How could I not know what kind of person Sister Tian is? Don't worry about what happened today. I'm really short of manpower and need to hire another skilled person. In the past, I didn't interact much with anyone other than Sister Tian. Does Sister Tian have any recommendations?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tian said three times in a row, and she recommended Chang. Chang's husband was a tuberculosis patient, and with five children, their family life was more difficult than anyone else's.

Fortunately, Chang was capable. She sold the family's land to pay for her husband's medical treatment and medicine, and she cleared the land in front of and behind the house to grow vegetables. She took the vegetables to the town to sell before dawn every day, and exchanged the money for food to barely support her family.

"I'll tell her as soon as I make the medicine. She will definitely agree. I'll take care of it." Tian promised, patting her chest.

After Jian Ning and Ding Youtian left, she brought the prepared medicine to the room and mentioned it to Ma Fuquan, praising Jian Ning all the time.

Ma Fuquan drank the medicine with a smile in his eyes. When she finished, he said, "Good deeds will be rewarded. My wife has always been kind, and she is also..."

"What did you call me?" Tian interrupted him.

"My wife!" Didn't the ancients call her that? He hardly ever watched TV. It was only when Jian Ning was on duty watching TV that he passed by the duty room and occasionally glanced at her. The ancients on TV all called her that, so why was he calling her that wrong?

Tian had been married to Ma Fuquan for more than ten years, and today was the first time she heard him call her "wife". Before, when they had no children, he always called her "wife in the house" when he had to. After they had children, he called her "child's mother" or "Mai'er's mother".

All the farmers called her that. Only Ding Youtian liked to call her "Madam Jian," but he had been to school for a few years. She had always envied Ding Youtian for calling her "Madam Jian" in the past, and she had thought she would never hear Ma Fuquan call her that in her lifetime.

Unexpectedly, this man escaped death and his temperament changed. He became considerate and caring towards others.

Ma Fuquan saw her become embarrassed and blush, and he knew he had called her the right name. When he woke up and saw Tian for the first time, he was shocked. It was not for any other reason, but because Tian looked exactly like his wife in the countryside in his previous life.

Wu Yanxu was an orphan who grew up living at various homes. His original surname was Ma, and his given name was Ma Ming. Like Ma Fuquan, he was a serious person. His parents both died in a car accident when he was just over two years old. At the age of seven, he was adopted by a family surnamed Wu in the village and changed his name to Wu Yanxu.

The Wu family, with only two daughters, adopted him and supported his education, with their only requirement being that he marry their eldest daughter, Wu Juan. After he passed the police academy and began his first year of work, he returned home and obtained a marriage certificate with Wu Juan. After Wu Juan gave birth to their child, he returned home only once and never again, though he sent most of his monthly salary home.

Many people in the SWAT team didn't know he was married, including Jian Ning. He never mentioned his wife and daughter to anyone, and Wu Juan rarely called him. When she did, she'd only tell him to take care of himself and tell him how his daughter was doing, but nothing else.

That day, after falling off a cliff, he suddenly thought of his wife and daughter at home. He was a qualified special police officer, but not a qualified husband and father, and he felt regretful. After waking up and seeing Tian, ​​and realizing that his life was continued in another person, he decided to make up for the debt he owed to his family in his previous life.

Seeing that Tian obviously liked him calling her "Madam," he thought he might as well call her that more often. So he called her again, very seriously, "Madam, make braised pork for dinner. When I get better, I'll go hunting in the mountains. We'll never lack meat in the future. Make a big pot. When my brother-in-law and his family come, we'll treat them well and make sure the children have a good meal too."

Speaking of hunting, Ma Fuquan thought of XL, and wondered if he would appear next time.

When Tian heard him call her "wife" again, her face turned even redder. She glared at him with a smile and said, "I'll see if I can't kill you!"

After saying that, he closed the door and left briskly.

…

The Ding family was holding another family meeting. They had held a family meeting once before after work. The result of the meeting was that since the fourth family refused to move back and they couldn't get the pork, they might as well go to the Ma family to get the pig's head and hind legs back.

Old Ding had a good idea. After all, they were the parents of the fourth branch, and they had the right to ask for back such a precious thing as meat. However, they did not expect to return empty-handed, and the eldest brothers suffered a great loss at the hands of the Jian family.

He puffed on his cigarette, his face livid.

Meng had been cursing Jian Ning all the way out of the Ma family's house, and she was still cursing now. She knew in her heart that Jian had truly changed, no longer someone she could manipulate. Although she was still just as annoying, even more annoying than before, she was no longer easy to bully. She hated her so much that she just wanted to catch Jian and give her a beating like she used to, otherwise she would never be able to let go of the anger she was holding in her heart.

"Shut up!" Old Ding was annoyed by her noise, and after scolding her, he kept uttering a few commonplace words. He glanced at his sons, then at his daughters-in-law, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

No one said anything. The eldest brother thought about it and said, "Dad has to make the decision. We will listen to him."

"What's the point of raising you? Your father has to make the decisions on everything. Do you all have pig brains?" Meng couldn't help but start cursing again.

"Hard tactics won't work, how about..." Gao looked at her husband, and seeing that he didn't glare at her, she continued, "How about a soft approach? Second brother and his wife have always gotten along well with the fourth brother and his wife. When they come back, let them talk to the fourth brother. But...

She hesitated to speak, and Meng scolded her, "If you have to fart, just fart!"

Gao gritted her teeth and said, "I don't think it's necessary to move back. I think Jian can kill a tiger now. If she really comes back, she might cause a big mess in this family. I'll just let her catch half of her prey and give it to her parents as a filial piety."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "Third sister-in-law is right. Just hand over the prey to honor our parents. This will prevent our mother from getting angry when she sees her when we move back. Don't make our mother angry too much."

She still had a shadow over Jane Ning and could not understand how Jane Ning could disappear in the blink of an eye and reappear in the blink of an eye.

It’s better to stay hidden.

Old Ding thought Gao's idea was a good one. "Let's do it this way. We'll talk about it after the second son and his wife come back."

He made the final decision.
