Seeing Chen Hong covered in sweat, Jiang Jingxue knew the situation must be very serious.

"Fellow villagers, I have other matters to attend to. We can discuss the seafood market issue later!"

Jiang Jingxue briefly greeted everyone and then hurriedly rushed back.

"Chen Hong, what exactly happened? Your major's leg was recovering quite well, so why is it suddenly hurting?"

Jiang Jingxue was completely baffled.

During this period of time.

She gave Gu Pingwei acupuncture and medicinal baths every day, and his leg was getting better day by day. It shouldn't have suddenly worsened.

"This... the major..."

Chen Hong stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything.

"Madam, you should go back and check first."

In the blink of an eye, they were back home.

Gu Pingwei sat in a wheelchair, his face pale and his expression pained, with large beads of sweat pouring from his forehead. He looked quite seriously ill.

"Gu Pingwei, what's wrong with you? Let me see!"

Jiang Jingxue quickly ran over, wanting to check his leg.

Gu Pingwei was stubborn.

"It's alright, no need to check."

"Chen Hong, didn't I tell you not to go to Madam's place?"

"Shut up! You're in so much pain and you still say you're fine!"

Jiang Jingxue insisted on rolling up his trouser leg to examine his legs.

Jiang Jingxue touched and pinched his legs and found that the ligaments were somewhat damaged, as if caused by strenuous exercise.

He usually sits in a wheelchair, so he shouldn't be doing strenuous exercise, right?

Jiang Jingxue looked directly at Gu Pingwei.

"Gu Pingwei, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"

From Chen Hong's hurried arrival to Gu Pingwei's evasiveness in not letting her know, she suspected something was wrong.

Gu Pingwei is not good at lying.

When he was saying things against his conscience, he didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

"No... I'm really fine."

But Jiang Jingxue clearly refused to believe it.

Chen Hong, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Major, your wife is incredibly intelligent; you can't fool her. You might as well tell the truth!"

“Madam, the major wanted to recover as soon as possible, so he asked me to help him practice walking. After walking for a long time, he ended up like this.”

In the blink of an eye, Chen Hong had completely betrayed his major.

As long as the major's leg can be healed as soon as possible and his pain reduced, I'll accept the scolding.

Gu Pingwei looked at Chen Hong with surprise.

Whose subordinate was he? How dare he betray him!

"What are you glaring at me for? Tell me honestly, how long have you been gone!"

Jiang Jingxue's words left Gu Pingwei speechless.

He answered honestly, "Not long, just... from when you left until just now."

"What? You walked for almost four hours straight?"

In fact, Jiang Jingxue had already guessed that the pain in his leg was caused by over-rehabilitation, but she never expected that he would walk for such a long time in one go!

They simply don't care about their own bodies!

Jiang Jingxue was both angry and anxious.

"Gu Pingwei, what can I say to you!"

"You're such a grown man, how can you be so insensible? Don't you know that if you walk any longer, your legs will be completely ruined! You'll never be able to stand up again!"

Jiang Jingxue launched into a tirade against Gu Pingwei.

Ultimately, she was just too worried about him.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know it would turn out this way."

Gu Pingwei apologized and explained.

Jiang Jingxue's anger had not subsided at all.

"Why didn't you talk to me about wanting to do rehabilitation? Why did you secretly keep it from me?"

At least she was his doctor, and could give him some guidance based on his condition.

He didn't take her seriously at all.

This was the first time Gu Pingwei had been treated like a grandson and lectured.

Knowing he was in the wrong, he could only obediently lower his head and accept the criticism.

Chen Hong, who was standing nearby, was utterly astonished by the way Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei interacted.

I never imagined their major was so afraid of his wife.

Your wife is truly a heroine, and she has a knack for managing her husband!

Chen Hong found it amusing and couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Pingwei was already feeling awkward, and when he saw Chen Hong trying to suppress his laughter, his face darkened, and he pointed to the door.

"Chen Hong, get out of here! I'll settle this score with you later!"

That kid actually dared to laugh at him!

"Yes, Major."

Chen Hong obediently walked out.

Jiang Jingxue became even angrier.

"Gu Pingwei, what do you mean by this? So Chen Hong told me the wrong thing?"

All he does all day is bully his own subordinates!

Jiang Jingxue immediately took out her medical kit, pulled out a silver needle, and stuck it into Gu Pingwei's leg.

Because it was tingled with heat, this needle was applied with some force.

"Hmm."

Gu Pingwei winced in pain and let out a muffled groan.

"Now you know it hurts? Just you wait! I'll stab you to death!"

Jiang Jingxue inserted needles one after another into the acupoints on Gu Pingwei's legs.

Hearing Jiang Jingxue's curses and Gu Pingwei's painful groans behind him, Chen Hong could only silently pray.

Major, you'd better pray for yourself!

The lady is really too fierce, and she's also very skilled at needlework. I must never dare to offend her again.

Although the acupuncture Jiang Jingxue gave Gu Pingwei was very painful, the pain gradually disappeared after a few minutes, replaced by a comfortable feeling of smooth meridians.

Looking at Jiang Jingxue, who was sitting to the side sulking.
