Ke Ruxiu hated Ning Huan; she hated this woman to death.
If it weren't for her, Zhou Jing'an would definitely have married her. If she hadn't married into the Xu family, none of this would have happened.
Moreover, she always took advantage of the Xu family's business trips to visit Zhou Jing'an, hoping that he would see her feelings and marry her.
She would even be willing to be a concubine!
But Ning Huan's bitch always stopped her, humiliating her in front of so many people, making her lose face in front of Zhou Jing'an.
Even when she was misunderstood by the villagers as having an affair with Niu Dadan, it was because she personally witnessed Ning Huan and Niu Dadan setting a private meeting time before sneaking over, which ultimately turned out to be her having a secret rendezvous with a man.
It was that bitch Ning Huan who framed her. If it weren't for what happened that day, the Xu family wouldn't have discovered that she had feelings for Zhou Jing'an.
It's all because of Ning Huan!
Before Ke Ruxiu was knocked unconscious by the scarred man, her last thought was that if she ever saw Ning Huan again, she would make that woman wish she were dead!
Meanwhile, at the clinic, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Si Yan told the village chief and others that Zhou Jing'an's treatment had been very successful.
Although Yao was still arguing with Ning Huan relentlessly, the village chief suppressed her.
Zhou Dashan still cared about his son. He looked at Si Yan and asked, "Dr. Si, when can we take our son back home?"
Si Yan thought for a moment and said, "We gave Mr. Zhou some anesthetic powder during the treatment. He will need to sleep for a while before he wakes up."
Zhou Dashan asked in confusion, "What is anesthetic powder?"
Ning Huan quickly said from the side, "Dad, this anesthetic powder is Mafeisan."
Si Yan nodded: "Yes, although Mr. Zhou is still unconscious, you can take him home."
Hearing this, Zhou Dashan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "It's good to be home, I'm going home!"
But the village chief was still a little worried and asked, "Doctor Si, is it really okay for Jing'an to just go home and rest like this?"
Si Yan said, "That's right, the surgery went very smoothly. As long as Mr. Zhou rests well afterward, he will fully recover once the surgical incision heals and the set bones have healed."
He gave an awkward laugh. He'd only said those words to Ning Huan before she left after performing surgery on Zhou Jing'an. He didn't know what else to say.
Fortunately, Ning Huan helped her. She stepped forward and thanked Si Yan, saying, "Thank you very much, Manager Si."
Then he called on the young apprentices at the clinic to help carry Zhou Jing'an out.
Ning Huan was worried that Si Yan would be asked some questions by the villagers that he couldn't answer, so she called him over to help: "Manager Si, could you please come and help me? My husband's leg needs someone to support it, otherwise I'm always worried about touching his wound."
Hearing this, Si Yan breathed a sigh of relief and replied repeatedly, "I'm coming right now."
When Zhou Jing'an was carried out, everyone saw that he was indeed still unconscious, and he didn't wake up even with the big commotion of being carried onto the oxcart.
Ning Huan covered Zhou Jing'an with the blanket she had brought from home. Yang Shi whispered to her aunt beside her, "Look at Ning Huan, how thoughtful she is! She brought a blanket especially for Brother Jing'an, afraid he'll catch a cold!"
The village chief and several elders sat very carefully for fear of bumping into Zhou Jing'an's legs.
Throughout the journey, Yao was dreaming of Zhou Jing'an becoming a high-ranking official and her own meteoric rise to power. Until the oxcart jolted and she bumped into Ning Huan again, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ning Huan once more.
If killing could be done with eyes, Ning Huan would already be riddled with holes in Yao's eyes.
She thought smugly that Ning Huan wouldn't need to be smug for long. Once Zhou Jing'an woke up, she would have her son divorce Ning Huan.
As soon as the oxcart arrived at the village entrance, it attracted a large number of villagers who were waiting for news. They all craned their necks to look at the oxcart, wanting to see how Zhou Jing'an was doing.
Just moments ago, Yao had complained about the bumpy road, but now her face changed, and she beamed as she told the villagers, "My son's injury is healed, and he'll be just like a normal person again. He can even take the exams and become a high-ranking official!"
"Oh my, my son is so lucky! No wonder everyone says he's blessed!"
Seeing Yao's smug expression, Ning Huan shook her head helplessly and then tucked the blanket around Zhou Jing'an.
Aunt Xiufen, who was standing to the side, was quite sensible and asked Ning Huan, "Girl, is Jing An really that good?"
The second grandfather's family member, a native, also asked with concern, "Is Uncle Jing'an's leg alright? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Ning Huan smiled faintly and replied, "Indeed, there's no problem. Doctor Si from Renjitang treated me personally. As long as I recover well during this period, there won't be any issues."
"He's asleep right now because he took anesthetic, and it will take him a while to wake up."
Hearing Ning Huan's words, everyone was very happy and offered their congratulations with smiles.
Yang was telling the villagers how Si Yan had shown them the broken bones, and how worried Ning Huan had become.
Aunt Xiufen smiled and said to Ning Huan, "Huanhuan, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief now. You'll have a time to enjoy life from now on."
Hearing this, not only was Yao unhappy, but Zhou Dashan on the oxcart, as well as Zhou Dasheng's family and Zhou Yan who were waiting with the villagers for Zhou Jing'an to return, were also unhappy.
"Chen Xiufen, what's it to you? Are you going to change your surname to Zhou and become our relative?"
Madam Yao was clearly displeased; her face was droopy, and her brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly between them. Why was it that her son's injuries had healed, and instead of congratulating her, everyone was talking about that little bitch Ning Huan?!
Some villagers were afraid of Yao's sharp tongue, so they would usually give way to her when they encountered her. When they heard her speak, many people dared not say a word.
But Aunt Xiufen was no pushover; she wasn't afraid of Yao Shi.
"What's wrong with you? Are you jealous and unhappy because we didn't try to talk to you? Look at your long face, anyone would think my donkey has come out of the house and become a spirit!"
"To be honest, it's one thing if you're unhappy all the time, but today your third son's illness was cured, and on this joyous occasion you still have such a cold face. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were hoping your son would go to the underworld soon!"
Before Yao could retort, she continued, "To be honest, your cold face is because you're unhappy. Before, you thought your third son was seriously injured and wouldn't survive, so you kicked him out of the house overnight. You call that setting up your own household?"
