Sheng Qian was still immersed in the depression of not being able to get a divorce when the doctor invited by the Long family arrived.
"Dr. Tan, how is my son? Is he any better than he was a few days ago?" Hou Guifang asked anxiously, unable to contain her concern for her son.
The man known as Dr. Tan comes from a family of three generations of village doctors. He himself was influenced by his family and studied traditional Chinese medicine for more than ten years. Now that Western medicine is gaining popularity, he has switched to it.
Sheng Qian looked in from the doorway and could see his diagnostic methods, from which she could also make a judgment.
Dr. Tan put away his stethoscope and made a pulse-taking motion, saying, "The patient's condition hasn't improved much. As I said before, whether he can wake up later depends on his own will."
Hou Guifang's eyes dimmed considerably, but she still forced a smile and said, "Dr. Tan, you must do your best to treat him. My son is a guardian of the country..."
Dr. Tan looked at the person sleeping peacefully on the bed and sighed, "I understand, I will do my best."
He was invited in for regular checkups, which stabilized his current condition but did not improve it.
Even with the medical standards of the capital, nothing could be done, so what could a doctor from a county town possibly do?
It's just something that can only comfort the families of the injured.
Hou Guifang and Long Haifeng saw Dr. Tan out.
"You're leaving at noon?"
It was Hou Guifang asking Long Haifeng.
Long Haifeng has his own responsibilities and cannot stay here for long.
"I'm entrusting Yunting to you," Long Haifeng said apologetically. "Thank you for your hard work."
"Go do what you need to do. I'm here with our son, so you don't need to worry."
Long Haifeng isn't good at sweet talk, and these days there's no need for all sorts of fancy speaking skills; just being good at what you say is enough.
Sheng Qian watched this scene unfold, clicking her tongue inwardly.
In this day and age, couples with such feelings are rare.
In Wutong Village, it seems that there is no man who doesn't beat his wife. They treat women like oxen, and don't regard them as human beings at all.
Long Haifeng left in a hurry at noon.
He had put aside his work to accompany his wife and take care of their son, but he couldn't stay too long and delay things.
"Xiao Qian, if you want to do business, it will be even more difficult for you if you don't know a single word. Why don't you go back to school first and learn some knowledge before starting a business?" During the meal, Hou Guifang tried her best to persuade Sheng Qian to go back to school.
Sheng Qian glanced at Hou Guifang again.
Hou Guifang added, "I know you're eager to make money, but you still need to improve your literacy. Otherwise, you'll be ridiculed when you go out in the future. You'll be completely clueless, and many things will be difficult for you."
Hou Guifang is right; being illiterate will create many obstacles in the future.
But she is also a college-educated person. Wouldn't it be a waste of her time to make money if she went back to school now?
“I can read,” Sheng Qian lied without hesitation. “I used to eavesdrop near the school and learned a lot from people in the same village.”
“But these can’t be enough to support yourself,” Hou Guifang felt.
Sheng Qian said, "Auntie, do you not want me to go out and do business? Are you afraid that the reputation of being a self-employed individual will affect the Long family?"
Hou Guifang said with a smile, "You're overthinking it. Since the Long family has already agreed, we won't stop you from taking this path. The Long family is more open-minded than other families, so you don't need to worry too much about your family going back on their word."
“I do have some knowledge, I won’t disgrace the Long family,” Sheng Qian said, pointing to her head.
Hou Guifang looked at Sheng Qian and suddenly said, "How about this, you come back to Beijing with us and go straight to Peking University, okay?"
"..."
Love is waiting for her here.
"With Yun Ting's connections, you can definitely get a degree from Peking University. If you're worried about keeping up, you can hire a private tutor. With your intelligence, you're sure to get a degree from Peking University. Do you want to consider it?"
The original owner didn't want to go to the capital with strangers, so he asked to buy a house in the town.
Sheng Qian still longed for a divorce.
They didn't want to rely entirely on the Long family.
Who will own the money we earn in the future?
Will the Long family claim that they helped her achieve what she has today and demand that she hand it over?
The Long family seems good now, but who knows if everyone really thinks that way?
As the saying goes, human nature is unpredictable, so she'd better not take the risk.
Perhaps it's because I experienced betrayal in my previous life that I'm so sensitive about this.
"I prefer to take it one step at a time. If you care about me, Auntie, please let me start here."
Hou Guifang sighed.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade Sheng Qian to go to the capital, he had no choice but to stay here.
Hou Guifang turned around and gave Sheng Qian the thousand yuan in her hand.
Sheng Qian quickly declined, saying, "Your Long family has given us enough benefits, so I won't accept this money."
Although she loves money, she also has her own set of principles.
Hou Guifang said, "This is the salary paid by Yun Ting's troops. You are his wife, so you should take it."
"..."
This made it even more difficult for her to respond.
She was thinking about how to get a divorce, but Hou Guifang handed over his financial control to her, which felt awkward no matter how she looked at it.
“Take it. If you don’t take it, are you going to wait for someone else to take it? The benefits we gave the Sheng family before were for doing things, and have nothing to do with this.”
Sheng Qian looked at the money that was forcibly stuffed into her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Auntie, just consider it a loan from him."
You need capital to do business.
Hou Guifang didn't care who she was, as long as she accepted the offer.
Hou Guifang then took out the previously forged property ownership certificate and gave it to her, which only had her name on it.
Sheng Qian accepted the task without any difficulty.
Hou Guifang had some errands to run in town that afternoon, so she entrusted Long Yunting to Sheng Qian's care.
Sheng Qian thought to herself that this lady was really clever.
The money and certificates were handed to her; how could I dare refuse the favor I was asked of her?
"Your mother gave me all your salary, and you don't even say anything?" Sheng Qian washed some fruit and sat down by Long Yunting's bed to eat it, saying indistinctly, "It's only because you met me that you're lucky. Otherwise, any other woman would have ruined your family. When you wake up, you should thank me and then get a divorce."
"The shroud on your head should have been removed long ago," Sheng Qian said, holding fruit in one hand and naturally reaching under the covers with the other to pull out his slender hand. It was a beautiful hand, and Sheng Qian shamelessly played with it for a couple of moments before placing it on his pulse, carefully examining it. "It's nothing serious, you'll definitely wake up. I'll get you some special medicine another day, waking up is just a matter of time. But it's a deal, don't try to back out when you wake up, you'll have to divorce me!"
Sheng Qian took another bite of fruit, washed her hands after finishing, and then patted his head.
"Your head was badly injured, but it's healed. It's still wrapped in cloth, and it'll make your head smaller if it stays wrapped for too long." I was about to remove it, but then I thought better of it and decided not to move it. "I'll discuss it with your mother when she gets back."
Sheng Qian grabbed his hand and tucked it back into the blanket.
The hand tucked under the covers moved slightly.
Sheng Qianxiang picked up the handsome man in front of her, but what she was thinking about was what to do next.
