Chapter 263 Studying Medicine

And so, Zhang Wei and Li Daguang got together, while Zhang Mei, with her child, got together with Xu Guangxu.

The people from both villages were so shocked their jaws nearly dropped.

"Wait, isn't Zhang Wei Mei Zi's cousin? Wasn't she here to take care of Mei Zi? So she's ended up taking care of her cousin's husband instead?"

"Let's not talk about that. Mei Zi and Xu Guangxu are still together!"

"I know that. Xu Guangxu from the next village used to be Zhang Wei's boyfriend!"

For a time, the complicated relationship between the four people caused endless arguments between the two villages.

Aunt Hua, who was the matchmaker, couldn't understand it either. "Meizi, what's going on? Didn't Guangxu marry Zhang Wei? How come you two are together?"

"How do I put it?" Zhang Mei nudged Xu Guangxu beside her.

"Aunt Hua, let's not worry about the past. Meizi is my wife now."

Xu Guangxu couldn't very well say that he had been cheated on and had a new wife, so he simply left it at that.

Xu Guangxu's parents were also bewildered. How come their daughter-in-law had changed so soon after the wedding?

"Was it Zhang Wei who caused this?! Your sister-in-law said that the person who came out of your room that day wasn't her, but I didn't believe her. Now it seems I was blind!" Xu Guangxu's mother was furious. Her good son had suddenly married a divorced woman.

Xu Guangxu quickly stopped his mother: "Mother, I am marrying Meizi willingly."

Xu Guangxu's mother's unfriendly gaze fell on Zhang Mei, but Zhang Mei wasn't afraid at all.

Let her watch. She doesn't necessarily have to get married anyway.

“Mother, it really has nothing to do with Meizi! Anyway, things are already like this, and Zhang Wei has returned the betrothal gifts, so let’s just leave it at that!” Xu Guangxu advised.

Xu Guangxu's mother was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she couldn't do anything about her son.

What to do? If we tell our son to leave Zhang Mei, won't he become a thrice-married man?

Since her son was willing, Xu Guangxu's mother had no choice but to accept this daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei and Li Daguang were not doing well.

After all, Zhang Wei had compensated Xu Guangxu with a sum of money, and Li Daguang had given almost all of his belongings to Zhang Mei, leaving the two of them practically penniless.

However, Li Daguang didn't think it was a big deal, as love makes even water taste sweet.

"Weiwei, I will definitely make sure you live a good life!" Zhang Wei swallowed the sweet potato that was so choking she could have choked, and nodded.

"Oh, is this appropriate?" Lin Liuyi felt that it had only been a short time since she last visited this reader, how could such a big thing have happened?

What's this? A mistaken marriage where the bride got into the wrong sedan chair but married the right man? A bride swap or a forced marriage?

Wow, the people in your village have some really creative ways of having fun!

"No, if we really compare, your current man is much better off than your ex, right? What does your cousin think?"

"That's right, we don't understand either, but if she wants it, we'll just give it to her!"

Actually, when she was sick, she could see her ex-husband's coldness. However, the two still had two children, and her health was indeed failing. Although Zhang Mei had some complaints, she didn't say anything.

Who knew that this scoundrel would do such a thing later? Then she has nothing left to hold on to!

Anyway, it's just changing men. It doesn't matter who you marry. Just like Lin Liuyi said, Xu Guangxu is actually a better catch!

"Then are you going to treat this man's leg?" Lin Liuyi heard that the other party was a soldier who had retired because of a leg injury, and felt that he could help Meizi.

If Meizi heals her man's leg, he will probably be even more grateful to her.

To be honest, Zhang Mei was quite tempted by Lin Liuyi's suggestion. "How should it be treated? Is it still about taking pills?"

Lin Liu nodded; she could go to Long Mingyue to ask for a suitable medicine to treat her leg.

Zhang Mei was somewhat displeased after receiving Lin Liuyi's affirmative answer.

Last time, she took the pill Lin Liuyi gave her and was brought back to life. If she were to give a man another pill that could make a broken leg heal, not to mention how much she owed Lin Liuyi, would she still have a good life if people found out about this?

Zhang Mei's feelings for Xu Guangxu weren't that deep enough for her to take such a big risk for this man.

After listening to this, Lin Liuyi really thought Zhang Mei was a smart woman.

"Then why don't you study medicine? You can heal yourself and then you won't have to worry about others finding out!"

Zhang Mei was very interested, but as a rural woman who couldn't read a single character, how could she learn?

"That's easy. Your man can definitely read. You can learn from him first, and then slowly read medical books on your own."

Zhang Mei thought it was feasible; this was a tremendous opportunity. There weren't any decent doctors in their rural area, and if she learned the skills, she wouldn't have to ask for help anymore.

It's done!

So Zhang Mei went to Xu Guangxu hoping he could teach her to read.

Although Xu Guangxu was surprised, he fully supported her and admired her even more.

"Meizi, you're so smart, you'll definitely learn it quickly!"

Zhang Mei rolled her eyes at him.

As the days went by, Zhang Mei studied very hard. She was indeed intelligent and soon learned many characters, and even gradually became able to understand some simple medical books.

These medical books were collected by Lin Liuyi from many different parts of the world. After making copies, he simply stuffed them all into Zhang Mei's hands.

Xu Guangxu was filled with admiration when he saw his wife's huge pile of medical books. Although he was literate, he really couldn't understand his wife's medical books.

At first, the Xu family looked down on Zhang Mei, but after she cured their colds twice with herbal medicine, they started to speak well of her.

Old Xu's family made the right choice in marrying this daughter-in-law!

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei and Li Daguang's lives became increasingly difficult.

Li Daguang worked hard in the fields, but Zhang Wei began to feel dissatisfied with her current life.

After she agreed to Xu Guangxu's request, he didn't ask her to work with him. On the contrary, he always gave her pocket money.

Look at her now, she has sweet potatoes that she can't finish every day. When she was with Xu Guangxu, she could eat as many snacks as she wanted in town.

And the clothes she was wearing—it had been so long since she'd had new clothes made. Xu Guangxu had given her cloth ration coupons back then.

Zhang Wei began to regret her impulsive decision. Why did she give up a good life to come and suffer?

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life. After studying for a while, Zhang Mei started thinking about how to treat Xu Guangxu's legs.

Looking at the dark, black plaster his wife had mixed, Xu Guangxu felt a surge of tenderness in his heart, but he said, "Honey, it's alright. It's alright if your leg doesn't get better!"

"Don't say anything! Don't you believe in my skills?"

Xu Guangxu was both amused and exasperated. Even with the added benefit of a positive outlook, he dared not confidently assert his belief in his wife's skills.

His wife has only been studying for a short time. Although she reads medical books every day, even the military doctors shake their heads when they see his leg.

He's already prepared to be lame for the rest of his life!
