Chapter 40

“But he used to be my comrade-in-arms, sharing life and death together. The guy I could trust with my back, not only embezzled my allowance, but also treated me so rudely. This made me suspicious of him!”

Just when Xie Zhenting was anxiously trying to remind Gu Nanzhi to be wary of Huo Mingda, Gu Nanzhi’s voice came again.

“For your safety, let him jump around for a while!”

Gu Nanzhi applied medicine to Xie Zhenting’s hand, gritting her teeth, “I can’t beat him, I’ll wait for you to wake up and then settle the score with him!”

The Sweeping Monk had Xie Jianbang bring back a package of cassia seeds, implying that she should pretend to be ignorant. Huo Mingda couldn’t be touched for now!

Even if he had embezzled Xie Zhenting’s allowance, to prevent alarming him, maintaining the status quo was the best choice!

What could Gu Nanzhi say?

Huo Mingda was Xie Zhenting’s comrade-in-arms. Ignoring his character, his strength was undeniable. She, a half-baked doctor, couldn’t handle him!

Xie Zhenting heard this: “…”

He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This woman was very smart, always aware of her limitations. But…

She was actually considering his safety, her tone full of concern. Even her movements while applying medicine were incredibly gentle. Her usual care for him…

Could it be…

That his previous suspicions about her were wrong?

She wasn’t approaching him with ulterior motives?

“By the way, I have something else to tell you…”

Just as Xie Zhenting was pondering, Gu Nanzhi’s voice came again, “Xie Zhenting, your official match is about to crumble! She’s already with Huo Mingda, even filed a marriage application. When you wake up, don’t blame me if you become a ‘catch-all’!”

“I really didn’t do anything, and I didn’t intend to break up your relationship!”

In the original book, although Xie Zhenting was initially curious about Xu Xiangling when he woke up, as the plot progressed, they did fall in love. Their love was like lightning striking, otherwise the book wouldn’t be called “The Powerful Military Officer’s Strong Love!”

Gu Nanzhi was wronged!

She could say for sure that she was innocent. She wouldn’t take the blame for breaking up the original book’s main couple!

Xie Zhenting: “…”

What official match! Again!

This time it was even more outrageous, his official match was actually with Huo Mingda, and he was a ‘catch-all’…

Could it be that in this woman’s eyes, he was a homewrecker?

It was simply ridiculous!

Gu Nanzhi wiped Xie Zhenting’s body while sorting out the events of the day. Although Xu Xiangling and Huo Mingda were together, the plot had crumbled beyond her expectations. However, someone had taken care of the medicine issue, so her heart was relieved.

Ignoring the fact that she had sold herself, everything seemed to be moving in a good direction. Gu Nanzhi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, but…

She had relaxed too soon, because…

The rain stopped in the afternoon, and Xu Xiangling and Huo Mingda went to town again. When they returned, they had brought back a lot of medicine!

“Gu Nanzhi, you won’t be the only village doctor in Xiejia Village!”

Xu Xiangling shrugged, her back loaded with boxes of medicine, and she smiled with disdain, “You don’t know this yet. I studied nursing in junior college. I’m a professional in treating illnesses and saving lives! From now on, the villagers will all come to me for treatment. Don’t cry when you lose your patients, hehe…”

Gu Nanzhi heard this: “!!!”

She looked at her in a daze, completely confused about what was happening!

She knew, of course, that Xu Xiangling studied medicine. In the original book, she later followed Xie Zhenting to the army and became a military doctor. But…

Did she ever work as a village doctor in the countryside?

No?

There is no such part in the original book!

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Xu Xiangling snorted coldly and walked away triumphantly, and the doubts in Gu Nanzhi’s heart were soon answered.

Because when she went to see Wang Wanning for a follow-up visit, she mentioned this matter. Wang Wanning thought about it and said, “Maybe it’s because she ate your braised pork two days ago!”

“Ah?”

Gu Nanzhi was even more confused when she heard it.

“Didn’t I buy a bowl of braised pork from your house that day? When she ate it, her reaction was strange, saying that you made a lot of money. The next day she asked me to help her go to the town to inquire about being a village doctor. My foot was sprained when I came back from the town…”

Wang Wanning’s expression was very complicated when she mentioned Xu Xiangling now!

She didn’t even hear a word of concern because Xu Xiangling sprained her foot. When she learned that Xu Xiangling didn’t return home at night, she blamed herself and got anxious, but Xu Xiangling came back and said that she was making a fuss!

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile with her, but…

her sincerity was met with cold water. When she thought about how Xu Xiangling saw Gu Nanzhi making money as a village doctor and rushed to become a village doctor, Wang Wanning’s opinion of her changed quietly without her realizing it.

Gu Nanzhi: “!!!”

Hearing this, she was petrified!

What does it mean?

A bloody case caused by a bowl of braised pork?

Female competition or something, it’s late but it’s here?

But it’s not late, it’s too early!

Gu Nanzhi thought that she would have a conflict with Xu Xiangling, but that would have to be after Xu Xiangling was reborn. Unexpectedly…

Xu Xiangling would be jealous of her making money and secretly play female competition behind her back!

Also, the fact that Xu Xiangling and Huo Mingda were together at this point in time, couldn’t it be because of her?

If she remembered correctly, Xu Xiangling’s parents were divorced, and her stepmother was very harsh on her. When she went to the countryside, she didn’t have much money at all, so

where did she get the money to buy medicine?

Thunder rolled!

Gu Nanzhi felt that she had revealed the truth!

Damn it!

She had just been talking to herself in front of Xie Zhenting, saying that this matter had nothing to do with her, but she didn’t expect…

the blame would come from the sky right after? !

“Sister-in-law Nanzhi, how long will it take for my foot to heal?”

Wang Wanning didn’t notice Gu Nanzhi’s abnormality. She looked at her ankle, which was still a little red and swollen, with a face full of bitterness and hatred, “I still have to go to the fields to work!”

“Don’t even think about going to the fields for the time being!”

Gu Nanzhi came back to her senses after hearing this, and said, “It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You have to take care of your foot for at least half a month or twenty! Otherwise, if you get sick and become a lame girl, don’t come to me to cry!”

“Oh!”

Wang Wanning responded dejectedly after hearing this.

It’s okay to delay going to the fields to work. She has her parents to help her, and she doesn’t rely entirely on exchanging centimeters for food. However, the inconvenience of moving due to the injury of her foot does affect her life.

“By the way, since you are not able to move around easily during your recovery period, don’t cook for yourself.”

How could Gu Nanzhi miss the opportunity to matchmake someone with a boyfriend? Before leaving, she said, “My family also needs to cook, so your meal is not a big deal. I’ll send you some when it’s ready, and you can make do with it!”

“How can I be so embarrassed…”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? You went to the countryside to contribute to us, and it’s only right for us to repay you!”

“Then… thank you so much!”

Gu Nanzhi returned to the front yard amid Wang Wanning’s repeated thanks. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Shi Dunniang rushing over…
