Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Then It’s a Deal

"But, Uncle, I have a small condition."

Shen Nian blinked and looked at Miao Changquan.

"Wh-what condition?"

The mere thought that his leg, crippled for so many years, might actually one day recover, made Miao Changquan’s voice start to tremble.

"Well, since you’ll be working at our family’s farm, you obviously can’t keep living here. Plus, you’re going to be in charge of sales, so you’ll need to upgrade your wardrobe. But most importantly, Uncle, you have to get a driver’s license."

"A driver’s license?"

Miao Changquan wasn’t bothered by the first two conditions, but Shen Nian’s final words surprised him.

’The driver’s license Shen Nian mentioned... it couldn’t be the kind I’m thinking of, could it? I’ve ridden bicycles, driven oxcarts, and operated tractors my whole life, but none of those required a license!’

’Only those big vehicles in the city need something like a driver’s license!’

’Could she really mean she wants me to get a license for one of those city vehicles? Does this mean... I might actually have a chance to drive one someday?’

"That’s right! Uncle, the farm won’t have too many customers at the beginning, so I plan to put you in charge of deliveries. That’s why, before the farm officially opens for business, you must learn how to drive a truck!"

"Xiao Nian, this..."

’My leg isn’t even better yet, and my niece is already planning so far ahead! And driving a truck... that’s something I never even dared to dream of! But now, Shen Nian was putting that very opportunity right in front of me.’

"Uncle, don’t you worry about anything else. Just focus on what you need to do!"

Hearing Shen Nian’s reassuring words, Miao Changquan composed himself, looked at her, and nodded.

"Alright, Xiao Nian, I promise you. As long as these legs of mine can heal, I’ll do whatever you ask of me from now on!"

"Great! Then it’s a deal, Uncle!"

"Mm."

"Uncle, let me take a look at your leg."

Shen Nian used her Spiritual Energy to examine Miao Changquan’s leg. It was just a joint dislocation and a hairline fracture, but because it hadn’t been treated promptly back then, the injury had only worsened over the years.

It was a good thing Miao Changquan was still young. If this continued, by the time he got older, the rheumatism would be agonizing.

Fortunately, however, Miao Changquan had met Shen Nian. And of all the medical arts her master had taught her, Shen Nian had just about perfected the section on leg injuries.

Miao Changquan’s injury wasn’t considered too severe. Given some time, Shen Nian was certain she could heal it.

"Xiao Nian, how is it?"

Although Shen Nian had just told Miao Changquan she was confident, he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious before hearing the final verdict.

"Uncle, don’t worry! I guarantee I can have this leg of yours completely healed within a month. You’ll be able to run and do whatever you want!"

"Really? Just one month?"

Miao Changquan had tried countless folk remedies and endured so much suffering in the past, all in the hope of healing his leg, but nothing had ever worked.

And now, Shen Nian was telling him his leg could be better in just one month. How could he not be astonished?

In truth, it wasn’t that Shen Nian couldn’t heal Miao Changquan’s leg faster. It was just that doing so would be a bit too conspicuous.

Even with Miao Dagui, Shen Nian hadn’t healed him instantly, instead choosing to nurse him back to health slowly with traditional medicine.

’Otherwise, a sudden, complete recovery would be genuinely frightening.’
