Gu Zi had visited the pig farm once before, so she was quite familiar with the route, making it a swift trip.
As she was about to enter, she nearly collided with someone rushing past her.
“Sorry, are you okay?” The young man stopped and inquired.
Gu Zi recognized him immediately; it was the youth named Li Zhu. “I’m fine. What brings you here?” she asked.
“It’s you! Are you here to deliver lunch to Brother Shen? Let’s go in together,” Li Zhu suggested.
“Alright,” Gu Zi agreed, and Li Zhu helped her carry the lunchbox as she held Su Le in her arms.
As they walked through the farm, they were greeted warmly by the people there, and the other young wives couldn’t help but comment on how cute Su Le was.
“Kids are like this. No. 3 looks especially well-behaved and adorable now.”
“Yeah, it’s not like when Chu Xi used to take care of her. She got dirty all the time.”
“I think this new one is really good to the child.”
In the office, Su Shen was busy with some work.
When he spotted Gu Zi, he approached her and reached out to take Su Le. “Why did you bring Lele along? Let me hold her.”
Gu Zi explained as she passed Su Le to him, “I wanted to let Lele bask in the sun.”
Su Shen’s heart ached for Gu Zi. He saw Li Zhu, who had come with her, and asked, “Did you get the information?”
Li Zhu handed him a note before leaving.
At the table, Gu Zi had already opened the lunchbox, releasing the delightful aroma of pork chop.
Su Shen said, “Li Zhu has found out the new address of the Lin family. I’m free tomorrow. Do you want to go together?”
Gu Zi was taken aback by Su Shen’s efficiency. She agreed, saying, “Okay, you should eat first. It tastes best when it’s hot.”

Gu Zi realized she could provide a simple remedy.
Su Shen said to Gu Zi, “You can go back first. I have to deal with some things now.”
Gu Zi wasn’t in a hurry to leave and instead questioned Su Shen further, “Are these pigs vomiting and defecating? Additionally, they haven’t been eating much for the past few days and seem less active.”
Su Shen confirmed her observations, “Yes, a few days ago, I thought it was because of the heat, so the pigs weren’t very active.”
With confidence, Gu Zi said, “I’ve heard of such cases in the city. It can be treated with a prescription.”
One of the men who had come to find Su Shen voiced his concerns, saying, “Sister-in-law, this is a serious matter. You can’t just come up with random solutions.” He doubted the ability of a city girl like her to know about pig farming.
Su Shen briefly glanced at the man, causing him to fall silent.
“It’s not a minor issue. Are you sure you can handle it?” Su Shen asked Gu Zi.
After some contemplation, Gu Zi assured him, “Yes, I learned about it from an elderly veterinarian in the city.”
She suggested a course of action, “How about this? I’ll explain the procedure to you, and you can write it down. If you find it trustworthy, you can proceed with it, alright?”
Su Shen looked at her gentle and firm gaze and chose to believe her.
They would have to journey together through life for many years in the future, and trust was the most basic.
Su Shen took a pen and paper. Seeing this, the person wanted to persuade him not to mess around with Gu Zi, but Su Shen said, “If anything happens, I’ll bear the responsibility alone.”
The man sighed and walked out of the office angrily.
Gu Zi looked at Su Shen with admiration in her eyes.
