Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

In order to save her nephew, Deng Hongling did not refuse but thanked her profusely.

Before Feng Qingxue left, she attended to the wound on Deng Hongling’s forehead, cleaning the blood, disinfecting it, applying antiseptic, and covering it with several layers of white gauze using tape. Upon closer inspection, Feng Qingxue noticed scars all over her scalp, forehead, neck, and cheeks. Most of them were small and scattered, except for the long and deep scar on her face. Her dull, yellow hair was cut in a chaotic mess.

Noticing Feng Qingxue’s gentle gaze, Deng Hongling forced a bitter smile and said, "Our family background is not good. We’ve been criticized and beaten frequently. I’m used to everyone avoiding us. Now, I just want to save Xiaowo’s life."

Feng Qingxue patted her shoulder, "Things will get better. As long as there’s life, there’s hope."

Tears instantly rolled down Deng Hongling’s cheeks, and she hastily wiped them away, "I’ll go rub Xiaowo with alcohol."

Feng Qingxue also took a thermos from the bamboo basket, went out, bought half a bucket of rice porridge and a few vegetable buns, and retrieved a few hard-boiled eggs from her space during the journey.

Deng Hongling had already followed her instructions to give her nephew physical cooling treatment and said awkwardly, "I don’t have money now, could I pay you later?"

Feng Qingxue poured the porridge into a broken bowl on the damaged table, saying, "No need to repay me; it didn’t cost much anyway."

"Xiaowo is already much better. You’ve saved his life. How can we take it for granted that you spend money without us paying you back?" Deng Hongling insisted, "Please give me your name and address. I’ll repay you as soon as I can."

Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, "If you want to repay it, donate to an orphanage when you are able; it’ll be as if you’ve paid me back."

Deng Hongling was stunned for a moment and then said softly, "You are truly a good person."
