When Will He Recover?

Those who had been close to Lu Ding were now overjoyed, as they were all given priority.

The Lu family knew full well that Lu Ding had always shielded Lu Hang, even after the incident, so they were willing to give him this opportunity to boost his standing.

As for arrangements from outsiders, the Lu family didn’t interfere. Even when relatives came pleading, they remained firm, stating it wasn’t something they could decide.

The specifics of the modifications couldn’t be revealed, so after the harvester arrived at the Lu household, Lin Nannan took charge with the help of Lu Fang, his brothers, and Lu Ming. She intended to pass the task to them to avoid having to handle everything herself in the future...

Unable to refuse such an opportunity, the Lu family reluctantly agreed.

While the Lu household was swarming with people, Zhang Dabang’s men bypassed the Lu residence and entered through the Han family’s property, linking the Han family’s backyard to the Lu family’s. After some adjustments, they began sending people to learn harvester modifications from Lin Nannan. The benefits for her weren’t explicitly stated, but she received a sum of money and generous provisions. Given Lin Nannan’s many skills and the Lu family’s need to avoid drawing attention, her contributions were kept unspoken.

Only a handful knew Lin Nannan was involved—even within the Lu family. Everyone made Lu Ming the public face, as they all recognized Lin Nannan’s importance...

Despite her busy schedule, Lin Nannan always made time to brew medicine for Lu Hang, though she entrusted the herb-gathering to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan had been assisting her from the start and had learned enough to handle simple herbs. Besides, Lin Nannan would inspect whatever she collected, so the task went smoothly.

However, seeing how tirelessly Lin Nannan worked—still insisting on personally preparing Lu Hang’s medicine—the Lu family, touched by her devotion, offered to take over. Yet she refused.

“If the medicine is overcooked, it’ll lose its potency,” Lin Nannan said, shutting down further protests.

Lu Hang admired her persistence but grew frustrated.

He hated knowing he was adding to her burden, especially seeing her so overworked. If possible, he wished to recover quickly so he could shoulder everything for her, letting her focus only on what she loved...

He could tell Lin Nannan wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about modifying harvesters. She kept asking about the harvest. But with harvest season imminent, every village was desperate to finish before the heavy rains—lest their half-year’s labor go to waste. Some villagers would’ve camped on the Lu family’s doorstep.

Under such circumstances, Lu Hang couldn’t bring himself to dissuade her. After all, it concerned the villagers’ livelihoods...

“What’s wrong?” Lin Nannan asked after he finished his medicine, noticing his troubled expression. “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

“When will my leg get better?” he asked.

Lin Nannan raised an eyebrow. “You’re already standing. Why the rush?”

If Lu Hang pushed himself, he could walk within two days. But with so many people around—especially since Zhang Dabang knew he was recovering—letting him walk so soon might shock others into sending him away. So Lin Nannan held him back to avoid relapse. Eager to improve and desperate to escape the confines of his bed, Lu Hang had no idea she was managing his recovery—nor did he realize just how fast he was healing.
