"Your son has caused harm to me. It's merciful of me not to ask him to compensate."
"It's not too much to send him to squat for a few days, right?"
Jing Huaizhi pushed the frame of the mirror with his knuckled hands, and spoke slowly and slowly that made Xia Yuzhen stunned.
"Or do you mean to pay back the money for him?"
The man's lazy voice was a little hoarse.
Zhuli's expression was blank, it was obvious that this was not the case, so why did he take everything on himself.
Xia Yuzhen hesitated for a long time, then bent down to pick up the feather duster that was thrown on the ground.
"Okay, you little bitch, is this the wild man you raised outside?"
"Help me lie to you, right? Let's see if I don't beat you to death today!"
She pulled Zhuli's long hair hanging on her shoulders, waving the "sharp weapon" in her hand and looking like a poisonous snake.
Zhuli was grabbed by her hair and couldn't escape for a moment, so she had to raise her head and struggle.
Suddenly, there was a scream.
Xia Yuzhen fell to the ground in pain.
Looking up at the instigator, he is holding Zhuli in his arms.
Jing Huaizhi's eyes were stern and he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: "Next time, it will be more than just a kick."
Zhuli's palms were stained with sweat, and she stared at the man hugging her quietly.
"Zhang Village, I think Liuguan Village is more suitable to be developed into a circus."
The corners of his mouth curled up in contempt, and his tone was not friendly.
Zhang Dai immediately understood the meaning and scolded Xia Yuzhen: "Don't you think it's embarrassing? Get out of here!"
Aunt Zhang now completely understood the relationship between the two, but she still felt uneasy.
Xia Yuzhen's eyes were filled with vicious light, but she could only stare.
He picked up the feather duster on the ground and hobbled away, holding on to his waist.
After being tormented like this by Xia Yuzhen, Zhuli didn't dare to go back for the time being, so she could only stay at Aunt Zhang's house for dinner with Jing Huaizhi and Du Jianzhou.
On the dinner table.
Aunt Zhang's bright eyes glanced at Zhuli and Jing Huaizhi for a few times before she said hypocritically: "Young man, do you have a girlfriend?"
Du Jianzhou was drinking soup and almost burst into tears when he heard Aunt Zhang's words.
Zhang Dai glanced at her and smiled helplessly: "Don't be surprised if the old woman talks like this."
Du Jianzhou took out a tissue to wipe his mouth and joked: "Aunt Zhang, do you want to introduce me?"
Aunt Zhang arched her eyebrows and said calmly: "What do you think of our pears?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuli and Du Jianzhou both held their hands on the table and coughed.
Du Jianzhou quietly glanced at Jing Huaizhi, who was sitting opposite. He seemed to have no expression.
"Aunt Zhang, please stop talking." Zhuli looked stiff and was a little afraid to speak.
Aunt Zhang was still smiling and turned her gaze to Jing Huaizhi: "What about this young man?"
Jing Huaizhi's eyebrows were steady, and his hands picking up the vegetables didn't even stop.
"already married."
Zhuli seemed to be nailed to the spot and stretched out her hand to gently tug at the corner of his clothes to tell him to stop talking.
"Oh, that's it." Aunt Zhang was a little disappointed and said nothing.
If it's what he said, wouldn't the pear be...
Aunt Zhang didn't dare to think about it, and planned to let Zhuli break up with him after dinner.
After dinner, Zhuli and Jing Huaizhi took a walk on the roadside, and Du Jianzhou wisely stayed at Aunt Zhang's house.
"Where's Lizi?" After noticing that the two of them disappeared at the same time, Aunt Zhang stood up and wanted to go out and chase them.
"Go back, go back." Du Jianzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said randomly.
——
Zhuli lowered her head as if she had done something wrong.
"So he's not the friend you said you were?"
"Where are you staying tonight?"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Zhuli was slightly stunned, do you still want to say it?
Jing Huaizhi's sharp gaze swept across her face and he didn't answer.
"I'm sorry I lied to you."
She softened first and acted like a good girl.
His eyes were filled with interest, and he smiled and pinched the back of her neck.
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it." Warm fingertips gently rubbed the end of her eyes.
Zhuli licked her lips, hinting at sadness.
"She is my stepmother, and that brother is not related to me by blood."
"Um."
Jing Huaizhi stroked her hair and inserted his fingertips into her hair, and responded lightly.
"I can handle it myself." She suppressed her discomfort and pretended to be calm.
"Okay, you can solve it yourself."
He leaned down and hugged her and kissed her little moving head.
Zhuli pressed her cheek against his chest but couldn't calm down at all.
Fortunately, he didn't ask about her and Liu Rui's affairs in detail.
"when are you leaving?"
Her eyes fluttered, and she looked up to meet his eyes.
"Want to come with me?" His eyes were full of affection as if they were about to overflow.
Zhuli looked at the pair of eyes that reflected her face but did not dare to answer for a long time.
Zhuli, can't you see that he is sincere to you?
Or do you really want him to take out his heart and show it to you?
Zhuli, he has told you a long time ago that you just look like his Bai Yueguang.
Isn't his feeling for you out of guilt?
Are you really the one he likes?
It felt like two elves were fighting in her ears, and she swallowed back the words that were choked in her throat.
"Boss, you're so busy, so you better leave me alone."
The corners of Zhuli's eyes raised slightly, and she forced out a smile.
Jing Huaizhi was not satisfied with this answer and his face darkened a bit.
"You have no conscience and you rush to kick me away after helping you?"
She took his arm and smiled lightly: "No, I just feel that the group cannot do without the boss."
She's the best at flattering!
In the early morning, Zhuli tiptoed home.
She seemed to understand the meaning of Jing Huai's words.
She got up before dawn the next day to cook, and the clanging of pots and pans woke up Xia Yuzhen, who was still sleeping.
Thinking that there was a thief in the house, I hurriedly got up to check.
Although I was a little surprised to see Zhuli cooking at this point, I didn't expect to scold her.
In the next few days, Zhuli followed Xia Yuzhen and did her daily work.
"Zhuli! I asked you to pull weeds, why did you pull out all my vegetables?"
Xia Yuzhen, who had just returned from the field, was so angry that she stamped her feet back and forth.
Zhuli's hand holding the bowl relaxed: "Huh? Mom, I thought those were weeds."
The porcelain bowl smashed to pieces on the cement floor, and Xia Yuzhen was so angry that she almost lost her breath.
Pointing to the ground and then Zhuli: "Why is there so much sand in the porridge you cooked this morning?"
She bit her lip with her teeth and looked confused: "I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't pay attention when I was washing the rice."
Xia Yuzhen patted her chest, but anger boiled in her chest.
The angrier she gets, the calmer the person opposite her becomes.
Her face turned red and white, and her blood pressure soared.
"Mom, I'm going to pull the weeds again."
As soon as Zhuli finished speaking, Aunt Li next door was holding a shovel on her waist and yelled: "Xia Yuzhen, you damn widow, where did you dig up all the vegetables in my field?"
Xia Yuzhen stood unsteadily and held on to the wall with a groggy voice: "It wasn't me, it was Zhuli who did it."
Aunt Li didn't believe her lies because her credibility in everyone's eyes was zero.
"Stop making excuses! If you make a mistake, just blame it on the child."
"If you don't give me back my food, I want you to look good!"
Aunt Li rolled up her sleeves and put her hands on her hips.
