"Brother Huo, how about I go with you? I have nothing to do, so I might be able to help."
Li Ruhua didn't want to stay in the city and be with Wu Peilan every day, so she couldn't help but volunteer.
Huo Changqing's expression was distant, "No, it's not appropriate for you to do this kind of thing as an outsider."
Zhang Jingjing didn't like this Li Ruhua, and she also had a bad impression of him. His eyes were sneaky, and he was not a stable person at first glance.
Now that something like this has happened in Zhang Jingjing's family, it stands to reason that most people would avoid suspicion appropriately. She didn't know how to avoid it, but she still wanted to get involved. Is this a matter that a guest should take care of? It's too devoid of self-awareness.
When Zhang Jingjing heard what Huo Changqing said, she couldn't help lowering her head and snickering. This man's words were always so to the point.
The word "outsider" was enough to slap Li Ruhua in the face.
Sure enough, the expression on Li Ruhua's face instantly condensed, and her whole body was about to burst.
In the end, she could only reply: "Since it's inconvenient, forget it. I'm also worried about you."
Huo Changqing ignored her and started practicing with the wheelchair.
"Let's go, I'll go shopping with you."
Before it's too late, I went to the mall to buy a watch for Zhang Jingjing. When I leave tomorrow, I only need to buy some food.
"What to buy? Can't you buy it tomorrow?"
"I'll buy you a watch today."
When Zhang Jingjing heard this, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up. If she could go back with her watch, it would be quite a prestigious thing.
"Okay, then I'll push you up."
Zhang Jingjing told her parents-in-law and pushed Huo Changqing out.
When Li Ruhua heard that Huo Changqing wanted to buy Zhang Jingjing a watch, she was both envious and jealous. At this time, a watch was a symbol of the rich. After all, it was not a necessity. Who would be willing to spend more than a hundred dollars to buy this thing.
Huo Changqing is really generous to his mother-in-law.
At this time, Li Ruhua hadn't realized that Huo Changqing and Zhang Jingjing had feelings. She felt that it wasn't Zhang Jingjing who was good enough, but Huo Changqing who was responsible.
After going out, Huo Changqing first spent money to call Qiao Kang'an and told him about leaving for the countryside tomorrow, and then the two of them went to the mall.
When they arrived at the store, the two went straight to the watch section.
Huo Changqing didn't say anything, leaving Zhang Jingjing to make her own choices. Zhang Jingjing was well-dressed and pretty, but the salesperson didn't dare to show off to her, so she was quite patient.
Zhang Jingjing didn't want to buy something too expensive. After all, the economy was still a little tight now, so she had to save money. She would have to spend another sum of money when she returns to the village tomorrow.
Fortunately, she got her bride price back, otherwise even if she had a salary, she would still be short on money.
"Just buy this."
Zhang Jingjing finally chose a Meihua brand. The price was more than 140, which was within the affordable range.
"Like this?"
Huo Changqing glanced at her.
Zhang Jingjing nodded, "Well, that's it."
"If you like something else, that's fine. I'll make up for the money you need."
Huo Changqing was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so he quickly added.
When the salesperson saw how generous he was, he couldn't help but sigh. How could such a handsome young man be so disabled?
"No, I just like this one, wrap it up for me."
The salesperson collected the ticket and money and helped Zhang Jingjing wrap the watch.
By chance, Zhang Zhizhi and Huo Jianming passed by. They had just eaten and were visiting the mall.
It's been a while since the last time Zhang Zhizhi took the initiative to show her kindness. Huo Jianming saw that she had been silent for so long, so he took the initiative to invite her out for dinner today.
Zhang Zhizhi stayed at home and was worried all day long. When she saw Huo Jianming coming to her for dinner, she thought it would be good to go out and relax.
Since the Huo family didn't come to find him, it meant that the matter was not exposed. Otherwise, according to their temperament, they would have come to ask for an explanation.
What she didn't expect was that she would meet Huo Changqing and Zhang Jingjing just by walking around.
She has now learned about Huo Changqing's current situation from others. She knows that he is not dead, but just injured. Now that she sees him sitting in a wheelchair, she feels a little regretful.
Even if she is not dead, even if she is disabled, then Zhang Jingjing will have no hope at all from now on.
If it had been in the past, she would definitely have gone over and ridiculed him, but she didn't dare to do it today, because she had something wrong with her.
Zhang Zhizhi wanted to hide away, but Huo Jianming on the side refused to let go of this opportunity. Now he was at the height of his success, his career was going smoothly, and Huo Changqing's beloved female comrade also threw an olive branch at her.
On the other hand, Huo Changqing, not only put himself in a wheelchair, but also had to live with a country woman like Zhang Jingjing for the rest of his life.
Zhang Zhizhi was unable to escape in the end because Huo Jianming had already strode over.
"What a coincidence, Chang Qing. I heard that you were injured, and I planned to visit you tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet you today."
As Huo Jianming spoke, he beckoned Zhang Zhizhi to come over.
"I just had dinner with Zhizhi. Come here to hang out. What are you doing?"
Huo Changqing glanced at Huo Jianming and then at Zhang Zhizhi, with an indifferent expression.
"Come buy a watch for Jingjing and accompany her back to her parents' home tomorrow."
Zhang Zhizhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand next to Huo Jianming.
"It seems I have to see you again in two days. Why do you have to go out before your injury is healed? You must pay attention to your health."
Huo Jianming said with hypocritical concern.
"It's okay, the injury is not serious."
Zhang Zhizhi carefully observed the expressions of Huo Changqing and Zhang Jingjing, trying to read something on their faces.
Seeing that the two of them looked normal, no different from usual, she felt relieved.
It seems that the old lady was really confused. She has probably forgotten what happened before, so she doesn't have to worry about it in the future.
Zhang Jingjing glanced at Zhang Zhizhi's arm, which was empty. Although the Zhang family was in good condition, they still wouldn't buy a watch for Zhang Zhizhi. After all, the price was about to catch up with bicycles.
Finally got such an opportunity, so naturally he had to bury her for a few words.
He deliberately took out the watch from the box and said, "Chang Qing, put it on for me."
Huo Changqing raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to help her put on her watch, and waited for the show.
Sure enough, after Zhang Jingjing put on the watch, she deliberately said to Zhang Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, can you help me see if this watch looks good?"
Zhang Zhizhi didn't feel so panic now, thinking that the Huo family didn't know what she had done anyway, so there was no need for her to be frightened.
"It's okay, but yours is cheap, right? If you want to buy it, you should buy an expensive one. The expensive one looks better."
Although Zhang Zhizhi doesn't have a watch, she is quite knowledgeable and has seen it at the counter before.
Zhang Jingjing thought to herself that she was really unforgiving. She didn't even have a hair tie on her arm, and she even disliked her watch worth more than 100 yuan.
"Really? Which one is more expensive? Did you buy the more expensive one? Let me take a look."
