"Wife, I'm sorry." Suddenly, Qin Zheng raised his head and said to her very seriously.

Ye Yun was taken aback.

Why is he apologizing to her instead? Isn't he the one who needs comforting now?

"It's my fault for not handling my relationship with her well, causing you to suffer so much injustice for no reason, and you even got injured today." He held Ye Yun's hand tightly, afraid that Ye Yun would be angry.

He felt that he should settle his relationship with Li Xiuying before getting married.

He knew perfectly well what kind of person his mother was.

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng felt even more remorseful and didn't know what to say to express his apology.

He placed his large hand on Ye Yun's waist and gently massaged her injured back, seemingly infusing his apology into the force.

Ye Yun was taken aback.

So that's why he apologized.

He doesn't need to.

No one can choose their birth, and he couldn't choose to have a mother like Li Xiuying either. Moreover, these days everyone values ​​filial piety, and blind obedience is common, regardless of whether the elderly are good or bad. His decision to sever ties with his family despite the gossip and criticism from others was beyond her imagination.

Besides, he's the one who severed ties with his family; isn't he the one who needs comforting?

Oh, what an idiot!

"Qin Zheng, let's not think about these things." She held the man's hand that was massaging her waist tightly, and comforted him softly.

Qin Zheng stared at her intently, wanting to say something, but in the end he could only sigh heavily: "Wife, I'm so sorry. Now you don't have a mother-in-law anymore. Everyone else has a mother-in-law to take care of them, whether it's giving birth or postpartum care, but you don't... Wife, I'm so sorry!"

He hugged Ye Yun tightly, burying his head in her shoulder, too ashamed to face her.

Ye Yun's lips twitched.

Come on, it's not like Li Xiuying would take care of her during childbirth and postpartum!

There's absolutely no need for that!

But seeing how naive Qin Zheng was, Ye Yun didn't want to dampen his spirits. Instead, she smiled and comforted him, "Qin Zheng, don't we still have our aunt? She's such a kind person, she definitely won't let me suffer, right?"

Qin Zheng didn't say anything, and his muffled breathing showed that he wasn't in a good mood.

"Alright, go back to your room and rest."

Ye Yun patted his back and coaxed him gently.

Qin Zheng actually hummed in agreement this time.

The old lady sitting at the entrance of the main room seemed to have heard their conversation. She carefully got up, leaned on her cane, and slowly and unsteadily walked into her own west room.

Once she entered the house, her hunched and thin figure could still be seen in the dim moonlight.

"well……"

At this moment, Qin Xiang'e sighed softly.

Qin Xiang'e touched the old bicycle in her hand with a pained expression. Li Xiuying's push had flattened the bell on the bicycle, and the bell no longer rang out clearly. It was obviously broken.

"Aunt, the moon is gone, don't worry about these things for now, you should go and rest too," Ye Yun called out.

Qin Xiang'e glanced at her embarrassedly, "His wife, do we have to go to town to fix the bell?"

"Yes." Ye Yun glanced at the bicycle and instructed, "But it's too late now, so you don't need to worry about this. Qin Zheng and I will fix it when we have time. You should go back to your room and rest."

Qin Xiang'e listened to the advice and put down her old bicycle, supporting her aching back as she returned to her room.

Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Judging from the situation, Qin Xiang'e fell harder than her. She was only hit by Qin Xiang'e, but Qin Xiang'e was pushed and thrown by the Guo family and fell several times.

"Go buy some medicated plasters tomorrow and put one on Auntie," Ye Yun instructed.

Qin Zheng hummed in agreement.

After Li Xiuying's commotion, which led to the severing of ties, the two lost their previous enthusiasm and went back to the house hand in hand, where they slept fully clothed.

The next day.

After breakfast, Qin Xiang'e and Qin Zheng went to the field to weed, while Ye Yun was tidying up the yard. Unexpectedly, relatives came to visit.
