Chapter 80 I'll buy you a new dress every month from now on.

Hao Ke's hoarse questioning did not receive a response from Pei Jiuyan.

He didn't even glance at Hao Ke, and went straight to Qin Suisui's side: "Is Little White Ball alright?"

Qin Suisui was furious. The little white ball was only a month old, a tiny little guy. How could Hao Ke have stepped on him? Looking at the bloodstains at the corner of the little guy's mouth, she couldn't help but transfer her anger towards Hao Ke onto Pei Jiuyan.

She looked up, her clear eyes fixed on Pei Jiuyan, and said resolutely, "I'm tired of all this commotion. If you can't handle your private affairs, then handle ours."

After saying that, she dodged Pei Jiuyan's hand that was touching the little white ball, picked it up, walked around Pei Jiuyan, and went straight into the house. She opened the first-aid kit and focused on squatting in front of the sofa to treat the little guy's wounds.

Zan Zan wiped away her tears and quickly ran after him.

The scene froze instantly.

Seeing Pei Jiuyan's particularly unpleasant face, Song Yunlai quickly stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over: "Keke, you too, that little white ball is just such a small dog, why did you put so much effort into it?"

After saying that, she tugged at Pei Jiuyan again: "Ayan, don't say such hurtful things. I was just joking with you. Besides, we've had such a long-standing friendship, how can we just break off our friendship like that?"

She then looked at Chi Donglin, who was standing there dumbfounded: "Donglin, what are you standing there for? Aren't you going to come and talk to him?"

Chi Donglin didn't move; he stood there, his expression grim.

Song Yunlai tried to persuade them for a long time, but no one spoke. Only Hao Ke's low sobs echoed in the air. He scratched his head and irritably took off his apron. "I don't know what's wrong with them. They've made me feel like I'm caught in the middle. Fine, I don't care anymore!" After saying that, he picked up a plate of dumplings and sat down to eat by himself.

"You came uninvited, hurt my dog, and bullied my family. Comrade Hao Ke, please leave immediately. If we meet again, pretend we don't know each other! If you continue to bother me, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Pei Jiuyan said this almost through gritted teeth.

Sensing the murderous intent in his words, Hao Ke involuntarily shuddered, all her previous bravado vanishing. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Chi Donglin: "Brother Donglin, I came here to find you..."

Chi Donglin closed his eyes, his head aching. Looking at Hao Ke, who was stubbornly standing there, he couldn't bring himself to be cruel. He got up and pulled her out.

The courtyard was suddenly filled only with the slurping sound of Song Yunlai eating dumplings. Pei Jiuyan kicked him in annoyance: "You get out too!"

Song Yunlai covered his buttocks: "What! I didn't offend any of you! I still want to eat chicken..." Seeing Pei Jiuyan's eyes, he wisely didn't finish his sentence and simply ran away with a plate of dumplings.

The yard finally quieted down. Pei Jiuyan stood at the entrance of the living room, watching Qin Suisui squatting by the sofa, carefully treating the little white ball's wounds, and then gently carrying it into the doghouse.

Then she gently and meticulously washed Zan Zan's face, without even glancing at him once.

A mocking smile played on his lips as he strode over and grabbed her hand: "Are you that worried about the dog he gave you?"

Qin Suisui frowned. Pei Jiuyan was using tremendous force at this moment. Although he had controlled himself, it still hurt her a little. She struggled hard, trying to pull her hand away, but Pei Jiuyan only gripped it tighter.

Seeing her resistance, Pei Jiuyan's eyes welled up with tears: "You're going to the Hongqiding Brigade tomorrow to see him, right?"

Finally realizing what Pei Jiuyan meant, Qin Suisui frowned, looked up at him in disbelief, and asked, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Pei Jiuyan's eyes were bloodshot: "Do you know what you're doing?"

Her wrist felt like it was locked in an iron clamp, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free. Qin Suisui's anger, which hadn't subsided, reignited, and she blurted out without thinking: "What did I do? What exactly did I do? I only slapped her once, what? You feel sorry for her? Then slap her back for her!"

"If you like her, why are you clinging to me like this? Why don't you just divorce me and marry her? She's waited for you for so many years, I'm doing her a favor!"

"I'm really sorry for being an obstacle in your path and ruining your relationship of over twenty years. Now I'll walk away on my own, okay?"

As she spoke, she mustered her courage, let go of Pei Jiuyan's hand, went upstairs to get the marriage certificate, and turned to leave.

Pei Jiuyan's eyes turned even redder. He picked up Qin Suisui, who was rushing out, and carried her on his shoulder, striding upstairs.

The more he acted this way, the angrier Qin Suisui became. She struggled desperately against his shoulders, shouting, "Let go of me! You beast, get away from me! Don't touch me!"

The more she struggled, the more violent Pei Jiuyan became. He seemed to have lost his mind, unable to hear her words, and just kept going upstairs.

He had never done this before, and he had never treated himself like this before. The difference in strength between men and women was too great, and Qin Suisui could not resist. Finally, she could not help but sob softly.

Hearing the little girl's soft sobs, Pei Jiuyan froze. He quickly put her down from his shoulder and pulled her into his arms. All the anger he had shown earlier was gone, replaced by worry on his face: "I'm sorry, baby. Did I hurt you? Where does it hurt? Tell me."

Qin Suisui remained silent, her pent-up grievances erupting, and she just kept crying.

Seeing her like this, Pei Jiuyan felt heartbroken.

He hurried into the room and gently placed her on the bed, wanting to check if he had hurt her. But the little girl was like a little eel; as soon as she left his embrace, she immediately shrank into the corner of the bed, keeping her far away from him.

Pei Jiuyan was both annoyed and amused. He could only move gently to the edge of the bed, but as soon as he moved over there, Qin Suisui immediately shrank back to a more secluded spot, refusing to even touch him.

Pei Jiuyan knew he had really angered her, so he could only keep apologizing: "I'm sorry, baby, I know I was wrong. When I heard you wanted to divorce me, I lost my temper. I carried you back to the room because I was worried you would run away. Don't be afraid, I won't touch you anymore."

Seeing that Qin Suisui still didn't speak, he could only explain one by one: "I swear, I have never had any other feelings for Hao Ke. I played with her when we were little because Chi Donglin liked her."

“I never thought about divorcing you. I’ve said it before, I don’t want anyone but you in this life.”

After crying for a while, Qin Suisui released her emotions and realized that she had spoken too harshly. Of course, she knew that Pei Jiuyan didn't have those kinds of feelings for Hao Ke, but in that atmosphere, some things just slipped out in the heat of the moment.

She buried her head under the covers and spoke in a muffled voice, "I don't have those kinds of feelings for Ruwen. I promised to go to Hongqiding Brigade tomorrow because he asked someone to invite me to see a doctor for infertility."

After saying that, Pei Jiuyan, who had been looking gloomy, suddenly laughed.

He knew that Grandma Qin was an expert in treating infertility.

So that's how it is.

He stepped forward and picked Qin Suisui up, holding her in his arms. Looking at her red eyes, he felt heartbroken: "Anyway, this is my fault. Don't worry, I will talk to Yunlai and Donglin tomorrow and make things clear. I don't care how they get along with her in the future, but I will never get along with her as a 'friend' again."

"If she provokes you again in the future, you don't have to put up with it for my sake. Just do whatever you want."

Touching the bruises on her wrist, Pei Jiuyan's eyes were full of heartache: "Also, I swear, I will never use brute force on you again."

Looking at her skirt, which he had accidentally torn during the struggle, Pei Jiuyan frowned, wondering just how much force he had used.

Knowing that the girl had always loved beauty and pretty clothes, he grabbed the torn hem of the skirt and said, "I'll buy you ten new skirts after I get paid in a couple of days." He had basically given all his salary to Qin Suisui for safekeeping, so he didn't have any extra money on hand.

His expression was as serious as if he were taking an oath to join the Party. Qin Suisui couldn't help but laugh through her tears: "This dress just had a loose thread. It can be sewn up and worn again."

Seeing her finally smile, Pei Jiuyan breathed a sigh of relief. Ten dresses could buy back her smile, it was totally worth it!

He shook his head: "If I say I'll compensate you, I will. I'll buy you a new dress every month from now on."

Before the Qin family had any trouble, her parents-in-law often bought her new clothes. There's no reason why she should stop getting new clothes after she married him.

Qin Suisui's eyes widened: "Ten is already enough, there's no need to buy them every month!"

Pei Jiuyan had already made up his mind and didn't intend to say anything more to her. He simply patted her head and said softly, "Are you hungry? I'll go downstairs and get you some dumplings."

Qin Suisui nodded. She had been rolling out dough and making dumplings all afternoon, and after all that commotion, she was starving. Pei Jiuyan brought out the cooked dumplings, and she ate more than twenty in one go.

After dinner, Pei Jiuyan attentively served her a bath, washed her clothes, and coaxed Zanzan to sleep. Then, he went to the room and looked at Qin Suisui sleeping peacefully on one side of the big bed. Only then did Pei Jiuyan feel at ease.

How long has it been since he last lost his temper like this? He always prided himself on being calm and composed, but it seemed that all his composure vanished when it came to her, especially when it came to that man…

As if he had thought of something unpleasant, he stubbornly pulled the already sleeping Qin Suisui into his arms, and only felt at ease when he smelled her sweet fragrance.

The next morning, Pei Jiuyan woke up refreshed and found the marriage certificate that he had accidentally left under the stairs the night before. He carefully locked it in a small drawer that only he had the key to.

Just as he stepped out of the bedroom, Song Yunlai burst in, shouting, "Ayan! Something terrible has happened! Donglin didn't come back last night!"

Pei Jiuyan was speechless: "He's a grown man, and he has his own apartment. What are you worried about?"

Song Yunlai pursed his lips, his expression not very good: "But he left with Hao Ke yesterday, and it is said that Hao Ke did not go back either, and people from their team have come looking for him."
