Since the engagement, the Zhou family has treated Zhou Xiaoye much better because of Li Weidong's words.

Not only were their rooms moved to the east-facing room with the best lighting, but the quality of their daily food and clothing was also improved many times over.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is at the age when she is growing. Now, after resting for a while, she has not only grown taller, but also gained weight.

Li Weidong held her close, and the soft touch against his chest instantly reminded him of his past life in the cornfield.

In his past life, he rejected Zhou Xiaoye, but in the dead of night, besides regret, he was also haunted by that tender body, which he could not shake off.

Even after being reborn, I still occasionally dream of that scene.

Now that the person was in his arms, it immediately stirred up the deepest memories in his mind.

Li Weidong gasped and almost reflexively pushed Zhou Xiaoye away.

Then I secretly felt relieved; thankfully, the pants were loose enough...

Zhou Xiaoye was so embarrassed by his embrace that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly pushed away and almost fell, leaving him stunned.

Li Xiaoli also saw this and immediately became anxious: "Brother, what are you doing! Why did you push Xiaoye?"

"I...I didn't mean to!"

Li Weidong panicked: "Xiao Ye, are you alright?"

Zhou Xiaoye shook his head slightly, his expression somewhat gloomy.

When she was pushed into Li Weidong's arms, besides feeling shy, she also felt a faint sense of joy.

She liked Li Weidong.

Putting aside Li Weidong's handsome appearance, the fact that he stepped forward to save her on the day she got engaged to Zhang the Cripple was enough to make her secretly fall in love with him.

But Li Weidong's act of pushing her away was like a bucket of cold water on a freezing winter day, completely extinguishing all her reverie.

Zhou Xiaoye recalled what Li Weidong had said during their engagement.

Once she gets into university and becomes capable, the engagement can be called off; marriage isn't always necessary.

In other words, Li Weidong might have saved her simply because he felt sorry for her and because she was his sister's classmate.

As for anything else, there's absolutely nothing left.

The more Zhou Xiaoye thought about it, the more upset she became, and she couldn't help but feel regretful.

I wish I hadn't come today!

Li Weidong didn't know why she suddenly became upset, so he could only blame it on Li Xiaoli.

He glared at Li Xiaoli and said, "You brat, I'm warning you, you're not allowed to meddle in my business with Xiaoye from now on. I'll call her whatever she wants. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up!"

Li Xiaoli pouted: "I didn't say anything wrong. She should call you husband!"

"You still dare to talk!"

Li Weidong flicked her forehead.

Li Xiaoli covered her head and yelled, "You jerk! Now that you have a wife, you don't care about your sister anymore! I'm going to tell Mom and she'll teach you a lesson!"

He then ran out.

Suddenly, only Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaoye remained in the courtyard.

"Well..."

Thinking about what had just happened, Li Weidong felt a little embarrassed: "Come in and sit down. I wonder where Lili has gone off to. Are you reading?"

“She has quite a few books, let me show them to you.”

Zhou Xiaoye nodded silently.

The atmosphere grew increasingly somber.

Li Weidong was completely baffled and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

They were fine just a moment ago, so why did they suddenly become unhappy?

They really say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

My own wife is really hard to figure out!

...

It was rare for Zhou Xiaoye to visit, and Zhao Xiulian was happier than anyone else.

When I came back from picking vegetables, I had a large piece of meat in my hand.

Holding the pork belly with two parts fat and three parts lean in my hand, it looked incredibly tempting.

Li Xiaoli followed behind, carrying a basket of vegetables, complaining incessantly: "Mom, I said a few days ago that I wanted to eat dumplings, but you always said it was too much trouble. Now that Xiaoye is here, you're eager to cut some meat and say you want to make dumplings."

"Why are you both so biased towards my brother?!"

Zhao Xiulian said irritably, "I didn't make dumplings for you, but you said you wanted fish soup, so I went to the river to catch some fish for you. You wanted meat, and we've always had meat at home."

"Even if you wanted to read that classic novel, your brother went and bought it for you a long time ago. What more could you want?"

He sighed again, "You know what kind of situation your sister-in-law's family is in. She rarely comes to visit, so what's wrong with your brother and I being nice to her?"

"You brat, she was so close to your brother before they got engaged, how come you hate her now that she's your sister-in-law?"

Inside the house.

Zhou Xiaoye was holding a book, but he was listening intently to what was happening outside.

To be honest, when Li Xiaoli complained about Li Weidong's favoritism, she was worried.

After all, in her heart, Li Xiaoli was her best friend, and she didn't want to lose that friendship.

Now she wants to hear Li Xiaoli's true feelings.

"What's so annoying!"

Li Xiaoli protested, "Mom, don't wrong me! What does it have to do with Xiao Ye if I think you're biased towards my brother?"

"Xiao Ye is my best friend. Don't try to sow discord here. Even if I want you and my brother to favor her, you can't forget about me!"

Zhao Xiulian chuckled: "Silly girl, since you don't dislike Xiaoye, then if your brother marries her, wouldn't that mean you'll have another person who loves you?"

"Ono will definitely treat you well after she marries into our family, isn't that good?"

Li Xiaoli pouted: "I told you, it's not that I hate Xiaoye being my sister-in-law, I just hate that you guys are biased."

Zhao Xiulian shook her head: "Alright, alright, for lunch, let's make some pork and cabbage dumplings, and some sauerkraut and pork crackling dumplings. That should make you happy!"
