As soon as Zhou Bingchen left, Zhao Zhenzhu opened her eyes.

Perhaps because her past life had been too tragic, Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't sleep soundly at the Zhou family's house.

As soon as Zhou Bingchen moved, Zhao Zhenzhu woke up. Just now, when Zhou Bingchen bent down to tuck the blanket around Zhao Zhenzhu, she thought he wanted to kiss her.

Reaching out to touch her flushed cheeks, Zhao Zhenzhu felt a pang of annoyance.

Didn't she stop loving Zhou Bingchen? Why would she be confused by such a small action of Zhou Bingchen?

After a long separation, Zhou Bingchen originally wanted to have a "deep conversation" with Zhao Zhenzhu tonight, but Zhao Zhenzhu declined, saying that Zhou Bingchen's injury had not yet healed.

Zhou Bingchen didn't insist.

Zhao Zhenzhu originally thought Zhou Bingchen would be angry.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingchen got up and didn't forget to tuck the blanket around Zhao Zhenzhu.

Zhou Bingchen's action reminded Zhao Zhenzhu of the many sweet days she had shared with him in her past life.

In his past life, Zhou Bingchen wasn't entirely without merit, aside from being stingy and unwilling to spend money. At least, every time he went home to visit his family, he would do his best to buy them gifts.

When Zhou Bingchen was at home, he wouldn't let Zhao Zhenzhu do any dirty or tiring work.

When Zhao Zhenzhu had her period, Zhou Bingchen would make her ginger soup and warm her stomach with his big hands.

Zhao Zhenzhu goes to the river to wash clothes, and Zhou Bingchen accompanies her. He lets Zhao Zhenzhu sit by the river and watch Zhou Bingchen wash.

Whenever Zhou Bingchen had free time, he would take care of the two children...

It was precisely because Zhou Bingchen had so many good qualities that Zhao Zhenzhu was so incredulous and heartbroken when she learned of his infidelity in her previous life.

Since they had chosen to continue being husband and wife, Zhao Zhenzhu certainly couldn't refuse Zhou Bingchen's advances every day. However, even after reconciling with Zhou Bingchen, Zhao Zhenzhu still felt resentful.

It was Zhou Bingqiang who sneaked out of the house.

Zhou Bingqiang's mind was filled with images of the delicate widow Liu, and his heart was burning with desire. He didn't even notice Zhou Bingchen following behind him.

Zhou Bingchen did not follow too closely.

Zhou Bingchen was speechless as he watched Zhou Bingqiang enter Widow Liu's house.

The dream came true again.

Just as in his dream, Zhou Bingqiang got involved with Widow Liu.

So, could he really not be Zhou Fugui's biological son? Are Tian Shanhua and Zhou Fugui really spies?

Zhou Bingchen stood in the shadows, his eyes fixed on a pear tree branch extending from the wall of Widow Liu's courtyard, a conflicted feeling in his heart.

Wait a minute, should he make a scene and get the villagers to catch him in the act?

Should we wait a little longer?

After entering the house, Zhou Bingqiang quickly closed the courtyard gate and quietly made his way to the room where Widow Liu was sleeping.

Just as Zhou Bingqiang was about to knock on the door, it opened with a push.

"Lily, I'm here! I've missed you so much!" Zhou Bingqiang took off his clothes and pounced on the bed.

Zhou Bingqiang rushed to the empty bed; there was no one there.

"Lily, Lily?" The room was dimly lit, and Zhou Bingqiang couldn't see his surroundings clearly, so he called out softly.

"Brother Bingqiang, did you bring the things?" Widow Liu's voice rang out from outside the door.

Two days ago, Widow Liu asked Zhou Bingqiang to write her a letter of introduction for her business, as she wanted to return to Haishi to visit relatives.

Fearing to offend Tian Shanhua, Zhou Bingqiang kept saying that the company seal was in Zhou Dazhu's hands, making the matter difficult to handle.

In a fit of anger, Widow Liu refused to let Zhou Bingqiang touch her, kicked him out, and told him never to come back.

“I’ve brought everything I need, Lily, come in quickly. A moment of bliss on the night of love is worth a thousand pieces of gold!” Zhou Bingqiang said with a grin.

Zhou Bingqiang thought that Widow Liu was just being petty.

"Hmph!" Widow Liu sneered and locked the door.

Hearing the click of the lock, Zhou Bingqiang was startled and rushed to the door. He pushed it, but couldn't open it. He quickly asked, "Lily, why did you lock the door?"

“Brother Bingqiang, have you forgotten? I told you that if you lie to me again, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in the village anymore. Tell me, should I shout ‘Catch the thief! Catch the hooligan!’” Widow Liu said softly.

Zhou Bingqiang broke out in a cold sweat.

If Widow Liu really shouts "Catch the thief! Catch the hooligan!", will he still have the face to live in Zhoujia Village afterward?

"Lily, I've got the letter of introduction you wanted. I promise, I'm not lying to you," Zhou Bingqiang said hastily, flustered.

When Widow Liu turned her back on someone, she really did.

The night before last, Zhou Bingqiang was kicked off the bed by Widow Liu after a disagreement, and his buttocks are still aching slightly.

"Brother Bingqiang, please stop lying to me. Every time you say 'guarantee,' you're just lying," Widow Liu sighed.

“Lily, I’m not lying to you. Open the door and come in. I’ll give you the letter of introduction right away,” Zhou Bingqiang said, his eyes darting around.

As long as Widow Liu opens the door, Zhou Bingqiang doesn't believe he can't handle her.

Men are naturally stronger than women.

Widow Liu is clever, but her fighting skills are quite poor.

“Brother Bingqiang, I won’t be foolish enough to believe you anymore, unless…” Widow Liu paused here.

"Unless what?" A sense of foreboding welled up in Zhou Bingqiang's heart.

“Unless you hand me the letter of introduction through the window, and I want to see it with my own eyes, I won’t believe you again,” said Widow Liu.

Zhou Bingqiang was dumbfounded and had no choice but to tell the truth: "Lily, I... I haven't had time to get it done yet! I plan to get it done for you tomorrow morning."

"Hehehe... Zhou Bingqiang, didn't you just say you got it done? You dare to come into my room tonight if you didn't get it done? Do you really think I, Liu Moli, am easy to fool?" Liu Moli's voice had lost its charm, and was cold as ever.

"Lily, Zhou Dazhu has been in the office all day, I didn't get a chance!" Zhou Bingqiang hurriedly explained.

"Fine, then let's fight to the death tonight!" Widow Liu said bitterly.

Zhou Bingqiang was startled.

If Widow Liu really summons people, he'll be in big trouble.

Not only will they lose their position as village accountant, they might even be sent to a labor camp!

"Lily, please don't do this." Zhou Bingqiang pleaded hurriedly, "I've been trying to figure something out these past two days! Although I haven't gotten the letter of introduction right away, I've managed to get the key to Zhou Dazhu's office. Let me out, and I'll go with you to the brigade headquarters right away to get the letter of introduction sorted out for you."

“Pass me the key through the window,” Widow Liu said after a moment of silence.

Zhou Bingqiang hurriedly handed over a set of keys.

After clarifying the purpose of the keys, he said, "Brother Bingqiang, I'm going to the brigade headquarters now. If you're not lying to me, I'll let you go when I get back."

"No! Lily..." Zhou Bingqiang wanted to call out again, but the sound of Widow Liu's footsteps gradually faded away.

Widow Liu gripped the key tightly, a surge of excitement welling up inside her.

What Widow Liu wanted was not a letter of introduction, but a certificate to return to the city.

Previously, Widow Liu planned to take it one step at a time, first getting Zhou Bingqiang to issue a letter of introduction. Later, she would use the letter of introduction to blackmail Zhou Bingqiang into issuing her a certificate to return to the city.
