Ever since An Hongdou heard about the existence of the black market from the older sister, she has been excited about it.

Unfortunately, she had just arrived and did not dare to act rashly, so she could only put her thoughts aside for the time being.

An Hongdou returned to the hospital carrying a basket full of things. Before she even entered the hospital, she saw the young nurse who brought her in yesterday, giving Shen Xiangzhi an injection and an IV. Aunt Cui next door no longer looked down on people, and several people were talking and laughing happily.

An Hongdou walked in with a basket, and the young nurse just grabbed Shen Xiangzhi's wrist. Both of her hands were white, tender, slender, and seemed transparent under the sunlight outside the window.

An Hongdou put the basket aside and sat casually on the bench next to it.

The young nurse straightened up after inserting the needle, and then adjusted the IV bottle, and gently instructed Shen Xiangzhi, "Comrade Shen, there are still two bottles of saline to be hung today. I will come to check later. If you have any questions, just call me."

"I see. Thank you, Nurse Li." Shen Xiangzhi's clear and moist voice touched people's hearts, and it was a pleasure to listen to it.

But unfortunately, Nurse Li's kindness is only directed towards Shen Xiangzhi.

When facing An Hongdou, although her face was not ugly, she had lost her smile, and her voice was cold and not pleasing at all, "You should be Comrade Shen's family, right? Comrade Shen is injured in the leg, and has a low fever. Now is the time when he needs someone to accompany him. If you are fine, it is better not to run around. Otherwise, Comrade Shen needs help but can't find anyone. Isn't it pitiful?"

An Hongdou looked at Nurse Li with interest. "If you need help but can't find anyone, can't you just ask Nurse Li to come and help?"

These words, which seemed to have a hidden meaning, made Nurse Li's porcelain-white face turn red.

“You…what nonsense are you talking about?” While Nurse Li was speaking, her eyes quietly glanced at Shen Xiangzhi.

However, Shen Xiangzhi didn’t know whether he didn’t see it or not, and turned a blind eye to it.

"I didn't say anything." An Hongdou smiled, "Does Nurse Li not want to come and help?"

“Of course not.” Nurse Li hastily denied, her eyes fell on Shen Xiangzhi’s face again, and she blushed and said, “If Comrade Shen has any problem, I am naturally willing to help.”

An Hongdou wasn’t angry yet, but Shen Xiangzhi’s face darkened.

Looking at An Hongdou who was still in high spirits, Shen Xiangzhi said, "Wife, pour me a glass of water." Nurse Li felt as if she was struck by lightning.

An Hongdou didn't expect that he would say such a thing directly. After all, their marriage was a last resort, and with her image, any normal person would avoid it, right?

He shouted it out so carelessly, isn't he afraid of bringing shame to his image?

Although she thought this in her mind, An Hongdou still went to pour water.

Nurse Li looked as if she couldn't recover from her shock. She asked Chen Xiangzhi blankly, "Comrade Chen, she...she is your wife? Are you kidding me?"

Looking at the handsome man in front of me, and then looking at the woman who looks like a black bear, I can't understand why these two people are actually husband and wife.

She didn't even think that they were relatives, after all, their appearances were too different.

She thought that this woman was just hired by his family to take care of him temporarily.

After all, with Shen Xiangzhi's appearance and temperament, if you didn't know that he was just an educated youth from the countryside, you would think he was a nobleman from some family.

Shen Xiangzhi nodded calmly, “Yes, we just got married not long ago, and I went out yesterday afternoon to get the marriage certificate.”

"How is that possible?" Shen Xiangzhi's repeated admission made Nurse Li's eyes red, and the tears in them were about to fall, which made her feel very pitiful.

With a lost face, Nurse Li looked at Shen Xiangzhi aggrievedly, "Comrade Shen, you...why did you marry such a wife? Is there something you can't tell me?"

At this time, she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart.

If Comrade Shen really had something to hide, she could understand.

She...she didn't mind his married status. This was the first time she met a man who made her heart move, and she was willing to wait for him.

And Shen Xiangzhi's expression has changed from calm to cold, "Nurse Li, the saline solution has been hung up, you should go and help those in need, I don't need you to worry about it here."

The meaning of rejection is self-evident.

Nurse Li turned her head and secretly held back the tears in her eyes.

An Hongdou came back from fetching water and happened to see this scene when she was standing at the door.

Nurse Li also went out and happened to see An Hongdou standing at the corner. Her expression suddenly changed from pitiful to full of resentment. When passing by her, she deliberately bumped her with her shoulder.

It’s a pity that with An Hongdou’s physique, no matter how hard she tries, she is the only one who suffers.

An Hongdou didn't move at all after being hit by Nurse Li, but instead took a few steps back due to the usual impact.

After finally standing firm, he looked at An Hongdou angrily again, and then left unwillingly.

An Hongdou was glad that she had steady hands and feet, otherwise, the huge cup of boiling water would have poured directly onto her.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard Aunt Cui inside saying, "Young man, I see you are a handsome man, but why did you marry such a wife? She looks like a black bear spirit. Did your family force you to marry her?"

Uncle Cui blamed her, "What nonsense are you talking about, you old woman? What does it have to do with you what kind of wife someone marries? Why are you here to interfere?"

Aunt Cui was not afraid of him. She said, "I am just confused. I originally thought that Nurse Li was pretty good and a good match for this young man. At first I just thought that the woman might be someone from his family who came to take care of him. I never thought that such a good-looking young man would marry such a wife!"

Every word in his words was a praise for Shen Xiangzhi and a disparagement of An Hongdou.

Since she came here yesterday, apart from the kindness from her own family, she felt the malice of the whole world.

It's her fault that she is ugly!

Who did I offend?

An Hongdou usually doesn't look for trouble, but there is no reason for her to be belittled like this.

Just as she was about to go in and fight back, she heard Chen Xiangzhi: "Which wife I marry is my own business. It has nothing to do with you outsiders, and you don't need to meddle in my business."

An Hongdou's originally angry heart suddenly felt relieved.

"Hey, young man, why are you so ignorant? Auntie just feels it's not worth it for you to have such a wife." Aunt Cui felt that her kindness was being ignored and she was very angry.
