Chapter 43 Suspecting She's Crazy

He was afraid that saying this would really upset Xie Zhizhi, and that Xie Zhizhi might actually go crazy.

If he really goes mad, so mad that he loses all sense of reason, then he will truly have let Xie Zhizhi down.

Therefore, Zhou Lin decided to secretly go to the doctor to ask about the situation.

Xie Zhizhi quickly finished her breakfast. As she got up to wash her lunchbox, Zhou Lin reached out and took it from her. "Let me wash it. Aren't you going out to sell things?"

Xie Zhizhi immediately became mischievous again, raising her hand to slap his chest muscle, "Husband, you're so good, you really love your wife."

Xie Zhizhi: It feels bouncy and elastic.

I want to get close to you.

Zhou Lin flinched again when he was slapped, his ears visibly turning red. "I'll go wash up first, you pack your things!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and went into the kitchen.

Xie Zhizhi: Shy? Hmm?

interesting!

When Zhou Lin came out after washing the lunchbox, Xie Zhizhi was packing things to sell.

It was prepared last night and installed very quickly.

Zhou Lin came over to help her carry it, and Xie Zhizhi showered him with compliments, saying, "Honey, you're so good to me!"

Then Zhou Lin's ears turned red again.

Xie Zhizhi: Wow, it's like a switch. You press it and it turns red-hot. How interesting!

Xie Zhizhi followed Zhou Lin downstairs. Once downstairs, Xie Zhizhi prepared to take her things. "Honey, give me your things. I need to catch the bus."

"I send you!"

"No need, it's too much trouble for you. I can go by myself." After saying that, Xie Zhizhi grabbed her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and strode away.

Zhou Lin watched her walk away, a hint of regret flashing in his dark eyes.

He couldn't break the rules and discipline, but he should have been more patient with Xie Zhizhi, and perhaps he should have talked more about his difficulties.

Instead of constantly avoiding her, to the point that she's gone crazy now.

He used to think he would be driven crazy, so he never considered that Xie Zhizhi could also be driven crazy by the Xie family.

Zhou Lin asked for half a day off. Actually, he was entitled to a day off after completing the mission, but he felt he didn't need it, so he didn't ask for it.

Now that I need another half-day off, my boss said, "I heard your wife is here. Why don't you take a few days off and take her out for a drive?"

Zhou Lin had previously thought the vacation was unnecessary, but after hearing what his superior said and considering Xie Zhizhi's situation, he nodded, "Yes!"

Zhou Lin took leave and went to the city hospital to register for a psychiatric appointment.

Sitting across from the doctor, Zhou Lin hesitated for a long time before saying, "I'm not here to see a doctor!"

The doctor glanced at the doorway. "Is the patient outside?"

“She didn’t come!” Zhou Lin said.

"Is the patient's condition very serious?" The doctor's expression turned grave.

Zhou Lin shook his head slightly, considering how to say it.

The doctor said, "Tell me why you think she needs to see a psychiatrist."

Zhou Lin frowned. "She used to be a quiet person, but now..." As if thinking of something, Zhou Lin's ears turned red again.

"Do you know her well?" the doctor asked, observing his expression.

Zhou Lin nodded. "She's my wife!"

The doctor paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure. "Then tell me in detail what you think is abnormal."

Zhou Lin glanced at the door of the doctor's office. The doctor said, "Don't worry, I don't have many patients here. You're the first one this month, no, the first one in the last six months."

“Strictly speaking, you don’t really qualify,” the doctor said with a smile.

Zhou Lin expressed his understanding, saying that everyone has just had enough to eat and is not willing to spend money on medical treatment, let alone mental illness.

"Tell me about it," the doctor gestured to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin's face turned even redder.

But he still recounted Xie Zhizhi's changes, concluding, "She wasn't very close to me before!"

The doctor tapped his pen lightly on the table. "According to what you said, the way her family pressured her might have made her realize who truly cares for her."

"Of course, it's best to bring the patient in for a face-to-face consultation so I can better assess the situation."

"Based on what you've said, the patient recently experienced a major emotional shock, which led to a significant change in his personality. Under these circumstances, we should avoid further agitating the patient in the near future."

"You'd better get her to accept coming to me for treatment, otherwise..." the doctor shrugged. "You know, nobody wants to be suspected of being mentally ill."

“If she can’t accept it, and you bring her here rashly, I’m afraid it will upset her again, and there will be unpredictable consequences.”

Zhou Lin nodded, indicating that he understood.

——

After entering the city, Xie Zhizhi set up her stall in front of a department store.

At the new intersection, with a new flow of people, her attractive and inexpensive goods drew many people to stop and admire them.

Xie Zhizhi was grinning from ear to ear from receiving so much money that she had no idea that Zhou Lin suspected she was crazy and had even taken her to a psychiatrist for treatment.

At the new intersection, there was a wide variety of goods. Xie Zhizhi sold more than sixty items in one morning until all the things she brought were sold out.

Around 12:00, she ate something outside before boarding the bus to go home.

Leaning against the car window, Xie Zhizhi, feeling drowsy, decided that she would definitely bring more things tomorrow.

She thought that the new location wouldn't sell well, but to her surprise, it sold even better than the old location, and everyone was scrambling to buy it.

Xie Zhizhi: It's true what they say, if they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will!

When Xie Zhizhi finally got home after changing buses, it was almost 3 p.m.

Insert the key into the lock, and the door opens from the inside.

Seeing the people inside, Xie Zhizhi asked in surprise, "What are you doing at home?"

"I had a vacation after completing my mission, so I took a break."

"That feels so good?"

Xie Zhizhi said with some regret, "I should have brought you with me to help me sell things. Do you know how well business has been since I changed locations today?"

"I sold over sixty yuan in just one morning."

Is it one-third of your salary?

"One day!" Xie Zhizhi said proudly.

Zhou Lin tactfully took the empty bag from her hand. "Hmm, very impressive!"

Xie Zhizhi immediately put her hands on her hips and asked, "Is there a reward?"

"A reward?" Zhou Lin glanced at the untouched bankbook on the coffee table. "I only have a few dozen yuan left, the rest are meal tickets. Do you want it?"

Xie Zhizhi used to only want money, so Zhou Lin subconsciously assumed that these were the rewards Xie Zhizhi wanted now.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhizhi immediately spat out, "Pah! Pah! Pah!!"

Who wants these things?

She raised her arm, ready to lean against Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin subconsciously took a step back and held her arm with his hand.

Xie Zhizhi "..."

"Is my sister short of money?" Xie Zhizhi asked, leaning on his arm.

Zhou Lin looked at her and asked, "Whose sister are you?"

Xie Zhizhi stood still and waved her hand, "That's not important!"

The important thing is...

"Can I have a kiss as a reward?"

Zhou Lin asked, puzzled, "What kiss?"

Xie Zhizhi gestured for Zhou Lin to bend down, and Zhou Lin obediently bent down.

Xie Zhizhi tiptoed up and "smack!"
