Chapter 247 My feelings for you are uncontrollable
Zhou Xiye paused for a moment, then frowned as he looked at Jiang Zhizhi: "Mom will be back soon, let's wait until tonight..."
Jiang Zhizhi burst out laughing, and it took her a long time to stop lying on the table: "You... what are you thinking? I'm not that impatient. Hurry up and take off your clothes so I can see your acupoint. When I show it to Sister Song Man and Brother Si Min, I'll be too embarrassed to ask them to take off their clothes."
"Perfect, you can be my nude model, and I'll study you carefully."
Zhou Xiye remained motionless, watching Jiang Zhizhi speak with a serious expression, yet he himself had his own thoughts: "Take it all off?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded seriously: "That's right, there are no men and women in front of doctors, so what are you still worried about?"
She wanted to see exactly what was going on with the acupoints on several private parts.
Zhou Xiye shook his head, imagining Jiang Zhizhi starting trouble everywhere: "That won't do, I can't stand it."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't understand for a moment: "What can't you stand?"
After saying that, she suddenly realized what she meant and glared at him coquettishly: "No way, Comrade Zhou Xiye, your thoughts are dangerous! You can't even pass the test of beauty?"
Zhou Xiye looked up at her intently, then suddenly reached out and pulled her hand down.
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed in surprise, pulled her hand back, covered her mouth, and laughed, but then couldn't help blushing: "It's broad daylight, Zhou Xiye, can't you just hold back?"
Zhou Xiye smiled and pulled her into his arms, kissing her cheek: "I can't help myself when it comes to you."
Before they could make a further move, Song Dong shouted from the courtyard.
Zhou Xiye closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing as he took a breath: "I forgot to tell you, Brother Song asked you for help."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly stood up, straightened her clothes, and ran her fingers through her hair, looking quite puzzled: "You want my help? What can I do to help?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "He didn't say. Go out and see."
The two went out, and Zhou Xiye opened the living room door. Song Dong stamped the snow off his feet and came in, looking at Jiang Zhizhi somewhat apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you again."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and went to pour tea, saying, "Brother Song Dong, if you say that, you're being too polite. I'd really like you to bring your wife and Tongtong over to visit more often."
Mentioning Xu Mingyue and the child, Song Dong sighed heavily, sat down, and went straight to the point with Jiang Zhizhi: "I came here this time hoping you could help me persuade your sister-in-law. She took the child back to her parents' home, and no matter how I try to persuade her, she won't listen. She's also pregnant."
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then realized that this matter was not so simple, and Xu Mingyue was not the kind of person who would make trouble without reason.
It's probably because of that orphan and widow again.
Pretending not to know, she asked, "What's wrong with your sister-in-law? Why did she suddenly go back to her parents' house? It's been cold lately, so she took Tongtong back to stay there. It's quite far from her workplace. Will it be inconvenient for her?"
Song Dong sighed, "She's just so suspicious. You know, a man like me, with an average appearance and an injured leg, who would want me? But she insists that Chen Shuang has taken a liking to me."
“That Chen Shuang is the wife of my fallen comrade. She has a daughter who is about the same age as Tongtong. She’s quite pitiful. Sometimes when I go over to help her, she misunderstands.”
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't say, "I heard everything from my sister-in-law. There's no misunderstanding. That woman was just trying to seduce you."
If she said that, given Song Dong's straightforward nature, he would probably think that Xu Mingyue not only misunderstood him but was also spreading rumors, which would damage the reputation of the widow and her child.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Brother Song Dong, when you were interacting with that woman, did you do anything that could be misunderstood?"
Song Dong quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I'm not that kind of person. I went to help them with their work, and I didn't even drink a drop of water from their house. I was careful to avoid suspicion."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned: "Then... what did Sister-in-law Mingyue misunderstand? Why did she argue with you?"
Song Dong also felt wronged: "I just helped Chen Shuang get honeycomb briquettes, changed her gas cylinder, and fixed her water pipes. Xi Ye, tell me, if you encountered something like this, wouldn't you do something?"
Zhou Xiye glanced at Jiang Zhizhi: "If you want to interfere, I can bring Zhizhi along to avoid the two of you being alone together. Even if nothing happens, outsiders will gossip if a man and a woman are alone together."
Song Dong slapped his forehead: "Fine, so it really is my fault? In such cold weather, you would let Zhizhi take the child and queue up with you to grab honeycomb briquettes, and then deliver them to the other party? I don't believe you don't care about your wife and child. Even if you don't care, I do care about your sister-in-law."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the frustrated Song Dong: "Brother Song Dong, is there anything else that particularly upsets your wife? What triggers your arguments?"
Song Dong nodded: "There really was. It was that time I was catching mice in the middle of the night. I didn't even notice. Your sister-in-law went over and said that Chen Shuang was wearing too little and trying to seduce me. I really didn't see anything. Besides, what she wears is none of my business."
Jiang Zhizhi's expression turned serious: "Song Dong, this is where you're wrong! Think about it the other way around. If you came home in the middle of the night and saw only a man in the house wearing only shorts, how would you feel?"
Without a second thought, Song Dong declared, "I'll kill him!"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Yes, you're very angry. You ask your sister-in-law, and she says that he was just someone I called to help me fix the water pipes, and he got his clothes wet, so I told him to change them. Would you believe that? And would you happily pretend that nothing happened?"
"Oh, right, there's another condition: this man also often asks his wife for small favors, like sewing clothes or sewing on a button. They're all just small things that require no effort. Would you feel comfortable with that?"
Song Dong was stunned for a moment, his face turning somewhat ugly. He couldn't help but think that if Xu Mingyue were to help a man with these things, he would definitely be unable to resist going after that man.
Jiang Zhizhi stared at his face: "Look, you get very angry, you're even thinking about how to deal with that man. So how come when it's the other way around, your sister-in-law getting angry is considered unreasonable?"
"She gets angry because she cares about you. If she didn't care about you, your family would fall apart."
Song Dong frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out: "Chen Shuang and I really have nothing going on. I just felt sorry for her and helped her with some work. Besides, we have an unwritten rule that if one of us passes away, the surviving brothers will take care of his family."
"Isn't this normal?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "It's normal, but who is the object of this normality? If the other party has ulterior motives, but you deliberately ignore them, or if the other party's vulnerability makes you feel protective, do you still think that's normal?"
"You guys are not normal now. If she didn't have ulterior motives, why would she ask you to go find mice in the middle of the night? Couldn't you have put on your clothes properly?"
Song Dong was about to speak when Jiang Zhizhi raised her hand to stop him: "If you're going to say that you didn't notice at all, then put your hand on your heart and think about it carefully. Is that really the case? Did you really not care, or was it just that at that moment, there was a moment when you were overcome by the vanity of being admired and needed?"
Zhou Xiye looked coldly at Song Dong and said seriously, "I agree with Zhizhi's point of view. Brother Song, you were indeed wrong this time!"
