Fortunately, seeing that he was anxious, Zhao Shuhua concealed her smirk and stopped teasing him.
She knew what Peng Zhang was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud. As a girl, how could she have the nerve to say it out loud?
Peng Zhang was speechless for a long time, which made Zhao Shuhua a little annoyed. "What about me? Can't I attend the party?"
"No, no, I can."
"Uh, that's not right."
"You can't participate, no, you can participate..."
Peng Zhang panicked and all the logic in his head became confused. He subconsciously didn't want Zhao Shuhua to attend the banquet, for fear that she would fall in love with another man.
But rationally, he knew that they had nothing to do with each other now, and he had no right to ask others not to attend the party.
Seeing that he couldn't get to the point for a long time and almost confused herself, Zhao Shuhua stomped her foot angrily and turned to leave. "Take your time to think it over here. I'm going back first. The patients are still waiting!"
Peng Zhang panicked now and quickly raised his hand to hold her, "Shuhua, don't go." Provoked by this, all the words that he had been holding back in his heart came out all at once.
"Shuhua, I, I like you and don't want you to attend the banquet. I get anxious just thinking about the possibility of you falling for those officials' sons at the banquet.
I know I'm just a merchant, and I'm out of my league, but I swear I'll treat you well in the future."
Zhao Shuhua lowered her head in embarrassment, and listened to him with a red face. Only then did she realize that he was still holding her hand. She looked around guiltily and subconsciously pulled her hand back.
Peng Zhang thought she was rejecting him, and his bright eyes dimmed instantly. He was feeling sad. But then he heard the shy voice of the person in front of him, "We are in public, please be careful about the impact."
Hearing the helplessness and affection in Zhao Shuhua's tone, Peng Zhang suddenly regained his spirits. He raised his head and looked directly at Zhao Shuhua. Only then did he realize that the little girl's cheeks had already turned red. He immediately said excitedly, "Shuhua, you, you agree?"
Zhao Shuhua was startled by his excited voice and quickly stopped him, "Keep your voice down."
What they are doing is somewhat of a secret transaction, and this guy is so loud, does he really have to make it known to everyone?
"Shh!" Seeing that Zhao Shuhua was shy, Peng Zhang immediately fell silent and put a finger in front of his mouth.
"You idiot." Looking at Peng Zhang's happy and excited expression, Zhao Shuhua said she disliked him, but she was very happy in her heart.
However, although she was happy in her heart, she still remembered what Tian An said, put away the smile on her face, and began to give Peng Zhang a shot of prevention.
"Don't be too happy too soon. I have a few more conditions. Please listen to them first. If you can accept them, we can talk about it later."
She had thought a lot these days. She wanted to live as freely as Tian An. She didn't want to be like other women who were bound to the backyard after getting married. She wanted to practice medicine for the rest of her life.
If Peng Zhang cannot agree to her request and let her continue to treat patients and save lives even after they get married, she will give up this relationship.
Rather than causing unrest in the family because of this matter in the future, it is better to use courtesy first and then force, and make things clear with him first.
Hearing this, Peng Zhang was a little worried, afraid that he could not meet the conditions proposed by Zhao Shuhua, but he still said: "You say."
Anyway, no matter what the conditions are, they can't stop me from liking her. If the conditions are really harsh, I can just work hard to achieve them.
Soon, Zhao Shuhua told Peng Zhang that she would continue to practice medicine in the future, and even for the rest of her life.
After saying that, she looked at Peng Zhang nervously, not sure whether he cared about his future wife showing up in public all day.
After hearing this, Peng Zhang was silent for a moment. Just when Zhao Shuhua thought he couldn't accept it, he heard him say in a silly tone, "Is that the condition? Is that considered a condition?"
"?" Zhao Shuhua was confused by his reaction. Thinking he didn't understand her, she continued, "What I mean is that even if we get married in the future, you can't interfere with my medical studies and my ability to save lives. You can't make me give up my medical practice for any reason."
Peng Zhang still had the same expression. "I understand what you mean. I can't stop you from becoming a female doctor! But is this even a condition?"
He had just thought that Zhao Shuhua would propose some conditions that would make him go through hardships or give away all his family wealth!
"Don't even mention stopping you from practicing medicine. I'd even let you open a clinic for you."
Hearing this, Zhao Shuhua said foolishly, "Aren't you afraid that people will talk about your wife being immoral for being out in public all day?"
After hearing what Zhao Shuhua said, Peng Zhang finally understood her concerns and immediately patted his chest to assure her, "Don't worry! We merchants aren't that picky. Even my mother often helps with business matters when my father is away!"
Perhaps it was influenced by his mother, so when he met Tian An in Jinning County, he did business with Tian An, a little girl, without any hesitation.
However, thinking of what he had just mentioned, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. He looked at Zhao Shuhua as if to ask for credit, "How about I open a clinic for you as a betrothal gift?"
Zhao Shuhua was stunned, and then began to scold him, "How could you do this? My master worked so hard to teach me, and the maternity and children's hospital has only been open for a short time, and you actually urged me to abandon you and burn the bridge after crossing the river? You are so ungrateful. You are my sister-in-law's good friend, you are simply..."
Because of just one sentence, Peng Zhang was almost scolded like a dog by Zhao Shuhua. Not only did he not say a word of rebuttal, he also looked at her and laughed foolishly, which made Zhao Shuhua start to reflect on whether she had gone too far. After all, he was doing it for her own sake.
Peng Zhong sighed aside, it seems that there will be another wife slave in the mansion from now on.
After Zhao Shuhua had scolded him enough, Peng Zhang said timidly, "Then I'll have my mother bring someone to propose marriage tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Zhao Shuhua blushed and lowered her voice. She wanted to nod but said, "Wait a little longer! My cousin hasn't come back yet!"
Peng Zhang was in tears. He was really being controlled by this couple. First, Tian An was scolded for so long by his future wife, and now whether he could get married depended on the mood of Zhao Yiming. Did he owe money to this couple in his previous life?
Fortunately, the mental injury was short-lived, and he immediately recovered. "Then I'll go back and prepare the betrothal gifts. Is there anything you want?"
Zhao Shuhua's face turned even redder, and she said shyly, "You can handle it yourself." Then she ran back to the maternity and child hospital.
Peng Zhang watched her enter the room, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze. He then slapped Peng Zhong on the head and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Peng Zhong covered his head pitifully, "Master, it hurts so much."
Peng Zhang was satisfied. "Yes! It hurts, then it's not a dream. Let's go back and prepare the betrothal gifts."
Peng Zhong: “…”
