Chapter 129: Unexpectedly, grandpa saw through her thoughts.
Mr. Li's eyes were red, and he said viciously: "Lin Dahai is a beast! I know he is not a good person, and I have tried to persuade your mother, but she insisted on marrying him, and I really had no choice..."
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault for not being ruthless. If I had known this would happen, I would have kept her at home even if I had to break her legs!"
Lin Ziqiu heard her grandfather's choking voice, and tried to hold back her sadness to comfort him, "Grandpa, Mom won't blame you, she just feels that she has no chance to honor you, but it doesn't matter, Grandpa, you still have me."
Old Master Li shed tears and touched her head. "Good girl, promise grandpa that those two beasts deserve to die, but don't let hatred blind your eyes and do something stupid..."
"Grandpa has already...already sent off a black-haired person once...You have to promise Grandpa that no matter what, living a good life is the most important thing!"
Lin Ziqiu felt a lump in her throat, and she couldn't help but seek revenge.
Unexpectedly, grandpa saw through her thoughts.
She pursed her lips and said bitterly: "Grandpa, I won't be stupid, don't worry, but I won't let them go of my mother's matter just like that."
"Zi Qiu..."
"Grandpa, please don't persuade me. I can promise you that I will definitely ensure my own safety and I will not put myself in danger."
Mr. Li knew that she had a stubborn temper, especially when it came to matters related to her mother.
It seems that he needs to remind Zhong Heyang about this matter again. He is old and often has difficulty in moving. Zhong Heyang is different.
He is Zi Qiu's husband.
Based on what he said today, he would not let Lin Ziqiu get hurt.
Not long after, Zhong Heyang returned to the Li family carrying two bags of rice and more than ten pounds of pork and ribs.
Lin Ziqiu didn't expect that he was going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy supplies for his grandfather. She quickly stood up and went to take the things. "You..."
Zhong Heyang looked at her with his deep eyes, and instead of putting the thing in her hand, he walked past her and carried it into the house himself.
Mr. Li looked at him thoughtfully, leaning on his cane.
"Grandpa, please see if there is anything missing. I will bring it to you later."
Zhong Heyang had just heard about the possibility of a flood when he was at the supply and marketing cooperative. Although he didn't know who spread the news, the fact that Ruan Qing distributed supplies at this time was enough to prove that the flood was most likely true.
The old man is old, so it is natural for the young people at home to play a role in matters like this.
Old Master Li narrowed his eyes and said deliberately, "A while ago, Zi Qiu asked me to go to your compound during the New Year. I don't need all the things you sent over."
Zhong Heyang was a little surprised. If it were someone else, his wife would definitely feel resentful if she took the initiative to bring her family to her husband's house to celebrate the New Year without even informing him.
But Zhong Heyang was only filled with joy.
Before, he was worried that Lin Ziqiu didn't really regard the Zhong family as her own home. Now that she can take the initiative to invite her grandfather to live with her, it shows that the Zhong family has become a home recognized by her.
"It seems I need to buy more fish and meat to take home, and also buy some wine, so I can have a few drinks with grandpa."
Mr. Li looked him over with a probing gaze. After hearing what he said, he finally smiled. "Okay, I'll stay at your house for a few more days. Just don't think I'm annoying."
Before, he had some concerns about going to the Zhong family to celebrate the New Year.
But the rain disaster made him feel a little uneasy. He thought Zi Qiu had known about it for a long time, so he invited them to the Zhong family for the New Year so early.
It just so happened that when the time comes, he would call Tian Xiaofeng and his son, and all of their maternal relatives to go, and also let the Zhong family know that Zi Qiu has the support of his maternal family.
"Zi Qiu, go and pour a cup of hot tea for my filial grandson-in-law."
He called out, and Lin Ziqiu came back to her senses. It was so cold outside, and she saw that Zhong Heyang's hands were red from the cold. "I'll go right away."
As soon as she left, Mr. Li told Zhong Heyang, "Zi Qiu cares most about her mother. Now she knows that Lin Dahai and his wife have been cheating on her for a long time. Please take good care of Zi Qiu for me. I'm afraid she will do something stupid in a moment of impulse."
Zhong Heyang came back late and did not hear everything that happened today.
He frowned slightly, "Zi Qiu knows how to act. She won't do anything stupid even for her mother-in-law. But don't worry, Grandpa. As long as I'm here, I will definitely protect her."
Old Master Li sighed quietly. If his poor daughter knew in the afterlife that she had married such a beastly scumbag, she would probably regret it.
He couldn't see his daughter happy, so he would take good care of Zi Qiu for the rest of his life.
After leaving the Li family, Lin Ziqiu put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the tall man beside him. "Thank you for what you did today."
Thank him for protecting me, thank him for giving me enough sense of security, and even for truly treating her relatives as his own.
"Husband and wife are one body. You don't have to be so polite to me."
Zhong Heyang quickened his pace and moved around to her right side, walking side by side with her.
Lin Ziqiu noticed this detail of his and realized that he was deliberately asking her to walk on the inside of the road, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.
She tilted her head and smiled softly, "You're right. I'm just being polite. Don't take it seriously."
Her playful look softened Zhong Heyang's heart.
I couldn't help but raise my hand and pinch her fair face, "Did you miss me during the time I was away from home?"
Lin Ziqiu met the man's fiery gaze. She felt a little shy and turned her head away quickly. "I... why do I miss you? I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to miss you..."
Zhong Heyang felt bitter in his heart, his throat slid up and down, and his deep voice was full of nostalgia, "I miss you, I miss you very much."
"You--" Lin Ziqiu paused, his heart beating so fast that it was deafening.
Zhong Heyang stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, "They say that a day without seeing you feels like a long time. I feel like I have a disease."
Lin Ziqiu raised his head slightly, "Hmm?"
"lovesickness."
Zhong Heyang's mission this time was very dangerous, and he even wrote a suicide note.
He was not afraid of death, but he was very afraid that after he left, she would not want to stay in the Zhong family.
She couldn't go back to the Lin family at all. His heart ached when he thought that she might suffer alone outside.
Lin Ziqiu chuckled and said in a somewhat unromantic way: "Where did you learn this? You are so smooth-talking."
After a pause, she deliberately teased him, frowned, and asked deliberately: "Could it be that before you married me, you were not as aloof from women as they said, and you had secretly dated many women?"
