Chapter 20 Officially Going to Work
Zhong Heyang has always been reluctant to get married. In this era, if he kissed a girl from another family, he would definitely marry her.
Zhong Heyang lowered his head and stared at her, "Are you jealous?"
Lin Ziqiu stuttered, "I, I didn't!"
"Don't worry, I have never kissed anyone other than you, neither before nor in the future." The man had a faint smile on his face.
Meeting the man's fiery gaze, Lin Ziqiu felt a little overwhelmed and opened his eyes subconsciously.
She coughed twice and said softly, "Well, it's really late now. I want to go to bed."
Zhong Heyang knew that she was shy, but there was a long time to go, so he was willing to give Lin Ziqiu some time to adapt.
"Eat your meal before going to sleep. Grandma left some food for you."
Lin Ziqiu was stunned for a moment, "I've eaten at the restaurant."
Having said that, she stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to bring out the food to prevent it from getting spoiled.
Zhong Heyang held her shoulders and said, "I'll go clean up. You go to sleep first. You don't have to wait for me."
Lin Ziqiu blushed and whispered, "Who wants to wait for you?"
Zhong Heyang heard her murmurs, curled his lips into a smile, and then went downstairs. When he returned to the room, the person on the bed was already asleep.
He tiptoed off his coat and lay down carefully.
Looking at the sleeping profile of the little girl, Zhong Heyang secretly kissed the corner of her mouth and smiled softly.
Have a good night's sleep.
Lin Ziqiu woke up early the next morning and looked at the empty bed.
She got dressed and went downstairs, just in time to run into her grandmother.
Li Guixiang smiled from ear to ear and asked meaningfully, "Did you sleep well last night?"
When Lin Ziqiu thought about how Zhong Heyang carried her into the house last night and was caught by her grandmother, she immediately realized the meaning of her words.
Her face instantly turned red, and she shouted embarrassedly: "Grandma..."
Li Guixiang patted her hands and said, "Look how thin you are now. You need to eat more so that you can have the strength to give birth to a baby."
"I know you want to go out and earn money, and grandma supports you, but the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. If you feel very tired, don't force yourself to work. Come home and grandma will support you." Li Guixiang's words touched Lin Ziqiu.
She is very lucky to meet such a good elder.
Although she knew that her grandmother treated her well in large part because she wanted to hold her great-grandson, she could also feel her grandmother's kindness towards her.
"I see. Thanks, grandma."
Li Guixiang was filled with joy and said, "I made some dumplings this morning and put them in the pot to steam. They are still hot. Go and eat them quickly and eat more."
After saying that, she went into the house to see if the two children had woken up.
As soon as Lin Ziqiu entered the kitchen, he ran into Zhong Xuexi.
Zhong Xuexi was putting dumplings into the aluminum lunch box. When she saw Lin Ziqiu coming, she glanced at her unhappily and said, "Some people are flirting with other girls under the guise of going out to make money."
Lin Ziqiu didn't indulge her: "You can't live without men. If you are so short of men, I will find a few for you."
Zhong Xuexi's face turned pale, "Who is short of a man? What nonsense are you talking about!"
"You are the only one allowed to talk nonsense, but I am not allowed to speak?" Lin Ziqiu walked past her and said in a light tone, "You are already an adult. If you have the time to be sarcastic with me, you might as well think about how to get married."
In the past, Lin Ziqiu didn’t want to make the relationship with Zhong Xuexi too strained.
After all, she and Zhong Heyang had an agreement that she would fulfill her duties as a wife and naturally would not conflict with his family.
But that doesn't mean she can always tolerate Zhong Xuexi's deliberate provocation and slander.
Zhong Xuexi's face turned cold instantly, and she wished she could tear Lin Ziqiu to pieces.
"What do you know! What does it have to do with you whether I get married or not?"
Lin Ziqiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does what I do have to do with you?"
She approached Zhong Xuexi step by step, her eyes cold, "Your brother won't say anything about my affairs, so how can you have the qualifications to provoke me again and again?"
Zhong Xuexi originally thought that this cheap sister-in-law was a soft persimmon that she could manipulate at will.
But at this moment, she actually felt that the other party was not a good person.
She was not stupid, so she naturally understood that Lin Ziqiu had always given in to her before.
For a moment, it seemed as if she had become the vicious sister-in-law who couldn't tolerate her sister-in-law.
Zhong Xuexi bit her lip unwillingly, "Who wants to mind your business! Am I not worried that my brother's reputation will be ruined by you?"
"I'm too lazy to tell you!"
Although she was clearly in the wrong, Zhong Xuexi was a person who refused to accept defeat, so she rode away on her bicycle in a bad mood.
Lin Ziqiu curled the corners of her lips. She seemed to have figured out Zhong Xuexi's personality.
When it comes to her family members, she is soft-hearted and will not tolerate toughness. When you see her arguing with her grandmother, even ten donkeys couldn't pull them back. But when her grandmother coaxed her softly, she was willing to go down the stairs and go home.
When facing this "outsider" who had just married into the family, she was completely tough and would not respond to soft words.
I think it will be a long time before she comes to me to seek a sense of existence.
Lin Ziqiu ate a plate of dumplings, and before leaving, she told Li Guixiang not to leave any food for her in the evening.
There is still some distance between the compound and the state-owned hotel, and it takes about forty-five minutes to walk there.
The shop is basically closed in the morning and is busy with purchasing, preparing food, cleaning and other things.
Tian Xiaobo was wiping the table when he saw Lin Ziqiu coming. He walked over and asked, "Sister Xiaoqiu, your husband didn't do anything to you last night, did he?"
Lin Ziqiu thought of what she said last night, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she shook her head, "No."
Tian Xiaobo was half-believing and half-doubting. After all, the way Zhong Heyang looked at him last night was as if he wanted to eat him.
And the tone of his voice was not nice...
Tian Xiaofeng came over and said, "Sister Xiaoqiu! I heard that your husband is the head of the group. Will you be punished if you make him angry?"
Lin Ziqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No way."
Judging from Zhong Heyang's personality, it is likely that only Zhong Zhiyang will receive this treatment.
"If he dares to bully you, just tell my father! He will support you!" Tian Xiaofeng brought up his own father with a clear conscience.
Tian Xiaobo glanced at his brother with a look of disappointment, "You are really promising."
Tian Xiaofeng touched the back of his head and said, "What do you know? If I stand up for Sister Xiaoqiu, I will definitely get beaten!"
Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't bully me."
"Sister Xiaoqiu, if you have any problems in the future, just call me. I will definitely help if I can!" Tian Xiaofeng patted his chest very righteously.
Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "Okay."
Tian Gui's voice came from the kitchen, and Tian Xiaofeng ran over in a hurry.
In the morning, Lin Ziqiu and Tian Gui were discussing the new menu, and Jiang Lin and Li Laoer both came.
"Xiaoqiu, how do you feel? Can you adapt?" Jiang Lin looked at Lin Ziqiu with admiration in his eyes.
The spicy and sour bean sprouts he packed and brought home yesterday were eaten up by his picky daughter, leaving not a single bit for him.
Lin Ziqiu didn't stop picking vegetables and smiled, "I can adapt. I like it here very much."
