After several months of treatment, Qi Tianxin's body is actually almost back to normal. She still uses her physical condition as a pretext, but only to appear weak.
People are used to taking care of the weak, and her image did indeed garner a lot of help in the brigade.
Zou Jiahui wasn't stupid; he didn't believe Qi Tianxin's explanation at all.
Zou Jiahui: "What's Gao Zhiqing's situation? What's your situation? What do you have that he finds appealing? Why would he deliberately smear you? You think too highly of yourself."
"Don't even mention the educated youth, even me, if it weren't for the fact that you and I were high school classmates, do you really think I would pursue you? With your physique back then, how many people would complain about having too much money to pursue you?"
"Don't say that Gao Zhiqing misunderstood or that I misunderstood. I can see your current physical condition. You still have the energy to run around after a day's work, so don't use your health as an excuse."
"Pay back the money quickly, and we'll be even. As for the work I did for you these past few months, consider it punishment for my poor judgment."
Qi Tianxin still wanted to struggle, but seeing that Zou Jiahui wouldn't budge an inch, she realized that it would be pointless for her to struggle any further, so she finally broke off all contact with Zou Jiahui.
Ding Xiaoxi, having stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip, naturally shared it with her gossip-loving friend, Duoshou. The gossip soon reached Yu Rujia.
Upon hearing this, Duolu stopped practicing his martial arts and ran over in a few quick steps.
Duolu asked curiously, "Auntie, Qi Zhiqing has taken a liking to Uncle Guojing. Will she become a member of our family in the future?"
Yu Rujia flicked the little guy on the forehead: "Who said that?"
Duolu said matter-of-factly, "That's what the village women say. They say that whoever you fancy, you'll be with."
"If Qi Zhiqing takes a liking to Uncle Guojing, won't she end up with him? Then she'll become part of our family, won't she?"
Yu Rujia: "You're talking nonsense. You're not allowed to say things like that outside, you know? Only when two people like each other will they get together."
Duolu pressed on, "Did Uncle Guojing take a liking to Qi Zhiqing?"
Yu Rujia: "You'll have to ask your Uncle Guojing about this."
Duolu: "I'll go ask Uncle Guojing." The little guy said and ran off towards the bike shed in a hurry, with his little follower Duoxi running behind him.
After the two silly brothers disappeared, Duoshou continued, "Auntie, now that Qi and Zou have separated, can't she openly come and pester Uncle Guojing?"
In the past, Qi Tianxin had to come up with a reason to visit Gao Guojing, since Zou Jiahui was always there to block her way. Before Gao Guojing took the bait, she had to keep Zou Jiahui hanging.
Now that Zou Jiahui is gone, Qi Tianxin can freely pursue Gao Guojing.
Yu Rujia: "That's uncertain, we'll see when the time comes."
Speaking of which, in the original owner's memories, ten years have passed, and of the six members of the Xia family with the character "Jing" in their name, four remain, while of the generation with the character "Shi", only Duofu remains.
Ten years later, Xia Jingrong and Gao Shujing, who were born in the Jing generation, looked like they were in their forties or fifties even though they were not yet thirty. At that time, no one looked up to them.
A few years after regaining their freedom, they had money and spent a few more years recuperating, looking more like their actual age, and then they didn't want to look for someone anymore.
The two, now big shots, were constantly causing trouble for Duofu, always showing him a bunch of girls' photos and making him choose, which made Duofu so afraid of them that he would run away at the mere sound of their voices.
Xia Jingxing turned to the dark side, never having a moment of peace, and had long since cut off his own path to marriage and children, destined to remain single for life.
After surviving a dangerous ten-year period, Gao Guojing took the college entrance examination, went to university, and became a university teacher. When he was nearly thirty, he married a girl a few years younger than him.
After being married for many years without having children, Gao Guojing and his wife went to the hospital for a checkup and discovered that Gao Guojing's body had suffered too much damage over the past ten years, and he had lost his fertility.
After this incident, the couple divorced.
In the end, apart from Xia Wenqing's lineage, Xia Yuanqiang's three sons had six sons, and by the time they reached the generation of literate children, only Duofu remained. It can only be said that fate played a cruel trick on them.
With Yu Rujia by their side, no one in the Xia family has been harmed in this lifetime. Everyone is strong and healthy, and even Dorje, who is not yet a year old, can still run around with his puppies.
"Hey, pulling puppies?" Yu Rujia looked in the direction of the barking and saw Dorje sitting on Huajuan, who was smaller than him, pulling on Huajuan's fur with both hands and shouting "Run, run, run!"
The tiny dog was being pressed down by Dorje, panting heavily with its tongue lolling out, almost rolling its eyes back.
Duoshou saw his aunt suddenly stop talking and look in a certain direction. He followed her gaze and saw that, well, Huajuan's life was hanging by a thread.
Duo Shou couldn't bear to see this, so he went over and picked up Duo Ji. Hua Juan took the opportunity to nimbly get up from the ground and run to a corner where Duo Ji couldn't see her.
Duo Shou patted Duo Ji's fur and said irritably, "Hua Juan is just a little ball of fur. You're much heavier than it. You can't sit on it; you'll crush it. Do you still want Hua Juan to play with you in the future?"
Dorje clapped his little hands, grinned at him with lingering enthusiasm, and said, "Play, play."
Duolu ran to the bike shed and asked Gao Guojing directly if he would be with Qi Tianxin.
Gao Guojing almost got his foot hit by the wrench. The sound of the wrench hitting the ground brought him back to his senses.
Gao Guojing said angrily, "Duolu, how could you have such an idea?"
After Duolu recounted the events at the educated youth compound, Gao Guojing realized that Zou Jiahui, whom he had always thought was a fool, had actually stood up for himself.
However, there's no need for him to drag him down with him when he's getting tough. If Qi Tianxin finds out and takes the opportunity to get close to him, he'll be in a difficult situation.
Gao Guojing angrily said, "No, Uncle Guojing will not be with her. If you see her coming over in the future, please help me kick her out."
"You're not allowed to talk about me and her outside. If anyone tries to link us together, you have to speak up for me."
He truly had no affection for Qi Tianxin. Even on the few occasions when they went out together, he learned from others how good Zou Jiahui was to Qi Tianxin, not only giving her money but also doing chores for her.
If Qi Tianxin had rejected Zou Jiahui, it could have been said that Zou Jiahui had been relentlessly pursuing her.
Qi Tianxin accepted all the benefits Zou Jiahui offered her without hesitation, and then went to him to say some ambiguous things, which caused Gao Guojing's impression of her to plummet.
Gao Shujing, who was also working in the carport, said, "Take care of your own business and don't drag the kids into it."
Gao Guojing was extremely frustrated. He had never taken the initiative to contact Qi Tianxin, so how could she have set her sights on him?
Kao Kuo-ching: "I will tell her next time she comes."
