Although this amount is not large, it is not small either. Since we are leaving, we must get it back.
Zheng Dongmei didn't expect her to suddenly bring this up, so she naturally refused to give it to her.
"I don't have any money on me now, but I will definitely pay you back when I have some."
Zheng Xinyue didn't waste any more time talking to her. After chatting for a while, she found an excuse to ask Zheng Dongmei to leave.
However, before leaving, she told her parents about this. When Zheng Dabiao heard it, he realized that it was two hundred yuan and he definitely couldn't just let it go like that.
"Go ahead, kid. Don't worry, I'll definitely return this money. Remember to make it big over there, but don't forget home. Send us some extra money if you have time. We have a lot of expenses at home."
Zheng Xinyue responded casually, but the words went in one ear and out the other. When she returned, she found a car parked at the door, and two middle-aged men were talking to Zhou Muchi in the yard.
When they saw Zheng Xinyue, their expressions were inevitably a little strange.
In their hearts, Zhou Muchi was unattainable. Even though he became disabled later, he was still a talent.
I didn't expect that he would be so poor as to marry such a country woman, but since their marriage certificate was already broken, they couldn't say anything.
"Let's go, Xiao Zhou. Is everything ready?"
"I'm ready."
The two men bent down to help move things. Behind them, Zhou's father and mother watched this scene with red eyes.
Especially Wang Qiao'e, she was obviously reluctant to let her son leave like this.
"My child, you must take good care of yourself when you go up there. I'll come visit you when I'm free. If you have any problems, remember to call home. Don't carry it all by yourself."
Although they don't have much ability, as parents, it is instinctive for them to care about their children.
Zhou Muchi didn't have much affection for his biological parents. After all, they didn't live together since childhood, and even though they were related by blood, they were not that close.
But now seeing Wang Qiao'e's appearance, Zhou Muchi softened his heart and quickly reached out to hold his mother's arm.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I will call you every now and then. You are old, so take care of yourself. If you have any questions, you can contact me."
Zheng Xinyue watched this scene from the side and felt that her in-laws were really nice and also quite pitiful.
He raised an ungrateful child, and now his biological son finally comes back, but he is still a disabled person.
After a few simple words, the two people over there helped to move all the things into the car, but seeing this scene, they didn't rush to urge them.
By the time Zhou Muchi and Zheng Xinyue got in the car, they were surrounded by a circle of villagers.
Everyone looked at the car with envy, and some even couldn't help but touch it, muttering, "Oh my goodness, this car is great."
Wang Qiao'e looked at the envy in everyone's eyes and straightened her back inexplicably.
Even if her own son is disabled, so what? Who else could be treated like this? Someone drove all the way to pick him up, so her son must be a very promising person!
"Mom and Dad, please go back. I'm leaving."
Zhou Muchi waved his hand, signaling them not to send him off any further, but Wang Qiao'e and the others refused to listen and sent him off all the way to the village entrance.
The children behind him were running and laughing, following behind the car and smelling the gasoline.
Zheng Xinyue watched the surrounding scenery receding, and she felt inexplicably relieved. To be honest, she didn't want to stay in this mountain valley with her face to the earth and her back to the sky. It would be more painful than killing her.
Follow Zhou Muchi to the city, and life will be a little more leisurely.
Along the way, the few of them chatted from time to time. Through chatting, Zheng Xinyue learned that these two people were from the same department as Zhou Muchi. One was called Wang Dahai and the other was called Yang Wenfei. They seemed to have a good relationship with Zhou Muchi.
Because of her presence, they didn't talk much about work, after all, it was all confidential.
Zheng Xinyue stared at the window for a while and soon felt drowsy. It would probably be the next morning before she could drive to Qiao City. She might have to stay in a guesthouse for a night, otherwise she would not be able to bear the fatigue of driving all the time.
When they woke up from hunger in the middle of the night, Zheng Xinyue quickly took out food from her bag and shared it with everyone. These were eggs and sweet potatoes that she had cooked in advance, as well as a large bag of dumplings.
Although Wang Dahai and the others didn't like Zheng Xinyue, they still ate some of the food given to them.
At night, they found a hotel and planned to have a sleep before driving away the next day.
After having a quick meal at the restaurant, the four of them returned to the guesthouse.
Wang Dahai helped to book the room. Since they were a couple, they just booked one room.
Zhou Muchi frowned slightly and wanted to speak, but he held it back.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, they are a couple, and sleeping separately when they go out may make people think too much.
Zhou Muchi is a person who is afraid of trouble and does not want anyone to pay too much attention to his marriage life.
Zheng Xinyue was not pretentious. This hotel was not cheap for one night. Two kind comrades had booked a room for her, so she just had to be happy.
He pushed Zhou Muchi into the room and helped him directly to the bed.
Wang Dahai and the others originally wanted to come in to help, but when they saw how tough a female comrade Zheng Xinyue was, they left in embarrassment.
But as he went upstairs, he couldn't help but mutter, "Wen Fei, what do you think of the wife Xiao Zhou found?"
"It's reasonable for us gentlemen not to gossip about this behind people's backs, but since you've brought it up, I'll say this: this woman is definitely not a good match for Xiao Zhou. Putting aside other things, how can Xiao Zhou's previous partner compare to this one?"
The person Yang Wenfei was talking about was Bai Xue, who was also a doctor in their research institute and worked in the health center.
She had a very good relationship with Zhou Muchi before, but since Zhou Muchi became disabled, Bai Xue broke up with him.
But then again, how could a beautiful lesbian with a good family background marry a disabled man?
Zhou Muchi agreed without hesitation at the time, and they would just treat each other as strangers when they met again.
Now the two of them still feel a little emotional when talking about it, thinking that it was a waste for Zhou Muchi to marry such a woman. Compared with Dr. Bai, there is a huge gap between them.
Zheng Xinyue didn't know that others were talking about her at this time. She was busy serving Zhou Muchi.
After all, if you want to do business in Qiao City, you need capital. She is penniless and must rely on Zhou Muchi for support.
After finishing her work, Zheng Xinyue went to wash up, and came back to bring Zhou Muchi some foot washing water.
"Just give it a quick wash."
She is not the type to serve others, but after all, they live together, so she still has to pay attention to hygiene.
Seeing Zheng Xinyue being so thoughtful, Zhou Muchi felt somewhat touched.
"When we get to the research institute tomorrow, you can use my bank card to withdraw money. Feel free to ask for anything you need."
The female comrade served him so well, even if he went to Qiao City for other purposes, he couldn't let her suffer any loss.
Zheng Xinyue loved hearing this, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"You are too polite. Go wash quickly. I will help you pour water for washing your feet after you wash."
