Liu Ruonan stood at the edge of the crowd, quietly watching Zhuang Sheng. She saw the traces of tears in the corners of his eyes. It turned out that he had once been so miserable. Liu Ruonan felt very distressed.
Chen Guihua was mad, so she twisted her husband Zhuang Qiang's ear and went home. With a bang, the door was closed, and the bolt was not inserted, isolating everyone from the house.
Everyone sighed. They all said that it was difficult for an honest official to judge family disputes. No matter how much they pitied Zhuang Sheng, there was nothing they could do. In this era, people were not well off, and no one was so great as to take someone home and take care of him who might spend the rest of his life lying in bed.
Everyone dispersed in disappointment, leaving Zhuang Sheng lying sadly and helpless on the broken bed.
Liu Ruonan walked slowly to Zhuang Sheng, squatted down and looked at him, feeling mixed emotions, and tried her best to suppress the urge to touch his cheek.
"Who are you?" Zhuang Sheng noticed Liu Ruonan, secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and stared at the wall without even looking at her.
"Liu Ruonan, the stepdaughter of the Xiangdong family," Liu Ruonan said, her voice dry. Her heart tightened, as if something was pulling at her heart, trying to tear it out of her chest.
Brother Zhuang Sheng! My Brother Zhuang Sheng! In this life, we meet again!
This year, she and Zhuang Sheng were not familiar with each other.
This year, Zhuang Sheng was seriously injured in the army and almost paralyzed. The army asked him to return to his hometown to recuperate, but the news of Zhuang Sheng's discharge from the army had already spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Zhuang Sheng turned around and looked at Liu Ruonan with a complicated look in his eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"I want to discuss a business deal with you." Liu Ruonan sat in the open space next to Zhuang Sheng, looking at him seriously. By now, her emotions had calmed down a lot, and she could face Zhuang Sheng rationally.
"I'm a soldier, I don't talk business."
Zhuang Sheng turned his face away again, feeling a little self-deprecating. Now, everyone regarded him as a loser, yet someone actually wanted to discuss business with him at this time? It was ridiculous.
"This business has nothing to do with money. My stepfather wants to force me to marry Liu Dazhuang, that psychopath, and I don't want to marry him!" Liu Ruonan spoke her inner thoughts truthfully.
"What does that have to do with me?" Zhuang Sheng said calmly.
Yes! Of course it does! Liu Ruonan responded in her heart.
"Marry me, and I'll take care of you until you recover!" Marry me! In fact, this is Liu Ruonan's truest purpose. However, when she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Recover? I might spend the rest of my life in bed. Are you sure you want to marry a loser?" Zhuang Sheng felt desperate and even agreed with what his stepmother said to him.
"You'll be fine!"
"How do you know?" Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan with a puzzled look on his face. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. This was the first person in these days who said that he would be fine.
I know, I just know. Because you've been with me for the rest of my life! Liu Ruonan roared hysterically in her heart, but she couldn't say these words out loud.
"I know some Chinese medicine and I can help you with the treatment." Liu Ruonan wanted to deepen Zhuang Sheng's trust in her. After all, Zhuang Sheng didn't know what kind of person she was.
Zhuang Sheng fell silent, just staring at Liu Ruonan quietly, as if he wanted to explore the deepest part of her heart through her eyes. After a long time, he finally spoke.
"I'm in this state now. If you follow me, you might not even have a place to live. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
"No!" Liu Ruonan's determination touched Zhuang Sheng.
"Tell me! What are the conditions?"
"Four big items, eight hundred yuan."
