"uh-huh."
Xiaoguo nodded affirmatively.
Qin Anming shook his head, expressing his disbelief. "That's impossible. How could she not be crazy when she looks like that?"
"Really!" Xiao Guo saw that Qin Anming still didn't believe it, so she sat down on the edge of the bed, "I ran into her when I came back just now. She was lying at the door of our house. When I called her, she hid. Finally, when I walked towards her, she ran away."
Qin Anming listened to Xiaoguo's words with his mouth wide open. Li Zhaodi ran away. How was it possible? Such a fantastic thing happened just because she saw Xiaoguo?
Qin Anming still couldn't believe it. He had seen Li Zhaodi's condition over the past few days with great clarity. How could a normal person do this?
Although Li Zhaodi was not a beautiful person, she was still a woman, a woman who paid great attention to her face. He couldn't believe that such a person would smear feces and urine on her face just to pretend to be crazy.
But Xiaoguo was very sure that Li Zhaodi was just pretending to be crazy. Jiang Shanhe hesitated again. Xiaoguo's eyes were quite accurate, but...
"Why is she like this?"
Qin Anming already believed what Xiaoguo said, but he just couldn't understand why Li Zhaodi was pretending to be crazy.
Xiao Guo smiled at Qin Anming. Why? "Of course it's because she doesn't want to be without a place to live."
"Why do you say that?"
Qin Anming still didn't understand. Didn't she have a place to live?
Xiao Guo was stunned. It seemed that he didn't know that Li Dahai had sold the house.
I simply told Qin Anming about the bad things Li Dahai had done. Qin Anming was confused. It turned out that Li Dahai was so bad.
"...Did you understand?" Xiao Guo's mouth was dry from talking, so he picked up the water cup and took a sip, then continued, "That's why Li Zhaodi pretended to be crazy to deceive everyone's sympathy. She is like this, how could the village chief take back her house and leave her without a place to live?"
Qin Anming closed his mouth and nodded. This incident really shocked him. Li Dahai was so shameless. He was really a scumbag among men!
But, if that's the case, then Li Zhaodi pretended to be crazy just to prevent the villagers from taking her house. Then, her throwing herself at men when she saw them was also part of her pretending to be crazy?
Qin Anming couldn't figure it out, so he asked Xiaoguo.
When the question came up, Xiaoguo hesitated. If she flirted with men just to make people think she was crazy, then why did she only flirt with unmarried men?
Xiaoguo had an idea in her mind, but she was not sure, so she simply did not tell Qin Anming. Her idea still needed further confirmation. What Li Zhaodi's ultimate goal was should soon become clear.
"Brother, don't go out alone recently."
Xiaoguo thought about it and finally spoke to Qin Anming.
"Why? Isn't Li Zhaodi pretending to be crazy?"
Qin Anming didn't quite understand what Xiaoguo said. Since he was just pretending to be crazy, that was easy to explain.
"...Because...I'll tell you in a few days."
Xiaoguo didn't know how to tell him, for fear of scaring him again. She initially estimated that Li Zhaodi's target should be Qin Anming.
But Xiao Guo couldn't say this to Qin Anming. He hated Li Zhaodi from the bottom of his heart beyond words. He would reject her from the bottom of his heart and soul whenever he heard her name. If he knew that Li Zhaodi wanted to rely on him, he would probably faint immediately.
"Mysterious."
Qin An understood Xiao Guo after taking a look at him. He was still being mysterious to him, but he decided not to go out. Anyway, he really wouldn't be able to leave the house for a few days due to his illness.
Seeing that he had no objection, Xiao Guo prepared to go out, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Qin Anming hesitantly, "Brother, can you bear it?"
"???"
Qin Anming's face was full of confusion. What did he mean by strong or not? What happened to his dirty heart?
"I want to tell you something."
Xiaoguo thought about Jiang Shanhe. If she didn't say it now, she would probably forget it.
Xiaoguo found that he had been forgetful recently, so whenever he remembered something, he would speak it out immediately, so as not to forget it completely in the future.
"Go ahead."
Qin Anming swallowed his saliva, looked at Xiaoguo's serious expression, and felt a little trembling in his heart. He couldn't help but sit up straight, thinking that nothing serious would happen...
Xiaoguo slowly walked to the bed and sat down, thinking about how to start the conversation so that Qin Anming would not think that she was crazy.
"That's right. This time we went to the capital, we met... Jiang Shanhe..."
Xiaoguo was observing Qin Anming's reaction as she spoke, fearing that she would scare him.
"Yeah." Hearing Xiaoguo say this, Qin Anming just nodded in understanding. He had just thought of this matter not long after Xiaoguo and the others left. "You are talking about Jiang Shanhe's cenotaph, right? I thought of it too. I thought of it not long after you left. I also wanted to inform you at that time, but I didn't..."
"Brother, brother, stop it!"
Xiaoguo couldn't help feeling confused as Qin Anming's words became more and more biased. She decided to tell him directly, otherwise his thoughts might go astray. Besides, she didn't believe that a grown man could be so fragile.
"Brother, Jiang Shanhe is still alive and in the capital."
“……...”
"elder brother?"
Xiao Guo pushed Qin Anming, who had not responded from the beginning, and felt a little uneasy. No way, could he be numb?
"Are you serious?!"
Qin Anming finally reacted, and then he was overjoyed, his expression and tone of voice as if Jiang Shanhe was his husband.
Xiao Guo looked at Qin Anming who was clapping and cheering in silence, worrying in vain that she had scared him. She thought that Jiang Shanhe would be happy to see his reaction, because this was the scene he had imagined meeting since the beginning.
"...I think it's about time..."
Xiaoguo looked at Qin Anming, who was so happy that he almost stood up. She thought it was a bit exaggerated. Even she, the legal wife, was not as excited as him.
"Xiaoguo, you don't understand. I'm happy for you, for Zhuangzhuang, and for your family!"
Qin Anming coughed excitedly, and he looked less sickly and more healthy and rosy.
"Okay, okay, brother~"
Xiaoguo quickly stood up and helped him calm down.
"Ahem, Xiaoguo." Qin Anming took Xiaoguo's hand, held it in his hand and pulled her to sit down. "You don't know, when Li Zhaodi took me into the river that day, all I could think about was you. How can an orphan and a widow live? If I'm gone, you'll really be left alone. I was anxious and scared. Although I don't have much ability, with me around you won't be single, and you won't be bullied. But... I'm afraid that something might happen to me. What if something really happens to me? Now at least Shan He is still alive. This way, even if I leave, I'll feel at ease, and I'll have a clear conscience when I meet my parents."
"Brother~what are you talking about!"
Xiao Guo couldn't help crying when she heard this, and couldn't help interrupting him, "Why are you saying such unlucky words? You are fine and alive and well, why are you doing this~"
Qin Anming wiped her tears distressedly, "Xiaoguo, don't cry, I just said just in case..."
"Nothing can happen!"
Xiao Guo didn't let him continue. She wiped her tears, shook off his hand, and turned away without looking at him.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I have to live to be a hundred years old."
Qin Anming also couldn't bear to see Xiaoguo cry, and he couldn't help but say those words out loud.
To be honest, after the experience of falling into the water last time, he was really scared. At that moment, he thought a lot, basically regretting that he did not take good care of Xiaoguo. After escaping from death, he wanted to have a good talk with Xiaoguo and do his best to pave a good way for Xiaoguo, so that even if an accident really happened one day, he could go with peace of mind and leave cleanly.
