After daybreak, Xu Manzhi scooped water in the backyard and washed her face.
Days passed by, and the weather got hot.
She changed into a short-sleeved shirt, paired with navy blue shorts, revealing her arms and white legs, looking incredibly cool.
Just by looking up, I saw Jiang Pengyue, who was covered up completely.
She was wearing a stand-up collar shirt.
"Aren't you feeling hot?" Xu Manzhi asked, gulping down a mouthful of water.
"No, I, I'm not hot—"
Jiang Pengyue ran away as if fleeing.
She hurriedly left the Jiang family home, wrapped her head in a cloth, and sneaked off to a small clinic.
"Doctor, I have a question for you," she said, her cheeks burning.
"you say."
People who go to large hospitals or small clinics usually have some unspeakable problems, and the doctors are familiar with the procedures and don't show any surprise.
"I'm a month pregnant, but for some reason, I keep having bizarre dreams at night, like those kinds of things. But my husband is out, and I know for sure no one is home. Doctor, is this normal?" Jiang Pengyue whispered.
The doctor lifted the black-rimmed glasses that had slipped off his nose.
She glanced at her.
"Dreams are uncontrollable. If you want me to ask if something happened, take your pants off so I can check," the doctor said responsibly.
"Ah—no, no, that's not what I meant."
Jiang Pengyue pulled up her face mask and ran away as if fleeing.
She stumbled and ran aimlessly, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.
It must be a dream.
right.
Ever since her blind date with Zhou Xiangqun, the male protagonist in her dreams has finally come to life with a face; before, he was always blurry and never this audacious...
She is no longer a virgin.
That kind of thing between men and women isn't a secret.
She must be overthinking it.
But the soreness in her groin still made her feel a little panicked and uneasy, so she went straight to Jiang Mingda's office to talk about the wedding arrangements.
As soon as she entered the house, she bumped into a middle-aged woman who was rubbing against Jiang Mingda's waist with an ambiguous expression.
She quickly left.
After the woman left, she went back inside and asked Jiang Mingda, "Dad, who is this person? He doesn't look like a respectable person..."
Jiang Mingda stood up and patted his daughter on the shoulder.
He said, "Yueyue, she is an important person. She will help us raise money. You are getting married soon, so don't worry about things at home. Leave everything to me."
The more she knows, the worse it is for her.
The Gu family was quite generous, providing 120,000 yuan in one go, which solved the betrothal issue for Zhou Xiangqun and Yueyue, but it couldn't be too stingy.
He naturally had to find a way to do something.
"Dad, I am so lucky to have met such a wonderful family as the Jiang family. They raised me and treated me with such devotion. I can never repay them in my next few lifetimes," Jiang Pengyue said, moved.
Jiang Mingda's eyes dimmed.
He held his daughter's hand in one hand, stroking her palm with his fingertips, and said again and again, "Silly child, in our hearts, no one can replace you. Xu Manzhi is even less than a beast."
"dad……"
Jiang Pengyue couldn't resist and threw herself into Jiang Mingda's arms.
The man gently stroked her back, sending shivers down her spine.
"Dad, don't worry. As long as I marry Zhou Xiangqun, he will be an extension of the Jiang family. I will do my best to get him to help you and my older brother."
Jiang Pengyue sincerely expressed her feelings.
"I believe you will." Jiang Mingda nodded.
Three days later.
The Jiang family asked someone to go to the countryside to get pine and cypress branches, red plastic basins, spittoons, cigarettes and alcohol... everything they could need, and they were meticulous in everything they did.
Gu Meiyun even specially found an experienced hairdresser and applied for a hair perm approval letter from the art troupe, so that she could give Jiang Pengyue a perm with waves in advance.
It's so stylish.
Wherever Jiang Pengyue goes, she attracts envious glances from countless people.
She's been dreaming less these past few days.
Only one night, she dreamed that Zhou Xiangqun was trying to take off her pants, but she instinctively grabbed him. The dream quickly disappeared, and he never appeared again.
She was overjoyed.
She is single-mindedly waiting to get married.
Xu Manzhi was too lazy to move the things she had dug up into the Jiang family's yard.
She also moved the snakes, chickens, fish, and loaches from before to Yan Lin's small house.
The atmosphere at the Jiang family's residence has changed.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she felt a sense of unease. It was chaotic and dark, with an indescribable undercurrent that sent chills down her spine. So she tried to avoid going there as much as possible.
Early in the morning, she bumped into the cheerful Jiang Pengyue again.
She was still wearing a stand-up collar blouse and a light blue long skirt, which made her waist look slimmer than the straight skirts worn by girls on the street. However, with her curly hair, she looked incredibly dowdy.
"Did your neck get chafed by your collar? And you're wearing such high heels, be careful you don't get sores." Xu Manzhi was unusually kind.
"Mind your own business. I'll take care of it myself," Jiang Pengyue pouted.
The word "sores" seemed to have touched a taboo for her, causing Jiang Pengyue to instantly lose her temper.
"hehe."
Xu Manzhi turned and left.
She couldn't be bothered with it.
Xu Manzhi took out the bicycle, jumped on it, and pedaled hard, arriving at the Ling family's house in the blink of an eye.
The first stage of the last electrode treatment has been completed.
His skin should be starting to scab over.
This is a crucial moment; we mustn't get it wet.
Xu Manzhi walked into Ling Junye's small courtyard, only to see Ling's mother outside making straw ropes. When she saw Xu Manzhi enter the house, she quickly got up and greeted her, "Zhizhi, you've come."
To be honest, Ling's mother, Wen Jin, was a little intimidated by Xu Manzhi.
