Qiao Yufei, despite the invisible pressure from Pei Zheng, said, "I asked her... and she answered a few words..."
"What did she say?" Pei Zheng asked nervously.
Qiao Yufei couldn't help but tease, "Brother Pei, why are you so nervous?"
It's really strange that Pei Zheng, who always does his own thing, would be so cautious now.
It seems that love can also make even the toughest man soft-hearted!
"Stop talking nonsense and speak!"
Pei Zheng glared at him.
Qiao Yufei immediately admitted his mistake. "Actually, she said she really admires your kind-heartedness, your willingness to help others, and your hatred of evil. You're hardworking, filial, responsible, and meticulous..."
Pei Zheng curled his lips: I never expected that I have so many advantages!
"Really?" Pei Zheng expressed his doubt.
Qiao Yufei said: "I swear on my character..."
Pei Zheng glanced at him and said, "That must be fake..."
Qiao Yufei: “!!!”
Okay, okay, you have offended me, your brother-in-law!
He just snorted, "But she also said that you usually look cold and unpredictable, and you have a bad temper, so it's hard to get along with..."
Pei Zheng's heart skipped a beat and he frowned, "Did she really say that?"
"Yeah," Qiao Yufei smiled slyly.
I made it up, hehe!
"I...I will change..." Pei Zheng said weakly.
These shortcomings do exist, he admits!
Qiao Yufei was secretly pleased, and then continued, "She feels that you don't really like her. It's only because your mother is urging you to get married, and she can heal your hand, that you want to marry her. Even if it wasn't her this time, you would choose to marry any other girl. She is actually afraid that you will change your mind in the future like Xie Changrong did..."
The first half of the sentence was said by Qiao Zhiyi, and the second half was implied by Qiao Yufei himself.
He tested Pei Zheng half-truthfully.
Pei Zheng remained silent this time and stopped talking.
Seeing Pei Zheng stop talking, Qiao Yufei was worried that his words would backfire. He felt a little anxious, but he said, "Well, even if you regret it now, my sister will still have no trouble finding a husband. As soon as my sister came back yesterday, many men in the team were eyeing her covetously, and some even said they wanted to marry her..."
"Who!?" Pei Zheng shouted angrily!
Qiao Yufei was delighted, but he deliberately kept him in suspense, "It's that guy..."
At this time, Qiao Zhiyi was taking Tangtang to pick tomatoes and cucumbers in a nearby private plot. Tangtang then said to Qiao Zhiyi, "Sister Zhizhi..."
"Um?"
"Actually, my dad likes you very much."
Qiao Zhiyi was stunned.
Tangtang blinked seriously, "Yesterday, someone came to introduce him to a wife, but he refused, saying he had to marry you. If you don't agree, he will wait for you until you agree."
Qiao Zhiyi was silent for a moment, "He...he really said that?"
"Yeah, he didn't like Aunt Xinyue before. It was my grandma who pushed him and kept urging him to get married. After Aunt Xinyue went to the city, I saw that my dad was actually relieved..." Tangtang continued with a smile, "But I know that my dad treats you differently. He likes you very much."
"How can you, a kid, figure that out?" Qiao Zhiyi asked with a smile.
"I just know, because ever since you came home, he always secretly glances at you. He gets nervous when talking to you, and he even stares blankly at the little medicine box you gave him. In order to keep you, he becomes proactive, which has never happened before..."
Tangtang spoke of her meticulous observations in a very innocent and childish voice.
Qiao Zhiyi was surprised. "He... is this like this?"
Tangtang said seriously, "Yes, he really likes you. After you left, he became very sad and even cried secretly..."
Qiao Zhiyi: “…”
Why wasn't she so unconvinced about the last sentence?
He cries???
incredible!!
Qiao Zhiyi lowered her eyes and continued picking vegetables. "But your dad and I... have only known each other for two days..."
"Is this important?" Tangtang asked back, "My dad and Aunt Xinyue have known each other for many years, but he still doesn't like her."
Qiao Zhiyi looked at Tangtang in surprise again, "You're so young, but you know so much?"
Tangtang curled her lips and said, "Because I'm smart!"
Qiao Zhiyi was helpless and amused, "Shameless."
Tangtang smiled.
The two of them were carrying a basket of vegetables back home. When they arrived at the door, they happened to meet a lame young man who came to deliver fish. "Comrade Qiao, thank you for treating me yesterday. I caught a fish today and I'm giving it to you."
"You're too polite. There's no need..."
Qiao Zhiyi politely refused the man at the door. Pei Zheng saw this scene. Qiao Yufei deliberately whispered, "It's him. He's my childhood friend Bai Shitou. He lost his leg because he was bitten by a snake when he was young. He didn't get timely treatment. Recently, he had a fever that wouldn't go away, so I took my sister to see him. He also prescribed medicine. After we came back, my sister said she quite likes men like this..."
The veins on Pei Zheng's forehead were throbbing, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
If she could easily fall in love with Bai Shitou, why couldn't she like him?
Pei Zheng experienced jealousy for the first time.
This feeling is really unpleasant!
The whole person seemed to be trapped in a vortex of pain, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart.
"Why? What does she like about him?" Pei Zheng asked through gritted teeth.
Qiao Yufei chuckled, "Maybe it's because Bai Shitou always likes to laugh no matter what he faces. He's quite interesting and quite popular with girls. Many of the young women like him. Anyway, my sister had a very happy chat with him yesterday..."
Pei Zheng was devastated.
Because Qiao Zhiyi never had a happy chat with him and was always very reserved.
Before, he felt inferior because of his disabled hand, but now he understands that the disabled hand is not the key, but the character is!
Seeing Qiao Zhiyi still happily chatting with Bai Shitou at the door, Pei Zheng was furious and could only cry out in anger. Tangtang quickly pulled Qiao Zhiyi in and said, "My dad is crying. Did the needle last too long?"
Qiao Zhiyi quickly checked Pei Zheng's position and asked, "Where does it hurt?"
"It hurts everywhere..." Pei Zheng avoided the gaze and lied.
The sense of crisis is really too strong!
Qiao Zhiyi removed the needle from his body and helped him move his arm. "Does it still hurt?"
"Okay... much better..." Pei Zheng said a little unnaturally.
It was the first time he lost his composure in front of a girl, and he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Qiao Yufei saw all of this and tried to hold back his laughter.
No, he’s almost suffocated to death!
Lao Pei, ah Lao Pei, you are doomed, hahahaha...
"Brother Pei Zheng, have you noticed that you can curl up the fingers of your left hand?" Qiao Zhiyi suddenly said in surprise.
Pei Zheng stared blankly at his left hand, which had been useless for over a year. It seemed as if his fingers could actually...move...
It was always very stiff before.
His hand...is alive again?
