After dinner, Qiao Zhiyi was sorting out the medicine bag and asked Pei Zheng, "Did you feel any discomfort after applying the compress at noon?"
"No, it's quite comfortable..." Pei Zheng can now clearly feel the vitality of his disabled hand recovering.
He had already given up hope on this arm, but her sudden arrival changed everything for him.
"Then apply it again tonight." Qiao Zhiyi rubbed his arm.
"Wife, I will listen to you." Pei Zheng is very happy now.
Being able to marry her must be God's blessing to him.
Tangtang passed by and said, "You're calling me wife so soon, shame on me!"
Pei Zheng wanted to hit her.
But Tangtang had a backer, so she hugged Qiao Zhiyi's waist from behind and made faces at Pei Zheng.
Qiao Zhiyi went to the kitchen to steam some hot buns for him.
At this time, a neighbor came over and asked, "Pei Zheng, I heard that you saved the girl from the Qu family in the evening?"
Pei's mother and Qiao Zhiyi came out of the kitchen.
Pei Zheng calmly explained, "Yes, I was passing by a stream when someone fell into the water. I shouted for help to jump in. As you know, my arm is broken, so I couldn't save him. It was Sun Mazi who jumped in to save him. Many people saw it..."
The neighbor aunt said, "Oh, now the girl from the Qu family is crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself. She refuses to marry Sun Mazi and insists that you saved her..."
When Mother Pei heard this, she almost jumped up. "How can she make up such a thing? Everyone saw it, and she insisted on accusing my son? My son is married now, and she is making up rumors. Isn't this affecting my son's family?"
The neighbor said, "The girl from the Qu family has been acting strangely since she came back from the mountains yesterday. I don't know if she was abused by someone, so she jumped into the stream and committed suicide..."
Pei's mother was also a kind person, and she couldn't help but explain for Qu Rucui: "When she went to the mountains yesterday, she accidentally fell and got a mouthful of blood, but no one hurt her..."
"Then why did she want to commit suicide today?" the neighbor asked puzzledly.
"Who knows that?"
"It must have been ruined. I'll go to the Qu family to see what's going on..."
The neighbor is a gossipy person and eats melons with great interest.
Mother Pei said, "I'll go take a look too. This girl from the Qu family is really becoming more and more strange..."
"Wait for me, I'm going too." Tangtang also wanted to eat watermelon, and rushed out like a little rocket.
Qiao Zhiyi chased to the door, "Tangtang, it's time to take a bath..."
"I'll be back soon..."
Tangtang went with her grandma.
Qiao Zhiyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This girl Tangtang really loves to join in the fun.
But she just likes the liveliness in Tangtang.
She is a little girl who is always full of strength.
Pei Zheng explained to Qiao Zhiyi in detail, "I saw that nurse acting suspiciously outside the factory during the day. Later, when I got off work, she fell into the water. I felt something was amiss and worried it might be a scam, but I couldn't just stand by and watch her die, so I called for help..."
"From what I can see now, she's really waiting for me here. If I jumped in to save her, she'd definitely blame me and force me to marry her. Luckily, many people testified in the evening, so I can't be blamed for this. But even if I really jumped in to save her, I'm already married to you, so I can't be responsible for her..."
Qiao Zhiyi nodded after hearing this. "Actually, when I said yesterday that I wanted to get the marriage certificate early, I was worried about something like this happening. I always felt that she wouldn't give up so easily..."
Pei Zheng was very surprised when he heard this, "You are actually worried about this?"
"Yeah, shouldn't I be worried? The way Qu Rucui looks at you is like a mouse staring at a piece of cheese. I have to be on guard..."
Pei Zheng sweatdropped, "So... I'm cheese?"
Qiao Zhiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I was just making an analogy."
"This is the first time someone has compared me to cheese. Before, they called me a lone wolf..." Pei Zheng found it funny. While the family was away, he took her hand and let her sit on his lap. "So what am I in your eyes?"
Qiao Zhiyi said without hesitation, "It's an injury."
"Uh... gone?"
Qiao Zhiyi smiled slyly, "What else could it be?"
He reminded, "We're married."
Qiao Zhiyi was quite shy and stood up from his lap awkwardly, but he wouldn't let her. "You agreed to marry me, not just out of impulse, right?"
After hearing what she said, Pei Zheng began to suspect that Qiao Zhiyi was angry with Qu Rucui, which was why she agreed so readily.
If that were the case, he would be very sad.
Qiao Zhiyi said: "Of course it's not an impulsive act..."
"Why is that?" Pei Zheng wanted to hear her say in person about her liking for him.
Qiao Zhiyi looked at him and said, "Of course it's because..."
Pei Zheng held his breath and listened to her.
"Of course it's because of the letter of guarantee you wrote!" Qiao Zhiyi said with a smile and stood up from his arms.
Pei Zheng was stunned for a moment, then felt embarrassed.
"Do you want to work overtime tonight?"
"No, I've been pretty free lately. The factory knows I'm getting married, so they gave me some leave..."
"Then I'll prepare some hot water for you to wash, and then I'll apply the medicine pack to you..."
"I'll get the water myself, don't tire yourself out."
"What does this have to do with that?"
"Then I can't tire my wife..."
Pei Zheng had already gone to the kitchen to get some hot water.
Qiao Zhiyi followed him in and said to him, "I called the Lou family this afternoon, and the person who answered the phone was Lou Xinyue."
Pei Zheng looked at her.
Qiao Zhiyi said, "The main purpose is to urge her to return the betrothal money. I think my sister-in-law is very angry with her. Qiqi's current situation is more or less related to Lou Xinyue, but she left without saying anything. I feel sorry for the Qiao family and don't want to let her get away with it."
