Qiao Zhiyi stabbed the needle back and forth again, "Still no feeling?"
Pei Zheng's expression was stunned.
"Your condition requires long-term treatment and you need to apply medicine..." Qiao Zhiyi gave a treatment plan.
"Okay." Pei Zheng nodded awkwardly.
After the acupuncture, the needles had to be left in for half an hour, so Pei Zheng continued to stay there.
He lowered his eyes to avoid looking around.
"My third brother said that your hand was injured during a mission. What kind of critical situation was it injured?"
Qiao Zhiyi asked him.
Pei Zheng said: "When we were at the border, there was a fierce firefight between the two sides. In order to save two comrades, I was shot in the shoulder by the enemy and fell from a height. My arm is like this..."
Qiao Zhiyi: "You are amazing..."
"It's nothing special. In that environment, people would do such things." Pei Zheng recalled the past with a calm expression.
Qiao Zhiyi changed the subject and said, "My third brother just told me a lot, saying that you have helped our family a lot. I have nothing now, but I will make money in the future. My family and I will find a way to pay you back the 600 yuan!"
She just came here and doesn't have a stable job. How should she recover the 600 yuan? She needs to discuss it with her biological family.
Pei Zheng looked at her and said, "As long as you can heal my hand, six hundred yuan is just a small amount of money, you don't have to pay it back..."
Qiao Zhiyi nodded. "But a hand is a hand, and money is money. I should treat your hand for the kindness you have shown our family."
"The Qiao family never raised you. Even if they really owe me something, you shouldn't pay it back." Pei Zheng said in a cold voice.
Qiao Zhiyi was stunned.
After a moment's silence, she asked, "Are you angry?"
"What?"
"Lou Xinyue left after breaking off the engagement, and now I'm back to break off the engagement. You should be angry."
Pei Zheng said: "I am a useless person now. I am not suitable for marriage. Whether it is you or Lou Xinyue, I am not angry."
"You are not a disabled person, your hands can heal it." Qiao Zhiyi emphasized.
"Okay." Pei Zheng curled his lips.
Qiao Zhiyi added, "Even if it really can't be cured, don't feel inferior because of this. People who truly love you won't care about this."
Guiding the patient's psychology is also part of the treatment.
Pei Zheng looked into Qiao Zhiyi's clear eyes, "Really?"
Qiao Zhiyi nodded seriously, "So don't feel inferior because of this. You were injured during a mission. This is your honor, and you should be proud."
It must be said that Qiao Zhiyi's words were indeed very soothing. It made people feel comfortable just by listening to them. Pei Zheng unconsciously became more emotional. "If...if in the future, you meet a man in a similar situation to me, wouldn't you care?"
"I don't care. Some people may be disabled but mentally healthy. Some people have all their limbs intact but their hearts are twisted and dirty. I think you're pretty good..."
What Qiao Zhiyi said to him was the truth.
"Then you...then why do you want to break off the engagement with me?" Pei Zheng hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice.
"We don't know each other!" Qiao Zhiyi laughed. "How can we get married if we don't know each other? We live in a new era now, and blind marriages and arranged marriages are not the norm."
“Yes, yes!”
Pei Zheng nodded, agreeing with her.
"Although I have nothing now and have come to the countryside to recognize my relatives, I can't rush to marry you just to avoid hard labor. It's not fair to you!"
Qiao Zhiyi told him what was in her heart.
She hated the bad marriage with Xie Changrong in her previous life.
Now she has no job and cannot live in the Pei family for long. The two hundred yuan she has will be spent sooner or later. At that time, she can only live with her parents and see if she can become a rural doctor in the countryside.
Yes, by being a barefoot doctor, you can also earn a way out for yourself.
Now that she has left the Lou family, her future will definitely not be restricted by the Lou family.
Qiao Zhiyi had already thought of a way out in his mind.
Pei Zheng sympathized with Qiao Zhiyi's situation. After all, she had just experienced a reversal of life and was betrayed by her fiancé. She must be very sad under these multiple blows, so he said, "You can stay here as long as you want."
"Thank you very much." Qiao Zhiyi knew that the other person was just being polite and she couldn't take it seriously, but she still had to respond politely.
"You're welcome."
At this time, Pei Zheng's five-year-old niece Tangtang came back from playing outside and ran to see her new mother. Then she saw that her father's arm was full of needles. She was so scared that she screamed and quickly shouted for help.
Pei Zheng: “…”
Qiao Zhiyi asked: "...Who is she?"
Pei Zheng explained, "She's my niece Tangtang. My sister-in-law was an educated youth. After she returned to the city that year, my eldest brother went after her, but she had an accident on the way and died. When Tangtang grew up, she called me dad..."
A child without parents would be laughed at and bullied by many of his peers, so he was willing to be his niece's father and her protector.
But this is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for him to find a blind date. Most girls are unwilling to accept a man with a child.
Pei Zheng looked at Qiao Zhiyi, wanting to see if she minded too.
However, Qiao Zhiyi's expression was very calm.
Maybe it's because I really don't care, so I don't care about my children.
Pei Zheng felt that his sensitivity was ridiculous.
Pei's mother was pulled up by Tangtang, "Look, my dad is being bullied."
When Pei's mother saw her son's clothes half-undressed and needles stuck in his arms and back, she became anxious, "Oh, why are there so many needles?"
Pei Zheng explained, "I've been feeling nothing in my arm. Comrade Qiao gave me acupuncture treatment."
