Chapter 77: Domestic Violence in the Era 32
The sharp sound stimulated everyone's eardrums.
Lin Xia looked at her own watch and then at Zhong Wenyi's.
It's the same style, I didn't notice it before.
Zhong Wenyi's face turned red instantly, from his ears to his chest, like a cooked shrimp.
He quickly retorted that he could not damage Lin Zhiqing's reputation, "Comrade Zhong, please don't say anything nonsense. Lin Zhiqing and I have nothing to do with each other. We just have the same watch."
"Yes, this watch is the same model as mine." This kind of joke should not be made casually, Zhong Wenyue helped to explain, although his brother's expression was really funny.
He Ying, who was picking her feet, finally reacted. She pulled Gu Zhaozhao's sleeve and signaled her to apologize.
Gu Zhaozhao knew that she was overreacting, but she had seen this watch in a department store. It was not cheap and it was definitely not available in a small county. When she thought about the scene where Zhong Wenyi and Lin Xia were having a good chat, and looked at the blushing Zhong Wenyi, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Is Comrade Zhong married? Is there someone he likes?"
The whole place was silent. If a needle dropped on the ground, it would be clearly heard.
Zhong Wenyi coughed lightly, glanced to the left, and said solemnly, "This doesn't seem to be Comrade Zhong's business. We just met today."
Gu Zhaozhao calmed down at this time. She was too anxious. Maybe Xu Chengye didn’t understand it clearly. She asked the system, but it didn’t know. What a waste.
"I'm sorry, I said too much. Comrade Zhong, don't think too much about it. I was just asking casually." Gu Zhaozhao smiled indifferently, as if everything before was just an illusion.
"Um, Xiaoqing, the meal is ready." Sun's mother poked her head out weakly.
Lin Xia looked at Gu Zhaozhao and the other person, and the Zhong siblings also looked at them.
Gu Zhaozhao and He Ying saw that they were seeing the guests off, so they said decisively, "It's getting late, we should go back, we can talk again next time we have a chance."
After saying that, he left.
The three of them entered the house in silence.
Sudden,
“Hahahahahahahaha.”
Zhong Wenyue burst into laughter, and couldn't stop crying, "Brother, you are so charming, and your blushing face just now was so funny, I almost couldn't hold it back."
"Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with her. Next time you see me, just avoid me." Zhong Wenyi was so angry at his sister, what a tactless person.
Then he glanced secretly at Lin Xia.
No, brother.
What does it have to do with me?
Why are you looking at me?
Lin Xia’s countless complaints were flooding the screen.
No way.
I really can’t.
Lin Xia ate the meal in exceptional silence.
Zhong Wenyue was like a little fool, complaining about everything about her second brother from childhood to adulthood, without noticing that her second brother's face was so dark that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
"Even braised pork can't stop you from eating." Zhong Wenyi fiercely picked up a piece of braised pork for his silly sister.
"The chef of the state-owned restaurant is really skilled. The food is so delicious. My sister Lin and I both like it." Zhong Wenyue said vaguely.
Zhong Wenyi looked at Lin Xia again and said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you next time."
After dinner, Lin Xia slipped away and went to the brigade to work as a diligent village doctor.
When I came back, I saw that the water tank at home was full and the firewood shed was piled with chopped firewood.
"What is this?" Lin Xia looked at Zhong Wenyue with questioning eyes.
"Oh, it was my brother who did it. He said it was inconvenient for us little girls to do these things at home, so he just did it." Zhong Wenyue was very interested in learning how to sew shoe soles from Sun's mother, and said nonchalantly, "Sister Lin, don't worry about it. My brother said he would come once a week to help us. It would be so relaxing for us."
He smiled foolishly at Lin Xia.
......
So should she care or not?
Lin Xia returned to her room exhausted and collapsed on the bed, a look of despair on her face.
If she was not mistaken, Zhong Wenyi really liked her?
Not sure, think again.
I rubbed my head with my hands until it became a mess, but I still couldn't figure it out.
Who cares? Just let it be. It’s none of her business!

"Comrade Lin, I heard that you are learning medicine on your own. My mother happens to be a doctor, so I asked her to find some information for you. See if it can help you."
Zhong Wenyi came and went straight to the infirmary.
"Thank you, Comrade Zhong, but it's too much of a bother for you. I won't need it next time." Lin Xia smiled politely.
"What's the problem? Medical books and information are hard to find. Next time you need anything, you can tell me. I can still help you ask more questions."
Lin Xia took the information handed over by Zhong Wenyi. It was indeed very useful, but she was a little embarrassed. It was not entirely true that she had no good feelings towards this man at all. However, when she thought about Wang Zhaozhao's obsession with him, she felt annoyed. She did not like love triangles.
Zhong Wenyi noticed Lin Xia's hesitation and said, "I've already brought it. You're the only one around who can use it."
Since the words had already been spoken, Lin Xia accepted them.
"Then I won't bother Lin Zhiqing anymore. I'll leave first." He is a man who really knows when to advance and when to retreat.
Less than two minutes after Zhong Wenyi left, Lin Xia saw Gu Zhaozhao wandering around.
Yes, there was also Gu Zhaozhao’s reason for not accepting it. She was really persistent. As long as Zhong Wenyi came to the team, she would rush over as soon as she heard about it. A love triangle was too troublesome.
Lin Xia analyzed it and attributed it to a sense of crisis. If she were not there, Gu Zhaozhao might not want to pursue him, or after being together for a long time, she might not accept his existence as a substitute.
Because of Gu Zhaozhao's straightforward behavior, some people in the team have started to make unpleasant gossips about her.
However, because Zhong Wenyi left immediately after seeing her, no one said much. After all, his conditions were so great, and which family in the brigade didn't want such a son-in-law.
Zhong Wenyi came here almost once a week. Lin Xia didn't avoid him at first and pretended not to know. But later on, it became more and more obvious, and even Zhong Wenyue noticed it and started to ask about it.
Lin Xia Tian is more emotional than others. If he were to have a relationship, it would be fine for fun, but he seems too serious and I dare not make a move, for fear that he would hold me responsible.
She is impatient to enter into a lasting intimate relationship.
For a long time afterwards, Lin Xia remained in a complicated relationship. Whenever Zhong Wenyi got the chance, he would release his hormones and try every means to pursue her.
With Zhong Wenyue acting as a shield and Zhong Wenyi keeping a gentlemanly distance, no gossip spread among the team.
So, Lin Xia really doesn’t hate him.
She thought that as long as she waited for Zhong Wenyue to return to the city, everything would be over, but Zhong Wenyue refused to leave.
