Qin Hanshu looked at Zhou Weiguang with some surprise at his blunt words.
Instead, it made Zhou Weiguang blush deeply.
He quickly turned and walked out, saying, "I'm going to the cooperative to buy some things."
Qin Hanshu chased after her, saying, "I'll go with you."
Zhou Weiguang took long strides, always walking a few steps ahead of Qin Hanshu.
Qin Hanshu felt that the two of them were so far apart that they didn't seem like family at all, so she quickly took two steps and grabbed his hand.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as they touched, Zhou Weiguang acted as if he had been bitten by an insect, immediately breaking free from her, his face as red as a monkey's bottom, and said awkwardly, "I-I should be mindful of the consequences."
The two have already hugged, but apart from that, there has been no other physical contact.
Qin Hanshu had mustered up her courage to take his hand.
Unexpectedly, she was treated this way the first time she took the initiative.
Qin Hanshu put her hands behind her back.
Zhou Weiguang realized he had overreacted, scratched his head, and explained, "There are people everywhere on this road. If someone sees us... that's not good."
Qin Hanshu nodded and smiled, "I know, it's okay."
Zhou Weiguang asked hesitantly, "You're not angry, are you?"
Qin Hanshu shook her head, "I'm not angry."
Zhou Weiguang frowned and looked Qin Hanshu over several times, only relaxing when he was sure she wasn't really angry.
Actually, he really wanted to hold hands and walk together, he really wanted to! He dreamed about it!!
That's really impossible.
If the two of them are seen holding hands today, the whole camp will know about it tomorrow!
On the way to the cooperative, Zhou Weiguang kept glancing around furtively, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
When he arrived at the cooperative, he finally found something to say.
"Just buy whatever you need, no need to save money!" The tone was ingratiating.
"Um."
Qin Hanshu carefully selected items, occasionally asking a question.
Zhou Weiguang felt that everything had returned to normal and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Hanshu wanted to buy many things, but there weren't many available at the cooperative.
She only bought some kitchen supplies.
Zhou Weiguang insisted on paying.
Qin Hanshu picked up her things and walked out.
After paying, Zhou Weiguang caught up and reached out to take the things from Qin Hanshu's hands.
Qin Hanshu avoided the question, saying, "Be mindful of your behavior."
Zhou Weiguang: "..."
Didn't she say she wasn't angry?
***
When she got home, Zhao Chunmiao said, "Your sister-in-law just came back. I invited her to come over for a visit, but she refused."
Zhao Chunmiao asked hesitantly, "Xiao Shu, do you and your sister-in-law not get along? I noticed she seems a bit indifferent."
The two families are related by marriage and live across the street from each other; they should at least sit down and have a chat.
The neighbors upstairs just came down and asked me a few questions.
Qin Han felt relieved. It seemed that the wandering ghost was still occupying this body. She wondered to what extent the Chongming Bird's feathers had affected her.
Qin Hanshu smiled and said to Zhao Chunmiao, "No, my sister-in-law is a very nice person, she's just a bit shy."
Since Qin Hanshu said so, Zhao Chunmiao believed him.
On the other side, Zhou Weiguang pulled Zhou Ruilan aside and whispered, "Keep an eye on your sister-in-law for me, and see when she'll calm down."
"Calm down?" Zhou Ruilan asked in surprise, "Did you make my sister-in-law angry?"
Zhou Weiguang nodded solemnly.
Zhou Ruilan turned her head to look at Qin Hanshu and asked in surprise, "My sister-in-law doesn't seem angry. She's chatting and laughing with my mother."
Zhou Weiguang: "...She's angry."
Zhou Ruilan looked at Zhou Weiguang curiously, "So how did you offend my sister-in-law?"
Zhou Weiguang coughed lightly and said, "Don't ask about that. Just keep an eye on things and report back to me as soon as possible... If you're capable, you can try to persuade her... But be careful not to show any emotion!"
Zhou Ruilan thought for a moment, then patted her chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me!"
Zhou Chang'an went out for a walk, saying he wanted to see what the differences were between this big southern city and his hometown in the countryside.
At home, Zhao Chunmiao suggested to Qin Hanshu that they could raise two chickens on the balcony outside the kitchen so that they wouldn't have to buy eggs.
Qin Hanshu had no such plan, mainly because raising chickens in an apartment building would be difficult to manage and would easily make the place dirty. However, she didn't rush to refute Zhao Chunmiao's words, but instead agreed to everything.
As they were talking, Zhou Ruilan suddenly asked Qin Hanshu, "Sister-in-law, are you still angry?"
The sound was very loud.
Zhou Weiguang, who was seemingly busy cleaning but was actually spying on the area, almost dropped the broom in his hand.
Keep quiet and collected!
Do you even know what it means to remain calm and collected?
Qin Hanshu glanced at Zhou Weiguang, then smiled and asked Zhou Ruilan, "I'm not angry. Who told you I was angry?"
Zhao Chunmiao also found it baffling, "That's right, you woman, talking nonsense! Your sister-in-law and I were just having a good talk, why are you getting angry?!"
Zhou Ruilan turned her head and shouted towards Zhou Weiguang, "Third Brother, my sister-in-law said she's not angry—did you hear that?"
Zhou Weiguang: I fucking...
Qin Hanshu glanced at Zhou Weiguang, ignored him, and pulled Zhao Chunmiao to continue, "I think the curtains are no good now, they're too ugly and don't block out the light."
Zhao Chunmiao nodded in agreement: "Wei Guang's taste isn't very good. Look at the curtains he picked, tsk tsk..."
Zhou Weiguang couldn't help but say, "I didn't choose it; it was already there!"
