"What's wrong? Is your heart bleeding?" Su Xueli asked, looking at his dejected back.
Wei Mingshen remained silent and rode his bicycle at the speed of a motorcycle.
Su Xueli sighed and said, "Sigh, who told you to make that stupid agreement with me back then? It was a deal that neither of us was allowed to get entangled with our sweethearts before the divorce, and neither of us could cheat on the other. Otherwise, you and Lin Meizhi would have been very sweet tonight."
"You'll be very sweet too." Wei Mingshen finally made his move.
Su Xueli paused, then went along with it: "Yes, we're all satisfied."
Wei Mingshen, realizing he had made a fool of himself, was speechless.
As they approached home, Su Xueli said earnestly, "Don't worry about her. Our area is very safe; I've never heard of any robberies."
Wei Mingshen said, "That's true."
Su Xueli felt a pang in her heart.
She suddenly didn't recognize herself. Hadn't she completely let go of him? Wasn't his business supposed to have nothing to do with her anymore? Why did seeing him entangled with her beloved still make her feel terrible...?
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the elderly couple rushed out of the house, carefully observing Su Xueli's complexion and asking, "Did you get her home? Is she alright?"
Su Xueli smiled slightly, said "It's nothing," and went back inside.
Wei Tiezhu and Cao Maizi pressed their son for details, mainly because they were worried about whether their daughter-in-law was angry.
Wei Mingshen said impatiently, "I'll be back as soon as I drop him off, what's there to ask?"
After saying that, he pushed the cart into the house.
As soon as Lin Meizhi left home, the elderly couple scolded their daughter severely, saying that if she brought Lin Meizhi home again, they would kick her out of the house.
Wei Mingyue was still crying inside the house at this time, and only stopped coming out to find out what was going on when she heard that her brother had returned.
Cao Maizi hurried to the kitchen to heat up the medicine for her son and told the old man to quickly stoke the fire in the brazier in her son's room.
Su Xueli acted as if nothing had happened. She went inside, took off her hat and scarf, then took off her cotton-padded coat and put on a thin cotton-padded coat for home wear before sitting down to continue her straw weaving.
Cao Maizi came in carrying a bowl of medicine. "My dear son, it's time to take your medicine."
Su Xueli chuckled.
She remembered that "Dalang took his medicine."
Seeing her smile, Wei Mingshen's heart finally settled down. He chuckled, took the medicine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Cao Maizi chuckled and said, "You two shouldn't be busy for too long, go to bed early."
Su Xueli said, "Okay, Mother, you go to sleep."
"Okay, Mom's going to sleep now. We'll talk about it tomorrow, Xue Li," Cao Maizi said cautiously.
She meant that she would talk to her daughter-in-law about Lin Meizhi tomorrow. Since Lin Meizhi had already come to the house, she should make things clear to her daughter-in-law to avoid any complications later.
Su Xueli nodded and smiled at her.
Wei Mingshen poured Su Xueli a bowl of water and said softly, "You must have caught a chill on the way. Have some hot water to warm yourself up."
Su Xueli took the drink and continued working, and he sat down next to her to help her.
After a while, he looked at her expression and finally asked, "You're not holding a grudge about what happened earlier, are you?"
Su Xueli said, "No."
She then asked him in return, "You won't blame me for ruining your plans, will you?"
Wei Mingshen answered without hesitation: "No, I have principles. I won't get entangled with her before the divorce."
Su Xueli blinked. This man was truly principled, and of course, his heart was also truly hard.
