Hongying eventually left with the children, leaving Wang Shi deeply devastated and unable to recover for several days.
Erzhuzi's injuries had not yet healed, so Tang Qiqi took the initiative to take care of him.
Erzhuzi was still in shock; he felt that women were truly terrifying beings.
He said to Tang Qiqi, "Qiqi, it's a good thing you came back, otherwise my life would be over. It's better to be alone. Women are too scary!"
Tang Qiqi looked at his pathetic appearance and teased, "So you mean my mother is scary too!"
Erzhuzi quickly shook his head and said, "Your mother is the best person in the world! Is your mother still angry with me?" Erzhuzi asked with some concern.
Tang Qiqi shrugged and said, "I don't know, you should ask her yourself!"

Erzhuzi said sadly, "Your mother hasn't come to see me for several days. She must be angry!"
Tang Qiqi looked at Erzhuzi, shook her head and said, "I really don't understand what's going on between you and my mother. You clearly care about each other, but you don't say it!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xu Lanzhi arrived carrying a food box. She stood at the door, hesitating whether to go in.
Tang Qiqi said cheerfully, "Speak of the devil, and he appears! Uncle Zhu, my mother is here!"
When Erzhuzi heard that Xu Lanzhi had arrived, he quickly straightened his clothes, leaned on his crutch, and limped to greet her.
"Sister-in-law, you're here!" Erzhuzi said awkwardly.
Xu Lanzhi also felt a little uncomfortable. She said, "Qiqi is such a heartless child. She has to be taken care of by others. I came to check on her!"
Tang Qiqi pouted and said, "Mom, you always underestimate me! But since you're here, Uncle Zhu will be in your care today. Third Sister said she's going to the ranch today, and I want to go too!"
"Don't go, Mother will only stay for a little while!" Xu Lanzhi said hurriedly!
But it was too late. Tang Qiqi had deliberately given the two of them some time alone, and had already disappeared in a flash!

Xu Lanzhi frowned and said, "This child is so impulsive and reckless; I don't know who he took after!"
Erzhuzi chuckled sheepishly and said, "Qiqi is a really naughty child, but she's also a good one. She's been running around doing things for me, it's really kind of her!"
When Erzhuzi brought up that matter, Xu Lanzhi got a little angry. She said, "Zhuzi, how could you be so stupid? You should have come to me when you knew Hongying was trying to extort you!"
Erzhuzi blushed and said, "I'm so ashamed I could die, how could I possibly have the face to come looking for you? Besides, even if I did come looking for you, you wouldn't necessarily believe me. I begged you this morning to tell Hongying not to come, but you completely ignored me!"
As Erzhuzi spoke, he suddenly started to feel aggrieved!
Xu Lanzhi also felt that she had done something wrong, but who knew that Hongying was this kind of person.
Xu Lanzhi, unusually lowering her guard, said angrily, "Are you blaming me? I was just thinking you were too lonely and wanted you to have company, but who knew Hongying would be so unreliable!"
Erzhuzi became excited and said earnestly, "I don't need a companion. I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life, okay?"
Xu Lanzhi blushed immediately and said uneasily, "What are you saying? I'm a widow, what are you doing guarding me? I think you've been corrupted by Hongying!"
Erzhuzi mustered his courage and said, "Lanzhi, Hongying's matter has made me see my own heart clearly. There is only you in my heart, and no one else can squeeze in!"

Hearing his shameless words, Xu Lanzhi wished she could disappear into the ground. Embarrassed, she said, "Nu is getting more and more unruly. I'm leaving!"
Erzhuzi, emboldened by some unknown source, grabbed Xu Lanzhi and said, "Lanzhi, don't go, let me finish what I have to say! To be honest, after all these years, I still feel flustered whenever I see you. Before, when Dongsheng was here, I couldn't let my mind wander."
Later, after Dongsheng left, I saw you working hard with your big belly, and my heart ached so much. I only regretted that I was powerless to help you!
Xu Lanzhi was moved when she saw Erzhuzi's remorseful expression.
She sighed and said, "Zhuzi, don't say that. Back then, if you hadn't secretly brought the child sweet potatoes and pheasants every day, we might not have survived until the baby was born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month!"
Erzhuzi scratched his head sheepishly and said, "You knew it was me who sent it!"
Xu Lanzhi glanced helplessly at the pillar and said, "Back then, when food was scarce, everyone was starving. Who else cared about us? Besides, who else but you could hunt pheasants and rabbits every few days?"
Erzhuzi said awkwardly, "I originally wanted to give the things to the old lady, but she disliked me so much back then that she would rather go hungry than take my things!"
Mentioning Wang Shi made Xu Lanzhi feel uneasy. She tried to pull her hand away from Erzhuzi's grasp, but Erzhuzi wouldn't let go.
Xu Lanzhi whispered, "Let go. My mother doesn't like you because she's afraid something might happen between us!"

Erzhuzi still held Xu Lanzhi tightly, looking at her affectionately and saying, "Lanzhi, I know you are a fairy high above me. I was not good enough for you before, and I am even less good enough for you in the future, but no matter how hard I try, I can't forget you!"
Xu Lanzhi was terrified by his lewd words and struggled desperately to escape this dangerous place.
"Lanzhi, don't rush, let me finish," Erzhuzi pleaded.
Xu Lanzhi stopped what she was doing, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.
"I know you have concerns, Auntie, and the children. I don't expect to be with you. I just ask that you stop arranging marriages for me. I just want to stay far away from you and watch over you. I don't want anything else!"
Xu Lanzhi was somewhat moved. When a man tells you, "It doesn't matter if I can't have you in this life, I will never marry, just looking at you is enough," who wouldn't be moved?
With tears in her eyes, Xu Lanzhi said, "Zhuzi, don't do this. It's not fair to you. You should have your own life, get married, have children, and be surrounded by your kids."
Erzhuzi smiled faintly: "Lanzhi, I have indeed thought about this, but the thought of spending my whole life with those women makes me feel uncomfortable. It's better to be alone!"
I didn't know it was because of you until Hongying stood naked in front of me, and all I could think about was you. That's when I realized that this was all I could do in this life!
You don't need to feel guilty. This was my own choice, sister-in-law. Hongying and I really have nothing going on!

Faced with Erzhuzi's passionate confession, Xu Lanzhi felt happy, but even more so, uneasy and guilty.
"Zhu Zi, don't do this, it's impossible for us!" Xu Lanzhi pulled her hand away. "If you tell me this, how can we work together in the future!"
Erzhuzi didn't pull Xu Lanzhi any further. He reverted to his usual dull demeanor and said, "Sister-in-law, you'll always be my sister-in-law. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said today. I've been alone for so long, and this is how my life will be. So please, sister-in-law, give me a meal and let me continue working in your fields!"
"Zhu Zi..." Xu Lanzhi hesitated, not knowing what was going on. She wasn't a cold-blooded animal; she knew all about Er Zhu Zi's sacrifices over the years. But she couldn't say anything, couldn't take that step. If something were to happen between her and Er Zhu Zi, it would infuriate her mother-in-law, Wang Shi, and make others gossip about her daughters!
"Sister-in-law, I understand. I am your and Dongsheng's younger brother!" Erzhuzi said, suppressing his heartache.
Xu Lanzhi was at a loss for what to do, and could only lower her head and wipe away her tears, for Erzhuzi and for herself.
"Lanzhi, Lanzhi, are you there?" Mother-in-law Wang called out anxiously.
Xu Lanzhi and Erzhuzi were both startled. They immediately separated themselves. Xu Lanzhi quickly wiped away her tears and answered with a strong and calm voice, "Mother, I'm inside. Why are you here?"
Only then did Madam Wang enter the house. Seeing that only Erzhuzi and Xu Lanzhi were there, her face darkened, and she said somewhat displeasedly, "Why does it take so long to deliver food? Where is that girl Qiqi?"
Xu Lanzhi quickly put on a smile and said, "Don't even mention it! I had barely stepped into the house when she slipped away, saying she was going to the ranch with Jiedi. That's why I was delayed!"

Wang carefully examined the two of them and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that their clothes and makeup were relatively neat.
She then casually opened the food box, revealing the dishes still untouched. Wang's heart skipped a beat, but she said, "Why haven't you eaten yet? The food is getting cold!"
Erzhuzi spoke first: "Qiqi got me some food, so we'll have to save this for tonight!"
Wang nodded, then suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "I almost forgot the important thing! Peach Blossom is back with her sister, saying that Hongying left her behind!"
