Chapter 52 Zhou Laoba's Thoughts
Seeing this, the Xie family members all looked at the second sister-in-law's mother, Qiu.
I hope she can say something like this as domineeringly as the mistress of the Fang family.
In this way, they will feel more at ease when they receive the favor of Mohism again.
Qiu looked around but still couldn't make up her mind.
The second sister-in-law knows her mother's temperament best. She always listens to her father and would never dare to make the decision on such matters.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about this. We can just show it with our actions in the future."
Mrs. Qiu nodded repeatedly: "Fang'er is right, that's what I think in my heart."
He Zhiran did all this firstly with Mo Jiuye's instruction, and also because he considered that if there were more people together, there would be more people to take care of each other.
The road to exile is long, who can guarantee that no one will be needed?
"Aunts, your words are too serious. We should help each other in times of difficulty and there is no need to be so stressed."
Several sisters-in-law also joined in the conversation, and the atmosphere soon became lively again.
He Zhiran bought thirteen pieces of oilcloth, and when twenty-six tents were ready, it was just time for dinner.
Coincidentally, the officer who escorted Li Hu to the yamen also returned at this time.
He Zhiran planned to distribute all the tents while everyone was there.
The women from the Xie and Fang families left first, taking tents that were big enough for their families.
The six tents of the Mo family were also folded up and taken back by several sisters-in-law.
The rest is used to bribe the officials.
He Zhiran planned to go find Peng Wang and check on Zhou Laoba's health condition.
After asking the officer on duty, she learned that Peng Wang had been in Zhou Laoba's room, so she went there directly.
After knocking on the door, Peng Wang let her in.
Peng Wang is indeed a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate. Although he has been nice to He Zhiran in the past two days, it has never been like this.
Seeing He Zhiran come in, Peng Wang actually stood up and bowed deeply to her.
"Ms. He, I want to thank you for saving my life on behalf of Lao Ba."
This was different from when he was poisoned by a snake. He was completely unconscious at that time and did not see the critical scene with his own eyes.
Therefore, Peng Wang's feelings about He Zhiran saving his life were not as deep as Zhou Laoba's.
He saw with his own eyes that a person who had been declared beyond saving by so many people was saved by He Zhiran.
Although the method of saving people is a bit difficult to talk about.
Of course, this is also for himself.
He felt sorry for his wife...
Facing Peng Wang's bow, He Zhiran did not dodge.
No one knew better than her that if Zhou Laoba had not met her, he would have become a water ghost long ago.
After paying his respects, Peng Wang stood up straight and resumed his original superior demeanor.
"He Shi, do you have something to talk to me about?"
He Zhiran did not seem surprised at the huge difference in his behavior in less than a minute.
On the contrary, she admired Peng Wang's character.
"Master Peng, I just made a few tents with my female relatives, and the officials also have some. You can send someone to pick them up later.
Besides, I also wanted to come and see Mr. Zhou’s health.”
After he finished speaking, He Zhiran looked at Zhou Laoba, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
What surprised her was that Zhou Laoba's face was particularly red.
"Does Mr. Zhou have a fever?"
Peng Wang had been taking care of Zhou Laoba in the room and knew clearly that he did not have a fever.
As a result, when Peng Wang's gaze fell on Zhou Laoba's face following He Zhiran's words, he was also stunned.
"Old Eight, are you feeling unwell? Why were you fine just now, but now your face is so red?"
After hearing what the two said, Zhou Laoba felt his face getting even hotter.
At this moment, he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing Peng Wang's 'devil's claws' reaching towards his forehead, Zhou Laoba dodged and spoke with difficulty.
"I'm not feeling unwell, and I don't have a fever."
Peng Wang became even more confused.
"You don't have a fever, why are you blushing? Mrs. He is here, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell her and let her take a look at you."
When Zhou Laoba heard the word "He", his face turned even redder, and he could even feel the burning sensation.
Based on a doctor's experience, in this situation, there must be something wrong with Zhou Laoba's health.
So, He Zhiran came to the bedside without saying a word and reached out to feel Zhou Laoba's pulse.
Except for the faster heart rate, everything else is normal...
He Zhiran tried hard to think of the various reasons that might have caused Zhou Laoba's symptoms.
Peng Wang stared at He Zhiran, waiting for her to tell him about Peng Wang's situation.
At this moment, Zhou Laoba sat up from the bed.
"I'm not sick."
"Old Eight, what's wrong with you? Don't be so jumpy, it can scare people to death." Peng Wang patted his chest carefully.
Zhou Laoba did not explain anything to Peng Wang, but looked at He Zhiran with difficulty.
The words he spoke were somewhat incoherent.
"He... He, I... I've heard that it was you who saved me by kissing... kissing me.
I... I know that a woman's chastity is above all else, but you... you are already a married woman, and it is difficult for me to say that I will be responsible for you.
Of course, if Mo Jiuye despises you and wants to divorce you, I can... I can also... I can marry you."
After saying that, Zhou Laoba turned his head away guiltily, not daring to look at He Zhiran again.
He Zhiran...
What sin has she committed?
It's just about saving one person, how did it get so far?
What's more, she didn't kiss Zhou Laoba at all.
Peng Wang was also angered by Zhou Laoba's words.
He never expected that after he explained for so long, Zhou Lao Ba still couldn't get around this problem.
"Old Eight, didn't I make it very clear just now?
It wasn't He who woke you up, it was me, it was me, why don't you believe it?"
After all, this incident damaged He Zhiran's reputation, and Peng Wang felt that he needed to explain it clearly.
He Zhiran is extremely emo at this moment.
She complained a lot in her heart, calmed down, and then spoke lightly.
"Master Zhou, I saved you out of my duty as a doctor. It was indeed Master Peng who woke you up. I just taught him the correct methods."
Seeing this, Peng Wang continued to explain, "Old Eight, you don't even believe me anymore, do you? In order to save you, I risked everything and even kissed a grown man like you."
He Zhiran echoed: "Mr. Peng and I have come to this point, what else do you not believe?"
He Zhiran originally wanted to tell Zhou Laoba not to have those inappropriate thoughts, but she thought that saying that might be hurtful, especially when facing an official who was in charge of her, so she had to be careful with her words.
Zhou Laoba turned around without comment, looked at He Zhiran, and then at Peng Wang.
"Boss, my brothers all said they saw Heshi kiss me with their own eyes. Who should I believe?"
He Zhiran and Peng Wang spoke almost at the same time.
"Listen to me."
"Listen to me."
Peng Wang sighed: "I was right next to you at the time, no one knows the situation better than me."
Although Zhou Laoba had already believed what the two said in his heart, he was still stubborn.
"Although I believe what you said, so many people saw Heshi kissing me, which would damage her reputation."
He Zhiran got angry instantly when he saw that Zhou Laoba was not going to listen to any advice.
When she gets angry, she becomes reckless.
"Zhou Laoba, I've made myself clear. Please don't overthink it. Also, you don't need to worry about my reputation."
