Qin Zhao said: "This matter will not be let go like this."
"This incident itself isn't a big deal. The village chief has to mediate countless minor neighborhood conflicts like this every day. But this incident is different from the others."
Jing Li blinked: "Because of Miss Xiu?"
"Yes." Qin Zhao said, "For the Li family, they are worried about whether this matter will be exposed, because it will affect Miss Xiu's reputation."
Jing Li asked worriedly, "You won't tell anyone about this, will you?"
The villagers care most about women's reputation. If the matter really gets out, not only A Xiu, but also Li Hongyu and his family will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the village.
He felt that... Qin Zhao should not be that kind of person.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "Of course not."
Jing Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why did you say..."
"But the Li family doesn't know."
Jing Li finally understood: "So you deliberately refused to accept the village chief's mediation today just to disgust them?"
Qin Zhao tilted his head to look at him and smiled softly: "Is it not possible?"
Jing Li: “…”
He found that although Qin Zhao looked serious, he was actually a dark person at heart.
As the two of them were talking, they had already walked back to the door of their new home.
Qin Zhao had moved all the things from the cottage a few days ago, and the cottage has now been returned to its original owner, left for Chen Yanan to use for his studies.
Pushing open the bamboo gate, the small courtyard before you is quiet and warm. A gravel path leads from the gate to the stone bridge, and from the stone bridge to the main house.
It was still daylight before they left, so there were no candles in the house and the whole yard seemed a little dim.
There was no time to plant flowers or plants on both sides of the gravel road, and there were only bare patches of soil.
Qin Zhao took Jing Li's hand and sat him down on a bamboo chair beside the pool. He went into the house and got a handkerchief to wipe his face.
"I told you not to go out by yourself. After you went to the fields, you turned from a little fish into a tabby cat." Qin Zhao chuckled.
Jing Li whispered, "This was an accident."
After calming down, Jing Li was still a little angry.
He clearly wanted to perform well today and change Qin Zhao's impression of him, but who knew that this would happen before he could even do any work.
As expected, we can’t let that guy surnamed Li go.
After cleaning up her husband, the two of them had dinner and went to bed early.
Qin Zhao was making the bed in the inner room. Jing Li poked his head out from behind the wooden screen and looked at him eagerly.
Fang Tianying was very considerate and changed them into a double bed, which was so big that Jingli could roll around on it. However, Jingli had just moved in and was feeling fresh, so he slept in the pool in the yard for the first few days.
But……
Qin Zhao noticed his gaze and asked with a smile, "Don't you want to sleep in the pool today?"
"No, no, it's just..." Jing Li was a little flustered by his gaze and said at a loss, "It's just that Doctor Ge said I'm injured and can't touch water!"
Qin Zhao: "..."
Jing Li: “…”
A fish cannot touch water when it is injured. Even if it is told, it itself will not believe it.
Qin Zhao didn't expose him, and chuckled, "Come up quickly, I'm going to turn off the lights."
Jing Li: “Hmm…”
The candle went out, and the room was suddenly shrouded in moonlight.
Jing Li curled up with his back to Qin Zhao, but his breathing did not calm down for a long time.
Qin Zhao asked: "Why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you thinking about?"
Jing Li turned over, his face showing no trace of sleepiness at all. "Doctor Ge said today that Li Hongyu broke his arm and it will take more than three months to heal."
