After a deep kiss, Li Hehua's face flushed and her breathing was unstable. Zhang Tieshan held her in his arms and patted her back for a long time before she calmed down. Zhang Tieshan held Li Hehua in his arms. Seeing that she had recovered, he did not dare to call her again. He just kissed her ear and said, "Gao Gao, let's get ready and move to the town."
Li Hehua didn't care about being shy and looked up in surprise, "You are moving to town too?"
Zhang Tieshan nodded, "I can take care of you and Shulin in town, and help you solve any problems as soon as possible." When she opens a restaurant in the future, there will be more things to do. How can she feel at ease without him protecting her?
Moreover, the village is not a place to stay for long. Although Li Hehua was not angry about this incident, Zhang Tieshan did not let it go. He understood that if he wanted to start over with his Gao Gao, it was not suitable to stay in the village for long. Villagers always liked to gossip about the Zhang and Li families in their spare time, and there were bound to be rumors. Maybe other people were also saying what Wu Fangshi said, and this kind of thing could not be stopped.
He didn't want her to be wronged.
Moreover, her business is in the town, and it is impossible for her to abandon it and stay in the village. The best way is to live in the town in the future.
Li Hehua blinked, feeling a little tangled and embarrassed. From what Zhang Tieshan said, he wanted to live with her? Although he bought the restaurant and she was together with him now, for her, they were just lovers now. Could it be that they were going to live together like a couple so soon? She couldn't accept it so soon, what should she do...
Li Hehua looked at Zhang Tieshan and asked tentatively: "What about your mother and your brother? Won't you be unable to take care of them like this?"
Zhang Tieshan saw her cautious and conflicted look, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he pinched her nose, "Of course my mother and Qingshan will go with us."
"Ah?" Li Hehua opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Could it be that Zhang Tieshan wanted to force her and his mother together now? She hadn't married him yet...
How could Zhang Tieshan not know what she was thinking? He sighed helplessly and pinched her face, "What are you thinking about? Can I do this without marrying you? You don't trust me, huh?"
After understanding what Zhang Tieshan meant, Li Hehua felt a little embarrassed. She seemed to have misunderstood him. He didn't mean for them to live together.
Zhang Tieshan said, "Gao Gao, I said I would solve all the problems you are worried about, so even if I marry you, as long as my mother's attitude towards you does not change, I will not let you live under the same roof. You don't need to worry, leave it to me."
"Then you said your mother and brother went to town together, why......"
Zhang Tieshan explained: "Everyone in the village knows about my past with her, and they like to gossip. If you stay here, you will inevitably hear more unpleasant things, and my mother will also hear them. My mother is a soft-hearted person. If someone keeps talking behind her ears, it will be even more difficult for her to get along with you. So, my mother also goes to town, which will be good for everyone."
Zhang Tieshan continued, "The most important reason is that Qingshan is not a child anymore. My father is gone, and I have to consider his future. I can't let him live in the village forever, working hard for this piece of land. I plan to take him to the town and let him learn a skill so that he can make a living in the town and not be unable to support the family."
Li Hehua nodded. Indeed, Zhang Qingshan was old enough to consider his future. It would be better to learn a skill than to take care of a small piece of land. Zhang Tieshan was right.
Zhang Tieshan gently stroked Li Hehua's back and told him his plan one by one, "Qingshan is going to town to learn a craft. I am worried about my mother being alone at home. It is better for us to live in town. So I plan to rent a yard in town temporarily, and buy a house when I have enough money. In the future, this house will be left for Qingshan to live in when he gets married. As the eldest brother, I can only do this for him. As for me..." Zhang Tieshan smiled at Li Hehua, "As for me, if I have no place to live, I will ask my wife to take me in. Is it okay, wife?"
Li Hehua felt uncomfortable when he called her his wife, and glared at him and said angrily: "Who is your wife? You have no shame!"
Zhang Tieshan hugged her waist tightly and kissed her red cheek hard, "If you are not my wife, then who will be? I will be homeless in the future. I can only ask you to take me in and give me some food. Then I will do whatever you want. If you say go east, I will never go west. If you say beat the dog, I will never chase the cat. Is that okay?"
Li Hehua wanted to roll her eyes at him, but couldn't help laughing. She reached out and pulled his cheeks to both sides, making his handsome cheeks look funny. Zhang Tieshan let her play as she pleased.
Li Hehua had had enough fun, so he pretended to be kind and said, "Well, if you behave well in the future, I will consider taking you in. If you don't behave well, I won't want you."
Although Li Hehua said so, she knew in her heart that Zhang Tieshan had used all his money to buy a restaurant for her, and he must have no money left, so he had to rent a house. If he didn't buy a restaurant for her, he would definitely be able to buy a big and nice yard in the town to live in. Therefore, Li Hehua would never let him rent a house and then work hard to save money to buy a house. She had to pay for it.
Although she didn't have enough money to buy a yard now, after the restaurant opened and she made more money, she believed that she would be able to buy a yard in no time, and then give it to Zhang Tieshan to repay him for the restaurant. After all, they were not husband and wife now, and she couldn't take his money for nothing, not to mention that he had a younger brother and a mother to support.
Li Hehua said: "Zhang Tieshan, don't rent a house anymore. The lease of the courtyard I'm renting now has not expired yet. You can move in when the time comes. It's a waste if you don't keep it there." When the rent of the courtyard expires, she will have enough money to buy a courtyard, and she can let them live in it directly, and they won't need to rent a house anymore.
Zhang Tieshan thought about it, and did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll let my mother pack up later."
Li Hehua remembered the money Zhang Tieshan had given her before, jumped down from his arms, walked to the bedside, took out the purse from her bag, walked back, and handed the purse to Zhang Tieshan, "Here's the money back to you. This is the money you gave me to buy the restaurant. Now keep it for yourself."
Zhang Tieshan looked at the money bag and didn't take it. Instead, he pulled Li Hehua and hugged her again, saying, "This money is yours. Keep it."
Li Hehua shook his head and said, "No, you have already bought a restaurant for me. I can't take this money. You keep it yourself." As he said that, he was about to stuff the purse into Zhang Tieshan's arms.
Zhang Tieshan grabbed Li Hehua's hand with a smile in his eyes, "Gao Gao, men always give their wives the money they earn. Their wives don't take it actively, but you don't want it when I give it to you. Are you stupid? Aren't you afraid that your man will spend the money recklessly?"
Li Hehua was amused and angry at the same time. He pulled his ear and twisted it, "I'm not your wife! Who cares if you spend money recklessly?"
Zhang Tieshan let her twist, the smile in his eyes became even bigger, and his voice was low and hoarse, "You gave me your little mouth, so you are still my wife, right?"
Li Hehua's face turned red, she was angry at the man's shamelessness. This man, usually taciturn, was so shameless in private!
"shameless!"
Zhang Tieshan raised the corner of his mouth, slowly pressed his face down, and approached Li Hehua's lips little by little, "Then I have no shame at all, just taste my wife's little mouth again."
Li Hehua was so scared that she leaned back repeatedly, but she was no match for Zhang Tieshan. He still held her lips and sucked and bit them lightly. The numbing feeling came over her heart again.
“Boom boom boom—”
Just as Zhang Tieshan pried open her lips and teeth, preparing to taste her deeply, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhang Tieshan paused in his attack, and Li Hehua took the opportunity to quickly slide down his legs, pursed his lips, and felt numb.
Zhang Tieshan looked deeply at Li Hehua who had jumped far away, and stretched out his hand, "Gao Gao, come here."
Li Hehua glared at him and decided not to go over. Going over would be tantamount to committing suicide.
At this time, there was another knock on the door, accompanied by the childish voice of the person outside the door, "Mother - Mother -"
When she heard it was Shulin, Li Hehua hurried over to open the door. As soon as she opened it, the little figure outside the door threw himself into her arms like a cannonball, hugged her neck tightly, and looked very aggrieved.
Daddy is a bad guy. He sent him away for a long time and never took him back.
Seeing this aggrieved look, Li Hehua quickly kissed his forehead to comfort him, "Okay, okay, don't feel aggrieved, it's mother's fault. Next time, I won't let Shulin go out again."
Shulin also kissed Li Hehua on the forehead, indicating that he was not angry with his mother, but blamed his father.
Watching the mother and son "showing affection" in front of him, Zhang Tieshan gritted his teeth and felt that his status was far inferior to his son's. If only he had a daughter, a daughter would be caring and a great helper to her.
Thinking about this, Zhang Tieshan's eyes stopped at Li Hehua's abdomen. Although he had already given birth to a son and couldn't turn it into a daughter, there was still a chance. He would definitely not give birth to a son in the future. He would give birth to a daughter. Daughters are better...
If Li Hehua knew that Zhang Tieshan was shameless again, he would definitely pull his ears and kill him...
At dinner time in the evening, the family sat at the table. Zhang Lin looked a little embarrassed and wanted to say something several times but couldn't.
Zhang Tieshan saw it and said directly: "Mom, pack up in the next two days, and we will move to the town."
Zhang Lin stopped eating in surprise. "What? Move to town? Why do we have to move to town?"
Zhang Qingshan also looked at his brother in confusion.
Zhang Tieshan said, "Qingshan is not a child anymore. He can't just stay in the village to farm. I will take him to town to learn a skill so that he can support the family in the future. You can go with him to take care of him."
When Zhang Lin heard this, she felt it was very right, and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, yes, that's right. Farming is busy all year round, but it can only provide enough to fill your stomach. Our family doesn't have many fields, and your brother is not as talented as you, so he should learn a skill." At this point, Zhang Lin suddenly remembered the issue of residence, and said worriedly, "But Tieshan, where are we going to live in town? Where can we find houses in town?" A small courtyard is not cheap, how can we afford it?
Zhang Tieshan remained calm, glanced at Li Hehua and said, "Gao Gao has rented a house in town. The rent has not yet expired, so we can live there in the future. By the time the rent expires, Qingshan will have learned the craft well."
Zhang Lin was surprised and couldn't help but look at Li Hehua. The expression on her face was a little complicated, with surprise, confusion, awkwardness, and touching... She didn't expect that Li Hehua would be willing to give them a yard to live in. Even if it was rented, it would cost a lot of money every month. Their relationship was not good, so she would be reluctant to let them live there.
Li Hehua secretly looked at Zhang Tieshan who was eating without changing his expression, and felt indescribably touched. This man was trying to say good things for her in different ways. He definitely didn't tell his mother that he used the money from selling the tiger to buy a restaurant for her, otherwise Zhang Lin would probably have torn her to pieces, and there was no way he would have shown any emotion towards her.
Thinking of this, Li Hehua didn't want to waste Zhang Tieshan's hard work, so she pursed her lips, smiled at Zhang Lin, then lowered her head and continued eating.
Zhang Lin saw this and suddenly felt that this woman had really changed. Not only was she willing to give the yard to their family to live in, but she also did not take credit for it. She had really changed for the better.
Zhang Tieshan saw a slight change on his mother's face and a barely perceptible smile flashed in her eyes.
The next day, Zhang Lin was busy packing up her belongings. Since the courtyard had everything, all she had to do was take the pots, pans, and daily toiletries with her. Zhang Lin packed up quickly and finished in just two days.
Zhang Tieshan asked Zhang Qingshan to go to the town to rent a donkey cart and directly take all the things to the town.
This was quite a big event. When the villagers saw it, they all came to ask about it. Zhang Lin raised her head proudly and said, "We are going to move to the town and live there from now on."
At that time, for the villagers, being able to live in the town was a very remarkable thing. When they heard that the Zhang family was going to move to the town, they were immediately envious and jealous, but they only showed envy on the surface.
"Oh, Sister Zhang, you are so lucky to be able to live in town."
"Mrs. Zhang, your son is so filial that he even took you to live in town. I don't have that blessing."
"It would be great if my son could be as capable as Tieshan. I really envy you, Sister Zhang."
"Mrs. Zhang, do you have a yard in your town?"
Zhang Lin was in a very high mood when she heard what the villagers said. She couldn't stop smiling and felt extremely proud. She had never been envied by so many people in her life.
When Zhang Lin finally got on the car amid the compliments of the villagers, she was still in a good mood, thinking that she was so blessed in her life that her son was so capable that he could take her to live in the town. Then she remembered that the yard they lived in the town was rented by Li Hehua, and suddenly she liked Li Hehua sitting opposite her better.
When they arrived at the courtyard in the town, Li Hehua helped them clean up the room, and then went to Mrs. Xie's house to pick up Heizi. She left in a hurry and had no time to take care of Heizi, so she could only send him to Mrs. Xie's house. She hadn't seen him for so many days, and didn't know how Heizi was doing.
She missed Heizi a lot during this period.
When he heard that Li Hehua was going to pick up Heizi, Shulin's eyes lit up immediately. He ran towards Li Hehua with his short legs, stretching out his hands for a hug, "Mom - Mom -"
Li Hehua picked him up and asked, "Do you want to go with your mother to pick up Heizi and take him home?"
Shulin nodded his head hastily. He missed Heizi so much.
Li Hehua nodded, "Okay, then you and mom go together to pick up our Heizi and take him home."
The gate of Mrs. Xie's house was open. When Li Hehua carried Shulin in, the first person to see them was Heizi. Heizi, who had been lying listlessly on the ground, suddenly jumped up and pounced on the two of them. He kept rubbing against Li Hehua's thighs, whimpering, and stretching his mouth to touch Shulin's little feet.
Shulin quickly slid down from Li Hehua's arms, hugged Heizi, and put his head together with Heizi's. The man and the dog were as affectionate as brothers who had been separated for many years.
Sister Xie heard the noise and came out of the house. Seeing that it was Li Hehua, she smiled in surprise and said, "Sister Hehua, you're back?"
Xiao Yuan also ran out in surprise, "Auntie Hehua."
Li Hehua nodded, "Sister-in-law, Xiaoyuan, we are back. I am here to take Heizi home."
Mrs. Xie hurriedly welcomed Li Hehua inside, "Come in and sit for a while. You haven't had time to clean up since you just came back, right? Have lunch at my place."
Li Hehua waved his hand, "No need, sister-in-law. The house is cleaned up and it's very convenient to cook lunch. We won't eat here. We will go home after picking up Heizi."
Sister Xie said, "Why are you being so polite to us? Just stay and eat."
Li Hehua refused: "Sister-in-law, we really don't want to eat here at noon. Please don't keep us here. I came here not only to pick up Heizi, but also to tell you that the restaurant will be renovated soon. You and Xiaoyuan should prepare and we will be there in two days."
Mrs. Xie was delighted to hear this and nodded, "Okay, okay, just call us when you want us to start working. We are ready anytime." They had been at home for nearly half a month and had long wanted to work and earn money.
After explaining everything to Mrs. Xie, Li Hehua took Shulin and Heizi home. On the way home, Shulin didn't need Li Hehua to hold him. He walked beside Heizi with his short legs, put his hands on Heizi's body, and gently grabbed Heizi's fur. They looked like two good friends walking hand in hand, but Shulin's steps were too small, not even half the size of Heizi's. In order to cooperate with Shulin, Heizi took very small steps and walked slowly, not minding the trouble at all.
Li Hehua followed behind the two little guys and was so moved by them.
When we move to the backyard of the restaurant, we must bring Heizi with us.
Li Hehua planned to pack up her things in the afternoon and move to the restaurant. The backyard there did not need to be renovated and could be lived in directly. After she moved out, she would leave the room empty for Zhang Tieshan and Zhang Linshi to live in.
