"I, I have nothing to repay you with, I, I only have myself."
Hu Qiaoling said in a low and faint voice as she looked down.
Zhang Xiaoshan understood Hu Qiaoling’s intentions and hurriedly explained,
"That’s not what I an. Although I did bump into you earlier, now I really just think that you are kind-hearted and a good girl. I rely wanted to help you, so don’t be like this."
Zhang Xiaoshan tried to pry Hu Qiaoling’s hand away.
But Hu Qiaoling held on tight, showing no intention of letting go.
She lifted her head, her eyes gathering mist, and said in a very aggrieved tone,
"Do you, do you despise ? I’ve told you, I am clean, I, I’m not that kind of dirty girl."
"No, no, how could I despise you? I... "
Zhang Xiaoshan wanted to explain further, but the tears in Hu Qiaoling’s eyes had already begun to flow.
Big teardrops fell with a patter.
"Don’t cry, please don’t cry, okay, okay, co here then."
Zhang Xiaoshan gave up resisting.
Imdiately, Hu Qiaoling sighed in relief and began her move.
...
Afterward, Hu Qiaoling showed a totally satisfied expression.
"Let help you with your clothes."
She obediently dressed Zhang Xiaoshan piece by piece and then said,
"I’m leaving now. If I go back too late, Li Erniu will suspect sothing."
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded, and only then did Hu Qiaoling leave reassured.
"Ah, such a good girl."
By now, it was already late, and Zhang Xiaoshan quickly descended the slope and returned ho.
At ho.
Shen Xinhe was already able to get out of bed, and was sitting on a little stool in the yard watching the sunset, nearly mummified in wraps.
Sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu was squatting in the middle of the yard washing clothes.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan enter, Shen Xinhe raised her hand to greet him.
But Yu Xiuxiu didn’t even lift her eyelids, treating Zhang Xiaoshan as if he were air.
Trouble was brewing.
Zhang Xiaoshan already had a clue.
"Sister-in-law, let wash them. You rest a bit."
Zhang Xiaoshan hurried over, scooped up the clothes from the basin, and prepared to scrub.
It turned out to be Yu Xiuxiu’s intimate panties.
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiaoshan and Yu Xiuxiu both froze where they stood.
"I, sister-in-law, I, it’s a misunderstanding, I, I didn’t do it on purpose."
Zhang Xiaoshan went numb.
"Hehehehe..."
Shen Xinhe, sitting on the stool, laughed out loud for the first ti.
"Shut up."
Shen Xinhe rolled her eyes and tactfully went back to her room.
"Will you let go of it."
Yu Xiuxiu, her face flushed, snatched her intimate clothes from Zhang Xiaoshan’s hands and picked up the basin to return to her room.
"Sister-in-law, don’t leave, listen to my explanation."
"Explain what?"
Yu Xiuxiu’s face was ice-cold.
"I..."
Zhang Xiaoshan hadn’t figured out what to say yet when Yu Xiuxiu pouted and said resentfully,
"Didn’t you tell last ti that you and Mr. Xu had just encountered each other once in the county town? How did you beco boyfriend and girlfriend then?"
"Moreover, you even slept together."
"And, you even bought her such expensive items; you, you really spared no expense."
Clearly, Yu Xiuxiu had already learned about what had happened at Zhang Ercai’s house.
One trouble was resolved, but bigger troubles followed suit.
"Sister-in-law, things aren’t what you think, Xu Jing and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend. There are so misunderstandings here," Zhang Xiaoshan stated, steeling his nerves.
"Misunderstandings?"
Yu Xiuxiu responded very vehently.
"You said the sa last ti, and I naively believed you, but what about now?"
"Alright, you tell about the misunderstandings. Is it true that you bought Mr. Xu’s new phone, and the new clothes, too?"
"I..."
Zhang Xiaoshan was at a loss for words.
At the ti, he had shown everyone his spending records; denying it now would be difficult.
"Yes."
He couldn’t et Yu Xiuxiu’s eyes and shafully lowered his head.
"Huh."
Yu Xiuxiu took a deep breath to calm her angry emotions and continued speaking to Zhang Xiaoshan,
"But this is also good. I had long advised you to be with Mr. Xu. You both are of similar age, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Together, you definitely won’t be bad. How about this—go talk to Mr. Xu and arrange for to et her parents soon. Let’s settle you two down."
"Sister-in-law, I, I, I, I’m sorry."
Zhang Xiaoshan knew it was all his fault. Explaining was futile now, and he didn’t have much to explain regarding this issue.
"Go talk to Mr. Xu right now, hurry."
Yu Xiuxiu pushed and shoved Zhang Xiaoshan out into the yard.
"Bang."
The yard door shut tightly, locking Zhang Xiaoshan outside.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
Zhang Xiaoshan pounded on the gate vigorously, but Yu Xiuxiu paid no heed.
"It’s over; sister-in-law is probably really angry now."
Zhang Xiaoshan stood outside the door for a while, sowhat disheartened, and then went to the clinic, guessing that it would probably be difficult for him to enter his ho for a while.
"Yu Xiuxiu, oh Yu Xiuxiu, what are you doing? It’s normal for Little Shan and Mr. Xu to be in a relationship; why are you so angry? Isn’t your lifelong wish for Little Shan to find a woman, get married, settle down?"
"To get Little Shan married, you even resorted to borrowing money at high interest rates, but now that Little Shan has found a better girl than Wu Xiaoru, why have your thoughts changed?"
"Heaven, could you actually have fallen for Little Shan?"
"You shaless woman, that, that’s your brother-in-law."
"But, but, we have already been that way."
Yu Xiuxiu didn’t know how to handle her relationship with Zhang Xiaoshan and began to sob on the ground.
"Oh, there’s sothing going on here."
Shen Xinhe crouched at the window, peering through the gap in the curtains at the outside, curiosity and gossip filling her eyes.
