After dinner, Chen Zhongqian and Chen Yunzhao talked for a while and then went back to the house.
Lin Yuxi took care of the child to sleep and went back a little later than him.
Chen Zhongqian made the bed and gave her the more than one hundred taels of silver he had left today. "For household purposes, the uncle said that our new house is almost dry and we can put furniture in it."
"Yeah." Lin Joy nodded.
Chen Zhongqian added, "I have to go to the academy every day. You have worked hard on this, so you can ask someone to help me."
"Who can I ask for help?"
Chen Zhongqian said with a little anger, "The eldest young master of the Wei family is capable and rich. Let him find someone to help."
Lin Yuxi smiled as if his suspicion had been confirmed, "No wonder I felt sour during dinner. I thought it was too much vinegar, but it turned out that someone overturned the vinegar jar."
"I'm not jealous." Someone was exposed and couldn't help but retort.
Lin Yuxi folded her hands, "I didn't say you were jealous, I meant that the second cousin-in-law accidentally knocked over the vinegar jar when she was cooking, so I felt sour when I ate."
Chen Zhongqian was embarrassed and angry, so he lay down on the bed and ignored her.
"Are you angry?"
Chen Zhongqian said nothing and turned over to sleep.
Lin Yuxi raised his eyebrows, "Then I will follow your wishes and ask Master Wei for help. What you said makes sense. He is rich and capable. He can just find a few boys to help him with anything.
nailed it."
She patted Chen Zhongqian on the shoulder, "Don't worry, just study hard in the academy. I can take care of everything at home. Someone can help me."
Chen Zhongqian said in a sullen voice, "Whatever you want, I'll be happy if you don't let me worry about you. Then I have to thank Master Wei for saving my life today and helping my family like this."
"Do I have to leave a room for him? Tell me which room you want him to live in. I'll let him choose first."
Lin Yuxi knew him very well now. She felt something was wrong with him when she came out of the academy today, but there were always other people present, so it was difficult to reason.
Isn't that right? When they were alone in the house, someone started to act strangely.
"You said it yourself. I'll go tell him tomorrow and ask him to come live in our house."
Chen Zhongqian finally couldn't help it anymore, turned over and sat up, staring at her, "Lin Xixi, you've gone too far!"
This was the first time he called her such a loud name. Lin Yuxi was not angry at all and looked at him with a smile, "Why did I go too far? Tell me."
"You...why did you let him go to the academy? When I was so embarrassed, I let him see the joke."
Lin Yuxi sat down next to him and blinked, "So you're angry about this?"
Thinking about it from his perspective, that's exactly what happened. He didn't know why, but he had always been hostile to Wei Feng.
When I was so embarrassed, this man who I didn't want to see helped me, so I would definitely feel a little uncomfortable.
Lin Yuxi nodded to himself, "Then you can just scold me and you won't be afraid of making yourself angry. I went to the academy with him because I was anxious and happened to meet him on the road."
"When I got to the academy, my feet were sprained, and I heard someone bullying you, so I let him go in first. I..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Chen Zhongqian ask nervously, "What? Is your foot sprained? Which foot?"
As he said that, he opened her trouser legs to take a look.
In fact, Lin Yuxi didn't feel much pain anymore. He immediately made a pitiful look and exposed his ankle with the patch on it.
"See for yourself, it's swollen like this, but I haven't said anything yet."
Chen Zhongqian was anxious, but he calmed down a lot after seeing it, "It seems...not swollen."
Lin Yuxi lowered his head and saw that it was indeed not swollen. This damn patch was so effective that it couldn't even be sold despite the poor sales.
"That's it, you still say you're not swollen? You're still so angry. Who am I doing this because of? Just divorce me and I'll go live with Wei Feng."
Chen Zhongqian frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not afraid of the children hearing it."
"If you hear it, listen. If you can't live with it, leave."
Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment after finishing speaking. What was going on with the tone of this old couple?
Chen Zhongqian knew that he had misunderstood her, and he knew that she was worried about spraining her foot, so he felt guilty and worried.
"I'm just talking nonsense. I didn't mean it. I just thought you asked Wei Feng for help. I... I'm sorry."
Apologized.
Lin Yuxi was not angry to begin with. Instead, she was a little happy because of someone's nonsense when they were jealous. He corrected his mistakes when he knew they were wrong, which made her even more happy.
"Do you really realize your mistake?"
"Um."
Lin Yuxi snorted, "I don't know why I'm competing with others. Those who don't know think that I'm having an affair with them and ruining my reputation."
"Who told you to stare at him as soon as we met? You were so absorbed in looking at him, I will always remember him."
Lin Yuxi curled her lips, "That's it, you still say you're not jealous? Brother, with all due respect, if you get cooked one day, your mouth will probably be the only one that's hard on your body."
"I'm not jealous, it's just... I think I'm better-looking than him, just look at me."
"Are you too narcissistic?" Lin Joy said casually, "I look at you and him that way, but I didn't kiss him, but I did..."
Chen Zhongqian looked at her expectantly. Lin Xixi blushed rarely, took off her shoes, turned over to bed, and said, "Sleep."
The room was quiet for a while, and Chen Zhongqian came over again and asked, "Um, does your foot still hurt?"
"What do you think? I twisted it when I jumped out of the car. It hurts so much that I can't walk. Someone is so kind. He just knows how to make me angry and leave me alone. It hurts me to death."
Lin Yiyi complained a few words, and felt a pair of warm hands on her ankles, making her tremble and not daring to look back.
"Would it feel better if you rub it like this?"
"have no idea."
"Aren't you a doctor? Is it possible that you don't know this?"
Lin Joy snorted indifferently, "Then just rub it until your hands are sore."
"Oh, you go to sleep, I'll be gentler."
Chen Zhongqian really started to rub her ankle, gently, for fear that she would be in more pain. If Lin Yuxi moved even a little, he would stop quickly.
Lin Xixi turned her back to him and said nothing. She closed her eyes tightly but couldn't fall asleep.
Those big, warm hands seemed to be rubbing her heart, making her feel itchy and numb. She couldn't tell what it felt like.
"Hello."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yuxi paused before saying, "You performed very well today. You defeated so many people by yourself and left them speechless. This makes you look like my husband-in-law."
Chen Zhongqian smiled slightly, kept moving his hands, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to give me a reward?"
After asking, both of them were stunned.
Reward, reward...
Chen Zhongqian quickly explained, "I said it casually."
Lin Joy coughed lightly, "Yeah...it's not impossible."
