After the marriage, the charming educated youth is eye-catching

Old Master Li's eyes were red as he said viciously, "Lin Dahai is a beast! I know he's not a good person, and I tried to persuade your mother, but she insisted on getting married, and I really couldn't do anything..."

"Blame me, it's all my fault for not being cruel enough. If I had known this would be the outcome, I would have kept her at home even if I had to break her legs!"

Lin Ziqiu heard his grandfather's choked voice and tried to comfort him, "Grandpa, Mom won't blame you. She just feels that she didn't have the chance to honor you. But it doesn't matter, Grandpa, you still have me."

Old Master Li shed tears and patted her head. "Good girl, promise grandpa that those two beasts deserve to die, but don't let hatred blind you and do anything stupid..."

"Grandpa has already...already sent off a young man once...you have to promise Grandpa that no matter what, you live your life well and that's the most important thing!"

Lin Ziqiu felt a lump in her throat, and she couldn't help but seek revenge.

Unexpectedly, grandpa saw through her thoughts.

She pursed her lips and said bitterly: "Grandpa, I won't be stupid, don't worry, but I won't let them go of my mother's affairs just like that."

"Zi Qiu..."

"Grandpa, please don't try to persuade me. I can promise you that I will definitely ensure my own safety. I won't put myself in any trouble."

Mr. Li knew that she was stubborn, especially when it came to matters related to her mother.

It seems that he needs to give Zhong Heyang more instructions about this matter. He is old and often has difficulty in moving, but Zhong Heyang is different.

He is Zi Qiu's husband.

Based on what he said today, he would not let Lin Ziqiu get hurt.

Not long after, Zhong Heyang returned to the Li family carrying two bags of rice and more than ten pounds of pork and ribs.

Lin Ziqiu didn't expect that he was actually going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy supplies for his grandfather. She quickly stood up and went to take the things, "You..."

Zhong Heyang looked at her with his deep eyes, and instead of putting the thing in her hand, he walked over her and carried it into the house himself.

Mr. Li looked at him thoughtfully, leaning on his cane.

"Grandpa, please see if there's anything missing. I'll bring it to you later."

Zhong Heyang had just heard about the possibility of a flood disaster when he was at the supply and marketing cooperative. Although he didn't know who spread the news, Ruan Qing's distribution of supplies at this time was enough to prove that the flood disaster was most likely true.

The old man is old, so it is natural for the young people at home to play a role in matters like this.

Old Master Li narrowed his eyes and said deliberately, "A while ago, Zi Qiu asked me to go to your compound during the New Year. I don't need all the things you sent over."

Zhong Heyang was a little surprised. If it were someone else, his wife would definitely feel resentful if she took the initiative to bring her family to her husband's house to celebrate the New Year without even saying hello to him.

But Zhong Heyang was only filled with joy.

Before, he was worried that Lin Ziqiu didn’t really regard the Zhong family as her own home. Now that she can take the initiative to invite her grandfather to live with her, it shows that the Zhong family has become a home recognized by her.

"Looks like I need to buy more fish and meat to take home, and also some wine, so I can have a few drinks with Grandpa."

Old Master Li looked him over tentatively. After hearing what he said, he finally smiled. "Okay, I'll stay at your house for a few more days. Just don't think I'm annoying."

Before, he had some concerns about going to the Zhong family to celebrate the New Year.

But the rain disaster made him feel a little uneasy. He thought Zi Qiu had known about it for a long time, so she invited them to the Zhong family for the New Year early.

It just so happened that when the time came, he would call Tian Xiaofeng and his son, and all of their maternal relatives to go, and also let the Zhong family know that Zi Qiu was backed by his maternal family.

"Zi Qiu, go and pour a cup of hot tea for my filial grandson-in-law."

He called out, and Lin Ziqiu came back to her senses. It was so cold outside, and she saw that Zhong Heyang's hands were frozen red. "I'll go right away."

As soon as she left, Mr. Li told Zhong Heyang, "Zi Qiu cares about her mother the most. Now she knows that Lin Dahai and his wife have been cheating on her for a long time. Please keep an eye on Zi Qiu for me. I'm afraid she might do something stupid in the heat of the moment."

Zhong Heyang came back late and didn't hear everything that happened today.

He frowned slightly, "Zi Qiu is very sensible. She wouldn't do anything stupid even for her mother-in-law. But don't worry, Grandpa. As long as I'm here, I will definitely protect her."

Old Master Li sighed quietly. If his poor daughter knew in the afterlife that she had married such a beastly scumbag, she would probably regret it.

He couldn't see his daughter happy, so he would take good care of Zi Qiu for the rest of his life.

After leaving the Li family, Lin Ziqiu put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the tall and straight man beside him. "Thank you for what you did today."

Thank him for protecting me, thank him for giving me enough sense of security, and even for truly treating her relatives as his own.

"Husband and wife are one body. You don't have to be so polite to me."

Zhong Heyang quickened his pace and walked around to her right side, walking side by side with her.

Lin Ziqiu noticed this detail of his and realized that he was deliberately asking her to walk on the inside of the road, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.

She tilted her head and smiled softly, "You're right. I'm just being polite. Don't take it seriously."

Her playful look softened Zhong Heyang's heart.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and pinch her fair face, "Did you miss me during the time I was away from home?"

Lin Ziqiu met the man's fiery gaze. She felt a little shy and quickly turned her face away. "I... why do I miss you? I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to think about you..."

Zhong Heyang felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. His throat moved up and down, and his deep voice was filled with nostalgia. "I miss you, I miss you very much."

"You--" Lin Ziqiu paused, his heart beating so fast that it was deafening.

Zhong Heyang stretched out his hand and took her into his arms. "They say that a day without seeing you feels like three years. I feel like I have a disease."

Lin Ziqiu raised his head slightly, "Hmm?"

"lovesickness."

Zhong Heyang's mission this time was very dangerous, and he even wrote a suicide note.

He was not afraid of death, but he was very afraid that after he left, she would not want to stay in the Zhong family.

She couldn't go back to the Lin family at all. His heart ached when he thought that she might suffer alone outside.

Lin Ziqiu chuckled and said in a somewhat unromantic way, "Where did you learn that? You're so smooth-talking."

After a pause, she deliberately teased him, frowned, and asked deliberately: "Could it be that before you married me, you were not as aloof from women as they said? Did you secretly date many women?"
