Tian Xiaofeng didn't answer, feeling somewhat flattered. "No need, Brother Huang Bin. You're a hero, and it's my duty to take care of you. Besides, my sisters bought me so many things today, you really don't have to be so polite to me."

"They are them, and I am me."

Huang Bin doesn't want to owe anyone a favor.

Tian Xiaofeng still refused to accept it, "Brother Huang Bin, if you are so polite, you don't treat me as your own."

He is the youngest among their group.

He is young, outgoing, sociable, and sweet-spoken, making him very likable.

This is why, even though he and Ruan Qing didn't get along before and he thought Ruan Qing was a bad woman, after getting along for a long time, the two of them became like real siblings.

Huang Bin forced the money into his hand, suppressing his resistance, and said, "I treat you as my younger brother, so I give you pocket money."

Tian Xiaofeng frowned, feeling very embarrassed.

Lin Ziqiu's voice came from behind, "Xiaofeng, since it's a gift from your brother Huang Bin, just accept it."

"You should move in and sleep in the same room with your brother Huang Bin for the next few days. Take care of him at night and don't sleep too deeply."

Ruan Qing had just told her this decision secretly downstairs.

Yi Weicai passed away. At this critical juncture, even if we find someone new to take care of Huang Bin's daily life, it will be difficult to find someone reliable and attentive.

Tian Xiaofeng is smart and capable, making him a perfect companion for Huang Bin.

Besides, since they were acquaintances, Huang Bin didn't resist too much.

As expected, Tian Xiaofeng clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Okay! Brother Huang Bin, don't worry, I sleep very well and will definitely not grab the quilt or anything like that."

Huang Bin's mouth twitched slightly, and he was caught off guard by this decision.

However, given the current situation, Tian Xiaofeng is the best candidate.

Although Ruan Qing is his doctor, there is a difference between men and women after all. It is inconvenient for him to go to the toilet and wash. It is definitely a good thing to have a caring brother like Tian Xiaofeng.

"Okay." Huang Bin made up his mind. "Then I'll have to work hard for you these few days. You two should discuss it. We can't let Xiaofeng work for nothing. I want to pay him a salary."

Lin Ziqiu thought this was a good idea. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. Only after giving money would Huang Bin feel at ease to order Tian Xiaofeng around.

As he gets paid, Tian Xiaofeng works hard.

"No need! The ten dollars you gave me just now is already a lot!"

Tian Xiaofeng was not greedy at all. These ten yuan were half a month's salary for him.

The two pushed each other, and finally Ruan Qing came out and made a decision, "Xiaofeng, your brother Huang Bin is not short of money. Don't be polite to him if you can make more money."

Huang Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and followed her words and said, "Your sister Qing is right, accept it."

Tian Xiaofeng blinked, "Then... then I won't be polite!"

Ruan Qing continued, "I don't want much, ten dollars a day."

Huang Bin: "..."Will grandpa scold me for being a spendthrift?

"Ah?" Tian Xiaofeng backed out again, "This is too much... No, no."

He was originally thinking of making one dollar a day.

Ruan Qing added, "Are you looking down on your brother Huang Bin? Does he need this little money?"

Huang Bin coughed twice and reluctantly agreed, "It's just ten yuan a day."

Tian Xiaofeng widened his eyes in disbelief and was so excited that he almost hugged Huang Bin's thigh.

Afterwards, Lin Ziqiu and Ruan Qing were counting the things they had bought in the house. Lin Ziqiu couldn't help but ask, "Will Huang Bin be unable to sleep at night if you trick him like this?"

Ruan Qing disagreed, "Then you underestimate him too much."

"And do you want another stranger to follow us around all day?"

This is true.

Lin Ziqiu nodded thoughtfully, "Then Xiaofeng made a killing."

Ruan Qing said seriously, "It's what he deserves. This is the result of his hard work."

Lin Ziqiu smiled helplessly and said, "I'm going out to make a phone call."

Ruan Qing crossed her arms and said, "You went to report to your husband again. You just went on a long trip, how come you became a husband slave?"

"Nonsense!" Lin Ziqiu retorted, "I'm not in love!"

"Then you are still going?"

"You don't understand. This is called the interest between husband and wife."

Ruan Qing: “…”

Looking at Lin Ziqiu's face that seemed to be enjoying it, Ruan Qing held his forehead and thought, what is this!

Father, like son!

He's clearly in love!

She will definitely not be like Lin Ziqiu!

Women should be self-reliant!

···

All landline calls are answered, and seats are thoughtfully placed nearby.

Lin Ziqiu waited for a while before Zhong Heyang's voice came from the other side.

"Wife, I just finished a training today. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's okay." Lin Ziqiu heard his panting, "If it's not convenient for you, we can contact each other tomorrow."

"No."

Zhong Heyang objected righteously, "We agreed to call each other every day."

Lin Ziqiu chuckled, "What if something happens and we lose contact one day?"

There was a hesitation for a few seconds.

Then came Zhong Heyang's cold and magnetic voice: "Then I will come to you immediately."

"That won't do!" Lin Ziqiu's tone became more serious. "I've already told you, this is a critical moment, you can't let me down! Otherwise, I'll really be angry!"

They had hardly ever had a real argument since they got married.

Except for the matter in bed, Zhong Heyang was very accommodating to her in everything else, and Lin Ziqiu basically never got angry in front of her.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my wife."

A man's low laugh came from the receiver. His voice was so magnetic that it seemed as if he was speaking right into her ear.

Lin Ziqiu's heartbeat quickened slightly, and his face felt a little hot.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and planned to tell him about her current situation.

"There's something I want to tell you."

Zhong Heyang suddenly became serious, "Well, go ahead, I'm listening."

Lin Ziqiu held her chin with one hand, her eyes full of confusion, "Do you know Aunt Shen's family?"

"The Shen family? I know a little bit about it."

Zhong Heyang spoke slowly, "I heard from my mother that Aunt Shen has three sisters and one brother, and she is the youngest. It is said that her family had originally arranged a marriage for her, with people of equal social status, but she was determined to marry my master."

When Meng Zhiwei first met Shen Xiu, he was just an unknown soldier.

How could a wealthy family like the Shen family be willing to marry their young daughter to him?

So a scene happened where the two lovers were forced to break up.

"My wife has been bound by family rules since she was a child. Even the smallest things, such as dressing and eating, have regulations. She lives like a delicate puppet."

"Marriage is her only chance to break free from the constraints of her family of origin. If she obeys her family's arrangements and enters into an arranged marriage, her entire life will be controlled, with no sense of self and no freedom."

"She didn't want to live that kind of life. Even if following my master would mean a lot of hardship, she was determined to marry him."
