"Brother Rong, there is really no need for you to do this." Li Shi quietly pulled Zhou Zirong to talk, and she looked at him with distressed eyes, "Look at you, what have you become? Dark, thin, You are almost the same as those mud legs. However, that Hu family has a heart of stone. If you treat her with all your heart and soul, she doesn't know how to be considerate of you, and she dismisses you with a word of "thank you."
Zhou Zirong opened his eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief: "Auntie, what are you talking about? Mrs. Hu is my wife, and it is only natural for me to treat her well? I treat her with all my heart and soul, and that is because of her. Well, it's worth it for her. You don't say that kind of thing again."
Li Shi looked at him in astonishment: "Brother Rong"
Zhou Zirong stopped listening to her, turned his head and left.
Li Shi watched him walk into the yard, sit on the small wooden pier, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the dress in the wooden basin, and scrubbed it skillfully, it was hard to say. She watched almost numbly as he finished washing his clothes, then hung them to dry, and patted them open carefully so as not to leave any wrinkles on them.
"Master, madam, I'm sorry" Mrs. Li shed tears.
If Zhou Zirong was not still studying hard, although he did all kinds of chores every day, it did not affect his regular reading, Li Shi would almost have to apologize with death - the young master of their Zhou family actually washed a country woman's dress!
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed.
Zhou Zirong is going to the provincial capital to take the rural examination.
"Ma'am, will you go with me?" A handsome face appeared in front of Luo Yi and said to her with a smile.
Luo Yi looked up at the young man in front of him who had changed greatly.
In the past two years, Zhou Zirong has taken care of all the heavy and chores in the family. Years of hard work has made him no longer have the red lips and white teeth, and the slender willow waist, as if he could be blown away by the wind. He grew taller, darker, and stronger.
It's not Wang Dalin's kind of burly body, but slender and well-proportioned, looks thin, but is extremely powerful. In the past, the firewood that made him unable to straighten his back, and his legs trembled when he walked, can now be easily picked up by him.
But a face is still handsome, no less than before. Even more exciting than before.
He used to have red lips and white teeth, and many people despised him as a sissy and unmanly. Today's him, his facial features are longer and open, his eyebrows are flying into his temples, his eyes are romantic, he is completely different from the beauty of a woman, but anyone who has seen him can't help showing surprise.
Looking at Zhou Zirong like this, Luo Yi was quite emotional. In the early days, she didn't know why he suddenly changed his temperament, and she kept waiting for him to show his true colors when he couldn't pretend anymore. Unexpectedly, he was quite able to bear it, and this act lasted for two years.
In the past two years, he didn't ask her for a penny, and even gave her the money he wrote and sold paintings. She naturally refused to accept it, so he used the money to buy her dresses, jewelry, and delicious food, no matter what the price was, he never blinked an eye.
Even Mrs. Li couldn't stop him, he just racked his brains to treat her meticulously.
Even, in order not to embarrass her, he got up early and went to bed late, and studied harder. Anyone who mentions him now can't help but praise him, he is a rare good man in this world. When it comes to Luo Yi, everyone is jealous, thinking that she is lucky to marry such a good man.
Luo Yi was never moved by this, not once, not even for a moment.
Every time she sees him smiling gently at her, she always feels chills in her heart. She didn't believe that a person could really change his nature and become completely different. She always remembered that on the day when she became Hu Erniu, he stood under the dim light and walked towards her with murderous eyes. Just because she broke him and Mrs. Li's filth, he had a murderous intent on her.
A person's appearance can change a lot, but his heart will not change. Just like Luo Yi, everyone said that after she married Zhou Zirong, she learned how to make rouge, opened a shop, and became capable because of Zhou Zirong's glory. But they didn't know that she was not Hu Erniu at all.
"Miss?" A hand waved in front of her eyes, "Why don't you talk? Are you overjoyed?"
Luo Yi came back to his senses and looked at the young man in front of him. He looked completely different from before, as if that childish, proud, and cruel boy had nothing to do with him. But Luo Yi knew that they were the same person.
"Yes, I'm so happy." Luo Yi smiled, "I'll go with you."
The two packed their bags and prepared to rush to the provincial capital.
Li Shi was very worried, she had never been so far away from Zhou Zirong for so long, she said to him again and again: "Brother Rong, don't take her, what are you taking her for, she won't take care of you, Maybe it will drag you down, why don't you take me there?"??Zhou Zirong took a look.
After not seeing each other for two years, Zhou Zirong changed so much that even Wang Dalin was surprised. However, he looked at Zhou Zirong with unfriendly eyes, he is a little boy, and he asked his sister to accompany him even if he took the provincial examination.
But then he became happy again, because he was going to the provincial capital too!
"Let's go together?" Wang Dalin said with a smile, "I'm going to the provincial capital to visit my eldest sister. She gave birth to a son again. Grandma has prepared a lot of things and asked me to send them to her."
Luo Yi thought for a while, and there was no need to refuse, so he agreed: "Okay!"
The two got into Wang Dalin's carriage and went to the provincial capital together.
Wang Dalin is a talker, and he didn't tell Luo Yi what he had saved for more than two years, and he only listened to him along the way, and there was no time to stop. But what he said was interesting, Luo Yi was very interested in hearing it, so he chatted back and forth with him.
Zhou Zirong couldn't get in the conversation, so he sat quietly beside him, handing Luo Yi water from time to time, and peeling melon seeds and peanuts for her to eat.
Wang Dalin didn't take him seriously at first, but every time he talked about being excited, Zhou Zirong would come up with such a trick, which made him feel like he was being fed shit.
This kid is not as good as he looks on the surface, Wang Dalin thought, he is clearly a bad embryo. It's a pity that the girl married him, so I don't know if she will be deceived by his appearance?
He was worried about Luo Yi at one moment, and angry with Zhou Zirong at another, and often the words would be broken while he was talking, which made the atmosphere awkward.
Every time this time comes, Zhou Zirong will make a sound to make a rescue: "Is the lady tired? Shall I help you squeeze your shoulders?"
"My lady, there is a place that I don't know well, please help me to read it, am I right?"
"Is the lady tired? Can you sleep on my shoulder for a while?"
Every time he heard Zhou Zirong speak in such a soft voice, Wang Dalin had the urge to kill him.
Just in this calm atmosphere with turbulent undercurrents underneath, the provincial capital arrived.
Wang Dalin was going to visit the eldest sister who had just given birth, and had to say goodbye to Luo Yi, but before he left, he wrote down the name of the inn where Luo Yi lived, and said that he would come to play with her when he was free.
But after he left, Zhou Zirong said: "There are too many people in this inn, which affects my study. Let's change to another one."
Luo Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
Zhou Zirong took the exam for three days.
During these three days, Luo Yi wandered around the city. She went to the original inn and left a letter on the counter, if Wang Dalin wanted to play with her, he would definitely find her.
But she didn't know that Zhou Zirong had told the boy in advance, telling him not to disclose information about him and Luo Yi to others.
He said this: "I used to be careless in making friends, and I met a friend who was even more disgusting. When he saw my wife's beauty, he became coveted. Later, I broke up with him, but he still didn't give up and chased me. Come here with my wife."
He said to the boy: "You must not leak information about me and my wife."
He also described Wang Dalin's appearance, and successfully won the sympathy of the young man by describing his evil deeds.
Therefore, when Luo Yi left a note on the counter, the boy gave her a different look. I thought to myself, that handsome son is really unlucky, not only is his friend coveting his wife, but his wife is also not at ease in the room!
This bit of sympathy and righteous indignation made him keep his mouth shut. No matter how Wang Dalin asked after he came, he didn't utter a single word.
It's just that Wang Dalin was born too fierce, he doesn't look like a good person, but he couldn't use the means that a real bad person would, so Luo Yi disappeared.
But he was not stupid. On the day when the provincial examination ended, he stood guard at the gate of the Gongyuan early in the day, waiting for Zhou Zirong to come out.
Don't want him to see Luo Yi? Pooh!
