Qiao Huien didn't doubt that he was there. He had a low line of defense against Qiao An, and when he heard Qiao An say that he knew everything, he sighed: "It can't be said to be a repayment, but..."

It may be due to illness, Qiao Huien recalled the events of that year, and always felt that the memory seemed to be clouded, hazy, not very clear.

For so many years, at Zhang Shuya's request, he had never mentioned or thought about Li Shi's matter, and now he suddenly wanted to dig out the memories from his mind, and Qiao Huien didn't know where to start.

"I stayed in the hospital for a long time at that time, and you should know that Lao Zhang has always been taking care of me."

"How long have you lived here?" Qiao An asked intentionally, although he was clear in his heart.

Qiao Huien recalled for a moment: "It should be... more than a year but less than two years."

"It's been so long...Actually, I'm curious, why was Zhang Shuya taking care of you at that time? She must have been an employee of the Li family at that time, so she could go out of the Li family so casually and take care of you for a year or two?"

"Employee... Indeed, she was Mrs. Li's personal maid at the time."

Qiao Huien didn't know how to address Mrs. Li for a while, so she followed Qiao An's address: "I think this may be the arrangement of Mrs. Li."

Mrs. Li likes herself, and Qiao Huien knows that, but he can't accept Li Shi's overly tough approach, and before he can figure out the future between himself and Mrs. Li, he gets sick.

Mrs. Li never came to visit him once.

Qiao Huien also knew in her heart that something must have happened in Li Shili.

Mrs. Li must be thinking of him in her heart, otherwise she would not have sent Zhang Shuya to take care of her all the time, and would have given him letters from time to time.

It's just that within two months, there was no more word from Mrs. Li.

The only one left is Zhang Shuya, who has been taking care of him for nearly two years: "If there was no Lao Zhang at that time, I might have died in the hospital."

Joan heard it, and felt very disapproving.

It is true that Qiao Huien was poisoned because of Mrs. Li, the Li family did not allow her to marry Qiao Huien, so they wanted to poison him to death.

But if it wasn't for Zhang Shuya's tampering, Qiao Huien's poison would only be cured faster without leaving any sequelae.

It can be said that the main reason why Qiao Huien lay in the hospital for more than a year was Zhang Shuya.

Originally, Mrs. Li had already exchanged the freedom of marriage for him with an antidote that would not leave any sequelae.

It's not that Qiao An doesn't want to tell Qiao Huien about this, it's just that people have a fixed thinking limit, and now is not a good time to talk about it.

After making Qiao Huien even more disappointed with Zhang Shuya.

She knew Qiao Hui'en, he valued feelings and responsibilities, and at the same time had a kind of stubborn persistence.

Just like he couldn't approve of Zhang Shuya's behavior, so he moved out of the house and refused to divorce Zhang Shuya.

Unable to accept his son's second unbearable marriage, he chose to ignore Yin Yin, mother and son, and not give them any affection.

And compare his attitude towards Qiao An... Qiao An suddenly felt that Qiao Huien and Mrs. Li were really similar in some ways.

In Qiao Huien's heart, he thought that Zhang Shuya saved him and took care of him for more than a year, and he was willing to repay this kindness with his whole life. Qiao An's telling the truth at this time would definitely arouse Qiao Huien's refutation. Personality has nothing to do, it is the instinct of human self-protection.

She had to wait her time.

Qiao Huien didn't know what was going on in his granddaughter's mind, he was still saying, "But marriage is not just for repaying kindness..."

"Then what else?" Joan was taken aback, "Do you really love her?"

Impossible, she can't feel it.

The atmosphere when Qiao Huien and Zhang Shuya get along, unless they are blind, anyone can see that it has nothing to do with the word love.

At most, it is a little affectionate.

Qiao Huien couldn't help being asked so bluntly by Qiao An, but he was also unwilling to lie to Qiao An and himself: "It's true that it can't be called love...how should I put it..."

Seeing his hesitation, Qiao An was not in a hurry, got up and re-boiled a pot of tea, and poured it for Qiao Huien. Qiao Huien took a few sips of tea and collected himself: "There is indeed some other reason."

"At that time, I originally planned to give her money, and it was not vulgar. With money, I will live better in this society after all."

Joan nodded. People like them never felt that giving money was vulgar.

The economic base determines the superstructure. Only with money can we consider more life.

The amount that Qiao Huien wanted to give at that time was the lifetime income of several families, or even a village.

Although there is a coal mine in Zhang Shuya's family, Zhang's father is very harsh on his daughters. He said that Zhang Shuya has never had a new dress since she was a child. All the clothes are left by her sisters. , is left over from mother and grandma.Her first new dress that was entirely her own was actually given by Li Shi. Every year and festival, Li Shi would make a new set of clothes for the servants who signed the death contract.

Although the material is not very good, the appearance is similar.

Therefore, the amount that Qiao Huien promised to Zhang Shuya at that time could completely change her life and make her live a carefree life in the future.

"She didn't want it? Why?"

Qiao Huien sighed: "It's also because I didn't think carefully at the time. I only thought about living with money, but I didn't consider whether her family can let her live well."

"Oh, I see." Qiao An also remembered, "The situation of the Zhang family... indeed."

"If she doesn't go back to Zhang's house, where can she go, Li Shi? Impossible."

Li's is not a place where people can come in and out casually, and Mrs. Li's exemption from her death contract is already a great care.

Is Zhang Shuya a woman living in that world with a huge amount of money?
At that time, it was not the peaceful and prosperous world like it is now.

"What did she say?"

"She's also worried like this," Qiao Huien said, "She said she couldn't go back home, if she went back with the money, within a second, the money would no longer be hers, and after she went back, I'm afraid The family has to tidy up, marry her in name, but actually sell her."

"..."

"Do you know how she signed a death contract with the Li family? It was because the family wanted to sell her to a local gentry as a concubine, but she didn't want to, so she escaped and crashed into Mrs. Li's car."

It was Madam Li who was kind-hearted, and when she heard about her, she thought it would be good to hire an extra maid, just to save someone's life, so she asked her to sign a death contract to protect her with the power of the Li family.

This trick really worked, whether it was the Zhang family or the squire, when they heard that Zhang Shuya had become Mrs. Li's maid, they could only go back limply like a frost-beaten eggplant.

At the beginning, the Zhang family wanted to blackmail Zhang Shuya by relying on this relationship, but after experiencing Li Shi's iron-blooded skills, they obediently put their minds aside and went back to their hometown to mine.
