The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

But he is more stubborn than anyone else. Once he makes up his mind, no one can change it.

Zhao Lishui had to think of other ideas.

Her eyes rolled around twice, and then she thought of what Wang Zhuzi had said to her today.

Wang Wuhua suddenly came up with an idea for a little trick he could use to get on the bus.

Then she hit her waist and started to cry out in pain.

As expected, the two of them gathered around nervously, looked at Zhao Lishui with concern and asked:

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?

Is your back hurting?"

Zhou Xi also quickly placed a stool at Zhao Lishui's feet.

Then he held Zhao Lishui's arm and asked her to slowly sit on the stool.

Zhao Lishui sat down on the stool, but still held her waist with one hand.

He let out a long sigh and then said, “Oh, don’t mention it.

Goudan came back today and I was busy all the time.

I've been working in the kitchen since this morning and there's still a lot of work to be done.

My waist is an old problem. It hurts whenever I do any work.

But there is no way, my family is waiting for me to cook and eat.

Ugh......

It’s all my fault that I’m old and in poor health, and there’s no one around to help me.

They are all waiting to be eaten..."

After hearing these words, Qian Guixiang was so distressed that she almost cried.

While rubbing Zhao Lishui's waist, he said:

"Auntie, don't worry.

You don’t look old at all. Your uncles and the others are really something. How come they don’t feel sorry for you at all?

Let you do so much work yourself.

I'll go back with you later, you can take a rest and I'll help you.

Goudan and the others are really going too far..."

Zhao Lishui looked at Qian Guixiang, the little girl who originally didn't even dare to speak loudly, who was standing up for her.

Because he felt sorry for himself, he said so many words at once, and even his cheeks were slightly puffed up with anger.

Zhao Lishui felt a little uncomfortable with Qian Guixiang's caring words.

Thinking of the three people who were busy cooking, washing vegetables and chopping firewood in the kitchen at home, I even felt a little guilty.

“Hehehe…

Yeah, that's too much.

Hahaha..."

Zhao Lishui laughed dryly and echoed Qian Guixiang's words.

But no matter how you listen to his voice, it sounds like he is lacking in energy and a little guilty.

Fortunately, Qian Guixiang and Zhou Xi, who were filled with worry and anger, did not notice it.

I'm still worried about Zhao Lishui's health.

As Qian Guixiang spoke, she kept rubbing Zhao Lishui's waist.

Zhao Lishui looked at the two people's sincere expressions and was at a loss for words.

I really can't bear to deceive two girls who care so much about me.

So he quickly stood up and said anxiously:

"It's getting late, let's go quickly.

I still have a lot of work to do.

I'm sorry to trouble Xiangxiang and Xier this time."

After hearing what Zhao Lishui said, Zhou Xi tugged at his clothes nervously.

She thought that as long as Qian Guixiang went to help, she didn't expect Zhao Lishui to ask her to go.

Zhou Xi's look doesn't mean that he doesn't want to help Zhao Lishui.

It’s just because of the environment he grew up in that Zhou Xi is very afraid of contacting strangers.

Zhou Xi felt like he couldn't breathe when standing in the crowd.

It made her heart pound and she became stuttering and unable to speak.

After marrying Qian Laitou, things have gotten much better and I'm not as scared as before.

At least I can now remain calm when facing Zhao Lishui, Qian Guixiang and a few familiar neighbors around me.

But it was limited to these few people during the time when Qian Lai Tou was away.

Zhou Xi wanted to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

I also try to reduce the number of times I go out. Even when I really have to go out, I will find an aunt or sister-in-law to accompany me.

Zhou Xi thought that when he went to Wang's house later, there would definitely be a lot of people there.

When she thought about so many people at Wang's house, she hesitated and didn't want to go over.

Zhao Lishui also noticed Zhou Xi's hesitation, not to mention that almost all of Zhou Xi's thoughts were on his face.

But it was impossible for Zhou Xi not to go, and Zhao Lishui came just to take the two people over.

So he covered his waist and said to Qian Guixiang aggrievedly:

"It's okay, Xiangxiang, let's go.

It’s just a big table of food. We can finish it by working until midnight.

Alas, my old waist is going to suffer.

But it’s okay, at worst I can just put some plaster on it at night and stay in bed for a few days.”

After saying that, he asked Qian Guixiang to help him walk out.

His eyes were secretly glancing at Zhou Xi, watching Zhou Xi's reaction.

Zhou Xi became even more confused after hearing what Zhao Lishui said.

On the one hand, I was really afraid to see so many people, but on the other hand, I was worried about Zhao Lishui's health.

Hearing Zhao Lishui's serious words, Zhou Xi's tangled brows were furrowed together.

Biting my finger, I began to consider whether I should go over or not.

In the end, her concern for Zhao Lishui suppressed her fear of crowds, and she caught up with Zhao Lishui and Qian Guixiang.

He reached out and held Zhao Lishui's other arm, and the three of them went to Wang's house together.

Even on the road, Qian Guixiang never stopped talking.

He kept muttering quickly and quietly, "This is too much, it's really too much.

How can I order them around by myself? Don’t they have hands?

Since they don't know how to work, I let my aunt do it herself.

Auntie, don't be anxious.

When I get to your house, I will definitely ask Uncle Zhuzi about it.

Ask him why he bullies you like this.

When the time comes, just sit still and your sister-in-law and I will help you with the work.

When I see Uncle Zhuzi and Goudan, I will definitely ask them some questions.

Just ask them why…”

After Qian Guixiang heard what Zhao Lishui said at her home, tears welled up in her eyes.

If you don’t know, you might think it was Qian Guixiang who suffered some injustice.

He didn't stop talking all the way, and kept comforting Zhao Lishui while scolding Wang Zhuzi and Wang Wuhua.

Although Zhou Xi didn't say anything, she nodded in agreement whenever Qian Guixiang said something.

He firmly stated his position and spoke out for Zhao Lishui.

As for Zhao Lishui, she could only smile guiltily aside.

I didn't dare to speak at all, otherwise I would be exposed as soon as I spoke.

He turned his gaze to Qian Guixiang, looking at the little girl with eyes full of love.

Zhao Lishui didn't realize that she was just making up an excuse.

Qian Guixiang and Zhou Xi believed it without asking, and they looked very sorry for themselves.

Stand up for yourself.

Even Qian Guixiang, a little girl who was half raised by him, was like a little chick since she was young.

It's like a person who has no temper can actually be so angry.

I am a person who has never had a quarrel with anyone or said a harsh word to anyone in my entire life.

Because I was so angry that I even went to argue with others.
