"Zhou, what do you mean?"
"I know what I mean. How is my relationship with Aa Ning? Are you, an outsider, qualified to speak?"
This should be the first time in Quan Fei's life that he was angered. How dare this man speak to him like that?
Previously, due to his feelings for Lee Wanning, Quan Fei could choose to ignore whatever she did to him. However, Zhou Qu was different now. Who was Zhou Qu?
He was his love rival!
He actually dared to talk to me like that!
Quan Fei's anger rose up. He gritted his teeth as he looked at the man in front of him and said, "I don't have the qualifications? Then you, a good-for-nothing, would be qualified? Without Lee Wanning, do you think you can work in the county magistrate's mansion? "
Zhou Qu sneered and stepped forward. Before, Quan Fei didn't feel that way, but when Zhou Qu stood in front of him, Quan Fei suddenly felt the aura from this man …
"Maybe I'm not qualified, but if it wasn't for your father, what would you be like today?"
Quan Fei was dumbstruck. Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Qu had already walked past him. The cold look in his eyes made Wu Tie shiver.
Zhou Qu returned home. Lee Wanning was busy working in the shop. In just a few months, she had become familiar with the people around her and they were all talking about Lee Wanning's stomach.
"Aunt Zhou, is the girl inside your stomach a boy or a girl?"
Lee Wanning smiled and said, "I don't know. There's no B-mode. How do you know?"
"B-mode? What's a B-mode ultrasound? "
"It's nothing. I was just casually saying that it's good to have a boy and have a girl." Lee Wanning said and saw Zhou Qu walk in immediately. She stepped forward and said, "How is it? Did she make a fuss? "
Zhou Qu shook his head and took the thing in her hand. He said, "Let me do it."
Those people looked at her with envy in their eyes and said, "Sister Zhou, your husband treats you so well. Previously, I told my husband that they couldn't let go of their face, but in truth, we all like it."
Zhou Qu kept his head down as he organized his stuff. Lee Wanning could feel the change in his mood, so she said, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that it's not convenient for me to get pregnant now."
Soon, they started talking again. Lee Wanning casually said a few words and sent them away, then walked to Zhou Qu's side.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Qu shook his head, "I'm fine!"
Lee Wanning snorted and said, "I can clearly see what you're thinking. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. But if you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me, okay?"
Zhou Qu was silent. Just as Lee Wanning was about to turn around and leave, Zhou Qu's voice came from behind, "Aa Ning."
Lee Wanning turned around and saw Zhou Qu looking at her. "Can we go back now?"
Lee Wanning could not react in time. "Go back where?"
In her heart, this place had already become her home, so when Zhou Qu said that, she actually didn't expect that it would be that village.
Zhou Qu smiled and shook his head. "No."
Lee Wanning frowned. Zhou Qu had already walked to her side and said, "Have a good rest. I've applied for leave today. Let me watch."
Lee Wanning felt that Zhou Qu was hiding something from her, but she didn't know why. She could only turn around and look at him.
Zhou Qu was looking down at his hands.
Lee Wanning shook her head, and attributed everything to Tan Cui Huan. Now that she had left, the whole house, what was it? It should have quieted down by now, right?
However, Lee Wanning was still unable to predict how things would turn out.
A few days later, at midnight, Lee Wanning was awakened by a knock on the door. When she opened her eyes, Zhou Qu had already left the room.
"Who is it?"
"Big Brother Zhou!"
Hearing Tan Cuihuan's wailing voice, Lee Wanning felt a chill in her heart, following which, Zhou Qu had already opened the door.
Tan Cui Huan was miserably kneeling at the door and said, "Big Brother Zhou, I know that I can no longer come and disturb your life with your sister, but … "I really don't have any other choice, Big Brother Zhou. Right now, everyone in the village is pointing at me and saying that you don't want me, but my mother refused to let me in after closing the door. She said that she wants me dead outside and I haven't eaten for the whole day. Big Brother Zhou, I beg of you …"
Lee Wanning stood behind Zhou Qu. She looked at Zhou Qu and said, "Then come in first!"
It could be seen that Tan Cui Huan was really hungry. The moment Lee Wanning served the food on the table, she started to eat with all her might. On her hand, there were a lot of bruises and bloodstains.
Lee Wanning immediately frowned.
Zhou Qu looked at himself and said, "But Cui Huan, if you are really going to stay with me, then it's not …"
"Big Brother Zhou!" Tan Cui acted as if she was going to kneel down again and said, "I really have no other choice, if you don't take me in, then I can only go to the brothel. Big Brother Zhou, we grew up together, did you have the heart to look at me …"
Tan Cui's face was covered in tears, Zhou Qu looked towards Lee Wanning.
She suddenly laughed and said, "Tan Cui Huan, aren't you tired of acting like this?"
Tan Cuihuan froze for a moment, Lee Wanning looked outside and said, "Is it raining outside?" How come you're not wet at all? You've been here for the past two days, haven't you? Otherwise, if it s raining outside and you walk all the way from the Guxi Village, why don't you find even the slightest bit of dirt on your shoes? "
Lee Wanning's voice was very slow, but Tan Cui Huan's face was turning increasingly pale. She whispered, "I … "I've already been out for a few days, but I don't dare to come find you. I can only stand at the doorstep of the nearby people …"
"Which family?"
"Aa Ning." Zhou Qu's words instantly repressed Lee Wanning's aggressive attitude.
Lee Wanning looked at Zhou Qu calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Jade Ring her …"
"It's quite pitiful, isn't it?" Lee Wanning said softly, she turned to look at Tan Cui Huan and said, "Okay, you said to stay, then what happens next? You're not young, are you? Could it be that you want us to be responsible for you for your entire life? "
Hearing Lee Wanning's words, Tan Cui Huan looked towards Zhou Qu.
Lee Wanning suppressed the unease in her heart and said, "What? Do you want him to take you in as his concubine?"
"Aa Ning, let her settle down first!" Zhou Qu said.
Lee Wanning nodded and said, "Sure, you can settle down if you want her to. I don't care. It's getting late, so I'm going to bed."
Then, Lee Wanning went straight up the stairs. Zhou Qu quickly caught up and said, "Aa Ning."
Lee Wanning pulled his hand away and said, "It's okay, you want her to stay here for a long time, it's your business to want her to be your concubine. I don't care, but Zhou Qu, I'm very disappointed in you."
Previously, Lee Wanning had always felt that Zhou Qu was the best person for her. He always gave the best thing to her. Even though he didn't have the ability, he always gave her the best thing.
But now, their lives had gotten better step by step. They could buy a lot of things they wanted, but a crack had appeared in the relationship between her and Zhou Qu.
Lee Wanning tried her best to repair it, but during the process, she found that Zhou Qu wasn't holding nothing back. And now, there was a Tan Cui Huan in this crevice.
Lee Wanning pulled Zhou Qu's arm away from her and turned her back to him. When she opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness.
It suddenly occurred to her that she might have been wrong.
In this era where both men and women were inferior to each other, even though Zhou Qu could ignore the gazes of others, it was hard not to notice when there were more and more eyes on him and gossip started flying all over the place.
Lee Wanning did not know what to do. She wanted to pull Zhou Qu tighter, but such a method did not seem to be of much use.
When Lee Wanning woke up, she saw that Tan Cui Huan had already packed everything up, just like when she was living here.
Lee Wanning slowly sat down beside the table. Zhou Qu also came down after having a sip of the porridge.
Lee Wanning was about to put down the bowl when Zhou Qu said, "I'm not eating. I'm leaving."
Lee Wanning's movements froze on the spot. She saw him leave her line of sight like this, not even eating. Was it because he felt that once he sat down, Lee Wanning would directly leave?
Lee Wanning lowered her head and Tan Cuihuan said softly, "Sorry elder sister, I was the one who made you and Big Brother Zhou …"
"If you know, why stay here?"
Lee Wanning's bluntness caused Tan Cui Huan to be stunned. She stared at the person in front of her with her mouth agape, as if she was afraid that Lee Wanning would not understand, and then repeated, "They have already left, why did they come back? Do you want money? "
Previously, in the modern era, Lee Wanning had seen people who used money to smash people. However, she had never thought that she would become such a person one day.
Tan Cui Huan lowered her head and thought for a long time before slowly saying, "It's because I like Big Brother Zhou. Before you came, Big Brother Zhou and I already had more than a decade of relationship. Do you think you can replace me?"
Lee Wanning burst into laughter. She felt that the woman before her was laughable.
"And then? If it were not for the Zhou Family becoming like this, would you be willing to be by Zhou Qu's side? "
