Wang Hu nonchalantly replied. Gu Dacheng didn't even care about Zhao Xiulian's life.
After sending Zhao Xiulian to the door, Wang Hu looked at the autumn clothes that Zhao Xiulian had washed for Gu Dacheng in the courtyard. The moment Zhao Xiulian entered the courtyard, she began to collect the clothes.
Wang Hu sighed and turned to leave. However, he heard Zhao Xiulian's phone ring. It was Gu Dacheng's phone. Wang Hu couldn't hear what Gu Dacheng was saying, but he could hear Zhao Xiulian telling the phone that her family really had no money.
Zhao Xiulian hung up with reddened eyes.
"Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Wang Hu walked up to Zhao Xiulian. Gu Dacheng was spending all his time outside, yet he actually wanted Zhao Xiulian to come out. Wang Hu was so infuriated that he clenched his fists tightly.
Zhao Xiulian turned around and entered the house. With a final step, she handed the money to Wang Hu, who would help her deliver it to the city tomorrow.
Wang Hu didn't know why Zhao Xiulian was still so confused. If Gu Dacheng asked for the money, he would give it to her. What would she do in the future?
"Sister-in-law, you can't give this money to him. He's not being decent outside, so he might not be doing anything with the money."
Wang Hu pushed the money back and said what he was really worried about.
"What?" "Hu Zi, what do you know?"
It wasn't that Zhao Xiulian didn't suspect Gu Dacheng at all. It was just that she didn't have any evidence and didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
Wang Hu saw that the conversation had come to this, so he decided to spill the beans on Gu Dacheng and Zhao Xioulan's family.
Zhao Xiulian was stunned. She did not say anything else. She turned around and went back into the room. Leaning over, she sat down on a chair.
"Sister-in-law."
Wang Hu chased after her as he called out to her in a low voice.
Gu Dacheng's treachery was like a flood that completely destroyed the wall in Zhao Xiulian's heart.
Just as Wang Hu placed his hand on Zhao Xiulian's back, she turned around and wrapped her arms around Wang Hu's waist, and started to sob.
Wang Hu stared in shock, but didn't say anything. He simply allowed Zhao Xiulian to hold him like that.
After a long moment, Zhao Xiulian's crying finally died down.
Wang Hu's waist had already been drenched by Zhao Xiulian's tears.
"Hu Zi, do you think it's because sister-in-law is old?"
As Zhao Xioulan spoke, she released Wang Hu with a dejected look in her eyes.
"Who said it? Sister-in-law, you are the most beautiful person in my heart."
Looking at how Wang Hu was staring at her, Zhao Xioulan felt a little uncomfortable and turned her body away.
"Let's not think about that bastard, sister-in-law."
Seeing that Zhao Xiulian had stopped talking, Wang Hu grabbed her hand. Feeling the coolness in his hand, Wang Hu wanted to keep it in his hand forever.
Wang Hu's palm was firm and powerful. It felt warm and warm. In her moment of despair, Zhao Xiulian felt like she was relying on something.
Regardless of how many things had happened in this family, it was all thanks to Wang Hu's help. Zhao Xiulian did not have such a difficult time.
As she thought of this, Zhao Xioulan took Wang Hu's hand and thanked him.
When Wang Hu returned home, it was already late at night.
Wang Hu did not sleep soundly. He was worried about Zhao Xioulan. He had wanted to stay with her the whole day, but it was not good for a man to be alone with his wife. Only then did he return home.
A thunderclap completely woke Wang Hu up. Looking at the time, it was already 9 in the morning. It was raining heavily outside the window.
The Gu family was not well-built. Every time it rained outside, it rained lightly inside the house. The rain had not been repaired even a few times.
As he thought of this, Wang Hu quickly put on his clothes, grabbed an umbrella and went to Zhao Xioulan's home.
When he arrived at Zhao Xiulian's courtyard, she was pouring water into a basin by the open door.
"Hu Zi, it's raining so heavily, why are you here?"
Zhao Xioulan raised her head and saw Wang Hu standing in her yard with an umbrella. Although he was holding onto an umbrella, Wang Hu's body was still half soaked.
Wang Hu did not reply. Instead, he threw away the umbrella and took the ladder to the roof.
Zhao Xiulian was going to send Wang Hu a rain poncho, but Wang Hu said he didn't want it. The rain helped Zhao Xiulian roughly fix the roof.
It was no longer raining inside the house. Zhao Xiulian's heart ached as she looked at how wet Wang Hu was.
"Hu Zi, take off your clothes and go warm on the brick bed."
The autumn weather was cold, and the autumn rain was bone-chilling. Wang Hu had been soaked in the rain for a long time, so he must have been frozen to death.
With everything settled, Wang Hu began to feel cold and somewhat shivering. He no longer dared to be polite and stripped naked as he crawled into bed.
Zhao Xioulan went to make Jiang Tang for Wang Hu. When she brought him to Wang Hu's side, she saw that he was still trembling violently from the cold words that came out of his mouth.
"Sister-in-law, it's cold."
Wang Hu didn't think that he would be in such a sorry state after being doused in it for a long time.
Zhao Xiulian patted Wang Hu's head but her hands were cold. Seeing Wang Hu's current state, Zhao Xiulian did not care much. She took off her coat and went to Wang Hu's bed, hugging him tightly.
"Sister-in-law, you."
Wang Hu was startled.
"Are you feeling better?"
Zhao Xiulian warmed Wang Hu with her body, making him feel better.
Gradually, Wang Hu was no longer trembling.
Embracing Zhao Xiulian, Wang Hu could smell a faint fragrance emanating from her body. At first, his hands were stiff, but gradually, he also started to embrace Zhao Xiulian.
