Wang Hu held Zhao Xiulian with one hand and tightly wrapped the other around her hand, allowing her to lean on him.
"Thank you, Hu'zi."
Gu Dacheng had not consoled himself like this in a long time. Zhao Xiulian's words of thanks were sincere.
Zhao Xiulian looked up at Wang Hu. Her hair was a bit messy, and her eyes were misty with tears. Looking at her made people want to pity her.
Wang Hu silently looked at Zhao Xiulian. The strength in his hands was slightly increased. He really didn't know how those soft, boneless hands could lift bucket after bucket of cold water.
Zhao Xiulian's slim waist was in Wang Hu's other hand. The perfect touch forced Wang Hu to reach in to feel Zhao Xiulian's delicate skin.
"Hu Zi, you, what are you doing?"
When Wang Hu's palm brushed against Zhao Xiulian's waist, Zhao Xiulian trembled in fear and hurriedly pushed Wang Hu away.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't do it on purpose."
Wang Hu immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at her expression again.
"It's getting late, Hu Zi. Go back."
Zhao Xiulian stood up to tidy up her hair and wiped her face.
"Sister-in-law, you."
How could Wang Hu be at ease with Zhao Xiulian's current condition? He did not dare to mention the matter of her cheating, fearing that she would do something stupid.
"Sister-in-law is fine."
Zhao Xiulian's eyes were bloodshot. Wang Hu could not help but feel sorry for her. However, Zhao Xiulian was adamant that he wanted to accompany her again.
Wang Hu had no choice but to return home. He thought about coming back to see Zhao Xiulian tomorrow.
The next morning, Wang Hu arrived at the Gu household with worry. He saw Zhao Xiulian happily setting the dishes and chopsticks. She was humming a tune from time to time, no longer having the same worry she had last night.
Wang Hu thought that Zhao Xiulian had come to a conclusion on her own. He was happy for her.
"Sister-in-law, what is there to be so happy about?"
Wang Hu strode into the courtyard and threw a small dish into his mouth.
"Hu Zi came. Yesterday, your Big Brother Da Cheng called me to apologize and said that he would be back tonight."
Zhao Xiulian was overjoyed. Gu Dacheng had long missed his sweet words on the phone, which made Zhao Xiulian extremely happy. Gu Dacheng was returning after leaving for two days, which was a rare occurrence.
"Ah, Big Brother Dacheng is coming back."
So the reason why she was so happy was because Gu Dacheng was coming back. The side dish in Wang Hu's mouth instantly disappeared, confirming his thoughts. As expected, Zhao Xiulian had no idea.
"Hu Zi, come over and drink with your brother tonight."
Zhao Xioulan had already started preparing the dinner long ago, and Wang Hu felt even more upset as he looked at her.
"Ah, alright. Then I'll go back first."
Wang Hu obviously wanted to see Zhao Xiulian, but he did not want to see Gu Dacheng.
Without waiting for Zhao Xioulan's reply, Wang Hu had already disappeared.
Wang Hu was sitting on the brick bed, feeling frustrated. He was hesitating whether he should go to the Gu family for dinner. He didn't want to see the two of them talking to each other in front of him.
But on second thought, perhaps he should go and talk to Gu Dacheng. What if he came back with some ulterior motives? What if he was harming Zhao Xiulian?
Time slowly passed, and soon, the sky darkened. Wang Hu was worried that Gu Dacheng would trick Zhao Xiulian again. He got up and walked towards the Gu family.
However, what Wang Hu did not expect was that when he entered the yard, he did not see Gu Dacheng. He only saw a table full of sumptuous dishes and Zhao Xiulian pouring herself a cup of wine.
"Sister-in-law, where's Big Brother Dacheng? Why are you drinking so much?"
Wang Hu walked to Zhao Xiulian's side and found that she was already drunk. The white wine beside her was almost half gone.
"Hu Zi, you're here, Gu Dacheng. That bastard Gu Dacheng is not coming back today."
Zhao Xiulian walked into the room with the bottle in her hand.
As soon as she sat down on the brick bed, Zhao Xiulian hugged the bottle and began to cry.
"Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Wang Hu did not expect that in a mere afternoon, things would turn out like this. Zhao Xiuran's tears almost flowed into Wang Hu's heart. The alcohol made Zhao Xiulian's face turn crimson as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Could it be that Gu Dacheng had revealed his cards to Zhao Xiulian? However, when he thought about it, Gu Dacheng had always been scheming against his own wife, so how could he explain things so easily?
Or could it be that Zhao Xiulian had discovered something fishy? Why would she be so upset? Wang Hu sat down next to her.
Zhao Xioulan threw herself into Wang Hu's arms with the bottle in hand, catching him off guard.
"Sister-in-law, what happened?"
A soft fragrance wafted over Wang Hu's body. Zhao Xiulian's soft hair brushed lightly against Wang Hu's cheeks. With just a glance, one could see the magnificent pair of peaks through Zhao Xiulian's collar, causing Wang Hu's heart to beat faster.
However, Zhao Xiulian was still crying, forcing Wang Hu to think back to reality.
"Do you think sister-in-law is getting old? She's not looking good anymore."
Zhao Xiulian was still lying in Wang Hu's arms. The aroma of alcohol was still lingering in the air, but it was hard to hide the fragrance she was giving off.
"How could that be? If you can be considered old, then those women in the village are all old women in their seventies or eighties."
Wang Hu repeatedly comforted Zhao Xiulian. Perhaps Gu Dacheng had confessed and said something about Zhao Xiulian being inferior to Liu Ting. That was why Zhao Xiulian was convinced that he did not have the slightest bit of charisma.
"Then why isn't your Big Brother Cheng back? What's so good about my old face?"
He had wanted to ask Gu Dacheng what time he would be home, but he didn't expect Gu Dacheng to suddenly say that he wouldn't be able to come back. Zhao Xiulian was overjoyed.
