"Are you saying you are my sister's son?" Sun Qiuhua squinted at him and asked.
"Yes," Zhao Xiaosong replied with a slight smile.
"How is that possible? My sister couldn't possibly have a son your age," Sun Qiuhua scoffed.
"By generation, I naturally should call you 'Auntie,'" Zhao Xiaosong teased.
"I'll say it again, I don't know any Zhao Family," Sun Qiuhua said with a cold expression.
"Auntie, why are you being so stubborn?" Zhao Xiaosong sighed.
"Who is your auntie?" Sun Qiuhua snorted.
"My mother misses you very much," Zhao Xiaosong said lightly.
"Hmph, don't try to get close to me," Sun Qiuhua said disdainfully.
"Auntie, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it; after all, I know your daughter now has the surname Li," Zhao Xiaosong said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiuhua's face turned pale instantly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want?"
"I just want to catch up with my auntie," Zhao Xiaosong shrugged and said.
Sun Qiuhua stared at him, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
"Auntie, please," Zhao Xiaosong gestured invitingly.
Sun Qiuhua hesitated for a moment and then walked forward.
Zhao Xiaosong smiled slightly and followed her.
The driver and the villagers quickly followed as well.
Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai happened to arrive at that moment; they were stunned to see the village chief and other villagers gathered there.
"Grandpa Village Chief, what happened?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Oh, a young master from the capital has come to find Sun Qiuhua," the village chief explained.
"A young master from the capital?" Zhang Xiaoxiao feigned surprise.
"Yes, his name is Zhao Xiaosong," the village chief nodded.
Zhang Xiaoxiao's heart jolted; it was indeed him, the male lead had arrived.
"What does he want with Sun Qiuhua?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"They are relatives," the village chief replied.
"Relatives? Didn't Sun Qiuhua come here fleeing from a disaster?" Zhao Guangcai asked in confusion.
"Sigh, it's a long story," the village chief sighed and said.
"Grandpa Village Chief, what does that young master look like?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"He is quite handsome and dresses very well," the village chief said with a smile.
"Oh," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Let's hurry over and take a look," the village chief urged.
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded again.
Thus, the village chief and Zhao Guangcai hurried ahead.
"Guangcai, let's go see too," Zhang Xiaoxiao tugged at Zhao Guangcai's sleeve and said.
"Okay," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
The two held hands and walked slowly.
"Xiaoxiao, you seem quite interested in the Li Family Daughter," Zhao Guangcai suddenly said.
"Mm?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
"You always seem to be watching her," Zhao Guangcai said lightly.
"Ah? Really?" Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled awkwardly.
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai affirmed.
"Hehe, I just think it's curious since she lives next door to us," Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed dryly.
"Is that really true?" Zhao Guangcai looked at her suspiciously.
"Of course it's true," Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly nodded and said.
"Do you think she's prettier than me?" Zhao Guangcai suddenly asked.
"Pfft—" Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Guangcai asked, puzzled.
"Guangcai, are you jealous?" Zhang Xiaoxiao teased as she looked at him.
"I... I'm not jealous," Zhao Guangcai hurriedly denied.
"Then why do you care so much about me paying attention to her?" Zhang Xiaoxiao tilted her head and asked with a smile.
"I..." Zhao Guangcai was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Guangcai, are you really jealous?" Zhang Xiaoxiao pressed on.
"I'm not," Zhao Guangcai insisted stubbornly.
"Hehe, you are jealous," Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a grin.
"I'm not!" Zhao Guangcai said, his face turning red.
"You are definitely jealous," Zhang Xiaoxiao insisted.
"I..." Zhao Guangcai was left speechless.
"Guangcai, I'm so happy," Zhang Xiaoxiao said, linking her arm with his and smiling brightly.
"Happy about what?" Zhao Guangcai asked, confused.
"You finally care enough to be jealous for me," Zhang Xiaoxiao said playfully, winking at him.
"I..." Zhao Guangcai was once again at a loss for words.
"Guangcai, don't worry. In my heart, you're the most handsome; no one can compare to you," Zhang Xiaoxiao said seriously as she looked at him.
"Really?" Zhao Guangcai asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded earnestly.
" Xiaoxiao..." Zhao Guangcai gazed at her, touched.
"Guangcai, let's hurry up; otherwise, the village chief and the others will be waiting anxiously," Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly changed the subject.
"Okay," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
So the two continued walking forward.
Before long, they arrived at Doctor Li's clinic.
"Doctor Li," the village chief and other villagers greeted warmly.
"Hello everyone," Doctor Li greeted with a smile.
"Doctor Li, could you take a look at this young man?" the village chief said, pointing at Zhao Guangcai.
"Sure, come in and have a seat," Doctor Li quickly replied.
Zhao Guangcai and Zhang Xiaoxiao followed him inside.
Doctor Li had Zhao Guangcai sit on a chair and then examined his wound.
"What happened?" Doctor Li asked while checking.
"I accidentally got scratched by a fox," Zhao Guangcai answered.
"Oh," Doctor Li nodded.
"Doctor Li, is it serious?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.
"It's nothing major; I'll just apply some medicine," Doctor Li reassured her.
"That's good to hear," Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed in relief.
"Young man, how did you get scratched by a fox?" Doctor Li asked curiously.
"I was trying to catch a fox on the mountain when it scratched me," Zhao Guangcai explained.
"I see," Doctor Li said, realizing the situation.
"Doctor Li, you must check him thoroughly; we can't let it get infected," Zhang Xiaoxiao urged.
"Don't worry, it won't," Doctor Li said with a smile.
He treated Zhao Guangcai's wound and then took out a syringe and medicine, preparing to give him an injection.
"Take off your shirt," Doctor Li instructed Zhao Guangcai.
"Huh?" Zhao Guangcai was taken aback.
"What do you mean 'huh'? Hurry up and take it off," Doctor Li urged.
"This..." Zhao Guangcai glanced awkwardly at Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately understood; she smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll step outside for a moment."
"Why go outside? You two are married; there's no need to be shy," Doctor Li remarked.
