"How is that possible? My sister can't have a son as big as you," Sun Qiuhua scoffed.
"By seniority, I should naturally call you 'Auntie,'" Zhao Xiaosong teased.
"I'll say it again, I don't know any the Zhao Family," Sun Qiuhua said with a cold expression.
"Auntie, why are you so stubborn?" Zhao Xiaosong sighed.
"Who is your auntie?" Sun Qiuhua retorted coldly.
"My mother misses you very much," Zhao Xiaosong said lightly.
"Hmph, don't try to get close to me," Sun Qiuhua dismissed him disdainfully.
"Auntie, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it; I know your daughter now has the surname Li," Zhao Xiaosong said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiuhua's face turned pale instantly. Gritting her teeth, she asked, "What do you want?"
"I just want to catch up with my auntie," Zhao Xiaosong shrugged and replied.
Sun Qiuhua stared at him, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes.
"Auntie, please," Zhao Xiaosong gestured invitingly.
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Qiuhua stepped forward.
Zhao Xiaosong smiled slightly and followed her. The driver and the villagers hurriedly followed suit.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai happened to arrive. Seeing the village chief and other villagers gathered there, they were taken aback.
"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 raced; it was indeed him—the male lead had arrived.
"What does he want with Sun Qiuhua?" Zhang Xiaoxiao inquired.
"They're relatives," the village chief answered.
"Relatives? Isn't Sun Qiuhua someone who fled here from another place?" Zhao Guangcai asked in confusion.
"Sigh, it's a long story," the village chief sighed.
"Grandpa Village Chief, what does that young master look like?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked eagerly.
"He is quite handsome and dresses very well," the village chief said with a smile.
"Oh," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
"We should hurry over to take a look," the village chief urged.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed with a nod.
Thus, the village chief and Zhao Guangcai hurried ahead.
"Guangcai, let's go see too," Zhang Xiaoxiao tugged at Zhao Guangcai's sleeve.
"Sure," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
The two walked hand in hand, slowly making their way forward.
"Xiaoxiao, you seem quite interested in the daughter of the the Li Family," Zhao Guangcai suddenly said.
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
"It seems like you’re always watching her," Zhao Guangcai remarked lightly.
"Really? Am I?" Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled awkwardly.
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai affirmed.
"Hehe, I just think it's curious since she lives next door," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied with a forced smile.
"Is that so?" Zhao Guangcai looked at her suspiciously.
"Of course it is," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded quickly.
"Do you think she's prettier than me?" Zhao Guangcai asked suddenly.
"Pfft—" Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Guangcai asked, confused.
"Guangcai, are you jealous?" Zhang Xiaoxiao teased, looking at him playfully.
"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 instantly 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 replied, 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, puzzled.
"You finally care enough to be jealous for me," Zhang Xiaoxiao winked playfully.
"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 into his eyes.
"Really?" Zhao Guangcai asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded earnestly.
"Xiaoxiao..." Zhao Guangcai gazed at her with emotion.
"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 they continued walking forward.
Before long, they arrived at Dr. Li's clinic.
"Dr. Li!" The village chief and other villagers greeted warmly.
"Hello, everyone," Dr. Li greeted with a smile.
"Dr. 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," Dr. Li replied quickly.
Zhao Guangcai and Zhang Xiaoxiao followed him inside.
Dr. Li had Zhao Guangcai sit on a chair and began to examine his wound. "How did this happen?" he asked while checking.
"I accidentally got scratched by a fox," Zhao Guangcai answered.
"Oh," Dr. Li nodded.
"Dr. Li, is it serious?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.
"It's nothing major; I'll just apply some medicine," Dr. Li reassured her.
"That's good to hear," Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed in relief.
"Young man, how did you get scratched by a fox?" Dr. Li asked curiously.
"I was trying to catch a fox on the mountain when it clawed me," Zhao Guangcai explained.
"I see," Dr. Li said, understanding now.
"Dr. Li, please make sure to check him thoroughly; we can't let it get infected," Zhang Xiaoxiao urged.
"Don't worry, it won't," Dr. Li said with a smile.
He treated Zhao Guangcai's wound and then took out a syringe and some medicine, preparing to give him an injection.
"Take off your shirt," Dr. Li instructed Zhao Guangcai.
"Huh?" Zhao Guangcai was taken aback.
"What do you mean 'huh'? Hurry up and take it off," Dr. Li urged.
"This..." Zhao Guangcai glanced awkwardly at Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately understood and smiled awkwardly as she said, "I'll step outside for a moment."
"Why go outside? You two are married; there's no need to be shy," Dr. Li remarked.
