Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Sister-in-law’s Concerns

Zhou Hui’s hands paused while packing clothes. She turned around, looking at Qi Shuzhu with a bewildered expression.

"Oh, I mean... he, he..."

Qi Shuzhu was embarrassed, stammering as she looked at Zhou Hui.

After all, she was an outsider. Speaking ill of Chen Dashan in front of his sister-in-law wouldn’t end well.

Zhou Hui laughed: "You young people like to say one thing and mean another."

She then sat down beside Qi Shuzhu, her gaze drifting towards the window. She spoke slowly: "Actually, Dashan has had a tough life. He comes from a poor background; Stone Village is impoverished and backward. Chen’s parents died early, and Dashan and his brother depended on each other from a young age."

"In school, he studied hard and was the most talented student from our ten surrounding villages. He first went to a top high school, then to medical school, winning scholarships every year..."

"Later on, because of his girlfriend..."

Zhou Hui’s expression changed from gentle to desolate, sorrowful, and pained. Qi Shuzhu listened to Chen Dashan’s story, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing.

She came from a good family, an heiress of the Qi family, born into comfort, showered with love, and never had to worry about anything. She never thought about issues like being unable to go to school, having her legs broken, and her eyes burned blind, living in destitution. Chen Dashan’s life was one of perseverance.

It’s been tough for Chen Dashan to get to where he is today.

Qi Shuzhu bit her lip, lost in thought.

Zhou Hui noticed Qi Shuzhu’s reaction, a gentle smile appearing on her lips.

It seemed that Dashan’s girlfriend was understanding and kind. Young girls liked to say one thing and mean another; she understood this well.

...

It was past nine at night. Chen Dashan paced outside Zhou Hui’s room.

He raised his hand to knock on the door but felt embarrassed and hesitated. Just as he was about to leave, he heard movement inside, and quickly said nervously: "Sister-in-law, are you asleep?"

There was no answer for a moment.

Chen Dashan’s heart raced. Just when he was about to turn and leave, Zhou Hui’s gentle voice came from inside: "Is that you, Dashan? Come in!"

Chen Dashan was overjoyed, suppressing his excitement as he pushed the door open and entered.

The light in the room was dim. Zhou Hui only had the bedside lamp on. The warm light bathed her face, giving her delicate features a golden hue, making her look pure and beautiful.

At that moment, Zhou Hui was wearing cotton silk pajamas brought from her hometown. The design was outdated, with large flowers in various colors on an ivory background.

"Sit here!"

Zhou Hui stood up and motioned for Chen Dashan to sit by her bed.

"Creak..."

The bed made a slight creaking sound. Zhou Hui lifted the summer quilt, sat up, and leaned against the headboard. As she moved, her chest rose and fell. Through the thin fabric, Chen Dashan could clearly see the outline of two small protrusions.

Chen Dashan quickly looked down, blushing furiously: "Sister-in-law, I just wanted to check if you needed anything else."

"Tomorrow, I’ll have someone buy anything you need. And if there’s anything you’re not comfortable with, let me know, and I’ll arrange it right away."

"Everything is fine here; what could I be uncomfortable with?"

Zhou Hui laughed and then lay on her stomach on the bed: "It’s just that my back pain hasn’t improved. If you have time, could you give me a massage?"

"Sure!"

Chen Dashan agreed without hesitation. As he looked at Zhou Hui’s curvaceous figure from behind, he felt a surge of heat. His large hand gently landed on Zhou Hui’s firm waist. Even through her clothes, he could clearly feel her tension.

"By the way, Dashan, don’t you love eating cured meat? I brought plenty for you, and I also sewed two pairs of large summer shorts for you..."

Zhou Hui’s words droned on as Chen Dashan nodded, massaging her waist as he listened.

Three years of relying on each other, with Zhou Hui taking care of him when she was blind and crippled, handling everything personally. Chen Dashan would never forget her kindness.

Listening to Zhou Hui’s chatter, Chen Dashan didn’t feel annoyed. Instead, he felt a warmth in his heart.

"Dashan, I have something for you!"

Zhou Hui suddenly turned to look at Chen Dashan, then got up from the bed.

Her large peach-shaped buttocks rose high. Her slender waist and curvy hips were mesmerizing. The thin fabric clung tightly to her plump behind, outlining an alluring shape. Looking down, one could even see the contour of her secret garden. Chen Dashan swallowed hard, almost able to smell Zhou Hui’s unique scent, making his blood boil.

"Here’s 200,000 yuan for you!"

Zhou Hui turned around and handed a bank card to Chen Dashan, embarrassed: "Building the house cost a lot. This is the leftover money, combined with some from selling fruits and grains at home. You should keep it. By next year, we should have saved 300,000 yuan. Then you can handle the wedding or having children with enough money."

"I won’t be idle either. In the next few days, I’ll look for a job in the city..."

Zhou Hui’s eyes were bright, fully focused on planning for Chen Dashan. Chen Dashan, moved, interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, we have money now. We don’t need this. You should just enjoy life."

Zhou Hui frowned: "I think that young girl is quite good. She’s smart and kind. Trust my judgment."

Talking about Qi Shuzhu, Zhou Hui smiled slyly.

Chen Dashan was speechless. There was no way to explain this situation. He couldn’t take the money, not knowing how his sister-in-law managed to save it up.

They chatted a bit more, each with their own thoughts, then said goodbye.

...

Early the next morning, Wu Hongling waited outside Chen Dashan’s door at 7 o’clock sharp, as usual.

"Master, are we going to Liu’s Construction Company today, or..."

Before Wu Hongling could finish, a Maybach pulled up beside Chen Dashan’s villa gate. Chen Dashan squinted, realizing he wouldn’t be going anywhere today.

The car door opened, and a fair, slender leg stepped out, wearing a pair of pale yellow embroidered traditional-style shoes adorned with pearls and gemstones. With such an extravagant display, Chen Dashan didn’t need to guess. It had to be Ning Caizhu.

"Your master isn’t going anywhere today."

Ning Caizhu emerged from the car, dressed in a pale yellow modernized gown. Ethereal yet sensual, Chen Dashan couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Wu Hongling pouted and sensibly went inside to find a place to rest.

"Thanks for yesterday,"

Chen Dashan began. Yesterday at the promotional event, Ning Caizhu had misunderstood his relationship with Qin Xuan and left in a huff. He hadn’t expected her to come back at the critical moment with Yang Huichun to save the day.

For that alone, he owed her gratitude.

Ning Caizhu, who usually appeared arrogant and ready to fight Chen Dashan, avoided his gaze, fumbling for words: "Do you think I really wanted to help you?"

"I was just afraid that Qi Shuzhu would crush you, and then there’d be no one to brew my medicine. I did it for myself, so don’t flatter yourself."

With that, Ning Caizhu raised her chin proudly and turned to enter Chen Dashan’s villa.

Chen Dashan shook his head helplessly. What a capricious woman!
