However, he also knew that his conditions were too poor. No girl was willing to marry him, so the most important thing now was to earn money. Once he had money, he could think about what to do next.

At the thought of this, Zhou Ping became hot-headed. “Song Xi, do you have any single sisters? Can you introduce them to us who haven’t married?”

Hearing this, Song Xi’s expression stiffened unnaturally. Her hand subconsciously tightened around the teacup. “I’m sorry, I don’t want to have anything to do with the Song Family anymore.”

Wouldn’t she be living under the surveillance of the Song Family if she brought the Song Family here? If anything happened, it would be spread to the Song Family. When she became rich, wouldn’t the Song Family come and cause trouble?

She was not a fool.

At this moment, Song Xi did not know that when the Song family “sent” her over, Zhou Yi had asked them to sign the document to sever ties. But was it useful? Even the law was helpless against scoundrels, let alone a document to sever ties?

“I’m sorry, I’m a little tired. I’ll go back to my room to rest first. You guys chat.” Song Xi forced a smile and stood up to leave.

Zhou Yi glanced at Zhou Ping helplessly and hurriedly stood up to follow her. “Wife, are you alright? He doesn’t think before he speaks. Don’t take it to heart.”

“I’m fine. I just suddenly thought of what the Song Family did to me and felt a little disappointed. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.” Song Xi closed the door and did not let Zhou Yi follow her in. She asked him to go back and entertain his friends.

Sheng Jiahe smacked Zhou Ping angrily. “Can you not mention that? Do you think Song Xi still wants to see the Song Family after how they treated her? You actually want her to introduce you to her sisters. I really want to pry open your brain and see what’s inside.”

“I…” Realizing that he had said something wrong, Zhou Ping hurriedly looked at Zhou Yi. “Brother Yi, Brother, I was wrong. Can you help me apologize to Song Xi? I really didn’t do it on purpose. I was hot-headed just now…”

“Don’t spout nonsense again in the future. Also, keep your mouth shut outside. Don’t say anything. Otherwise, the few of us won’t include you in the future.” Zhou Yi glanced at Zhou Ping coldly.

If he was still like this and did not know how to keep his mouth shut, they could not bring him along to earn money. Otherwise, if word got out, the few of them would not be able to be unscathed.

He was someone with a wife and could not let anything go wrong.

Zhou Ping hurriedly covered his mouth. He really knew his mistake. If someone mentioned his enemy or the person he hated the most in front of him, he would definitely be angry, so he could understand why Song Xi was angry.

“Alright, alright. Hurry up and help clean up the dishes. You can go back after you’re done,” Zhou Yi urged. He still had to accompany his wife. She must have been angry just now. It didn’t matter what Zhou Ping said, but he actually mentioned the pain in her heart. His wife must have suffered a lot in the Song family in the past. How could she still want to have anything to do with the Song family?!

Zhou Yi could understand Song Xi very well. Just like him, he did not want to have anything to do with his mother that abandoned them. If not for filial piety, he would not have admitted that that person was his mother.

After the three of them left, Zhou Yi’s house fell silent. Zhou Yi pushed open the door and saw Song Xi sitting on the edge of the bed. Under the light of the candle, she sewed a piece of fabric one by one. The light of the candle enveloped her body. After the braid was undone, it had a slightly curled arc. Her hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, complementing her small and exquisite face. Zhou Yi could not shift his gaze away for a moment and focused on her every move.

When he got married back then, he really did not think too much about it. He only thought that it was enough as long as he could get a wife. He did not expect that he would get such a wife. He really liked everything about her.

He swore to himself that he would earn money. He would build a house first, then electricity. That way, they could enjoy a bright life. In the summer, they could buy fans and not have to be so hot.

From the corner of her eye, Song Xi saw Zhou Yi staring at her. Just like that, she was distracted and her finger was pricked by a needle. It was so painful that tears welled up in her eyes. When she was making handmade Hanfu and accessories in the modern era, she was often pricked. However, after she became a hands-off boss, she had not been pricked for many years. Now that she was suddenly pricked, she looked a little dazed.

“Wife…” Zhou Yi’s heart tightened. He strode over and grabbed Song Xi’s hand to check. He saw a small red blood spot on her finger and was about to put it into his mouth when Song Xi awkwardly retracted her hand. “You just had dinner. Your mouth is greasy. It’s not good for the wound. Besides, it’s a needle-sized wound. It’s fine.”

“Wife.” Zhou Yi was moved and pulled Song Xi into his arms. Song Xi leaned into Zhou Yi’s arms and was very nervous. Her body was recovering quite well now. She was afraid that Zhou Yi would want them to fulfill their obligations as husband and wife.

Zhou Yi had saved her life. If Zhou Yi really wanted to do this, she had no reason to reject him. Actually, she was willing to be with such a man. After all, he was good-looking, kind, had no bad habits, and was diligent enough. It was just that she was not mentally prepared at all. She was terrified and afraid.

Zhou Yi lowered his eyes to look at the girl leaning in his arms. Her pale face was slightly pink, her clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, and long eyelashes trembled slightly, making one feel pity for her.

Sensing that the atmosphere had suddenly become ambiguous, Song Xi pushed Zhou Yi in a panic. “It’s so hot. I should go take a shower.”

This man did not seem to be afraid of the heat. He refused to let go of her. It was not winter, but they could hug each other for warmth in winter.

“Alright, wife. I’ll bring you water.” Zhou Yi let go of Song Xi and turned to leave. He quickly came over to ask Song Xi to take a shower. While Song Xi was taking a shower in the bathroom, Zhou Yi stood by the well and splashed water on himself. He did not know if he could wash himself clean like this.

When Song Xi came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she saw Zhou Yi sitting under the roof at the entrance of the central room, fanning himself slowly. He was wearing a white tank top and gray knee-length shorts. He looked clean and refreshing.

Also, he clearly had good clothes. Why did he wear tattered clothes every day?

At the thought of this, Song Xi walked towards Zhou Yi. “Brother Yi, if you usually dress like this, you should be able to get married long ago. There’s no need to drag it out until now, right?”

Other people’s clothes were patched. If there was a hole in his clothes, it would remain there. Then, after a long time, his clothes would decay like corn whiskers.
