Chapter 17: When I Became My Sister's Husband

  Chapter 17 When I

  When Wang Haodong returned home, Zhang Shufang had already woken up and was watching TV.

  "Are you feeling any better?" Wang Haodong asked, seeing that the water cup in front of her was empty, he went forward to pour half a cup of water for her and handed it over.

  "Thank you." Zhang Shufang took a sip and said, "I feel much better now."

  "Does your head hurt?" Wang Haodong asked a few more questions, seeing that her spirit was quite good, and estimated that it was nothing serious.

  Zhang Shufang glanced at the wall clock, suddenly got out of bed and said: "Oh dear, Qianqian is about to finish school, I have to go cook."

  Wang Haodong went forward and said: "Your illness has just improved a bit, you rest, wait for Zhang Qian to come back and let her cook."

  "She still has a month before the college entrance exam, I don't want to delay her, so I'll come instead."

  Zhang Shufang stubbornly walked out of the bedroom, to the vegetable garden outside, picked some green vegetables, pulled two small scallions, and came back to Wang Haodong: "There's not much food at home, I went to the town today, just looking for a job, then caught a cold and my body didn't feel well, so I forgot to buy vegetables, let's have noodles for dinner tonight."

  "Alright." Wang Haodong didn't say anything else and just nodded in agreement.

  After a while, Zhang Qian returned home from school and learned that her sister was ill. She was naturally worried and asked with concern. She learned that Wang Haodong had taken her to see the doctor and hurriedly thanked him.

  As they chatted, it was almost time to eat. Wang Haodong and Zhang Qian went to the kitchen together, each carrying a bowl of noodles, and then went to the main room to eat with some small side dishes.

  While having dinner, Zhang Shufang mentioned that she would go to the market tomorrow to buy vegetables because there were none left at home. Zhang Qian hastily said: "Sister, you're still not fully recovered from your illness, so don't go. Tomorrow is a weekend and I'm not going to school, I'll go instead."

  "That's not okay, you have to stay home and study hard, the college entrance exam is just around the corner, every minute counts."

  "It doesn't matter for the time being, sis. My grades are stable and I'm confident about the college entrance exam. You should take a good rest, you've been tired for so many days, it's time to have a good rest."

  Listening to the two sisters almost quarreling over going to the market, Wang Haodong volunteered: "You don't fight, I'll go to town to buy vegetables, so one of you can stay at home to rest and the other can stay at home to watch."

  Zhang Shufang nodded: "This is a good idea, it's just that I have to trouble you."

  "Look at what you're saying, I've already said it, now that we live together like a family, why are you being polite with me?"

  "Hey, Wang is a good guy." Zhang Qian stuck out her tongue at Wang Haodong and then said: "Forget it, let's just make Wang my brother-in-law."

  Wang Haodong was taken aback by the words, but he dryly laughed and didn't know how to respond.

  "Xiao, eat your meal, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Shufang reacted strongly, her face suddenly turned red, and she scolded Zhang Qian severely.

  Zhang Qian hastily stood up and walked out of the hall, laughing: "Hey, Wang Dage has a good heart, he's tall and handsome, quite dashing, and has great strength, his skills are excellent, can't you see that?"

  "What else?" Zhang Shufang glared with wide eyes, truly having a heroic and majestic appearance.

  Zhang Qian smiled and didn't say anything else.

  Zhang Shufang's face turned red and she said to Wang Haodong: "Little Wang, don't listen to gossip."

  "I know she's joking." Wang Haodong also echoed.

  After dinner, Wang Haodong took a bath and returned to his bedroom. He picked up his phone and browsed the news for a while. Occasionally, he could hear Xiao Yufen's movements next door. However, since he had just made amends with her in the afternoon, it wasn't suitable for him to visit again at night, lest others see them.

  ……

  The next morning, Wang Haodong was sleeping soundly when he heard a knock at the door.

  "Brother Wang, hurry up and get up, we'll go to town together later." Zhang Qian's voice came from the doorway.

  "Wang Haodong asked: "Why? Didn't your sister tell you to study at home?"

  "I've made a deal with my sister that I'll spend the whole day reading, but everyone thinks it's boring and the learning efficiency is low, so I want to go out and take a walk to clear my mind."

  "Oh, okay, wait for me a moment, I'll get up right away." It was said that she had already agreed with Zhang Shufang, so Wang Haodong didn't have any objections.

  After getting up, Wang Haodong washed his face and brushed his teeth. He saw Zhang Shufang cooking in the kitchen and went to ask her a few questions. Seeing that she was moving quickly and in good spirits, he knew that after resting, she had basically recovered, but since it was windy today, she shouldn't go to the gathering.

  Wang Haodong asked: "Just now Zhang Qian said you promised her to go to the Taoist temple, is that right?"

  "Yes, she said that reading books is boring and wants to take a break. I agreed." Zhang Shufang said while stir-frying vegetables: "Nowadays, it's about balancing work and rest, can't always let her read books, otherwise she'll get fed up and the efficiency of reading will be low."

  "You're a sensible person." Wang Haodong's gaze fell on her figure, she was wearing an apron, her slender body slightly bent, occasionally stirring the dishes in the iron pot, exuding a mature and elegant demeanor.

  Zhang Shufang has a slender figure, with a pair of sexy and long beautiful legs. Under the outline of her clothes, she looks especially charming. Wang Haodong looked at her plump buttocks and had an urge to pounce on her.

  Zhang Shufang turned her face and asked: "Have you washed your face? The dishes will be ready soon, we can eat after a while."

  "Alright, all set, just waiting for dinner now."

  Wang Haodong smiled and finished speaking, seeing her slightly haggard expression, that thought, unknowingly dissipated.

  Soon, Zhang Shufang stir-fried the dishes, garlic shoots with scrambled eggs. The garlic shoots were grown in her own vegetable garden and were very fresh. The eggs were also produced by her own hens and were extremely delicious when stir-fried.

  Wang Haodong ate three steamed buns for this meal, and after a short rest, he rode his bike with Zhang Qian to Linyuan Town Market, which was over ten miles away.

  Two people rode a car, when they went out, Zhang Shufang reminded them that it had just rained and there was a lot of mud on the road, asking them to be careful not to ride too fast.

  When it was time to leave, Wang Haodong saw Xiao Yufen. She smiled at him and he asked with a smile: "Yufen, do you want to go to the town together?"

  "I'm not going, I just went a few days ago."

  "Do you need me to bring anything?"

  "Uh, help me carry a box of needles."

  "Alright, you wait at home, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Wang Haodong rode his bike and caught up with Zhang Qian.

  Zhang Qian turned her head to see Wang Haodong riding up behind, and said: "Wang big brother, I think, between you and my neighbor, it seems like there's often some kind of exchange going on, right?"

  "No." Wang Haodong was very impressed by Xiao Yatou's insight, but his mouth was denying it.

  "Don't lie to me anymore, I've already figured it out." Zhang Qian waved her hand as she rode her bike and said: "Actually, I still want you to be my brother-in-law."

  Wang Haodong smiled wryly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, your sister seems unhappy already. This kind of thing can't be joked about."

  "Sister, hey, don't you understand?"

  Wang Haodong asked in surprise: "What's clear?"

  "Fine, I won't say anything else, you figure it out yourself." Zhang Qian gave Wang Haodong a cold glance and accelerated the car, leaving him behind.

  Wang Haodong scratched his head and muttered: "What do I understand? What do I need to ponder?"
