Chapter 164 - 159: The Couple Meets
Zhiming, who worked at the lumber mill, had been sternly reprimanded by Zhiyong over that divorcee matter. Zhiyong had said that if Zhiming caused any more trouble next time, he wouldn’t bother with words, but would send him straight back and also tell Fang Xiu about it.
He was somewhat afraid, and had been behaving these past few days, dutifully watching over materials at the factory in the daytime and going back to sleep in his room early at night.
Seeing Zhiyong come looking for him, and hearing that Fang Xiu had arrived, he was startled, "Big brother, did you really tell Fang Xiu about my matter?"
Zhiyong glanced at him sternly and scolded, "Now you know fear, afraid yet still fooling around outside?"
Zhiming, thinking Fang Xiu really came because of that issue, was very anxious. He said with a woeful face to Zhiyong, "Big brother, I’ve already apologized to you, and I promise not to make the same mistake again. Why do you have to let Fang Xiu come over? If she finds out, she might as well kill me."
After that, he remained firmly on the bed, as if he would rather die than leave his room today.
Zhiyong really couldn’t bear to look at him; now he’s so afraid of Fang Xiu finding out when earlier he didn’t know to hold back.
Purposely keeping silent to scare him for a while, he eventually explained his purpose, "It’s not about that matter. Your sister-in-law found a job outside, and asked Honglan to come over and work. Fang Xiu said she happened to want to check on you while coming here, so they came together. They’ll go to work together later."
As soon as Zhiming heard that Fang Xiu didn’t know about the matter, he immediately smiled, "Really? Xiu’er really doesn’t know about this, and she just came to see me in the provincial city?"
Zhiyong said, "That’s right. Come with me, the couple can meet. Tomorrow, Fang Xiu will go with Honglan to work in the city, and you probably won’t see each other until your holiday."
"Alright." After that, Zhiming immediately tidied up, humming a tune, and left with Zhiyong.
