Sang Dazhuang remembered the thugs Cui Xue had found to kidnapped Yu Zhi, and his eyes were filled with hostility. It was time to teach her a lesson, not to mention the poisoning incident. Even if Yu Zhi would ignore him for years this time, he couldn’t let the person surnamed Cui have it easy.
Sang Ye sneered sarcastically. They are saying so much now, but once the troublemaker in bed makes a fuss, they will compromise everything.
In this family, one is dumber than the other.
Cui Xue, that old bitch, hmph!
Sang Shen lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. This Cui Xue is really annoying.
When Yu Zhi woke up, Wang Xinfeng had already gone back with the twins.
Originally, Wang Xinfeng was disgusted by Sang Dazhuang’s clumsiness and wanted to stay behind to take care of Yu Zhi. However, Yu Zhi held Sang Dazhuang too tightly and wouldn’t let go even when she was asleep.
She had no choice but to go back.
There was still a lot of work to be done at home and she also needed to cook some delicious food for her daughter-in-law to nourish her body.
She glared at Sang Dazhuang with resentment and jealousy as she repeatedly reminded him to take care of Yu Zhi before she left reluctantly.
Sang Dazhuang felt that his life had reached its peak. He had never been needed so much by his wife before, so he was so lost that he didn’t know what to do.
He stood by the bed like a mountain, neither sitting nor lying down, staring at Yu Zhi’s sleeping face with a silly smile. He looked like a weird uncle.
The longer Yu Zhi slept, the more he stared at her, and the more he smiled foolishly.
Fortunately, no one else had entered the ward, otherwise, they would have been frightened by his foolish demeanor.
So when Yu Zhi opened her eyes, she saw Sang Dazhuang’s black bear-like face and copper bell-like eyes. She was frightened, then choked on her saliva and almost coughed up her lungs.
Sang Dazhuang was anxious and blamed himself. He wanted to pat her back but was afraid to touch her, so he could only scratch his ears and cheeks.
Yu Zhi finished coughing and cried again, then she calmed down after crying out the grievances and happiness of being reborn.
With swollen eyes, she hoarsely said, “I want water.”
“Huh? Oh right, drink some water.” Sang Dazhuang hurriedly poured water for Yu Zhi, but the hot water kettle was empty.
Sang Dazhuang suddenly panicked. He was too fascinated by Yu Zhi and didn’t do anything his mother had instructed him to do.
My wife wants to drink water. Oh no, what should I do?
Feeling guilty, he looked at Yu Zhi as if he didn’t know what to do, like a daughter-in-law who had done something wrong.
Yu Zhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He was so silly and cute.
“Go get some hot water.”
Sang Dazhuang slapped his forehead. Why am I so stupid?
“Uh yes, yes! Zhi—uhm, just wait here, I’ll be back soon.” Yu Zhi didn’t let him call her name, so Sang Dazhuang held back his words when he was about to say it.
Yu Zhi felt a pain in her heart. She could no longer remember how much she had done or how deeply she had hurt this foolish man. Although she made a lot of unreasonable requests, he could remember them one by one and did them without fail.
It’s okay, let’s just take it slow. I can definitely make up for it.
“Hmm, just come back quickly. I’m scared to be alone.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Sang Dazhuang wanted to say something but hesitated and didn’t leave.

Yu Zhi blinked and asked, “Is there anything else?”
Sang Dazhuang glanced at the hem of his coat and said, “Um, your hand…”
Yu Zhi finally realized that she was still holding onto Sang Dazhuang for a long time and her hand was stiff. She couldn’t stretch it out on her own and felt uncomfortable.
“Dazhuang, please help me. My hand is stiff and I can’t move it.”
Sang Dazhuang almost knelt after she called him by his name. This was no less shocking than when she called her mother ‘Mom’ earlier. His heart was pounding heavily but he did not dare to show it for fear of scaring Yu Zhi.
He tried to calm down and then looked at Yu Zhi’s hand. Her white and tender little hand had been frozen until it turned blue and the spot where the needle was inserted was even darker.
Sang Dazhuang wished he could slap himself twice, he felt that he was so stupid.
On such a cold day, if exposed outside the quilt, you might be frozen to death.
He reached out with his big black hands and carefully touched Yu Zhi’s white and thin fingers. Her hand was too small and fragile, so Sang Dazhuang just held it in his hands and didn’t do anything else for fear of hurting her.
After a while, he rubbed her two fingers and the other parts of her white, tender, and cold little hand. He almost stopped breathing.
After doing it for a long time, Yu Zhi’s hand became colder and stiffer. Sang Dazhuang was sweating all over himself, but his fingers didn’t stop rubbing.
Yu Zhi looked at Sang Dazhuang’s trembling expression and was somehow speechless. She was not made of tofu to be so fragile.
“Rub your palms to warm them first, then hold my hand and massage it. Hurry up, I’m cold.”
Sang Dazhuang didn’t dare to hesitate after hearing this.
He rubbed his hands on his clothes as he secretly watched Yu Zhi’s expression, then slowly warmed them up.
Yu Zhi didn’t show any disgust or refusal, so he felt relieved.
He thought that the small hand in the palm of his hands was not as big as an egg, and his heart felt so warm.
If Yu Zhi is willing to let me touch her, does it mean she doesn’t hate me so much?
With this thought, Sang Dazhuang was very happy.
After warming Yu Zhi’s hand, he gently rubbed it and carefully stuffed it into the quilt. He still felt that he was floating, so he said, “I… I’ll go get some hot water now. I’ll be back soon.” He didn’t dare to look at Yu Zhi’s face, so he turned around and ran away.
He ran to the door and remembered that he didn’t take the kettle. He gritted his teeth and came back to get it, then ran away like a gust of wind.
He ran too fast with that floating feeling, so he bumped into someone. His big body was fine but he knocked the other person to the ground. Fortunately, that person was a young man and was not injured.
Sang Dazhuang, the villain, was the first to complain and shouted at the top of his voice, “Are you blind? Believe it or not, I’ll beat you!”
The young man’s anger was instantly extinguished as the person he bumped into was someone he could not afford to offend. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
Sang Dazhuang glared at him and then walked away fiercely.
He secretly glanced at the ward with a guilty conscience. My wife shouldn’t have heard me, right? He didn’t want to encounter that unlucky thing again or else its head would be knocked out.
The young man was an innocent victim… so who exactly was the unlucky thing?
Yu Zhi heard everything clearly in the ward and her mouth curled up.
In the past, she would have disliked Sang Dazhuang’s vulgar and vicious behavior. Now that she heard it, she found it funny and thought that he was clearly a fool.
The man was strong, with a fierce face, a loud voice, and a violent temper.
Before meeting Yu Zhi, he wandered around with several young people of similar age.
He never worked in the fields. He would beat someone at the slightest disagreement or just because he felt like it. If someone provoked him, he would be even more ruthless. In his mind, there was no problem that could not be solved with fists, and if there was one, he would beat it to death.
His fist, about the size of a sandbag, was simply too big for most people to withstand. He was invincible from all over the county and easily became a gang leader. People disliked and avoided him.
After encountering Yu Zhi, he said he didn’t like to be a gangster anymore, so he changed his ways. Although he couldn’t change his bad temper, he obediently worked in the fields.
He had great strength and could do the work of several people on his own, so he earned full work points every day.
However, he did a lot of bad things before, so even though he was an honest worker now, he was still not respected. Moreover, his temper had not changed at all, except for being cautious in front of Yu Zhi where he would stifle his voice, he would still be fierce and irritable in front of others. The glare from his copper bell-like eyes could scare people’s souls.
Now, Yu Zhi didn’t mind it anymore. No matter what kind of personality he had or what kind of things he did, as long as he treated her well, she could accept him. She no longer cared about other people’s opinions or thoughts. As long as she liked and valued this man, then it was all good.
Before Sang Dazhuang returned, other patients were assigned to the ward.
There was a big family crowded inside who made a lot of noise.
