Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Unhappy_1

"Shut up, and try spouting nonsense again," Jiang Ziqi was somewhat angry. He was originally quite confident, having performed acupuncture thousands of times since his debut, and had never made a mistake. With Lin Yue’s interjections and skewed reasoning, he actually hesitated for a moment while administering the needles. Only after concentrating and calming his mind did he regain his composure and exclude the influence Lin Yue had on him. He glanced at Zhao Erhu with some concern, "Keep an eye on your wife and make sure she doesn’t fidget."

Zhao Erhu nodded and solemnly followed Jiang Ziqi’s instructions, restraining Lin Yue firmly. Zhao Erhu knew his wife’s temperament well: if reason didn’t work, it was best to use force directly, otherwise, there would be endless nagging.

In ancient times, physical contact between men and women was taboo, and there wasn’t the openness of modern times. To avoid suspicion, Jiang Ziqi could only perform acupuncture on the areas of Lin Yue’s body that were externally exposed. The effect couldn’t be the best, but Zhao Erhu was open-minded. He thought Lin Yue’s health was more important, so after discussing with Jiang Ziqi, they decided to let Lin Yue wear a thin garment while receiving acupuncture. Actually, this way, not much could be seen, and with Jiang Ziqi’s medical skills, he was still able to precisely perform acupuncture even through the garment, which was economically beneficial for both sides.

Perhaps due to Jiang Ziqi’s excellent medical skills, the actual process of receiving the needles wasn’t as painful as imagined, feeling just like an ant bite, not too unbearable. However, these two fellows completely disregarded her wishes. Lin Yue felt her soul deeply hurt, so she went on strike, refusing even to prepare lunch. After all, Zhao Erhu’s condition was cured now, and it didn’t matter if Jiang Ziqi wasn’t coming. She’d let things take their own course, displaying a classic burn-the-bridge attitude.

Except for the few things he insisted on, Zhao Erhu was absolutely indulgent towards Lin Yue in other aspects. If Lin Yue wanted to rest, he was very supportive. He didn’t wish for Lin Yue to be so exhausted, so now that he had woken up, he took care of everything at home, while his little wife could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Zhao Erhu even made the bed for Lin Yue, inviting her to lie down and rest, but Lin Yue didn’t appreciate his gesture, huffed, and walked away, picking up a small hoe and heading for the fields. Zhao Erhu, uneasy at heart and knowing that Lin Yue was still angry with him, didn’t dare to stop her, only reminding her repeatedly not to overexert herself and sending a few youngsters to accompany her.

Lin Yue may have claimed to be angry, but where was she truly upset? She wasn’t an ungrateful person. Zhao Erhu and Jiang Ziqi were looking out for her health; how could she not know that? It was just that she had been suppressing her feelings for so long and had not acted wilfully for an extended period. She wanted to indulge in a bit of petulance, intentionally being stubborn and unreasonable with Zhao Erhu.

Being petulant really felt great. With Zhao Erhu’s indulgence, she could be wilful from time to time in the future, just to relax. As for how Zhao Erhu felt, she wouldn’t consider that for the time being. After all, he was her husband, and he should just put up with it, haha. Moreover, from the looks of it, Zhao Erhu also seemed quite willing, so if one was willing to bear the beating and the other willing to strike, wasn’t it just perfect?

The lunch was prepared by Zhao Erhu, whose cooking skills definitely couldn’t be considered good, barely passable at best. Jiang Ziqi, usually picky, didn’t mind and ate his meal with considerable grace and elegance, agreeing to come again tomorrow.

Since Jiang Ziqi had treated Lin Yue without charging any consultation fee, Zhao Erhu decided to express his gratitude by handling Zhao Er Gou’s affairs at the village temple in the afternoon and then entering the mountains to hunt some game to enhance the next day’s midday meal.

The moment Lin Yue heard that Zhao Erhu was going into the mountains to hunt, she became displeased, adamantly trying to prevent him from going,
