Chapter 4232

The room was very dim and damp. Zhao Desan stared for a long time before he could see the things in the room clearly. Looking up, a heated brick bed occupied half of the room. A man was lying on the bed, his beard already very, very long, almost covering his entire face. At this moment, the woman sitting on the bed was feeding the seriously ill man liquid food, one mouthful at a time.

Zhao Desan saw clearly that this woman was Zheng Jie, whom he had been thinking about day and night. Seeing this scene, Zhao Desan couldn't help but shout: "Zheng Jie..."

Zheng Jie, who was sitting on the bed, was startled by Zhao Desan's action, and the bowl she was holding slipped onto the bed. She stared at Zhao Desan with terrified and surprised eyes.

Regardless of Shuanzhu's presence, Zhao Desan stepped forward and hugged Zheng Jie, saying: "Zheng Jie, I missed you to death..."

Zheng Jie also didn't care that Shuanzhu was present. She hadn't seen this man who had been a benefactor to her and for whom she had developed true feelings for too long. She also raised her arms and hugged Zhao Desan's broad back, saying aggrievedly: "I missed you too..."

Seeing this scene, Shuanzhu automatically exited the room, stood at the door, lit a cigarette, and smoked.

After a long time, hearing Shuanzhu's coughing outside the room, Zheng Jie let go of Zhao Desan somewhat embarrassedly. With eyes full of affection, she looked at Zhao Desan and said: "Xiao Zhao, how have you been lately?"

Zhao Desan smiled with relief, nodded, and said: "I'm fine, how about you?" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Da, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly.

Zheng Jie realized something, her beautiful eyebrows knitted together, and she sighed helplessly: "Your Brother Zhao's situation is getting worse and worse. He sleeps for a long time every day. The doctor said he might not last much longer."

Zhao Desan looked at Zhao Da, who was lying on the heated brick bed, thin to the point of being skin and bones. He couldn't help but feel sad for Zheng Jie. A woman as strong as her had encountered such a broken family. He really didn't know what to say, so he could only tell her to take good care of herself and call him if anything happened, or ask Shuanzhu for help. Shuanzhu was doing very well in this county town now.

Zheng Jie had a faint smile on her face and nodded: "I know. You are so busy and yet you came such a long way to see me, I am already satisfied."

Zhao Desan stayed at Zheng Jie's place for almost two hours. During these two hours, without anyone disturbing them, he and Zheng Jie just held hands and chatted simply. It wasn't until his phone rang that he let go of Zheng Jie's hand, took his phone out of his pocket, glanced at it, and said to Zheng Jie: "I'll take a call first!" As he spoke, he walked out of the damp room, came to the courtyard, and then answered the call, saying "Hello" impatiently.

"Hello, District Mayor Liu, this is Old Qi." A smiling voice came from the phone.

Zhao Desan was stunned, and immediately knew it was Mayor Qi's call, so he said somewhat angrily: "Mayor Qi, I came down today to talk to you about work, but I couldn't find you for most of the day, and I almost lost my life at your town government!"

Mayor Qi hurriedly apologized: "I know, I know. I heard from the people in the town government just now. I'm really sorry, District Mayor Liu. I was talking about work with a few people in the town at noon and drank some wine, got drunk, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry!"

Zhao Desan said unpleasantly: "Mayor Qi, I think you don't care much about the work arranged from above, do you? I came to Shenlong Town specifically to talk to you about work today, but I couldn't see you for most of the day. Your official airs as a mayor are quite big!"

Hearing Zhao Desan's sarcastic tone, Mayor Qi apologized again: "No, no, District Mayor Liu, don't misunderstand. I was really drunk at noon and didn't know anything. Otherwise, if you, District Mayor Liu, came down to Shenlong Town to talk to me about work, how could I not see you? I'm really sorry, District Mayor Liu. How about this, if you, District Mayor Liu, haven't returned to the district yet, I'll arrange a meal tonight to apologize to you, District Mayor Liu, and then we can talk about work. I wonder if you, District Mayor Liu, are willing to give me this face?"

It must be said that Zhao Desan came to Shenlong Town today with serious business, and didn't want to make this trip in vain. Hearing Mayor Qi say this, he pondered for a moment and said somewhat reluctantly: "Alright then, let's talk when we meet!" ===== CHAPTER 4233 =====
