Qiao Duo’er nodded, "The fact that he can communicate with us is a huge step forward, if you want to get closer to him, you need to gain his trust first. Talk to him every day like I do, about the people he cares about, the things he cares about, but make sure to do it in moderation and not to put too much pressure on him."
It was Big Niu who had been taking care of him, so it was more necessary for Big Niu to get close to him.
And this was also Big Niu’s opportunity, a chance to win over his heart.
Big Niu responded earnestly, "I know what to do."
She felt that when Qiao Duo’er approached Zhang Ziwen, she treated him like a naughty child, going along with him, coddling him.
Then she would treat this as an opportunity for practice; after all, there would come a time in her life when she would be a mother.
Big Niu’s state of mind suddenly became peaceful, even if he never recovered in this lifetime, it wouldn’t matter, because this was her fate.
Since Zhang Ziwen had returned, Big Niu devoted herself wholeheartedly to him, unwilling to leave his side for even half a step, even when he was asleep.
The Feng Clan was very grateful for Qiao Duo’s continuous assistance and personally escorted Qiao Duo’er and Lu Kejun out of the house.
At the doorstep, with reddened eyes, the Feng Clan asked, "Duo’er, do you think Big Niu can persuade him to return?"
She didn’t mind supporting Zhang Ziwen for life, but her heart ached for her daughter.
"Love cannot be forced; Zi Wen hasn’t reached that point yet," Qiao Duo’er said slowly.
Zhang Ziwen’s wounds were not physical, meaning they weren’t permanent injuries; as long as someone attended to his inner world, there was a complete possibility of him getting better.
It’s just that it would be hard on Big Niu during the time it took for him to recover.
The Feng Clan nodded, now that was all they could hope for.
If one were optimistic, once Zhang Ziwen recovered, he would surely treat Big Niu well, just like Tan Zhenghong did with Qiao Duo’er.
When Tan Zhenghong was disabled and had nothing, Qiao Duo’er stood by him unwaveringly, and now that their life had improved, Tan Zhenghong wouldn’t entertain any fancies.
Upon leaving the Tie Family, Lu Kejun sighed, "Big Niu is a girl of great loyalty and righteousness, but what is so good about Zhang Ziwen that has made her so utterly devoted?"
Big Niu was a very good girl, clearly deserving of someone better.
"Because of love," Qiao Duo’er said with a faint smile, just like Lu Kejun, who had been running around for Luo Qingfeng.
Lu Kejun sighed, "Love is such a troublesome thing, yet you can’t escape it once you grow up."
Like her, she never imagined she would fall for someone so easily.
"It’s quite troublesome, but it also feels sweet," Qiao Duo’er said.
As someone who had been through it, Qiao Duo’er had a deeper understanding of the word ’marriage.’
Since she had Tan Zhenghong, she had lost the freedom she once longed for and had endured childbirth, a pain she had never anticipated.
But because it was Tan Zhenghong, she felt that everything was worth it.
Lu Kejun pressed her lips together, because, up to this point, she hadn’t felt that way.
The scholars from the surrounding villages, upon hearing the news of Zhang Ziwen’s return, all came to visit together on the afternoon of the second day.
As educated men, it would have been a source of ridicule had they not come for Zi Wen, a former classmate.
The Feng Clan harbored opinions against these people, but guests were guests, and she courteously led them into the courtyard.
Among this group, the leader was Shi Yongli, the man who had passed the scholar examination following Zhang Ziwen.
"Auntie, we came over as soon as we heard that Brother Zi Wen had returned; thank heavens, he’s safely back," Shi Yongli said earnestly.
But his earnestness was only on the surface, more akin to an act.
