Chapter 196 Whose lipstick mark?

Unable to go back during the Chinese New Year, Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan originally planned to go back during the following summer vacation, but Shen Guannan had something to do in the team, so he went on a mission.

Then there was no way back, and it was not until the summer of 1987 that I had some free time and vacation.

It has been seven or eight years since he last went back home. Shen Guannan feels guilty. His wife married him, but it is difficult for her to go back to her parents' home because of him.

So during the summer vacation, I asked the army for a month's home leave and prepared to return to Sichuan Province.

Lin Shuyin has been very busy in the past two years. Whenever she had money, she would buy a shop and open a store. However, she will not open one this year. She will save the money this year and open a dance hall next year.

She and Sarin each invested 100,000 yuan and jointly opened a large dance hall, with dancing on the first floor and singing on the second floor.

I guess I'm making a lot of money.

Then the year after next she wanted to buy a car.

How can you be the dean of a university without a car?

"Wife, let's stay for a few more days when we go back this time." Shen Guannan was packing his luggage.

Lin Shuyin waved her hands and said, "It will only take a week."

It's troublesome to stay for too long.

Shen Guannan, "Mom said on the phone that we can stay for ten days or half a month."

Lin Shuyin said, "Honey, it will only take a week. I have things to do in Beijing."

Shen Guannan glanced at her and said, "Okay~"

She never called him "husband" before. She always called him by his name or "dear". It doesn't make sense for my Counselor Shen to call him "husband".

In the 1960s and 1970s, no one called their husband "husband".

Later in 1980s, when Hong Kong dramas became popular, people started calling their husbands.

Shen Guannan really liked hearing her call her that.

"Well, just stay for a week."

Shen Guannan, "Mom said that my eldest brother and his wife moved to a big house, a villa, so we don't have to stay in a guesthouse when we go there anymore, we can just live at home."

Lin Shuyin, "My elder brother and his wife have made a lot of money following Zhou Jianguo in the past few years! They have moved into a bigger house, and I heard they even bought a car."

"Guan Nan, let's work hard for two years and buy a big villa and a car."

Lin Shuyin prefers SUVs to cars, but there don't seem to be any in China right now, and even if there are, she probably can't afford one.

Shen Guannan nodded and said with a smile, "Wife, I can't rely on you anymore. You can only rely on me to live in a big villa and buy a small car."

"You're the best in our family."

Lin Shuyin walked up to him and said, "For the first ten years after our marriage, I'll rely on you to live a good life, and for the next ten years, I'll rely on me to live a good life."

Shen Guannan, "What's next?"

Lin Shuyin said, "From now on, we will rely on your daughter and let her take care of us in our old age."

Shen Guannan: "I think it's good."

Lin Shuyin said, "Husband, you will improve our social status, and I will improve our quality of life. Let's divide the work and cooperate, ok?"

"Got it, Chief!"

Shen Guannan stood at attention and saluted.

Lin Shuyin hugged him, feeling a little emotional.

"Guan Nan, we have been married for fifteen years, and in five years it will be twenty years."

Shen Guannan also sighed, "Yes, I'm old."

He is 42 years old, not far from 50.

Lin Shuyin looked at him, touched his face, and flirted with him.

"You look good even when you're old."

“It tastes better when it’s older.”

Shen Guannan, "...You are just lustful."

Fortunately, he has a pretty face, otherwise he wouldn't be able to attract his wife. Lin Shuyin gave him a kiss on the face, "It's normal for people to be lustful. If you weren't lustful, you would be immortal."

Shen Guannan smiled and said, "My wife is right."

Siyu wanted to ask her mother to find some clothes, but she saw her parents hugging each other and quietly backing out. What a jerk these two were, they didn't even bother to close the door.

After a few minutes, I didn't know if he had finished hugging the baby. Siyu didn't want to go in, so he could only shout from the living room, "Mom!"

Lin Shuyin, "What are you doing?"

Siyu, "Where did you put my pink skirt?"

Lin Shuyin came out of the room and looked at the balcony hanging with

"Isn't it on the balcony?"

Siyu smiled and said, "Sorry, Mom, I didn't see it."

Lin Shuyin, "I admire you and your father. You call me when you can't find something, but you don't even look for it."

As soon as he came in, he called her "wife-in-law".

As soon as he came in, he called her "Mom".

Siyu came over and hugged Lin Shuyin, "Mom, you are the eldest in our family, dad and I listen to you."

Lin Shuyin, "Old man is bullshit, old mother is more like that."

Si Yu said, "Director Lin, how can you swear? You are the director of the music school, you should be elegant. How can you recruit students for your school if you are like this? And women should be less angry, otherwise they will get wrinkles."

Lin Shuyin, "It's time to grow up. It's time to grow up at this age."

She's thirty-five now, it's time for her to get wrinkles.

Si Yu gently touched Lin Shuyin's cheek and said

"Yes, but beautiful women can still look good with wrinkles."

When Lin Shuyin saw the lady saying "Oh my god",

"Who did you learn this from? Why are you so poor?"

This girl is too poor. She keeps saying nice things. She and Shen Guannan are not like that.

Si Yu raised an eyebrow, "Then why do we need to learn it? Isn't it innate?"

Lin Shuyin patted her and said, "Okay, stop being stingy and pack your bags quickly."

"OK."

Lin Shuyin looked at her daughter. She was quite tall, about 1.68 meters. She was fifteen years old this year. She should be able to grow to 1.7 meters, or 1.72 meters.

The family of three packed their luggage.

The next day we set off for Sichuan Province.

On the train, Lin Shuyin said, "Next time we'll go by plane."

Si Yu was surprised, "Plane"

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Yes, the plane."

Siyu said, "Okay, Mom, let's go to grandma's house again next summer. We'll go by plane."

Shen Guannan, "Next summer I will go to the beach and see the sea."

Siyu, "Are you going by plane too?"

Shen Guannan, "Ask your mother."

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Sit down."

Si Yu is looking forward to the arrival of next summer.

After one day and one night, we arrived in Sichuan Province.

Brother Lin, Lin Jianye, and Qian Xianghong came to the train station to pick us up, driving a small sedan, a Santana.

Lin Shuyin laughed and said, "Oh my, brother and sister-in-law, you bought a car!"

Lin Jianye smiled and said, "I bought one."

Qian Xianghong was very enthusiastic and helped to open the car door.

"Please take a seat."

Lin Shuyin and others got in the car and Lin Jianye started the car.

Shen Guannan asked, "Brother, how much is this car?"

Qian Xianghong sighed, "This Guannan car is really expensive. It cost 180,000 yuan. I felt so sad when your elder brother and I bought it. I advised your elder brother not to buy it."

"Your eldest brother said that it was inconvenient to go out without a car, so he bought one and spent all our savings."

Shen Guannan nodded, "It is indeed expensive."

You can buy two or three shops.

Lin Shuyin laughed, "I heard from mom that you guys bought a villa."

Qian Xianghong turned around and chatted with them, "We bought this second-hand villa and renovated it, but it cost a lot of money. We used up all our savings just to buy this villa and this car."

She didn't lie. She bought the house and the car and used up all their savings.

Lin Shuyin, "I have to buy one sooner or later. The children are getting older and can't always stay in one room. It's really convenient to have a car for going out."

Qian Xianghong, "Yes, your elder brother and I are thinking the same thing."

While chatting, we arrived at the villa they bought.

Shen Guannan took a look and said, "This looks very impressive!"

The second-floor villa, Lin Shuyin, "The yard is well-maintained."

Qian Xianghong led a few people and introduced them as they walked.

"Your eldest brother and I renovated this villa inside and out. It was abandoned before, and it cost a lot of money to renovate it."

"You can't save this money since you'll have to live here for the rest of your life."

"Yes, your elder brother and I thought so too, so we just let it go."

Lin's father and mother also came out to greet them. Lin's mother touched Siyu's hair and sighed, "I haven't seen Siyu for a few years, and he has grown so tall."

Lin Shuyin: "She has grown very fast in the past two years, just like pulling up green onions, she has been growing up quickly."

Father Lin, "You are old enough to grow up."

The group entered the house, and Qian Xianghong took out various snacks to entertain them, "Shuyin, have some tea."

Lin Shuyin, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry."

It turns out that money is a good thing. Now that her elder brother and his wife have money, her sister-in-law seems to be much kinder.

Lin's mother said, "It's really not easy for you to have time like this."

Shen Guannan was embarrassed, "Mom, I have something to do in the army. Siyu is in class except during the winter and summer vacations."

Lin's mother: "I understand you."

"What are they doing?"

Lin Jianshe and his wife Sarin came back once last summer.

Lin Shuyin, "That's it. Jianshe goes to work and Salin looks after the store. Oh, and Jianshe got promoted to director."

He was the deputy director before, and now he is the director.

Qian Xianghong smiled, "So you two are the same, both are directors."

Lin Shuyin, "The director of Jianshe is more important than me." Lin Jianshe works at the customs.

Brother Lin smiled, "They are all important."

"Among the five of us, only your two families have proper jobs. My eldest sister, my youngest sister, and I all run businesses."

Qian Xianghong said, "Shuyin and his wife are in the army, Jianshe is in the government, and we are responsible for doing business and making money."

According to her mother-in-law, the third and fourth of the five children were responsible for saving their face, while the three of them were responsible for saving the inside.

It is true that the third and fourth sons' families are well-known for their reputation. The second daughter is a teacher at school, and the son-in-law holds a high position in the army.

The fourth son works in the government, and his wife seems to no longer be in the art troupe, and has also opened a shop to do business.

Mother Lin was very satisfied with the situation. She asked, "Are we going to eat at home or go out?"

Qian Xianghong: "Let's go out and eat."

Mother Lin, "Then call Shuting and Shuyi and ask them to come over to eat together."

Qian Xianghong, "I'll call."

Qian Xianghong called everyone one by one

At this time, Zhou family.

Lin Shuyi held up Zhou Jianguo's white shirt and asked, "What's with the lipstick on the collar of this shirt?"

Zhou Jianguo sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. "What's going on?"

Lin Shuyi gritted her teeth and said, "I want to ask you, what's the matter with the lipstick on this shirt? Whose is it?"

Zhou Jianguo glanced at her and said impatiently, "How would I know who it belongs to? Who else could it belong to but you?"

Lin Shuyi's eyes were red. "I haven't seen you for a few days. You say it's mine? And I don't know how to wear this color of lipstick."

Zhou Jianguo didn't care, "Maybe someone accidentally touched it."

Lin Shuyi threw the shirt to the ground, "Who would accidentally rub lipstick on the collar of a man's shirt?"

Lin Shuyi already had the answer in her mind. She couldn't hold back her tears and said, "Zhou Jianguo, you went to find another woman, right?"

Zhou Jianguo took a puff of his cigarette and threw the butt into the ashtray. "It's nothing. Don't think too much about it."

Lin Shuyi pointed at him and said angrily, "You are a stubborn person. The evidence is right in front of you, but you still refuse to admit it!"

Zhou Jianguo raised his eyes and said, "I am a dog, what are you?"

Lin Shuyi, "You admit that you found a woman"

Zhou Jianguo: “No.”

Lin Shuyi questioned, "Who is she? Is she from the factory or a woman from outside? Who is she?"

Zhou Jianguo stood up and said, "I said no, so don't make trouble."

Lin Shuyi cried and screamed, "You promised me that you would not look for me anymore, why did you look for me, why did you treat me like this!"

Zhou Jianguo, "Nonsense!"

At this moment, the phone rang.

Zhou Jianguo went to answer it, "Okay, okay, Mom."

He hung up the phone and looked at Lin Shuyi, "Mom called and said my second sister and her husband are back and want us to come over."

Lin Shuyi lowered her head and covered her face, "Why did I marry you in the first place?"

"My second sister is the one who has foresight."

Zhou Jianguo laughed, "That's because your second sister doesn't know. If she knew, we would definitely be married."

Lin Shuyi sneered, "You don't even want to pretend anymore, right?"

Zhou Jianguo, "I'm telling you this. I'm telling you what happened at the time. Your second sister didn't know I liked her. Before I could tell her, she left."

Lin Shuyi curled her lips and said, "So what if I know? My second sister doesn't like you. She likes men like my second brother-in-law."

This remark was not ironic to Zhou Jianguo, who said, "Ten years ago, your second brother-in-law was awesome, but ten years later, look who is awesome now."

"Have you forgotten how happy your second sister was when you bought her a gold ring when we went there in 1984? Your second brother-in-law can't even afford a gold ring, so what's the point of having a high status?"

Lin Shuyi, "You are really good at flattering yourself. How do you know that others can't afford it?"

Zhou Jianguo: “It doesn’t matter.”

"Wife, let me tell you this. No matter what I do outside, it's not real. I will not divorce you and marry another woman. The position of Zhou family daughter-in-law will always be yours."

"You are the only one I, Zhou Jianguo, can be my wife."

"My money will only be passed on to our four children."

Lin Shuyi smiled and said, "Director Zhou, shouldn't I thank you? Thank you for giving me the position of daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. Thank you for keeping my position as daughter-in-law of the Zhou family forever."

Zhou Jianguo sighed, "Wife, don't you understand what I mean? I'm not sincere with them outside. I have no choice but to do it for the sake of the situation. If I don't do that, I won't be able to continue my business. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Shuyi shook his head, "I don't understand."

Zhou Jianguo, "Your sister Hongmin understands, but you and I have been married for many years and you don't understand. If you don't understand, can you at least understand me?"

Lin Shuyi, "Hongmin"

Zhou Jianguo, "As for Hongmin, she understands it better than you do."

Lin Shuyi nodded, Hongmin, Hongmin...

"Okay, don't be angry. Think about it. If I die one day, all my property will be yours. I was just playing around with those people out there."

"And I haven't slept with them." Zhou Jianguo said.

Lin Shuyi, "Why don't you sleep?"

Zhou Jianguo, "I hate it because it's dirty. I sleep with them if I'm sick. If I sleep with them, I might get sick myself. I'm not a fool."

"Wife, please understand me. I have no choice but to be like them. If they don't do business with me, our factory will not be able to operate."

"What about our children? They all need money to go to school, so where will you find the money for beauty treatments every year?"

"Believe me I didn't sleep with them!"

"I was so foolish that I slept with them. I felt dirty when they touched me. I couldn't do anything about it!"

"Wife, if it weren't for making money, I wouldn't want to go out. Isn't it better for me to stay at home with my wife and children?"

"I also drank with them and it gave me a stomachache."

Lin Shuyi, "What's with the lipstick marks?"

She is very conflicted now. She feels that what Zhou Jianguo said makes sense, but she also feels that Zhou Jianguo is deceiving her and telling lies. She doesn't know which one to believe.

Should I trust my intuition or trust him?

Zhou Jianguo looked sincere, "I drank too much yesterday and I was paralyzed. I lost consciousness. My wife, think about it carefully. If I really looked for him, would I be stupid enough to wear that shirt and go home?"

"I have other clothes in my suitcase. I can just throw this shirt away and bring back something else."

"Wife, use your brain to think about it."

Lin Shuyi was completely persuaded by Zhou Jianguo. Yes, the lipstick mark was so obvious. If Zhou Jianguo really had something to do, he would definitely not come here wearing it.

He's not going to divorce her, so why is he doing this? It's just a waste of time.

Lin Shuyi, "Did I misunderstand you?"

Zhou Jianguo, "You misunderstood from the beginning."

"Wife, why are you getting more and more stupid? Can you use your brain to think about things?"

Lin Shuyi, "You are stupid."

Zhou Jianguo opened his arms and hugged Lin Shuyi, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to look for someone else. I worked hard to earn money, and I spent it on someone else. I can't marry that woman home, so it would be a waste of money."

"My money is only for you and the children."

"I will not divorce you and marry another woman."

Lin Shuyi: "That's about right."

Zhou Jianguo, "Yes, go and clean up. My second sister and her husband are coming. Let's go eat."

Lin Shuyi, "You just said you wanted to marry my second sister."

Zhou Jianguo sighed, "Wife, that was my second sister-in-law, your sister. That happened many years ago. I only continued talking about it because you mentioned it. If you hadn't said it, would you have seen me mention it over the years?"

Lin Shuyi: "Got it. I'll go clean it up."

Lin Jianye and Qian Xianghong, who worked with Zhou Jianguo, both bought villas and cars, not to mention Zhou Jianguo himself.

The couple each had a car, a big villa, and a nanny.

Lin Shuyi went to take a shower and clean up. Zhou Jianguo exhaled. He looked at the shirt with a dark look in his eyes...

Some people are pushing their limits.
