Chapter 44 Straight Man's Coaxing
Xin Li really doesn't have that ability.
But she has space!
With so many treasures inside, surely there's no survival tool at all?
Moreover, Xin Li could tell that He Mingzhou lost his composure because he was worried about her.
But can't this jerk just speak properly?
Why be so fierce? You really don't treat her like a girl at all!
"He Mingzhou! I'm your wife, not your grandson! Don't try to lecture me!"
"I was even thinking of having Sister Lu cook crabs for us since I don't know how, so you could have a good meal. It seems you don't need it at all!"
After saying that, Xinli threw the bucket aside and went straight upstairs.
When Zhang Jinhua opened his mouth to call out to Xin Li, she had already vanished in a flash.
"Oh, look at you!"
"You really have a stubborn temper. Everyone brought over such big crabs, and we were planning to have a good meal tonight. Why are you getting so angry for no reason!"
He Mingzhou felt a little regretful when he saw Xin Li run away.
Having spent so much time in the military, he's become accustomed to being serious and meticulous in his speech and actions.
They completely forgot that Ren Xinli was actually a pampered young lady.
"I……"
He Mingzhou wanted to explain himself.
But the words caught in his throat.
"What are you still arguing about!" Zhang Jinhua was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh when he saw that He Mingzhou couldn't even admit that he was wrong.
"I'm truly speechless. You treat that girl like this; she's really unlucky to have married you."
That's a pretty serious statement.
But this is enough to show that Xin Li is truly outstanding in Zhang Jinhua's eyes.
Otherwise, she would never have said that.
"She traveled all the way here to marry you, bringing her own dowry. Besides not knowing how to cook, what else can she do?"
"The people on the island have been making things difficult for you, both openly and secretly, because she married you. Xin Xin has been silently enduring all of this. When have you ever seen her complain to you?"
"You blockhead! This girl treated you so well, and you're still not satisfied? You even dare to yell at her. I've never seen such a wooden block as you."
"Alright, alright, I guess we won't be able to eat crabs. I'm going home now so I don't get angry just looking at you."
The Lu couple treated He Mingzhou like a junior, and He Mingzhou usually respected them very much.
Hearing what Sister Lu said, He Mingzhou lost his temper and quickly stopped her.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I was too impulsive just now. Could you please help me cook some crabs? I'll go upstairs to check on Xinli."
Seeing that He Mingzhou, who was usually as stubborn as a bull and never willing to back down, was actually willing to back down today, Zhang Jinhua felt a sense of relief in his eyes.
"Xiao He, don't blame your sister-in-law for favoring Xin Xin over you. Everyone says that married women have a miserable life, but do you think it's because they can't go back to their parents' home? Actually, it's because the situation of married women is miserable."
"Not being able to go back to my parents' home is secondary. After all, every year there are those poor people who go out to work for several years and don't come home. If you just endure the feeling of missing home, it will pass."
“But after a woman marries out, she has to spend the rest of her life in her husband’s family. People are not the same. After all, she is a woman who marries out. In her husband’s family, she is actually an outsider. Once a woman gets married, she is basically left with only herself. Xiao He, I know that your marriage was indeed a bit rushed, but since you are married, why can’t you try to get along well with him?”
"Ask yourself honestly, did Xin Xin really do anything wrong today? Didn't Zhang Chen's incident make you realize that everyone on this island is actually bullying Xin Xin? Why can't you try to see things from Xin Xin's perspective? She might be able to escape today, but can she escape tomorrow?"
"You should be glad she's a capable person, and even broke our stereotypes about her. Otherwise, you would really be worried. Can a delicate Shanghai heiress really adapt to life on an island?"
"She made things convenient for you and gave you face, so why are you blaming her?"
Zhang Jinhua's words came from the bottom of his heart.
After all, she genuinely regarded He Mingzhou as a junior and truly liked Xin Li, which is why she could say such things.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, she wouldn't bother saying so much.
She was convinced that He Mingzhou wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't listen to others without considering the facts, which is why she said so much.
He Mingzhou did not disappoint her. After hearing what she said, his expression gradually became serious and solemn: "I understand, sister-in-law."
"thank you."
Seeing that He Mingzhou was still listening to her, Zhang Jinhua sighed and said, "Good boy, relationships need to be worked out. We all know you're doing this for Xinxin's own good, and Xinxin is a very sensible girl. She must know this in her heart. But you can talk to her nicely instead of being so harsh. Girls care about their pride and need to be coaxed. Do you understand what I mean?"
He Mingzhou nodded.
"Then go ahead and see if you can coax Xinxin down."
He Mingzhou walked away with a stiff face.
Zhang Jinhua couldn't help but laugh when she saw him almost moving his hands and feet in unison because he was so nervous.
He Mingzhou seemed to hear it, and his limbs appeared even stiffer.
Afraid of upsetting He Mingzhou and scaring him away again, Zhang Jinhua covered her mouth and took the crabs to the kitchen.
These crabs were really big, and Zhang Jinhua was very excited.
She also felt a great sense of accomplishment from processing these crabs, so she sharpened her knife and soon smoke began to rise from the kitchen chimney.
...
Xinli calmed down not long after returning to her room.
Xin Li was well aware that He Mingzhou was worried about her safety.
She was angry only because of He Mingzhou's attitude.
That's why I shouted it out just now.
As a lord in the apocalypse, Xin Li had actually given He Mingzhou a lot of face.
If he hadn't been her type, she would have just said "let's get married" and run away.
This man is simply ungrateful for his good fortune!
Xin Li lay on the bed and started counting on her fingers. She had to teach He Mingzhou a lesson.
So she decided to ignore He Mingzhou for the next four hours.
As soon as she sat down to make the decision, Xinli heard a knock on the door.
Thinking it was Zhang Jinhua, she casually said, "Come in."
The bedroom door opened, and footsteps, barely audible, approached from afar.
Xin Li was a little puzzled. Was that how Zhang Jinhua walked?
She sat up in bed and turned to look at the door.
He Mingzhou stood awkwardly not far away, his hands hanging at his sides and his head slightly lowered, looking like a primary school student apologizing for making a mistake.
Xin Li didn't know why she felt like laughing, but she remembered her decision, so she turned her head away and ignored He Mingzhou.
Seeing this, He Mingzhou also became a little anxious, and blurted out what he had been rehearsing in his mind: "I'm sorry, I was rude just now. I was just worried that something might happen to you, so I spoke like that."
"You can hit me or yell at me, just stop being angry, okay?"
