Chapter 173 Xia Wanyang's unreasonable behavior
For the next period of time, Xia Wanyang followed her mother to look at houses whenever she had nothing to do. After discussing it over, the two of them bought five or six three-story buildings.
During the summer vacation, Xia Wanyang only had over 400,000 yuan left in her space. She didn't want to touch the jewelry for the time being, as she wanted to leave them for Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Yueyue to inherit. Looking at the dwindling money, Xia Wanyang sighed helplessly.
The hotel can’t be completed until next year at the earliest, and the money earned by then will have to be paid back to the bank first. If Zhang Shiye wants to fill up the space boxes quickly, he said it will take at least three years.
Looking at his wife with a pouting face, Zhang Shiye felt that she was so adorable. She looked like a money-grubber every day. Although it was already the 1980s, there were still only a handful of people with an annual income of ten thousand yuan. She didn't even care about a few hundred thousand yuan. Her appetite was really huge!
"Wife, why don't we go to the south again and bring back some electrical appliances? Ding Yi has come to Shanghai anyway, so I can apply for a license and open an electrical appliance mall. How about that?"
Xia Wanyang swept away the previous haze, pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, okay, there will be no risk at that time, we can sell it directly, you go and book the tickets, I'll go pack my things, we'll leave today!"
Zhang Shiye held his forehead and laughed softly, "Wife, you have such an impetuous and impulsive personality. I still haven't adapted to your behavior even after so many years of marriage!"
Xia Wanyang's smile froze on her face. "What do you mean? You can't adapt to my personality. Do you want to change your wife?"
Zhang Shiye raised his head suddenly and saw his wife sitting opposite him with red eyes. He was instantly scared and broke out in a cold sweat. "No, honey, I don't mean that. I wouldn't dare to do that even if you gave me the courage!"
Xia Wanyang's thick eyelashes were all wet, and she pouted and said, "If you dare, you want to change it, right?"
Zhang Shiye felt very aggrieved. "How could you misinterpret my meaning like this? Honey, besides the money issue, is there anything else that makes you unhappy recently?"
Xia Wanyang didn't know what was wrong. After so many years of marriage, Zhang Shiye had always praised her and indulged her, which also made her temper worse. She would be very sad when he suddenly said something bad about her.
"You're the one who made me unhappy. You said I was impetuous and irritable, and that I believed everything I heard!"
Zhang Shiye quickly smoothed her over and held her arm, "I'm just a jerk, it's my fault, please stop being angry, okay? What if you get angry and make yourself sick?"
Xia Wanyang pushed his arm away, "Don't touch me, I mean well. I'm worried that something might happen to the restaurant and I don't have money. I'm anxious to make money. What's wrong with that? Why do you say that about me? Why did you marry me because you dislike my shortcomings? You should marry someone without any shortcomings!"
After saying that, she hurriedly wanted to run away. How could Zhang Shiye let her cry like this and stay alone? He took two steps and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly from behind, "Where are you going? I have admitted my mistake. Can you please forgive me? Besides, when did I say that you were impetuous? I meant that what I said was just a suggestion.
Besides, even if I go at the earliest, it will be tomorrow. You have to give me time to explain to Ding Yi. How can I just leave without saying anything?
Besides, my wife has no shortcomings. She is the most beautiful, lovely and kind girl. Where can you find a woman better than you?
Please forgive me, okay? If you are still angry, punish me by making me kneel on the washboard for as long as I want!"
Xia Wanyang sniffed, her voice still nasal from crying, "Are you speaking from your heart?"
Zhang Shiye kissed the tip of his ear that had turned pink due to anger, "Of course, these words are more valuable than real gold. If you don't want me anymore, then I can only die directly. What's the point of starting a business without you? Who will I spend my money on?"
Xia Wanyang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "There are also sons and daughters!"
Zhang Shiye teased her, "Without you, where would my son and daughter come from? You gave birth to them for me. The mother of the child doesn't want the father anymore, and the child has become an orphan!"
Xia Wanyang turned around and buried her face in his hot chest. "I'm sorry, husband. I don't know what happened to me. Why did my mood change so quickly?"
Zhang Shiye kissed the top of her furry head and said, "It's okay. Whatever my wife says is right. My baby is the cutest even when she loses her temper~"
Xia Wanyang twisted her body and said sullenly, "Slippery tongue!"
In order to make amends to his angry wife, Zhang Shiye went to the construction site in the afternoon to inform Ding Yi that he would be away for a while and that they could talk when he came back if there was anything.
Ding Yi hesitated, "Boss, I heard some rumors recently that a high-ranking official's son named Hu has set his sights on your construction site and wants to..."
Zhang Shiye frowned slightly, "His surname is Hu? Who is his father?"
Ding Yi gritted his teeth and said two words: "Secretary Hu."
Zhang Shiye smiled, "The one who caused me the most trouble in doing this was this guy named Hu. He saw that the outline was built and wanted to reap the benefits, didn't he?"
Ding Yi didn't say anything.
Zhang Shiye asked again: "How did you know? How long have you been in Shanghai? How come you are so successful?"
Ding Yi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Boss, you were busy with school and haven't been here for a long time. There are many people who want to work in the hotel in the future. They came to me when you were not here. The girlfriend of a younger brother named Hu wanted to apply for the job. I ignored her, so she told me about it and used it as a token of her loyalty to ask me to arrange a leadership position for her!"
Zhang Shiye: "So what did you say?"
Ding Yi snorted in disdain, "I told her I'm not the boss, so my words don't count. I've been running around for this matter for several times. She just left before you came, and she came to stop you. I told her you were away on a long trip and wouldn't be back for ten days or half a month, so I sent her away."
Zhang Shiye patted his shoulder and said, "You did a good job. You don't have to worry about it. I know what's going on."
On the way home, Zhang Shiye kept feeling his eyelids twitching. He hadn't had this feeling in many years. The last time his eyelids twitched was when Xia Wanyang injured his arm.
After returning home, Zhang Shiye did not mention this matter to make Xia Wanyang worry, but just told her that they would leave in the evening and go to Gangcheng this time.
Xia Wanyang saw that Zhang Shiye was in a bad mood, "Hubby, is there something wrong with you?"
Zhang Shiye's heart skipped a beat. "I didn't do that. What could have happened? I'm just worried that you haven't completely forgiven me!"
Xia Wanyang hugged his waist from behind, and gently pressed her face against his back, "I really forgive you. It's my fault for losing my temper. Thank you for tolerating my bad temper!"
Zhang Shiye gently turned his face to the side, put his cheek between Xia Wanyang's hair, and said softly: "Don't say such silly things anymore, you are my wife, and I am not marrying just the gentle, virtuous, filial and kind you, but the complete and real you.
No matter what your temper and personality are, you are always my beloved baby and the mother of our children. This is not tolerance, but a matter of course. Do you understand?"
The two of them hugged each other for a long time. After dinner, they went to their parents' house before packing up and preparing to leave for the train station.
What happened afterwards made Xia Wanyang seem to see Zhang Shiye’s previous life, the life of Zhang Shiye that she had never been involved in.
