Chapter 150 Daily Life of Couples 3
Zhou Mingshi set off at nine o'clock in the morning, and the two of them got off the bus at noon to have lunch. They arrived in Changping at around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Grandma Lin was the only one at home. The pharmaceutical factory was already laying its foundation, and Lin Yi'an and the others were busy working there.
When Grandma Lin saw her grandson-in-law arrive, she smiled and asked him, "Bao'er, why didn't you tell me you were coming today? I would have had someone cook for you."
Zhou Mingshi said awkwardly, "She doesn't know, Grandma, there's no need to cook. We ate lunch on the way."
Grandma Lin scolded, "This child, why didn't you say you were coming?"
As Assistant Chen unloaded things from the car, he explained to his boss, "President Zhou wants to surprise his wife."
Zhou Mingshi stared at him.
Grandma Lin didn't understand young people, so she just said "Oh".
Zhou Mingshi looked around and asked, "Grandma, where's Yi'an?"
Grandma Lin: "The old clinic has been demolished, and Bao'er's pharmaceutical factory has been built there. Bao'er is busy working there. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Let's go take a look."
Grandma Lin: "You guys go ahead."
There was a pond behind the old clinic. They were going to build a factory, so the pond had to be filled in. The pond was full of water, and the villagers said there were many fish, shrimp, and loaches in it. So Lin Yi'an had the water drained and the fish and shrimp caught and shared among everyone.
By this time, the water had been drained, and many crayfish had escaped. Liu Zhengying picked up the crayfish inside, while Lin Shuhe, who liked to catch fish, also went down despite his limp.
Seeing him stumbling along, Zuo Mingyang took off his shoes and socks and went down to help.
Lin Yi'an carried a bucket along the shore, using fire tongs to pick up any crayfish that were close by and put them into the bucket.
Zuo Mingyang couldn't help but laugh as he watched her movements: "You used to like catching crayfish like this when you were little too."
Lin Yi'an straightened up: "Why are there so many crayfish inside?"
Zuo Mingyang said, "It came from the river over there."
Lin Shuhe laughed and said, "The crayfish are at their fattest and most delicious in May. I'll cook tonight, and Mingyang, come over for a drink?"
Zuo Mingyang said happily, "I must come and drink the wine here, Uncle Lin."
With alcohol to drink, Zuo Mingyang picked up the wine even more enthusiastically.
When Zhou Mingshi arrived, they had already collected a bucket of crayfish and a bucket of fish.
Lin Yi'an poured some out and handed it to Zuo Mingyang: "Take these back with you."
Zuo Mingyang laughed and said, "Come over for dinner tonight. You don't need to give me any; share it with the others."
As the two were talking, Lin Shuhe called out, "When did Mingshi arrive?"
Hearing his voice, Lin Yi'an looked up and saw the man walking towards her from the road. A smile bloomed on her face: "You've come?"
Zhou Mingshi greeted his parents-in-law first, then his gaze fell on Lin Yi'an, and he hesitated before asking, "Are you catching fish?"
Lin Yi'an pointed to the bucket: "They're picking up crayfish. There's mud everywhere here, so don't come any closer."
Zhou Mingshi glanced at his leather shoes: "It's nothing."
Liu Zhengying laughed and said, "Mingshi, don't come over here. Don't get your shoes dirty. Bao'er, you should go back too. Take some fish and crayfish back with you, and share the rest with the villagers."
My daughter has been staying at home for 10 or 20 days. The couple hasn't seen each other for so long, how could they not miss each other?
Didn't you realize it wasn't the weekend yet when you came over?
Lin Yi'an, carrying the bucket, said, "Then I'll head back now."
Liu Zhengying: "Go back."
The two sat in the car, and Zhou Mingshi tried to hold her hand, but she dodged it.
He was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yi-an said, "I just touched some fish and shrimp, so they smell a bit fishy."
Zhou Mingshi placed his hand on hers, slowly enveloping it: "I can't smell it."
Lin Yi'an smiled at him: "I don't believe you."
Zhou Mingshi laughed as well: "I really didn't smell it."
They arrived at their doorstep in just a few minutes. Zhou Mingshi led her out of the car and asked, "Want to go upstairs?"
Lin Yi'an glanced at him; it was obvious what he was going upstairs for. She looked at her watch: "It's almost four o'clock..."
Zhou Mingshi squeezed her hand: "We haven't been together for twenty days."
Lin Yi'an was pulled upstairs and into the bathroom by him.
As she emerged from the bathroom, she could hear her parents' and Zuo Mingyang's voices downstairs. They were lying in bed, and Zhou Mingshi was holding her in his arms. They were both naked under the covers, which made her feel a little embarrassed...
She said, "Mom and Dad are back, shall we go downstairs?"
He already did it in the bathroom, so he probably doesn't want it that way anymore.
Zhou Mingshi said lazily, "Let's rest for a while."
Just as Lin Yi'an was about to speak, her phone rang. She nudged him and said, "Help me get my phone."
Zhou Mingshi reached out and handed her her phone.
She answered the phone: "Is it your sister-in-law calling?"
As she spoke, she answered the phone and stepped out of his arms. He was slightly annoyed and pulled her back: "You answer the phone, I won't bother you."
Lin Yi'an glanced at him, then obediently lay in his arms to answer the phone: "Sister-in-law!"
Yan Shuyan's excited voice came through the phone: "An'an, do you know what I just saw?"
Lin Yi'an: "What did you see?"
Yan Shuyan: "I ran into He Xishan and her younger brother when they came to work at the company. Wasn't her brother taken abroad by his parents? Have they come back? I wonder if the third brother knows about this?"
Lin Yi'an's eyes widened: "He Xishan's younger brother isn't an adult yet, is he? When he comes back, his parents should be back too. I wonder what Zhou Mingyuan will do?"
Zhou Mingshi chimed in from the side: "Zhou Mingyuan called the police, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were taken in for questioning."
Upon hearing Zhou Mingshi's voice, Yan Shuyan paused and asked, "Mingshi is next to you?"
Lin Yi-an: "He arrived around 3 o'clock."
Yan Shuyan clicked her tongue inwardly and said, "Then you guys are busy, I won't bother you anymore, we'll talk again when we have time."
Lin Yi'an: "......"
Yan Shuyan chuckled: "I'm hanging up."
Lin Yi'an put down her phone and said to him, "I don't know who said they wouldn't disturb me while I was on the phone."
Zhou Mingshi raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you talking about the third brother? Let me clear things up for you."
Lin Yi'an asked him, "Did Zhou Mingyuan really call the police? And He Xishan agreed to it?"
Zhou Mingshi wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him: "He has already called the police. Whether his wife agrees or not, it obviously can no longer affect him."
Lin Yi'an sighed, "It seems Zhou Mingyuan has suffered a lot this year and knows how hard it is to make money. If they hadn't moved out, he might not have called the police."
Zhou Mingshi: "He learned his lesson from his mistakes; he was too well protected before."
Lin Yi-an: "I just don't know if their marriage can continue."
Zhou Mingshi said, "The fact that the third son chose to call the police shows that their marriage is no longer his top priority."
Lin Yi'an looked up at him: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Mingshi tapped her nose: "If marriage were the most important thing to him right now, he wouldn't have called the police so quickly. He would have considered his wife's feelings. The third brother treats his wife well, but something else may have happened that changed their relationship."
Lin Yi-an: "Men understand men."
Zhou Mingshi said, "If a man truly loves his wife, how could he let her become distant from him, thus creating a rift in their marriage?"
What he didn't say was that maintaining a relationship requires the joint efforts of both people. If the third brother's wife didn't agree to call the police, what would the third brother think?
