Chapter 9 Bodhisattva Poetry
Zhou Jibai felt that he was incompetent.
My wife has suffered so much inhumane treatment. I was really incompetent in the first month of our marriage. I quarreled with her and sulked with her, but I did not investigate the truth of the matter.
On the contrary, it was the day before yesterday when Shi Huai cried for a long time in front of his grandmother. His grandmother was furious and furious before she investigated the matter thoroughly.
If grandma hadn't laid out the irrefutable evidence, he and Shi Huai wouldn't know how long the argument would continue.
No matter how much Shi Huai hated him, he would admit it. He deserved it because of his own fault. He could have helped Shi Huai get revenge sooner.
Zhou Jibai stood on the balcony, puffing away a cigarette, his posture weary. His blurred eyes stared straight ahead at the night before him, motionless.
Shi Huai wanted to go to Zhou Jibai's room to talk to Zhou Jibai. As soon as he walked into his bedroom, he smelled a faint smell of tobacco.
Her brows suddenly furrowed and she coughed as a reminder.
The familiar voice made Zhou Jibai subconsciously put out his cigarette. His magnetic voice was a little hoarse, "Wait a minute."
He waited until the smell of smoke on his body was blown away by the wind before he slowly walked out of the balcony.
I saw Shi Huai sitting on his chair, his watery eyes slightly raised to look at me, and then he smiled.
Seeing his wife's innocent smile, Zhou Jibai pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shi Huai nodded gently: "Yeah."
Zhou Jibai was worried that Shi Huai would smell the cigarette smoke, so he deliberately kept some distance from her. "It's already eleven o'clock, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Shi Huai's long eyelashes trembled, and shadows like butterfly wings fell under her eyes, as if there was something unspeakable that she wanted to say.
Seeing Shi Huai's somewhat embarrassed expression, Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hmm?"
"You, why are you so far away from me?" Shi Huai gathered his emotions, and finally focused his attention on the distance between the two of them separated by a large bed.
The long distance and unfamiliarity made Shi Huai feel a little uncomfortable.
Now that she has been reborn, she naturally wants to reconcile with Zhou Jibai.
But for some reason, the two of them are like the most familiar strangers, and their way of getting along is still so dull.
Zhou Jibai: "I smell of cigarettes, and I'm worried it might irritate you...and the child."
Halfway through his words, his eyes involuntarily fell on Shi Huai's flat belly.
Shi Huai: "Then just stand there, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, you say." Not sure if it was intentional, but Zhou Jibai used the respectful word "you".
It sounds like a mistake.
Shi Huai took a deep breath and thought about it. If the Zhou family took action and dealt with this mother and daughter neatly, it would not be enough to satisfy her.
In his previous life, his fate was partly his own fault, thanks to his greed for family affection and his sheer stupidity. He fell for the mother and daughter's cunning scheme, causing unrest in the Zhou family and ruining his reputation.
Now, she naturally has to personally send this mother and daughter into the abyss.
Her reputation was ruined in her previous life, so they will have to follow the same path in this life.
Shi Huai deliberately pretended to be a pitiful saintly little white flower. "After all, my mother has raised me for so many years. Can you let me celebrate her birthday before discussing this matter?"
Hearing his wife's plea, Zhou Jibai frowned and sneered, "Tomorrow I'll have grandma remove all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas from the altar at home. How about putting you up there?"
Shi Huai was choked: ...
Zhou Jibai was really amused by Shi Huai's words. Why didn't he realize before that Shi Huai could have such a compassionate heart like a Bodhisattva?
Who was the person who grabbed the lamp on the bedside table and smashed it on his head on the first night of his marriage?
Zhou Jibai's eyes revealed some obscure emotions as he stared at Shi Huai's face, then sneered in a low voice.
Shi Huai was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
The next moment, Zhou Jibai stood up and pinched Shi Huai's chin, forcing her to look up and look into his light golden amber eyes.
"Shi Huai, are you pretending to be weak and obedient? Or do you really not trust me, or do you not trust that our entire Zhou family will seek justice for you?"
Shi Huai's body shuddered, her long feathery eyelashes trembled slightly, and a shadow like a butterfly's wing spread under her eyes, making her look guilty and evasive.
She couldn't tell Zhou Jibai: "I was reborn, a few months before I died in childbirth. This time I'm determined to take back everything I lost."
"Didn't I apologize to you? Now that the truth is out, I know what happened that day was a misunderstanding. I won't pretend to be ignorant! I didn't say I didn't trust you or the Zhou family. What are you suspicious of?"
Shi Huai had a bad temper during her pregnancy, and not long after her rebirth, she heard Zhou Jibai's suspicion and distrust of her.
Although Zhou Jibai wanted to consider his own safety and get rid of these two troublesome worms as soon as possible, he did not understand the resentment and frustration he had experienced in his previous life.
She couldn't let Tang Xiaoling and her daughter escape easily.
She also wanted to make them both feel that life was worse than death and that they would be infamous for eternity.
Zhou Jibai frowned, looking at his wife's red eyes, and couldn't help but slowly loosen his hand. "You know what she did to you, but you still treat her well?"
Facing Shi Huai, Zhou Jibai was angry and distressed.
Shi Huai turned his little face away and muttered softly, "You don't understand."
"I really don't understand the mentality of you great saints." Zhou Jibai was really amused by Shi Huai. He personally applauded Shi Huai and said, "I have thought about your future career plan for you. Just be a ninja. I can guarantee that if you are number one, no one will dare to be second."
How could Shi Huai not hear the blatant sarcasm in Zhou Ji's vernacular?
Just call her a wimp in different ways! ?
"You, what do you care about me!" Shi Huai couldn't argue with Zhou Jibai, so he picked up a soft pillow from the bed and threw it at Zhou Jibai.
Zhou Jibai took the blow obediently, then glanced at Shi Huai with a faint look, "I'm just an ordinary person, a dandy bastard in the world, how can I care about the affairs of a fairy saint like you!"
After saying something sarcastic, Zhou Jibai slammed the door and left.
Shi Huai looked at his resolute back as he left, secretly clenched his fists, and shouted at the door: "If you have the guts, don't go home!"
She blurted out those words in a hurry, but she didn't expect the person at the door to actually respond to her. She shouted, "I'm incompetent! I'll go back! So what!"
This sentence made Shi Huai laugh. He didn't expect this bad guy to give in so quickly! ?
Although Zhou Jibai and I parted on bad terms tonight, Zhou Jibai will still pass this matter on to his grandmother and will help him complete it.
Just like in his previous life, Zhou Jibai would do his utmost to complete anything he wanted to do. He also never made things difficult for himself when it came to things he didn't want to do. It was just that the process was always tortuous.
Zhou Jibai tactfully told his grandmother about Shi Huai's thoughts. Old Mrs. Zhou was furious and could only utter one sentence in the end.
"I'm angry at their lack of fighting spirit, and I pity their misfortune." Then he waved his hand and sighed, "You, a scoundrel, are truly lucky to have married such a kind and beautiful wife. Just let your wife do what she wants."
"Perhaps in Shi Huai's eyes, after spending years with Tang Xiaoling, it's hard for her to let go. She's been drugged and confused. You absolutely cannot turn a blind eye."
"If those two people from her family try to get close to your wife again, beat them away with a big stick and don't let them get even a step closer."
"I understand." Zhou Jibai took his grandmother's advice to heart, agreed casually, and then got up and left.
"Where are you going?"
Zhou Jibai sighed, "I was driven out by your kind-hearted granddaughter-in-law. I'm going to find my elder brother."
When Old Lady Zhou thought about how her most spoiled grandson was completely subdued by Shi Huaizhi, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you looking for your eldest brother for so late at night? He rarely gets to rest and spend time with your eldest sister-in-law and niece. Go back and comfort your wife!"
"You don't understand this, I plan to give Shi Huai a surprise. I promise to make her smile tomorrow." Zhou Jibai said this with a look of confidence on his face.
Old Mrs. Zhou's mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes at him.
Why is she so unconvinced?
…
Zhou Xu, who had just coaxed his daughter to sleep and was about to go to bed with his wife, was suddenly interrupted by a ringing phone.
Ruoyu saw the note on the phone page, her cheeks flushed, and she pushed the man away with her soft hands: "Go down quickly... What if there is something I need from you?"
Generally, Zhou Xu would not be asked about trivial matters at night.
Zhou Xu could only sigh softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He kissed Ruoyu's forehead and said, "Wait a moment."
Ruoyu immediately buried her face in the quilt, not daring to look at Zhou Xu's affectionate eyes.
Zhou Xu answered the phone and hung up within three seconds. Then he casually put on a bathrobe and walked out.
When I walked out of the suite and came to the living room in the public area, I saw Zhou Jibai.
Zhou Xu didn't have much patience with his younger brother. "If you have something to say, tell me."
"Brother, don't be so heartless." Zhou Jibai stepped forward, "I do have a favor to ask of you."
"Let's talk about it after you wake up tomorrow." Zhou Xu knew it was definitely not a big deal when he saw Zhou Jibai's unruly and casual look.
Without even giving Zhou Jibai a glance, he turned around and was about to leave.
Zhou Jibai hurriedly stopped him: "It will only take a few minutes of your time. It won't interfere with your and your sister-in-law's rest. After all, I know how fast you can do this."
Zhou Xu's temples were throbbing wildly, and he wanted to punch Zhou Jibai like he did when they were little.
But considering that Zhou Jibai was about to become a father, he still gave him some face.
…
The next day, when Shi Huai woke up and walked out of the bedroom, she saw the servants in the house looking at her up and down with all kinds of eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Just when Shi Huai wanted to ask what happened, all the answers became clear when he went down the stairs.
The walls of the stairs, which originally displayed various authentic famous paintings, have all been replaced with her photos!
There was another portrait, depicting a saintly woman in flowing white, fresh and detached from the mundane world, enveloped in a soft, holy light. And that face was none other than his own!
Next to it is a character written with a strong and powerful stroke, which is bold yet beautiful and elegant.
【Bodhisattva Poem Huai】
Shi Huai knew who the culprit was even with his toes!
She thought Zhou Jibai's mischief was only on the stairwell, and was about to call the servants to remove the conspicuous calligraphy and painting. Unexpectedly, in the center of the first-floor living room, there was an even larger calligraphy and painting hanging, almost taking up the entire wall.
"Chow, cum, white!"
