Chapter 100 Auntie, this is my boss
After being surprised, the old lady clicked her tongue in her heart. She never expected that this tall guy was just a paper tiger.
She has seen a lot of people like this. After getting married, eight out of ten men will become henpecked. They will do whatever their wives say and will be dominated by their wives.
But this big fool is lucky, the young lady he just saw is extremely pretty, there are only a few like her in the whole Jingxi Town!
Zhou Ye was a man of few words to begin with. He replied to the old lady and then said nothing more. He waited in line in silence like most people.
But the old lady couldn't sit still. She came for a follow-up checkup for her old leg problem. She was in good spirits, but her mouth couldn't stay still at all. After all, she almost became a matchmaker back then.
The person sitting behind her in the queue was an old man with a sad face. As soon as the old lady saw his sad face, she knew that he was not someone she could talk to.
She could only chat with the tall man in front of her.
"Hey, young man, I think you and that young lady are a perfect match. How did you two meet? Your wife is so pretty. You are so lucky!"
Zhou Ye didn't want to talk much with others, but this lady kept saying that he was a perfect match, that he was not only a daughter-in-law, but also a very lucky man. Even a calm man like him was aroused to say a few more words to this lady.
"Auntie, I can't call her my wife yet. She'll be mad at me if she hears that. I can only change my mind after we get married."
aunt:……
They said you would become a henpecked husband in the future, but you're already a henpecked husband even before you get married.
"So how do you two know each other?" the old lady asked curiously.
Zhou Ye was silent for a moment, not telling the truth, "We are from the same village."
"From the same village?" The old lady shook her head, a shrewd glint in her eyes. "If you were childhood sweethearts who knew each other since childhood, you wouldn't look at each other like this. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Don't try to fool me with such lies."
Zhou Ye paused for a moment, not going into detail, and simply said, "Auntie, you have good eyesight. It's true that I've only known Ah Shu for a short time. She didn't live here before and only came back recently."
The old lady clapped her hands immediately and said, "That's right! I can tell from the way you two are acting that you're in love. It's not like childhood sweethearts at all."
Zhou Ye's face turned slightly red after hearing her words.
The old lady showed an expression of someone who had been through it all, and said to him with a smile, "I'm a very good judge of people. You must treat your wife better in the future. Not just for the warm moment, but for the long term. I knew the moment I took one look at her that she was the kind of delicate flower who needed to be coaxed and pampered!"
Zhou Ye's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at the front of the team. The team was still lined up in the alley, but the figures of Ashu and the other two had disappeared long ago. He could not see the scene on the other side of the street. Perhaps Ashu and the others were attracted by some shop and had already gone into that shop.
Zhou Ye lowered his voice and humbly asked, "Auntie, could you tell me more? For example, how to comfort her when she's angry, and how to tell if she's really mad at me or just pretending to be mad. Sometimes I get really upset because I don't know why she's angry for no reason. Sometimes I seem to understand, but before I even start to comfort her, she suddenly calms down..."
After hearing his long list of questions, the old lady's mouth gradually opened wide.
Hiss, it's destined that this big fool will marry the beauty. Just based on this beauty's pretentiousness, most men would have been unable to stand it, but it's not an exaggeration to say that this big fool in front of him is happy to accept it. Not only does he accept it all, he is also willing to give in and indulge the other party.
The old lady originally just wanted to find someone to chat with to kill time waiting in line, but she didn't expect that this big guy actually won her favor. After all, there are more and more cunning people these days, and such honest men are very rare.
"Boy, you're lucky to have met me today. I can guarantee that no one understands women better than me, especially a delicate girl like this..."
The old lady chattered on and on, sharing all her experiences with Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye listened carefully and frowned unconsciously.
There is so much knowledge here?
After a while, he shook his head. "Ah Shu is not the kind of person you say she is. She won't make trouble for no reason. If she is angry, she must have her reasons. But thank you for telling me so much, Auntie."
The old lady scoffed inwardly, "What do you know, you big fool?" The young lady looked very young, so she might be quite skilled. It must be because she liked you that she didn't keep you hanging and gave you an answer early.
But she didn't dare say that, because the big fool would definitely get angry if he heard it.
After Zhou Ye expressed his gratitude, he did not chat with the woman anymore, and even felt a little regretful for mentioning A Shu to her just now.
He found that he could not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Ah Shu.
Although the old lady didn't say anything bad about Ah Shu, her words inadvertently revealed that Ah Shu was the kind of woman who would be pretentious and unreasonable in order to get other people's attention.
The old lady may not have meant it, but she was kind enough to share her experience.
But Zhou Ye still didn't like it.
He didn't like others saying anything bad about Ah Shu, even if it was just to classify her as a certain type of woman.
Ah Shu is Ah Shu. There is no one in this world who is the same as her, and it is not appropriate to classify them into the same category.
The old lady looked at the "high wall" in front of her, and her whole body seemed to exude an aura that kept strangers away. She was immediately amused by this big guy.
Who was it that had just humbly asked her for advice? He turned his face away in the blink of an eye.
Well, your kindness is being taken for granted. If you marry this young lady in the future, you will suffer!
With no one to talk to, time passed much more slowly. Especially since Zhou Ye was a busy person, it was particularly difficult for him to be idle for a while.
But Zhou Ye didn't let himself be idle for too long. He briefly relaxed for a while, then began to find things to do. He couldn't do it with his hands, but he could think about it in his mind.
Zhou Ye first reviewed the new Chinese characters Ah Shu had taught him yesterday, going over them in his mind stroke by stroke. Then he thought back to the diagram Ah Shu had drawn of the bamboo rocking chair, comparing it with the previous drawing of the bamboo lounge chair. Although he hadn't even started making the bamboo rocking chair yet, he had already gone over the steps in his mind several times.
Thanks to Ah Shu, he checked his hands after waking up this morning. His burned palms hadn't blistered, and the burning sensation had completely subsided. He could get back to his bamboo work today. He'd try to finish the bamboo rocking chair and teapot Ah Shu had requested today and tomorrow. Li's Noodle Soup Shop had ordered ten more jars of chicken mushroom sauce. The mountain behind them wasn't big, so if they couldn't gather enough, they'd go deeper into the mountains. He'd take Ah Shu with them then. Ah Shu had already mentioned wanting to explore the mountains...
Zhou Ye was silent, but his mind was thinking about many things and he had no time to relax.
He didn't know how long this went on, but suddenly he heard footsteps approaching him.
Although there were people walking around and the noise was noisy, he keenly noticed that the footsteps were different from the others and were coming straight towards him.
Zhou Ye put aside all the random things in his mind. He looked up and found that he had reached the end of the queue in the street market without knowing when, and was able to take in the scene of the street market.
He suddenly turned his head and met Lin Shu's eyes.
Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment, "Ashu?"
Lin Shu walked lightly towards Zhou Ye, intending to scare him by getting close to him. However, Zhou Ye, who had been standing there for a long time without moving his head, suddenly looked towards her, and even seemed to have noticed her. His gaze fell right on her, without a single miss.
Lin Shu felt quite regretful. She trotted over, looked at him, and snorted, "Aye, tell me the truth, do you have eyes on the side of your forehead? Otherwise, how could you see me at a glance?"
Zhou Ye was still surprised and didn't bother to answer her. "A Shu, why did you come back alone? It's still early here. I have to wait at least another hour."
Lin Shu was empty-handed, having apparently asked He Guixiang to take the bamboo basket. She approached Zhou Ye, stood side by side with him, and whispered, "I was worried you'd be bored queuing alone, so I came to keep you company."
The "ah" sounded soft and sweet, as if someone was pinching a piece of dogtail grass and scratching Zhou Ye's heart with the fluffy grass, making him feel itchy.
"I'm not bored. I was just reviewing the calligraphy you taught me yesterday. And the bamboo rocking chair, I've already made several in my mind. When I get to try it, I'm sure I'll be more proficient than when I made the bamboo lounge chair."
Lin Shu muttered "idiot" and took the initiative to reach out and hold his arm.
Zhou Ye's arm trembled suddenly, "A Shu?"
"Only when I hold your arm do people know we're together. Otherwise, if I stand shoulder to shoulder with you, people will think I'm trying to cut in line. Do you think you'd be a bit slow?"
Zhou Ye lowered his head and glanced at her slender white hand on his arm. He felt that the sun above his head seemed to be a little hotter, causing beads of sweat to break out on his forehead.
"Ashu, come over here, I'll block the sun for you."
"Pfft, you are tall and strong, you can really act as a wall." Lin Shu took his kindness and walked around between Zhou Ye and the woman behind him. She even smiled shyly at the woman behind her while borrowing the way.
Lin Shu changed her position and continued to hold Zhou Ye's arm. In the eyes of others, they looked like an intimate young couple.
The old lady at the back who was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food: ...
Hey, why is this young lady different from what she thought?
He was actually smiling at her just now, and his smile was so sweet.
Looking closer, this young lady looks even more beautiful!
The old lady had previously thought that this girl was the type to smile sparingly, and that even if she did, it would only be for her beloved. No one would likely bother with a woman like her with wrinkles on her face. After all, women who pride themselves on their beauty are more or less arrogant.
Unexpectedly, the man smiled at her as soon as he came. That shy yet friendly smile was so sweet that it melted her heart.
The old lady immediately changed her mind. Not long ago, she thought that the big fool would suffer in the future, but now, she felt that he was a flower stuck in cow dung.
After all, this big fool looks like he has no sense of romance!
Lin Shu noticed the increasingly obvious gaze behind her, looked back suspiciously, and asked, "Auntie, do you have something to ask?"
The lady's gaze was so hot that it could burn a hole in her back.
Zhou Ye's whole body tensed up, and he felt inexplicably guilty.
The old lady quickly replied, "No, no, I'm just curious and want to ask, who is this tall guy to you?"
Lin Shu replied openly, "Auntie, this is my job."
Auntie: Oh, this little girl is so comforting! Look, she’s not shy at all!
