"But it's hard to deal with the peasant in my family! Sigh!"
Outside the door, Zhou Ziyin, who came with Qin Ge after get off work in the evening, stopped knocking on the door awkwardly, turned his head and glanced at Qin Ge, the "peasant" next to him.
Qin Ge's expression was unclear, and he made a shushing gesture: "Don't knock, wait a little longer."
Shengxia inside the door had no idea that the "peasant" she was talking about was right outside. After eating and drinking her fill, she occupied most of Ms. Chen's luxury confinement bed and began to complain.
Zhang Jingwen couldn't stop laughing: "Mud-legged? Haha, what does that mean?"
"In my hometown, the children are all from hard labor, and they are rude and unreasonable. In our county, if a child doesn't obey, the parents will beat him up. Qin Ge treated me like that. From my college entrance exam, to studying abroad, to working at the Second Hospital, he arranged everything. If I didn't do what he said, he would beat me without blinking an eye."
"Will he really hit you? But Qin Ge doesn't look like a man who would hit others, so why didn't you call the police?"
Zhang Jingwen was filled with righteous indignation. She has always had zero tolerance for domestic violence.
Sheng Xia coughed twice: "Uh... But if he hits me, I will hit him back too. We're two people, so of course, you two are different! If Zhou Ziyin dares to hit you in the future, tell me, I will let Qin Ge fire him, and then find someone to beat him to a pulp to avenge you!"
Outside the door, Zhou Ziyin felt an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck. Then he heard his wife ask in surprise, "What? Are you two still fighting?"
"No." Sheng Xia said: "When he hits me, he hits me in one place, but when I hit him, it's different. I hit him all over his body!"
Speaking of this, Shengxia felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head: "Now that I think about it, it seems that I haven't suffered any loss."
Zhou Ziyin wanted to plug his ears at this moment. He really didn't want to hear his boss's... boudoir stories at all! But... he unconsciously glanced at Qin Ge beside him.
It turns out that this is how Qin Ge got those scratches on his brow and neck.
As expected, he could hit someone with a wine bottle and make him need more than 20 stitches. It seems that this guy is really not someone to be trifled with.
Zhang Jingwen naturally didn't know how Shengxia used all her hands and feet to greet Qin Ge in a hurry. Just thinking about the huge physical difference between Shengxia and Qin Ge, she felt that Shengxia must be saying this to comfort her.
She said sympathetically, "I didn't know your life was so hard! If he hit you, would it hurt? How could you resist?"
Women who have just given birth are always very emotional, so Shengxia had to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay! And when I cry, he doesn't dare to touch me. It's not that painful. A lot of the time I just pretend! I cry super loudly on purpose, and he's afraid of hurting me, so he gets very nervous, haha."
After hearing this, Zhang Jingwen felt that the way these two people interacted was quite different from what she had previously imagined. She sighed, "...I didn't realize you two had so many... unique... ways of interacting privately. I thought you were always so loving!"
"Even the most loving couples will have arguments. You'll understand once you've been married for a while. Take Qin Ge, for example. He's incredibly chauvinistic! He's so unreasonable, so overbearing and authoritarian. He always makes decisions without consulting me, and then he absolutely loves to exploit my human rights. He's like an ancient official!"
Outside the door, Zhou Ziyin sensitively felt the ominous atmosphere of the people around him. He wanted to cough quickly to remind the people inside not to continue "too" much, but unexpectedly, Shengxia changed the subject: "But I also know who I am."
"I grow crooked easily."
Zhang Jingwen was puzzled: "You? No, I thought you were very good when I was studying in the United States."
"Really?" Shengxia turned her head and asked back.
"Eh..." Zhang Jingwen was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, it seemed that aside from a few of Shengxia's close friends, most people found her difficult to get along with. She was arrogant and conceited, and she often had to be given her way before anyone else. The main problem was… Shengxia simply lived her life too freely! While this personality wasn't wrong, it often made it difficult for those around her to cope.
"Qin Ge knows about these minor flaws. He never asks me to change them. He even helps me and makes the best decisions for me on major issues. I know in my heart, just like now, if it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have a proper job in my life and met people like you. If it were in the past, it wouldn't be you, a talented graduate from the University of Berlin, who would come to persuade me. It would definitely be them, urging me to go to Qin Ge to get some money, have a drink, play cards, and have some fun..."
As Shengxia was talking, she suddenly felt a little sad. She supported herself on the bed with her hands and looked at the ceiling.
Zhang Jingwen didn't quite understand what he said next, but based on her observations in the United States, Qin Ge was so tolerant of Sheng Xia that it was even a little excessive.
"Qin Ge treats you very well. I can see that. This isn't a quarrel; it's clearly flirting!"
Zhang Jingwen picked up a piece of mushroom and lettuce with chopsticks and finished eating. She saw Shengxia still looking at the ceiling as if she was lost.
"But I had something very important to tell him, so I lied to him..."
Zhang Jingwen chewed and asked incoherently, "What's the important thing?"
"It's something I never want to tell him in my entire life, but if I don't, I always feel that it's unfair to him, too unfair. Even I feel that if I really hid it from him for my entire life, I would be such a piece of shit! But I'm also afraid. I'm afraid that if he finds out, he'll think I'm... pretty bad..."
