Chapter 43: Lu Mingfeng is afraid of his wife
The two went back to rest. Lu Mingfeng said, "If I knew that a banner could change Dad, I would have bought one myself a long time ago. You don't know that Dad always puts my grandmother and my uncle's family first and never considers the feelings of the family."
Shen Jiale said, "It's not the banner that works, but the sense of honor behind the banner. Although it can temporarily make Dad look at you differently, his long-term thinking will not change completely because of a banner. When the excitement is over, he will return to his original state, unless you do something that makes him proud again."
"What should I do? I can't ask someone to send me a banner every once in a while, right?"
Shen Jiale said with a smile, "How can I do the same thing over and over again? Just let it go."
Lu Mingfeng wrapped Shen Jiale's little hand in his palm and said, "I'll listen to my wife."
"Are the rules in your family very strict?"
"My grandmother used to be the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. She married my grandfather after she fell into poverty. I just can't stand her style. She's so picky. No matter how glorious she was, it was all in the past. She only cares about Dabo and Lu Mingxuan. My family is poor, and she looks down on us the most."
Shen Jiale patted Lu Mingfeng's hand with his other hand and said, "Poverty is only temporary. You have surpassed Dabo's family now." Lu
Mingfeng thought Shen Jiale was talking about how he made money, and he shook his head embarrassedly, "That was because Brother Jing helped me. I can't make that much money on my own."
"That's because others saw your potential and strengths and were willing to promote you. Otherwise, they would just give you some money to express their gratitude."
In the past, Lu Mingfeng had never received compliments from others, but more from his father's disappointment and blow to him.
But his wife said that he was a man with strengths. This feeling of being recognized was really great!
Although he didn't think he had any strengths.
No, his biggest advantage now was that he married a good wife.
...
The two returned to their residence and saw Jiang Haoran carrying Zhao Meili's suitcase out.
It seemed that they had rented a house.
Zhao Meili looked at Shen Jiale and said, "You will regret it later."
Shen Jiale said, "Let's talk about it later."
When they were in the family compound, the two had a good relationship, and Zhao Meili wanted to persuade Shen Jiale.
Jiang Haoran said, "Comrade Zhao, you'd better stop talking. I tried to persuade her before, but I got beaten up. I'm disappointed. She is stubborn now. No matter how much you say, she won't listen."
Zhao Meili heard this and said angrily, "Shen Jiale, it's ok for you to not know people well, but how can you beat Jiang Zhiqing? Jiang Zhiqing is such a warm-hearted person. He is doing this for your own good. You have been led astray by this country bumpkin. You know... "
Lu Mingfeng was a little annoyed. How could he have brought bad things to his wife? He was about to lose his temper when Shen Jiale said, "I hope you know people well. Good luck to you."
The two entered the house. Lu Mingfeng said, "Jiang is full of bad intentions. It's obvious that he is targeting her. How can she care about you?"
Shen Jiale said calmly, "Some people are stubborn and think they are right. They will not wake up until they suffer a loss. Let her experience it herself."
...
In the middle of the night.
Lu Mingfeng kissed his exhausted wife and said, "I'm leaving. Get up and bolt the door before going back to sleep."
Shen Jiale waved her hand weakly, "Go quickly." If she stayed any longer, she was worried that her body would fall apart.
Seeing his young wife lying on the bed and refusing to get up, Lu Mingfeng picked her up and walked to the door, kissed her hard again, and then put her down.
Hearing the sound of the door being bolted, Lu Mingfeng left with peace of mind.
The next day, when the people from the Youth Institute got up, they saw Lu Mingfeng coming back from outside with a bag in his hand.
Li Cheng greeted him and said, "Brother Mingfeng, you're off work."
Now that he was married, he could no longer live in Brother Jing's house like before, so Lu Mingfeng told others that he was working the night shift.
Lu Mingfeng nodded and pushed the door of his house.
The door was closed.
Lu Mingfeng didn't knock on the door, but walked to the kitchen and took out the food in the bag to cook.
After the rice porridge was cooked, Lu Mingfeng went to the vegetable garden to pick fresh vegetables and washed them.
The female educated youths were envious when they saw him.
After coming back from the night shift, he was reluctant to wake up his wife and even cooked for her. How could Lu Mingfeng be different from what everyone said?
"It turns out that marriage can be so happy. It makes me want to find a man to marry." Wu Li said enviously.
Wang Yanhong said sourly: "It's just the freshness of the newlyweds. You can try to say this in a few months."
Sun Xiaoqin asked: "Zhao Meili doesn't live in the educated youth institute. Will she still eat with us?"
Tang Xiaotian said: "If she brings food, you cook. If she doesn't, you don't cook."
Lu Mingfeng fried the vegetables and eggs, and Shen Jiale opened the door.
"Wife, you're awake." He went into the house, scooped some water from a cup, and handed the toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed on it to Shen Jiale: "Wash up first, the food is ready."
After Shen Jiale finished washing up and went into the house, she smelled the fragrance of food.
"It smells so good."
"Wife, come and eat quickly. I'll go to work with you after you finish eating. It's cool in the morning, so do more work. It's hot in the afternoon, so don't go."
"You just came back, you don't have to go to work with me, just sleep at home."
Lu Mingfeng touched his beloved wife's head and said, "I'm not sleepy at all. If I feel sleepy, I'll come back and sleep."
He took out money from his pocket and put it in front of Shen Jiale: "I earned this last night. I bought rice, flour, and eggs and spent some of it. I have 15 yuan left. You keep it."
Shen Jiale put the money in the bowl, put an egg in it and put it in Lu Mingfeng's bowl, and Lu Mingfeng ate it happily.
The villagers who went to work saw that Lu Mingfeng had worked all night and still had to help his wife with work. Some praised him, while others said that Shen Jiale was ignorant. Lu Mingfeng gave them a cold look and immediately shut them up.
Lu Yongfu also heard about it. Just as he was about to look for his son, he was stopped by Liang Qiaoli.
"You know your son's temper. If he doesn't want to do something, no one can force him. It's rare to have someone who can make him listen. Do you want him to go back to his old ways?"
Lu Mingfeng was indeed not likable before, but he became much easier to talk to after he got married. Forget it. Even if he wanted to control him, his son might not listen to him.
At nine o'clock, the temperature slowly rose. Shen Jiale saw that Lu Mingfeng's eyelids were fighting, so he told him to go back to sleep.
Lu Mingfeng rubbed his eyes, cheered up, and wanted to continue working.
"Hurry up and go back to sleep." Shen Jiale said.
"Then you go back with me."
"I slept well at night and I'm not sleepy. Be obedient and go back."
"Then I'll sleep for a while and wait for you at noon when I'm ready."
"No, you go back to sleep right now, and you are not allowed to get up to cook."
"Yes, wife." Lu Mingfeng saluted mischievously and ran back.
The villagers joked: "It's different after getting married. It's still the wife's words that count."
"He doesn't want his wife to be tired, so he wants to help her do more."
"You see, Mingfeng listens to his wife. Once his wife says something, he immediately follows it."
"Who spread the rumor that Mingfeng has a bad temper before? Isn't it good that he knows how to love his wife? If I had known he was such a person, I would have introduced him to the girl from my relative's family."
"Yes, my cousin's daughter also asked about Lu Mingfeng at that time, but she backed out when she heard that he had a bad temper. If I had known he would change after marriage, I would have tried to match him up no matter what."
"It's too late to say anything now. Where can you find such a good man who is rich, capable, and loves his wife?"
"There is one thing, old men, it is not good to be afraid of your wife, the family still needs men to be the head of the family."
