Wei Tiezhu grinned and looked at his wife.
Wei Mingyue's eyes widened, her expression one of anticipation as she watched a play unfold.
Wei Mingshen sighed inwardly, kicked Su Xueli's foot under his foot, and whispered, "You've had too much to drink, you're starting to talk nonsense."
Su Xueli had some wine, but she wasn't completely drunk yet. So, she was reminded to stop what she was saying, but she didn't change her mind or explain what she had just said. She clinked her glass against his and downed it in one gulp.
Then he put the wine cup face down and said, "Dad, Mom, you two drink. I've had a bit too much. I'm going to eat and go to bed."
Cao Maizi and Wei Tiezhu both thought she was really drunk, so they said, "Okay, okay, stop drinking and hurry up and eat. Look how much food you have to finish."
Su Xueli didn't even taste the food today. She ate a few bites and said she was full, put down her chopsticks and went back to her room. She quickly washed up, took off her clothes, got into bed, covered herself with the blanket and went to sleep.
Now that only the family was left, Cao Maizi asked Wei Mingshen, "Shenzi, tell your mother the truth, what did Xue Li mean by what she said just now? Something didn't sound right to me."
Wei Mingshen didn't want to say anything now and cause any complications, so he lied and said, "Didn't you see? She was drunk and couldn't keep her mouth shut."
Wei Tiezhu looked at his son and said, "She doesn't seem like someone who can't keep her mouth shut. Did you two have a fight?"
Wei Mingshen said in a deliberately angry tone, "You and Mom are the ones who had a fight. We're fine. Don't ask me anymore. I'm going to eat and go to sleep. I have things to do tomorrow."
The elderly couple looked at each other and had no choice but to stop.
Wei Mingshen didn't go inside. He smoked a cigarette outside before coming in. Seeing that Su Xueli was already in bed, he quickly washed up and then got into his own bed.
For no other reason than to be able to spend more time lying in the same bed with her.
She drank the wine and fell asleep quickly. She was in a deep sleep, making soft snoring noises that Wei Mingshen found extremely pleasant. He moved closer to her and listened quietly.
Without realizing it, he wrapped his arms around her body again, but without lifting the blanket, he hugged her through the blanket.
She was drunk, and he didn't want to take advantage of her; that would be unethical. He, Wei Mingshen, was a gentleman.
In the middle of the night, Su Xueli woke up. She felt him holding her, but she didn't shake him off. Instead, she quietly felt it for a while before throwing off the blanket, sitting up, and stepping over him to get out of bed.
The temperature has risen these past few days, so she no longer brings the chamber pot inside; she has to go outside to urinate.
It was pitch black at night. She took a flashlight to the bathroom, and the sound of her searching for the flashlight woke Wei Mingshen. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Su Xueli said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Wei Mingshen immediately sat up and said, "I'll go with you."
Su Xueli refused: "You go to sleep, I'll just take the flashlight."
Wei Mingshen got out of bed and put on his shoes. Seeing that she wasn't wearing a coat in the flashlight beam, he took the coat and draped it over her shoulders, then took the flashlight from her and walked outside.
She had no choice but to follow.
He stood outside the toilet, shining his flashlight inside to guide her in.
Su Xueli went in to urinate and came out. He followed behind her, illuminating her way back to her room.
Wei Mingshen closed the door, Su Xueli poured a glass of water, looked at Wei Mingshen, and whispered, "I'm hungry."
That's right, she didn't eat a single bite of food just now, she drank for a while and then went back to her room to sleep.
Unfortunately, she hadn't bought any snacks these past few days, and there really wasn't much food in the house.
After listening for a moment, Wei Mingshen said, "I remember I still have some noodles. I'll go make you some noodles."
