Chapter 107 Bad Luck Bad Luck
Cheng Jiajia endured it for a long time, and finally waited until the couple outside had finished "pouring out their heart" before pinching her nose and walking out of the women's restroom.
He walked along, cursing his bad luck under his breath.
Cheng Jiajia really wanted to curse. Although she enjoyed watching the drama unfold, she couldn't stand being stuck in the toilet for so long.
Tell me, tell me, why do these people always prefer to sneak behind public toilets to do their business?
Don't they know that there might be someone in this toilet?
The gates of the 35th courtyard were locked from the inside!
Cheng Jiajia: "!!!"
Damn it, I feel even more like cursing now!
unlucky!
She just couldn't understand it. Didn't these people who went out and messed around see that the door wasn't locked when they left?
Aren't you afraid that someone outside might accidentally witness their harmonious life?
What Cheng Jiajia didn't know was that Zheng Haiyang did notice it when he went out first, but he thought it was because Grandpa Zou forgot to close the gate, so he didn't pay attention to it and even thoughtfully closed it when he came back.
When Qin Weimin and Bai Zhenzhu went out, the two of them didn't notice anything unusual. They simply opened the door and went out as usual, then came back and closed the door again, thus keeping her, the 'fish that slipped through the net,' outside.
Since their marriage, Yu Junsheng has gotten into the habit of sleeping with Cheng Jiajia in his arms at night. Although Cheng Jiajia would kick him away when she was sound asleep because he was in the way, Yu Junsheng still enjoyed it. Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, he would pull her into his arms.
But when Yu Junsheng turned over, he found nothing.
He gradually regained his senses and realized that no one was beside him. He thought Cheng Jiajia had gone to the bathroom, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't come back. He also touched the blankets and found they were no longer warm.
Yu Junsheng was worried that Cheng Jiajia might have run into some trouble outside, so he got up to go check on her.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to set off, they heard a noise coming from behind their house, which sounded like it was coming from the kitchen.
Yu Junsheng immediately became alert and asked, "Wife? Is that you?"
There was no answer from outside, but the rustling continued.
Yu Junsheng frowned deeply. Could it be that a thief had broken in?
He put on his cotton-padded coat and tiptoed out of the inner room in the dark to check the situation, while also grabbing the iron hook for the coal stove that was placed inside the room.
Passing through the main room and arriving at the kitchen, Yu Junsheng could only see a blurry black shadow on the courtyard wall through the kitchen window.
Damn it, there really is a petty thief!
Judging from this, they're specifically targeting their own store!
Yu Junsheng's heart tightened. He slowly approached, preparing to strike the thief hard before he could react.
Then, a "plop" sound was heard.
Then a familiar voice said, "Finally in!"
Yu Junsheng: "..."
Yu Junsheng pushed open the window and stared speechlessly at the overly lively dark figure, his lips twitching.
After a long while, he finally spoke softly, "Wife, can you answer me why you climbed over the wall to come back after going to the toilet?"
"Oh my god!"
Cheng Jiajia, who was just about to sneak into the house, was startled by his sudden voice and almost slipped and fell.
After realizing the voice sounded familiar, Cheng Jiajia patted her chest to catch her breath and glared at the culprit, annoyed. "What are you doing standing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
So it's his fault for climbing over the wall late at night?
Yu Junsheng: "No, honey, have you developed a new hobby?" He had noticed before that his wife seemed to enjoy eavesdropping on other people's conversations. Could it be that she has developed some new and unusual hobby recently?
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?
Thinking about what had just happened, Cheng Jiajia looked annoyed. "When I came back, the front door was locked. I had no choice but to go around to the back of our house and climb over the wall to get in."
Yu Junsheng frowned. "How did it get tied up?"
The gate to the courtyard is usually bolted by Grandpa Zou's family before they go to bed, because their house is closest to the gate. At night, if anyone wants to go out to get up or go to the toilet, they open and close the gate themselves.
Who would bother to lock the door so late at night?
He was filled with all sorts of conspiracy theories. Could it be that someone was targeting his wife and deliberately locking her out?
Then Cheng Jiajia gave a rather complicated account of the two "live sex shows" she had heard that night.
Yu Junsheng: "..."
Yu Junsheng glanced at Cheng Jiajia, his expression extremely complex.
Honestly, he felt that his wife might actually have something going on, otherwise how come she always gets caught up in these kinds of things?
The last time I went to the restroom, I ran into Zheng Haiyang and Bao Dayan.
"Honey, to be honest, let's not go to the toilet so late next time, it's too dangerous."
Cheng Jiajia didn't take it seriously, and scoffed, "What's so dangerous about that? Even if they all came at me together, they might not be a match for me." It wasn't that she was arrogant, but apart from Zheng Haiyang, which of the other four looked like they had any fighting ability? Taking them down would be a piece of cake.
Yu Junsheng's lips twitched. "It's not that kind of danger."
"I'm not worried about force, but I'm afraid that such a disreputable person will corrupt my wife's ears. What if he leads my pure little wife astray?"
He reached out and pinched Cheng Jiajia's fair cheek, his expression a mix of grievance and sourness, and said, "Besides, I don't want my wife to hear other men talking about... you know. Humph, what's there to hear!"
None of them are as good as myself!
Cheng Jiajia couldn't resist his cute appearance and her heart softened completely. "Chengcheng, I promise you, okay? Don't make yourself suffer anymore!"
Yu Junsheng's aggrieved expression vanished instantly, almost like a face change.
He chuckled, "You said it yourself, honey. It's getting late, let's go to sleep."
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
Cheng Jiajia raised her arm, sniffed the smell on herself, and said with disgust, "Wait a minute, let me change my clothes before going to bed. This body has been marinated in the toilet." She didn't want to bring this stench into the bed. If it weren't inconvenient to take a shower now, she would definitely take a shower before going to bed.
Yu Junsheng: ...Okay, I can see that his wife has indeed been in the toilet for quite a long time.
It was indeed late, and both of them were a little sleepy, so they didn't say much and went back to bed to sleep.
It wasn't until the next day that Yu Junsheng began to ponder the excitement his wife had described.
One thing in particular made him raise an eyebrow.
Is Bai Zhenzhu trying to sow discord between the Qin father and son?
Yu Junsheng's eyes lit up; he felt this was an excellent opportunity.
He hadn't forgotten how Qin Weimin had schemed against him back then.
That old bastard Qin Weimin is aiming to get me sent to the Northwest Farm. Does he think that Qin Ziwen being sent down to the workshop is the end of the matter?
How could that be?
The reason Yu Junsheng didn't immediately report back to Qin Ziwen when he returned was that he didn't want to make things too obvious and let the factory leaders think he was vindictive. After all, he had already schemed against Qin Ziwen once before, and the factory leaders had turned a blind eye.
If I do it again, what will people think?
I'll be working at this factory for at least another ten years, so I can't leave that impression on the factory leaders, otherwise it will be detrimental to my future career development.
Who would dare to employ a subordinate who is petty and vindictive?
Therefore, Yu Junsheng could only suppress his evil intentions and wait for the right opportunity.
This time, someone has handed me an opportunity, so I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't take advantage of it, hehe!
Let's see if he doesn't turn the Qin family upside down.
Yu Junsheng then pulled Cheng Jiajia aside and whispered something to her.
...
After Hu Mei became pregnant, Ma Gaosheng's mother moved into the compound to take care of her daughter-in-law.
Although Hu Mei was reluctant for her mother-in-law to interfere in their marital affairs, Ma Gaosheng was right. Having never given birth herself, she didn't know the taboos and needed an elder to handle things. After all, it was a hard-won child, and they needed to be careful.
After Aunt Ma arrived, she really took good care of Hu Mei. She prepared three different meals a day, afraid that Hu Mei would go hungry. She also didn't let Hu Mei do any housework. She served her very well, and Hu Mei's previous pickiness and harshness disappeared.
This old lady is always smiling; if you didn't know her before, you might really think she's a very kind old lady.
Everyone curled their lips; they hadn't forgotten how mean the old lady used to be when she scolded Hu Mei for being a barren hen. Only Aunt Chang from their neighborhood could rival her.
Hu Mei was quite satisfied, as if she had forgotten how difficult her mother-in-law had been. For a time, the two got along very well, just like a loving mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Their joyful and happy atmosphere only made Fu Jiaojiao's life next door seem even more miserable.
Ever since the old woman arrived with her two little brats, Zhu Ziqiang stopped paying her salary and handed over the family savings to her, claiming that she was too young to manage the household.
Fu Jiaojiao only had her own salary to rely on. Zhu Ziqiang had subtly suggested that she give her salary to his mother to manage together, but Fu Jiaojiao did not agree.
This salary was her only source of confidence. If she handed it over to that old hag, wouldn't she be subject to her control in everything she did?
Sometimes Fu Jiaojiao would buy some food and hide it to eat by herself, but if she didn't hide it well, the two little devils would find it and eat it.
Next time she'll go somewhere else.
But today, the old woman actually dug out her hidden wages and used them to buy food for the two little ones.
Fu Jiaojiao discovered this and went to question her.
The old woman actually argued, "You're the mother of Da Dan and Er Dan. What's wrong with spending all your salary on them, even if you don't buy them food? You're a mother now, yet you're so selfish, only thinking about buying things for yourself and sneaking food. You don't think about your kids at all. Aren't you afraid people will laugh their heads off?"
Fu Jiaojiao angrily cursed, "These two brats aren't my children, why should they spend my salary?! What's wrong with me using my own salary to buy things for myself? I'm not eating your rice!"
But the old woman was too good at pretending; she immediately teared up and went to Zhu Ziqiang to stand up for her.
Then Zhu Ziqiang scolded her with a dark face, basically telling her to be filial to her elders and love her children. Although he didn't say anything harsh, it was more hurtful than if he had.
Fu Jiaojiao was indignant and went to Zhu Ziqiang to complain about her grievances. All that bastard could say was, "My mother raised me with great difficulty, and she's so old now. Can't you be more considerate of her?"
Fu Jiaojiao was so angry that she cried again.
Hearing the cheerful laughter next door made her feel even more heartbroken.
Why has my life become such a mess?
Fu Jiaojiao lay quietly on the bed for a while, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, she wiped away her tears, tidied her hair and appearance, and went to the next room.
At the Ma family home, Aunt Ma is brewing medicine to help Hu Mei maintain her pregnancy.
"Aunt Ma is brewing medicine for Sister Hu," Fu Jiaojiao said with a smile.
Over the past few days, she has become quite familiar with Ma Gaosheng's mother, Aunt Ma.
Aunt Ma first looked Fu Jiaojiao up and down, then greeted her warmly, "Oh, Jiaojiao's here! Come and sit down!"
The commotion next door was quite loud; Aunt Ma heard it all clearly. She pursed her lips and said, "If you ask me, that girl is just stupid. A perfectly good young woman has married a divorced man with two children. This whole family is all in the same boat, and they treat her like an outsider."
They pondered for a moment, wondering what this person was doing at their house, and hoping he wouldn't make any unreasonable demands.
Fortunately, after some small talk and asking about Hu Mei's health, Fu Jiaojiao revealed her purpose.
"Auntie, I just wanted to ask if you still have that folk remedy that Sister Hu tried?"
I was initially hesitant to try this folk remedy, since everyone could smell the odor of Hu Mei's medicine, and its potency was quite strong.
Today's argument finally made her decide to take action.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ma breathed a sigh of relief, then her eyes flashed, and she patted her chest to assure everyone, "Girl, you've come to the right person! I still have two or three doses of this folk remedy! I'm not bragging, but this medicine is really effective. Look at your sister Hu, she got pregnant after taking just a few doses! The miracle doctor I found is indeed quite skilled."
"Here, take this medicine. Considering our friendship, I won't charge you more; I'll just give you one yuan and fifty cents a dose! When you're done, tell the old lady, and she'll get you some more." Five cents a dose of medicine, and you can make a dollar just by reselling it—you're rich!
Aunt Ma held Fu Jiaojiao's hand affectionately, "My dear girl, you've had it tough. Take a few more doses, and you'll definitely give birth to a big, healthy boy!" The more medicine she took, the more money she could earn!
Fu Jiaojiao had no idea what Aunt Ma was up to, but she assumed that Aunt Ma genuinely understood her hardships in the Zhu family. Moved, her eyes welled up with tears. "Auntie, thank you, thank you!"
He immediately forgot whether the folk remedy was expensive or not, and quickly took out three yuan from his pocket and gave it to Aunt Ma.
Luckily, she knew her two little devils loved to rummage through things, so she didn't keep all her money together; otherwise, she would be penniless right now.
Hu Mei glanced at her mother-in-law in surprise, her eyes flickered, and she didn't say anything.
After Fu Jiaojiao left, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tacitly avoided discussing the topic.
...
The next day, a rare guest arrived at the Ma family's home.
Ma Gaosheng and his mother warmly welcomed them, and Hu Mei smiled broadly.
The entire Ma family was filled with joy.
However, this person almost made Cheng Jiajia's jaw drop.
"He...he...how did he get here?!"
Cheng Jiajia frantically tugged at Yu Junsheng's sleeve and winked at the people in front of the Ma family's gate.
Yu Junsheng followed the gaze and saw Ma Gaosheng and a tall, strong man acting like brothers, their arms around each other's shoulders.
It was obvious that this tall, muscular man knew Ma Gaosheng, and they seemed to have a good relationship.
Yu Junsheng: "!!!"
Yu Junsheng's pupils dilated for a moment.
Wow, I didn't know you guys were this good at having fun!
