After saying goodbye, Ding Rumei felt as happy as if she had been coated with honey. However, as soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw a burly man pitifully explaining to the guard.
“Comrade PLA soldier, I really just came here to find my wife. Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn’t dare to cause trouble here. My wife, Song Zhaodi, came here a few days ago. Could you please ask someone to go in and inquire for me? She must be inside.”
Upon hearing Song Zhaodi's name, Ding Rumei perked up immediately. It was like finding a needle in a haystack.
“We just had a small argument, but I didn’t expect her to be so angry. Now my parents are both sick, and I really know my mistake. As the saying goes, it’s better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Please think of a way to get her to come out and see me.”
Ding Rumei's heart was pounding; she hadn't expected to complete the task Xie Wanying had assigned her so quickly.
When the time comes, let this man take Song Zhaodi away, and she won't have to put in any effort. Heaven is indeed looking out for her.
"You just said your wife's name is Song Zhaodi? She's at my house right now."
Suddenly hearing someone speak, Zhou Dawei turned his head and met Ding Rumei's gaze. The moment their eyes met, Ding Rumei felt a chill run down her spine.
Zhou Dawei has a scar on the corner of his eye, a long and terrifying-looking scar. He is also a big, burly man, and his eyes give people a chill.
He walked towards Ding Rumei with a feigned innocent smile: "Are you telling the truth? I've been looking for her for so long. You know, when couples quarrel, they always make up before they get out of bed. So many days have passed, she should have calmed down by now, right?"
As Zhou Dawei drew closer, Ding Rumei felt goosebumps rise on her back and felt immense regret, unable to utter a complete sentence.
There's something very wrong with this person; it inexplicably makes you feel afraid.
The discomfort in her heart intensified the trembling in her body. Her instinct was to run away, but then she glanced at the sentry on the gate. With so many People's Liberation Army soldiers here, there was no safer place than this.
Ding Rumei forced herself to say, "Yes, she helps with chores at our house."
Zhou Dawei forced an awkward smile, and perhaps because the person opposite him was a woman, his voice was no longer as rough as before.
“I know that our family’s circumstances are indeed a burden to her, but my parents’ health was already poor when we got married. When the two families got engaged, I made it clear beforehand that she was willing. Just the other day, she asked me to wash the dishes, and I was a little late. She got angry and ran out. Could you please tell her that I will do whatever she asks me to do immediately in the future, and I will never go west if she tells me to go east? My parents are getting old and just want to see her one last time.”
Ding Rumei saw that Zhou Dawei's words were sincere and did not seem to be lying at all. When she thought that Song Zhaodi had actually come out alone because she was worried about the hardship of taking care of her parents-in-law, she felt even more contemptuous.
"So that's how it is. I think she clearly doesn't want to take care of her sick in-laws. She's a disgrace to us women."
