Chapter 39 Left and Right Neighbors Control Group 39
When Zhou Moli heard that she could have half of Zhang Xiaojia's luck, she knew that she just wanted He Fei's favor, not to sleep with He Fei, so she didn't feel much burden in her heart and it didn't count as betraying Li Bai.
He Fei had just returned from a mission and was resting for three days, which was exactly the time specified in the mission. It was a convenient time for her to approach He Fei. Otherwise, after He Fei left the mission, she would not be able to approach him again. How could she complete the mission then?
The temptation of this mission was too great, and she was anxious. She wondered if Zhang Xiaojia was against her. It was Zhang Xiaojia who had ruined the previous missions. She had to complete the mission as soon as possible, otherwise there would be more trouble.
Looking at herself in the mirror, her skin was as white as cream, her lips were rosy, and a red mole on the bridge of her nose added a touch of charm, but her peach blossom eyes were slightly drooping, with a sense of world-weariness, charming and yet not vulgar.
She is much prettier than Zhang Xiaojia.
She cooked some sweet rice dumplings and went next door with a casual smile. He Fei was repairing his car in the yard. She had deliberately chosen to come when Zhang Xiaojia was not around. Now there were only her and He Fei in the yard.
Zhou Moli's smile brightened. She walked over and said with a smile, "He Fei, I made an extra portion of these sweet rice dumplings. You can have some! It's snowing so hard, and you still have to come out to fix the car."
Zhou Moli walked up to He Fei in a natural manner and brought the bowl to his mouth. He Fei stepped back two meters and said, "Sorry, sister-in-law, I don't eat sweets." He was cursing in his heart, damn mistress, she had just told him the task issued by the wild system of the time-traveling girl. If he had known it earlier, he would have locked the gate of the compound.
Zhou Moli cursed inwardly, saying that he didn't understand romance.
She continued with a smile, "He Fei, you just came back from a mission, why don't you take a good rest? Xiao Jia is too ignorant. She asked you to repair the car as soon as you came back. It would be better if she went to the city less often."
He Fei would not indulge her and directly confronted her: "Sister-in-law! Yesterday I heard Yibai tell me that just because someone saved Li Jiao, you actually want to betroth her to that savior? Oh my, you are totally wrong! What era is it now? This is the brand new socialist New China, the new Kyushu! Our country advocates equality between men and women, and women have the right to choose their marriage partners completely independently! Arranged marriages are no longer popular! This practice simply goes against the true wishes of the majority of our female compatriots..."
He Fei shouted loudly and righteously at the top of his voice. His passionate and righteous look instantly attracted many aunties and grandmas passing by.
Seeing more and more people gathering around him, He Fei became even more excited and told everyone in detail what had happened in the past two days from beginning to end.
This guy even exaggerated it!
He first started talking from the perspective of freedom of marriage, eloquently explaining how important it is for women to choose their own spouse; then he ruthlessly exposed the various disadvantages and harms brought about by arranged marriages; in the end, he seriously and earnestly criticized the elder sister-in-law for using the younger sister-in-law's marriage to repay a favor and even wanting her savior to marry her in marriage.
An older woman in the crowd couldn't help but interrupt, asking, "What if a married woman was saved by someone else, and ended up breaking the rescuer's leg? Wouldn't that married woman have to divorce and marry the rescuer? Wouldn't that cause even more criticism?"
When He Fei heard this, he nodded repeatedly as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and continued to talk incessantly: "So, sister-in-law, what you did is really inappropriate! Although the life-saving grace should be repaid, you can't use this method to force others to marry!"
After listening to He Fei's long speech, the people present began to whisper to each other, and all of them expressed their dissatisfaction and condemnation of the actions of Zhou Moli, the eldest sister-in-law.
Everyone was talking about it, and they all agreed that even if he was their savior, they should be given appropriate material thanks or other forms of rewards, rather than hastily promising their sister-in-law's lifelong happiness.
Zhou Moli was surrounded by everyone's accusations and her face turned red. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
When Zhang Xiaojia returned home, she saw a group of aunts and He Fei criticizing and educating Zhou Moli. Then she saw a small bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice wine. She looked at Zhou Moli and immediately realized she was wearing lipstick. She subconsciously walked over quickly, took out a thermos from her bag, and handed it to He Fei, saying, "Brother He, drink the Chinese medicine. You haven't been feeling well these past two days, so don't eat anything sweet."
"Well, okay." He Fei took the thermos. He didn't feel uncomfortable, but Jia Jia was jealous when she saw a woman being courteous to him at first sight, so he just drank the water in the thermos obediently.
When the aunts saw Zhang Xiaojia coming back, they joked, "Okay, okay, let's all go back! He Fei just finished his mission and came back. Give the young couple some space and let them talk."
The group of aunts left, taking Zhou Moli with them. Zhang Xiaojia raised an eyebrow and said, "This woman's mission is not to seduce you, right? He Fei, listen to me, my dictionary includes widowhood, but not divorce. If you are not clean, I can send you off without anyone knowing."
He Fei took her hand and returned to the kang and said, "Don't worry! I can be a very good man. I keep a safe distance from every woman and I don't think I will have any ambiguous relationship with her. Men who have wives but don't know how to keep a distance from the opposite sex are shameless."
"What new mission does Zhou Moli have?"
He Fei was a little embarrassed to say, "Hug me and make me feel good about her."
Zhang Xiaojia's face immediately darkened, and she said jealously: "You are not allowed to have any private contact with her. You did the right thing today."
He Fei whispered in Jia Jia's ear, "Jia Jia, stay by my side for the next three days and protect me, okay?"
Zhang Xiaojia's ears turned red, and she smoothed the hair beside her ears, feeling a little uncomfortable. She looked at He Fei's face and kissed him on the lips. "If you are good, it's okay for me to protect you."
From then on, Zhang Xiaojia took He Fei with her wherever she went, leaving He Fei no time to be alone with her.
This made Zhou Moli very anxious. There were still 10 hours left before the end. Now she could only conquer Zhang Xiaojia's luck value. If she wanted half of her luck value, she had to hug He Fei and win his favor. How could she not move forward?
Zhang Xiaojia has been guarding He Fei these days. No matter how she approaches him, the basic rule of the compound is that if you have something to do, you can go to your sister-in-law, and women are not allowed to look for other men. She was so anxious that she couldn't sleep these two days and she was not in good spirits.
According to the system, she has to complete at least half of the task and ask He Fei to hold her so that points will not be deducted. She has to get injured at night and then ask He Fei to carry her to the hospital.
Zhang Xiaojia stared at the sky in silence? Did he think she was dead? She seemed to be a general practitioner!!!
