Chapter 159 New Neighbor



Sometimes, women are really emotional creatures. A cold face from him can make you feel lost for a long time, but a soft word from him can make you forget the previous unhappiness in an instant.

Zhang Weifang cried for a while in Lu Shi's arms and then fell asleep. At this time, Lu Shi was very upset. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to smoke one, but quickly put it down.

Zhang Weifang doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. He had quit smoking before, but now he really needs a cigarette to relieve his sorrow.

Since the two got married, Lu Shi has been responsible for all the housework, while Zhang Weifang and Hu Zi are responsible for adjusting the atmosphere, and everyone is very happy.

Zhang Weifang's coldness these days made Lu Shi realize that he was not doing well enough. He always wanted to prove that Zhang Weifang was happy to marry him, but Zhang Weifang's tears told him that she had suffered a lot of grievances.

This is not the life he wants. He hopes that she can always be happy instead of compromising herself to accommodate him.

Lu Shi didn't know what he should do to make her happy, so he decided to learn from Captain Wang and the others tomorrow.

The next day at noon, Lu Shi specially invited Captain Wang and his party to have a meal in the cafeteria. During the meal, Lu Shi began to secretly inquire about other people's ways of getting along with their couples.

He deliberately asked Liu Jiahua:

"Hey, how is your wife doing at your house? Aunt Feng mentioned her yesterday."

Lu Shi was not talking nonsense. When Aunt Feng and Zhang Weifang were chatting yesterday, they mentioned Feng Qiushuang. It was said that she quarreled with her sister-in-law every day at Feng's house.

When talking about his wife, Liu Jiahua's mind is in a knot. It is really hard to describe his wife in a few words.

Feng Qiushuang is a simple and innocent person. Apart from her face, it is really hard to evaluate her in other aspects.

The newlyweds had a good relationship, but Feng Qiu Shuang couldn't get used to the food at home and couldn't do housework, so she was bullied by her sister-in-law every day.

The two daughters-in-law of the Liu family fight every day, and their family has become a laughing stock among the neighbors.

Liu Jiahua smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"My wife is very good, good-looking, and willing to endure hardships with me. But she and my sister-in-law don't get along, and my parents are planning to split up our family."

Lu Shi took a big bite of the steamed bread and said:

"It's better to separate. It's more comfortable to live on your own."

Captain Wang also took over the conversation:

"Yes, as long as your wife is a good person, then you can live a good life. Women are soft-hearted, so just coax her more."

Gao Yunkai laughed:

"Captain Wang really understands women. Take my wife for example. Although she has a bad temper, as long as I buy her some food and drinks, she will be happy for a long time."

Next, everyone started talking about how to coax their wives. It can be summed up in two points: say more nice words and buy more gifts.

Finally, Captain Wang made the final summary:

"Listen to me, young men! When it comes to your wife, the most important thing is to listen to her. Small matters can be dealt with through simple talk, but major matters should be discussed with her in advance. Never act on your own."

Several young people said they had learned a lot, and Lu Shi also learned a lot.

After get off work, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, bought a watermelon and some vegetables, and then went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to pick up Zhang Weifang.

After returning home, Zhang Weifang sat in the yard and ate half of the watermelon. Hu Zi ate two small pieces and ran out to play. Lu Shi was busy in the kitchen.

Just when everyone was busy, a woman walked in from outside. Zhang Weifang took a look and saw that it was Chen Yuying who had just moved in.

Chen Yuying weighed about 150 to 160 kilograms and looked very strong. She wore a floral dress and a red hairpin on her head. She smiled before she spoke, and her voice was particularly loud:

"It's cool here. I just moved here. I'm bringing you some homemade toon sauce. You can come to my house when you have time."

Zhang Weifang didn't expect her new neighbor to be so polite, so she quickly started socializing:

"Oh, you're so polite. Come on, sit down and have a piece of watermelon."

"I won't eat. I have rice steaming on the stove. We can talk later."

Zhang Weifang quickly called Lu Shi:

"Lu Shi, quickly bring out an empty bowl."

When Lu Shi heard Zhang Weifang's shout, he quickly came out with an empty bowl, poured the toon sauce into the bowl, then washed the empty bowl before returning it. When he returned it, he put his freshly pickled cucumbers in the bowl.

Chen Yuying smiled even more brightly when she saw the cucumbers in the bowl:

"Your man is so good to you. I'm leaving now. Come and sit down with me when you have time."

"Okay, sure."

After seeing off the new neighbor, Zhang Weifang tasted the toon sauce in the bowl. It was spicy and fragrant, but a little salty. However, it tasted good and you could tell that a lot of oil was added to it.

Time passed day by day. One day, Zhang Weifang was resting at home when he saw Feng Qiushuang walking in with a bruised face and nose.

Zhang Weifang was startled and asked quickly:

"Qiushuang, what's wrong with you? Who hit you?"

Feng Qiushuang covered her face and cried as she said:

"Sister Weifang, it's that bastard Liu Jiahua. I really have nowhere else to go, so I have no choice but to trouble you."

"Don't cry, why did he hit you?"

"He went out gambling and lost several hundred dollars. I said a few words to him and he got upset."

Zhang Weifang also hated gambling, so she felt even more sympathetic towards Feng Qiushuang's plight:

"Qiushuang, what do you think? What are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know. He is usually very nice to me." Feng Qiu Shuang still felt reluctant.

Originally, Zhang Weifang wanted to tell Aunt Feng, but Feng Qiushuang was unwilling. She wanted to save face, and since she had made the choice, there was no room for regret.

Zhang Weifang invited her to have lunch, and in the evening, Liu Jiahua returned with Lu Shi.

Liu Jiahua had a dark face and there were several nail marks on his face. He walked over and hugged Feng Qiushuang to coax her for a while, and then the couple left.

Zhang Weifang looked at Liu Jiahua's back and said unconsciously:

"Liu Jiahua's mouth is quite powerful. He coaxed people into submission in just a short while."

Lu Shi brought Zhang Weifang a glass of water and said disapprovingly:

"What's the use of being nice to others? He still beats his wife."

Zhang Weifang rolled his eyes at him before saying:

"It's none of our business if they're both willing to fight and get beaten. However, a man who knows how to talk has high emotional intelligence, which is an advantage."

Lu Shi was indignant and immediately asked:

"Don't you women all like to hear nice words?"

Zhang Weifang replied subconsciously:

"Yes, nice words can make people happy physically and mentally. Who doesn't like to hear them?"

Lu Shi completely disagrees with this view:

"What if he deceives you with sweet words?"

"Whether you can lie or not has nothing to do with nice words. If you want to lie, you can still do it even if you can't say nice things."

Looking at Zhang Weifang's expression, Lu Shi felt a little frustrated. He whispered:

"It's a pity I'm not good at this."
