Cheng Hua came back in the middle of the night and saw that there were many bottles and cans on the table. Without a doubt, she must have spent money to buy skincare products. After all, she was the one who earned the money. There was no reason not to let her buy them.
Cheng Hua's footsteps woke Zhou Jielun up from her sleep.
Zhou Jielun's sleepy eyes were blurred. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and said with a frown,"Why are you back so late? You still have to go to work tomorrow.”
"Hurry up and sleep," Cheng Hua said.”
At this moment, Zhou Jielun's phone rang. It was her sister, Zhou Luzhen.
"Sis, are you asleep? I'm taking a day off tomorrow. Do you have time? Come out and play.”
"Alright then, next time."
"Why don't you ask her to come over for lunch?" Cheng Hua said.”
Zhou Jielun thought about it and agreed, so she said to her sister on the other end of the phone,"Come over for lunch tomorrow."
After hanging up, Zhou Jielun said to Cheng Hua's back,"Let's go grocery shopping tomorrow. I'm always the only one who goes grocery shopping.”
Cheng Hua turned around and said expressionlessly,""Haven't you always been the one buying groceries yourself? The market is a paradise for women.”
Zhou Jielun's heart instantly turned cold. If there was anything that hurt a relationship the most, it would be a man's cold and emotionless heart. It was cold to the extreme. No matter how much you gave, it was only natural in his eyes. You shouldn't ask for anything in return. Even if you died of exhaustion for this family, it was a worthy death.
If I could go back in time, would I still choose to live with you and live a life that was neither husband nor wife?
Zhou Luzhen arrived at her sister's rented apartment. The door was tightly shut.
"You're here."
"I'm downstairs. Come down and help me open the door.”
The first thing Zhou Luzhen said when she saw him was,""Where's my sister?"
"Your sister went to buy groceries. She should be back soon." Cheng Hua smiled.”
"Why didn't you go?"
"Aren't I waiting for you at home?”
When he arrived at his sister's rented apartment, it was still as small as before. There was a small single room with a bed and a table. On the table was a 22-inch color television, a few small stools, two trash cans, and a small rectangular table for eating. There was a separate bathroom and no kitchen. The kitchen was at the corner of the corridor.
The small room was filled with daily necessities. When eating, they had to move the table to the corridor near the door to avoid being crowded.
Zhou Luzhen took a stool and sat down, waiting for her sister to return.
The more she waited, the more frustrated she became. She saw Cheng Hua lying in bed with his phone in his hand, watching the news. He had no idea when his sister would be home.
Zhou Luzhen got up and patted her butt. She looked at the man on the bed who was playing with his phone and said,"Brother-in-law, I'm going to look for my sister. It's been so long and she hasn't returned.”
Cheng Hua put down his phone and said impatiently,""She'll be back soon. Wait a little longer. What's the hurry?”
"She's not a child."
"It's what I should do. I should serve you. Are you the emperor? Why? The more I look at you, the more I hate you. You're not worthy of my sister at all. My sister is blind to like you.”
Cheng Hua's veins bulged. Her sister had never said such things about herself, yet she was the first to criticize him. This sister of hers was just asking for a lesson. No one was disciplining her, so she didn't know how to respect her brother-in-law.
Cheng Hua angrily threw his phone away and quickly walked up to Zhou Luzhen. He had already slapped Zhou Luzhen in a flash. Zhou Luzhen couldn't believe that Cheng Hua would teach her a lesson and even slap her. In her anger, Zhou Luzhen picked up the stool under her feet and wanted to throw it at Cheng Hua.
Zhou Luzhen stumbled and accidentally fell to the ground.
Zhou Jielun, who had just returned from grocery shopping, saw this scene.
Zhou Jielun threw the vegetables on the ground without a word and quickly walked over to Cheng Hua. She used all her strength to punch Cheng Hua in the chest. Large drops of tears flowed out of her eyes. She could endure whatever Cheng Hua did to her, but now, her sister was being bullied by Cheng Hua because of her. No matter what, she couldn't endure it.
Zhou Jielun flew into a rage and shouted at Cheng Hua,"Are you sick? Are you sick? She's my sister. What right do you have to hit my sister?”
Zhou Jielun was hysterical, but her tears kept falling.
Cheng Hua had become someone he couldn't recognize. He had been too good at disguising himself and had deceived her.
" Your sister has been spoiled by you guys," Cheng Hua said in a lukewarm tone." She deserves a beating, you know? You asked me why I couldn't hit her. Just because I'm her brother-in-law, I'm helping you discipline your sister. She's too condescending."”
Zhou Jielun didn't want to argue with him. She knew that with her eloquence, she couldn't win against him, so she could only swallow her anger.
Zhou Luzhen stood quietly outside the door and whispered," Sis."
Zhou Jielun wiped away her tears and came to her sister's side with red eyes. She choked and said,"Don't cry. It's my fault. I made you suffer. Let's go. I'll take you out for dinner."
Before Zhou Jielun left, she said to Cheng Hua,"If I loved you the way you loved me, I'm afraid you would have left long ago. I only hate myself for falling deeper and deeper into it."”
Cheng Hua was exasperated. He slammed the door and lay on the bed like a corpse.
The two sisters were like a ball. The older one was disobedient and the younger one was stubborn. With Zhou Luzhen's personality, she would be at a disadvantage sooner or later. She spoke without restraint and said whatever she thought.
As a man, shouldn't he be drinking and chatting outside while a woman was cooking and sweeping at home?
A little brat who doesn't know anything and still dares to lecture me.
Cheng Hua muttered to himself for a long time. Who could hear him?
The most hurtful thing about love is that I understand you and cherish you, but in return, you mercilessly mock me and think that I'm great.
