Chapter 49 Marrying a Man: A Matter of Clothing and Food
They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!
Shen Zhishou was completely unaware of Yu Li's ulterior motives. Upon hearing her question, he simply smiled and said, "Isn't it normal for a man to like beautiful women?"
"So, do you like it?"
Yu Li looked at Shen Zhishou with a smile and asked a question that seemed destined to kill.
Shen Zhishou hugged his playful little wife, kissed her, and said, "Of course I like her, otherwise, why would I have encouraged you to divorce Yan Jiecheng?"
"So, so you had ulterior motives from the very beginning!"
Yu Li raised her little fist and pretended to punch Shen Zhishou several times.
Unfortunately, the strength was too weak, almost like giving Shen Zhishou a massage!
"Honey, don't you have any feelings for Qin Huairu?"
"Anyway, I have no objection!"
"As long as you don't get bored easily, I really don't mind!"
Yu Li blinked her beautiful big eyes and stared into Shen Zhishou's eyes.
Shen Zhishou rolled her eyes and said, "You really are a traditional woman!"
"You're always thinking about these virtuous and gentle things!"
Shen Zhishou was naturally tempted by Qin Huairu's body.
But the problem is, Jia Dongxu is still alive!
"So, do you actually have feelings for Qin Huairu?"
"Yes, I have!"
Shen Zhishou put Yu Li on the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "But, that's immoral!"
"Besides, don't you think the Jia family's affairs are troublesome?"
"So, let's stop making a fuss about this!"
Shen Zhishou admits to being a womanizer, but he would never do anything to break up other people's families.
As for why Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were separated as soon as they arrived at the courtyard house?
You really can't blame Shen Zhishou for being immoral!
Who told Yan Bugui to act so dishonestly?
He had promised to arrange a place for Yan Bugui to stay temporarily, but after dinner, Yan Bugui pretended to be dead. Since that was the case, he couldn't blame Shen Zhishou for acting so decisively!
As for Qin Huairu, although the Jia family is despicable, if Qin Huairu is willing to endure it, then Shen Zhishou will not act as her savior.
After all, there are quite a few people eyeing Qin Huairu!
Jia Zhangshi kept a close eye on this daughter-in-law.
Sha Zhu and Xu Damao also had feelings for Qin Huairu.
Shen Zhishou didn't want his secret to be exposed one day, forcing him to leave his hometown.
He is quite satisfied with his life now.
Shen Zhishou didn't feel there was anything wrong with his awkward mindset.
I even feel that this is what a normal person should be like!
Being the neighbor next door isn't something just anyone can do!
Many people share Mengde's (Cao Cao's) heart.
But as long as he doesn't put it into action, judging by his actions rather than his intentions, he's still a good person.
After listening to Shen Zhishou's words, Yu Li nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
Have a meal!
After all, food is the most important thing, no matter how big the world is.
The story of Sha Zhu beating up Yan Bugui did not spread throughout the courtyard.
Aside from the parties involved, only Shen Zhishou and Yu Li knew about it.
……
The next day, after Shen Zhishou went to work, Yu Li first took the money and coupons to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth and cotton, and then went to Qin Huairu to ask her to help make cotton clothes.
"Sister-in-law, I heard Sha Zhu brought lunch to your family?"
While the two were working, Yu Li chatted with Qin Huairu.
"Um!"
Qin Huairu responded softly, "It was an old man who said our family was struggling financially and asked Sha Zhu to lend a hand!"
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, yesterday, just over this lunchbox, Sha Zhu beat up Yan Bugui!"
Yu Li opened her mouth and started chattering away.
After hearing what Yu Li said, Qin Huairu's face turned deathly pale.
She felt it was inappropriate for her to take Sha Zhu's lunchbox, but her mother-in-law was happy to oblige, and Jia Dongxu was also pleased to see it happen.
"Sister-in-law, I don't believe you can't see how Sha Zhu feels about you!"
Yu Li gave Qin Huairu a meaningful look. "Or are you saying you'd be happy with this?"
"What can I do?"
Qin Huairu felt very wronged.
She had absolutely no way out; there was no solution at all.
My husband is a hopeless person. He can talk a good game, but when something really happens, he's helpless.
Before, there was no comparison, and the younger generation in this courtyard were all useless. Qin Huairu thought Jia Dongxu was not bad, quite good.
But with Shen Zhishou, such an unconventional man, here, Qin Huairu realized that things were far too different!
"Sister-in-law, honestly, I think you should divorce Jia Dongxu!"
"Don't be angry, let me finish!"
Yu Li held Qin Huairu's hand, "A woman marries a man for food and clothing, but what did you eat and wear at the Jia family's house?"
"Jia Dongxu is still alive and has a job, yet the Jia family only wants Sha Zhu's lunchbox. If this gets out, what do you think people will think?"
"I'm afraid many people will think that Sha Zhu is helping the Jia family out of trouble!"
"Sister-in-law, you know what this 'forming a clique' means, right?"
"I understand!"
Qin Huairu did not refute Yu Li's words.
Because Yu Li's statement is not without merit.
In these days, there are many families struggling to make ends meet. In their courtyard, there are several families struggling even more than the Jia family. Why doesn't Sha Zhu help them, but instead helps the Jia family?
Are the two families on good terms?
That's pure nonsense!
The two families simply lived in the same courtyard and were close by. When they met, they could exchange a few words.
Why would Sha Zhu help their family for no reason when they have no family ties or connections?
Thinking of what Jia Zhangshi had said yesterday, asking her to help Sha Zhu wash clothes and tidy up the house when she had free time, Qin Huairu's face turned even uglier.
If she were to enter Sha Zhu's room, unless Sha Zhu remained outside the room, their relationship would truly be like mud falling down their pants!
"Yu Li, what should I do?"
"My mother-in-law even made me do Shazhu's laundry and tidy up the house!"
"He's a grown man, and I'm just a married woman..."
Qin Huairu panicked a little.
These days, a person's reputation is really important.
If Qin Huairu's reputation is ruined, she will be drowned by the spittle of those around her.
Even her mother-in-law might use this as an excuse to continue to manipulate her.
"Sister-in-law, I still stand by what I said: you should just divorce Jia Dongxu!"
"A grown man who can't support his own wife and children and has to rely on other men for help, who has no ambition—what hope can you have with a man like that?"
Yu Li's ideas are really sharp.
In any era, if a woman despises a poor man and marries someone else, she will inevitably be labeled as vain and materialistic.
The problem is, what right does a man have to demand that a woman eat coarse food with him?
Marry a man, and you'll have food and clothing!
If even this cannot be guaranteed, then what kind of man did she marry?
The reason why Yu Li was able to divorce Yan Jiecheng so easily was not only due to Shen Zhishou's domineering actions and taking advantage of her vulnerability, but also because Yu Li realized that marrying Yan Jiecheng would be an absolute torment.
Water flows downhill, and people strive to climb higher!
This has always been the case!
