Chapter Five

With frequent interactions, the relationship between the two families has become very close, taking turns hosting gatherings almost every week, and enjoying a harmonious atmosphere as if they were one family. During the meal, Wanzongren and Song Yicheng formed a sharp contrast. One was focused on eating and drinking, occasionally responding with 'Hmm' and 'Ah', rarely initiating conversations; the other talked freely about ancient and modern events, stories from all over the world, and historical anecdotes. What impressed Hu Limei the most were the two "misconceptions" raised by Wan Zongren. A twisted argument goes like this: "Children belong to oneself are good, wives belong to others are good, so if one doesn't even love other people's wives, how can they love their own wife." Another twisted argument is: 'As the saying goes, without a diamond drill, don't take on the delicate work of porcelain. This is said to men; but to women, it should be said: Without that delicate work, why bother with a diamond drill.' Xu Yunna sensed the suggestive tone in the words and tapped Wan Zongren's head with her chopsticks, while Hu Limei looked puzzled and asked, "Why?" Why? Looking forward to Wan Zongren's explanation, Xu Yunna served a dish to Hu Limei and said, "Don't ask, just eat. He's talking nonsense." Huli Mei seemed lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, holding her stomach: "Brother-in-law, you're so naughty! Let me ask you, is Naji a porcelain doll?" Everyone burst into laughter, even Song Yicheng, who was eating quietly on the side, couldn't help but chuckle, revealing a mouthful of yellow-stained teeth.

The oil refinery of the oilfield is located in the old district of Qimen City at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, more than 100 kilometers away from Li Quan. During working hours, Song Yicheng usually only goes home on weekends, and from Monday to Thursday, he lives in the dormitory of the refinery. When Song Yicheng is working in Qimen, Hu Limei is unwilling to stay alone in the empty house, so she often stays at Xu Yunna's house. Xu Yunna is happy to accompany Wan Zongren because he often works overtime and travels, and she is always there for him.

Hu Limei found that since Wan Zongren became the head of the organization department, Xu Yunna had not changed much, but people around her were willing to get close to her, intentionally or unintentionally, even the manager of the service center and the company's leaders were much more polite to Xu Yunna than before.

Over the weekend, the manager heard that Wan Zongren and his friend were eating at the Oilfield Service Center and hurriedly put down what was at hand and rushed to the private room: "Oops, Chief Wan didn't say anything to your brother in advance when you came to eat here. How can I greet you at the door? "

I am not a leader, how dare I trouble you, the general manager, to greet me, besides, you are the leader of my leader, aren't you? "

You are an official in charge, working in the organization department. With progress every year, isn't it just a matter of time before you become a top leader? It is our honor to have you here. The small shop is shining brightly, and today I will treat you as my guest. The manager became even more enthusiastic.

No, no. No need to work overtime tonight, so a few of us brothers are coming to have a drink at your place to relax. The environment here is nice. If you don't have other guests to attend to, join us. We are all friends here. Wan Zongren politely invited the manager to take a seat.

The manager smiled and pulled out a chair, saying, "Well, then, I'll have to obey orders. Let's have a good drink with Director Wan tonight. Waiter, fill up the wine for me, I'll toast Director Wan..." "

Hu Limei, who was in the private room service, saw this scene and felt a strange feeling in her heart, sour, bitter, and even a feeling of wanting to cry. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when Song Yicheng finished washing up and lay on the bed. He heard the sound of Hu Limei entering the house, and greeted her from the bedroom with eyes full of anticipation and joy, "Just got off work?" Dear, you've worked hard. Wash your face and rest soon, okay? Hu Limei did not answer, did not change clothes or wash up, but walked straight to the living room, sat on the sofa, stared blankly for a while, took out a cigarette from the coffee table that Song Yicheng had smoked, lit it, took a puff, and then started coughing. When Song Yicheng heard Hu Limei coughing, he quickly asked with concern, "Why did you start smoking, honey?" What unhappy thing happened? "

No problem, nothing? "

"It's okay, let's just go to bed early, okay?" "

Hu Limei gave Song Yicheng a sideways glance, feeling a bit upset in her heart: "I'm not feeling well today, you go ahead and sleep by yourself." Song Yicheng felt a little disappointed, reluctantly dragging his feet towards the bedroom... …

Since then, Song Yicheng was often absent from the family gatherings.

Why hasn't Xiao Song come? Xu Yunna asked.

Today he said he was going to have a drink with his childhood friend. Let him go. He has nothing in common with us, no mood, and he's affecting everyone's emotions. "

Sister, you can't say such things. I think Xiao Song is quite good, honest and well-behaved. At home, you are like a queen, making all the decisions. He even hands over his salary to you. Aren't you satisfied? "

He should have the ability of my brother-in-law. I would rather not be the queen and treat him as the emperor, serving him every day. After finishing speaking, Hu Limei sneakily glanced at Wan Zongren, who pretended not to hear and lowered his head to play with his phone.

Every family has its own difficulties, and your brother-in-law is not perfect either. "

Hu Limei snorted and didn't say anything more, but in her heart she thought: How many people envy you for having 'Wu Song' by your side, and you have gained so much reputation. The leaders in the unit all treat you as a lady of the official, giving you so much face. But I am guarding "Wu Taro" in secret, not knowing what to make fun of. Heavens are so unfair, wasting my beauty.

That night, Hu Limei still didn't want to go back home and decided to stay at Xu Yunna's house. Xu Yunna said, "Anyway, my son's bed is always there for you to sleep in. Stay if you want." Lying in bed, Hu Limei couldn't fall asleep at all. She had no idea how many pancakes she had made. It was almost dawn when she finally felt her eyelids getting heavy... After a while, there was a soft snoring sound coming from the small bedroom.
