Chapter 3

Uncle was pleased to hear this, as he was worried about not having anyone around. He quickly invited Cheng Yi to come and play, also mentioning that the stakes were not high.

After more than half a month of not contacting her, she seemed off again, so she changed her phone card

Ah, you agreed to it back then, and later you did not oppose the banquet. The old man asked me to get the certificate with you, and you were so pleased on the side. Am I forcing you? Clearly, it is your insistence that keeps me from leaving.

Cheng Yi engaged in conversation with her uncle, glancing at the mahjong table, speaking in a very cordial manner. "Uncle, we are missing one player for this game of mahjong."

Zhou Honghong felt that his nonchalant attitude was insincere. "What kind of gentleman do you think you are? Moreover... modern society advocates for free love."

He grasped her waist, pushed her down onto the bed, and leaned over her, biting at the skin exposed outside her clothing

"You are certainly not just a cook, you are my wife," Cheng Yi said playfully, lifting her face to kiss her.

She truly encountered Cheng Yi, the person she never wanted to see again

I will no longer cook for you. I am not your cook.

This uncle's shop is too busy, I have to help out no matter what. Zhou Honghong finally took a breath.

I was busy for a while. Once I finished, I wanted to eat the barbecued pork ribs you made. When I got home and found you weren't there, I tried calling your number but it was no longer in service, so I came here.

She called home and said she was fired. However, she did not dare to mention that it was that scoundrel who caused her to lose her job

He paused his hand and said with a reluctant expression: "My cousin is calling me to help, uncle, let's play again next time"

Cheng Yi was feeling a bit restless. Seeing that Zhou Honghong was ignoring him, he decided not to pay her any mind and went over to play.

"When have you ever made me feel at ease?" Zhou Honghong truly felt powerless. "Cheng Yi, what are you doing here? You are usually so busy, and coming here must have delayed so many things."

Cheng Yi was almost poked in the eye by her and became angry. "Zhou Honghong, you are truly insufferable!"

"Wife, spread your legs," Cheng Yi's voice was already tinged with intense desire

Cheng Yi said to his uncle that he had private matters to discuss with Zhou Honghong

You need to help me according to your ability. What do you mean by not going back? It would be best if you could explain it clearly to me

The next day, the leader severely reprimanded Zhou Honghong and also issued a public criticism on the company's OA system, subsequently ordering her to leave. The whispers among colleagues made her feel quite uncomfortable. The work at this company was relatively easy, and the benefits were decent, but everything was ruined by Cheng Yi's interference

Zhou Honghong felt angry again at the thought that he had taken so long to realize she was gone I will not go back

Immediately, I packed my luggage, purchased the fastest train ticket, and hurried to Huangxi Town

Then tell me, how are you and I no longer free?

Zhou Honghong felt a sudden darkness before her eyes. He sought her out for the purpose of eating the pork ribs she had cooked

She has always said that she does not care about the process; in any case, it is common for her to be so provoked by him that she grits her teeth

Zhou Honghong was angered by these words and raised her head. "What do you mean?"

After Zhou Honghong regained her composure, she still did not want to pay attention to Cheng Yi. However, seeing that her uncle and those two companions were growing increasingly displeased, that guy continued to leisurely enjoy his victory.

Zhou Honghong pushed his face. "Speak if you want to speak, but do not use your hands or feet."

After walking for a while, Zhou Honghong noticed that there were fewer passersby and then said: "Did you not see how my uncle looks? How could you take advantage of him with a clear conscience"

Cheng Yi glanced at the direction of those passersby, appearing indifferent. "This is the place you chose. That's why I said, come back with me, and we can sort out our matters behind closed doors."

Zhou Honghong is indeed thin-skinned; thinking of her uncle still being downstairs, she no longer dares to call out. Her uncle and the others are unaware of the conflict between her and Cheng Yi. She fears that they might catch wind of something, and with their idle chatter, who knows what kind of story they would concoct.

She hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "You don't consider the occasion when you speak."

Zhou Honghong struck him, shouting: "Beast, rogue"

She feels too constrained. Cheng Yi is not one to do good deeds

Uncle Da felt that there were few people coming to eat, so he said that everyone was taking a break together, and he even called over people from the neighboring shop to play mahjong. After playing for a while, someone also mentioned wanting to go to a wedding banquet.

After Cheng Yi locked the door and saw that there was not a single chair, he sat down on the bed. "Come, come, let us discuss the reason for your escape this time."

The casino is like a battlefield, I am open and aboveboard, so why should I feel embarrassed. Well, don't you just want to be at ease? Later, when I go back, I will play a few rounds with him and win back what I lost.

Zhou Honghong looked at him in astonishment, momentarily at a loss for words

She was rendered speechless by him, her face flushed as she looked at him: "You..." After stammering for a long time, she still couldn't articulate a coherent thought.

However, the uncle nearby noticed and came over to greet. In fact, the uncle had not seen the process at all; he had only heard that his niece married someone who looked quite good. He thought that the young man before him was the best-looking one he had ever seen.

"Ha, what kind of gentleman am I?" Cheng Yi reached out to take off her pants, continuing to speak incessantly. "What are you hiding for? Over the years, have I not seen enough? I know every single hair of yours clearly."

Zhou Honghong urged him, "Do not sit on my bed, your clothes haven't been washed for several days"

On this day, a family in the town was hosting a banquet, and many people went to celebrate the joyous occasion.

What do you want from me! Why didn't you come to find me for more than half a month before!

Zhou Honghong told herself to remain calm. After taking a few deep breaths, she turned back to reasoning. "Now, we live in a scientific society; what you are doing is superstition"

He was pulled up to his feet by her. "It was still to find you that I ran back to town, your mother said you came here."

Zhou Honghong was afraid of making too much noise and disturbing her uncle downstairs, while also trying to avoid Cheng Yi's wolf-like claws, which left her in a very awkward situation. In the end, her pants were still torn off by him

"Zhou Honghong, you are not only a shrew, but also a venomous woman" Cheng Yi's gaze turned icy.

Cheng Yi walked towards Zhou Honghong with a smile. "Wife, are you willing to talk to me now?"

Zhou Honghong did not want her uncle to see the scene of her quarrel with Cheng Yi, so she took Cheng Yi upstairs and entered her small room.

Zhou's mother originally found it strange that Zhou Honghong suddenly got together with Cheng Yi, and Zhou Honghong honestly told her that it was to please the old master. However, later on, Zhou's mother grew fonder of Cheng Yi the more she saw him, and she had already regarded him as her son-in-law. When Cheng Yi initially suggested hosting a banquet, Zhou's mother even remarked that he was a responsible young man.

The uncle quickly nodded, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead... Finally saved

Before the old man passed away, I knelt by his bedside and swore that I would definitely get a marriage certificate with you. Now, this is great; you want me to be cut off from my descendants, don't you? You are truly malicious; this move is too cruel. After knowing you for so long, I only just realized that you still have this trick up your sleeve

She looked at him, knowing that if she mentioned this again, he would surely find fault with her here, so she said softly: "Let's talk about this later, first accompany me to go shopping"

Zhou Honghong turned her head and walked away, heading towards the market, while Cheng Yi followed at a leisurely pace

Zhou Honghong nodded in agreement, she no longer wanted to be with that annoying Cheng Yi

He instead laughed. "Go ahead and shout, shout as loud as you can, so that even your uncle can hear you."

I just like it

Cheng Yi was even happier when he heard her call him. In fact, he had long wanted to withdraw. The three opponents were too weak, their victory was unearned, and most importantly, the stakes were too low.

His expression changed. "Say it again."

Zhou Honghong could hardly believe that he would say such vulgar words in the street. Fortunately, there were only a few passersby nearby; otherwise, if someone had overheard, she wouldn't know where to put her face

Uncle is quite perceptive and suggested that we could discuss matters upstairs in the room

Cheng Yi once again adopted a cold tone: "You know I delay things. Zhou Honghong, you have been here for more than half a month, how much longer do you plan to stay?"

Cheng Yi surveyed the room. "You don't want to go back, you just enjoy huddling in such a small space."

Huangxi Town is truly a wonderful place for retirement. The sky is tranquil, and the air is serene. Zhou Honghong feels that her mood has also become calmer.

Cheng Yi also took her feelings into consideration and did not speak further

Uncle Da scratched his itch and asked Zhou Honghong if she knew how to play Mahjong

It is truly a source of constant worry

Come on. I may not have read as many books as you, but I still understand the principle of 'A gentleman's word is hard to retract.' Since I have said that I will marry you, even if you are unwilling, I will take you home by force if necessary

Mom Zhou suddenly remembered that Uncle Zhou was short of hands while talking, and asked Zhou Honghong if she would be willing to go over and help out until the end of the year

Zhou Honghong replied that she completely did not understand, sitting at the cash register and cracking sunflower seeds. She thought to herself that if Cheng Yi saw this, he would definitely want to touch it a couple of times

She no longer dared to look at him, her momentum weakened considerably, yet she still said: "I will not go back"

The first thing Cheng Yi said to her, looking weary from travel, was: "Zhou Honghong, when are you going back?"

Mother Zhou was not particularly concerned, comforting her by saying, "Last time, Xiao Cheng mentioned that he would support the family. Seeing you work so hard, it pains his heart. Anyway, the New Year is approaching, so there's no rush to find a new job after the holiday."

Just thought of him, and then

Zhou Honghong thought that she no longer wanted to be with that annoying Cheng Yi

We are not in a free love situation. It is you who is forcing me.

She softened her attitude. "A gentleman speaks but does not act with violence"

When the two returned from the market, the uncle had already tidied up the mahjong table, fearing that Cheng Yi would ask him to play again

Zhou Honghong's mouth twitched

She could no longer hold back. "Cheng Yi, I am going to the market, come with me to carry things."
