Remarriage to a Mortal Enemy in the 70s

Chapter 16: face

Views:

Unlike the warm sun yesterday, today was cloudy and the room was dark, making Gu Sheng's handsome face dim. Wang Youli stared at him, unable to discern his expression, and walked over to whisper:

"Old Gu, tell me the truth, was that a play you two put on yesterday?"

After Wang Youli sobered up today, the more he thought about yesterday, the more he felt something was wrong, especially the mother and son who appeared at the wedding banquet. At the table, Wang Youli seemed to have heard someone mention that this "new sister-in-law" was originally going to marry another person, but suddenly remarried these days, and remarried her infatuated "childhood sweetheart".

—Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng? The childhood sweetheart who was waiting for him passionately? Wang Youli couldn't connect them together no matter what. Thinking about what Gu Sheng said before, it was obvious that they were not childhood sweethearts, but enemies in the previous life. Wang Youli contacted an old comrade this morning to find out that Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping had been at odds since childhood. No one who knew them well believed that they would really get married. The way Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping behaved at the wedding banquet yesterday was obviously an act.

"Now that Dr. Zhan has both face and substance, you two probably don't plan on getting married, right?"

If this was just for show, it would have ended today.

Gu Sheng opened a chocolate and paused after hearing this: "Who said my marriage was fake? We will get the marriage certificate once it's approved."

Wang Youli: “…” That’s right, Gu Sheng had a heavy bleeding yesterday. If it was just a show, there would be no need to do this.

But this isn't right

Wang Youli asked again: "Did you two not sleep in the same bed on your wedding night yesterday?"

Gu Sheng said calmly: "Sleep, one quilt."

It’s the real deal, a quilt, but this is the way you sleep and not that. A man cannot lose face.

"Sleep, sleep." Wang Youli almost choked on his own saliva: "Then why did you come back with such a stinky face so early in the morning?"

Holding such a beautiful doctor in his arms, how could he not be more gentle and affectionate with her, and whisper in her ears

"You two had a fight?"

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, then said, "She asked me to praise her for being virtuous, but I didn't."

Wang Youli: “…”

Wang Youli didn't know how to respond to this.

Gu Sheng really wanted to talk to someone, so he continued, "She promised me that she would do all the housework in the future. She said that she wanted to be a good and virtuous wife."

Wang Youli's face was about to crack. He remembered his letter of guarantee. A girl from Shanghai came all the way to marry him, and he wrote a letter of guarantee, promising to hand over his salary and do all the housework he could as long as he was at home. He also quit smoking and drinking.

Wang Youli had no objection to the letter of guarantee, but... the beast in front of him was too ungrateful. A beautiful doctor said she wanted to marry him, and that she would take care of all the housework and be a virtuous and good wife.

How can such a person be so rude

Sizzle him!

Wang Youli crossed his arms and glared at him: "If such a good thing really happened, why did you come back with such a bad face?"

Gu Sheng: "Because I don't believe it."

"Just like I don't believe you can quit smoking, your letter of guarantee is bullshit."

Wang Youli: “…” Damn, this dog is a beast.

"You still have the nerve to disbelieve me. At least she has shown her attitude. She is also a college student, has the same job and gets the same salary. Why should she do all the housework? Are you dead?"

“You have nothing to say, Gu Sheng, your attitude is wrong. It’s not easy to be a soldier’s wife. You should be more understanding. We young people should not learn from those... who are hands-off bosses at home and don’t even help when things get tough. We should lend a hand if we can at home.” Wang Youli talks with his partner about the future every day. He is now determined to be a good husband in the military compound and a role model for all men.

He wished he could drag a few more people into the water.

As an instructor, he must "criticize and correct" young male comrades like Gu Sheng who have incorrect thoughts.

Gu Sheng: “…”

Wang Youli hummed a few times, thinking that you were speechless. He asked curiously, "Your sister-in-law asked you to praise her for being virtuous. What did she do today?"

Gu Sheng no longer wanted to talk about this topic, so he casually said, "Just help me put on my clothes and button them."

He didn't say that he helped her wash clothes, made her bed sheets, folded her quilts, and cleaned the house for her, but in the end he only got a handful of chocolates he bought. He couldn't say all this... After all, this man can't lose face.

Wang Youli's breathing stagnated. If he could beat Gu Sheng, he really wanted to hit him. What did "just help me put on clothes" mean? That was the married life he had always dreamed of.

When I woke up, my lover was sleeping beside me. She even dressed me and buttoned my clothes...

This beast enjoyed it before him, and he is still talking nonsense here, not taking it seriously. He really doesn't know how to appreciate what he has!

Gu Sheng laughed: "Is it fun for me to lie to you?"

Wang Youli: "Do you understand what happens between men and women?" Could it be that nothing happened

Gu Sheng rolled his eyes: "You want to fight?"

Even if Wang Youli imagined it, it would be impossible. After all, there were many men in the military camp, and there would always be some who could tell dirty jokes. Even if Gu Sheng was a virgin, he couldn't be that stupid.

He's still like this when sleeping in the same bed. Is there something wrong with his sex life

Wang Youli looked at him with a strange look.

Gu Sheng’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: “…”

Although this bed is not that bed, he can't say anything and must not lose face as a man.

Wang Youli came over and whispered curiously: "Why don't you tell me, I won't hide it from you, I haven't been with a girl yet-"

Gu Sheng thought: Me too.

But he waved his hand in a very casual and annoying manner: "Women are not interesting. There is nothing to talk about."

"It's enough to have only one daughter-in-law. Marry her and put her aside so that those sisters-in-law won't keep urging you."

"A man should focus on his career and not indulge in romantic relationships all the time."

His look of a complete scumbag made Wang Youli deeply understand what the sisters-in-law in the family compound said when they taught the little girls: good-looking men are not good people.

"When choosing a man, choose one who can understand your feelings."

That is someone like Wang Youli, who is wise, kind and considerate, a cultured, sentimental and romantic confidant.

As expected, the commanders of these soldiers are all rough and need to be properly educated by the political workers. Wang Youli shook his head: "Look, are you talking like a human being? As expected, you are a soldier under Captain Jiang. You learned this from your captain."

Captain Jiang is a ruthless man. He is ruthless in leading his troops and is a powerful person. He is also a well-known old bachelor. His first wife was arranged in the countryside. It is said that she passed away on the wedding day. As a result, his wife fell ill and died in the third year, and he became a widower.

This is nothing. There are many people in the army who introduce him to girls. However, when Captain Jiang was young, he had white hair and was a little bald when he was only 24 or 25 years old, so the girls disliked him. Of course, there were also girls who didn't dislike him because of his status. Captain Jiang felt disgusted with himself and got angry, so he decided to just give up and become a bachelor.

Captain Jiang is now able to feed his entire family and has no interest in starting a family. While others boast about their “wife, children and a warm bed” in front of him, he also shows off the advantages of being a bachelor: he does not have to support a family or raise children, he spends his salary on himself, drinks good wine, smokes good cigarettes, does not have to hand in his salary, and does not have to listen to his wife’s nagging. He is as happy as a god.

Gu Sheng is one of Captain Jiang's favorite generals, and it seems that he has grasped the essence of their bachelor group.

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Do you dare to say this to our leader?"

Wang Youli: “…”

"Your leader knows you're getting married. What does he think?"

Gu Sheng said lazily: "He has no objection." This means that there will be one less shield in the future.

In the past, when they were eating together, he had already helped Captain Jiang share enough of the firepower, and all the pressure to get married was on him.

He was young, handsome, and from a good family, so he was a hot commodity. Once the sisters-in-law saw him, they no longer cared about Captain Jiang and were only focused on introducing him to potential partners.

Wang Youli sighed and advised earnestly: "Your sister-in-law is a good woman. You should learn from me, the good husband of the future family compound, instead of from your regiment commander."

Gu Sheng chuckled and planned to take a nap.

"You really should not be like this. Be more modest. Be careful that your sister-in-law will regret not going with you. Although the matter is settled, you two haven't obtained the marriage certificate yet. It's not too late for her to regret. Such a beautiful girl, why don't you stay in Shanghai and become a teacher or a doctor in the future?"

Gu Sheng paused, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

Wang Youli, who stayed where he was, shook his head. He sighed and lamented, but at the same time, he inevitably felt a sense of relief.

It is indeed unlikely that the letter of guarantee he wrote would be perfect, but his attitude was there and he would definitely do it actively.

Even if it doesn’t work...

At least there is a negative example like Gu Sheng to serve as a backup.
