Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

The enormous buttocks sat on He Yuzhu's lap, pressing down on him painfully.

But He Yuzhu didn't dare utter a single sarcastic remark now, for fear that Liu Ting would burst into tears.

If the mother-in-law and children at home heard this, they would think something was wrong with the couple.

Liu Ting probably knew what was going on, so she buried her head in He Yuzhu's arms and silently shed tears, her mouth agape as she sobbed without a sound.

The pressure she had been under recently finally erupted at this moment.

Tears soaked through He Yuzhu's clothes all over his chest.

He Yuzhu awkwardly patted Liu Ting's back, humming a lullaby he used to lull the children to sleep a few years ago.

He knew perfectly well why Liu Ting was crying.

This day would come eventually, but he never expected it to be today.

He Yuzhu was also somewhat bewildered; he didn't know how to explain it to Liu Ting.

Since Liu Ting didn't ask, he didn't know what to say.

The two of them remained in that one position for a very long time.

"Hmph...Hmph..." Liu Ting cried for a while, then felt a bit stuffy in her nose and couldn't help but hum twice.

Her movement broke the silence of the scene.

"hiss……

"Wife, get up for a moment..." He Yuzhu said painfully.

The way his wife was sitting hurt him deeply.

He was too scared to move.

This was the first time in over twenty years of marriage that Liu Ting had lost control of her emotions like this.

In the moment he held her, He Yuzhu was truly afraid that Liu Ting would struggle, slam the door, and leave, never to return.

If that were to happen, He Yuzhu would probably give up all his current career in order to pursue his wife.

In his heart, the people he cares about are always the most important.

"How about I talk to the higher-ups and say I'm not going?" He Yuzhu comforted her in a low voice.

After venting her anger, Liu Ting felt much better.

She felt her own incompetence again.

Before anything even happened, before the mistress even showed up at her door, she scared herself so much that she cried.

If the enemy finds out about this, they'll laugh themselves to death.

Unlike He Yuzhu's concerns, she never actually considered quitting.

What she didn't understand was whether He Yuzhu still had feelings for her.

Even though He Yuzhu had always treated her well, she still had doubts in her heart.

The love between men and women can be as enduring as the sea drying up and the rocks crumbling, or as deep as death.

But those are already the results.

Even if Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai had had the courage to transform into butterflies together when they were in love, the outcome would most likely have been different.

After all, once Zhu Yingtai turned into a butterfly while crying at her grave, Ma Wencai and the Zhu family were mostly mortal enemies for life.

Therefore, it seems that Zhu Yingtai ultimately broke through the constraints of feudal ethics.

In fact, she didn't break through in matters of the heart.

If they break through that barrier, she and Liang Shanbo should be happily together.

Most ordinary people's love lives are messed up, requiring much more consideration.

Liu Ting really didn't know how she would live if she left He Yuzhu.

In this respect, she was nowhere near as strong as her mother.

Because she has never lost anything, nor is she prepared to lose anything.

This was her most vulnerable and sensitive time.

Therefore, at this moment, every word and action of He Yuzhu, every word of comfort, could move her. He Yuzhu's words, "I won't go," made Liu Ting feel much better.

She slightly raised her bottom so that He Yuzhu could hide the treasure.

Otherwise, if it really breaks, she will be the one who suffers.

Besides, she didn't want her husband to become the kind of 'father-in-law' who had no masculinity whatsoever.

Those kinds of people always smell of urine; just thinking about it is disgusting.

At this moment, Liu Ting's thought process was quite peculiar.

What came to mind were the service staff who had come from the palace that others had told her about in previous years.

The key is that she is unwilling to dwell on trivial matters anymore.

"Can I not go?" Liu Ting asked He Yuzhu with a pitiful look on her face.

"It's just a matter of me making a phone call; they don't need me," He Yuzhu said casually.

After saying that, he got up to go to the study to make a phone call.

He wasn't lying to Liu Ting; he was genuinely willing to give up this opportunity for her sake.

Even if this opportunity is likely to be his last moment of glory in his career.

"No!" Liu Ting hugged He Yuzhu tightly again.

She knew He Yuzhu was telling the truth.

She believed He Yuzhu could do it, and she could feel that He Yuzhu still cared about her. For Liu Ting, that was enough.

"No, I can't let this interfere with your work."

I'm fine, it's just that I might be going through menopause, and my emotions have been a bit out of control lately.

"Let me hold you for a little while." Liu Ting made up an excuse for herself.

"Should we close the door first?" He Yuzhu said, both amused and exasperated.

Liu Ting is now even better at acting cute than He An.

Liu Ting timidly glanced back and softly hummed in agreement. When He Yuzhu tried to move to close the door, she clung tightly to him and moved with him.

"Oh my, you've gotten so fat, I can't even carry you anymore."

After He Yuzhu closed the door, Liu Ting opened her arms to He Yuzhu in a coquettish manner.

He Yuzhu understood and picked her up. Feeling his wife's weight, he couldn't help but tease her.

"Even if she's chubby, she's still your wife! If you don't hug her, who will?" Liu Ting continued to pout, letting loose her mind. Who doesn't dream of being a princess?

"Yes, she's my wife. All the fat I've raised on her is what makes her look good." He Yuzhu placed one hand on Liu Ting's buttocks and pinched the excess fat on her waist with the other.

He said this quite naturally; these days, the understanding between the mainland and Hong Kong is actually quite similar.

If a man can raise his wife to be plump and healthy, it proves that he is capable.

On the contrary, the model-like figure of later generations, the so-called "skinny beauty," has no market in this era.

Even the two daughters of the He family did not pursue the ultimate in slender beauty.

She's all chubby, otherwise Little Fourth wouldn't have been suppressed by He Yuan and He An.

"...Do you remember what happened in my family before I met you?" He Yuzhu sat on the bed with Liu Ting in his arms. He pondered for a moment, but felt that he should tell his wife some things.

Otherwise, his emotional entanglements would never be clearly explained.

As for whether telling Liu Ting would cause any bad things.

After twenty years of relationship, He Yuzhu believed in Liu Ting's sincerity towards him.

Besides, he definitely wouldn't tell anyone about being reborn.

Who believes it!
Liu Ting stared blankly at He Yuzhu and nodded.

"You should have heard what I was like before my father and the widow ran off to Baoding, right?" He Yuzhu added another prelude.

"Hehe, Yu Shui said that back then people called you 'Silly Pillar,' saying you had no brains at all..." Liu Ting couldn't help but laugh. (End of Chapter)
