Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 72 The Correct Way to Use "Senior Sister"

7 month 11 day.

27-year-old Wang Lili is a housewife.

In her third year of marriage, she keeps her happy little home spotless every day.

Whenever her husband comes home, she serves dinner immediately.

I met my husband during college, and we got married after working for only one year after graduation.

In her interpersonal relationships, Wang Lili also has a very good friend.

The two met in high school and were admitted to the same university after the college entrance examination.

Wang Lili feels that her life is very fulfilling, with a loving husband and close friends.

If one were to nitpick, then in Wang Lili's view, it would be the relationship between her friend and husband.

I wonder if it's true that female best friends don't really like each other's boyfriends.

During college, my best friend's relationship with her boyfriend was rather strained.

When they go out for fun, her best friend doesn't give her boyfriend a friendly look either.

This relationship has continued to this day, and Wang Lili, who is caught in the middle, sometimes feels distressed.

Especially recently, her best friend has been talking badly about her husband behind his back from time to time.

She was also told to keep an eye on whether the other person went straight to sleep after returning home.

They said they saw some comments online that said men usually go straight to sleep after coming home and don't have much verbal communication with their wives, which is a sign of infidelity.

Wang Lili did not heed her best friend's advice.

In her view, her husband works hard every day and is very responsible in taking care of their small home where only the two of them live.

Besides... her husband is such a family man and honest, how could he possibly cheat on her?

Tonight, she had arranged to go shopping with her best friend after she got off work.

Because her husband has been working overtime lately, she's been quite bored at home.

We had made plans, but my best friend suddenly texted me not long ago saying she couldn't make it.

It seems that work kept her from spending time shopping with Wang Lili.

Wang Lili, a housewife, fully understands this.

Although I was a little disappointed, I still replied with a message of encouragement.

With her outing canceled, Wang Lili had no choice but to clean the house.

After being busy for a long time, I am left alone in the empty house.

Feeling bored, she simply turned on the TV and sat on the sofa, idly flipping through channels.

Find the channel you watch often and put down the remote control.

He poured himself a glass of water and sat back down on the sofa.

However, in the short time it took to get a glass of water, the channel that was just playing commercials started showing a new TV series.

As the theme song played, the title of the drama, "The Temptation to Go Home," appeared on the screen.

Wang Lili picked up her water glass and took a small sip.

She remembered that yesterday this channel was showing a period drama, so how come the style has suddenly changed to a modern city today?

Despite her doubts, Wang Lili did not change the channel.

After all, there haven't been many good shows to watch lately, and with summer vacation approaching, other channels have started rebroadcasting dramas that were aired before.

The theme song ends, and the story begins.

As time went by, Wang Lili, who initially just wanted to pass the time, gradually became more involved.

Watching the plot unfold on the television.

The female lead, Liu Pinru, is already married at the beginning of the story. The protagonist who married into a wealthy family seems to be somewhat similar to her, devoting all her energy to the big and small things at home every day.

She had been married for several years but had not been able to conceive, and she also had a close friend.

Perhaps finding something to resonate with, Wang Lili became quite engrossed in the viewing.

As the plot of the first episode unfolds, various characters begin to appear.

As the TV series neared its end, the perspective, which had been focused on the female lead, shifted to her husband, who should have been busy with work.

In the scene, the husband calls his wife, explaining that he can't come home that night because of work.

After the phone call ended, the woman who had been hiding behind the camera changed into her bathrobe and came in.

The female lead's husband hugs her from behind.

The female protagonist's husband cheated on her.

Wang Lili, who was watching television, was immediately shocked by this news.

She initially thought this TV series would be another typical story about everyday family matters, but the unfolding plot gave her a huge shock.

Especially when she discovers that the woman's husband is cheating on her with her best friend.

Her brain lost the ability to think for a moment.

Deep down, she had a bad feeling.

As the first episode ended, the ending theme song began to play.

Wang Lili, who had been sitting on the sofa in a daze, finally came to her senses and hurriedly picked up her phone from the coffee table to call her husband. No one answered.

The uneasy premonition in my heart seemed to grow stronger, so I opened my contacts and found my best friend's number.

The call went unanswered.

An empty room, in front of a television.

Wang Lili dialed her husband's and best friend's numbers repeatedly.

But it was as if the two of them had planned it beforehand.

None of the calls she made were answered.

Saturday.

[The data for the first episode is in! Congratulations!]

I received a new text message on my phone. It was from An Zhaoran, whom I hadn't seen for several days.

Upon seeing the congratulatory text message, Liu Changcun, who was about to drive away, smiled even more broadly.

The broadcast on Friday night took place during a break from the previous period drama on the station.

The first episode received a 1.1 rating.

Looking at the data alone might make it difficult for uninformed people to distinguish between good and bad, but when you think about the period drama that the station aired last time, you can make the most intuitive comparison.

The first episode of the previous period drama had a viewership rating of 0.8.

In this era before the internet has become mainstream, television is still the primary tool for entertainment in every household.

Basically, regardless of age, most people choose to sit in front of the TV and watch programs during their free time.

"The Temptation to Go Home" has already achieved success.

This is incredibly good news for Liu Changcun right now.

After all, he runs a bookstore and is raising his two children alone. Although he owns a house and a storefront, these are assets that cannot be liquidated.

Considering the children's daily expenses and the cost of tutoring classes during the summer vacation.

Liu Changcun urgently needs a substantial income.

Over the years, the original owner of this body had hardly saved any money in order to support his ex-wife Lin Wanran's high consumption.

And he runs a bookstore that doesn't make much money, barely earning any income each month.

Although the upgraded bookstore is now quite profitable, Liu Changcun, who has been busy with filming recently, hasn't had time to visit the bookstore.

This has resulted in the bookstore remaining closed and not operating.

Liu Changcun didn't feel any regret about it.

After all, he believed that if the drama "The Temptation of Going Home" flopped, he would then sell the bookstore.

In his view, the bookstore itself was just a transition.

With the ratings for the first episode now in, and given the current momentum, "The Temptation to Go Home," originally planned for 35 episodes, is expected to be filmed as a 60-episode series.

Liu Changcun, who was a screenwriter in his previous life, had a lot of experience in writing filler stories.

Repeating similar scenes multiple times can easily lengthen the series.

Driving on the road, heading towards the city center.

Currently, the filming of "The Temptation to Go Home" has reached the point where the female lead undergoes a transformation.

Compared to her initial rustic appearance, the female lead, after her makeover, certainly can no longer dress up casually.

To make a significant change in one's appearance, it's necessary to seek guidance from a professional.

Especially in terms of jewelry.

After all, in the later plot, the female lead will pretend to be a rich girl to carry out her revenge, so the jewelry she wears absolutely cannot be a cheap prop.

When director Rupert Hoogewerf mentioned this point, a person immediately came to Liu Changcun's mind.

Wen Yunwei.

The jewelry made by the senior student was loved by her daughter. Although Liu Changcun didn't know much about design, even as a layman, he could tell whether it was good or not.

Without a doubt, the senior student's design was excellent.

It just so happens that when they last met, Wen Yunwei was still setting up a stall near the square.

Now, more than half a month has passed, and it is unclear whether the other party has made any progress after listening to my advice.

However, considering their family's current financial situation, if they could join the film crew, it would likely improve their current economic situation to some extent.

The car slowed down until it stopped at a red light.

While waiting at a red light, Liu Changcun picked up his phone again.

I found the phone number of my senior, Wen Yunwei.

Called.
