Chapter 3: The Wife at Home

  The neighbors were gossiping, and Wei Hong heard some of it. Although he knew that Zhang Youhai had a notorious cousin, he didn't feel any fear in his heart. Before crossing over, Wei Hong had also beaten up arrogant rich second-generation kids like Zhang Youhai - this wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last.

  Zhang Youhai's hands were tightly clasped together, his body curled up and motionless. Wei Hong was a seasoned veteran who had been through ups and downs, and seeing Zhang Youhai not making any noise or movement, he quickly thought of a passage about the monk Lu Zhishen killing Townsman Wu, and regardless of whether this guy was really hurt or just pretending, he couldn't let himself be at a moral disadvantage. Taking advantage of his seamless acting skills, in front of the neighbors, he shouted loudly: "Report to the authorities! I want to report to the authorities! Zhang Youhai is too daring, what's the world coming to? Is there still any king's law?"

  The wicked Weihong, without even blushing, grabbed Zhang Youhai's collar and scolded him nonstop. He dragged Zhang away, but didn't head to the yamen (government office), since Weihong had just crossed over and didn't know which direction the entrance was. Instead, he headed towards a less crowded area and quickly pulled Zhang into a small alleyway, tossing him to the ground before returning. Then, intentionally speaking loudly to Yuanniang, he said: "What good luck! I'd barely taken two steps outside when I ran into an official, and Zhang Youhai has already been taken away." On the surface, this was said for Yuanniang's benefit, but in reality, it was meant for the neighbors to hear.

  Since ancient times, the government office has always been for those with money and power. Wei Hong is now without money or influence, if he really goes to the government office, he will be the one to suffer a loss. What kind of person is Wei Hong? How could he make such a low-level mistake?

  Wan Niang was frightened by Wei Hong's strange behavior and couldn't speak. In Wan Niang's memory, her husband was a weak scholar who couldn't even lift his shoulders or hands, but how did he become so intimidating after waking up? He could knock down the local rascals with just one hand, this wasn't a weak scholar at all, but a martial artist!

  Wei Hong is not a martial artist, but an intellectual with higher education. He always puts the word 'reason' first in everything, however when dealing with people like Zhang Youhai, Wei Hong still upholds the principle of 'if you can use force, don't bother arguing', and beats him up!

  At this time, the neighbors had already gathered around, surrounding Wei Hong in the middle, as if admiring a rare animal, looking at him with curiosity.

  "Hey, Wei Xianggong, when did you wake up? How come we didn't know?"

  "Wei Xianggong, just now when you beat Zhang Youhai, it was really relieving!"

  "Wan Niang's good fortune has finally arrived! From now on, with you protecting her, just see which man dares to cause trouble!"

  The neighbors were talking with seven mouths and eight tongues, and Wei Hong's heart couldn't help but rise with a sense of pride. It seemed that doing things like "eliminating harm for the people" was something he should do more often in the future. Not to mention anything else, just this reputation alone would skyrocket upwards.

  Wei Hong was a seasoned public speaker, having lectured to thousands of people in the company before, and he could still speak fluently. But Wei Niang was different, being an introverted and shy person, she was surrounded by so many people, her small face turned bright red, smiling and pulling Wei Hong back: "My husband has just woken up, his body is weak, needs to rest well, let's wait until my husband's body recovers, then we'll visit you all again."

  The neighbors thought, with a few punches, Zhang Youhai would be knocked down, and his body was weak too? If he were good at it, I'm afraid no one in the entire Hangzhou city could be a match for Wei Xianggong.

  "Husband, you... how did you become so formidable?" asked Wen Niang breathlessly after she had calmed down.

  Wei Hong rubbed his nose and thought to himself that if he told the truth about defeating the school's unbeatable champion, Yuanni would definitely not believe him, and might even think he was crazy. So Wei Hong decided to make up a lie and get past it, saying: "Yuanni, you don't know this, but when other people wake up from being unconscious, their bodies are usually very weak. But I was resting and recovering while I was unconscious, so naturally I'm feeling refreshed and energized now."

  "Rest and recuperation?"

  Wan Niang didn't quite understand what was going on, but she also didn't bother to think about it too much. As long as her husband woke up, everything would be alright.

  After waiting for so long, husband woke up now, and Yuanniang's heart is like winter gone spring come, regained vitality. Before Yuanniang cooked with a frown, but today cooking with a smile, constantly chatting with Weihong sitting on the bed about recent events. The dish is simple farmhouse dish, no meat inside, since Weihong woke up, Yuanniang was so excited that she forgot to buy meat, it's late now, the butcher shop closed, went there in vain, so simply cooked the vegetables to the extreme.

  When eating, Wan Niang kept serving dishes to Wei Hong and even brought the food to his mouth. As long as Wei Hong opened his mouth, he could eat it. It was really a case of "clothes come to stretch out your hands and rice comes to open your mouth". Wei Hong had been strong-willed since childhood, not even his mother had served him like this before. After eating two bites, Wei Hong couldn't bear it anymore and insisted on doing it himself. However, Wan Niang was unwilling to give in and seemed about to burst into tears at any moment. Wei Hong couldn't stand women crying, so he retreated and let Wan Niang serve him.

  Eating the dishes handed to him by Wan Niang, Wei Hong's mind was actually thinking about a very practical problem - how should he sleep later? But when this thing really happened to himself, Wei Hong was somewhat at a loss. In addition to being embarrassed, he also had some expectations. Finally, Wei Hong hesitated for a moment and thought, what was he thinking? Now that he was Wan Niang's man, it was logical and moral for him to sleep with her!

  Wan Niang didn't know what kind of obscene thoughts Wei Hong had in his mind, she just focused on serving him dishes. In Wan Niang's eyes, the man in front of her was her husband, and she didn't have any suspicions! As for tonight's events, Wan Niang wasn't worried at all. On the first night after marriage, her husband got drunk, and the next day he passed out from drinking too much, so Wan Niang remained a virgin until now. If her husband wanted her tonight, Wan Niang wouldn't refuse, because the concept of "three obediences and four virtues" had been deeply rooted in her pure heart: the husband is heaven, the wife is earth, as long as the husband says it's okay, Wan Niang would do her best to make it happen!

  In ancient times, people went to bed early. After dinner, Wei Hong still wanted to go out for a stroll and digest his food, also to breathe in the fresh air of ancient times that had not been polluted. However, Wan Niang immediately made the bed, brought a basin of hot water for Wei Hong, urged him to sit on the bed, and prepared to wash his feet.
