Master, That's My Wife and My House! - Chapter 1
“Xiaofeng! Listen to your master and marry your master’s wife! Would I, your master, ever harm you?” The man with scars on his face spoke earnestly, holding a glass of wine in his hand, saying things that left people bewildered.
In order to get a house, he tricked himself into a fake marriage with his teacher’s wife, Lin Youwei. Then, after he got the house, he set a trap to frame him and put him in jail.
Chen Feng’s parents in the rural production team refused to believe that their son was that kind of person. In order to seek justice for Chen Feng, they spent almost all their time petitioning in various places except during the busy farming season. As a result, his father died of illness, and his mother died in a car accident on the road.
Because of Chen Feng’s reputation as a former convict, no good family wanted to marry the eldest sister, so she married a disabled man who abused her. The eldest brother died in a coal mine accident while trying to raise money for his father’s medical treatment.
When Chen Feng was released from prison, only his younger brother and sister remained in his family. They survived by relying on subsidies from the village committee and begging.
It can be said that Zhou Zhenglong, that bastard, not only ruined his own life, but also ruined several generations of the Chen family.
“Look at you, you just freeze up whenever this comes up. Your master is only doing this for your own good.” Zhou Zhenglong sighed and continued, “You know, our factory finally managed to allocate housing, but how many of those are actually allocated to ordinary workers? Only dual-income families are eligible for housing. If you don’t marry your master’s wife, where are you going to find a partner?”
Zhou Zhenglong’s words made the woman in the red sweater next to him blush, whether from shyness or because of the light reflecting off her red sweater.
Zhou Zhenglong is thirty-two years old this year. Back then, he took over his uncle’s job at the Wanhuai Machinery Factory. What was once a job that even dogs wouldn’t look down on has now become a formal employee, with a guaranteed food supply, and he’s starting to look good back home.
Last year, I spent money to find a woman in my hometown, who is now Lin Youwei. But it’s funny, before that son of a bitch Zhou Zhenglong could even go back to enjoy his wedding night, he suffered a work injury while operating equipment after drinking. And he was on the verge of death when the mechanical arm hit Zhou Zhenglong in the crotch. From then on, the new China had one more eunuch.
Lin Youwei is only twenty-four years old this year, while Zhou Zhenglong is eight years younger. She is beautiful and has a youthful innocence unique to that era. She has a pair of bright, watery eyes that, for some reason, can make people feel itchy just by looking at them. In particular, she has a good figure, and all the nutrition goes to the right places, which makes Chen Feng have to admit… that he is despicable.
Zhou Zhenglong caused significant losses to the factory by operating the equipment while intoxicated, and was immediately dismissed. However, considering his injuries, he was given a replacement position, which was naturally given to his new wife, Lin Youwei.
Now that the factory is allocating housing, priority is given to dual-income families. Zhou Zhenglong has his eye on this matter and proposed that his apprentice, Chen Feng, have a fake marriage with his master’s wife, Lin Youwei, to get the housing first, and then divorce them later. Whether it’s the housing or monetary compensation, they will benefit from it.
Chen Feng sneered inwardly. In his previous life, he had trusted Zhou Zhenglong too much, only to be framed and imprisoned by Zhou Zhenglong. His promising future had turned into a devastating end.
He glanced at Lin Youwei beside him. This stupid woman, just like Chen Feng, did things according to Zhou Zhenglong’s plan. Who would have thought that she would end up ruining Chen Feng and suffering a bad end herself? A few years later, she was beaten to death by Zhou Zhenglong in a drunken domestic violence incident.
“Oh my god! You’re such a silent devil! Can’t you just say something?!” Zhou Zhenglong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when Chen Feng remained silent.
Chen Feng sneered inwardly. In his previous life, Zhou Zhenglong, that bastard, had ruined him terribly. Now that he had been reborn, he was determined to avenge himself. He would make Zhou Zhenglong know what it meant to lose both his wife and his army.
“Master, I don’t have any objections, but didn’t your wife get married to you?” Chen Feng asked with a simple and honest expression.
Upon hearing that Chen Feng had taken the bait, Zhou Zhenglong immediately said, “Don’t worry about that. We haven’t registered our marriage or held a banquet. You two can go get a marriage certificate tomorrow. As long as I say your teacher’s wife is your wife, then she is your wife, and no one can argue with that.”
Chen Feng didn’t hesitate and nodded, saying, “Alright, Master, you’re right. Anyway, we’ll all benefit. If we don’t seize this opportunity, who knows when we’ll get another room?”
Zhou Zhenglong laughed heartily, immediately poured Chen Feng a glass of wine, and praised him, “Xiao Feng, you’ve finally figured it out! Not taking advantage of the government is the act of a coward!”
After saying that, Zhou Zhenglong seemed to remember something and solemnly said to Chen Feng, “Xiao Feng, there’s something I need to make clear to you. Your marriage with your master’s wife is a sham. You… you must never have any improper thoughts about your master’s wife.”
Chen Feng, looking indignant, stood up abruptly and said, “Master, isn’t what you’re saying like an insult? If you can’t do it, find someone else! I quit.”
Zhou Zhenglong chuckled at Chen Feng’s reaction. This student from vocational school was young and easily embarrassed, making him easy to handle. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to pull this stunt on anyone else.
“No, no, no! If Master didn’t believe you, would he have come to you?!” Zhou Zhenglong quickly raised his glass and said, “Master misspoke. I believe you, I definitely believe you!”
The two clinked glasses and exchanged toasts, while Lin Youwei kept her head down, quietly eating her food without saying a word.
After a few rounds of drinks, Zhou Zhenglong had drunk enough and said goodbye to Chen Feng with Lin Youwei.
“Xiaofeng, we’ve got a deal. See you at the marriage registration office tomorrow. If you don’t come up here to marry your master’s wife, I’m not happy about it,” Zhou Zhenglong shouted, his voice booming with the effects of the alcohol.
Chen Feng nodded with a smile and said, “Master, don’t worry!” Then he looked at Lin Youwei and said, “Master’s wife, I’ll marry you tomorrow!”
Lin Youwei’s fair face immediately turned red, and she looked somewhat at a loss.
After saying goodbye to Chen Feng, Lin Youwei helped him back to his residence. She quickly fetched water for Zhou Zhenglong to wash his face, and after Zhou Zhenglong lay down on the bed, she tidied up the washbasin.
Before her hand could even touch the washbasin, Zhou Zhenglong kicked it over, making Lin Youwei shudder with a loud crash.
“Look at your shameless face!” Zhou Zhenglong cursed, “You filthy bitch, are you already eager to marry Chen Feng? It’s true what they say, a bitch and a dog are a match made in heaven! I see you staring at this young man so much that your eyes are practically gouging into your flesh.”
“I’m gone,” Lin Youwei whispered in protest.
“Fuck your mother, you dare talk back!” Zhou Zhenglong’s eyes widened as he pulled out his belt and lashed it hard against Lin Youwei, roaring, “Let’s see if you dare talk back again!”
Lin Youwei, being whipped, bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with tears that blurred her vision, yet she remained silent, biting her lip.
Zhou Zhenglong shook himself, looking somewhat embarrassed, and lay back down on the bed, cursing, “If I hurt you, it won’t be good to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.”
After saying that, Zhou Zhenglong sat up abruptly, glaring fiercely at Lin Youwei and saying, “Lin Youwei, you remember this: I paid money for your family. You’re mine in life and in death. Don’t have any other ideas! Do you hear me?”
Lin Youwei wiped away her tears, remained silent, and began to clean up the overturned washbasin.
Looking at the beautiful Lin Youwei, Zhou Zhenglong felt a surge of anger rising in his chest, and muttered under his breath, “You filthy bitch!”
