Master, That's My Wife and My House! - Chapter 17

“Tomorrow!” Lin Youwei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay, it should be done around tomorrow.”

“Thank you for your hard work.” Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting that Lin Youwei would be such a great help at the crucial moment.

After get off work, the two met at the factory gate and went home together. Lin Youwei’s friends at the factory were full of praise, and several young men even had red eyes when they looked at Chen Feng.

After all, Lin Youwei was the prettiest girl in the workshop, and recently some people had been trying to label her as the so-called “factory beauty,” and there were quite a few young men who secretly admired her.

“Alright, look at you guys. They’re a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Who are you to grumble about?” Lin Youwei’s friend couldn’t help but tease the men who were stomping their feet and gritting their teeth.

“So what if he’s taller, fairer-skinned, and better-looking? What do we lack compared to him?” one person asked angrily.

Everyone was taken aback. “If you remove what you’ve said, is there anything else that can be compared?”

Chen Feng and Lin Youwei had no idea how many young men had been heartbroken because of Lin Youwei. But even if they did know, Chen Feng would only think that these people should thank him. You’ve already done this with a beautiful woman and a handsome man. If you knew that Lin Youwei was originally supposed to be with that eunuch Zhou Zhenglong, wouldn’t you be furious?

Chen Feng had some leftover vegetables from the Wanhuai Coal Mine, so the two of them heated them up, cooked some porridge, and ate some steamed buns they bought from the canteen. That made up their meal.

That’s how it is these days. Dishes are reheated again and again. Everyone’s having a hard time, so naturally there are no experts to explain why reheated dishes are bad for your health.

Humans need to eat to live. If you don’t let them eat, you won’t have to worry about their health after they die.

After dinner, the two had nothing else to do. In those days, not everyone could afford a television, and the same went for a radio. For ordinary families, the best entertainment in the evening was to make love, but then there was no guarantee of safety.

Therefore, besides the reasons researched by experts from various fields, Chen Feng believes that there is another major reason for the population explosion in the 1970s and 1980s: people were exercising too much, making it difficult not to get pregnant.

In the 1970s, abortion was even more unacceptable. People would get pregnant and keep the baby, and then the baby would be born one after another, which would inevitably lead to an overpopulation crisis.

However, he and Lin Youwei couldn’t play this fun yet dangerous game for the time being. Lin Youwei was introverted and gentle, but also had a bit of the stubbornness of a traditional woman. Chen Feng estimated that if Zhou Zhenglong didn’t kill her, they would have a hard time even getting to the final stage.

“So we still have to find a way to kill him first!” Chen Feng muttered.

“Xiaofeng, what do you mean by killing?” Lin Youwei asked, lying next to Chen Feng, puzzled.

“No, I mean the mosquitoes are starting to appear now, and I want to kill them,” Chen Feng said, trying to evade the question.

Lin Youwei looked around, somewhat puzzled, and said, “It’s alright! I didn’t notice any mosquitoes!”

Half asleep, Chen Feng was having a dream when he suddenly felt someone pass over him. He slightly lifted his eyelids and saw Lin Youwei tiptoeing out of the house.

Chen Feng was taken aback, wondering what Lin Youwei was planning to do at this hour, but her sneaky behavior was really suspicious.

Immediately, Chen Feng thought of Zhou Zhenglong. Although that bastard was a eunuch, he was extremely obsessed with Lin Youwei, with a feeling that even if he couldn’t have her, she wouldn’t be happy either.

Adding to the trouble Zhou Zhenglong caused Lin Youwei in the alley yesterday, Chen Feng felt that it was very likely related to Zhou Zhenglong again. Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt somewhat helpless. In the end, in Lin Youwei’s eyes, Zhou Zhenglong was her husband, while he was her husband’s apprentice.

Chen Feng guessed that Lin Youwei must be in great pain. Legally and according to national regulations, Chen Feng was her rightful husband, but according to local customs, Zhou Zhenglong was the rightful husband.

The two identities left Lin Youwei in a dilemma, unsure of which to choose. As a result, while she was completely obedient to Chen Feng, she dared not defy Zhou Zhenglong.

“Damn it, even though I’m the one NTR’ing someone else, why am I so unhappy about it?” Chen Feng felt uncomfortable, so he simply got up and followed, to see what that son of a bitch Zhou Zhenglong was up to now.

Dressed and wearing shoes, Chen Feng opened the door and went out. As he left, he saw Lin Youwei walking forward in the moonlight, seemingly with a clear goal in mind.

Chen Feng remained silent, following behind Lin Youwei. The moon was large and the stars were bright. If he hadn’t been following Lin Youwei, Chen Feng would have liked to stop and look at the starry sky.

It was truly a sky full of stars, but decades later it will be completely invisible. Some children have only heard that the Milky Way is dazzling, but they have no idea what it actually looks like. Light pollution and other factors have caused the Milky Way to hide away, and slowly, it has become something like an urban legend.

Only older people know that the so-called “brilliant Milky Way” is not an exaggeration at all; the twinkling starlight gathered in the Milky Way is truly breathtaking.

As Chen Feng followed Lin Youwei forward, he quickly realized that Lin Youwei was not going anywhere else, but to the factory.

Lin Youwei entered the factory first, followed closely by Chen Feng. The security guard at the gate was about to ask a question when he realized it was Chen Feng and immediately greeted him with a smile, “Technician Chen, are you on the night shift?”

“Ah! No, I left something in the office, I came back to get it.” Chen Feng laughed, then noticed the clock in the security office and exclaimed in surprise, “It’s almost one o’clock, the night shift has been going on for a while now.”

“Yes!” The security guard nodded with a smile.

Without wasting any words, Chen Feng hurriedly walked into the factory and headed towards the workshop. When he arrived, he found that Lin Youwei had already changed into sleeves and an apron, and was holding a blueprint in her hand. She was standing in front of the workbench, carefully looking at it. After confirming that there were no doubts, she picked up the tools and began to process the items according to the blueprint.

Chen Feng stood blankly in front of the door. Although he was a bit far away, he could still recognize the drawings he had made. He never expected that Lin Youwei would come to the factory so late at night to help him process parts. And at this hour, she definitely wouldn’t be allowed to work the night shift.
