Master, That's My Wife and My House! - Chapter 34

Chen Feng was taken aback and said speechlessly, “Where did you get this information from?”

“Don’t worry about it. Just because I’m no longer working at the machine factory doesn’t mean I don’t know anything. I’m well-informed,” Zhou Zhenglong said angrily.

Chen Feng wasn’t particularly strange; these days, people don’t have much entertainment, so gossip spreads exceptionally quickly.

Zhang Laosan entered Widow Li’s house, and before either of them had even taken their pants off, the whole brigade probably already knew.

“Just tell me, is this true or not?” Zhou Zhenglong said angrily.

Chen Feng nodded without hesitation, “If someone else asked me this, I would definitely say it’s false, but since you asked me, Master, it is indeed true.”

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s admission, Zhou Zhenglong stamped his feet anxiously and gritted his teeth, saying, “How could you go to the Wanhuai Coal Mine?! If you go, what will happen to the houses at the machinery factory? What will happen to your master’s wife?”

Chen Feng’s face turned cold as he said, “Then Master, if you speak louder so everyone can hear, will you have a solution? What did I just tell you? If someone asks me, it’s definitely not true!”

Zhou Zhenglong was stunned for a moment, and after regaining his senses, he said in a daze, “You want to get the house first, and then go to the Wanhuai Coal Mine?”

Chen Feng said coldly, “Otherwise what? The leader wanted to transfer me there, and I tried every means to hold out for the time being, just to wait until the housing allocation was completed before leaving. But you guys are making a big fuss about it everywhere, as if you’re afraid others won’t know?”

Zhou Zhenglong hesitated for a moment before saying, “But…but will the company agree? After you’ve allocated the housing here, the person there will be transferred. They won’t take the housing back, will they?”

Chen Feng gestured for Lin Youwei to go inside first, and then pulled Zhou Zhenglong aside to speak quietly.

“Why should they take it back? When the house was allocated, wasn’t I a worker at the machine factory? Was there anything wrong with it? Even if I left after the house was allocated, isn’t my wife still a worker at the machine factory?”

“That’s my wife,” Zhou Zhenglong pointed out.

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhenglong. “Is this the time to talk about this? Besides, Master, do you think I held back from leaving for whom? Wasn’t it for you, Master!”

“Huh!?” Zhou Zhenglong’s mouth dropped open, and for a moment he couldn’t figure out what this had to do with him.

“What does this have to do with me?”

Chen Feng said with a solemn expression, “Master, the reason I’m holding back now is so that when I do go, I can bring with me the merit I earned. I want to save that merit for when I need you to do something for me.”

“Do things for me?” Zhou Zhenglong was even more bewildered.

“Yes! You’ve been fired from the machine factory and castrated. You’ve lost all face. How embarrassing will it be if you see your former colleagues from the machine factory again?” Chen Feng asked.

Zhou Zhenglong hesitated, thinking to himself that he hadn’t thought anything of it before, but now that you’ve brought it up… it’s quite embarrassing.

Chen Feng continued, “You’re my master, and I certainly don’t want to see you suffer like this! So after I got in touch with Section Chief Wu at Wanhuai Coal Mine, I was thinking about whether I could get you a job there!”

“Me! Go to Wanhuai Coal Mine!?” Zhou Zhenglong himself found it unbelievable. If he, a worker who had been fired from the machinery factory, could really work at Wanhuai Coal Mine… then he could hold his head high when he saw people from the machinery factory again.

After all, the Wanhuai Machinery Factory was just a supporting factory for the Wanhuai Coal Mine. Its benefits and wages were much better than those of the machinery factory.

“Yes, otherwise why would I bother? At worst, I can just return my master’s wife to you. I can’t let this ruin my future! Think about it, who would want to go from the machinery factory to the Wanhuai Coal Mine without immediately signing the transfer order?” Chen Feng said, sounding aggrieved.

“Isn’t it because we were master and disciple that I wanted to lend you a hand?!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenglong looked touched and took Chen Feng’s hand, saying, “Xiao Feng, I really don’t know what to say. Otherwise, everyone would say that you are an honest and caring child!”

“I can ignore others, but you are my master after all!” Chen Feng sighed.

“Xiaofeng!”

“Master!”

“Xiaofeng!”

“Master!”

The two of them exchanged words, both looking deeply moved, and then a single word simultaneously popped into their minds.

Idiot x2!

Zhou Zhenglong sighed for a moment, then said, “Xiaofeng, if you can really get me into the Wanhuai Coal Mine, then you can tell me how you want to thank me, and I’ll thank you in that way!”

Chen Feng said with a smile, “You always know how to say nice things to me.”

Zhou Zhenglong retorted, “I’m not kidding! If you can get me a job at the Wanhuai Coal Mine, even if it’s your master’s wife… I can make her… you know!”

Chen Feng looked bewildered and quickly said, “Master, why are you saying such things?”

“Alright!” Zhou Zhenglong said disdainfully, “Master, you know my situation. I’m injured, and although it may seem like nothing’s wrong, I’m not whole anymore.”

“Lin Youwei is a woman after all. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, and I’ll be cuckolded sooner or later. Since that’s the case… I might as well let you have it, at least we’re family.”

“But the prerequisite is… you can really get me a job at Wanhuai Coal Mine, and as a permanent employee.”

Chen Feng said solemnly, “Master, I really didn’t have those thoughts. I helped you purely because of our master-disciple relationship, and I’m a sentimental person!”

Zhou Zhenglong wondered if Chen Feng really didn’t have a crush on Lin Youwei.

“If that’s the case, then I’m even more grateful to you.” Zhou Zhenglong patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and said, “Xiao Feng, I don’t trust anyone else right now, I only trust you. Don’t let me down!”

Chen Feng nodded and said, “Master, don’t worry! I always keep my word, and I promise I won’t let you down!”

“Alright! I believe you!” Zhou Zhenglong chuckled, thinking to himself, “After we get the housing, I’ll let this kid have a good time for a few days and see if he can really get me into the Wanhuai Coal Mine!”

Chen Feng also had a smile on his face, but in his heart he thought, “I really didn’t have a plan for how to deal with you before, but now I have a clear idea.”

Both harbored their own ulterior motives, but when they looked at each other and smiled, they seemed to have a very good relationship, just like close friends.

After seeing Zhou Zhenglong off, Chen Feng entered the room, only to find Lin Youwei packing her things.

“Master’s wife, what are you doing?” Chen Feng asked curiously.

Lin Youwei pursed her lips and remained silent, simply packing her things on her own.

Chen Feng grabbed Lin Youwei’s hand and frowned, saying, “Master’s wife, what do you mean? Don’t just stay silent!”

“I…I’m not going to stay with you anymore, I’m leaving, I’m going home!” Lin Youwei said, her voice trembling.
