Master, That's My Wife and My House! - Chapter 35

Chen Feng was very embarrassed. Had he just been friend-zoned by his teacher’s wife?

“But Zhou Zhenglong is different. He… he made his mind clear.” Lin Youwei’s eyes reddened as she said slowly, “He definitely didn’t have good intentions. I asked him about the room allocation before, but he never gave me a straight answer. But based on my understanding of him, he definitely didn’t have good intentions.”

Chen Feng nodded. Lin Youwei didn’t know, but he knew all too well that in his previous life, after Zhou Zhenglong was allocated a house, he specifically hired someone to set him up, got him drunk, and then staged a honey trap, sending him to prison.

Fortunately, he was drunk at the time, otherwise he would have been shot on the spot. Zhou Zhenglong’s methods were not clever, but his heart was really black, and he ruined his life.

“Master’s wife, I believe you!” Chen Feng held Lin Youwei’s hand and said slowly, “But think about it, things have come to this point. Even if I let you go back, do you think Zhou Zhenglong will give up?”

“Given his personality, he’s always been the type who won’t give up until he gets what he wants. If you leave now, I’ll be all alone. If something happens, I won’t even have anyone to talk to. Don’t you think so?”

Lin Youwei became a little anxious after hearing what Chen Feng said, and quickly asked, “Then… what should we do?”

Chen Feng said calmly, “Don’t worry! Although I don’t intentionally harm anyone, it won’t be so easy for others to harm me, provided that… Master’s wife stays by my side and helps me fill in the gaps in my knowledge.”

“Me? Can I do it?” Lin Youwei was a little unsure.

“Absolutely!” Chen Feng said, giving a thumbs up.

Several days passed, and Chen Feng had almost finished what he had promised Wu Wenhua. If it weren’t for waiting for the factory to allocate housing, he would have been able to show it to Wu Wenhua by now.

The housing allocation didn’t keep Chen Feng waiting long either. On the second Tuesday after Wu Wenhua came to the factory, the housing allocation form finally came out.

There were a total of sixteen houses, which were basically allocated according to the previously established rules.

In the 1970s, leaders certainly received preferential treatment, but they didn’t dare to be too blatant about many things. Things would be different in a few years.

As the market economy sweeps across China, everyone wants to line their own pockets and become one of the first to get rich. Many leaders use their power to maximize their own wealth, and their behavior has become increasingly unsightly.

Chen Feng, an ordinary technical staff member in the technical department, unexpectedly got the largest apartment in this batch of housing, a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment of 42 square meters.

This made many people’s eyes red with envy. Nowadays, the average household size is only about 30 square meters, and some families only have a dozen square meters, yet they have to squeeze six or seven people into one. This 42-square-meter house can be described as a luxurious single-level apartment. It was only because Director Wei made arrangements that Chen Feng and Lin Youwei would not have been able to get this house.

“Xiao Chen, Xiao Lin, congratulations.” The factory office staff handed the keys to the two of them, saying a kind and convenient thing at the same time.

“Thank you!” Chen Feng was prepared and handed a bag of candied fruit to the factory office staff, smiling as he said, “Everyone, share in my joy.”

The factory office staff were overjoyed. They loved the quick-witted young people. Those who excitedly went to see their new apartments after getting them would never need to ask the factory office for anything again.

After getting the keys, Chen Feng and Lin Youwei went to the family quarters and found their apartment according to the room number.

The new house only has whitewashed walls, which looks very simple, but in this day and age, it can be considered well-decorated.

Cement floors, brick and tile houses, and white walls are enough to satisfy most people’s fantasies about a good house in this era.

Lin Youwei was one of them. She walked around the room, touching the white walls and stepping on the cement floor, finding it all very fascinating.

“Master’s wife, what do you think of this house?” Chen Feng asked with a smile.

“Great, it’s big and bright, and the walls are painted so white!” Lin Youwei liked it more and more as she looked at it, and couldn’t wait to move in.

“It’s missing some furniture, otherwise we could move in right away.” Chen Feng looked around the house. It was too simple, but after all, it had the limitations of its age, so he couldn’t expect too much.

“Let’s go back and move the table and bed here, we can add the rest later!” Lin Youwei said subconsciously.

“Okay, I’ll move the bed when we get back,” Chen Feng said with a smile.

But Lin Youwei suddenly fell into a slump because she realized that the house had been allocated, and her relationship with Chen Feng had basically come to an end.

This house is really nice, but it’s a pity… I can’t continue living here with Xiaofeng.

Chen Feng noticed Lin Youwei’s emotions and went over to comfort her, saying, “We can’t just get a divorce after dividing the house, can we? If the factory finds out, they’ll take the house away, won’t they? Don’t worry! There’s still time.”

With Chen Feng’s reassurance, Lin Youwei felt a little better, but she was still not as happy as when she first came in.

Chen Feng was also helpless. There were some things he couldn’t tell Lin Youwei. Could he tell her, “Don’t worry, Master’s wife, I’m going to kill Master and then we can live happily ever after?”

Although Zhou Zhenglong is a scoundrel and deserves whatever fate befalls him, the image of the adulterous couple is still too strong, so… it’s better for him to do the bad things himself, and it’s best for his master’s wife to remain oblivious.

Next came the move. Chen Feng asked a few colleagues from the factory for help to move the furniture from his old house to the new one. In fact, apart from the dining table and bed, there was only a cabinet and two benches. There wasn’t even anything with electricity… Wait, if you count a flashlight as an appliance, then there was one.

When his colleagues helped him move, Chen Feng naturally felt obligated to treat them to a meal. He didn’t need to go out; he could just cook a few dishes and get a couple of bottles of wine at home.

Lin Youwei went out early in the morning to buy groceries and prepare the food. While Chen Feng and the others were moving, she started cooking. After they finished moving their things and cleaning up, it was time to eat.

After the group sat down, someone immediately said, “Xiaofeng, you’re so lucky. Youwei is the prettiest girl in our factory, and I never expected her to be such a good cook. It’s heartbreaking that you managed to steal her away.”

Before Chen Feng could speak, someone else said, “What Youwei? You should call her sister-in-law. Besides… our Xiao Feng and sister-in-law are a perfect match. Who are you to be so insolent? Come on, drink the penalty drink!”

The group laughed and joked, making Chen Feng and Lin Youwei’s new home lively. This was the reason for the housewarming party, and also to warm the house and add a touch of worldly life to the new home.
