MTL - The Sufferer is My Wife-Chapter 12

"Gangxiong?"

Sadako spoke suddenly.

Zhou Heng stopped and looked back at Sadako.

Sadako bit her lip.

"I have something to say to you, and I don't want others to hear it."

Zhou Heng lowered his head and turned his ear to the side.

But what Zhou Heng encountered was not Sadako's whisper, but soft lips printed on the side of his face.

Chapter 18 Clothes

The soft feeling was gone at the touch, and while Zhou Heng was still in a daze, Sadako withdrew her lips, stood beside Zhou Heng with her head bowed, her face flushed.

Zhou Heng touched his moist side face and smiled again.

"Let's go back."

Zhou Heng walked towards his means of transportation, and Sadako followed Zhou Heng into the car with his head down.

While wearing the seat belt, Zhou Heng suddenly saw that the sleeves of Sadako's clothes had been rubbed white, and then looked up at the clothes. He didn't notice it when he looked at it before, but now he saw that Sadako's clothes had been washed many times, and there was a faint sense of fading.

Reminiscent of Sadako's residence, the child's living conditions are worrying.

After inserting the car key, Zhou Heng drove the car off the road, but after driving for a while, Sadako couldn't help but said.

"Gangxiong, isn't this the way back to the apartment?"

"Well, Sadako, your clothes are a bit old, I'll buy you a set."

Zhou Heng's words were very plain, and he wanted to ask what's for dinner today, but Sadako's face tightened, and she stuttered.

"My clothes...can still be worn."

Zhou Heng joked.

"Sadako, have you ever heard such a story?"

"A man wearing work clothes went to a banquet, but when he arrived at the entrance of the banquet, he was stopped by the security guards at the entrance, saying that this place is not for people like him to enter. He is not very popular, so he went home and changed into a beautiful set of clothes. This time, the security guards did not stop him. After he went in, many people invited him to drink, chat and so on."

"It's just that when drinking, this man didn't drink it himself, but poured it on his clothes. Someone asked him why he did that."

Zhou Heng's tone became serious.

"He said that he came here in tattered clothes and no one paid attention to him, but now he has changed into a beautiful suit, and everyone regards him as a friend, which proves that he is not important at all. Isn't this suit the important thing?"

Zhou Heng reached out and lifted Sadako's badly frayed sleeve.

"I'm going to work tomorrow. Change into some better clothes. If you look good, others will respect you."

Sadako withdrew the hand held by Zhou Heng, and covered the frayed sleeves with her small palm.

Zhou Heng sighed.

"It's okay, I'll buy you new clothes later, and I don't want this old one."

Sadako trembled a little.

"Grandma bought this dress for me..."

Zhou Heng: "..."

Sadako's grandmother didn't have much savings in her life, so before Sadako went to Kyoto, her grandmother spent all her savings and bought a coat for Sadako, hoping that her granddaughter would go to Kyoto beautifully.

It is true that Sadako arrived in Kyoto beautifully, but when the family members died one by one, many things and items were lost one by one, or sold, leaving only this set of clothes, even when she was too hungry to eat, Sadako still kept it.

When she was alone, Sadako could only rely on these objects with memories to reminisce about the past greedily, so as to have the meaning of living.

"Then don't throw it away, put this suit away, and keep it as a souvenir."

Zhou Heng looked away, and at this time, a clothing store named Hailan that Zhou Heng was familiar with appeared in front of Zhou Heng.

Takeo Saeki's nearly 20-year renovation career has brought acquaintances from all walks of life. Hailan Clothing Store is one of the stores that Takeo Saeki has renovated in the past.

Stopping at the entrance of the clothing store, Zhou Heng took Sadako down. It may be that the long-term embarrassing life made Sadako feel inferior. When she saw the small and exquisite decoration in the clothing store, Sadako looked at the clothes and shoes, as if she was afraid that she would dirty this beautiful shop.

Zhou Heng put his arms around Sadako's shoulders and comforted her.

"We're here to shop, to give money to the store, we're uncles, don't look like little mice."

Zhou Heng entered the clothing store with his arms around Sadako. There was no waiter in the store, just a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised when he saw Zhou Heng coming.

"Isn't this Saeki-kun? You are..."

The clothing store owner looked at Sadako, and when her eyes touched Sadako's clothes, Sadako shrank her sleeves back sensitively.

Zhou Heng patted Sadako on the shoulder.

"The kid's clothes are a bit old. I want to buy three sets of clothes for a change. They should be nicer and light luxury."

Sadako said in a low voice.

"One set, one set is enough..."

Zhou Heng replied.

"One set for spring and autumn, one set for winter, and one set for changing, right?"

Sadako: "..."

"no problem."

The shopkeeper went to several shelves to find a few sets of beautiful clothes, and then sent them to Sadako, and pointed to the dressing room not far away.

"Do you want to wear it to see it?"

Sadako looked at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng nodded.

"Go wear it and see it, buy it if it looks good."

Sadako happily walked over with her clothes in her arms.

As soon as he entered the locker room, the shopkeeper came up and offered Zhou Heng a cigarette, and Zhou Heng pushed it over.

"Stop doing."

The shopkeeper took back the cigarette and said again.

"Not bad, newcomer to your company? Got it so soon?"

Zhou Heng changed the subject.

"How much are the clothes?"

The owner was taken aback.

"Didn't you just try it on?"

Zhou Heng joked.

"The clothes I bought are all at about the same price. Tell me how much it costs."

The owner glanced at the locker room.

"Well, there is a discount and a zero. If Gangxiong-kun buys it, the three sets will be about 120,000 yuan, and the other clothes will be 10,000 to 20,000 yuan more at most."

The door of the dressing room opened, and Sadako, wearing a beautiful dress and showing off the beauty of a young girl, came out.

Zhou Heng's eyes lit up.

"It's beautiful! Sadako, is there anything uncomfortable about your clothes?"

Sadako shook her head.

"Very, very good."

Sadako almost forgot when was the last time she wore new clothes.

"Okay, I bought it, Sadako, go and change the other two sets of clothes."

Sadako shyly retreated to the locker room.

After confirming that he heard the sound of the door being locked, the owner whistled towards Zhou Heng.

"On time, such a beautiful girl, I want to take it when I see it."

Zhou Heng snorted.

Takeo Saeki is actually quite rich. If he is only a designer, then the salary is only the simple design fee, and if the design plus construction is involved, then the salary will also include the total project cost.

To put it simply, it is the total cost of your renovation project. For example, a set of home decoration is 200,000 yuan (denominated in soft sister coins), and the number of points raised is five (the ratio of points raised will fluctuate depending on the region and company), then you can get 10,000 points or construction fee from it every month.

Note that home improvement usually takes 4 to 6 months from start to finish.

At present, Takeo Saeki has six home improvement projects and two shop decoration projects, and each project has a construction fee of 120,000 (Japanese yen) for each project at worst.

Takeo Saeki's income is a proper middle class in Japan.

But it is such a middle class, when dating Sadako, even if he saw that Sadako's economy was not good, he didn't help out, and he didn't even buy clothes.

Scumbag!

The scumbag that made Zhou Heng feel sick!

Chapter 19 Like

Five p.m.

Zhou Heng drove back to Zueki's residence.

After parking the car in front of the house, Zhou Heng straightened his clothes and got out of the car. Then he opened the door in front of his own house and walked in. The full-time wife, Jia Yeko, came from the living room and came to Zhou Heng's side to help Zhou Heng take off his coat.

Zhou Heng stopped Jia Coconut from moving.

"I'll be fine with these."

Jiaye retreated resentfully, watching Zhou Heng take off his coat and put on shoes in the shoe cabinet.

Zhou Heng, who was much more relaxed, left from the entrance. As soon as he arrived at the living room, Zhou Heng saw Toshio Saeki sitting in the living room, playing with ps4 with a beaming face.

Jiaye, who was following Zhou Heng, hurriedly said.

"That kid Junxiong gave me two passing papers after school this afternoon."

Jiaye went to the kitchen, and after a while, he took out a Mandarin and a math test paper, and handed them to Zhou Heng cautiously and with some timidity.

Unlike Zhou Heng's home country, Wano Country's test scores are different. Some have a fixed score system, such as thirty points is a pass, and some are an average score system. For example, half of the average score of the class is a pass.

As far as Hezhou Heng's motherland has a full score of 60%, it is easier to pass the exam in Wano Country.

2 points, a little better in mathematics, 41 points.

Zhou Heng looked a little hot-eyed.

One must know that Zhou Heng never said he was a top student since he was a child, at least the full marks in the elementary school exams are very easy. How could he think that the cheap son who traveled through time would only get 30 to 40 points in Chinese and Mathematics among so many subjects.

This is in Zhou Heng's hometown, and his parents will fight in doubles.

Of course Wano Country has nothing to do with it.

Seeing that her husband's complexion was not good, Kayako asked in a panic.

"Gangxiong, is it... I will wait for you to come back and make a decision later?"

Yesterday Zhou Heng and Jiaye said that if Junxiong comes back from school with a passing test paper, he can play games for Junxiong. Jiaye can make a decision on this matter, but don't let Saeki Toshio play more, just a few hours.

But now that Zhou Heng's face was cloudy and uncertain, Jiaye was a little afraid that her husband would be angry that she would play games with Saeki Toshio without his consent.

It is not the first time that Takeo Saeki has been moody, not to mention that this time may involve his husband's machismo.

Wano country machismo, when the woman marries the man, she has to change the man’s surname. If the woman goes out to work, she thinks that the man does not make money. Only by being a beautiful vase at home can she respect the man and prove that the man has the ability to make money.

So, by agreeing to play games for Saeki Toshio, is he challenging the authority of her husband?

While Jiaye regretted, Zhou Heng sighed.

"How did you get the thirty or forty points in the test? Did you not learn it at all, and did it all depend on ignorance?"

Zhou Heng tore up the test paper and threw it into the trash basket in the corner.
