MTL - The Sufferer is My Wife-Chapter 5
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, my body is sweating and sticky, I'm going to take a bath."
"Oh well."
Gayako moved away from Zhou Heng's body.
Zhou Heng got up, went to the bathroom with his clothes, and deleted the chat history between Sadako Yamamura and Megumin Minakami while he was going.
Five minutes later, Zhou Heng came out of the shower room.
At this time, Gayoko, who went to the second floor and also took a bath, also came down from the second floor. Unlike the Gayoko who lowered his head to clean up the garbage outside the door just now, Gayoko's complexion is obviously much better now.
I don't know if it was because of Zhou Heng's nourishment just now, or if he was in a better mood and his complexion also improved.
Zhou Heng smiled at Jiaye.
"I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes. Kayako, you cook. I want to drink soup tonight. Can I trouble you to make some soup?"
"Understood, is miso soup okay?"
Kayako asked.
"Can."
Zhou Heng took his coat and walked out of his home.
During this period of time, the garbage outside the fence has been cleaned up. After scanning the door and feeling satisfied with the cleanliness of the door, Zhou Heng got on Takeo Saeki's means of transportation and drove to Sadako Yamamura's apartment.
Sadako Yamamura is not a local, but a local university graduate from the countryside. Because she has no personal connections, she has no stable job for the time being, so she can only work in a convenience store to earn a meager income for accommodation and meals.
The apartment I live in is not a good place either. It is a building that is over fifty years old and looks dilapidated and black, with mold everywhere on the outer walls.
However, the occupancy rate of this apartment is much higher than that of other ordinary apartments. The reason is that it is cheap.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Heng drove to the old apartment where Sadako Yamamura lived.
It was not time to get off work. There were not many people in the apartment when Zhou Heng arrived, but Zhou Heng still put on his hat and lowered the brim of his hat and walked into the apartment. The old apartment did not have an elevator, and Sadako’s apartment was on the fifth floor for cheap rent.
Zhou Heng spent a little energy, climbed four flights of stairs to the fifth floor, and knocked on the door of room 501 again.
"Sadako, it's me!"
Zhou Heng spoke.
"Squeak..."
The door of Room 501 opened, revealing the old floor and walls inside with a bit of history.
The apartment room is not big, only about five square meters, inside there is a bathroom with a shower and a bedroom with only one bed and one desk.
The beauty Sadako Yamamura was not on the bed, but was squatting in the corner of the room, holding her knees with her hands, her chin resting on her knees, half of her face was hidden behind her knees, and a gloomy and dark atmosphere surged around her.
This is not an exaggeration, the light perception around Sadako Yamamura is a layer darker than the surrounding, as if something is suppressing the light.
Zhou Heng swallowed his saliva, as expected of Sadako...
It is indeed a super evil spirit that can make the whole world tremble...
"Gangxiong-kun..."
When Sadako caught Zhou Heng's sight, her dull eyes instantly lit up.
Zhou Heng came in with a dry smile, closed the door by the way, and took off his hat.
"Sadako, what's wrong with you? Tell me."
Zhou Heng went to the bedroom and sat down by the bed. The project manager who just crossed over decided that he had to break up with Sadako today. Kayako is a good wife, and Zhou Heng didn't want to be a scumbag, so it's better to break up Sadako's relationship.
Sadako, who was sitting in the corner with her legs crossed, sniffed choked up.
"Gangxiong-kun, I, I was fired by the owner of the convenience store..."
Zhou Heng was stunned.
"Why?"
Working in a convenience store is one of the least demanding occupations in the country, and it is very difficult to make mistakes. Even if you make a mistake, it is difficult to reach the level of being fired.
Sadako's eyes were moist.
"Today, an old man came to our supermarket to shop. I, I was replenishing the shelves. When the old man passed by me, he touched my butt..."
Zhou Heng immediately cursed.
"Disrespecting the old!"
Sadako continued.
"I, I subconsciously turned around and slapped him."
Zhou Heng showed his thumb.
"well done."
Full of tears flowed from the corners of Sadako's glasses.
"The old man, that bastard, said that I beat him for no reason, knocked down several shelves, and threw things at me."
"...Later, the shop owner came out with a few seniors and said he wanted to call the police to watch the surveillance, and the old man scared away."
Zhou Heng nodded.
"And then? Why were you fired."
Sadako sniffed aggrievedly.
"Yes... it's Haruko and those... seniors..."
Zhou Heng's complexion changed slightly. Haruko was a senior in the convenience store where Sadako worked. A group of aunts in their forties and fifties, Sadako was young and beautiful, and she was a high-achieving student who graduated from college, but now she was working in a convenience store. This gave these aunts the status of being able to bully Sadako.
Sadako complained to Zhou Heng many times in the past that these seniors gave her work and were lazy.
"The shop owner took me there and asked me about my situation. I said that the old man touched me... But when I asked the other shop assistants later, Haruko and the seniors said that they didn't know about this, but they knew that I was very disrespectful. I'm afraid I was harassing and blackmailing the old man..."
Sadako hugged her knees and sobbed softly, and said during the period.
"What's more, so what if I touched my butt? I just ran away. Instead, I slapped the customer. As a service employee, this is too much. I will harm the convenience store."
"People like me are not suitable to work in convenience stores."
Zhou Heng: "..."
The harasser is right, but find the reason from the harassed victim.
It really deserves to be a war with the country.
"The owner, just paid me my wages and asked me to leave."
The darkness around Sadako surged to the naked eye, like evil spirits with their mouths open.
"Gangxiong-kun... I... Am I wrong?"
Sadako stared at Zhou Heng with tearful eyes.
The corners of Zhou Heng's mouth turned up.
"Ah, Sadako, you are wrong."
Sadako's eyes were wide open, her body trembling.
That's not the case, why would Takeo Saeki say such things? When he complains about being bullied, shouldn't Takeo Saeki hug himself and comfort himself gently?
Zhou Heng said in a deep voice.
"Since people are so blatantly slandering you, why don't you go up and slap Haruko hard."
Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes.
"After the beating, if Qingzi dares to fight back, just say, what's wrong with me slapping you? Just run away."
Chapter 8 Lonely
Sadako suddenly felt that she didn't know Takeo Saeki in front of her.
In the past, Takeo Saeki was gentle and delicate, he knew how to comfort himself, but this...
a bit hard...
"But, but..."
Sadako Yamamura trembled.
"I, I'm new here... If I don't respect seniors..."
Zhou Heng interrupted.
"Others respect you, so you should respect others. When others rely on themselves to live a few more years and want to stand on your head to **** and pee, and say there is something, you should go up and give it a hard slap!"
Sadako Yamamura asked back.
"What about the back..."
Zhou Heng also asked back.
"What happened later? You swallowed your anger for so long, isn't it the same as expulsion?"
Sadako: "..."
The girl's hands holding her knees were slowly clenched, and the hot tears that were already filling her eyes slowly overflowed, leaving bright tear stains on the side of her face.
It shouldn't be like this, it can't be like this...
Why…
Even his sweetheart is blaming himself.
Sadako just wanted a gentle embrace and warm comfort.
Seeing this, Zhou Heng sighed.
"Don't cry yet... Sadako-san, let me ask you a question..."
Sadako opened her teary eyes, under the tears, Zhou Heng's appearance was blurred and distorted.
"If one day I was attacked by someone, do you want someone else to kill me, or me to kill someone else?"
Sadako spoke without hesitation.
"Please kill someone else!"
After saying this, Sadako was taken aback, and even stopped crying.
Zhou Heng grinned and said.
"Yes, Sadako, you don't think I want you to be killed, do you?"
"Isn't the compromise you said to those seniors just to let me watch you being bullied?"
Zhou Heng's tone turned cold.
"Bully back! Just treat it as..."
Zhou Heng originally wanted to say that it would be good for me, but thinking about it, it seems that he came to break up with Sadako today. It would be too entangled to say this, so Zhou Heng could only change the wording.
"It's good for all the relatives who care about you. Don't let the people who care about you feel sad because of connivance to others."
Sadako's tears began to flow down again.
"Sadako... has no family anymore."
"Sadako's father and mother divorced very early. Sadako never saw her father a few times since she was a child. Sadako had a younger brother who died when she was four months old... Sadako's mother also... committed suicide in Sanyuan Mountain... I was raised by my grandmother..."
The more Sadako Yamamura spoke, the faster the tears flowed, and her tone was so choked that she almost lost her tune.
Zhou Heng: "..."
Life is kind of miserable.
"Three months ago... after Sadako's grandmother also died, Sadako, Sadako came to see her father... Father got tuberculosis... the health is going to die..."
Zhou Heng's eyes lit up, and a memory appeared.
That was the first meeting with Sadako. At that time, Ikuma Heihachiro (Sadako's father) who came to visit suffering from tuberculosis, was blocked by a young doctor at the hospital, Jotaro Nagao.
Until Takeo Saeki opened the door and stopped Jotaro Nagao from committing violence.
