Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 502 - 346 Unfolding the Truth_2

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Shanping frowned, "If you’re not there and a customer comes, what then? Hurry back and have the others bring the rest over."

"Yes." Qin Mei could only swallow the words she had and smiled awkwardly at Zhou Mikang before nodding at Chuxia, who was sitting in the car watching her, then she jogged back to the supply building.

"Uncle, does she like you?" Zhou Mikang asked with a furrowed brow.

"Cough!... Cough! Cough!..." Before Zhou Shanping could react, Chuxia was the one who choked on her own saliva.

"Do you think I’m so dumb that I can’t see it?" Zhou Mikang gave Chuxia a glare, took a cup filled with water from beside the driver’s seat, and handed it to her, before turning her gaze back to Zhou Shanping, "Uncle, you and Auntie just divorced a month ago, are you really in such a rush to find trouble?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!..." Just as Chuxia caught her breath, she choked on water again, this time even more severely than before, coughing until her face turned bright red and tears and snot flowed freely. Zhou Mikang quickly handed her a handkerchief and gently patted her back, "Can’t you take it slow? It’s not like I’m going to snatch it from you."

"Uncle, I’m sorry." As soon as she stopped, Chuxia looked at Zhou Shanping with an embarrassed face, "I didn’t do it on purpose."

"I know, I know." Zhou Shanping pointed to the cup, "Take a sip of water, another sip."

"Sip what..." Zhou Mikang snatched the cup from Chuxia’s hands, "Let her wait until Uncle finishes talking before drinking any more. If she keeps on like this, she could really choke to death."

In front of Zhou Shanping, Chuxia didn’t have the heart to go against Zhou Mikang, so she could only roll her eyes in protest. Zhou Mikang chuckled and rubbed her head, "You stayed behind just now because you wanted to make sure whether that woman had feelings for Uncle, didn’t you?"

Chuxia glanced quickly at Zhou Shanping, embarrassed, and admitted, "That’s right, I noticed her attitude towards Uncle was off, so I wanted to confirm it."

"But Uncle, I didn’t mean to meddle, I stayed behind by myself just to see if she would ask anything about you."

"Indeed, she was really curious about our relationship with Uncle, but I didn’t tell her anything, I just finished up and left."

Zhou Shanping’s face was tinged with awkwardness, unsure of what to say.

"Uncle, how long have you been with her?" Zhou Mikang asked.

After hesitating, Zhou Shanping said, "It’s only been about ten days or so. She told me she was willing to marry me and asked what I thought. I didn’t reject her, but I didn’t accept her either. I just said I’d think about it and give her an answer later."

"If she truly was a virtuous and kind-hearted woman, I definitely wouldn’t interfere, but Uncle, haven’t you had enough of Auntie’s antics? frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

I can responsibly say about this woman that if you really married her, she wouldn’t be any better than Auntie. As for in what way she wouldn’t be better, you should understand."

"When I get back later, I’ll talk to her," Zhou Shanping’s complexion turned unnatural, scratching his head, "Actually, I’m also hesitating whether or not I should agree."

You know, your Auntie and I were never that close from the time we got married, and after all these years, any affection has worn away completely."

But for the sake of the children, I never considered divorce. If she hadn’t gone too far this time, I wouldn’t have taken this step. At first, I intended to live out the rest of my life alone."

Qin Mei has been working under me for three years now, her capability at work is actually quite good, and she’s a tough girl too. She’s thirty-five this year, and there are a lot of people behind her back talking about her at work, she’s under a lot of stress."

After she brought it up, I thought about it because we’re familiar with each other. I am much older than her, but giving it a try might relieve some of her stress, so I didn’t reject her outright."

Today, her attitude was out of line and I apologize on her behalf. Actually, she’s a decent person at heart, it’s just that the pressure is too much, and it makes her irritable."

Especially when she sees young couples, she gets even more agitated. You understand why that is, don’t you?"

Zhou Mikang interrupted him, "Uncle, what are you trying to say by telling us all this? Are you thinking of continuing to see Qin Mei, or do you want to marry her?"

"No, I don’t want to marry her, I’m just trying to help you understand, she’s not completely worthless. She’s a pitiable person," Zhou Shanping sighed deeply, "The pressure a woman in her thirties has to bear, it’s not something you can imagine. Really, it’s not easy for her to be organized at work under such circumstances."

Steamed bun! Chuxia silently scolded herself, Zhou Shanping is just a typical pushover, no wonder he’s been so suppressed by Liu Lingmei.

Being too kind is also a sin! Whether it’s men or women, being too kind isn’t always a good thing.

She stayed behind to observe on purpose, wanting to see for herself what Qin Mei’s character was like. She wouldn’t meddle, but as a member of the Zhou family, it was only right for her to contribute. Alright, she would never admit that she was vindictive by nature. She was actually angry because the other party had treated Zhou Mikang and her differently before.

Right, Qin Mei’s attitude was noticeably different towards unmarried men compared to married men. Should she tell Zhou Shanping?

"When we first went in, Qin Mei’s treatment of Chuxia and me was completely different. Knowing that I was married, her attitude changed again..." Before she could make up her mind, Squad Leader Tongzi spoke up for her.

Chuxia stared blankly at Zhou Mikang, wondering whether spending a lot of time with someone caused their brainwaves to align? Why did he always say what she was thinking about? (To be continued.
