Chapter 1474 Shen Lei: Mother-in-law, please open your eyes and take a look! (Day 19, Saturday!)

Why did he call He Chen?
He just wanted He Chen to find a way to 'calibrate' his wife's thoughts.

The only difference was that the plan was for him to relay the message, but instead, He Chen bypassed him as the middleman and directly began to calibrate his wife in public.

Although it deviated somewhat from the plan, what He Chen said was basically what he truly felt.

He simply couldn't bring himself to say these hurtful truths because he loved his wife.

The price he paid was that his wife became increasingly indifferent and distant, while he felt increasingly aggrieved but unable to express it.

He was a bit slow on the uptake when it came to relationships, and being an old married couple, he never expected his first love wife to be so ruthless, and he never anticipated the intense developments that followed.

But he's not a fool.

He could sense that there was a problem between them, and it was a significant one.

Perhaps things are fine as they are now?

Only by exposing the problem can we have a chance to solve it.

Having drunk too much and under the control of He Chen's magic, Shen Lei was sluggishly thinking, listening, and witnessing. In a daze, he felt that he was in a dream.

Therefore, I've come to view all of this more rationally.

"Drink, drink, drink!" Xie Meilan saw her husband looking drunk and grinning at her, completely unresponsive to her pleas for help. He was clearly too drunk, which made her even more furious. But she knew she couldn't count on her husband to save face, so she started cursing.

"You have money to drink, but not money to fix your electric scooter?"

With that sentence in mind, she turned around and went upstairs, no longer wanting to face He Chen.

She was completely careless just now. She never expected that He Chen, such a handsome guy, who seemed to agree with her, would turn around and strike her again and again, each blow fatal. She didn't react in time and didn't dodge, which led to this farce.

Now that we've lost the initiative, it's best to avoid the enemy's sharpest attack and shift our strategy.

Once her husband regains his senses, she will pay him back, and double the amount.

She wanted her husband to help her fight back against He Chen, and also wanted to take this opportunity to transfer to another club in a reasonable way, so that she could achieve great results and enjoy great wealth!
I'm still so angry.

I'm so angry and in so much pain!

“Brother Shen treated, I paid the bill!” He Chen corrected, “Brother Shen almost never drinks, don’t you know why he drank so much tonight?”

"..." Xie Meilan, who knew exactly what was going on, didn't respond at all. She disappeared into the corridor and slammed the door shut.

Seeing this, He Chen smiled slightly, helped Shen Lei, and walked towards the Shen family. Amidst the strange looks of the crowd who were still not satisfied, they went upstairs and knocked on the door that Xie Meilan had closed heavily.

"Open the door, your husband is home. He's had too much to drink. It's so cold, you wouldn't turn him away, would you? Are you thinking of something cruel?"

Some neighbors who understood the situation couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then the atmosphere became tense, with laughter erupting all around.

Even if they were enjoying the gossip, they shouldn't have laughed like that while the couple was having a fight.

As the saying goes, it's better to destroy ten temples than to break up one marriage.

No one would want their laughter to exacerbate an already strained and quarrelsome relationship, leading to serious consequences.

Ah!
The main concern is avoiding the hassle of going to someone's home and taking responsibility.

But now the two people arguing are not the couple themselves, but a 'passerby' who saw injustice and spoke out, exposing Xie Meilan's true colors to everyone.

Everyone has their own judgment.

Some experienced and insightful individuals, through He Chen's words and Xie Meilan's reaction, had already discerned everything and foreseen the future. Since it was destined to end, they even felt that if this couple, who were already estranged, or more accurately, unilaterally estranged, ended up together, it might not be a bad thing. Naturally, they felt no burden in their hearts.

With this mindset, seeing He Chen completely disregard Xie Meilan's feelings and constantly making her uncomfortable, it's really hard to keep up.

Xie Meilan was furious at being implied to be a Pan Jinlian, but faced with He Chen's continued knocking on the door without giving her any face, and knowing that continuing to be so 'high-profile' would only cause her to lose more face, she could only swallow her anger and open the door, letting He Chen help her husband Shen Lei in.

"Brother Shen, we're home. Get some sleep."

Under Xie Meilan's piercing gaze, He Chen met her eyes and forced her back, who was blocking the bedroom door. Clearly, she didn't want to let her husband into the bedroom tonight. She helped Shen Lei into the bedroom and talked to him while raising her voice to the neighbors.

"Sister-in-law, you must take good care of Brother Shen tonight. Don't let him get cold. Keep an eye on him and give him some water if he gets thirsty in the middle of the night."

Don't be reluctant!

If your mother were still alive, she would definitely have told you to take care of her son-in-law in the same way!

Do you have a portrait of the old lady in your family?
Don't force my brother Shen to hug the old lady's portrait and cry!

"..." Xie Meilan looked at He Chen in disbelief. She never expected that those hurtful words were not He Chen's limit, and that He Chen would have this vicious trick up his sleeve.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Then, bursts of barely suppressed laughter echoed from the surrounding area.

This is the old city of Beijing, the filming location for the famous TV series "Birds Fill the Courtyard," which tells the story of the older generation in this city, so everyone is very familiar with it.

In this TV series, the necromancer Jia Zhangshi is quite memorable. She is an old widow who raised her son, helped him get married, and had three children.

Raising an elderly widow to raise children is never easy, no matter the era, hence the various schemes and calculations.

If anything displeases her, she will sit down on the ground and wail, calling out to her deceased husband, Lao Jia, hoping he will take the enemy away.

This move, summoning the dead, can be considered her ultimate skill.

But perhaps because she used it too much, instead of letting her deceased husband, Old Jia, take the enemy from the underworld, she took away her only son first, making her daughter-in-law a widow as well.

From then on, she had another secret weapon.

However, this isn't for dealing with outsiders. For dealing with outsiders, we can continue using the spirit of the deceased husband, Old Jia. But for widowed wives who might remarry and no longer support them, we use the spirit of their son.

It even went so far as to bring out her portrait, stage a ceremony, and force her widowed daughter-in-law to do as she wished.

In short, it's extremely outrageous!

Now that He Chen is using these words to subtly criticize Xie Meilan, it's simply unbearable.

But for Xie Meilan, the person involved, it was the most vicious mockery imaginable.

Her mother was an old widow who had died. To some extent, her plan was to hold up the old lady's portrait and throw a tantrum at her husband, making unreasonable demands, so that she could appear more dignified.

But essentially there is no difference.

More accurately, she embodies the essence of two generations of widows, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Qinshi, and wants to summon the dead with one hand and remarry to start anew with the other.

However, the two invincible supernatural powers have now met their nemesis, and He Chen has turned them around and used them in reverse.

It's like in a courtyard full of beasts, where a daughter-in-law or widow wants to remarry, but is forced to do so by an old widow holding her husband's portrait. Or, when the old widow summons her deceased husband to take away the enemy, what if the enemy tricks her eldest grandson into taking out her father's and grandfather's portraits, and then does this to her, as if the two generations of dead Jia family men are taking them away?

This is absolutely ridiculous!
That's absolutely infuriating!
