The Soul Reborn

18. Back to Conflicts

Zhu Haimei smiled bitterly, in his heart he said, "So, if he is a teacher, he should not help with cooking, while I have to work hard?" Thinking about it made Zhu Haimei's hand movements slow down and reluctantly continue his cooking activities.

In the past, he thought that Brother Huang was a good person, but now it seems the same. Suanlatudousi (a grated potato dish flavored with spicy acid) is ripe, but Mr. Huang never returned to the kitchen. Then Zhu Haimei thought about putting the suanlatudousi on the kitchen table, so that they could not eat it.

Outside, the atmosphere was slowly starting to get crowded. Shen Dongyuan watched them eat and drink beer. The women sat down and enjoyed the food, even Brother Huang also sat down with them. However, no one had told Zhu Haimei to come over to join them in enjoying their meal. This made Shen Dongyuan's mood deteriorate. Although they hated Zhu Haimei, but the food they ate was the result of his cooking. Do they not feel guilty? Shen Dongyuan then stood up and stepped his feet towards the kitchen.

"Captain Shen, where are you going?" Zhong Yan asked as he saw Shen Dongyuan standing up. The question just now made all eyes turn to Shen Dongyuan. "I want to go to the toilet." Reply Shen Dongyuan who was reluctant to tell the truth, that he was about to call Zhu Haimei.

Those people laughed when they heard it. He pretended to go to the bathroom, then turned to the kitchen. When he opened the kitchen door, he saw Zhu Haimei fanning himself. The cheeks and hair on his temples were already soaked with sweat. Shen Dongyuan then asked, "What is inside this pot?"

"Boiled meat." Zhu Haimei replied.

"Go out and go and eat while you wait for the meat to ripen." Tell Shen Dongyuan.

Zhu Haimei shook his head. "In a moment, I'll just eat in the kitchen. You better go back outside."

Then suddenly came the sound of Zhong Yan laughing from outside. "Let's see, Captain Shen is worried about his wife."

Zhong Yan's words just made Zhu Haimei become annoyed. Why do the women here always make trouble with him? Brother Huang who heard there was a commotion in the kitchen immediately went to the kitchen. "Oh, Haimei, come out. The kitchen is very hot. Go eat outside. I'll take care of the cooking."

Zhu Haimei raised the corner of his lips and said, "Good."

Gone off? Sure oes. Whynot? After all, why would he have to work so hard to cook food for them.

Zhu Haimei then took off his apron and went to the dining table. He moved his folding chair and sat down next to Chunlan. The woman had to shift slightly as Zhu Haimei sat next to her. Meanwhile, Zhong Yan who was sitting on the other side looked to be irritated. "Well, you're really obese, aren't you? Even we all have to step aside when you come." Zhong Yan said. His voice was not too loud, but everyone immediately laughed after hearing his words.

Zhu Haimei ignored this, then took the chopsticks and ate the fenzhengmuer. "Hmm, this is really fragrant. Mushroom ears at this time are really good." Thought Zhu Haimei.

Zhong Yan's words were clear that he was indeed mocking Zhu Haimei and that was a little disturbing to Shen Dongyuan, but Zhu Haimei did not bother with Zhong Yan's words.

Zhu Haimei was really lazy to argue, but Zhong Yan instead became more and more eager to look for trouble, as he thought that Zhu Haimei did not dare to answer him in front of the crowd. "Zhu Haimei, is that right what I said?" Zhong Yan said with a smile and looked towards Zhu Haimei. "Why are you ignoring others?" Imbuh Zhong Yan's.

"Hey, Teacher Zhong why is your face so ugly? The circles under your eyes look very black. Are you sick?" Ask Zhu Haimei.

"Who did you say was sick?" Zhong Yan asked in a high tone.

People were speechless hearing Zhu Haimei and Zhong Yan's conversation. "Everyone is eating, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Zhonghai asked his wife.

"He said I was sick," Zhong Yan replied as he pointed at Zhu Haimei with his chopsticks. Zhong Yan's face was visibly ripped off.

Zhu Haimei's face seemed to feel no guilt at all. He then said, "I just said the circles under his eyes were very black. Let's see for yourself." However, no one agreed with Zhu Haimei's words and it made him sigh in his heart. 'Oh the original owner of the body, see how it will turn out if you interfere.' Inner Zhu Haimei.

Shen Dongyuan then shouted. "Why do you talk so much?!"

Brother Huang who saw Shen Dongyuan angry immediately stood up and tried to tear them apart. "Everybody eat, don't take this seriously."

"We're just kidding." Zhu Haimei said with a smile. As soon as I heard it, everyone started eating and drinking beer again.

When Zhu Haimei narrowed the eggs, Zhong Yan said, "Ah, Zhu Haimei you should not overeat the eggs. Eggs contain high cholesterol. You have to cut down on your meal portions or you'll easily get high blood pressure."

Then when Zhu Haimei was chopping meat, Zhong Yan again commented. "With this fat body, why are you still eating meat?"

Then when Zhu Haimei was pinching the mushroom, Zhong Yan again commented. "Zhu Haimei, don't you want to lose weight? You've never even worn a skirt, have you?"

Let alone Zhu Haimei, even Brother Huang, Chunlan and Guizhi, everyone knew that Zhong Yan said such a thing to mock Zhu Haimei on purpose. However, no one was willing to stop Zhong Yan, as he was a teacher who came from the city. Zhu Haimei then looked around him, absolutely nothing stopped Zhong Yan.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the other dining table looked different. The people who were there were seen enjoying their drinks and having fun. Their voices were also so loud that no one could hear Zhong Yan's words just now. Zhu Haimei paused his chewing of food. He really wanted to snap, even slapping Zhong Yan.

"Sister-in-law who cooked the food for us, thanks for the hard work. Please drink this one glass." A soldier Zhu Haimei did not know gave him a glass of beer.

"Thank you, I don't drink. You guys just drink." Refuse Zhu Haimei.

"What if you drink a little? It's a cold beer, it'll be very refreshing." Shen Dongyuan. In their hometown, everyone can drink beer regardless of gender.

"My husband, I want a drink too." Zhong Yan said spoiledly to Zhang Zhonghai. Zhang Zhonghai proudly said. "He drank it all." The man felt proud that his wife could drink, whereas Zhu Haimei did not.

Shen Dongyuan was feeling awkward as well. He then saw Zhu Haimei sweating, even as the shirt on his back was soaked.

"Come, Come on, let's do something exciting. Everyone, let's toast in honor of Captain Shen's wife who has cooked us a delicious meal." Zhang Zhonghai.

Only Wu Tianlei knew that after this, the two couples would fight. It felt like if they had not fought for three days, they would have lost something. Zhong Yan was extremely strong and even Zhang Zhonghai was not easy to deal with. None of them want to give up. On Monday, Zhang Zhonghai humiliated his wife. Is it possible that Zhong Yan would just ignore it?

But Zhu Haimei did not care about them, and preferred to drink beer. It doesn't know what brand of beer it is, but it tastes really good and refreshing. After drinking it for two gulps, he managed to dampen his anger.

"No wonder you're fat, because you love to eat and drink." Syndicate Zhong Yan.

Brother Huang who heard it immediately nudged Zhong Yan's hand, asking him to stop talking. Zhong Yan did not care about it. "Is what I said wrong?"

Zhu Haimei then put down his drinking glass and looked at Zhong Yan. "Have I ever offended you? Why do you always insinuate me?"

Zhu Haimei's words just now managed to leave the people, even Shen Dongyuan was stunned.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yan appeared to cry after hearing Zhu Haimei's remark just now.

However, the people who saw him were actually feeling pity for Zhong Yan. They thought that Zhu Haimei was the guilty one.

"Zhu Haimei, what do you really want?" Shen Dongyuan asked in a high tone.

Zhu Haimei then looked at Shen Dongyuan with a cold gaze. Zhu Haimei then stood up from his chair. He was not stupid, he knew that sentence after sentence spoken by Zhong Yan was only to anger him. Now that Zhong Yan's wish had been achieved, Zhu Haimei was completely enraged and left the room.
