The Soul Reborn

9. Thrown Bowl

Zhang Zhonghai did not raise his head. "No need. This is your food, I dare not eat it."

From the way he spoke it was clear that Zhang Zhonghai was angry and made Zhu Haimei feel awkward. He did not know why Zhang Zhonghai had behaved so, as it seemed that Zhu Haimei had never sought out a cause with him.

Shen Dongyuan was not stupid. This time he could tell that something had happened after hearing Zhang Zhonghai's tone. Shen Dongyuan then put down his bowl and said, "What is this?"

"Sister, I'll tell you in person because you're not a stranger to me. Can you control your sister-in-law a little bit? Zhong Yan was angered to the point of crying by her."

Zhang Zhonghai's words just now made Zhu Haimei speechless. This man may as well yes, he can really take care of his wife, Zhu Haimei thought.

Shen Dongyuan tried to contain her anger and said, "He's doing something unreasonable again huh?"

"He humiliated Zhong Yan before a group of people. You also know that Zhong Yan is a teacher right? Now he was crying at home and saying that he didn't dare go to school tomorrow."

Shen Dongyuan's face turned grim upon hearing Zhang Zhonghai's words just now, "I'll have him come to your house and apologize to Zhong Yan."

"That's not necessary, Zhong Yan isn't a bad person either. I'm just here to tell you. Fortunately, it is my wife Zhong Yan. If it was someone else, maybe brother-in-law wouldn't be forgiven just like that." Reply Zhang Zhonghai.

"Captain Zhang, can you find out the chronology of the incident first before coming here to blame me?" Said Zhu Haimei who felt no acceptance by Zhang Zhonghai's words.

"Shut up." said Shen Dongyuan who was holding back his anger.

"Listen to me, I'm telling the truth. Zhong Yan who first humiliated me in public. How could I stay silent if treated like that?" Zhu Haimei defended himself by explaining the true events.

Shen Dongyuan held back his anger and said, "Captain Zhang, go home first."

When Zhang Zhonghai saw the quarrel between the two of them, he felt a little satisfied.

After Shen Dongyuan drove Zhang Zhonghai away, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Haimei who was standing next to him. He pointed at Zhu Haimei's face with his finger as he said, "What have you done? How many times have I told you, if you want to be alone, don't stay here anymore."

His words just now caused Zhu Haimei to be stirred with emotion and almost yell in front of Shen Dongyuan. "If you don't know the truth of the matter, don't easily tell me that I am alone. Would you still be angry at me if you saw it for yourself? Why are you pointing at me with your finger? Has your mother never taught you manners? Only the uneducated point at others with their fingers!" Said Zhu Haimei who was ignited with emotion.

"Gosh, why are you? What my mother taught me is none of your business! You're the one who came here looking for me, are you still willing to quibble?" Reply Shen Dongyuan.

"I quibble? I quibble how? You haven't seen it yourself, but why did you say I didn't make sense?" Zhu Haimei.

Zhang Zhonghai's steps came to a halt at the entrance of the stairs when he heard Shen Dongyuan's and Zhu Haimei's fighting voice clearly. What Zhu Haimei said had a point as well.

Shen Dongyuan clenched his hands then said, "I tell you, I've been holding him for a very long time. You've been causing so much trouble since you came here. Tomorrow, get out of this place. I'll go to your house and apologize later."

"I'm not wrong, I'm not leaving." Reply Zhu Haimei who began to be able to control his emotions.

"I can't believe that Zhong Yan insulted you first. He's a teacher, he can't be as rough-mouthed as you." Shen Dongyuan.

"What if Zhong Yan is a teacher? Does that make him a noble and moral man?" Asked Zhu Haimei whose eyes were filled with flashes of anger. "Then why don't you marry her and marry me instead?" Its effects.

"You think I'm willing to marry you with pleasure? If it wasn't for your mother forcing my family to marry you, you think I would?"

The bowl also hit Zhu Haimei. He could feel the hot noodles all over his face and make him feel pain. His clothes, pants and shoes, all wet from the noodle spill.

In his previous life, Zhu Haimei often fought with Tang Yiming, but Tang Yiming never once hit him. Zhu Haimei was utterly humiliated by the actions of Shen Dongyuan who even threw him a bowl.

Just as Zhang Zhonghai had just arrived at the turn of the stairs, his heart suddenly thumped violently upon hearing a loud noise from the Shen Dongyuan residence. Shen Dongyuan was famous for his bad temper, but he would not hit Zhu Haimei right?

Zhang Zhonghai came home with a troubled heart. "Did they fight? I heard a noise. Captain Shen said what?" Asked Zhong Yan whose two eyes looked red and slightly swollen, yet his tone sounded enthusiastic.

"He said he'd educate her." Zhang Zhonghai.

"Educating what? Seeing such Zhu Haimei, how could he possibly be worthy of being together with Captain Shen? I want to see firsthand their divorce happen."

Zhang Zhonghai looked at him strangely and shouted, "Zhong Yan!"

Zhong Yan was stunned then replied. "What's wrong?"

"After this, stay away from Zhu Haimei as far as possible if you meet him."

"Do you think I provoked him? I didn't provoke it." Zhong Yan said.

Zhang Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "Go cook there. I'm hungry."

"Yes." Yeah." Zhong Yan then went to the kitchen to cook, but Zhang Zhonghai sat on the sofa uneasily. The voice he had just heard was the sound of the thing that Shen Dongyuan had dropped or the sound of the person he had struck?

On the other hand, Zhu Haimei rubbed his face with his hand then threw his noodles onto the floor. He then said as calmly as possible. "I don't know how the army educates you, but I do know that the soldier is very attentive to everything from its roots and trunk, they should not blame someone without careful consideration. Although I, Zhu Haimei is a very ugly and also unkind person, but why don't you ask me about the cause of the matter, Captain Shen?"

Zhu Haimei did not look remorseful at all and still spoke in a stern manner. This made Shen Dongyuan feel a little guilty, but he remained in his stance. "Zhong Yan is a teacher, how could he insult you? Do you even know how to write this 'insulting' word?"

Zhu Haimei clenched his hands tightly and then replied to Shen Dongyuan's words. "First, this morning I went to Brother Huang's house to borrow a shovel. And as I passed Zhong Yan on the stairs he said, 'Oh, the road is really narrow'. Then in the afternoon, when I got home both buses from the city, he said to me. 'Hey, you're out to buy a lot of stuff huh? Aren't you afraid of getting into a fight with Captain Shen?' And I just answered him by saying, 'Is it because usually teacher Zhong is used to taking care of students, so teacher Zhong is even taking care of other people's family affairs?' And she cried all the way. If Captain Shen calls me ignorant, let's teach me now. Did I insult him or did he insult me?"

"If you were not a proud and self-righteous person, no one would accuse you as you are now. It all happened because of your own fault. You reap the rewards of your bad actions all along, so don't blame anyone else." Said Captain Shen.

Zhu Haimei smiled bitterly then said, "Good, Very good. Shen Dongyuan's. Remember well what you said today."

Zhu Haimei's words just made Shen Dongyuan angry. He did not expect that Zhu Haimei would say such a thing. "If I remember, what can you do?" Said Shen Dongyuan, meanwhile Zhu Haimei turned around and went to the bathroom. He lit a water faucet in the bathroom and cried.

Yes, bitterness can only be swallowed alone. Yes, he is a bad man who has to bear the consequences of his own actions. "If only you were not a proud and self-indulgent person in your daily life." Shen Dongyuan's words reverberated in his ears. Yes, all this is his own fault. Thought Zhu Haimei.

Shen Dongyuan who heard the sound of water, pensively looked at the noodles and bowls that were smashed to pieces on the floor.

Zhu Haimei hadn't come here long ago but every time they fought, the woman would turn into a female fox, very rude. However, why did this time the woman turn soft? He didn't even take his hit.

Zhu Haimei, whom he had once known, must have raised the table before he could hit it. The change in the attitude of the woman made Shen Dongyuan wonder.
