My Loyal and Lovely Husband

“I have to tell you that I failed to rent a shop. There are really some shops with very preferable locations; however, the rent is so high that I can’s afford it within a short period of time…” Says Jin Weiwei, sighing and sobbing. “I have already told you that. As a girl, how can you think of renting a shop in the county?” Says Jin Dabao, frowning. He has no interest in renting a shop in the county; thus, Jin Weiwei’s failure satisfies him.

Jin Weiwei takes a glimpse at Jin Dabao who pays no attention to her and keeps on eating those vegetarian dishes he does like. Immediately, Jin Weiwei starts crying. “Mom… Mom… I’m sorry for you. I have thought to run a shop in the county and sell the sausages to more people so that I can earn more money to take care of my father… However, I failed. I have no money. My father has to live a bitter life with me!” Hearing that renting a shop in the county is for his welfare and the failure of renting the shop will lead to his living a bitter life, he has no appetite for food. Suddenly, he asks, “My daughter, even though we can’t open the meat-shop in the county, we still have the meat-shop in our village. How can you say that we have no money to maintain a simple life?”

Jin Weiwei has already known that Jin Dabao must be uncomfortable hearing that his good life will end. “My father. You don’t know. I made a bet with the boss of that restaurant. I told him that I would open a shop near his and paid the bet. Now, I lost the bet. Of course, the money is his and our meat-shop here will be his soon.” Says Jin Weiwei, crying with grievances. “What? You said you were gambling with our meat-shop?!” Shouts Jin Dabao. The news is like a bolt out the blue. He never expects that Jin Weiwei dares to gamble with the meat-shop without his consent!Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The meat-shop is the only way for them to earn money. Now he wishes to kill that little bastard! He thought that Jin Weiwei has already become much clever than she was before. Unexpectedly, she is still a foolish donkey! He is just about to beat Jin Weiwei, and stops, seeing Little Rich standing by her. “My father, it’s okay if you beat me right now! I thought that my money was enough to rent a shop. However, my aunt revealed that news to Qian. He used a scheme to cheat me of our money! It’s OK for them to cheat me; but how can they cheat you at the same time!” Jin Weiwei cries and grabs the hands of Jin Dabao.

Hearing that, Jin Dabao looks at Jin Weiwei and asks, “What’s up? There is something with your aunt?” “You don’t know that? My father, my aunt and Qian cheated our money and now the meat-shop will be theirs soon…” Cries Jin Weiwei. Jin Dabao is quite unsatisfied with Jin Weiwei’s gambling with their meat-shop, but he can’t believe that his own elder sister cheated his money with others! Although he hasn’t finished the task, it is too out of line for them to cheat their money and even his meat-shop!

It seems that his elder sister and her husband truly treat him as their servant who can be abandoned at any time! “How dare you Jiang Qingshou!” Jin Dabao is so angry that he pats the table seriously! Seeing that, Jin Weiwei feels happy secretly and takes a glance at Little Rich. He says, “I have an idea. You wanna to listen?” Hearing that, Jin Dabao says, “Go on! You are Jin Weiwei’s husband, a member of Jin’s family!” “Sell this meat-shop and use the money to win that bet.” Says Little Rich with a casual air. “You… You… You want to sell our meat-shop?” Jin Dabao thought Little Rich would come up with some good ideas. Out of his expectation, Little Rich wants to sell their meat-shop!

Jin Weiwei stares at Jin Dabao, “Dad, I think that’s a good idea… But this meat-shop…” After all, this shop belongs to Jin Dabao. If she wants to sell this shop, the consent of Jin Dabao is necessary. Seeing that Jin Dabao is in silence, Jin Weiwei can’t help but irritate him by saying that, “Dad, time is limited for you to make that decision! The day after tomorrow, Qian is going to take our shop. The due time of that bet is tomorrow!” Hearing that, Jin Dabao feels nervous. After a while, he sighs, “Ok… Ok… We have no choice but to sell this shop!” Seeing that Jin Dabao has already agreed with that, Jin Weiwei is so happy with a look of delight in her eyes. Little Rich exchanges a knowing look with Jin Weiwei, hinting her to keep calm. Thus, Jin Weiwei hides her happiness accordingly.

“Dad, you don’t worry about me. I will definitely work hard when we move to the county!” Jin Weiwei persuades Jin Dabao who keeps on sighing. He says, “Weiwei, you have to be cautious!” “Don’t worry! I will work really hard!” Seeing that everything is done, Little Rich beckons Tao Xiaoqing to clean things on the table and go home. Although Jin Dabao agrees to sell the shop, he feels distressed for that. Therefore, he stays up late that night.

At dawn the next day, Jin Weiwei posts that notice of selling the shop at the most obvious place in their shop in order to make everyone know the news that they want to sell the shop. Aunt Zhang is the first customer to buy the meat. Seeing the notice, she asks, “Weiwei, why you want to sell your shop?” She doesn’t know why Jin Weiwei wants to sell her meat shop, the most popular and profitable meat shop in their village. Jin Weiwei smiles and says, “Yes, Aunt Zhang. We want to move to the county to run a new one. Thus, we have to sell this old meat-shop.” Aunt Zhang asks in a hurry, “Weiwei… if you leave for the county, how can we eat your delicious sausages?” Jin Weiwei is cleaning up the meat-shop and replies, “Don’t worry, my aunt. Our sausages will be also supplied to this shop.”

Hearing that, Aunt Zhang wears a peaceful expression. She says, “Failure to eat your sausage is a big trouble for me! Now, I will help you to publicize.” “Thank you very much Aunt Zhang!” Jin Weiwei thanks her immediately. Aunt Zhang is a very talkative woman. Therefore, with her publicity, a booming number of customers surge into the meat-shop, and some of them even borrow money to buy the meat-shop. Within a very short period of time, there are many people crowding before the meat-shop with money-bags in their hands. “Weiwei, I heard that you want to sell your meat-shop! You sell it to me!” Says Old Li, smoking his pipe.
