Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 548 - 281: Responds Only to Toughness, Not Softness
CHAPTER 548: CHAPTER 281: RESPONDS ONLY TO TOUGHNESS, NOT SOFTNESS
Zhou Jingyi stubbornly shook her head, "Big brother, I know what I want! Please stop trying to persuade me! People change, don’t they? My husband, he won’t disregard me forever! Forgive my boldness, but aren’t you and sister-in-law living together in harmony now?"
Shi Fengju was slightly stunned, and with a bitter smile said, "It’s not the same! You really don’t understand Fengming’s temperament!"
Zhou Jingyi seemed to smell something and eagerly said, "Please teach me, big brother! Since you and my husband grew up together, you must know what he likes..." Zhou Jingyi’s face turned red and slightly hot. Asking her husband’s brother about her own husband’s preferences seemed absurd, and she couldn’t even dream that she would do such a ridiculous thing, but she had no other choice.
Shi Fengju found it a bit amusing, thinking to himself that she really dared to do anything. Fengming, that idiot, must be brainwashed by Su Qing’er, or his head must have been kicked by a donkey to neglect his own good wife!
Just when Zhou Jingyi thought Shi Fengju would not answer and was secretly disappointed, she heard Shi Fengju cough and spoke leisurely, "The thing with Fengming is, he doesn’t respond well to soft approaches, only hard ones. Once he sees your strength, he’ll naturally submit to you! Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Zhou Jingyi widened her eyes in surprise, somewhat unable to grasp the intention. Was her big brother teaching her to be a shrew? Zhou Jingyi couldn’t help being puzzled, involuntarily thinking of Shi Fengju and Sang Wan, wondering what method sister-in-law actually used to win over her brother...
"Alright, pay attention to the medicine, I’ll go and talk to him. And give me that food box too." Shi Fengju said with a slight smile.
Zhou Jingyi hurriedly handed the food box to Shi Fengju, "My husband is still mad at me, brother, please at least persuade him to eat some!"
Shi Fengju thought to himself, he must be starving at this point, waiting to eat. Why would I need to persuade him? I don’t have the time for that! If he doesn’t eat, that’s his problem—he can starve for all I care!
"Don’t worry, just don’t come in yet to avoid upsetting him more," Shi Fengju nodded.
"I understand!" Zhou Jingyi quickly smiled and agreed.
Shi Fengju carried the food box inside, and Shi Fengming hearing the footsteps slowly turned around, saw it was him and his eyes lit up, he flipped over and sat up, complaining, "Big brother, you finally came! I’m starving to death! Let’s see what’s good to eat!"
Shi Fengju pulled the table closer to the bed, and set the food box on it, saying irritably, "You know you’re hungry, why did you send away someone who kindly brought you food! I think you really deserve it!"
Shi Fengming didn’t dare to expect Shi Fengju to serve the food for him, inevitably he rolled up his sleeves and did it himself. Smelling the fragrant food, his hunger intensified, and he satisfyingly picked up a bowl and ate a chopstick of shrimp, then said, "Her? Seeing her even when I’m starving doesn’t make me want to eat! I’ve never seen such a shameless woman before, told her to leave but she stubbornly refused! Big brother, don’t you think she has some ulterior motives?"
Shi Fengju was speechless, truly at a loss as to what was going on in his head to think that way!
"Oh? Tell me, what do you think she’s after?" Shi Fengju slightly raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Shi Fengming perked up, saying, "What else could it be? Isn’t it just the wealth of our Shi family! Humph, no woman in this world is good! All are greedy for money! If I were a pauper and she still stayed by my side, only then would I respect her!"
The image of Su Qing’er’s face, charming in its delight and anger, unwittingly crossed his mind, causing a sudden blockage in Shi Fengming’s heart. The fragrant delicacies before him seemed less appetizing. His eyes dimmed, and he reluctantly moved the chopsticks a few times before setting them down.
Shi Fengju saw everything, and spoke faintly, "Is that so? That’s not what you said at the beginning! You said if you were terribly sick and not long for this world, and she still stayed by your side, then you would acknowledge her, but now you’ve changed? I tell you, Fengming, you’re changing too quickly! Becoming a pauper? That’s a bit difficult, I can’t help you with that. You have the ability, you test her yourself! Don’t blame me for not warning you, if sister-in-law is tolerating you now, it’s because she has you in her heart, not because she’s naturally weak and allows you to bully her! If you genuinely break her heart, it will be too late to recover! Besides, the Zhou family isn’t lacking money, Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou adore her as if she were the apple of their eye. Her greedy for your money? You’re joking!"
