The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 63 (Part 1)

When Chen Rou said the word "I believe" seriously, Ma Yuling couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She didn't expect that in the end, her man didn't believe her, but instead this neighbor whom she looked down upon believed her.

"I used to look down on you, sister-in-law. You know that, right?" Ma Yuling said to Chen Rou very frankly.

"I know." Chen Rou nodded again.

"Then why is my sister-in-law still willing to believe me?" Ma Yuling asked.

"It's just a normal thing in a normal relationship, but no one can force you to admit something you haven't done." Chen Rou said.

One thing is one thing, this matter is over, she and Ma Yuling will remain the same as before.

But after all, the neighbors are here, and Chen Bing has come to the door with red eyes begging for help. How can we just pretend we didn't see it? This is too cold-blooded.

Ma Yuling said self-deprecatingly: "I used to look down on my sister-in-law because she came from the countryside and became a self-employed person. I thought she brought shame to Hanghang's father. She had such a respectable job in the Ministry of Transport, but she still became a self-employed person. Isn't this embarrassing?"

Chen Rou looked calm, and the rumors didn't bother her at all.

"But with the development of the times, I know that I was short-sighted. I see that my sister-in-law never gossiped or made false statements over the years and took good care of the family. It was my own narrow-sightedness. I apologize to you, sister-in-law." Ma Yuling said.

Chen Rou didn't care whether she apologized or not, she just asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Ma Yuling gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know who the gossip is. My director and I went out together yesterday, but I was wearing high heels at the time and I almost twisted my arm. My director helped me with my arm. There were two colleagues next to me, but I don't know who saw it. When we came back, it was spread that my director and I went shopping hand in hand!"

What did she do wrong? She was criticized for dressing in a trendy way after the opening up, and was labeled as indecent.

She put on lipstick and had her bangs permed into a big afro, but she went to the provincial capital to get it done. They don't have that here.

She was wearing high heels and a red skirt.

But those old ladies would frown when they saw her, and would say "I think she's not a decent person" at the slightest sign of trouble.

She is upright and loyal. She has only been with that bear of a man in her family in her entire life. She can swear to heaven on this.

But what made her so angry was that the bear guy also suspected her, and they had quarreled several times over this matter!

After listening to this, Chen Rou almost understood what was going on.

But to be honest, given how decisive she was, and the fact that she could speak so openly, Chen Rou really didn't think Ma Yuling would do such a thing.

She can't be 100% sure about a person, but she can be 70% or 80% sure about him. Ma Yuling certainly didn't do it.

"Did you have a fight with Public Security Chen?" Chen Rou asked.

"How dare he hit me? If he dared to get on me, we would have divorced long ago. I was the one who hit him!" Ma Yuling snorted.

Even though the couple were struggling with each other, she was the one beating Chen Gongan.

What Chen Gongan said was right. With her physique, she couldn't even withstand a slap from him.

But he didn't dare hit her.

"Do you understand what Public Security Chen means?" Chen Rou looked at her and said.

"Of course I know. He just wants to divorce me. He dislikes me because I'm old and ugly, and wants to find someone young and beautiful!" Ma Yuling cursed.

Chen Rou laughed: "I think you still don't understand. That's not what Chen Gongan meant."

If they really wanted to divorce, Chen Gongan, who was about the same height as Han Guobin and a little stronger than Han Guobin, had a slap as strong as a calamus. One slap would almost break up Ma Yuling's family, given her fiery temper.

"If it weren't for this, why would he be so easily influenced and come back to make trouble with me after hearing those rumors outside!" said Ma Yuling.

"What would you think if rumors spread that he was having an affair with some girl?" Chen Rou said.

"He won't do that. He is a stubborn person and not the kind of person who would have a fickle heart." Ma Yuling said with certainty.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "It seems that you two still trust each other very much."

"I don't trust him at all. I hate him so much!" Ma Yuling gritted her teeth and said, "It was the same last time. He came back to make trouble after hearing some rumors. This time, the trouble was even worse. He smashed everything!"

"Is the TV smashed?" Chen Rou asked.

"It's like breaking a bowl. His life savings are on that TV. If he dares, just try and break one!" Ma Yuling said.

"You should know that no normal man can tolerate this kind of thing. He doesn't disbelieve you, otherwise he wouldn't let you beat him without fighting back." Chen Rou said.

"If he believes me, then why is he arguing with me? Is he dissatisfied with his miserable life?" Ma Yuling said.

"He's making trouble with you just to make you quit your job. After all, your neighbors are here and he's a police officer. Even if he believes you, he has to be careful about the impact of the rumor. Otherwise, how can he let everyone see his credibility as a public servant? How do you want people to see a man who can't even handle his household chores and whose neighbors are saying that his wife is cheating on him?" Chen Rou looked at her seriously.

"But this is my job!" Ma Yuling couldn't help but say, "You are also a woman, you should know how important it is for a woman to have an income."

This is why she ignored the rumors and continued to work in the unit for so many years.

Her salary is not very high. Including various benefits and subsidies, it is just around 60 yuan per month. Chen Gongan's salary is higher, more than 80 yuan.

But even if her salary is only 60 yuan, it is still her income. With this income, she is confident and can buy whatever she wants without having to ask her man at all.

Besides, she has things to do and doesn't have to stay at home all day. She doesn't have many friends around her, and she would become a shrew at home.

How could she bear it?

"You have to make a choice between you and Public Security Chen. It's either you or him. One of you has to give in this time." Chen Rou said.

"I won't retreat. Why should I retreat? If he wants to retreat, let him retreat." Ma Yuling said.

"You guys go and discuss it among yourselves." Chen Rou nodded. They had almost finished chatting and thought it was time to send the guests away.

Ma Yuling didn't want to leave, and couldn't help but whispered, "That bear guy, he really likes being a policeman."

Chen Rou glanced at her and said, "If you can't bear to let him give up his ideals, then you have no choice but to quit."

In fact, in this matter, Ma Yuling had to resign. Although she was also wronged, three people can make a tiger, and the neighbors are all here. It is useless for Chen Gongan to resign.

"But if I quit my job, will I just sit at home and eat idle meals?" Ma Yuling said.

"What do you mean by eating free meals? Have you seen me eating free meals?" Chen Rou said.

"I won't sell you those." Ma Yuling said.

"I can't do anything if you want to sell it. I only have enough for myself and can't supply you." Chen Rou told the truth.

Ma Yuling: “…”

"If you have anything to say, just talk it out nicely. Whether he hits you or you hit him, it's both domestic violence and is not encouraged," said Chen Rou.

Ma Yuling gritted her teeth and said, "I really hate these neighbors!"

Chen Rou looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm not doing anything. They say I'm not serious and decent. So I brought myself to the county town dressed like this. Just wait and see how I lead their daughter-in-law and daughter astray!" Ma Yuling said.

Chen Rou looked at her warily: "Before you do anything, you should think about your family. Your son is so old now, and his grades are good. When he goes to college, you will be freer and more relaxed than anyone else."

Ma Yuling rolled her eyes at her and said, "What are you thinking? I don't mean to break the law." If she did anything illegal, the first one in her family would not let her go.

"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Rou asked.

"I'm going to the provincial capital to recruit people!" Ma Yuling said with high spirits, "I'm going to invite a hairdresser who can perm hair to come here and open a hairdressing shop that not only perms hair, but also sells red skirts. I want everyone on the street to wear red pants like mine!"

Chen Rou: “…”

"I won't admit defeat. Why do they want me to dress as rustically as them? They are old and can't they keep the fashion that makes us young? Have you watched TV? The stars on TV all dress like me!" said Ma Yuling.

"Then let me wish you success first." Chen Rou nodded.
