Chen Jiahang looked back at his fellow workers.
Considering that he couldn’t speak, few workers would chat with him. When they were talking, he could only listen, but could not join in.
He nodded.
Indeed, he had a wife, whom he bought with money.
Chen Qiang looked envious, so envious and jealous beyond words that he was even about to swallow saliva.
“Come, you come.” He grabbed the shovel from Chen Jiahang, pulled him under a street lamp and handed him a small stick.
“Come on, how did you get a wife?” Chen Qiang asked.
Even a dumb and foolish person like Chen Jiahang could marry a wife. He really couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t get one? He was 36 years old and never had a girlfriend. He had pursued several before but failed at last. Those two girls introduced by relatives refused politely after seeing the situation of his family.
Women now were snobbish. Who would not marry a guy with no money, no house or no car?
Looking at Chen Qiang, Chen Jiahang, simple as he was, did not know to lie. He only knew that he could not tell others that he bought a wife.
He sat on the grass beside the road and wrote with a stick.
“I spent 50,000 yuan.”
“Only 50,000?” Seeing the figures Chen Jiahang wrote, Chen Qiang was in great disbelief.
“Fuck,” he even could not help speaking dirty words, “How come the women I met usually ask for 200 thousand yuan as the bride price as well as an apartment in the downtown area? I’m a fucking farmer. How could I have so much money? Damn it, wish those old ladies never get married.”
Chen Qiang said emotionally. After so many setbacks during courtship, he began to feel distorted and even began to hold discrimination against women.
He regarded all women as bitches pretending to be innocent.
Chen Jiahang did not know why he got so emotional. He simply sat quietly on the grass beside the road.
Chen Qiang suddenly laughed. He nudged Chen Jiahang and whispered.
“If I were you, with such a beautiful wife, I would not work at night. With her in my arms, I would make love with her several times throughout the night in bed. How refreshing it would be! I’d rather not waste my time here.”
After that, Chen Qiang showed an obscene smile. Having no wife, he often felt sexually unsatisfied. Although he occasionally made love with prostitutes, it was obvious that he had been suppressed for a long time and was beginning to become somewhat morbid.
Chen Jiahang frowned suddenly. Thinking of something, he shook his head immediately.
“We don’t sleep together.” He wrote a few words on the ground.
Simple and silly, he couldn’t see what was wrong with the coworker in front of him. He couldn’t lie, either.
“Ah!” Chen Qiang let out a scream, putting on a surprising and obscene look. He opened his eyes wide.
“No way, Chen Jiahang, did you really get married? You don’t even sleep together?”
Was he unable to? No way, let him try. This fool, didn’t he know how to do that?
What was the fuck! Chen Qiang exclaimed in his heart.
Chen Jiahang was asked this question for the first time. He scratched his hair and did not know how to refuse to answer. So he wrote on the ground again.
“The doctor says she’s not in good health, so we need to practise celibacy for two years.”
He was actually telling the truth. He would like to sleep with her and have a baby earlier. However, if they slept together, it would be worse for her if she had an abortion during pregnancy.
Chen Qiang was shocked, his eyes wide open.
He looked in great disbelief at Chen Jiahang, who seemed to be a normal person. He couldn’t believe that the fool should say that because of birth control, they could not sleep together.
