My Loyal and Lovely Husband

The husband of the younger aunt Jiang Qiangshou is anything but a kind person, who is greedy and hypocritical. Knowing that Jin Dabao would return to them, he was extremely unwilling to accept him. However, he was afraid that people around him would reckon him unkind; after all, Jin Dabao was his brother-in-law.

Jiang Qingshou, a businessman, will never lose money in business. He couldn’t stand seeing Jin Dabao eating and sleeping in his house without doing anything. Thus, he pointed out that Jin Dabao could live in the house on the condition that he worked in his meat-shop and earned for his living.

Jin Dabao had to accept his requirements because he could go nowhere. At the beginning, Jing Qingshou ordered him to take charge of delivery. He always complained about the hard work to Jin Xiaodie. But soon he found that he could squeeze a small amount of money from delivering the meat, and he stopped complaining and worked wholeheartedly. However, he often stole some meat and sold it secretly.

Stealing the meat while delivering seemed to be a little trick for Jiang Qingshou, a wise and shrewd businessman. When he found that, he decided to drive him out of his home, and never accepted him again. However, Jin Xiaodie was actually cunning, though she looked innocent. In order to shield his younger brother, she not only quarreled with Jiang Qingshou, but also resorted to his mother, crying that Jiang Qingshou was so cold-hearted that he even intended to drive away her younger brother whom she brought up with great efforts.

In her old age, Jiang Qingshou’s mother, a devout Buddhist and soft-hearted lady, certainly hoped that the whole family got prosperous through harmony and reunion. Thus, she was sympathetic when seeing her daughter-in-law crying loudly and desperately. After that, she called her son Jiang Qingshou to explain the whole thing to her and told him that no matter what mistakes Jin Dabao made, he had to accept and never considered driving him away from jis home, because Jin Dabao was his brother-in-law, the younger brother of Jin Xiaodie.

With these words as his protective device, Jin Dabao followed his old track to cheat money from Jiang Qingshou. However, Jiang Qingshou, knowing everything, had to turn a blind eye to his indecent action and forgave him.

But today, when Qian finds him and tells him the requirement of Jin Weiwei, he begins to realize that both Jin Dabao and his silly daughter cause him to lose money. How can he stand that? “You get out! You get out! Right now! I get angry at the sight of you!” shouts Jiang Qingshou, drinking the tea in a breath. Jin Xiaodie turns a black face the moment she hears that Jiang Qingshou intends to drive Jin Dabao out. She says, “Your mother said that we are family. If there really exists something unpleasant, communication is the best way. How can you always think about driving Dabao out of our home?!”

“I have told you not to force me in the name of my mother. No one has the power to stop me, because I am the head of the house!” Jiang Qingtao shouts loudly and feels even angrier every time he thinks that he is threatened by Jin Xiaodie because of that. At that moment, Jin Xiaodie dares not to say a word because Jiang Qingshou is so angery that his neck turns red like a rooster. Seeing that his protective device fails to protect him, Jin Dabao begins to worry. He runs up to Jiang Qingshou, kneels down and holds the legs of Jiang Qingshou tightly, crying, “My brother… It’s not my fault! It is the bastard Jin Wweiwei who should be blamed! It’s none of my business.” Jin Xiaodie also cries, pleading for the mercy of her husband. “Nonsense! She is your daughter!” Jiang Qingshou stares at Jin Dabao who is kneeling on the ground. “Cut it out! I said GET OUT!” shouts Jiang Qingshou angrily. “Brother… You can’t drive me out!” Jin Dabao cries with his hands grabbing him tightly. He continues, “though you drive me out! Jin Weiwei will still force Qian to stop buying meat from our shop!” Hearing that, Jiang Qingshou begins to worry, frowning.

Thinking about Jin Dabao’s words, Jiang Qingshou finds that he was true. Even though he drives Jin Dabao out of his house, there’s nothing to do with the whole thing. If he wants to solve the problem, Jin Weiwei is the key. Jiang Qingshou sighs, “You let me go first.” “No! unless you promise me that you will never drive me out!” says Jin Dabao, holding Jiang Qingshou’s leg tightly. “You let me go first. We can talk, OK? If not, I won’t give you the chance to negotiate with me.” Hearing that there’s an opportunity for negotiation, he picks himself up from the ground immediately, and says, “Brother, everything is up to you as long as you allow me to stay in your house.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“If you still want to stay in my home, you return to Xingtian Village and find your daughter immediately!” Pausing a little bit, Jiang Qingshou continues, “You try to make your peace with your daughter by any means and persuade her to tell Qian to continue his business relationship with us.” “That’s a little bit difficult for me…” says Jin Dabao reluctantly. “You probably don’t know that how arrogant Jin Weiwei is! Also, she marries a man skilled in Kongfu, who always helps her.” Says Jin Dabao. “If that is an easy thing, what else I need you to do?” Jiang Qingshou gives Jin Dabao an angry stare and says, “In one word, if you want to stay, you have to solve this problem. If not, you get out of my home immediately!”

“Qingshou, I think this problem should be reconsidered. After all, Jin Weiwei was not the little girl we knew before. Now it is not an easy thing to deal with her. So we…” She is interrupted by Jiang Qingshou. “There’s no room for discussion. Tonight! You get out of my house and return to Xingtian Village together with your younger brother.” Says Jiang Qingshou impatiently, turning around and entering the living room with his ands behind his back. Knowing that she has no power to change the decision of her husband, Jin Xiaodie has nothing to do but to help Jin Dabao to pack up his luggage and send him to Xingtian Village. With stars twinkling and the hiding moon, Jin Dabao blunders down to his room. “Rat-a-ta…” Jin Dabao knocks at the door. He is so tired that the only thing he wants now is to lie on the bed and have a good sleep. “Rat-a-ta…”. “What’s going on? Why there’s no one to answer the door. Has everyone fallen asleep?”Jin Dabao thinks. “Rat-a-ta…”Jin Dabao pounds on the door angrily, which is almost broken, but no one answers the door. “Jin Weiwei! Jin Weiwei! Come here and let me in! I am your father!” shouts Jin Dabao whose shouting stir up dogs in the village to bark.
