Chapter 1508: Not Easy

"Sigh! Comrade Xiao Zhao, you're still young, and it's not easy to save money. We have no blood relation, so I can't just spend all your money on our family." Zhao Da said with a bitter smile, sighed melancholically, and then continued: "That's why I pushed your sister-in-law into your arms. Brother knows your sister-in-law doesn't resent you, so just consider it fulfilling a man's duty on behalf of your brother."

Zhao Desan said with a sudden realization: "You're still afraid that Sister-in-law will run off with another man?"

"What you said is also true. For the sake of this family, and to let her live the life of a normal woman, brother is truly in a helpless situation. Brother knows you are a very sympathetic person, and your sister-in-law doesn't reject you, so just consider it that your sister-in-law and you have a relationship in name but not in reality." Zhao Da continued to speak his mind, looked back at Zhao Desan, then looked at him with a serious expression, and continued: "But brother has one request you must agree to."

He had already done that thing with Zheng Jie, and now that Zhao Da had brought it out into the open, Zhao Desan was no longer awkward. As long as Zhao Da was willing to let him and Zheng Jie be 'dew-drop' lovers in bed, and let him fulfill the husband's duties for Zhao Da so that Zheng Jie could live the happy life of a normal woman, he was willing to be this 'living Lei Feng'. So, he immediately asked: "What request? Tell me."

"I told you last time: you must find a way to get your sister-in-law a job at the Construction Committee. How about it?" Zhao Da repeated his condition and looked at him expectantly.

"Zhao Ge, I can't say for sure. I won't lie to you, I already went to talk to the Director today—"

Before Zhao Desan could finish, Zhao Da interrupted him and asked anxiously: "What did the Director say?"

Zhao Desan glared at the anxious Zhao Da, pulled the blanket on him, and said: "His meaning is that this has to wait until the leadership meeting is held to decide. However, I think there shouldn't be any big problems."

Hearing Zhao Desan's words, Zhao Da gave a thoughtful 'oh' and continued: "As long as your sister-in-law can go to work at the Construction Committee, it's also a good thing for you. You two can meet often when you're free, and let your sister-in-law live the life of a normal woman." For the sake of this family, Zhao Da had already torn off his dignity as a man. In order to let his wife Zheng Jie take over his iron rice bowl at the Construction Committee, he didn't hesitate to push her into Zhao Desan's arms.

Zhao Desan was truly speechless. It wasn't that he didn't want to say anything more, but he really didn't know what to say. He just continued to push Zhao Da forward. Suddenly, he thought of a decisive question, stopped immediately, and asked Zhao Da: "Zhao Ge, does Sister-in-law know about these thoughts of yours?"

"No, how could a husband tell his wife about this?" Zhao Da answered bluntly, then added: "But that night you took her away, she came back the next day and I didn't ask anything. Your sister-in-law is a smart woman and can understand my painstaking efforts. Everything is for her, for this family."

"But... but I'm afraid that Sister-in-law might be okay with it once or twice, but if it's frequent, she might not agree," Zhao Desan said, feeling particularly awkward.

"As for that, you don't need to worry. Your sister-in-law is a normal woman after all, and she has normal physiological needs. As long as I turn a blind eye and don't ask, it'll be fine." Zhao Da said without hesitation, as if he had already considered this problem in advance, and then continued: "Besides, I think your sister-in-law has a pretty good impression of you. As long as you don't bully her, protect her everywhere, and there's no resistance from my side, it definitely won't be a problem."

"Alright then, since Zhao Ge can bring this up to me, this favor, brother, I'll definitely help with!" Zhao Desan hardened his heart, as if he were doing something particularly righteous.

"Good, that's good." Zhao Da said, looking extremely happy, which made Zhao Desan, who was pushing him, feel truly torn between laughing and crying. He thought to himself, his own wife is being slept with by someone else, and he still has the nerve to clap and cheer.

"By the way, the reason I invited you to my home today is that I want you and your sister-in-law to have a good drink and chat, so the three of us can get to know each other better. You'll see that you definitely won't be at a loss. Your sister-in-law is truly too good. If I weren't at my wit's end, how could I give such a good wife to you?" Zhao Da said.

Zhao Desan was truly speechless and just echoed with a lewd smile.

"Tonight, the two of us brothers will drink until we can't drink anymore. If you can outdrink your brother, you can take your sister-in-law away tonight. Remember, you have to be gentle with your sister-in-law." After Zhao Da finished saying this, he waved his hand at Zhao Desan and said: "It's about time, your sister-in-law should have the food ready. Let's head back."

"Alright." Zhao Desan turned around and pushed Zhao Da toward home. While knocking on the door and waiting for it to open, Zhao Da specifically turned back to instruct Zhao Desan: "When we drink in a moment, toast your sister-in-law a few more times. Take her away tonight."

Just as he was speaking, the door opened. Zheng Jie stood at the doorway wearing an apron. Seeing Zhao Da and Zhao Desan talking about something, looking sneaky, she had originally been afraid that it would be awkward for the two to meet. Now, seeing them talking happily, she breathed a sigh of relief, wiped a strand of hair from her temple, and asked with a smile: "What are you two talking about, being so mysterious?"

"Nothing." Zhao Desan said, trying to act calm. Zheng Jie was wearing a floral dress that stretched tight, making the dress look like it was about to burst. The two high peaks, set off by the extremely tight dress, looked extremely round and upright, almost as if they were about to pop out. Her short, ear-length hair was slightly messy in the breeze, giving her a very charming look.

And the apron tied around her waist made her look very virtuous. This kind of mature housewife with both looks and a figure was simply Zhao Desan's favorite.

Because they had had physical intimacy, and the two of them suddenly met eyes in front of Zheng Jie's husband, Zhao Da, Zheng Jie immediately felt a burning heat rise on her face. She quickly looked away, opened the door to let them in, and said: "Come in quickly, the food is ready, we were just waiting for you to come back."

Zhao Da took in the subtle changes in Zheng Jie's facial expression. He could see that she had a special ambiguity toward Zhao Desan, from which Zhao Da deduced that Zheng Jie and Zhao Desan must have had a very enjoyable time that night. Thinking that in order to maintain this broken home, he had personally pushed his own charming and lovely wife into the arms of another man, letting her have passionate intimacy with another man, while he could only sit in a wheelchair or lie in bed, fantasizing with a heart that was willing but lacked the strength, that sense of loss caused a sour feeling to surge deep within Zhao Da's heart. His nose felt sour, and tears welled up in his eye sockets. But he was a man; since he had made such a decision, he couldn't show his weak side, and he certainly wouldn't show his cowardice in front of another man. So, while no one was paying attention, he lowered his head and secretly wiped away his tears while Zhao Desan pushed him to the dining table.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, you and your Zhao Ge sit down first, I'll go get the chopsticks." At this moment, Zheng Jie was the image of a virtuous wife and mother, making Zhao Desan find it hard to believe that she was the one who had been rolling in the sheets with him countless times on the hotel bed that night.

Zhao Desan and Zhao Da sat around the small dining table. Zhao Da winked at Zhao Desan, signaling him to look into the kitchen. Following Zhao Da's gaze, Zhao Desan looked toward the kitchen and saw Zheng Jie bending over at the sink washing tableware. Because Zhao Desan was a guest, and a guest she cared about extremely much, she washed the chopsticks over and over again. Her arched body made her buttocks look particularly full and round. The tight, arched feeling seemed like it was about to burst the skirt wrapping her buttocks, which looked truly tempting.

"It's not that brother is saying it, but your sister-in-law has a very good figure. Do you admit that?" Zhao Da said to Zhao Desan, who was mesmerized by Zheng Jie's back.

Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment and didn't answer Zhao Da, but his lewd smile already indicated his agreement with his words. The two men didn't say anything else, but their eye contact revealed a tacit understanding.

Zhao Da's appearance looked very lewd. He looked at his wife Zheng Jie, then looked at Zhao Desan. That lewd expression seemed to be saying to Zhao Desan: Your sister-in-law is handed over to you tonight.

While waiting for Zheng Jie to bring the chopsticks over, Zhao Desan felt a bit awkward. Although this wimp Zhao Da had already made it clear that he should replace him in exercising the husband's power and duties toward this charming young woman Zheng Jie, this kind of thing was not something glorious after all. Zhao Desan inevitably felt a bit uncomfortable. Plus, Zheng Jie was in the kitchen not far away, and she must have been able to hear their conversation, so Zhao Desan didn't talk to Zhao Da about any topics concerning her, but instead brought up his health, showing concern for him while waiting for Zheng Jie to come to the table.

While talking to Zhao Da, Zhao Desan turned his head unintentionally and saw Nini standing at the bedroom door, her eyes fixed on the few home-cooked dishes on the table that weren't exactly delicious. She looked like she really wanted to eat, her mouth slightly open, looking dazed, and drool seemed to be about to flow out. Zhao Desan suddenly felt very heartbroken. These few home-cooked dishes were nothing to him, but for this family that currently had no source of income, perhaps they could only eat them once every ten days or half a month. So, he said to Nini, who was leaning against the bedroom door, with a smile: "Nini, come here."

Nini looked at Zhao Da somewhat timidly because Zhao Da had taught his daughter well. Whenever there were guests at home, she couldn't come to the dining table, which had made her develop this polite habit of treating people since she was young. But the little girl had indeed not eaten so many delicious dishes made by Zheng Jie for a long time. During the days when Zhao Desan went to another place to study, Zhao Da's family almost ate white noodles every day, which they were almost sick of. But there was no way. Zheng Jie also wanted to let her husband and daughter eat better, but after she left the District Construction Committee, the whole family lost its source of income. She was a strong-willed woman and was unwilling to ask people for help. These days, while taking care of Zhao Da, she went out to run to the talent market during the day, but because she didn't have any special skills, she hadn't found any good jobs until now.

On the contrary, the agreement reached between Zhao Da and Zhao Desan, after the intimate contact that lasted for a night when Zhao Desan took Zheng Jie to a small hotel that night, began to handle her affairs. He arranged for her to deliberately bump into the affair between Zheng Tulu and He Liping, making them fear Zheng Jie psychologically. Plus, he let Zheng Jie spread the good deeds of Zheng Tulu and He Liping in the office at the grassroots level. He and Jia Wanli split into two ways to find Zheng Tulu and He Liping respectively to reflect the situation of Zheng Jie's family. The attitudes of the two coincided, and they didn't refuse, which meant that the opportunity for Zheng Jie to go to the Construction Committee to replace Zhao Da's job was very high. ===== CHAPTER 1509 =====

On the contrary, the agreement reached between Zhao Da and Zhao Desan began to be put into action after that night when Zhao Desan took Zheng Jie to a small hotel for an intimate encounter. He started handling her affairs, arranging for her to deliberately catch Zheng Tulu and He Liping in the act of adultery, so as to psychologically instill a sense of fear in them toward Zheng Jie. Furthermore, after he had Zheng Jie spread the word among the grassroots staff about the good times Zheng Tulu and He Liping were having in the office, he and Jia Wanli split up to approach Zheng Tulu and He Liping respectively to report on the situation of Zheng Jie's family. Their attitudes coincided perfectly; by not refusing, it meant that the chance for Zheng Jie to go to the Construction Committee to take over Zhao Da's job was very high.
