Chapter 288 More Powerful Than You
Holy crap!
"Damn it!"
Ma Junjie was utterly incredulous; his foot recoiled as if he'd been electrocuted.
Because he saw Liu Dongmei staring at him like a ghost right next to his bed.
It seems that his actions just now startled Liu Dongmei as well.
She spat, stood up straight, and patted her chest.
"Oh my god, that scared me to death!"
"Ah Jie, why did you suddenly wake up?"
Ma Junjie started cursing.
"Liu Dongmei, why are you touching my leg?"
"Are you crazy? Are you a pervert?"
Hearing the sound, Ma Dazhu quickly ran in from outside the door.
Shouting,
"Ah Jie, you're awake! You're awake?"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
When Liu Dongmei saw Ma Dazhu arrive, she acted as if she were the victim.
Pointing at Ma Junjie, the villain accused first.
"Ma Dazhu, look at your good brother, lying through his teeth?"
"I kindly came in to call him, and he actually accused me of touching his thigh?"
"Ma Dazhu, tell me the truth. Would a woman as beautiful and charming as me be interested in your brother?"
"Pshaw, if word got out, people would laugh their heads off!"
Ma Dazhu listened, his face turning pale, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.
Ma Junjie turned his head and glanced at Ma Dazhu.
He understood that this problem was a tremendous torment for Ma Dazhu.
Ma Dazhu answered yes, no.
The answer is no, and that's incorrect.
He was caught in the middle, like Pigsy looking in a mirror—neither here nor there.
Ma Junjie glared at Liu Dongmei, too lazy to bother with her anymore.
After getting dressed, I quickly got up.
"Liu Dongmei..." Ma Junjie suddenly spoke.
Now that things have come to this, Ma Junjie has stopped pretending.
Previously, out of consideration for her brother Ma Dazhu and to spare his feelings, she reluctantly addressed Liu Dongmei as "sister-in-law."
right now,
Ma Junjie truly saw through Liu Dongmei's true colors.
As the saying goes, "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature."
Whether in the past or now,
Liu Dongmei is still the same Liu Dongmei as before; she has never changed.
Liu Dongmei heard Ma Junjie address her by her full name.
He sneered.
"Hey, what's wrong? Aren't you going to pretend anymore?"
Ma Junjie snorted coldly, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Liu Dongmei, actually, even though I call you by your first name now, I'm still pretending!"
"You...!" Liu Dongmei was furious and extremely angry.
Upon seeing this, Ma Dazhu quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, Jiale, shut up!"
"Dongmei, you too, talk less!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Dongmei immediately pointed at Ma Dazhu.
He angrily rebuked,
"Shut up!"
Ma Dazhu sighed and fell silent.
Liu Dongmei held her head high and puffed out her chest, holding up her two impressively large loofahs.
His tone was arrogant as he spoke to Ma Junjie.
"Ah Jie, enough talk, let's go."
"Go? Where to?" Ma Junjie asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Heh!" Liu Dongmei sneered.
"Ah Jie, you really do have a bad memory."
"Didn't you say last night that you were going to the hospital first thing this morning to check the results? Look at the time now!"
Ma Junjie was startled and looked outside. The sun was shining brightly and had already risen high in the sky.
He took out his phone, glanced at it, and wow, it was already 10:30 in the morning.
Ma Junjie found it somewhat unbelievable.
Because he had never gotten up this late before.
It's probably because Tang Feng and Tang Die stayed up too late watching TV last night.
It's so noisy, I can't sleep at all.
Ma Junjie closed his eyes just before dawn, fell asleep, and woke up again after 10 o'clock.
"Let's go, let's go!" Ma Junjie waved his hand impatiently.
He also warned,
"Liu Dongmei, never step into my bedroom again without my permission."
"If there's a next time, I'll definitely kick you out."
Liu Dongmei's face showed disdain.
"Tch, as if I really wanted to come in."
"If I hadn't kindly come in to call you, I wouldn't have bothered coming in at all."
"And your own door opens with a simple push. Isn't this entrapment?"
Ma Junjie was skeptical, thinking, "Is the door really going to open with just a push?"
He quickly went to the door, grabbed the doorknob, and shook it.
The lock cylinder does seem to have a problem; it's making an unusual "creaking" sound.
Ma Junjie speculated that the door was probably broken before.
I just didn't realize this problem when I lived alone before.
He gently pushed the door open and said,
"Alright, let's go downstairs."
"Oh right, where are the others? What about Tang Feng and Tang Die?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Dazhu replied.
"Ah Jie, Hua Hua is still sleeping. I can go and carry her now."
"As for Tang Feng and Tang Die, I really don't know..."
As he spoke, Ma Dazhu fixed his gaze on Liu Dongmei.
Liu Dongmei paused, then glanced at Ma Dazhu with a look of disgust.
"Ma Dazhu, you're someone who doesn't care about anything, what do you know!"
"Tang Feng and Tang Die are much more diligent than us; they got up early this morning and went out."
"They went out?" Ma Dazhu muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.
"What... what can those two little brats do outside?"
"We're in an unfamiliar place, let's hope nothing bad happens..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dongmei felt that her relative had been looked down upon.
He raised his foot and kicked at Ma Dazhu.
"Damn it, Ma Dazhu, do you really look down on my people that much?"
"You're amazing! If you're so amazing, why have you spent your whole life farming at home?"
"If you ever look down on Tang Feng and Tang Die again, I'll abandon your daughter too. Damn it, you useless man!"
Ma Dazhu didn't fight back, but retreated repeatedly.
Of course, he didn't say anything back, remaining silent.
Ma Junjie watched as his own brother became so spineless and was constantly bullied.
I felt really bad.
But even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes.
This imbalance of power between the two of them, with the woman dominating the man, has been going on for quite some time.
As an outsider, I can only chime in with a few words at most, but I can't actually change anything.
Ma Junjie was upset and shook his head.
Shout it out.
"Alright, that's enough!"
"Brother, go get the flowers, I'm going to wash my face, and then we'll leave right away."
"Those two kids are definitely not little brats anymore; they're quite formidable! They're probably downstairs not far away."
Ma Dazhu thought Ma Junjie's words made sense.
She turned around and went to the bedroom to find Huahua.
Ma Junjie went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, and a few minutes later, the group reunited in the living room.
Ma Junjie looked at Huahua in Ma Dazhu's arms, who seemed dazed and not fully awake yet.
Her hair was a little messy, and her little face was rosy; she was very cute.
It was only at this moment, looking at Hua Hua, that Ma Junjie felt a little calmer.
"Ah Jie, don't waste time, if you're going to leave, hurry up and go!" Liu Dongmei urged impatiently.
"By the way, we're all hungry. Why don't you treat us to breakfast?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie gave a wry smile.
He finally understood Liu Dongmei's true purpose.
I woke myself up very early in the morning.
Does Liu Dongmei really have such good intentions?
Hmph, they've got quite the shrewd plan.
The reason someone came to call me was simply because they wanted to eat breakfast but didn't want to spend money, so they came to call Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie's eyes were opened once again.
He shook his head, thinking that even if he ate breakfast, it would be his last meal.
He readily agreed.
"Alright, let's go!"
"I'll treat you to a good meal!"
After saying that, Ma Junjie subconsciously touched his pocket.
Upon touching it, suddenly,
Ma Junjie's eyes widened, and he shouted.
"My keys, where are my car keys?"
