Story 17: Use Your Pulse to Teach Your Wife

Use Your Pulse to Teach Your Wife

Author: Yang Xin

In the early years, there was a scholar named Zhu in Henan Province. He was engaged to the daughter of the Jin family in a neighboring village since he was a child. When he was 18 years old, the general Jin married her. The young couple loved each other and were very happy.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the two elders passed away one after another, their family fell into decline, and their lives suddenly fell into trouble. Zhu Sheng had never done farm work before, and he couldn’t pick up a hoe or a hoe. What should he do? An uncle in my family has been running a medicine shop in Kanto for many years.

This year he went home to visit relatives. Seeing that his life was difficult, he decided to take him to Kanto to earn money from labor. After the young couple discussed it, Zhu Sheng went with the uncle.

There is a stipulation on receiving labor compensation, and you are not allowed to return home after less than 3 years. Zhu Sheng stayed there for three years. In the first year, he worked as a chore, in the second year, he helped in the closet, and in the third year, he was allowed to sit in the shop and study medicine.

During the three years, Zhu Sheng got up early, was greedy and worked hard at night, not to mention the hardships and hardships. He had a hard time at the end of the three years. As soon as he was ready to visit his family, Zhu Sheng went to say goodbye to his uncle. The uncle saw that he was eager to go home, so he settled his wages. Zhu Sheng took the silver and hurried back at night. A few days later, he arrived at the entrance of his village.

Just as he was about to enter the village to go home, he suddenly thought, I have been away from home for so many years, can my wife be lonely at home? Can she find a man? Damn it, why don’t I take a sneak peek tonight to see what happens.

Thinking of waiting outside the village until he couldn’t distinguish anyone, he sneaked into the village and walked into his courtyard. When he saw that the lights were still on in the house, Jin was not sleeping yet, so he squatted in the corner and listened to the noise.

Not long after, a person came in from outside. Once he entered the courtyard, he closed the door and then entered the house. Just listen to Jin saying: “Coming?” The man said: “Coming.” “Coming, let’s go to bed.” Zhu Sheng didn’t know who this person was, so he came to the window and quietly wet the hole in the paper and looked in.

It turned out that It’s Zhang Fa from East Street. Zhu Sheng felt so uncomfortable outside that he wished he could break in and eat them both alive to satisfy his hatred. But then I thought again, there really was a quarrel, and she was forced to a dead end, and the situation was irreversible. It was not good for me, it would bring Zhang Fa a bad reputation, and it would be a waste of enmity.

After thinking about it for a while, I had no idea, and suddenly someone spoke again in the room.

Zhang Fa said: “I’m so hungry. I was in such a hurry to get some soup that I didn’t even eat.”

Jin said: “I made dumplings for the buckwheat noodles you brought yesterday and kept them for you. I will cook them for you right away.”

While talking, Mrs. Jin went down to the ground to stoke the fire and sit on the pot, cooking dumplings while saying, “I owe you a lot of help in the past two years, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come here.”

“What are you talking about! Even so, if your man comes back and finds out about us, he will hate me to death!”

“Three years are here, I’m afraid it’s time for him to come back. If he comes back and knows about my hardships at home, he shouldn’t blame you.”

“If he comes back and you have someone to rely on, I won’t come.”

While talking, the dumplings were cooked, and they each took a bowl and ate them. Zhu Sheng was outside and heard no movement in the room. He felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over.

The ups and downs came all at once. He thought about it for a while, but finally decided that patience was the best option. It was hard enough for a weak woman to have to endure hardship at home for the past three years.

Fortunately, she still had me in her heart. Let’s not quarrel with each other, a wife is still a wife and a husband is still a husband. I will make a small plan tomorrow and give Jin a warning to persuade her to change her ways in the future.

Zhu Sheng thought for a while, and at five o’clock, he heard the door ring and Zhang Fa left. He also quietly went out for a walk outside the village and returned home after dawn. When Jin entered the house and saw Zhu Sheng back, he was overjoyed. He quickly lit a fire to cook and asked questions.

“Why did you come back so early in the morning?”

“It’s not what you want. I’ve been traveling all night in a hurry to come back.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Jin felt that she was sorry for Zhu Sheng at home. She felt uneasy and kept busy pouring water and serving food. After the meal, Zhu Sheng deliberately looked at Mr. Jin for a while and said, “I see you don’t look good. Could it be that you have mixed up with someone at home three years ago since I left home?” After saying this, he smiled.

Jin blushed and said, “This is not the case. You are too worried.”

“No, I learned my skills outside. Whether you are a gangster or not, I will know as soon as I feel your pulse.”

“Really? Then you can touch it and I’ll be sure.”

As he spoke, Jin stretched out his arm for Zhu Sheng to touch. Zhu Sheng pressed his fingers on Jin’s wrist, deliberately raised his face and thought about it for a while and said: “Your pulse is tingling and tingling, mixed with the hair on the east street. You had to do some work last night and ate buckwheat gnocchi.”

Yo! I can really touch it, even the buckwheat dumplings I eat. At that time, rural women did not understand this and believed it to be true. They dared to hide it, so they had no choice but to tell Zhu Sheng about their good relationship with Zhang Fa.

Zhu Sheng said: “Even if the past things are in the past, if I don’t pursue them, I won’t be allowed to do anything wrong in the future.”

Jin nodded in agreement. On this day, everyone in the neighborhood knew that Zhu Sheng was back, so Zhang Fa naturally did not dare to come. A few days later, Zhu Sheng thought, after all, I think the relationship between the two of them was broken, so he made another plan and said to Jin: “I sent someone a letter and forgot to deliver it. Let’s go today. It’s a long way. Tomorrow Only then can I come back.”

After making an agreement with Jin, Zhu Sheng deliberately walked through the crowded area of East Street. When others asked him, he said that he was going to a certain village and would not come back until tomorrow. Sure enough, Zhang Fa heard the news and came to see Jin again in the evening. At that time, Zhu Sheng had already sneaked into the yard and peeked in the corner.

He saw Zhang Fa calling the door, but Jin didn’t open it for him. He only said in the house: “You go, my man came back and learned his skills. He can tell by feeling his pulse.” It’s our business, let’s stop it from now on.”

“It’s so uncomfortable to be cut off like this. I can’t sleep even when I go back. It’s not in vain if you let me touch you again in the end.”

“Then just reach out from the crack of the door and touch it.”

Jin couldn’t bear it in her heart, so she opened the door a crack and the two were intimate again before Zhang Fa left. When Zhu Sheng came back the next day and saw Jin, he said, “I see that you have become an outsider again. Zhang Fa was here again last night, wasn’t he?”

Jin didn’t let Zhang Fa into the house this time, so he refused to admit it.

“Bring me your arm and let me touch it.”

Jin stretched out his arm, Zhu Sheng touched it, and said with a smile: “Your pulse is still tingling and tingling. Zhang Fa came here again last night. Although he was not doing anything, he felt it through the crack in the door.”

Jin blushed and lowered his head, never to interact with Zhang Fa again.
