"Repairing the floor?" Zhang Ke showed an expression of pretending to be surprised, and then he suddenly realized it and said with a bitter smile: "No, I just had a quarrel with my wife and we were fighting."
"Ah, that's right...then, then I'm really sorry."
The man with glasses said embarrassedly, but at the same time, his face showed a sympathetic expression.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ke quickly took out the cigarettes and lighter in his pocket, handed them to the other party, and said politely: "Brother, can you smoke one? I saw that you came knocking on the door in the middle of the night. My sister-in-law probably forced you to come here.
Bar?"
"It's okay, I have it myself..." The man put his hand into his pocket, only to find that it was empty. His face suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and then he smiled and took the cigarette from Zhang Ke and said, "Thank you. I
I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring it with me."
He glanced at the cigarette case in his hand. There was a delicate rose painted on the front, and the background color was also bright magenta. He couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, do you usually smoke ladies' cigarettes? This seems to be the name of the Rose brand.
A pack of cigarettes costs thousands of yuan."
"ah?"
Zhang Ke obviously doesn't understand tobacco at all, let alone "Rose Brand".
He just saw the lighter and cigarette case on the bedside table. He thought of the man in glasses who he saw through the peephole in his last reincarnation, as if he wanted to smoke but forgot to bring them, so he took them out casually.
Now when I took a closer look, I discovered that not only was there a rose painted on the front of the cigarette box, but the words "For Lady" were even written on the back. It could be said that it was indeed an authentic tobacco specifically for ladies.
"Alas...don't you know?"
The man with glasses obviously feels a little strange. After all, this is not a common product that can be bought casually in a small store outside for ten yuan. It has a special supply channel. Since it can be obtained, it is impossible not to know its origin.
"I...Actually, this is my wife's favorite cigarette. I rarely smoke." Zhang Ke suddenly thought and cursed, "It turns out this cigarette is so expensive. Damn that prodigal woman, wait until she comes back to see me.
Don’t settle the score with her!”
"Come back? Isn't she at home?" said the strange-eyed man.
Finally took the bait - Zhang Ke was secretly happy, but his face was filled with sadness, "I'm not afraid of your jokes anymore. In fact, after we had a big fight just now, my wife ran out angrily, saying she wanted to
runaway."
"I was so angry at the time that I told her to go as far as possible. But in fact, I knew she couldn't run very far. After all, her luggage, money, everything was at home, and she would be back soon," he said.
Here, Zhang Ke's face darkened and he sighed:
"It's just that she has a bad temper. I'm afraid she will have a big fight with me when she comes back. No, this will affect your rest."
"Oh, it's not easy for you, and so am I..." After hearing Zhang Ke's "experience", the man with glasses couldn't help but feel that he was in the same boat, and regretted meeting each other so late, "My wife's temper is probably even more grumpy than yours, and she's a little bit unsatisfied."
Just holding a rolling pin all day long and trying to hit someone makes me miserable."
"Rolling pin? Are you exaggerating?" Zhang Ke pretended to be surprised.
——No, it’s not an exaggeration at all. After all, I saw it with my own eyes in my first reincarnation.
"Well, actually I can't blame her entirely... After all, she is not a normal person and has some bipolar disorder, so I usually give in when she wants." The man with glasses sighed.
It can be seen that he is a qualified and competent husband. Even when faced with such an irritable and crude yellow-faced wife, he never thought of abandoning her.
"I see that you are quite thin, and you are not in good health, right?" He was thinking that Yuan Mengmeng would arrive in a few minutes, so Zhang Ke was still talking nonsense to him, trying to collect more information.
"Well, I have diabetes. You may not be able to tell. I used to be fatter than my wife." The man with glasses said with a smile, "But since I got diabetes, I have been losing weight. Plus, I also pay attention to my diet, and I am now where I am now."
You look like this, you are still young and you should take care of yourself."
"Definitely, definitely." Zhang Ke estimated that the time was almost up, so he took the other person's hand and said very embarrassedly: "Brother, there is one thing I'm really embarrassed to trouble you with, but this is so late at night, I
There is no way to find anyone else."
"Oh? What's wrong? You said?"
"It's like this. According to what I know about my wife, she is probably running around downstairs in anger. If there is no one to persuade her, we will definitely quarrel again when we meet, so..." Zhang Ke
He said sheepishly:
"I have a cruel request. Brother, can you go downstairs and help me persuade my wife? Her name is Yuan Mengmeng. She wears a single ponytail and red short-tube summer pants. It's easy.
recognize."
"this……"
The man with glasses was hesitant. Although he hoped that more trouble would be better than less trouble, he thought that if the two of them got into a big fight again later, he would inevitably be kicked out by the "tenant" at home.
In the worst case scenario, she would rush upstairs with a rolling pin, and things would get even more out of hand.
"In the future, if my sister-in-law is in a bad mood and quarrels with you, and you think you can't stay at home, you can come to my place to spend the night." Seeing that the other party's attitude was a little wavering, Zhang Ke hurriedly hit the rails while the iron was hot, "We both married a tough guy.
Women who live in poverty must naturally support each other."
With Zhang Ke's words, the man with glasses finally made up his mind, nodded and said: "I'll give it a try, but you also know that I'm stupid and can't even coax my own wife, so I may not be of any use.
.”
"It's okay. Mengmeng's temper comes and goes quickly. As long as someone can talk to her for a few words, it's easy to calm down. And I also need some time to clean up the house. The living room was messed up when we had a fight just now.
"Langsha, I'm afraid she'll come back and get into trouble again." Zhang Ke added.
"Okay, then I'll go downstairs and give it a try..." Although the other party didn't have much confidence, after Zhang Ke's deception, he still chose to enter the downward elevator.
After watching the other party go away, Zhang Ke immediately turned around and returned to the room. He estimated that he had less than ten minutes to prepare.
After the man with glasses finds Yuan Mengmeng, the two will inevitably be entangled for a while. The best estimate is that he can scare Yuan Mengmeng away.
However, Zhang Ke has doubts about the possibility of this. As long as he can delay the opponent's footsteps to a certain extent, it will be good.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Ke searched the house again, collecting some things that might be used, such as banknotes, transportation cards, flashlights, work permits, etc., and also took off the Hello Kitty electronic watch on the left hand of the corpse.
