"Where did you skimp on two thousand yuan? Lu He is so lucky to have a sister-in-law like you. Marrying you is the greatest blessing of my life, my dear wife, thank you." Lu Chen held Shen Qiaoyue's hand, his eyes full of love, as he confessed his love and thanked her.

If he hadn't married Shen Qiaoyue, his life would still be a blur; he wouldn't have felt love or experienced what a warm home was like.

Lu Chen had no concept of saving money. He had saved a few thousand yuan before getting married because he was trying to save money to get married before he got married.

After getting married, all the money was handed over to Shen Qiaoyue to manage.

"There's nothing I can do, I had no choice but to marry you!" Shen Qiaoyue sighed.

Hearing Shen Qiaoyue's tone, Lu Chen chuckled softly, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

“I never said I regretted it, you were the one who said it,” Shen Qiaoyue replied to Lu Chen, suppressing a laugh.

In fact, Lu Chen could see how hard Shen Qiaoyue was working. He sat up, hugged Shen Qiaoyue, and said, "Wife, you've worked hard. I will definitely work harder and do better to share the housework with you. If there's anything I've done wrong, please tell me, and I will definitely correct it."

Seeing that Lu Chen had such awareness, Shen Qiaoyue was already very satisfied. Lu Chen usually did housework at home, and he was the one who took on most of the housework.

"I didn't suffer much, it's just that my aunt took care of our children, and I felt a little bad for her. She wouldn't accept money from us." Sometimes Shen Qiaoyue felt that she shouldn't have done that, but she really needed someone to look after the children while she was at work. Now that the children were in daycare, she only needed to check on them in the afternoons. But her aunt did her best to take care of them. Taking care of three children by herself must be really tiring.

My aunt and second uncle have really done a lot for their family.

Shen Qiaoyue felt indebted to her aunt.

Lu Chen gently comforted her, "It's okay. We'll share more of the housework and take better care of Xiangxiang. We'll buy her more nice clothes and shoes. We'll prepare everything we need. Auntie probably doesn't have her own children. She must be too bored and lonely with Uncle. That's why she thought of coming to help take care of the children. It'll be more lively with more children."

Shen Qiaoyue nodded and said, "Of course, Auntie's food and accommodation will definitely be the same as ours. I've been thinking about buying Auntie a few suitable outfits recently. The factory has recently started producing new fabrics, and foreign trade has opened up to us. Through this trade, we can also learn a lot of different technologies."

“Don’t overwork yourself. If you can’t, we can buy clothes. You’re already tired from work during the day, and you have plenty of clothes for the kids.” Lu Chen felt even more sorry for Shen Qiaoyue as he looked at her worried face. He said, “How about I learn how to make clothes from my aunt tomorrow? When I have some free time, I can make new clothes with you.”

Hearing Lu Chen make such a request, Shen Qiaoyue nodded and said, "I believe you can do it. You will definitely be the best when the time comes."

"Don't try to fool me. I know a little needlework before. Tomorrow I'll learn how to use that sewing machine from my aunt, and then I can make you some nice clothes."

Shen Qiaoyue stared at Lu Chen with a smile on her face and said, "I'm waiting for you to make me some beautiful clothes."

"Wait, I'll definitely do it." After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at the money that Shen Qiaoyue had counted, checked the time, and reminded her, "Hurry up and put it away and get some rest. You have to go to work tomorrow."

Shen Qiaoyue then tidied up the box and put the money inside.

She put it back in the cabinet, then turned off the light and lay down.

"Did you apply any medicine?" Shen Qiaoyue remembered that Lu Chen's hand was injured.

Lu Chen said, "I applied it. I applied it in the living room."

"Why didn't you call me?" Shen Qiaoyue was counting money and had forgotten about this matter.

"No need, I can manage on my own. Besides, it's just a minor injury, so there's no need to trouble my dear wife."

"What are you saying? You're injured, you don't need me to take care of you, so why did you marry me?" Shen Qiaoyue questioned Lu Chen.

Shen Qiaoyue spoke warmly, but Lu Chen added, "Of course I married you because I like you, not to make you work like a slave for me. Besides, you're already tired from taking care of the family. I don't want my wife to suffer because I can do things myself."

"Brother Chen, you're getting sweeter and sweeter. Who taught you that?" Lu Chen wasn't like this before. He would only say things like, "It's okay, I can do it."

Now they've started saying all these nice things to coax Shen Qiaoyue.

Lu Chen was injured, and applying medicine by himself would definitely require more care than having someone else do it for him.

"Now that I'm a dad, I naturally need to learn and grow too." Lu Chen has been interacting with his children a lot, so he's quick-witted. The children like to say nice things, so he repeats them too. He'll pick it up after a while.

"You smooth-talking bastard." Shen Qiaoyue pretended to be angry and pounded on Lu Chen's chest.

Lu Chen touched his chest and hissed in pain.

"Did it hurt?" Shen Qiaoyue asked with concern when she heard Lu Chen's voice.

"A little," Lu Chen replied, suppressing a laugh.

In the dimly lit room, Shen Qiaoyue couldn't see Lu Chen's expression. When she heard Lu Chen say it hurt, she immediately sat up worriedly and asked, "Didn't you hurt your hand? I just tapped it lightly, why does it hurt too? Are you injured somewhere else?"

Startled, Shen Qiaoyue broke out in a cold sweat and quickly got up to turn on the light and check.

Lu Chen pulled Shen Qiaoyue into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Shen Qiaoyue was still worried when Lu Chen laughed.

Realizing what had happened, Shen Qiaoyue angrily pounded on Lu Chen's chest again.

"If my wife hits me again, it will really be a serious injury!" Lu Chen touched the spot where his wife had hit him, his face full of happiness, and rolled over to kiss Shen Qiaoyue's forehead.
