After saying that, he rolled his eyes.

Even if she had no new clothes to wear, she would never marry a man like that.

If you have bad character, you won't be any good at work either.

“Exactly,” Huang Meijuan shook her head. “You need to find someone who can do housework to make a living. A man, no matter what, should be able to support the family. That Yu Wenli, tsk tsk, let them have a couple more days, and they’ll immediately show their true colors.”

Bai Jiaojiao finally got the radio working, and it was playing "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties." The two of them shut up and listened quietly.

Huang Meijuan knew the two sisters' intentions, but none of the three of them revealed it, and they happily ate sunflower seeds all night.

Huang Meijuan's status at home is very different now. When her mother-in-law came back, she had a fight with her. She slapped Chen Jiancheng across the face and asked him why he didn't take Zhuangzhuang to the hospital sooner, and now he's made his mother so angry.

At first, her mother-in-law was angry, but after a couple more beatings, she was fine. She didn't dare to show any temper, for fear that her mother-in-law would beat her son again.

This is also thanks to Chen Jiancheng's submissive nature. Otherwise, other men wouldn't have let their wives slap them. Now that Chen Jiancheng has switched from listening to his parents to listening to his wife, Huang Meijuan is living a much more comfortable life.

Huang Meijuan has no plans to have children now, and Chen Jiancheng doesn't dare to utter a word.

She felt she had already been generous enough by not letting Chen Jiancheng separate from his parents, because if she did, even if the older generation was wrong, the villagers would still gossip about the couple behind their backs.

The storytelling of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" lasted only half an hour, but Bai Shiqing and Huang Meijuan listened with great interest and wanted more.

"This has no beginning and no end, what kind of nonsense is this?" Bai Shiqing both loved and hated it.

"Sis, let me see if I can find a novel for you. You can read it yourself when you get back."

"Then I won't read it." Bai Shiqing waved her hand; she was too lazy to read.

"I want to see it, but I don't know many words." Huang Meijuan's family was poor when she was a child, and there were many children in the family. None of them had attended school for many years.

"It's okay, look, why don't you just ask Jiancheng? He went to junior high with me." Bai Shiqing nudged Huang Meijuan's arm, smiling teasingly.

No matter what happened in the past, as long as the marriage can't be dissolved, it's better for the couple to stay amicable.

Bai Shiqing still hopes that Huang Meijuan can get over Zhuangzhuang's troubles as soon as possible, which is also a way to let go of her own burdens.

Huang Meijuan blushed, and Bai Jiaojiao immediately laughed and said, "Then I'll go back and find it right away. I remember I have this novel, and it even has illustrations."

Bai Jiaojiao went to the thatched hut where Shen Heng used to live and searched through it. She actually found "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" among the books she brought from the battle of Yancheng.

It wasn't entirely in vernacular Chinese, Bai Jiaojiao muttered, "This is enough for the two of you to study carefully."

Shen Heng appeared behind her without her noticing: "Who's the couple?"

"Ah!" Bai Jiaojiao was startled. "Brother Heng, why are you standing behind me without making a sound?"

"Didn't I scare you by speaking?" Shen Heng took Bai Jiaojiao's book. "You have novels? Coming home in the middle of the night, instead of going inside, you come here looking for this?"

Bai Jiaojiao blew out the oil lamp and went back to the bedroom with Shen Heng.

"Didn't I bring a radio to Sister Meijuan's house today? She listened to the storyteller for a while but didn't get enough. I remembered that I had this novel, so I wanted to find it for her to read. She said she doesn't know many words, and I think the language in this book isn't very colloquial, so I was afraid she wouldn't understand it."

"If there's anything you don't understand, come on, get on the kang (heated brick bed), and I'll read it to you."

"No need, Brother Heng, I've already read the whole book."

"I haven't seen it yet. I've only heard bits and pieces of information about it before. You'll watch it with me again tonight."

"......" Are you reading a book?

Bai Jiaojiao knew that as long as Shen Heng was involved in anything related to "going to bed," it was definitely not a proper matter.

As expected, Shen Heng insisted on holding her while she read, and before she had even finished reading the introduction, he threw the book aside: "The words in this book are too dense, I can't see them clearly, you should read it to Heng-ge instead."

Shen Heng initially held the book with both hands, but now he is holding Bai Jiaojiao with both hands.

"If you don't like it, then don't look at it. The print on the college entrance exam paper will be the same size. You'll be able to read it even if you try in the exam room."

Bai Jiaojiao was wearing very little clothing, just a shirt and a vest underneath, and soon the buttons on her shirt were all rubbed open by Chen Heng.

"Don't move. Didn't we agree that we'd each sleep separately on odd-numbered days?"

"Your rules are unreasonable. Some things can't be done according to plan. Sometimes emotions get the better of you, and you can't spoil the fun."

Shen Heng slapped his thigh; he had truly had enough.

Whose wife has to be on odd or even days when she starts her job?

Is it possible to marry only half a wife?

Bai Jiaojiao found it amusing: "Is it because you sometimes get emotional?"

What man thinks about nothing but sex all day long? Even those who work have weekends off. Even those who work for the brigade sometimes get a day off, right?

Even capitalists don't exploit people like this.

Bai Jiaojiao kicked Chen Heng: "If you don't keep your word, you can go sleep in the side room!"

Shen Heng gritted his teeth: "If I didn't keep my word, would I have held back for so long?"

As he spoke, he lay down to one side, his back to Bai Jiaojiao, his back seemingly screaming: Hurry up and coax me.

Who knew that Bai Jiaojiao would blow out the lamp directly.

"Jiaojiao..."

"Um."

Sensing Shen Heng approaching again, Bai Jiaojiao calmly replied.
