Chapter 334: You don’t even have three minutes, why are you yelling?
After just a few days of arriving, Li Guimei became familiar with everyone in the staff building. Although she looked rough, she was very skillful and could make clothes, knit sweaters, and shoes. She was also very good at pickling kimchi.
"Sister Luo, this is the pickled radish I made. Do you want some?"
Li Guimei brought over a bowl of pickled radish, which was crispy and looked very tempting.
"Thank you, I'm craving this."
Luo Xinxin took it and said to her second sister that after she went to the farm, it was inconvenient for her to eat kimchi. Unexpectedly, the kimchi made by Li Guimei was also delicious.
She suddenly felt a little grateful to Peng Shuangcheng. Although this man was not a good person, the wives he married were all excellent, which was one of his few advantages.
Luo Xinxin picked up a piece of pickled radish and ate it. It was sour and spicy, very crispy, and not too salty. It could be eaten as a snack.
"It's delicious. Sister Li, you are such a great cook."
She ate several pieces of it and praised it highly.
"Even if it tastes good, don't eat too much. It will cause bloating." Li Guimei reminded with a smile.
After observing for a period of time and getting to know the neighbors, she finally knew about the grudge between Peng Shuangcheng and Luo Xinxin. Although Peng Shuangcheng was her man, she felt that Luo Xinxin was right and Peng Shuangcheng was too petty.
Li Guimei likes talking to Luo Xinxin. It is so pleasing to look at such a beautiful face. Moreover, Luo Xinxin is a cultured person, and talking to her can broaden one's horizons.
She took out the insole from under her armpit, sat down to knit it, and chatted at the same time.
Luo Xinxin was also watching her work. She rubbed the awl in her hair a few times, stuck it hard into the insole, and pulled it again. The hemp thread was pulled over, and then she pulled it tight and continued with the next stitch.
Li Guimei works very efficiently. She hardly needs to check the insoles, and the stitches are very neat.
"Sister Luo, you are pregnant with twins and will probably give birth next month. Have you prepared everything for the birth?"
"I'm ready."
"That's good. You will take care of the baby yourself after it is born?" Li Guimei was very enthusiastic and took care of every detail.
"I definitely need to hire someone to take care of him. I've already asked my sister-in-law to help find someone."
Old Mrs. Luo volunteered to come to the family building to take care of the children, but was rejected by Luo Xinxin, who would rather spend money to hire someone else.
Luo Weian also firmly opposed it. There were already a lot of failed products at home, and he couldn't let this stupid old woman harm his great-grandson.
Li Guimei smiled cheerfully and said, "I can also lend a hand. Even though I have never given birth to a child, I helped raise my nephews and nieces, so I have experience in raising children."
"Okay, I'll have to trouble you then."
Luo Xinxin did not refuse. It was not known when Zhi Hongxia would be able to find someone, so it would be good to have Li Guimei's help.
"Why would it be so hard? I don't have to go to work, it's just a matter of lending a hand, and I can even share in the good fortune!"
Li Guimei did not hide her thoughts. Although she looked down on Peng Shuangcheng, she had to give birth to the child, otherwise this man might cause trouble again.
Peng Shuangcheng came home from get off work. When he passed by Li's house, he saw Li Guimei and Luo Xinxin chatting and laughing. He immediately felt angry and coughed hard at the door, "Is the meal ready?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come home for dinner!"
Li Guimei didn't even move. It was her freedom to make friends, and Peng Shuangcheng had no control over her.
She is getting married, not being sold to this man.
Peng Shuangcheng's face became even gloomier. After living together for a while, he realized that Li Guimei was not a soft-tempered person. Instead, she was very opinionated. She only listened to half of what he said and threw away the other half, which made him very annoyed.
For example, now, he has already warned her, but this woman still refuses to come back.
"You're not eating?"
Peng Shuangcheng roared.
"You eat first, I'll be back as soon as I finish what I'm doing."
Li Guimei didn't even raise her head. If she compromised this time, Peng Shuangcheng would definitely go even further in the future. She couldn't let this precedent. She had to nip this man's arrogance in the bud.
Peng Shuangcheng went home with a gloomy face. There was hot rice and hot dishes in the pot, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, stir-fried shredded carrots, and a plate of pickled radish on the table, all of which were his favorite foods.
His anger subsided a little, and he sat down to eat. He finished both dishes, leaving only one plate of pickled radish.
This was the lesson he gave Li Guimei: if she didn’t come back, she wouldn’t have any food to eat.
Li Guimei was sewing shoe soles next door as steady as a rock, not in any hurry to go home.
"Peng Shuangcheng is very stingy. He will definitely get angry if you don't go back."
Luo Xinxin dared to say this because Li Guimei had also complained about Peng Shuangcheng's stinginess.
"He can vent his anger, I just ignore him."
Li Guimei didn't care at all and just thought it was Peng Shuangcheng talking nonsense.
Luo Xinxin burst out laughing. She quite liked Li Guimei's personality. She was more transparent than Xiang Ermei, and was very opinionated and capable. If it weren't for the limitations of the current era, Li Guimei might not have married and could have lived a good life alone.
To Li Guimei, Peng Shuangcheng is not actually her husband, but just a partner.
Li Guimei finished sewing one sole and finally returned home.
Peng Shuangcheng had finished his meal and was soaking his feet in hot water. There were a few empty plates and a plate of pickled radish on the table.
Seeing her come back, Peng Shuangcheng said sarcastically, "Are you willing to come back?"
"Have you finished your food?"
Li Guimei spoke calmly and placed the shoe soles and awl on the table.
"I thought you didn't want to eat."
For some reason, Peng Shuangcheng felt a little guilty in front of her, and his momentum weakened a lot.
"Did I say I don't want to eat? I clearly said I would come back to eat after mending the soles of my shoes. Are you deaf?"
Peng Shuangcheng suddenly became furious and said angrily, "So what if I ate it all? I'm the head of the family, what's wrong with eating some vegetables? Didn't I leave you some pickled radish? There's still so much rice, and you're still not satisfied with both?"
"Why don't you eat radish? Because you know meat tastes better, and radish doesn't have the same flavor as meat. Peng Shuangcheng, I didn't marry you to be a slave. Husband and wife are equal. I work hard to take care of the housework and serve you delicious meals, but I can't get your respect in return. So don't blame me for being inconsiderate!"
Li Guimei retorted with reason and evidence, saying that there was still bacon at home and she would just fry another plate later, but she had to teach this man a lesson first, otherwise he would be even more excessive in the future.
"Are you planning a rebellion? Li Guimei, don't forget who you rely on for food?"
Peng Shuangcheng was furious and cursed Xiang Ermei with the same words, but he forgot that the woman in front of him was not Xiang Ermei, but Li Guimei.
"I didn't starve to death by myself before. After I married you, I took on all the housework. Even if you hired a nanny, you have to pay her. How can I rely on you for food? Peng Shuangcheng, don't be so shameless. Did I give you face? It's not even three minutes. Why are you yelling at me?"
Li Guimei rushed over, grabbed Peng Shuangcheng by the collar and lifted him up.
"Are you going to rebel? Let go!"
Peng Shuangcheng was so angry that he yelled, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from Li Guimei's grip. This woman was stronger than an ox.
