After leaving the grain and oil store, the two prepared to find a car to go back. When they passed by the canteen where Lao Li worked, they unexpectedly saw that the canteen door was closed and the room was dark, as if it was not open.
However, Liu Chunhua did not think much about it. She just thought that maybe something happened in the canteen and they were temporarily closed for a day.
When they got home, Liu Chunhua was holding Jiang Ruyi. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Jiang Chao walking into the room.
"You damn bitch, where have you been so early in the morning? You didn't even cook or wash clothes. You must be dreaming." Jiang Chao was still brooding over what happened last night. When he found out that Liu Chunhua was not at home early in the morning, his rage grew.
But Liu Chunhua was not a soft persimmon that he could bully. Her expression suddenly turned cold. "I am not a servant you hired. Servants are paid. What can you give me? I can't even do a fart. Why do you want me to serve you at home all day long?"
"you!"
Jiang Chao was stunned. When did Liu Chunhua become so eloquent?
He watched Liu Chunhua walk past him, walk into the house, close and lock the door, completely ignoring him as the head of the family.
"Liu Chunhua! I think you really want to rebel! If you have the guts, don't talk to me for the rest of your life. I wonder how long you can hold on." Jiang Chao was furious outside. It was estimated that the neighbors could hear his "manly" speech.
Liu Chunhua ignored it. Since she couldn't please either side, why should she endure Jiang Chao's anger?
[Tsk, you have grown up. ]
Jiang Ruyi rarely praised Liu Chunhua. Liu Chunhua was originally very calm, but her face turned slightly red after she said that. "It's because you nag me every day. Besides, I'm planning to rent a house. Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ruyi's tone suddenly became cautious, [If Fifth Brother finds a house, can you really move out immediately? ]
"I..." Liu Chunhua hesitated, and Jiang Ruyi knew at a glance that she didn't know how to tell Jiang Chao.
[Don't think he'll let you go. If that really comes to that, you'll have no choice but to divorce.] Jiang Ruyi said calmly, but Liu Chunhua felt mixed emotions.
Although she said she was firm, she was still a little scared when it came to getting divorced.
Not to mention that she has lived here for so many years, she still has some feelings for Jiang Chao.
Jiang Ruyi saw all of this, and she thought that perhaps only when Liu Chunhua became more disappointed could she become more resolute.
On the other side, after Jiang Chao cursed at the door for a long time without getting any response, he could only pretend not to care and leave.
When he arrived at Widow Zhang's house, he didn't care about Feng Chuchu who was lying on the kang, he lifted the quilt and crawled in.
He was frozen to death.
Zhang Tieying woke up instantly, and when he saw it was Jiang Chao, he held back his curse words, "Why are you here at this time? Where's your wife?"
"Don't mention her to me! She's holding her precious daughter all day long, and I don't know where she'll be back from!"
Feng Chuchu, who was about to leave, got off the kang when she heard this and said casually, "Aunt Jiang is out again. Speaking of which, Aunt Jiang has been out more often since she gave birth to sister Ruyi. I've heard from several people that they saw Aunt Jiang on the street!"
"What a disgrace!" Jiang Chao hadn't reacted yet. He just felt that Liu Chunhua was embarrassing him by running outside all day.
Feng Chuchu rolled her eyes in disdain and continued to hint at him, "But doesn't Aunt Jiang have any relatives here? Not only does she waste money on traveling to the streets all day, but isn't she afraid that Sister Ruyi will freeze to death? And about Jinsuo last time, does Aunt Jiang have any relatives with the surname Huo here?"
"She has shitty relatives!" Jiang Chao cursed instinctively, and suddenly he was stunned.
Regarding the gold locket, Liu Chunhua only said that it was given by someone else, but who would give such a valuable thing? Jiang Chao finally reacted after Feng Chuchu reminded him of this.
Something is wrong. Something is absolutely wrong!
Zhang Tieying also received the signal from his daughter and put his hand on Jiang Chao's shoulder. "I also heard that your wife wants to separate from you and divorce you. If no one takes over for her, would she dare to have this idea? Don't let others keep you in the dark."
"No way, she is not that kind of person..." Jiang Chao carefully recalled every detail of his time with Liu Chunhua over the years. Liu Chunhua had always been devoted to him, but it was precisely because of this devotedness in the past that Liu Chunhua's changes now made him feel disappointed.
"Hmph, believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm a woman and I understand women best. Liu Chunhua has clearly changed her mind." After Zhang Tieying finished speaking, she adjusted her hair with a smile, but it was this smile that suddenly irritated Jiang Chao.
"She won't!" Jiang Chao jumped off the platform without even having time to put on his shoes. "I'm going to ask her about this. If she really dares to have someone outside, I'll beat her to death."
"Hey, don't be impulsive." Zhang Tieying pretended to stop him a few times, and then went back to doing his own thing.
"Mom, are you just not going to care about him? Why do I feel like he still has Liu Chunhua in his heart? What if they really reconcile..."
"Heh." Widow Zhang smiled. How could she not understand what her own daughter could see? However, she looked at Feng Chuchu and taught her word by word, "Listen carefully. Men are meant to be used. You don't care who his heart belongs to. As long as you get what you want, that's enough. Besides, there is no cat in this world that doesn't steal fish. Your Uncle Jiang will come to me again."
Feng Chuchu seemed to understand, but at this moment, this perverse logic was imprinted in her heart and influenced her entire life.
Jiang Chao returned home, but did not rush in. Smoke was rising from the kitchen in the yard, and Liu Chunhua was busy at the stove.
She was wearing a simple coarse cloth dress and her hair was simply tied up. As she washed rice, a strand of hair fell down from her forehead. Liu Chunhua freed her hands to pin the hair behind her head, but it soon fell down again due to inertia.
Jiang Ruyi on the side made an unclear sound. Jiang Chao couldn't understand what she was saying, but Liu Chunhua seemed to understand and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Jiang Chao's steps suddenly stopped and he could no longer move forward.
In fact, no one knows better than him what Liu Chunhua has done for him since she came into this family. In the early years when they didn't have children, Liu Chunhua focused all her attention on him. Later, when the eldest and second child were born, Liu Chunhua took on the responsibility of supporting the family alone.
Maybe, maybe he was just overthinking what had happened recently?
