You run off like a puppy the moment someone calls you, neglecting the child entirely. Don't you deserve to be disciplined?
Li Chenyang felt so ashamed that he turned to leave.
"Stop right there!" Ye Xiaoxiao shouted, "Get inside!"
Li Chenyang gritted his teeth and stood still.
"You're not going in? Then let me teach you some more?" Ye Xiaoxiao made a move to go over.
As soon as Li Chenyang saw her coming, he quickly slipped into the house. This amused everyone around him.
"This Li Chenyang is way too afraid of his wife."
"That's right, a grown man can't even beat his wife."
The next morning, when Li Chenyang opened the shop, he heard people talking about him outside.
"Who would have thought that a big man like Li would be no match for his wife? Hehehe, that's hilarious."
"He's not some kind of mixed breed, he looks like a coward..."
...
The whispers reached Li Chenyang's ears, and he grew increasingly furious. He refused to open the door, went back inside, and glared at Ye Xiaoxiao.
"I don't want to live anymore! I want a divorce!"
Ye Xiaoxiao laughed upon hearing this: "What did you say?"
"I said I want a divorce!" Li Chenyang said stubbornly.
"You hit me in front of others, showing me no respect. I want a divorce."
[System, it's not me who wants a divorce, it's him who wants a divorce from me. It's not my fault. How about I grant his wish, and we can go out and enjoy the good life together?]
[You wish! You'd better start teaching your man a lesson. If you don't change him, you'll lose points and money.]
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately retorted angrily, "Everything else is fine, but they're going to deduct money!"
"Fine, then let's get a divorce!" Ye Xiaoxiao retorted without backing down.
"Look at yourself now! You don't do anything productive, you're always acting like a servant to others, and you even want to hit me? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror!"
Li Chenyang was rendered speechless, but still stubbornly insisted, "Anyway...anyway, I want a divorce!"
"Okay, then let's go find the commune first thing tomorrow morning."
Ye Xiaoxiao said as she walked out, "I'm going to call our dad over so he can judge this."
Upon hearing that they needed to see his father-in-law, Li Chenyang immediately cowered: "You...you shouldn't go!"
"What? Giving up now?" Ye Xiaoxiao turned to look at him. "Weren't you so capable just now?"
Li Chenyang stood there, unsure whether to advance or retreat. He knew that if his father found out about this, he would be in deep trouble.
At this moment, Hao Hao burst into tears.
Ye Xiaoxiao took the child and glared at Li Chenyang:
"Think about it carefully yourself. You want a divorce, right?"
"Fine, let's go to the commune and let everyone judge how you, as a father, are taking care of your child!"
Li Chenyang wasn't drunk last night; he was perfectly sober now.
Seeing his wife holding the baby, and remembering what he had done yesterday, he suddenly felt quite pathetic.
"I...I didn't mean to," he said, head down.
"They said the tractor was broken and insisted I go take a look. I went for a while, but then they insisted I stay for drinks..."
"You do whatever others tell you to do, but why don't you listen to me? Are you living with me or with them?" Ye Xiaoxiao said irritably.
Are you stupid? They've asked you so many times because you know how to fix cars. You're doing all this free work, neglecting your own family. Your family runs a shop and earns a few dollars a day, while you're only making a dime helping them.
Li Chenyang scratched his head, exasperated: "We're all from the same village, what's wrong with helping someone out?"
"Helping them once or twice is one thing, but if it doesn't work out, are you expected to help them for life? Are you their father or mother? I think they're just taking advantage of you."
Ye Xiaoxiao sat down, holding the child. "If this happens again, see how I deal with you!"
Li Chenyang had no temper left and stood obediently to the side.
When Ye Xiaoxiao was breastfeeding the baby, he secretly glanced at her and saw that his wife's expression was still not good, so he quickly lowered his head.
"What are you looking at? Go open the door and do business."
Li Chenyang couldn't win a fight or an argument, so he could only run to open the shop with a pale face.
Li Chenyang is the hottest topic in the village right now.
"Have you heard? Li Chenyang can't beat his wife."
"That's right, he was being beaten by his wife in front of so many people."
"Tsk tsk, how will they ever be able to hold their heads high in the village again?"
…………
At lunchtime, Li Chenyang still looked grim because everyone who came to buy things that day smiled at him, and their smiles were strange. They even asked him how his sister-in-law was so fierce, and whether she was beaten every day.
"Still angry? Tell me, what right do you have to be angry?"
If it weren't for my family's financial support, you'd be working in the fields every day right now.
You're not so lucky as to be sitting in the shop all day.
Li Chenyang, have you thought this through? If you want a divorce, fine, I'll take the child and go back to my parents' house. You saw it yourself.
My family is very wealthy. As for you, haha, do you even think you can find another wife?
Ye Xiaoxiao was fearless.
Li Chenyang was immediately struck by a realization. In his family, there were still four younger brothers who were not yet married. If he dared to mention divorce, not to mention anything else, even his own father could give him a good beating.
Left with no other option, Li Chenyang had to admit his mistake first.
"From now on, I will definitely put our family's affairs first."
"That's more like it."
Seeing that his attitude in admitting his mistake was acceptable, Ye Xiaoxiao softened her tone.
"If you really want to help others, you have to take care of your own family matters first."
You can't go anytime, you can wait until I get back, just close the shop immediately.
You lose at least three dollars a day. What do you gain by helping others?
Just let them say thank you. Besides, you can't help someone for nothing if they ask for your help.
Helping others becomes a habit; you'll help others for life.
Ye Xiaoxiao glared at Li Chenyang.
Li Chenyang was taken aback, thinking that his wife's words meant he should collect money from others.
This won't do. He's just helping out and he has to charge money. He can't do that.
"Huh? You want money?"
"Otherwise what? Look, people on farms get paid for their work."
Repairing tractors is such a hard job, it takes so much time and effort, but the most important thing is the technical skill in your head.
These are all costs. Why should we do it for free?
Li Chenyang scratched his head: "This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"
"What's wrong with it?"
Ye Xiaoxiao said, "You have skills, and your skills are money. Why should you work for others for free?"
From now on, anyone who asks you to fix something will have to pay at least 50 cents. If it's a big job, it'll be a dollar.
"Is...is this okay?" Li Chenyang was still a little hesitant.
"Why not?"
Ye Xiaoxiao said, "Now that we've entered a period of reform and opening up, things are different from before."
If you have a skill, it should be valuable, even if people gossip about it.
Let them go find the farm's technician and see if they'll fix it for them for free.
