"You! Isn't it just a sip of water? You two sisters are really more stingy and narrow-minded than each other."
Old Mrs. Lu got angry and became even more stubborn. "Zhicheng! Say something! My sister-in-law is here. I can't even drink a sip of water now, right?"
Lu Zhicheng looked at Pei An'an. He didn't dare yell at Pei Qinghuan, but he would scold Pei An'an, "An'an, is this how you treat my mother? Do you still want my mother to boil water for you? Your sister is ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"
This also gave Pei Qinghuan a lesson.
Pei Anan had a soft personality. After hearing what Lu Zhicheng said, her face turned even redder and her voice became hoarse. "Sister, sister, give mother-in-law some water. I just need to take some medicine..."
"Shh, drink some water."
Pei Qinghuan handed over a glass of water, shaking it to adjust the temperature before gently handing it to Pei Anan, "Take your medicine."
Seeing Pei Anan take a pill, Pei Qinghuan placed the kettle in Pei Anan's room and gently closed the door.
After making sure Pei Anan couldn't hear her voice, she looked at Lu Zhicheng with a cold gaze.
"I'm just ignorant. What's the matter? It's not right for a mother-in-law to boil water for her daughter-in-law, so why can't you, her brother-in-law, boil water for An An?"
Lu Zhicheng's face darkened, "I am a man after all..."
Pei Qinghuan glanced at him up and down. "Men can't boil water? Men don't have hands or feet. How can the world rely on us women to boil water? We owe you."
Lu Zhicheng was speechless after being rebuked. Knowing he was in the wrong, he snorted and turned around to get the kettle in displeasure.
When Mrs. Lu, who had just been complaining about being thirsty, saw that her own son really wanted to boil water, her expression changed.
"Oh! Wait, mom will boil the water. Mom will boil the water. How can I ask a grown man like you to do such a thing? We really married a good daughter-in-law. You actually let me, the mother-in-law, boil the water myself..."
Pei Qinghuan stared at Old Lady Lu and went to boil water while cursing.
She was not idle either, and handed the rag and bucket in her hand to Lu Zhicheng.
"Go mop the floor, brother-in-law. Can't you see how dirty this house is?"
Lu Zhicheng's eyes almost popped out of his head. He had never done the job of mopping the floor before. As soon as his hands touched the rag, he threw it to the ground as if he had touched something dirty.
"I really don't know how to do this. Mopping the floor is usually done by An An. You can't ask me to do this."
Lu Zhicheng's smile was a little forced, but he was so annoyed that he wanted to kick Pei Qinghuan out immediately.
"Why not? Take it."
The smile on Lu Zhicheng's face was almost frozen, and his eyes kept looking at the kitchen, almost shouting for help.
But Mrs. Lu was boiling water, and the noise was so loud that she couldn't hear the small noises in the living room.
"Take it!"
Pei Qinghuan stared at Lu Zhicheng and repeated it again.
Lu Zhicheng stretched out his hand stiffly and took the rag.
But my whole body was resisting as if it were something dirty.
"An An has a fever. You can't expect someone with a fever to mop the floor, do laundry, and cook for you, right?"
Lu Zhicheng's face turned as green as a toad, "I didn't mean that."
"That's good if there's nothing. Then take the rag and wipe it like this. It will be fine."
Lu Zhicheng's face turned extremely ugly, and his attitude became tough. "How can I do the work that women do?"
Pei Qinghuan's face also turned cold. "If you can't do it, I won't feel at ease leaving An An at your house. If you don't do the housework, you will definitely force An An, who has a fever, to do it! If you don't wipe it today, I will take An An back later!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhicheng became anxious, because he knew that Pei Qinghuan was a man of his words.
Only then did Lu Zhicheng reluctantly grasp the rag and wipe the floor unwillingly, looking as if he was humiliated.
Pei Qinghuan didn't forget to mock him, "Didn't you say you don't know how to do women's work? I think you wiped it very well."
"It seems that it's not that they can't do it, but that they are too lazy to do it. They pretend not to see it and leave all the work to An An."
