She pointed to the floor and said to Li Jing'er: "Look, this house hasn't been cleaned for a long time. The floor is extremely dirty. It used to be mopped every day."
Li Jing'er couldn't believe it: "I finally found a job, how could I quit so easily? If I quit, I won't be able to find another job!"
Lu Zhicheng frowned at the side: "How can it be so serious? Aren't there jobs everywhere?"
Li Jing'er felt like she was going crazy: "You are the one who has jobs everywhere, Zhicheng. You have a high degree and you are from Haicheng Group, so there is no need to worry about not finding a job. I have been looking for this job for a long time."
"I don't care. If you force me, I won't look for it."
Lu Ma immediately yelled, "Okay, we're forcing you. How can a wife just take care of the family once she gets a job? Who will do the housework then?"
Li Jing'er felt wronged and slammed the door and left.
Mother Lu stamped her feet in anger: "Why did you marry such a daughter-in-law?"
Lu Zhicheng also felt that Li Jing'er was making a fuss out of nothing. He just asked her to change to a less busy job, so why did she react so strongly?
But soon the two could not bear it anymore. There was no money at home, and Lu Ma loved playing cards, so she was itching to spend money.
Because of boredom, Lu Zhicheng also started to drink, but he had no money to buy it.
Mother Lu pushed Lu Zhicheng and said, "Zhicheng, go and persuade Jing'er to stop forcing her and let her keep her original job."
Lu Zhicheng subconsciously refused: "That woman has always been fond of throwing tantrums. If I let her succeed, I don't know how she will get more aggressive in the future."
Lu Ma also felt so, but now all the household expenses were borne by Li Jing'er, so she didn't dare to say anything bad about her.
"Zhicheng, you should try to persuade Jing'er. She listens to you the most. Just deal with her for a while. Once you find a job, kick this woman out and show her some respect!"
Lu Zhicheng just wanted a way out, and now that he had a way out, he called Li Jing'er reluctantly.
"Jing'er, don't you have a home to return to? You have children, what will happen if you stay outside for so long?"
Li Jing'er said aggrievedly, "Zhicheng, it's not that I don't want a child, it's my mom who insists that I change jobs, but I really can't find another one."
Lu Zhicheng comforted her a few more times and promised not to let her change jobs. Only then did Li Jing'er come back.
After this incident, Lu Ma and Lu Zhicheng no longer dared to complain to Li Jing'er.
Occasionally, when Lu Ma complained that she didn't cook, Li Jing'er would say, "I'm already exhausted from working to support the family every day. How can I have the time or mood to cook? Besides, Mom, didn't I just give you some money? You can order takeout."
Mother Lu complained in her heart that the money was not enough to order takeout every day, and she still had to play cards with her sisters.
But she said with a smile: "Jing'er is right. Okay, I definitely don't want Jing'er to cook. I was just saying that."
But Lu Ma's arthritis is getting worse. She often hugs her arms and complains, "I shouldn't have done so much housework when I was young. Now I'm old and sick."
Sometimes when Lu Zhicheng felt annoyed, he would go into the bedroom to check his phone.
Occasionally, work messages would pop up on his phone, but he had no desire to click on them.
Someone has to do the housework, so Lu Zhicheng was forced to start doing housework. After getting used to it, he could sometimes do it quite well by just watching the tutorial.
Only occasionally, when watching him cook, Lu Ma would sigh, "Alas, how can a grown man stay in the kitchen every day? It's not proper at all. Jing'er, really."
Lu Zhicheng thinks cooking is much more interesting than working.
At first, he would even tease: "Huh, isn't that what housework is like? I really don't know how Pei Anan used to complain every day."
But after two days, he started to get bored.
Lu Ma's arm hurt, so she asked Lu Zhicheng to cook, but he didn't want to move at all.
"Mom, I just finished doing the laundry. Let's order takeout today."
Lu Ma looked at the balance and felt sorry for her son. She felt bad for a grown man having to do laundry, so she said, "Okay, Zhicheng, take a look and order anything you like."
Lu Zhicheng skillfully ordered his favorite dishes, the fried chicken and pepper bullfrog, but the bill was almost a hundred yuan.
Mother Lu felt distressed: "It costs so much money just to eat this little."
Lu Zhicheng's mood sank and he suddenly lost the desire to eat.
He swallowed and looked at other shops.
But the more I look at it, the more I feel that this is expensive, and that is expensive too. Why didn’t I realize it before?
Lu Zhicheng's face darkened, and he put down his phone and went to the kitchen.
Mother Lu suddenly felt distressed: "It's all my fault for having such a useless body. Why do I get sick so easily?"
Lu Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Okay, Mom, stop talking, I have a headache."
Mother Lu felt distressed again, but she remained silent obediently.
Lu Zhicheng usually ignored the news about takeout red envelopes when he saw them on his phone, but recently he has been paying close attention to every one of them and even tried them.
But you can't order takeout all the time, so Lu Zhicheng inevitably learned how to buy groceries and cook.
When he was actually choosing things at the vegetable market, he realized why he hadn't thought of them as money before.
After finally buying the vegetables, Lu Zhicheng hurried home and started cooking, but he was still in a mess.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Jing'er sat down to eat, she complained that the food was overcooked and that there was too much salt.
