Pei Qinghuan cleaned up the dishes when his cell phone rang. It was a text message from his sister.
She took a quick look and rode her electric scooter to the downstairs of her sister's Xinhai community.
Xinhai Community is more upscale than their Shengxin Community and uses an elevator. She had just pressed the elevator door button when Pei Anan just came out.
"An An, what's wrong?"
Pei Qinghuan frowned, and Pei Anan held Pei Qinghuan's hand in a low voice, "Sister, don't go upstairs, I, we can just talk for a while in the garden downstairs."
Seeing Pei Qinghuan looking at her, she rubbed her hands embarrassedly and said, "My mother-in-law just lost her temper, so I came down. I was afraid that if I saw my sister, she would say something unpleasant."
Pei Qinghuan was puzzled. "Why is your mother-in-law angry again? Wasn't she fine yesterday?"
"I had almost spent all the money on my card, so I asked Zhicheng to get some money to buy groceries, but my mother-in-law saw me."
Pei Anan lowered her head, "She said that I only knew how to ask Zhicheng for money all day long, saying that Zhicheng spoiled me too much and gave me too much money. But after all these years of marriage, I only asked Zhicheng for money this year and gave him a few hundred yuan from time to time. Before that, my mother secretly subsidized me..."
Pei Qinghuan frowned, "So, Lu Zhicheng didn't give you any salary before?"
Pei Anan shook her head. "You know, although Zhicheng works in a small company, he said that men need to entertain and eat outside, so they can't be without money. I didn't dare to ask him for money. Before, my mother secretly gave me money so that I could hold on..."
Pei Qinghuan was a little annoyed, "An An!"
"When Lu Zhicheng asked you to resign, wasn't he just making nice promises? He asked you to resign, but he refused to pay you a cent. Is he going to force you to take care of the housework and go out to work at the same time?"
Pei Anan defended herself, "That's not the case, sister. You misunderstood. Zhicheng's work was improving at that time, and he wanted me to take a break and not be so tired, so he said that. He felt sorry for me, so he asked me to resign and said he would support me."
Pei Anan insisted, and Pei Qinghuan became even more annoyed.
Her younger sister was working well in a big company two years ago. Later, Lu Zhicheng said that his younger sister was working too hard and he could support her, so he let his younger sister take care of the housework at home.
"An An, let me tell you, this is what Lu Zhicheng said at the beginning. Come on, I'll take you upstairs to ask for an explanation."
Pei Anan's face was a little pale. "No, no, sister, mother-in-law is still upstairs, you have a bad temper, and mother-in-law...if there is a quarrel later, what should Zhicheng and I do?"
She took a deep breath and mustered up her courage. "Sister, I called you here because I wanted to discuss something with you. I want to go out and work again so that I can supplement the family income. I can't let the Lu family look down on me."
Pei Qinghuan's eyes were a little moist, and she looked at her naive sister.
"It's a good idea, but you must make it clear to Lu Zhicheng that since you're also going out to work, you should each do half of the housework."
Pei Qinghuan's voice was firm, "Do you understand?"
Pei Anan hesitated and said nothing. Pei Qinghuan got angry again when he saw this, "Anan!"
"I, I understand."
Pei Qinghuan was still worried and wanted to say a few more words, but Lu Zhicheng also followed her out of the elevator.
When he saw Pei Qinghuan, Lu Zhicheng frowned.
"An An, why is your sister here again? She comes to see you every few days, as if I'm bullying you."
Lu Zhicheng half-jokingly stepped forward and hugged Pei Anan.
"An An, Mom said you came down to slack off on purpose. I said our An An isn't that kind of person. You must have been delayed somewhere. I felt sorry for you, so I came down. I didn't expect you to meet your sister. I wouldn't stop you from meeting, so why did you hide in the garden to chat secretly?"
Pei Anan whispered, "I'm afraid my sister and mother-in-law will quarrel. This is what I think, Zhicheng, should I go back to work?"
