"You're making it sound like you're not being respected?" Shen Qiaoyue looked at Jiang Jinyao, who was actually full of energy every day. It was just that with the New Year approaching, Jiang Jinyao wanted to go back to the city of Beijing, but she also wanted to stay here with An Lude. After all, the two had been separated for more than a year, and it was normal for them to want to spend time together properly.
"I was just stating the facts, not saying I wasn't respected." Jiang Jinyao was too full and sleepy, and suddenly felt like sleeping. She spoke weakly and listlessly.
"Alright then, are you going to the city tomorrow?" Shen Qiaoyue asked Jiang Jinyao again.
"Okay, let's go." Jiang Jinyao was too sleepy. She stood up and nodded, agreeing to go to the city together tomorrow. She rubbed her eyes and said, "I can't go on. I'm too sleepy. I want to go back and rest early."
"Alright, go ahead then. Get some rest when you get back. See you tomorrow." Seeing that Jiang Jinyao was trembling as she stood up, Shen Qiaoyue reached out to support her with concern.
"Anlude, I'm sleepy, let's go back." Jiang Jinyao had been busy all day, so it was normal for her to want to sleep after eating.
Hearing his wife calling him, Anlude quickly came out of the kitchen.
"Let's go, I'll help you." An Lude opened his umbrella and helped Jiang Jinyao back.
Liu Xinlan also stood up and said, "Then you should get some rest tonight. After we have breakfast tomorrow morning, we'll go into town together to buy things for the New Year. I'm planning to buy a pom-pom and knit a sweater on the train to pass the time."
"Time really flies! You've already learned to knit sweaters!" Before, Liu Xinlan only knew how to treat patients and rarely cooked, so she wasn't very skilled at it. But she's changed a lot since she got married.
Liu Xinlan smiled but remained silent.
He gently patted Shen Qiaoyue's shoulder, then walked out of the living room.
"Xu Qianli, let's go back."
"They're here."
Xu Qianli opened the umbrella and left Lu Chen's house with Liu Xinlan.
"Wife, do you want to take a bath now?" Lu Chen came out of the kitchen and asked Shen Qiaoyue.
"wash."
After taking a shower, Shen Qiaoyue lay on the bed in a daze until Lu Chen came in and asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
"I wasn't thinking about anything in particular, I was just wondering, can marriage really change a person's life?"
Today, Shen Qiaoyue thought of what Liu Xinlan had told Jiang Jinyao.
Looking back on Xia Xiaoli's lifestyle and daily interactions over the past year.
She is poised, confident, and beautiful. Is this really something she developed after getting married? Actually, Xia Xiaoli was also developing in a positive direction before marriage.
“Not necessarily. Life is in your own hands. Didn’t you say that before?” Lu Chen lay down, earnestly responding to every word Shen Qiaoyue said.
"Yes, fate is determined by oneself." Xia Xiaoli has taken control of her own destiny and lives a happy and fulfilling life. Why say that she married well, rather than that she was good to begin with?
Shen Qiaoyue turned to look at Lu Chen and asked, "Everyone says I married well, that you're a man who knows how to cherish his wife!"
"Don't listen to their nonsense, I married well." Lu Chen pulled Shen Qiaoyue into his arms. "For a lousy man like me to marry such a beautiful wife is the greatest blessing in three lifetimes. What do you mean by 'married well'? If it weren't for you managing this family, how could my sister have escaped that family? How could I have such a happy home and two such lovely children?"
In Lu Chen's heart, he was lucky. He was a young man who had nothing, but after marrying a city girl, he suddenly had everything.
“It’s because my wife knows how to train people. Wife, you don’t need to care what others say. In my heart, you are the one who has contributed the most to this family.” Lu Chen knew that Shen Qiaoyue had a hard time on her own and had sacrificed a lot for this family.
Shen Qiaoyue was already satisfied that Lu Chen at least understood her.
Leaning against Lu Chen's chest, Shen Qiaoyue was always filled with emotion!
"Lu Chen, I really don't know what I would do without you!" She couldn't let go of the pain from her past life. After death, she lingered by Lu Chen's side. Seeing Lu Chen's love for her, Shen Qiaoyue felt guilty and remorseful.
"What should I do? Maybe you can find a better man than me and you won't have to suffer so much!" Lu Chen felt increasingly bitter as he thought about how much suffering Shen Qiaoyue had endured for him.
Shen Qiaoyue leaned against Lu Chen's chest, her eyes slowly reddening.
"No, I'll never meet someone as outstanding as you again!"
In Shen Qiaoyue's heart, Lu Chen was the best person.
Lu Chen stroked Shen Qiaoyue's head and said, "Wife, actually I should thank you more. I am not a very gentle or good man. It is your appearance that has made me a good person in the eyes of others. Since becoming your husband, I have worked hard to learn and try to become the kind of person you like. Gradually, I have become more outstanding and understand more that women suffer the most in marriage."
Lu Chen was the one who benefited the most from this marriage.
"When you were pregnant for ten months, you couldn't sleep at all. In the army, people thought that pregnant women were troublesome, emotionally unstable, and needed to be taken care of like queens. They always brought up the baby! If I hadn't seen you suffer so much, I might have believed what those men said for the rest of my life. When we're together, we learn to respect each other and grow together. Everyone says I'm good to my wife, and I'll tell them that my wife is good to me too."
As Lu Chen spoke, he looked down at Shen Qiaoyue.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Shen Qiaoyue felt that her efforts were worthwhile.
She hated herself even more, wondering why she couldn't see Lu Chen's good qualities in her past life and caused the deaths of so many people.
"Mmm! Actually, you don't need to change for me, because I like you the way you are." Shen Qiaoyue felt happy, but also sad, and guilty.
Lu Chen's changes for her were visible to Shen Qiaoyue.
"Why are you crying? Let's be understanding of each other and share everything in this family. That's how this family can go the distance. You'll be responsible for educating the children, and I'll be responsible for handling the daily chores, washing clothes, sweeping, and doing housework. I'll also cook for you when I have free time." Although Lu Chen's cooking isn't very good, he will try his best to learn.
Shen Qiaoyue looked up at Lu Chen and said, "I'm not responsible for educating the child. The child's learning problem is a big problem. It's easy to get angry and upset if I don't teach him well. You should do it! You are the leader, you can definitely teach the child well."
“You’ve read more books than me, so why aren’t you the one teaching the child?” Lu Chen felt that his wife was the best person to teach the child’s studies.
Shen Qiaoyue shook her head and said, "I won't teach. You don't know how tiring it is to teach a child. My sister once brought a child home to tutor her, and she asked me to help watch the child for a while. I didn't understand anything she said, and I was almost driven crazy. I'm not teaching!"
Lu Chen could tell that Shen Qiaoyue was resisting.
"Alright then, I'll reluctantly agree," Lu Chen said jokingly.
"What do you mean by 'reluctantly'?" Shen Qiaoyue said sternly to Lu Chen, "Let me tell you, this is your job, these are your children, and you call that 'reluctantly'!"
Seeing the stern Shen Qiaoyue scolding him, Lu Chen smiled happily and flipped over to pin Shen Qiaoyue beneath him.
