She's been suffering for so many days!
I just came back a little late today; I didn't go out to play.
"Hmph! I'm going to buy things for the two kids."
"I also bought some meat and vegetables."
In a fit of anger, she threw the things she was holding at Peng Li.
Peng Li laughed heartily; he hadn't thought that much about it.
She thought he was just being a little temperamental.
He's been so busy these past few days, he'll make it up to her tonight.
Peng Li looked at the things in his hand and gave the two toys to the two children.
"Peng Fei, Peng Xuan, these are things your mother bought for you."
Do you like it?
Peng Fei shook his head: "I don't like it! I'm a grown-up now, how could I still like things that kids play with?"
Meng Zhenzhen swallowed back the words she was about to say to please him.
If you don't like it, then forget it.
If things get really bad, I'll just stop buying it for him.
Peng Li smiled and said, "Take this, your mom bought it for you."
Peng Fei rolled his eyes: "I don't have a mother! My mother is dead!"
Peng Li's face also looked a little pale, but when he thought about how his two children had suffered without their mother's care, he realized they were also going through a difficult time.
His tone softened.
"Take this first, and Dad will buy you what you want another day."
Peng Fei looked at Meng Zhenzhen with a smug expression.
Meng Zhenzhen was a little annoyed and refused to cook.
I went straight back to my bedroom.
Seeing that she seemed a little angry, Peng Li followed her inside.
"Zhenzhen, what's wrong? Did the child misbehave and make you angry?"
Meng Zhenzhen didn't want to cry, but after hearing what he said, tears started falling down her face.
"Peng Li, what did you promise me back then?"
"Look how these two kids are treating me now?"
“I tried my best to please them, but they wouldn’t give me any face at all.”
“A couple of days ago, I was cooking when I heard the two of them and the old woman in the yard talking badly about me from a distance.”
“I work hard every day at noon to cook for them, and I can’t come back even a little late.”
“I’m not a housewife, I have a job too.”
"You made such a promise back then, what kind of life am I living now?"
"I thought I'd get along well with them and buy them a toy, but they didn't like it."
"If it weren't for you, would I have gone to such lengths?"
She finished speaking in one breath, and Peng Li sighed.
He took Meng Zhenzhen's hand and coaxed her, "Zhenzhen, don't be angry. It's my fault for not raising them well."
"But those two lost their mother at a very young age, and they relied entirely on me."
"I don't have time to deal with them either."
"I'll talk to them properly later. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer because of me."
Meng Zhenzhen thought of the old women she had seen at Yun Ningyan's house that day.
She cried and said, "Peng Li, I'm not good at cooking, and I usually try not to cook when I'm alone."
"Neither of them likes my cooking."
"How about we ask our housekeeper to help with the cooking?"
Peng Li......!
"No! Even though I'm the factory manager now, I can't go too far."
"Look around this compound, who here uses a maid?"
"Let's wait a bit longer! Not now."
"If you don't come back by noon..."
"If all else fails, let them eat at Aunt Zhang's house next door."
"She stays at home and cooks for her children."
“We’ll give her some living expenses so she can do more.”
Meng Zhenzhen nodded: "Okay, then you cook tonight, and I'll help you."
The two of them came out of the bedroom hand in hand.
Peng Fei rolled his eyes.
vixen!
Did she really coax her dad into going to cook?
He heard everything from outside.
This woman is no ordinary person!
His dad actually went to cook.
This woman is really good at sweet-talking.
Peng Li can also cook, and Meng Zhenzhen helps him.
For a family of four, three dishes and a soup were quickly prepared.
This time, Peng Fei didn't cause any trouble and ate his fill.
"Dad's cooking is still the best!"
Peng Li nodded, feeling quite gratified.
"Your mother and I have discussed it. Neither of us can come back for lunch. From now on, you can have lunch at Aunt Zhang's house. How about that?"
Peng Fei didn't want to agree, nor did he want to eat at someone else's house.
"I'm not going, her cooking is awful!"
"Before you got married, you invited the two of us to eat there. Now that you're married, you still invite us."
"What will people say about you? They'll think you married a wife who doesn't even cook for the kids."
"Then why did you marry her? Just to spend money on her?"
"Look at her, and look at your nice clothes."
"My sister and I are still wearing last year's clothes!"
"She can't just spend money without contributing anything in return!"
"Then you might as well not look for her at all."
Peng Li looked at Meng Zhenzhen's little leather shoes and dress; they were all nice things.
It's definitely not cheap.
But his salary was already high.
This is something we can afford to support.
He suddenly realized that his son was right.
The original purpose of marrying a wife was to take care of two children.
If you can't even take care of two children now, what's the point of marrying her?
His gaze gradually turned cold, and Meng Zhenzhen felt a chill run down her spine.
"Honey, I'm really bad at cooking."
"They don't like it either."
Peng Fei: "Whether we like it or not is our business?"
Whether you cook or not is your business!
Peng Li: "Then why don't you do the hard work?"
