"All day long, she's too lazy to even have maggots, does nothing but wander around, doesn't act like a mother at all, and still thinks she's an unmarried young woman," Zhao's mother's voice came, and Zhao Xiaochuan irritably pulled the blanket over his head.
"Where has your wife been? She's useless at home. You married her like she's an ancestor, and you have to treat her like royalty every day!" Zhao's mother cursed from outside, then came inside and pulled back Zhao Xiaochuan's blanket.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhao Xiaochuan sat up impatiently.
“I’m asking you, what has your wife been doing all day? She doesn’t cook, doesn’t clean, doesn’t wash clothes, doesn’t take care of the kids, and doesn’t do any housework. Who do we rely on? I’m exhausted every day, and you don’t even care about me,” Zhao’s mother complained.
“You did all this work before my wife was born. You just can’t stand seeing her idle. I suggested we separate the household, but you wouldn’t agree. Now you’re complaining about being tired.”
Zhao Xiaochuan recalled what his third brother had said, and it was exactly the same.
"What? Does separating the family mean there won't be any more chores? Does she stop doing anything if we don't separate? Are you threatening me with separating the family? Am I wrong for working myself to the bone to serve you? I don't expect anything without your wife, but if she's here, I'll have to do it!"
Seeing his mother starting to act unreasonably again, Zhao Xiaochuan rubbed his head in frustration. "Mom, if you don't want to do it, then don't. Nobody is forcing you to do it. If you do it, you complain and can't stand seeing my wife idle. If you don't want to do it, can't we just hire someone? It's not like we don't have the means."
"You really have money to burn. What's the point of keeping it if the family members are just sitting around doing nothing?" Zhao's mother scolded, hands on her hips.
"You just can't stand seeing my wife idle. You'll stop once you've made me divorce you," Zhao Xiaochuan said as he put on his clothes and went to wash up.
"What do you mean, Zhao Xiaochuan? When did I interfere with your affairs? Your wife is idle all day long, what's wrong with asking her to do some work? Does that make me interfere? Whose wife doesn't do chores? Is your wife so special that I deserve to die?" Zhao's mother was also furious when she heard her son say that to her.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I've already said, if you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Can you stop staring at her all the time? I haven't done any housework, and neither has my dad. Why are you always watching her?"
"You're all grown men, the housework should be done by women. If you do everything, what's the point of getting married?"
Zhao Xiaochuan didn't want to argue, so he didn't even wash his face and went straight out the door.
“Look at you, look at you! I said a few words to your wife and she gave me the cold shoulder. I’m such a sinner for giving birth to such a thing. I work myself to the bone every day. Who am I doing this for? Isn’t it all for your sake?” Zhao’s mother stood in the yard and kept venting.
Zhao Xiaochuan could still hear it from a long distance away, and he felt increasingly irritated.
Zhao's father, not wanting to listen to his wife's nagging, put his hands behind his back, picked up a walnut, and went out.
"I really owe you all this day. I'm not doing this anymore, let whoever wants to do it do it!" Zhao's mother got angry and went into her room to sulk.
Seeing that no one was taking him to school, Zhao Zishuo went to watch TV by himself.
Zhao Xiaochuan went to the shop for a stroll, and since he had nothing else to do, he went fishing in the park.
I received a call from Xie Dan at noon. Xie Dan asked me to go to the hospital, and then hung up without saying anything else.
Zhao Xiaochuan quickly drove to the hospital and found Xie Dan in the gynecology clinic.
Xie Dan sat in the corridor, her eyes red.
"What's going on? Is she pregnant again?" Zhao Xiaochuan's first thought was that she was pregnant.
Xie Dan handed the medical records in her hand to Zhao Xiaochuan, saying, "I have a lump in my breast, and I need to do a biopsy. It could be cancer."
Xie Dan covered her face and began to sob.
Zhao Xiaochuan was completely dumbfounded. "How could this be? It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Honey, don't be afraid, it's impossible. How could you have cancer?"
Zhao Xiaochuan kept saying it was impossible; his wife was so young, it was impossible for her to have cancer.
