Chapter 37: Raising a wife does not mean sharing hardships



He had just moved into the new house and hadn't even packed up his things when he hurried away, leaving the entire house to Xia Zhichu.

I originally thought that she must be very busy having to work and take care of the family at the same time.

But seeing how neat and clean the house was, he seemed to have underestimated this woman's ability.

There is a set of couple's toiletries in the bathroom, and even the towels are couple's.

Si Mochen picked it up and took a look, and for some reason he felt very good.

After washing his hands, he wiped them clean and walked out. Xia Zhichu had already prepared the dishes and served him rice and soup.

Without waiting for him to ask, she took the initiative to talk about her plans for the next few days.

"Since you were away for a few days, I thought everything in our new home should be new, so I replaced the toiletries we used before and even bought new tableware. I also simply decorated the house. Take a look at it and see if there are any problems. If you don't like it, I'll decorate it differently."

Si Mochen glanced around. The house was originally decorated in European style, but after Xia Zhichu's renovation and the addition of novel decorations, it actually added a bit of home warmth.

She also placed some potted plants at home to absorb the smell in the air. No wonder he smelled a faint floral scent when he first entered the house.

"That's fine, just arrange it."

Si Mochen had no objection, but a sense of curiosity flashed through his mind.

His house has always been dominated by cool colors, so now that the style has changed, it is not so difficult to accept.

Xia Zhichu was very happy to hear him say this. She took out a dozen invoices and handed them to him. "These are all the recent expenses for the family. My salary hasn't been paid yet, so I used the card you gave me to pay for them. Here are the invoices for you to review."

Si Mochen was about to eat when he heard her words. He paused for a moment before looking up at her and saying, "No matter what you buy, you don't have to show it to me. This is our home. You can spend the money in the card however you want."

Originally, this card was given to her for living expenses, but this woman recorded every clause and amount clearly, and even asked him to check the account?

Si Mochen was extremely helpless.

This is really Xia Zhichu's style.

"That's impossible. You've just bought a house and it's bound to be stressful. You should only buy the necessities and not spend anything unnecessary. As for these bills, they're mainly for calculating our monthly expenses so we know exactly where our money goes."

Xia Zhichu has always had the habit of keeping accounts.

When I was in school, it was to ensure that my monthly expenses did not exceed the budget. After I got married, it was to let Shen Liang know the income and expenditure of every penny so that they would not accuse me of spending money recklessly.

Over time, this habit cannot be changed.

"Money is there as it's earned. You don't have to live too frugally. You still have to buy what you need. You don't have to save money for me. I don't support my wife by having to suffer with her."

His casual words struck Xia Zhichu's heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

She got the marriage certificate with Si Mochen out of impulse and revenge on Chen Liang, but during the time they spent together, she gradually discovered that Si Mochen was a very gentle and considerate man, even better than she had imagined.

This made Xia Zhichu suddenly feel anxious and worried.

She remembered what Chu Tiantian had said, and felt a little uneasy. If Si Mochen came from a wealthy family, would his parents be able to accept her?

"Si Mochen, I..." Xia Zhichu wanted to say that he wanted to meet his parents, but he felt a little timid in his heart, and finally swallowed the words back into his stomach.

She has nothing now, let's wait until she becomes a real designer.

By then, I can get closer to Si Mochen and won't always feel like I'm taking advantage of him.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Si Mochen could see that she was worried. It seemed that she was influenced by Chu Tiantian and felt that he was superior and therefore felt inferior?

"Nothing, let's eat." Xia Zhichu smiled at him.

Si Mochen didn't ask any more questions and just focused on eating.

After finishing the meal, Si Mochen wanted to collect the dishes and wash them, but Xia Zhichu stopped him, "You've been tired for several days, go and have a good rest first."

Si Mochen was about to say that he was not tired, but then he remembered that he had not sorted out his things yet, so he let her go and went back to his room to pack.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped into the room, the refreshing feeling in front of him made his eyes light up.

After buying the house, Xia Zhichu took the initiative to suggest that she live in the guest room and give the master bedroom to him.

After moving in, Xia Zhichu also took the initiative to live in the guest room.

But she actually helped to organize his things in an orderly manner.

Si Mochen never liked others touching her things, but at this moment, looking at the neatly made bed and the neatly arranged clothes in the closet, she felt a little complicated.

At this time, Xia Zhichu poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "You haven't been home for a few days. I was worried that you would need things suddenly and need to sort them out, so I took the initiative to help you clean up."

Si Mochen stood there motionless for a long time.

After a long time, he finally spoke, "Thank you Zhichu."

"Why thank you? We are husband and wife now. It's my duty to help you do this."

After Xia Zhichu finished speaking, she quickly went back into the kitchen to work, but her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Si Mochen returned to the sofa and sat down, then took out his computer and continued working.

After being busy for a while, he suddenly remembered Ji Jixiu and got up to go to Xia Zhichu's room.

Xia Zhichu had finished his work and returned to his room to continue preparing the manuscript for the quarterly show.

Not long after she sat down, there was a knock on the door. She knew it was Si Mochen, so she let him in directly.

Si Mochen pushed the door open and walked in, leaning lazily against the wall. He didn't come in, but said calmly, "I heard that Peak Group seems to be preparing for some kind of seasonal fashion competition. Are you participating?"

Xia Zhichu nodded, feeling somewhat surprised. She didn't expect Si Mochen to pay attention to her company's affairs.

"I've been preparing a design draft recently, but after reading a lot of information, I still don't have any design inspiration."

She was slightly angry.

She retrieved all the information herself on the company's intranet. During all the days she worked there, apart from doing some odd jobs and errands, the manager didn't ask anyone to take her with him, nor did he provide her with any information.

She was like a weed growing in a corner, relying only on her own abilities to survive.

Si Mochen asked casually, "Doesn't the design department have works from previous quarterly shows that you can refer to?"

Xia Zhichu shook his head and said, "I can't get it. These files are all encrypted. I only have a superficial understanding of the internal network."

Si Mochen narrowed his eyes.

When the Recruitment Department hired Xia Zhichu, it was to let her join the Design Department as a designer. Logically, the superiors should provide the newcomer with the historical information of the Design Department.

As a result, Xia Zhichu didn't know anything and just participated in the quarterly show so carelessly?

It seems that Xia Zhichu still endured the rejection of his colleagues.

He should have thought about it. When Xia Zhichu ran out in the middle of the day to help her colleagues bring lunch, she was clearly bullied. He just wanted to solve her three meals a day problem and completely ignored whether she could gain a foothold in this environment.

"How about this, I know someone at Peak Group, I'll ask him to try to get some information for you."

As he spoke, he took his cell phone and turned away, going to the balcony to make a call.
