On Jiang Meimei's first day back at work, Sun Lifang got up early to take her daughter to school with Zhou Yunshi.
After dropping Zhou Xinya off, Sun Lifang returned to wait for Jiang Meimei.
Well, she was really curious about how Li Zhi had won her over.
Li Zhi couldn't say sweet words, so what did he do to make Jiang Meimei radiant?
"Madam, you're such a gossip." Jiang Meimei bypassed Sun Lifang and went to the balcony to hang things out to dry, changing the subject. "How did you spend the two days I was away?"
Sun Lifang gave her a "don't bother me" look.
Do you think I'm so easily fooled by a diversionary tactic?
Sun Lifang continued to probe indirectly, "So, when are you planning to have a second child?"
Does this mean we should start working hard now?
"Madam~" Jiang Meimei lowered her head shyly and ran away like a quail.
Hey, looks like there's potential.
On the first day of Jiang Meimei's rest, Sun Lifang called Li Zhi's home, but Zhao Faxia answered.
The old man chuckled and said, "Our Dazhi won't hit anyone, ma'am, you can rest assured."
"Dazhi told me that I should use love to influence my wife."
Love? Transformation?
When did Li Zhi become such a devoted and filial man?
Sun Lifang didn't know, but when the deliveryman from the vegetable market knocked on the door, she understood everything—
"Jiang Meimei, come out here right now—"
Sun Lifang gritted her teeth as she looked at a bag full of forty or fifty oysters and a basket of chives, then turned and placed her hands on Jiang Meimei's shoulders as if to strangle her.
"Come on, explain to me what's going on?"
Forty or fifty oysters in their shells were quite heavy, so Jiang Meimei took out a plastic bucket to scoop them up and drag them in, preventing the mud and sand from leaking out.
After finishing tidying up, he said, "Didn't we say we were going to make steamed buns? So I ordered a little extra chives."
OK, no problem, chives are fine.
Why did you order so many oysters?
As if she had thought of something, Sun Lifang looked at someone meaningfully, and couldn't help but suppress a laugh as she asked Jiang Meimei, "Is this how your Li Zhi influenced you?"
Three pounds of chives and five dozen oysters—the more she thought about it, the funnier it became. Sun Lifang could almost picture Li Zhi's dark expression.
Jiang Meimei murmured softly, "My mother-in-law asked me to buy it. I'll share some with you."
"Hey, no." Sun Lifang shook her head with a smile and said, "My family doesn't need it, but yours does."
It was a double entendre, but poor Jiang Meimei was too clueless to understand, only knowing that her wife was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her.
But Sun Lifang meant something else entirely, and only after realizing it did he understand that he was making a dirty joke at her.
Hmph, they're all taking advantage of her being shy and naive—
Everyone plays word games with her, including Li Zhi.
He clearly said, "I'm not angry. Why should I be? Let's finish today's work today. It's not worth ruining my health by getting angry—"
I promised myself I wouldn't go to sleep with negative emotions, but I'm torturing myself instead.
"I'm not acting emotionally because I'm going to take care of you today."
Jiang Meimei was on a two-day vacation. The first night was fine, but by the end of the second day, she felt like her back was about to fall apart. She put on her slippers and prepared to go out to find help, only to discover—
The mother-in-law actually took her grandson to visit relatives and didn't show up for a whole day.
Only the food on the table was still hot.
What's this called in mythology again?
The Snail Maiden, or rather, the Snail Granny.
Not only did she eat all her meals indoors, but Jiang Meimei felt like she was on the verge of death.
Even at this critical moment, Li Zhi did not forget to "interrogate and force a confession" from her.
"Is that kid surnamed Chen richer or stronger than me?"
"explain."
"Ah, be gentle—"
From Jiang Meimei's perspective, she could see the man's chocolate-colored abs, with tiny beads of sweat glistening on each muscle.
Well, how should I put it?
If we're really comparing, they speak gently and tactfully, with refined manners, unlike you who are so blunt and straightforward.
But Jiang Meimei dared not say this, because she soon experienced the bitterness of "word games".
That afternoon, my mother-in-law bought chives and oysters, and also cooked some kind of nourishing soup for them.
Jiang Meimei immediately sensed something was wrong and told Li Zhi not to drink it.
But the man wouldn't listen to her. He just said, "It's all the old folks' good intentions. Don't worry, it won't be wasted. I'll drink it, but you can't. Don't look so gloomy."
Oh dear, Jiang Meimei wasn't just worried about wasting money, she was clearly...
It's as if he suffered some great hardship, but in the end, he's the one who's exhausted!
Jiang Meimei grew angrier the more she thought about it. She kicked Li Zhi under the table once, and was about to kick him a second time when the man reached out and grabbed her ankle.
Rough, large hands caressed the exposed protrusions, and with a flick of the index finger, a jolt of electricity shot up from the soles of the feet.
She couldn't pull it back, and she couldn't let her mother-in-law find out.
Jiang Meimei frowned as she watched the man slowly and methodically take a spoon and drink the soup.
You bastard! You usually drink from a bowl, are you deliberately being difficult by using a small spoon?
Jiang Meimei couldn't hold back any longer, so she deliberately made an excuse to complain to her mother-in-law, "Mom, look at Li Zhi—"
As soon as she finished speaking, her calf was freed, and Jiang Meimei accused Li Zhian of disobeying his elders and "still being angry."
Zhao Faxia immediately asked her son, Li Zhi, who replied, "I'm not angry."
After saying that, the man's gaze swept over the various "delicacies" on the table, and he smiled, saying, "Three pounds of chives, five dozen oysters, and a nourishing tonic soup—"
"Take good care of yourself, and I will use my love to touch you."
