After nearly a month of getting along, Ali stopped taking care of the household affairs and would sometimes ask Wei Qin if the family shop was losing money.
Wei Qin would always say, "Don't worry, the shop is running very well. You can stay home and grow flowers and raise birds with peace of mind."
Ah Li said with relief, "That's good, otherwise I would have been very anxious."
Actually, Ah Li had considered that if the shop didn't do well, she could do other things to make a living. At worst, she had the gold and silver she collected from each world in her system space, so she and Wei Qin wouldn't starve.
However, Wei Qin was simply too capable.
She's busy in the shop every day, but she also manages to come back and prepare three meals a day for Ali.
Sometimes Ah Li would prepare in advance, and Wei Qin would get upset, saying, "Does my wife think my cooking is bad?"
Ahri would always coax people, saying, "No, I just saw that you've been very busy lately, and I wanted you to have a hot meal when you come back."
Wei Qin smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I'm willing to do anything for my wife."
In a matriarchal society, if a woman stays at home idle and does nothing of substance, while the men go out to earn a living and support the whole family, that woman will be despised and called a lazy woman.
Today, the sun was shining brightly, so Ah Li took his fishing rod and went fishing in the pond in the yard.
But just as Ah Li cast his fishing rod into the pond, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard.
The courtyard gate was usually unlocked because Wei Qin would come back several times a day.
Ah Li was still wondering who it was when she saw Le You push open the door and come in, saying, "My dear big sister, you still have the mind to go fishing?"
Ah Li glanced at Le You and said, "You don't come here unless you have something to say. Just say it."
Leyou snorted and said, "If you don't go out and take a look, Wei Qin will find another job, and you'll just have to wait to starve to death."
Ah Li held the fishing rod and heard Le You say that Wei Qin had been busy at the shop lately.
Because the shop has a new owner, the customer base is not very stable.
Wei Qin was once a famous handsome man in Zhuque City, with many suitors.
However, after learning that he had married, many women who admired him were heartbroken.
Later, when they learned that he was still doing business in public every day after getting married, the women who admired Wei Qin felt indignant on his behalf.
Many people also say that Wei Qin married the wrong person, never enjoyed any happiness, and even had to support his wife.
Ahri picked up the fishing rod, but seeing that the bait was still there, she put it down again.
Leyou's mouth was dry from talking. Seeing that Ah Li didn't seem angry at all, he said, "You didn't react at all to all this?"
Ah Li smiled and said, "Wei Qin has the ability to do business. I don't want to bury his talent. I'm not like other women who want to confine their husbands to a small courtyard."
From the very beginning, when the original owner met Wei Qin, she was touched by his genuine nature.
No one dictates what anyone should or cannot do.
If the Wei family can let Wei Qin work in their own shop, why can't she?
Leyou muttered to herself, "So, no wonder Wei Qin keeps thinking about you."
In matriarchal societies, few women are willing to see their husbands more capable than themselves; they prefer their husbands to be subservient to them and to treat them as superiors.
What Ah Li didn't mention was that, after spending this time together, she could sense that as long as she didn't run away or go home, Wei Qin was actually very easy to talk to.
However, if she showed even the slightest sign of wanting to go out and meet those shady friends, Wei Qin would be very unhappy.
Ah Li was a little afraid to guess what Wei Qin might do if he was unhappy.
Anyway, the result is definitely not good.
Because of Ah Li's words, Leyou sat there for a while with a heavy heart before leaving.
When Wei Qin returned, Ali hadn't caught any fish. Instead, he was lying on a deck chair, squinting.
Wei Qin walked over quietly, picked up the fishing rod, and looked at the bucket next to him, only to find that there were no fish in it.
Ahri tried to open her eyes, but she felt her hand being held.
Wei Qin thought Ah Li was asleep. He took Ah Li's hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it gently. He said, "I know that Le You came to see you today. I also know what you said to him."
Ahri didn't move or open her eyes, continuing to feign sleep.
Wei Qin was always restrained and polite. Even when the two were in the same room at night, they kept a clear boundary and neither of them crossed it.
Today, Wei Qin suddenly kissed her hand, which was something Ah Li hadn't expected.
Wei Qin placed Ah Li's hand near his cheek, stroking it affectionately twice, and said, "It's been so long, I know you must be bored, but I don't want another person between us, not even a servant."
Ah Li was just thinking how smooth this person's face was when she heard this sentence, and her heart skipped a beat. Wei Qin usually kept a low profile and was hard to figure out, so why did his words sound so awkward today?
Could it be that he really is the one who has turned evil?
Ahri also had her doubts, because the "darkening value" statistic remained stable on her first day there, but then dropped day by day.
On her wedding day, her income dropped by 10%, but when she slept alone until dawn, it rose by 10%.
Ah Li was wondering what was going on and even suspected that Wei Qin's mood was the key factor.
After a period of repeated testing, it is now maintained at around 60%.
Ah Li pretended to move her fingers, and then opened her eyes in a daze as if she had just woken up. She saw Wei Qin calmly stand up and say, "If my wife is sleepy, she can go back to her room to sleep."
Ahri raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, saying, "You're back. I didn't catch any fish, so I took a nap, but I ended up falling asleep."
Wei Qin said, "What would you like to eat, my lady? I'll take you out to eat today."
Ahri looked at the sun outside and said, "Great, it's been a long time since I've been out."
Wei Qin's smile faltered slightly, but Ah Li pretended not to notice and said, "I'll go change my clothes first, and then I'll go out."
"Why does my wife need to change her clothes?" Wei Qin asked, noticing that there was nothing wrong with what Ah Li was wearing.
Ahri said, "Going out and staying at home should be different."
Wei Qin remained silent, standing there quietly.
Ahri looked back and could almost see the resentment floating around him.
Soon, Ah Li changed into a black outfit, tied her hair in a neat ponytail, and said to Wei Qin, "Let's go."
However, just as Ahri arrived at the restaurant entrance, someone suddenly ran towards her.
Wei Qin pulled Ah Li to his side, and Ah Li leaned against Wei Qin.
The man who ran towards Ali was holding a child's hand. With tears in his eyes, he knelt down before Ali and said, "Mother of my child, you can't abandon me and my child!"
