Chapter 15 Not all men are good husbands
The elevator doors opened, and Mu Yin turned and went to his office.
Ye Xiu took the bottle Mu Yin handed him and clicked his tongue softly.
"Tsk, Mr. Mu and his wife have only just gotten married, and he's already thinking of her in everything. Waaah, our Mr. Mu is truly a rare find..."
Little did Song Chi know that while she was doing handicrafts at home one afternoon, Mu Yin was learning to drive a tricycle in the garden behind the Mu Group, and he learned very quickly!
Around 5 p.m.
The door opened, and Mu Yin returned home.
Song Chi greeted him with a smile: "Uncle, you're back?"
"Um."
Have you had dinner?
"I've already eaten. What about you?"
“I’ve already eaten. You just got off work, you must be tired after a long day. You should rest for a bit while I carry these things downstairs.”
Song Chi knew that office workers were very tired from their daily work, so he considerately told him to go and rest.
Seeing that she was about to move her things and hadn't even taken off her coat yet, Mu Yin quickly said...
"Song Chi, go and rest. I'll carry these downstairs!"
Feeling a warm current flow through Song Chi's heart at his concern.
"Uncle, it's okay, I can do it myself."
Mu Yin frowned slightly, his expression somewhat serious.
"Song Chi, have you forgotten you're pregnant? From now on, I'll do all the heavy chores around the house! You should go and rest!"
As he spoke, he had already started moving things.
He believes that regardless of whether his wife is pregnant or not, helping her move things and doing housework are things a husband should do.
Looking around, Mu Yin saw that every piece of jewelry Song Chi had made today was exceptionally well-designed.
A look of amazement flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, he felt a greater appreciation for Song Chi.
He picked up the goods, turned around, and left.
Song Chi: "..."
She stared blankly at his retreating figure, lost in thought.
Mu Yin's considerate care warmed her heart.
However, she remembered what the uncle said that night, that he would not love her, so he must love Luo Wanwan very much!
Perhaps, the older man was only kind to her because he cared about the baby in her belly!
For a moment, she felt a pang of sadness.
Song Chi wasn't the type of woman who liked to overthink things. She quickly took a few deep breaths and composed herself.
While Mu Yin was moving goods, she tidied up the trash at home, preparing to take it out to throw it away.
She had just reached the door when the door next door opened.
A woman with a slightly protruding belly came out of the house, carrying a large bag of garbage in her hand, which she seemed to be carrying with great difficulty.
The two people's eyes met unintentionally.
The two were neighbors, and out of politeness, they nodded and smiled at each other as a greeting.
Song Chi closed the door and walked towards the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, she heard the woman next door shout.
"Honey, I'm pregnant. This trash is too heavy for me to carry. Stop playing games and help me throw it down!"
A man's voice came from inside the house—
"I'm playing games, what are you nagging about while taking out the trash? You're not eating dinner tonight!"
Immediately afterwards, a sharp and sarcastic voice came from inside.
"That lazy woman, she thinks she can sit at the table and eat? She should just go hungry and learn her lesson, then she won't eat leftovers anymore!"
"What are you still standing there for? Go take out the trash, and when you come back, wash my and Dongzi's clothes. Don't be lazy and put them in the washing machine, you have to hand wash them all..."
"Also, my back is hurting again. Come over and give me a massage as soon as you finish washing the clothes!"
"How...how could you treat me like this..."
The woman's voice trembled, as if she was about to cry.
"Mom, I'm pregnant now. Doing heavy work will affect the fetus. You want me to eat leftovers? Aren't you worried that the baby won't get enough nutrition? That's your family's offspring!"
"Haha, what are you being so delicate about? Back when there was a famine, I was pregnant with Dongzi. Not only did I have to work in the fields and do all the housework, but I also had to take care of two paralyzed elderly people and two babies crying for milk. I also had to carry vegetables out to sell!"
"When I was pregnant with Dongzi, I was eating leftovers, and Dongzi is still strong and healthy now!"
"Look at you, you're only three months pregnant and you're not even working anymore. It's just that I'm asking you to do some housework. It's much easier than what I had back then. Why are you crying like that..."
"You're bullying me... If I had known you were this kind of people, I shouldn't have married you in the first place..."
"You're incredibly lucky to have married Dongzi. You're only asking me to do some housework, what's with the complaints! Don't be ungrateful, stop standing there like an idiot, get to work!"
Hearing these words from a distance, Song Chi frowned slightly, finding the old woman's words quite sharp, mean, and harsh.
At that moment, the elevator opened.
She took a step and looked toward the woman.
She covered her mouth and cried silently, tears streaming down her face; she looked extremely pitiful.
Song Chi: "..."
She felt a little guilty, but it was someone else's business, and she shouldn't interfere.
She sighed and entered the elevator.
The elevator slowly descended.
Song Chi couldn't help but let his mind wander.
It turns out that not all husbands are like the older man, willing to help her with housework.
Her current impression of the older man is that he is a responsible and capable outstanding man.
Marrying her, regardless of whether they love each other or not, is the greatest blessing of her life...
But... the uncle has someone else in his heart.
Song Chi looked down at his flat stomach.
They'll probably get a divorce after the baby is born, right?
Suddenly, she felt a pang of unease.
Moreover, marriage is a complex subject. No matter how good a husband is to his wife, there are still extended family members and in-laws who are difficult to overcome!
Song Chi didn't know what kind of people the uncle's parents were, or whether they would treat her like the mother-in-law next door.
Thinking about this gave Song Chi a headache.
At that moment, the elevator doors opened.
Song Chi stepped out of the elevator and threw away the trash.
Mu Yin walked towards her and asked with concern, "Song Chi, why did it take you so long to come down? Did something happen?"
Song Chi was slightly taken aback, then smiled faintly and said, "Uncle, don't worry too much. The elevator was just a little slow and caused a delay."
Mu Yin nodded.
"Come and take a look."
He took her hand and led her to the other side.
Song Chi: "..."
It was the first time the two had held hands, but it seemed to happen very naturally.
Song Chi's heart fluttered slightly, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
Mu Yin glanced at her wrist and suddenly felt that it was too slender and small, as if he could break it with the slightest force. With a thought, he became even gentler.
"Song Chi, look what this is."
Mu Yin looked in the direction he was pointing.
It's a modified tricycle. Although it's a tricycle, it looks very cool and cute, making it perfect for girls to drive.
Song Chi was somewhat surprised: "What is this?"
Mu Yin smiled faintly at her: "I'm giving this to you. Your secondhand tricycle is too unsafe. This one has been modified and is much safer. Besides, I'll drive you when you set up your stall, so it'll be easier for you."
Song Chi: "..."
Mu Yin's smile flashed brightly into her eyes.
The gift he gave her, and his caring words, made her heart skip a beat.
