Chapter 902: Face (2)
"I'll help you." Zhao Yang looked at his wife washing the dishes skillfully and thought of his cousins.
He invited his cousin to help in the store, but after every meal, his cousin would lean back in the chair with him while his wife was cleaning up, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Although he had invited them to help, those cousins did not have to do any work. They just sat around in the store and greeted customers. His wife took care of all the housework, but he never saw any of it.
"Xiaohua, am I stupid?" Zhao Yang suddenly asked while washing dishes.
The woman was stunned, and continued to clean the kitchen. After wiping the stove, she turned around and saw Zhao Yang's uncomfortable look. "You are not stupid."
Zhao Yang looked up at her, his heart was filled with joy, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he heard the second half of his wife's sentence. "You are just a big fool."
The smile on his lips immediately froze.
"I married you because you are kind-hearted." The woman looked at Zhao Yang. "I don't object to your kindness. On the contrary, I support it. But your kindness is not used in the right place. It attracted a group of jackals. You keep being kind to them. Do you think that is kindness?"
"They are a bunch of maggots, eating your flesh. When they grow up, they won't become butterflies, but flies, which will only produce more maggots!" the woman said calmly. "You always say that my family is too cold-blooded and doesn't help others. Do you know that my mother sets aside some food every year to help those who can't even afford to eat?"
"She helps people who really need help, and you help a group of people who don't need help at all. They call me bad, call me unkind, call me cold-blooded and don't help, but I accept it all! I just like my mother's 'cold-blooded'."
Zhao Yang looked at his wife. For the first time, he felt that she was so dazzling. She seemed to be carrying light. Her words struck him like an enlightenment.
After the woman finished cleaning up, she stood with her hands on her hips, waiting for Zhao Yang to retort. In the past, they would always quarrel about this, but today Zhao Yang was exceptionally quiet.
"You're right!" Zhao Yang nodded in acknowledgement.
The woman looked at Zhao Yang in surprise. He actually admitted it just like that? Without refutation? Without talking back? Without glaring?
"I will listen to you from now on. Whatever you say is what it goes!" Zhao Yang stepped forward and held his wife's hand. He used to be a big fool and he should have listened to his wife.
"Hmph! I'm glad you know!" The woman poked his forehead and said coquettishly, "Let go, my hands are all greasy! I haven't even finished wiping them off yet!"
"Just leave it to me!" Zhao Yang pushed his wife out of the kitchen and started washing the dishes himself.
The woman stood at the door, watching Zhao Yang cleaning the kitchen with all the bumps and bruises he had. Although he didn't do a good job, she was very happy.
Even if she had to suffer with Zhao Yang in the future, she felt that it was a good life. What was the hardship? She would live a comfortable life. Her husband knew how to care for her. Nothing was more important than this!
After Zhao Yang finished cleaning the kitchen, he suddenly remembered that he still owed debts to the gambling house, so he walked cautiously to his wife.
He lowered his head guiltily. "Xiao...Xiaohua, I have something to tell you."
"You say!" The woman looked at Zhao Yang in a very good mood.
"...I...I owe the gambling house twenty taels of silver..." Zhao Yang said with his eyes closed, not daring to look at his wife's face.
The woman took a deep breath. She was happy just now, but now she just wanted to murder her husband!
"Murder must be paid with life... Murder must be paid with life..." The woman kept breathing in and out, muttering to herself.
