She didn't care anymore, just packed her things, lay down, and went to sleep.

Qin Xiang'an had just taken another shower, and the heat in his body had finally subsided.

But when he thought about what he had seen, Qin Xiang'an's emotions, which had just calmed down, almost surged up again.

He was afraid his wife would be frightened if she saw him like this, so he did more than two hundred push-ups in the yard outside.

He was covered in sweat and took a shower. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, he figured his wife must have gone to sleep before going inside.

Shen Jingyue was still awake when she heard the door open, so she looked up at the doorway.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Qin Xiang'an closed the door and saw her looking up at him with her small face. He was stunned for a moment.

"I'm waiting for you. The wardrobe blueprints I requested are finished."

Shen Jingyue sat up and handed him the drawing she had just made.

When Qin Xiang'an heard his wife say "I'll wait for you," his heart felt like it had been struck by something, leaving him with a slightly itchy feeling.

He walked over and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

He took the drawing from her and was somewhat surprised when he saw the picture.

"Honey, did you draw this?"

"What's wrong? Is my drawing bad?" Shen Jingyue looked at him.

Qin Xiang'an: "No, you draw very well. I just didn't know you could draw."

To be honest, apart from rescuing her from the water and rushing into marriage, he hadn't really gotten to know his wife properly in the four or five days that followed.

I had no idea she could also draw.

"There's a lot you don't know," Shen Jingyue said with a touch of pride.

"Keep the blueprints safe, and take them to Uncle Daji tomorrow to have them made. I also want a dressing table; I've drawn a design on it too. You should ask Uncle Daji to make one as well."

"Okay, I'll take it to Uncle Daji tomorrow and ask him to make it for me."

Qin Xiang'an put away the blueprints, then turned off the light and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

……

At Sister-in-law Lu's house, after taking a bath, Old Lu entered the house and saw his wife sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) applying something to her face.

He walked over wearing a vest and shorts.

"Honey, what are you putting on?"

As I got closer, I could smell a fragrance; it smelled quite nice.

"This was sent to me by Sister Wang through Sister Shen. She said it's for rubbing on the face, and that using it regularly will make the skin white, tender, and smooth."

Sister-in-law Lu wiped her neck again, and only after she finished did she put the things away.

"Really? Does this stuff even work?"

Sister-in-law Lu glared at him. "How is it useless? You didn't see Sister Shen's face. It's so fair and tender. She also used this product, and her skin is so good."

"Let me see. I must say, it smells quite nice." Old Lu came over and hugged his wife, pouting as he tried to kiss her.

Sister-in-law Lu turned her face away with a look of disgust. "What are you doing? The child is still awake in the next room."

"What's there to be afraid of? Just keep your voice down." Old Lu hugged her and laid her down on the quilt that had been laid out on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Oh no, we did *that* as soon as we got back last night, so don't even think about it tonight."

Sister-in-law Lu wouldn't tolerate him and pushed him away forcefully.

Then he sat up.

Old Lu sat up with a sullen expression. "Wife, what's wrong with you? You seem to find fault with everything I do today."

They didn't even leave him hot water, forcing him to take cold showers.

He thought to himself, "I haven't done anything to offend her."

Could it be because I was too rough with myself last night? But didn't my wife enjoy it too?

"What do you think?" Sister-in-law Lu glared at him.

Old Lu was still completely confused. He scratched his head and said, "Honey, what's wrong? Just tell me what's on your mind. I'm not a mind reader, how am I supposed to know what you're thinking?"

Sister-in-law Lu reached out and pinched his waist hard.

Old Lu gasped in pain.

"Ouch, honey, be gentle!"

My wife is really ruthless.

"You heartless bastard, the moment Deputy Regiment Commander Qin came back, he was thinking about building a toilet for his wife."

"And you, as soon as you come back, you act like a king, trying every way to make me serve you."

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Lu became very angry and pinched his waist hard again.

If it were before, Sister-in-law Lu wouldn't have thought much of it, but that's because there's no comparison now.

Moreover, compared to the other people in the family compound, she felt that Lao Lu was quite nice to her.

But now that we have Shen Meizi as a comparison, it's easy to tell who's better and who's worse.

As soon as Deputy Regiment Commander Qin returned, he built a toilet for Shen Meizi in the yard. When she passed by the door, she saw through the open door that Deputy Regiment Commander Qin was washing diapers for the child early in the morning.

But her husband, Lao Lu, wanted her to serve him as soon as he came back, and all the laundry and cooking were her responsibility.

"Alright, honey, I know I was wrong, stop pinching me." Old Lu quickly took his wife's hand away.

"So you want to build a toilet too? Well, once Lao Qin's is done, I'll build one in our yard too, what do you think?"

Without a doubt, he was pinched hard on the other side of his waist again.

"Ouch, honey, why are you pinching me again?" Old Lu glared at her, displeased.

That woman hit too hard.

"Building a toilet doesn't cost money. You have three kids, and with your meager salary, you're still thinking about building a toilet? Do you want us to starve?"

Sister-in-law Lu looked at him with disappointment; she had seen it all.

Deputy Regiment Commander Qin used bricks to build the toilets, which cost a lot of money.

Building a toilet costs at least ten or twenty yuan, while his monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan.

Old Lu looked at her with frustration, "Didn't you say that yourself? I said I wanted to build it, but you said no. And just now you said I don't know how to care for people."

Frustrated, he scratched his hair. This woman was really difficult to deal with.

"I can say no, but you can't just ignore how long I've been in this unit and whether you've asked me about this before?"

"You clearly don't know how to cherish me. You want to hug me tonight? Dream on."

Sister-in-law Lu was furious. She kicked him, pushing him away, and threw his tattered pillow and blanket aside.

She wrapped herself in the blanket, lay down, turned her back to him, and fell asleep.

Old Lu's brows were so furrowed they could trap a mosquito.

What kind of nonsense is this? It's outrageous and illogical.

Old Lu knew he wouldn't get to eat with his wife tonight, so he went to bed feeling frustrated.

-

The next day, Qin Xiang'an went to Uncle Daji's house and asked him to help make the wardrobe and dressing table.

Uncle Daji was very interested in the blueprints he brought and happily agreed.

However, making the wardrobe and dressing table will take time; it will take at least half a month to complete.

Qin Xiang'an agreed, paid the deposit, and told him to prepare and deliver it to her home before returning home.
