After observing her for two days, Shen Qingshu saw that she was just doing housework and taking care of the children with a straight face and did not continue to make trouble for him. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt more confident in his control.

Once she's scared, she'll just have to endure it, no matter how unhappy she is. And if she keeps enduring it, she'll eventually become obedient. He needs an obedient wife.

That night, Lin Fengjiao was incredibly passionate in bed, taking care of him until he was completely satisfied. Shen Qingshu patted her sweaty back, his voice slightly muffled: "Wife, you should have been more obedient from the beginning. Why did you have to be so stubborn?"

"Yawn, I'm tired, I should get some rest. Go to the bathroom and brush your teeth, your bad breath is getting worse."

"...!!"

Shen Qingshu was half asleep when he felt a pair of hands gently wiping his forehead. It felt very comfortable, and he murmured with a slight smile, "Xiao Rou, you are so good to me, better than Feng Jiao."

Lin Fengjiao's hand froze in mid-air as she stared in disbelief at his sleeping face. Who was Xiaorou? Was she his old flame?

No, Qing Shu is devoted to me, how could he possibly have a lover? If he did, how could it be my turn to marry him? I must have misheard.

Yes, you must have misheard.

I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and stayed awake until dawn. Looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes were red and swollen, and my hair was a mess, making me look ten years older.

The bright and carefree look in his eyes was gone. His heart sank, and he fell silent. He numbly saw Shen Qingshu off at the door, and closed it after watching him leave.

The children behind me started making a ruckus again, fighting over things and shouting.

Lin Fengjiao wasn't in the mood to deal with it. She took out a few cents and handed them over: "Take this. Go to the corner store and buy some food. You guys can play in the courtyard. I have a headache and I'm not feeling well, so I need to rest."

The twins' eyes lit up, and they said happily, "Okay, Mom, you stay home and get some sleep, we're going downstairs to play."

"Enen, go down."

She waved her hand impatiently, telling him to hurry up and leave. Her last bit of patience had long been exhausted by the daily torment. Now, all she wanted was to avoid seeing those two brats.

She felt she could still breathe; otherwise, she would have wanted to kill someone at any moment. After everyone left, she closed the door and went back inside to pack her things.

Lin Fengjiao looked at the bundle, a struggle flashing in her eyes: "Do I really have to go back like this? If he finds out I ran home, we'll definitely argue and he'll get angry."

"But my face really can't be delayed any longer. It hurts too much. My flesh feels like it's rotting. I can't just not go home to get treatment because he's upset."

"Yes, I did nothing wrong. I'll come back after my face is healed."

Thinking of this, I hid the bag under the bed, suppressed my somewhat uneasy feelings, and made lunch and dinner as usual, took care of the children and tidied up the house. However, an unexpected incident still occurred at the dinner table.

Shen Qingshu looked at the bump on his youngest son's forehead and couldn't help but scold her, "Fengjiao, you didn't go out with the children. Look how big the bump on your second son's forehead is."

"They're so young, what if they get taken away by human traffickers? You can't just ignore them because they're not your children. How can you sleep soundly at home like that?"

Lin Fengjiao looked at his face and felt very upset: "No, I'm tidying up at home. You're a clean freak and like things to be tidy, right? If I come with you, who will clean the house?"

Shen Qingshu frowned: "Things need to be prioritized. The child is the most important. The housework can be done tonight. We'll be done now after dinner. We can take our time."

"But if I make it at night, how will I have time to rest? I still have to get up early to make breakfast..."

"Shh, Fengjiao, you're young and your body recovers quickly, just do it quickly, you don't need to sleep too much tonight."

"There are only a few people in the family, how much work can there be to do?"

Lin Fengjiao felt wronged. Her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say. There might not seem to be many things to do at home, but she did them every day. Not to mention the twins peeing and pooping in bed.

She makes a ruckus every day, and if she doesn't check every place, the house will stink terribly, and Qingshu will be unhappy again. Why can't he see what she's doing?

She sniffed, lowered her head, and listened to his rant.

Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Qingshu knew she was unconvinced and sighed, "Fengjiao, I know you're stubborn. It's always better to listen to me, don't you think?"

"Oh, by the way, how much money have you spent since we got married? Let me check if I have enough in the drawer."

Lin Fengjiao shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't counted in detail, but it seems to be around forty or fifty. What's wrong?"

"Are you sure it's forty or fifty? But I checked the drawer, and I clearly put seventy or eighty in there. And this is only a little over a month since we got married. How did you spend it all? Where did it go?"

"Of course, I'm not saying you can't spend money, it's just that we're going to live a life together, so we need to learn to be more frugal. We need to make the most of our time, and raising children will be a lot of pressure in the future."

Shen Qingshu sighed, "Look at me, I'm all alone, supporting a whole family. You wouldn't understand the pressure. Sigh."

Lin Fengjiao raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed: "What do you mean? You're not saying I'm supporting my family, are you? I swear to God, I haven't. You can't slander me."

"Look at you, getting anxious again. When did I say you were supporting your family? I was asking where the money went. You're the lady of the house, how can you not know anything about it?"

"I went to the hospital three or four times, and each time I had to get checked out. Maybe it cost a lot of money, but I don't go to the hospital every day."

Shen Qing looked at her expressionlessly: "Yes, but how much exactly was spent? I'm the one who earns money to support my family, you have to let me know where the money went."

"As you know, I'm not a stingy person. Before we got married, I gave you a gold necklace and my mother gave you a big gold bracelet. Our family really likes you, and you have to admit that."

"Nowadays, normal couples always do the math when it comes to daily life. I don't suspect anything about you, and you don't need to overthink it."

Lin Fengjiao sniffed and said in a low voice, "Oh, I see. I did some calculations and it's probably because we spent too much money on groceries. The two kids need to eat meat every meal."

"You know how expensive this meat is. Other families might eat it every few days at most, but we have it almost every day. I want to save money, but my two kids won't allow it."

Shen Qingshu didn't want to argue about these things. Heaven knows, when he saw so much money gone from the drawer, his head was buzzing. If it were the old Yun Rou, this would have taken three or four months' worth of money.

She's the daughter of a city leader, and she's so frugal. Fengjiao, who comes from the countryside, should be even better at managing her finances.

She looked at him with suspicion in her eyes.
