Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Li Juan returned to the room, feeling completely dazed, even though her stomach constantly protested, she was entirely oblivious.

Right now, she had only one thought, "Wei He, where are we going to live?"

"Your... mom, how can she be so heartless."

Yeah, Li Juan admitted she had said Zhang Yu was not good, but so many daughters-in-law say their mother-in-law is not good, how come she was the unluckiest?

"Even your sister-in-law says your... mom is not good." Li Juan thought about it and felt wronged, really very wronged.

Wei He knew his wife’s words were not wrong, Feng Xia had also grumbled outside about how Zhang Yu was not good.

"But she didn’t say it to my mom’s face." Wei He was also not in a good mood, such a small matter unexpectedly turned into this, he still felt dizzy, not knowing how to talk about it.

The more he thought, the more angry he became, Li Juan is already grown-up, yet she didn’t know how to give in a little, knowing well that the old lady was in a bad mood.

And Zhang Yu too, insisting on making a fuss over such things, letting people laugh at them, see how now, their family has already become a laughing stock among the neighbors.

Li Juan cried more and more sorrowfully, especially as her stomach kept growling, "I’m hungry."

Of course Wei He was hungry too, but seeing his wife’s pitiable look, what could he do, "There are some snacks left at home."

The two had no choice but to finish the remaining biscuits.

"Wei He, do you think mom will make us move?" A colleague of Li Juan mentioned the price of renting a place, "It probably costs about ten yuan, and the household expenses at least twenty, with rent, it would be thirty yuan."

"Our income is enough." Wei He said softly, "But that’s just the basics, just a little meat, what can that do."

"Before, mom would go to the black market, also for social relationships, if our family eats well, it would definitely need more money." Wei He never went to the black market, Zhang Yu handled all that, but he knew the meat prices at the black market weren’t cheap.

"And the children’s clothes, before my mom had connections, went to the fabric factory to get fabric scraps, piecing them together little by little."

"Now my mom definitely won’t care, how many cloth coupons does our family have, you want to buy new clothes, children’s clothes..." Wei He felt increasingly overwhelmed as he thought about it.

"Really." Originally, he thought after the separation, they would have more money, and go to restaurants more often for meals.

But who would have thought, just agreed on the separation yesterday, today they’re already caught in all kinds of chaos, "Juanzi, you need to learn to cook, otherwise once we move out, meals will be a problem."

He never thought they’d one day be so troubled over cooking, the thought made Wei He feel a headache, "While we’re still here, Auntie Wang and Granny Jiang, and the old neighbors can still give some guidance."

"Once we move, who knows about the neighbors around." The thought of having to rent a house, really gave Wei He a headache.

Oh? Li Juan never thought she would have to cook, which made her very unhappy, "Wei He, you promised me that I wouldn’t have to cook."

Clearly, it was a promise made before, but why wasn’t it fulfilled, unhappy, Li Juan pouted.

In the past, if Wei He saw his wife looking like this, he would definitely comfort her, making her happy.

But now, he’s feeling all sorts of irritation, not in the mood to cheer her up, "Which man’s wife doesn’t cook."

"Your sister-in-law started cooking from the first day she entered the house, did your sister-in-law pout?" Really, what mom said was true, Li Juan was spoiled, never felt she had to cook.

"And the clothes, sheets, and covers, we have to wash them." Wei He actually didn’t want to do it, seeing other women doing the work, but he dared not say anything, worried if he let Li Juan do all the work, she’d definitely fly into a rage.

For safety’s sake, Wei He helplessly expressed, "I will help you."

Wei He felt he was really sacrificing a lot this time, but in Li Juan’s eyes, she definitely felt unfair, "Why do I have to do it all, you just assist me, I’m busy at work too."

"What are you busy with?" Wei He could compromise on many things, but he couldn’t compromise on housework.

Because of this, the couple had their first quarrel ever since they confirmed their relationship.

Zhang Yu was just about to fall asleep, but the commotion from the couple next door woke her up immediately, she really wanted to curse, don’t they know how hard it is for elderly people to fall asleep?

But when she listened closely, goodness, the fuss was about doing housework, it was utterly speechless, "They are fussing over doing housework."

"Should we go and mediate?" Wei Dazhi asked groggily.

"No way." Zhang Yu, once woken, couldn’t fall back asleep, "Maybe it’s their way of discussing."

"Originally, it was just a small problem between the couple, but once we show up, the problem grows, and by then they’ll be crying and fussing, do you help or do you not help."

"Let them fuss, even if they end up divorcing, it’s fine." Zhang Yu expressed her stance, "They can divorce over doing housework, if they don’t feel ashamed by it, I don’t mind."

Zhang Yu was just worried they would dig a pit for her again, waiting for her to jump in, these two had pulled such stunts more than once, anyway, she absolutely wouldn’t fall for it.

"By the way." Since there’s no way to rest, Zhang Yu started discussing her stash.

Originally, she thought with all the treasures she had, her husband would display a surprised expression, but why did Wei Dajiang show no reaction at all, what’s going on?

"Why aren’t you surprised." Zhang Yu was very puzzled.

"Why should I be surprised, I know you have things." Wei Dajiang had long known, "You didn’t say, so I didn’t ask."

Anyway, Zhang Yu treated him well, and that was enough, as for why she never mentioned those things, Wei Dajiang wasn’t surprised, it’s not easy for a young girl to survive in chaotic times, especially with stuff in hand, it requires even more caution.

"You’re planning to change the location." Wei Dajiang asked again.

Zhang Yu responded, "I always feel the place where I keep things isn’t safe." Of course, she couldn’t say one day they’d steal the stuff.

"Look, I’ve already fallen out with them, and I have to kick Wei He out, in case they steal the stuff, what to do."

"That’s my Zhang Family’s last assets."

"I’m still counting on these things to buy a big house, rent it out, then I’ll collect rent."

"Hmph, they all think I’m living off them, think I rely on them to support me, no one treats me like their mother."

"I just want them to see, compared to so-called children, having a house and money in hand is really more important."

Listening to his wife’s murmurs, Wei Dajiang knew that even though she said she didn’t care, she really did care, "You still have me." He tightly held his wife’s hand.
