As soon as Lu Weifeng stepped into his home, he saw his wife standing on the balcony, staring intently at the vegetables she had planted herself.

This wasn't the first time Guan Xiaoqing had acted this way; she spent a lot of time observing the vegetables every day, seemingly filled with endless love and anticipation for them.

Hearing the noise coming from the living room, Guan Xiaoqing immediately flew into the house like a cheerful little bird.

When she saw her beloved husband, her face lit up with an ecstatic smile, and she leaped into his arms like a light butterfly.

"Honey, you're back! Are you tired from work today?" Guan Xiaoqing asked sweetly, her tone revealing her concern for her husband.

She wanted to ask, "How much money did you make today?" after all, she had many things she wanted to do.

For example, I want to go shopping, try delicious food, buy beautiful clothes, and go to the amusement park, but having these ideas is useless because I don't have the money.

However, before she could say those last words, Lu Weifeng pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Didn't you go out with Wang Xizhen and the others today?" Lu Weifeng gently stroked Guan Xiaoqing's hair and asked curiously.

He was somewhat surprised to find that his wife had become unusually well-behaved lately.

You know, Guan Xiaoqing used to be someone who loved excitement and going out to play.

Lu Weifeng has been back for two days, but he knows nothing about his family's current financial situation.

If he knew the family was broke, he probably wouldn't have found Guan Xiaoqing's quiet behavior so strange.

After all, given Guan Xiaoqing's personality, if she had enough money, she would definitely have gone to a Western restaurant with her girlfriends to enjoy a delicious Western meal long ago.

How could they possibly stay put and watch over those few tender green shoots that had just sprouted?

When talking about her friend, Guan Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Xizhen isn't home lately. She took Ransheng to her mother-in-law's house. I heard her mother-in-law isn't feeling well, so she has to go back and take care of her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Weifeng replied thoughtfully, "Oh, I see. I ran into Lao Zhu when I came back just now. Judging from his appearance, he should be fine, otherwise Lao Zhu would have had to go back with me."

As Lu Weifeng spoke, he recalled the expression he had just seen on Zhu Gangtai's face. Although he hadn't paid close attention to Zhu's condition, he felt that Zhu Gangtai seemed normal and didn't appear to have experienced anything serious at home.

Upon hearing Lu Weifeng's words, Guan Xiaoqing immediately grumbled with dissatisfaction, "Really? His mother is sick, and he, as her son, doesn't even go, but only sends his daughter-in-law! That's too much! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't do that. Humph!"

That last "humph" was clearly an expression of indignation on behalf of his friend Xizhen.

Guan Xiaoqing felt that as a son, Zhu Gangtai should have gone back to take care of his mother when she was sick, instead of pushing all the responsibility onto his daughter-in-law.

Guan Xiaoqing had never liked this man surnamed Zhu; he didn't seem like an honest person.

Xizhen took such good care of his family, but she never received a kind word from him.

He's always finding fault with Xizhen, thinking he's something special. Guan Xiaoqing looks down on him from the bottom of her heart.

Lu Weifeng didn't say anything; he just listened to his wife in everything.

"They live their own lives. It's a matter of mutual consent, so let's not worry about it." Actually, Lu Weifeng is right. Wang Xizhen only married Zhu Gangtai because he was a local. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Lu Weifeng was afraid that his wife would be unhappy and it would affect her mood, so he advised her not to meddle in the Zhu family's affairs.

"I just can't stand what they do, so I'm reminding you not to get too close to them. These people are unreliable. You seem okay now, but if you get too close to them, who knows if you'll be led astray? After all, you become like those you associate with."

In truth, Guan Xiaoqing secretly felt that Wang Xizhen's attitude in front of the Zhu family was too humble, but as her husband said, perhaps this was what she wanted.

Guan Xiaoqing said that she could never emulate Wang Xizhen's submissive and accommodating manner.

In fact, Guan Xiaoqing had never suffered any grievances in front of Lu Weifeng. She would only take the initiative to apologize to Lu Weifeng when she made a mistake.

Take the fact that she spent all the family savings, for example; she still hasn't dared to tell Lu Weifeng.

However, if she had told Lu Weifeng about this, he wouldn't have blamed her. He wouldn't have before, and he certainly wouldn't now. He might even have supported his wife.

Upon hearing his wife's words, Lu Weifeng immediately became displeased and retorted, "I'm not that kind of person!"

“We’ve known each other since high school. Have you ever seen anything bad happen to me?” Of course, those female classmates who were eager to pursue him don’t count; he kept his distance from them.

"Hmph, who knows what kind of person you are? I wasn't involved in your education from elementary school to junior high."

Upon hearing his wife mention this, Lu Weifeng fell silent for a moment, but soon he smiled again and hugged his wife tightly with tender eyes.

Although that incident was not his intention, it is a fact.

However, Lu Weifeng can guarantee that, apart from that incident, he has never lied to his wife or hidden anything from her.

From high school to college graduation, he gave every penny he earned to his wife to save. After he started working, he also handed over his entire monthly salary.

He didn't even know how much savings his family had as much as his wife did.

He used all the bonuses he earned at work to buy gifts for his wife.

Despite Lu Weifeng's glamorous appearance, every penny he spends comes from his wife's allowance.

Every piece of clothing and every pair of underwear he wears is bought by his wife.

This house was part of his dowry for his wife; when they bought it, the property deed was in her name only.

So what he said back in his hometown wasn't wrong; he was indeed living in his wife's house.

Because of the thing he had kept hidden, he always felt guilty towards his wife, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to confess to her.

He was afraid his wife would despise him, think he was dirty, and think he had such a shameful past.

He was even more afraid that his wife would leave him because of this.

So since he got together with his wife, he has never hidden anything from her, and he has never made her feel insecure in the slightest.

It can be said that everything Lu Weifeng did after high school, ever since he got together with Guan Xiaoqing, was crystal clear to Guan Xiaoqing.

Hearing his wife talk about junior high school, Lu Weifeng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly forced a smile and said in a somewhat stiff tone.

"Let's not talk about the past, okay? I'll go cook for you, alright?"

Lu Weifeng changed the subject, and Guan Xiaoqing didn't take it to heart; she had just said it casually.

Lu Weifeng carried Guan Xiaoqing to the sofa, then leaned down and kissed her before asking, "Wife, what do you want to eat tonight? Just tell me, and I'll show off my skills to you and Lu Chuyu tonight."
