Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Li Mo'er followed behind Li Tianming. They started from the shop and walked two streets before arriving at their destination.

She looked at the somewhat dilapidated signboard, not knowing what it said. When she had some spare money, she would change it to "Li Residence".

She originally wanted to call it "Li Mansion", but it sounded like a wealthy man's residence, so "Li Residence" sounded better.

"Squeak-"

The door was quite old and heavy, making a loud thud when pushed open.

Judging from the outside, I thought the inside would be rather desolate, but apart from some small weeds, the rest of the place was quite nice.

The whole yard is very large. There is a living room in the front yard and two small courtyards next to it, each with several bedrooms.

There is a large bedroom in the backyard, next to which is a study. Pushing open the door, there are no books inside, only a table and a few bookshelves.

But it wasn't dirty or messy, and there weren't even any cobwebs.

There are so many rooms, she can't possibly stay in them all. Once everything is arranged, Aunt Tianming and her family can move in together.

Li Mo'er used the remaining silver notes to buy some furniture with Li Tianming.

……

Shen House

Shen Zicen huddled in the corner of the bed, trembling under the covers.

He covered himself completely with the blanket, making sure he wasn't exposed.

"Brother, let her go. I don't need a doctor."

Shen Zicen's muffled voice came from under the covers. Shen Ziche looked at the violently shaking blankets and could only ask the doctor to leave first.

She remembered what the male doctor said about treating mental illnesses with mental medicine, so he specially invited a doctor who was more experienced in these areas.

However, the doctor was a woman, and she was over seventy years old. He didn't expect Ah Cen to be so resistant.

Hearing the door close, Shen Zicen quickly leaned over the bed and vomited.

Now, he feels nauseous and vomits whenever he is in the same space as a woman.

He almost threw up in bed just now.

Seeing his strong reaction, Shen Ziche didn't dare to find a doctor for him easily. He could only let him rest slowly and hope that he would get better after a while.

He turned around and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Shen Zicen saw her brother raise his arm and knew what he was doing, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

In bed, he kept telling himself to hold back, that it was okay, she wasn't Wang Xian.

But he still couldn't do it, he still didn't have the courage to look at her, and he still couldn't get over that hurdle.

But seeing his brother worried about him, he still couldn't give up. He decided to go out for a walk tomorrow and try to get used to things.

If he leaves, his brother will be all alone.

For his brother's sake, he must live on.

Shen Ziche sat in front of A-Cen's room, quietly gazing at the sky, trying to pull the sadness out of his mind. He couldn't let his sadness affect A-Cen.

He sat there for the entire afternoon until he felt a pain in his stomach, which brought him back to his senses.

He simply got up and carried the cooked porridge to A-Cen.

He gazed at Ah Cen's sleeping face, unable to bear waking him. Perhaps only in this moment was he truly free from sorrow.

Gently wake Ah Cen, he doesn't say a word, just silently feeds her porridge.

Just as Shen Zicen was about to discuss going out for a walk with her brother, she was fed a mouthful of porridge.

He didn't have a chance to speak until he finished the bowl of porridge.

"Brother, I want to go out for a walk tomorrow."

Shen Zicen lowered her head and murmured softly.

Shen Ziche thought he was hallucinating until he saw A-Cen's fingers fidgeting nervously.

He gently placed his hand on A-Cen's hand, "A-Cen, there's no rush, you should focus on getting better first."

The moment Shen Ziche touched A-Cen, he clearly felt the stiffness in his body. Even though he tried to relax later, it was completely different from his original relaxed state.

In the past, Ah Cen would often hug him and cling to him. He was naughty and mischievous from a young age, and once his mother found out, he would hide behind her like a little chick.

But now he's like a frightened rabbit, not getting close to anyone, and his emotions might erupt at any moment.

The slightest disturbance will startle them, and they will be afraid of being hurt.

Shen Zicen bit her lip, raised her head and looked at Shen Ziche seriously.

"Brother, I can do it."

He lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the unease in them.

Knowing his temperament, Shen Ziche didn't try to persuade him any further. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I'll stay with you."

After saying that, he turned and left the room. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Ah Cen would make other demands, and he would give in.

Shen Zicen only slowly raised her eyes after hearing the door close. Her palms were bleeding from nervousness, and her lips were white from biting them.

Before tomorrow even arrived, he was already considering backing out, but he held back; he had to force himself to take this step.

Even with constant self-encouragement, the fear in one's heart cannot be ignored.

He lay in bed, constantly imagining what it would be like to meet other women the next day, and every time he started to imagine the image of a woman, he couldn't help but vomit.

He kept trying and vomiting until his stomach was completely empty, and then he finally fell asleep, exhausted.

Shen Ziche was in the courtyard, unsure how to help A-Cen. He wanted to dismiss the women in the manor, but felt it would be too deliberate. He was also worried that if A-Cen was kept in this environment, he would not be able to adapt to life outside.

After much deliberation, he decided not to dismiss the women in the household and instead allowed them to perform their respective duties.

He hadn't expected that Ah Cen had reached the point of loathing women; in fact, he had thought Ah Cen was recovering quite well these past few days.

It turns out that all of this was his illusion; he had been neglecting Ah Cen too much.

Li Mo'er hired two people to clean the Li residence again, and the house looked more vibrant after the renovation.

Looking at the rooms in the west courtyard, she decided to give the entire west courtyard to Aunt Tianming and the others to live in.

When the time comes, just tell Er Gouzi to pack his things and come over. If you try to discuss it with Aunt Tianming, they definitely won't agree.

As soon as she got home, Li Mo'er excitedly told Su Yanli the news that they were moving to the town. Su Yanli didn't react much, just nodded slightly.

He is very content now; wherever Li Mo'er is, that is home.

Li Mo'er told Su Yanli about the plan to have Er Gouzi's family move into the Li residence. Su Yanli expressed her support, since Aunt Tianming had been busy with all of this.

Li Mo'er looked at Su Yanli with a smile on her face and did not refute him, thinking that he was just being perfunctory.

She silently turned around, muttering to herself.

Seeing her sudden drop in mood, Su Yanli was a little confused and leaned closer.

But then she heard Li Mo'er complaining, "He's clearly not happy at all, but he doesn't care."

Su Yanli raised an eyebrow in confusion, but he did not show that he was indifferent.

But seeing Li Mo'er's aggrieved look, I couldn't help but laugh. How did she change so much?

He pressed on Li Mo'er's shoulders, turned her back to face him, and stared at her intently as he spoke.

“I’m not indifferent; on the contrary, I care a lot, and I’m happy about it.”

After saying that, he realized something, quickly put his hand down, glanced to the side, and stood awkwardly to the side, not daring to meet Li Mo'er's gaze.

He's really become quite lawless; he actually dared to speak to his wife like that.

In the instant he looked away, he missed Li Mo'er's starry eyes. She was gazing at Su Yanli with sparkling eyes—so manly!
