"Hehe... don’t tell me that household chores are just for women to do. Even the leaders advocate for gender equality. If women can do chores, men can do them too. Brother Zhang next door helps Sister Zhang with chores every day after work. If he can do it, why can’t you?"

"If all you do is say you’ll treat me well for life, but there’s no actual action, then I’m really disappointed in you."

Yuan Chun snorted coldly, "Lin Baoshan, I’ve been doing the chores all along, taking care of you. Starting today, the chores are entirely your responsibility. You need to take care of me. I want to eat meat dishes today. At this time, the State-owned Restaurant must have meat dishes. Go buy them for me."

Then, without even looking at his cloudy and stormy face, she returned to the room.

These days, the pregnancy nausea was quite severe, and her stomach felt uncomfortable.

After returning to the room, Yuan Chun took an anti-abortion pill and secretly drank a bottle of milk. Only then did her stomach feel much better.

Who knows if Lin Baoshan really didn’t have any money notes or if he borrowed from someone, but half an hour later, he brought back two lunch boxes, one with rice and one with braised pork.

Yuan Chun unceremoniously took them and finished them all by herself.

Lin Baoshan sat on the side, eyes fixed on the braised pork, swallowing with envy.

Several times, he opened his mouth, wanting to ask Sun Yuanchun to leave some for him, but remembering her words in anger today, he held back and didn’t dare speak up.

After eating and drinking her fill, Yuan Chun pushed the lunch boxes away and ordered him, "Lin Baoshan, go boil a pot of hot water for my bath. I’ve sweated all over and feel sticky and uncomfortable."

Lin Baoshan glanced outside the door and advised, "Yuan Chun, there’s no water in the water tank. At night, it’s hard to see when fetching water. How about... you take a bath tomorrow?"

"I’ve sweated. It stinks. How can I sleep at night without washing? Before, I often fetched water in the dark, and I never heard you tell me not to go. Why? As a woman, I could fetch water at night, but you, a grown man, can’t?"

"I can. I’ll go fetch water now. I’ll call you once I’ve boiled the water." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"That’s more like it."

Yuan Chun snorted twice and returned to the room again.

Half an hour later, Yuan Chun was about to fall asleep when Lin Baoshan called her for a bath, "The water is ready in the bathroom, the temperature just right."

"Oh."

Yuan Chun took her clean clothes and went to the bathroom.

After washing, she put the dirty clothes in the wooden basin and instructed, "Lin Baoshan, wash the dirty clothes before you go to bed."

"Alright, you sleep first."

Yuan Chun seemed to hear the sound of him gritting his teeth.

Hehe, these chores were what the original character had been doing for the past six months.

Now, he’s just on his first day and he can’t take it?

Yuan Chun turned back and added, "Lin Baoshan, I’m pregnant. In case you kick my stomach while sleeping at night, from today onwards, you’ll sleep in the storeroom. The bed I used before marriage is still there and hasn’t been thrown out. Just make it with bedding and you can sleep."

Yuan Chun went back to the room, found a set of half-old single bedding that Lin Baoshan used before marriage, threw it onto the living room bench, and called out, "Lin Baoshan, your bedding is on the bench."

Then, with a bang, the door was closed.

And locked from inside.

Lin Baoshan stood in the yard, his face so dark you could squeeze ice out of it, desperately pondering how to calm Sun Yuanchun down.

Before, he could coax this silly woman into obedience, having her serve him like a master, and he could certainly do it again.

It must be this foolish woman doesn’t want his mother to live in her house, so she’s deliberately messing with him, throwing a tantrum.

A spoiled princess is bound to have a little temper.

Once she vents enough, he’ll settle accounts with her then.

He’ll endure it for now.
