Zhang Mei felt a surge of injustice as her husband joined in the accusations against her. Tears started streaming down her face like a fountain.

In her youth, Zhang Mei was of average appearance. Now, as she aged, her looks had faded even more. Her crying only served to irritate Gu Shan further. “Enough with the tears,” he snapped, “It’s as if I’m the one bullying you. It’s your family who’s behaving disgracefully. If you want to cry, go cry at your mother’s house!”

Seeing that her tears were ineffective, Zhang Mei decided to stop crying. It was clear to her that her husband no longer harbored any affection for her. At least when they were younger, he would pretend to care.

Her heart grew cold. “I am your wife, where else would I go to cry? And how is this my fault? How was I to know they would use a fake jade pendant to bribe people?

“And you were there when they gave the jade pendant. You didn’t realize it was fake either. All you know is to blame me and criticize me. Do you even know how to be a husband?”

As Zhang Mei spoke, she began to sob again. Gu Shan, for a moment, felt a pang of sympathy. He stepped forward to pat her back, “Alright, let’s put this behind us. It’s getting late, let’s eat.”

Zhang Mei, still angry, remained seated, “All you care about is food. I just got home, I haven’t cooked yet. You got home before me, why didn’t you cook? Gu Shan, for so many years, I’ve been working and cooking. All you do when you get home is eat. Do you know how tired I am?”

Listening to her, Gu Shan felt contempt. How many years could it have been? When Gu Zi was living with them, she had been the one cooking since she was seven.

But he didn’t want to argue anymore. This woman was too noisy. Suddenly, he thought of the understanding woman from Daqing Village who had said she didn’t need much pay to be a nanny.

If he could get that woman to be their nanny, he wouldn’t have to endure Zhang Mei’s terrible cooking anymore. Gu Shan suggested, feigning concern, “You have indeed been working hard, wife. How about this, I’ll find a nanny as soon as possible. She can do the housework and cook the meals.”

Zhang Mei, unaware of Gu Shan’s ulterior motives, felt relieved at the prospect of having some help. She had no objections, “Alright, at least you still care about me. I’ll go cook.”

In the afternoon, the bustling slaughterhouse on the outskirts of the city had just finished a busy day. The workers gathered in the cafeteria to rest, each enjoying a small smoke, eating some homemade snacks, and sipping on homemade wine while engaging in idle chatter.

Sometimes, they would crack a dirty joke or discuss the pleasures of marital life, making the dining area lively.

The new employees, who had been working there for half a month, had already adapted to the work environment. They had become familiar with each other, and Jin Long, who had been transferred here as a manager, was now well-acquainted with the new employees.

“I dare say, this slaughterhouse is the best I’ve ever worked at in terms of benefits. Look, the salary is high, and there’s a free cafeteria. I heard that when it gets hot, our boss will give us a heat allowance, and we might even get air conditioning!”

“Who told you that? Could it be that good? A heat allowance is one thing, but air conditioning? Do you think you’re some white-collar worker? Haha, we’re just a bunch of butchers.”

“Laugh all you want, I heard it from our manager Jin Long. It’s true. And I heard that these humane benefits were suggested by our boss’s wife. Have you seen her? I heard she’s educated and super beautiful. She has the aura of a lady who has studied abroad.”

Jin Long quietly walked over from behind the crowd and loudly confirmed, “I can vouch for that. It’s all true, and I was the one who said it. Just work hard, and you’ll reap the benefits with Daqing Slaughterhouse. And you’ll also have the chance to see our boss’s wife. She and our boss are very affectionate, like honey and oil…”

Su Shen had just returned from outside and was passing by the cafeteria when he heard this. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of tenderness.

He nodded in response to those who greeted him, then strode towards his office. The others watched him, intrigued, “I’ve never seen the boss show such an expression before. Is he missing his wife?”

“Brother Jin Long, we don’t need to see the boss and his wife being sweet in person, we can imagine it. Who would have thought, our boss, who seems so stern, is actually a henpecked husband. Interesting…”
