The Strong Wife From Peasant Family

Hu Juanjuan laughed and said, afraid that he was too busy, and had forgotten to return home to eat, so she sent it over for him.

Hearing that, the smile on Magistrate Ma"s face deepened, and unexpectedly, he reached out and pulled Hu Juanjuan"s hand, and said softly, Madam, thank you for your hard work.

Hu Juanjuan was shocked, she immediately retracted her hand and stuffed the lunchbox into his hands, urging him to hurry up and eat.

He was too bold, he dared to hold her hand in front of everyone"s eyes.

Magistrate Ma smiled foolishly at Hu Juanjuan again, telling her to sit at the side and wait for him to finish eating before bringing the box back.

Hu Juanjuan thought about it, then nodded her head.

Magistrate Ma walked in front of Liu Zhimo with the lunch box and said loudly: "Master, my wife has brought me food." Magistrate"s Wife would bring food to the adults, and his wife would also bring him food. He did not have to be envious of the adults.

Hu Juanjuan could not help but reach out to cover her face. Was this fool her husband? Is that so? Is that so?

Liu Zhimo calmly looked at a certain idiot, "Mrs. Hu is truly virtuous."

"That is …" Magistrate Ma nodded his head heavily, and smiled: Master, why hasn"t Magistrate"s Wife brought you food yet?

"... "Oh, I feel sorry for her. She"s tired, so I won"t let her see me off." "

"..." Magistrate Ma"s smile froze, Master, is that really okay? He spoke as if he didn"t care about his wife.

Liu Zhimo easily pulled back one round, and raised his eyebrows and laughed at Magistrate Ma: "Magistrate Ma, the food is getting cold, are you not going to eat it?" Little kid, you want to fight him? No way.

"We"ll eat it right away. Do you want to join us?"

Without waiting for Liu Zhimo to reject, a guard walked in with a lunch box. He walked in front of Liu Zhimo and respectfully said: "Master, here"s your food."

Liu Zhimo smiled as he accepted it, and said thanks.

Magistrate Ma looked at the guard in envy. If his family had guards, then he wouldn"t have to work so hard for his wife.

With a bit of hesitation, he walked to the side, took out the food inside and sat down to eat.

"Mrs. Hu, have you eaten yet?"

Hu Juanjuan smiled at Liu Zhimo, saying that she had eaten before.

"..." Magistrate Ma was so hungry that he couldn"t eat anymore. He raised his head to look at Hu Juanjuan apologetically, he had forgotten to ask her.

Sigh... He had to learn more from adults.

Hu Juanjuan didn"t mind and shook her head, telling him to eat quickly.

She knew what her husband was like, and she wouldn"t blame him.

There were very few husband and wife like County Magistrate and Madam Ye who loved each other and thought about each other in such a way.

Her husband was much better than other men with three wives and four concubines.

She was satisfied.

Liu Zhimo moved his food onto the table beside Magistrate Ma and sat down opposite of him.

"Lord?" Magistrate Ma looked at Liu Zhimo suspiciously, not understanding what he was doing.

Liu Zhimo looked at him and smiled, "Magistrate Ma, you wouldn"t mind letting me have a taste of Mrs. Hu"s cooking, right?"

"I don"t know how to, it"s just that... "It"s just my family"s food …" Not so good, before he could finish his sentence, Liu Zhimo"s chopsticks had already eaten the sweet potatoes.

"Not bad, it"s quite delicious." Liu Zhimo nodded, he extended his hand and pushed the dishes in front of him forward, "Magistrate Ma, taste the dishes my wife cooked too."

"Alright, alright …" Magistrate Ma carefully picked at a little bit of the dish, ate a little bit, and nodded with all his might saying, "It"s delicious."

The corner of Liu Zhimo"s mouth twitched, "Magistrate Ma, no wonder you look so … "So you ate so little?"

"I... "I …"

"What about me? "Eat …" Liu Zhimo pushed his dishes to Magistrate Ma, and then pulled Magistrate Ma"s dishes to him, "If you don"t eat my family"s dishes, how can I possibly eat your family"s food? This is called a transaction … Transactions... "Understand?"

Understood... How could he not understand? The lord only said this because he wanted him to eat better.

Magistrate Ma felt that his nose was a little sore, he lowered his head and replied, then extended his chopsticks to pick up a large piece of chicken and put it into his mouth to eat.

He will repay you for your kindness at work.

Seeing that, Liu Zhimo laughed, holding Magistrate Ma"s dishes, he began to eat gracefully.

Hu Juanjuan who was seated at the side saw this, and turned her head to wipe away her tears, the kindness the Master and the Madam had towards them, she will remember them for the rest of her life.

It was also the good fortune of their family to have met such a great lady and lord.

After Liu Zhimo and Magistrate Ma finished eating, Hu Juanjuan immediately went forward and picked up the tableware.

Liu Zhimo blocked his for a while and said: "Mrs. Hu, there is no need to trouble you.

"Madam, you sit down. I"ll accept it." Magistrate Ma pushed Hu Juanjuan back onto the chair, he imitated Liu Zhimo"s actions and tidied up the tableware.

While washing the dishes, Magistrate Ma accidentally broke a plate, causing Liu Zhimo to click his tongue twice.

"Magistrate Ma, is this the first time you"ve washed the dishes?"

Magistrate Ma nodded in embarra.s.sment and asked Liu Zhimo in surprise, would he really cook and wash dishes at home?

Liu Zhimo nodded his head without hiding anything.

"But … "But a gentleman …"

"There is no such thing as a gentleman staying away from the kitchen." Liu Zhimo indifferently interrupted Magistrate Ma, "I grew up in the countryside, and while I was studying wholeheartedly, I relied on my wife to support my entire family. She works so hard, why can"t I just abandon my common sense and cook a meal for her?"

He looked at Magistrate Ma who seemed to be deep in thought, and added, "I don"t mind how others view me, I don"t think it"s shameful to cook for my family or my beloved." After saying that, he carried the washed bowl and chopsticks back to the office. After putting the bowl and chopsticks away, he put the lunchbox aside and planned to bring it back home in the evening.

Magistrate Ma stood in place for a long time as he carefully thought about what Liu Zhimo had said.

Even if Liu Zhimo"s words went against the common world, d.a.m.n it, he felt that it made sense.

While he was busy with the matters of the yamen, his family"s matters were entirely up to his wife. Sometimes, when he saw her forcefully support her exhausted body to cook for the five of them, his heart ached, but he had never thought of helping her.

He always kept that in mind. A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.

In his traditional way of thinking, a man with a future shouldn"t go into the kitchen. Only a man with no future would do what these women should do.

Now that Liu Zhimo had opened up a new world for him, he knew that he wouldn"t care about the opinions of others.

Magistrate Ma forcefully exhaled, the corners of his mouth curving upwards. He decided to learn more from the adults, to think more for his mistress.

He squatted and quickly washed the dishes, brought them in front of Hu Juanjuan, placed them in the lunchbox and handed both of his hands over to Hu Juanjuan.

"Madam, I"m sorry, but it was my first time washing the dishes. I clumsily broke a plate. I promise that I won"t do it again. I will be more careful."

Hu Juanjuan did not take his words to heart. It was already surprising enough that he could wash the dishes once, so how could there be a next time?

"It"s fine, I"m fine." She smiled and comforted him, "Work hard, I"ll go home first."

"Alright, be careful on your way."

Hearing that, Hu Juanjuan looked at him weirdly, smiled and nodded, then took her lunchbox and left.

Waiting until after dinner, Magistrate Ma reached out to clean up the tableware. This action startled Hu Juanjuan, and she immediately ordered her to put the tableware down, as she would take care of it.

Magistrate Ma looked at her deeply and said that when he was at home, he would wash the dishes.

"Husband, you … Did you receive a blow from the County Magistrate? Actually, there"s no need for that, I … "

"Madam …" Magistrate Ma raised his head and interrupted Hu Juanjuan"s words with a serious expression: "I feel that what County Magistrate said is correct. You are tired enough at home, I should help you shoulder some of the burden." Without waiting for Hu Juanjuan to speak, he told her everything that Liu Zhimo had said again.

When Hu Juanjuan heard it, she was startled for a moment. Her eyes reddened as she said, "Since it"s like that, I will have to trouble you, my husband."

Her husband wanted to help her take care of the household ch.o.r.es, so why should she reject him?

"It"s no trouble." Magistrate Ma shook his head, "I"ve already caused Madam trouble in the past."

If only he knew the County Magistrate earlier, it would have been able to help him wake up to reality.

Hu Juanjuan reached out to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes, shaking her head to say that it was not hard at all.

All the hard work from before, now hearing his words, was worth it.

Magistrate Ma smiled at her, glanced at his four sons and said solemnly, "Did you hear what I said just now? "Hmm?" He also had to teach his sons well, and when he wasn"t at home, they could help his wife with the ch.o.r.es.

The four bros nodded furiously, saying that if they heard it, they would help their mother with her work.

"Xiao Feng and the others are working at home. We will learn from them." Ma Zhi felt ashamed in his heart. Seeing Li Qingfeng and the others, then looking at the four brothers, he finally knew how big the difference was between them.

Not only were Li Qingfeng and the others good at learning, even their work was efficient.

This also let him know that work could not affect his studies. Using Li Qingfeng"s words, one had to work hard and not study until they were free.

From today onwards, he will change. He will bring his younger brothers to change.

Ma Shu suddenly spoke: "I had asked Xiao Feng before, why do they need to work themselves when they have servants in their families? Do you know what he said? " He looked around at his family members who were still silent, and continued, "He said that he wanted to learn a thing or two, and that there was an additional way to live. This sentence was taught to him by Magistrate"s Wife since he was young, so even his youngest sister, Ning Ning, had to work in his house."

At that time, he was shocked by these words and had also reflected deeply on it. He felt that Magistrate"s Wife was right, learn a little more, and there would be one more path for him to live.

These words caused the Ma Clan to quiet down.

After a long period of silence, Magistrate Ma sighed deeply and said, the master and the mistress are not ordinary people, and they have a deeper understanding of each other than us, and will take a longer time than us, so we have to learn from them.

The children nodded their heads and said yes.

And Hu Juanjuan admired Li Qingling even more.
