At dinner time, Jiang Tingxia had no appetite and was ready to leave after eating just two bites. Although she had been lying down all day, it was no use not being able to sleep. Her head was still dizzy. She said lightly, "Just leave it there after you finish eating. I'll wash the dishes."

She knew nothing about these housework, and the only thing she could do was washing the dishes, so she took on that task.

Li Changpu hummed and wanted to ask her what was wrong, but when he saw the two big dark circles under her eyes, he said nothing.

When he was resting after washing up, Li Changpu was arranging his two stools. Seeing Jiang Tingxia sitting up again with the quilt wrapped around him, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to stay up all night again?"

Jiang Tingxia uttered an "oh", "I can't fall asleep even if I lie down."

Li Changpu spread the mattress on the stool. He felt an indescribable annoyance in his heart, and his hands became heavier, which sounded like the sound of angry banging in Jiang Tingxia's ears.

Jiang Tingxia asked in confusion, "Why are you angry? I'm not annoying you."

"Can I disturb your sleep by sitting here?"

Li Changpu stood up and looked at her, saying sternly, "Just tell me what you want. There's no need to make a fuss in the middle of the night."

Jiang Tingxia looked at his cold face, feeling three parts puzzled and seven parts angry. How had she been bothering him?

Li Changpu thought about it for a day and understood about 70% of the situation. Didn't she just want a divorce? She was making trouble here by using a few mice as an excuse.

From the beginning he knew that the young lady looked down on him and he didn't take the marriage seriously. Later, when he heard that someone was coming by train to marry him, he became suspicious. When he met the person at the train station and saw the picky and unwilling look on the girl's face, how could he not understand what she meant.

He had no objection to divorce, and as long as she asked for it, he would report it immediately.

But what's the big deal about making such a fuss every day?

Jiang Tingxia's temper also flared up, "Didn't you ask me what I wanted? Do you think you can do it if I tell you?"

Li Changpu snorted coldly, "As long as you say it, I can do it."

Jiang Tingxia: "Okay, then catch all the mice in the house."

"No problem, I'll go tomorrow..."

Li Changpu felt something was wrong after he said this, "Rat? Why is it a rat again?"

Jiang Tingxia didn't know what he was thinking, so he rolled his eyes at him and replied, "What else could it be but a mouse? Anyway, you agreed."

Catch them all so she can have a good sleep.

She didn't want to ask Li Changpu for this at first. After all, he was busy enough in the day, and their relationship was so unfamiliar. After Jiang Tingxia came to her senses from the incident of death that had happened once, and after realizing that Li Changpu might have a tendency to domestic violence living in this environment, she had already begun to consider whether they were suitable to be husband and wife. How could she have the nerve to ask for it?

But this was his own idea, so how could Jiang Tingxia not seize the opportunity?

Jiang Tingxia: "But you just said you would do something tomorrow?"

Li Changpu: "What do I need to prepare to catch mice?"

Hearing Jiang Tingxia's question, Li Changpu swallowed back the rest of his words. He didn't want to bring up this topic first, so he said vaguely, "Tomorrow I'll go... get some medicine for the rats."

Jiang Tingxia had never encountered such a thing before, so she believed whatever Li Changpu said.

She asked, "What medicine?"

Li Changpu: "What kind of medicine? Uh, pesticide, I guess."

Jiang Tingxia didn't doubt it, "Oh, then don't forget it tomorrow."

Li Changpu: "What about today? Sitting like this all night again?"

Jiang Tingxia wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. "Anyway, the mouse hasn't been caught. I'm scared and can't sleep."

Li Changpu was angered by what she said, "I've never heard of rats eating people, what's there to be afraid of?"

Jiang Tingxia was unforgiving in her words. "You are ignorant if you haven't heard of it. Rats are omnivores. They will gnaw on anything. They will eat your fingers, toes, and ears."

Jiang Tingxia showed a look of fear on her face. "You woke up the next morning after sleeping for a night and found a hole in your ear. Isn't that scary?"

Li Changpu looked at her blankly. He was not scared by what she said, but he had never seen such a timid person before. He looked at her twice more.

Jiang Tingxia continued to chatter, "Rats are very dirty and carry a lot of germs. What if they get scratched or bitten and contract an infectious disease?"

Li Changpu was speechless, "According to what you said, I would not have survived until today."

Jiang Tingxia knew that he didn't take it to heart and was too lazy to explain it to him.

But he saw Li Changpu moving a stool and sitting down in the middle of the room.

"What are you doing sitting here?"

Li Changpu spread his hands and said, "I'll keep an eye on it for you. You can go to sleep now."

Jiang Tingxia shook her head. "No, I'll just catch up on my sleep during the day. You still have things to do during the day, so don't stay up late."

Li Changpu frowned tiredly, "If you start yelling again in the middle of the night, I won't be able to sleep either."

Jiang Tingxia heard him say that and knew that she had caused him trouble, but she still insisted and whispered, "You go to sleep, I won't stop calling you."

Li Changpu looked unconvinced.

Jiang Tingxia felt guilty when he looked at her, and her eyes were wandering. In fact, she just said that, and there was no way to guarantee that she really saw that thing.

As the two were looking at each other, a black mollusk floated over from the ground like flying, and stopped not far from Jiang Tingxia. Its upper limbs were off the ground, and its two rolling green eyes looked at the frightened Jiang Tingxia curiously.

The next second, Jiang Tingxia's screams echoed throughout the house.

Li Changpu stood up quickly. The mouse noticed his action and ran away without a trace.

Li Changpu cursed inwardly, this thing was really amazing, he saw it clearly just now, the mouse just stood there, Jiang Tingxia looked at it, and it also looked at Jiang Tingxia, it didn't look scared at all, instead Jiang Tingxia was almost scared out of his wits, it wasn't until he stood up that the thing ran away.

This thing bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Seeing Jiang Tingxia wilting with fear, Li Changpu finally believed that she was really afraid of this. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he found a shovel and a broom and said, "You go to sleep. If it dares to come out again today, it will definitely not be able to escape."

……

Zhang Hongxiang next door patted Zhao Yong and said, "Hey, there's another fight over there."

Zhao Yong was half asleep, "Ah! Didn't we have a scene yesterday?"

Zhang Hongxiang said with a sigh, "Li Changpu has a bad temper. Just listen to how miserable Sister Xia is crying."

Zhao Yong still remembered how Jiang Tingxia looked arrogant when he first met her, and he said, "That's how we have to deal with her."

"It will take two days to figure out how to live your life."

Zhang Hongxiang was a little worried while watching the fun. She pushed Zhao Yong when she heard the sound of things being smashed next door. "Why don't we go over and take a look? You can also persuade Li Changpu. Even if he is angry, he shouldn't treat his wife like this. Don't let anything really happen."

Zhao Yong didn't care at all and fell asleep. "What's the problem? Every family has quarrels and quarrels."

Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia waited all night, but the mouse seemed to know the news in advance and never showed up again. Only the two of them had dark circles under their eyes and did not sleep all night.
