At first, when Mrs. Li cooked, she almost burned the kitchen, and Er Gui beat her. After that, it never happened again.
Gradually, under Er Gui's palm and fist training, Mrs. Li's cooking skills improved a lot, at least reaching a level where it was edible.
Initially, Mrs. Li only cooked and was unwilling to wash clothes. After the daughter got married, the two children's clothes were so greasy and shiny, and they hadn't changed them.
There was no one to wash the clothes Zhou Ergui took off, but he didn't care much. After a while, he would find the dirty clothes and wear them again.
Mrs. Li would just rub her own clothes in water a couple of times, hang them up, and consider them washed.
Life went on like this for a while, until one day, Zhou Ergui overheard villagers gossiping about his family, saying they were all so filthy, not much better than beggars on the street.
When you got close, there would be a strong odor from their bodies.
