Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Go Borrow some Grain for Me

Yang Mei looked at the closed bedroom door and her mind was filled with thoughts of Li Zhiqiang's various mistreatments towards her. She felt both aggrieved and resentful.

She was a traditional woman. When she married Li Zhiqiang, she considered his stable job at a state-owned enterprise.

Moreover, he was a local, his parents were retired employees of a state-owned enterprise, with broad social connections and pensions, and they had several properties from house relocation. Her own parents were very satisfied.

However, after getting married, she discovered that Li Zhiqiang obeyed his parents in everything, spent his days eating, drinking, playing, and fishing when he had time.

So much so that after being married for several years, she remained alone, without even conceiving a child.

As they spent more time together, she found out that Li Zhiqiang was a typical bully at home.

He didn't dare to speak loudly outside but acted dominantly and chauvinistically at home towards her.

It seemed he could only find his masculine dignity in her.

During this half year of the great flood, his character had been magnified to infinity.

When the heavy rains started, everyone else rushed out to buy grain and food. Li Zhiqiang didn't go but urged her to go instead.

After a month, the flood became severe. Some people went out seeking rescue, while some began to consciously unite with neighbors.

But Li Zhiqiang only played games, watched anime, waited for food to be served to him, mocked those who bought houses on lower floors.

As the flood intensified, everyone was trapped at home.

The lower floors were submerged, the neighbors started to panic, and people's moral bearings began to crumble.

Li Zhiqiang became like a turtle hiding in its shell, only venting his dissatisfaction on her.

Only when the food at home was about to run out and they couldn't hold on any longer did Li Zhiqiang force her to go opposite to borrow food from Liang Yuan.

She borrowed a bag of rice the first time, but once she came back, Li Zhiqiang snatched the whole bag and hid it in the master bedroom.

Some leftover snacks at home were also taken away by Li Zhiqiang.

Each time she cooked, Li Zhiqiang would scoop out a handful of rice grains in a small bowl before she cooked.

The rice each time could only produce a thin layer of rice, which Li Zhiqiang would eat over half, leaving her a bit of the burnt remnants at the bottom pot.

She could only boil some water and soak the burnt remnants into rice porridge to eat.
