Mr. Charles could make money, but at home, Mrs. Charles was the head of the family, and she was in charge of his money bag. Mr. Charles was also happy to be controlled by his wife.
Jasmine smiled and said, “Mrs. Charles rarely scolds you anymore, right? I haven’t heard Mrs. Charles scold you recently.”
Mr. Charles immediately made a silencing gesture toward Jasmine and whispered, “Jasmine, don’t speak so loudly. Mrs. Charles’s ears are very sharp. If she hears it, she can scold me right away.”
Jasmine and Serenity both covered their mouths and laughed.
“I’m back to work.” Mr. Charles left happily.
Serenity watched Mr. Charles go away and said to Jasmine, “I quite envy Mr. Charles. He is always cheerful, no matter what.”
With an optimistic attitude, life will get better and better.
Jasmine said, “Mr. Charles and his wife have a good relationship and a harmonious family. Although they run a small business, they are living a good life.”
Jasmine put down her bag and sat down in front of the cashier. She saw a bag of pancakes on the counter. The pancake was quite large and had a lot of sesame seeds on it.
“You bought sesame pancakes.” Jasmine reached out and picked up a piece of sesame cake, took a bite, and said after eating, “This cake is quite delicious.”
Serenity agreed, and she also picked up a piece of cake and said while eating, “Let me try it. I didn’t buy it. Mr. Charles was the one who sent it. He said it was a specialty of his hometown. A fellow villager happened to come over and give it to him. He brought some specialties from his hometown and gave us some to try.”
