Shao Qihai didn't know that Shao Dong had considered this so much. Since he felt that it made sense, he didn't force him. He only took this opportunity to look for Mu Jingzhe and tried to hand over his bankbook to Mu Jingzhe again for safekeeping. He wanted them to be like other families, in which men earned money while women managed the money and the house.
"Jingzhe, since your money has been used to support Little Dong's business and invest in it, you can use mine for household expenses in the future. I'll give you all the money I earn every month."
When other men handed over their savings and salaries, the missus would be satisfied. However, when Shao Qihai had handed it over last time, Mu Jingzhe had declined, saying that she was busy managing her own money.
After this period, when Shao Qihai brought this up again, he no longer expected her to look satisfied. He felt that if Mu Jingzhe was willing to accept it, he could at least see a trace of hope.
