Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 560: Daughter Reborn (15)
Zhou Lizhi lay on the bed crying silently. She didn't understand why her life was not as harmonious as she had imagined even though she had married Chen Wenya as she wished. Instead, they had to quarrel over trivial matters every day. Chen Wenya would not help her at all, but only asked her to be patient and understand the difficulties her family faced.
Life in the Chen family made her bored and sad, even worse than life in the Sun family in her previous life.
In her previous life, she married Sun Jianshe. Although she didn't treat him well because she didn't like him, Sun Jianshe liked her. He was very excited when he knew she was pregnant. Even though the family was not well off financially, he still tried to let her eat meat every day. Sun's father and mother had no objection to this and would let her eat the delicious food on the table first.
As for housework, after she became pregnant, her mother took the initiative to take care of it all and didn't let her do any work. She also often reminded her to take care of her body. Even when she lost her temper at home, everyone tolerated her as a pregnant woman. Therefore, she never suffered any hardship when she was pregnant in her previous life, and never had morning sickness or dizziness.
But how could this life be so different? With the comparison of her previous life in the Sun family, Zhou Lizhi felt even more restless. After all, she had enjoyed the days of being pampered by the whole family when she was pregnant. Now, she was scolded for being a meat thief even when she ate a bite of meat, and was scolded for being a spoiled child when she could only stay at home to recuperate because of illness. The gap was so great that no matter how many excuses Zhou Lizhi made, she could not deceive herself.
She hated why she couldn't have both, why the Chen family didn't treat her like Sun's father and mother, why Chen Wenya didn't put her first in everything and obey her like Sun Jianshe did...
However, even if she cried all her tears, her dream would never come true. How could everything in the world be as perfect as she imagined? She asked to marry Chen Wenya, so what could she do if she regretted it?
Zhou Lizhi covered her rumbling stomach with her hands, feeling full of resentment and embarrassment. She didn't get to eat the bowl of noodles she had cooked because she accidentally smashed it when she had quarreled with Chen's mother. The two had another big fight, and she was so angry that she didn't cook anymore. She could only lie down and endure the hunger.
"When you regret it in the future, please don't blame me anymore." Zhou Lizhi suddenly remembered what Cui Shichu said. That day, she thought she would never regret marrying Chen Wenya, but now, she has contradicted herself. She has a little regret, but there is no turning back.
She thought back to her previous life. Although Zhou Zhiyuan was disabled in a car accident, Cui Shichu still often visited her when she was pregnant. Although he couldn't afford good things, he still tried his best to bring her some homemade sauerkraut and radish to help her avoid nausea and maintain her appetite during pregnancy.
But now, she has cut off contact with her mother and brother, so naturally even if she is pregnant, Cui Shichu will not come to her house.
Zhou Lizhi tried her best to deny her regret. If she really regretted it, wouldn't it mean that she had been wrong all along? No, she couldn't think like that. Otherwise, what was the point of her insisting on marrying Chen Wenya?
It would be better to cut off contact with my mother's family, otherwise I would be implicated by them after Zhou Zhiyuan became disabled! Zhou Lizhi tried hard to convince herself.
Zhou Zhiyuan is disabled? Zhou Lizhi suddenly remembered that she had been married for such a long time, and Zhou Zhiyuan seemed to have not had a car accident? ! She instantly widened her eyes: Could it be that Zhou Zhiyuan would never have a car accident in this life? !
At this time, she had forgotten that the reason Zhou Zhiyuan got into a car accident in her previous life was because he wanted to go to the Sun family to support her. In her previous life, she only disliked her natal family for dragging her down, and had long forgotten this cause. Of course, it is also possible that she forgot it on purpose, so she could not remember this at all in this life, and naturally thought that Zhou Zhiyuan would definitely get into a car accident.
But why didn't she think about it, she could change her own destiny, why couldn't Zhou Zhiyuan change? In this life, Zhou Zhiyuan saw her mind in her previous life in a dream, and he had long been relieved of her sister who didn't want her mother's family. Now he is working hard in school and continues to be a high school student with unlimited prospects.
When Zhou Lizhi realized that Zhou Zhiyuan had not been in a car accident, she panicked. Could it be that Zhou Zhiyuan would never be in a car accident in this life? Then what was the point of her breaking off contact with him before? If Zhou Zhiyuan had not been in a car accident, he would have been a college student. College students in this era are still very precious and destined to have a promising future. So what good would it be for her to fall out with a brother who had a promising future?
Zhou Lizhi, who is profit-driven and selfish, is actually the typical person who comes closer when there is benefit, but stays away when there is no benefit. However, the people she wants to stay away from are her own mother and brother, which makes her seem particularly cold-blooded and ruthless.
Zhou Lizhi didn't know what to feel. If she had known that Zhou Zhiyuan would not have a car accident, she would not have fallen out with him so directly when he came to see her last time.
Zhou Zhiyuan and Cui Shichu had no idea what this cold-hearted person was thinking. They were very busy. After Zhou Zhiyuan entered the third year of high school, he didn't even have time to go home on weekends. Cui Shichu would bring him meals every two days and told him to balance work and rest and not to work too hard, so as not to lose the big picture for the small.
Neither of them thought of Zhou Lizhi at all. Finally, a neighbor asked Cui Shichu: "Mr. Cui, I heard that your daughter is pregnant and the pregnancy doesn't look good. Have you visited her?"
When Cui Shichu heard his neighbor's words, he was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he was talking about Zhou Lizhi, so he shook his head and said, "No, she is at the Chen family. The Chen family will take good care of her." After all, that was the Chen family that Zhou Lizhi had always wanted to marry into.
The neighbor curled her lips and said, "You are wrong. The Chen family doesn't treat her well. I heard that your daughter was hungry a few days ago, so she added some meat to the noodles. Her mother-in-law scolded her, saying that she was lazy and greedy, and a meat thief. Tsk tsk, what a harsh scolding! How can your daughter-in-law be a meat thief for eating some meat? What's more, your daughter-in-law is pregnant with the Chen family's grandson! The Chen family's mother-in-law is really vicious. Your daughter must have such a mean mother-in-law. It must be hard for her to have such a mean mother-in-law."
Cui Shichu raised her eyebrows after hearing this. She didn't expect Zhou Lizhi to have such an experience. How pitiful. However, no matter how pitiful she was, it didn't matter to Cui Shichu. Therefore, Cui Shichu had no psychological barriers at all and said with a smile: "Who told her to marry Chen Wenya despite my opposition? She asked for such a mother-in-law. Maybe she was just arguing with her mother-in-law for fun and they will make up soon. I can't get involved in such a matter. Now they are a family. No matter how they quarrel, they are still a family. Why should I worry about it?"
The neighbor obviously didn't expect that she wasn't worried about her daughter's situation at all, and said in surprise: "But, but your daughter has been wronged, why don't you seek justice for her?"
"No, if I go there to accuse him, wouldn't that make life difficult for my son-in-law? Then my daughter will blame me for making life difficult for her husband." Cui Shichu said.
The neighbor was stunned and didn't know what to say.
