How carefree life was! When did everything change?
It seems like it was that time that Lu Zhixia had a fever and was lying in the house. She knew, but she didn't say a word to her son.
Because she disliked her son and daughter-in-law being affectionate, she only wanted them to be at odds and never thought about making them get along well.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have stood by and watched her son do such a foolish thing back then!
Seeing the despair in the old woman's eyes, Sun Meihua burst out laughing.
"Your family is really interesting; the old ones are no good, and the young ones are no good either."
Cao Guifen struggled to lift her numb arm; she wanted to say...
"My son will not let you get away with this."
But what she said came out as "Ula ula," and even she couldn't understand what she was saying.
At this moment, she thought of Lu Zhixia's kindness, having lived together for over 10 years and taken meticulous care of her.
On her wedding day, Lu Zhixia told her, "I've never had a mother since I was little. From now on, you'll not only be Song Weidong's mother, but also my biological mother!"
At the time, she looked down on her, but now she regrets it deeply; she missed out on such a good daughter-in-law.
Sun Meihua quickly wiped the floor, then took the basin and went out. She then saw Song Weidong come out of the house, buttoning his shirt as he walked.
I thought to myself that this time was short enough, only three to five minutes!
He had the desire but lacked the ability, and it's unclear what that woman was after!
"Sister Sun, go out and buy a fish, and see if you can get some meat too. We'll make two meat dishes tonight."
Sun Meihua strode forward and reached out for money.
"Sir! You haven't given me my household allowance for this month yet. You can't expect me to pay for it myself, can you?"
Song Weidong then remembered that his salary from last month had been spent in just a few days after he received it, so he had no choice but to go back to his room and take the money out from where he had hidden his secret stash.
He was in a hurry to get to the factory because his injury had delayed the distribution of employee benefits, and he needed to deal with it as soon as possible.
I talked to the old man at the umbrella factory before, and he said he would buy an umbrella for two cents. When the price is reported to the account, it will be five cents. As for the difference in price, that is their profit. You could say that they do it without anyone knowing.
He took out 10 yuan and handed it to Sun Meihua, saying, "I thought about it and decided to save some money. Just buy a fish and some vegetables instead!"
"Okay, I got it." Sun Meihua put the money away in her pocket, her lips twitching slightly.
I thought to myself, this man is such a liar, putting on a brave face even when he's not!
Song Weidong walked to the door, then remembered his troublesome younger sister, and turned back to ask her.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you if my sister has come back recently!"
"No, she hasn't come back since we had that fight last time."
Sun Meihua rolled her eyes again. What kind of brother is this? He only thinks to ask now, and the person has been fooled all along.
She guessed that the girl was having an affair!
Kids today are more open-minded than they were back then; they can go out to eat and watch movies alone.
Thinking back to when I got married, some people only saw what their spouse looked like during the wedding night.
When Song Weidong heard that his sister hadn't returned, he panicked. He knew his mother couldn't know, so he instructed Sun Meihua...
"Don't let my mom know about this. Keep your mouth shut."
"Yes, sir, I understand."
Sun Meihua turned around and went back to the kitchen, pretending to be busy. She wanted to save two yuan from the ten yuan and put it in her own pocket.
Lying in the room, Chen Jianing felt nothing but disgust for the man. He finished in just a few minutes; he was all show and no substance.
I'll have to solve this myself in a bit, and this feeling of being stuck in the middle is really unpleasant.
There's no going back now that things have already happened, so I've decided to take some time to go back to my parents' home and see how my brother's girlfriend is doing.
On the other hand, I'm a little worried that the money that my mother has in her hands might be used by my younger brother.
That was her last resort; without that money, she would really be starving!
——
While waiting for others, Lu Zhixia quickly washed her hair in the washroom, then went back to her room to wipe herself down, as it was incredibly hot that day.
The facilities here are limited; if you want to take a bath, you have to go to a public bathhouse.
She doesn't have time to go now, but she's thinking of squeezing in some time in a few days to go and take a shower.
After changing into clean clothes, I kept checking my watch. When it was almost five o'clock, I locked the door and went downstairs.
She was going to wait for Gu Lingxiao at the door; it wouldn't be right for him to come looking for her.
Gu Lingxiao looked at himself through the rearview mirror. It had been a long time since he had worn casual clothes, and the white shirt was a little tight when he put it on.
As they approached the road leading to the tenement building, he said to Xiao Zhang,
"Drive about 30 meters further ahead, then pull over to the left."
"Okay, Captain, I understand."
Gu Lingxiao felt inexplicably nervous at this moment, unable to explain what was wrong with him. He saw Lu Zhixia appear at the intersection, and the car stopped at the same time.
Lu Zhixia saw the car parked ahead with military plates and knew it belonged to Gu Lingxiao, so she strode forward.
The car window rolled down, revealing Gu Lingxiao in casual clothes, wearing a white shirt, looking quite ascetic!
