Chapter 52 Heartbroken
Mentioning her husband, Meng Changli smiled again.
Before this, she had already prepared for a quarrel, but she didn't expect her husband to say that the town didn't really care about people setting up stalls now, so she could do it if she wanted and he supported her.
Meng Changli was a little angry at the time, "If you think so, why didn't you say it before?"
Previously, when the mother-in-law came to his house and accused him so much and spoke so harshly, he didn't say a word and didn't explain or help him at all. What's the point of saying all this now?
Next to the ping-pong table made of bricks and cement, Meng Changli folded her arms, pursed her lips and stared at her husband.
There was not much difference in height between them, and she could see her husband's entire expression when she looked over.
In Meng Changli's eyes, although her husband's appearance was not particularly outstanding, he had the temperament of a scholar. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and had a rare scholarly air.
Although the amount of ink in his belly is much less than that of his sister, it is still very good for an ordinary young man from the countryside.
At least he can read and do some accounting.
In the village, being educated means being superior.
Meng Changli thought so at first, so after much deliberation, she chose Huang Jialin.
Of course, cultural level is just his stepping stone.
The Huang family is well-off and has status and position in their village. Huang Jialin has a salary, which is what Meng Changli values.
The Huang family was the same. They took a liking to her brother who was a company commander, and they were attracted by her height and looks.
As for relationships, many times you have to look at the conditions before you can talk about relationships.
After all, in that era when people were hungry and cold, feelings were too pale.
In the first two or three years after their marriage, Meng Changli and her husband lived a very sweet life. After all, they were newlyweds, so they looked at each other through a filter and were both willing to give in and make sacrifices for their small family.
Whenever she was comforted and coaxed by her husband, Meng Changli couldn't help thinking that her vision in choosing men was still very good and that her husband was someone she could entrust her life to.
Even now, Meng Changli has never wavered in this idea.
However, the feelings between husband and wife will eventually be worn away by reality and the daily necessities of life, and will go from being passionate to being calm.
She and her husband are now in a period of dissipation after the sweetness, and the reality between them is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as Meng Changli's desire to be independent and to control her own small family.
Meng Changli never kept this idea in her heart. Just like doing business with her parents' family, she didn't want to tell her mother-in-law, but she would not hide it from her husband.
That day, after making the sample and getting her sister's approval, she made a special trip to the school to talk to her husband about it and gave him a pair of newly made pants.
She feels that no matter what the situation, husband and wife must be of one mind so that they can live a good life.
At that time, her husband also said that there were a lot more people doing business in the town. Although he did not explicitly support it, she understood that this was the meaning.
Meng Changli put aside her mental burden and concentrated on her business, thinking that even if anything happened, her husband would at least support her.
But he disappointed people after all.
Meng Changli is a very straightforward person. Whether she is happy or angry, it all shows on her face.
Huang Jialin smiled in a flattering manner and wanted to pull his wife's hand to comfort her.
Meng Changli refused and took two steps back to avoid it.
Huang Jialin said, "You know Mom's temper. The more you confront her, the more she gets angry. There are so many people on the street. You don't want us to be watched by others, do you?"
This explanation sounds reasonable.
Meng Changli: "You can't just keep silent. Do you know how embarrassed I was at that time?"
On the busy street, even if those people were just looking at her casually, Meng Changli could feel her face burning.
Fortunately, her sister stepped forward and blocked her.
Comparing the two, my sister is so nice and her husband is so disappointing.
Meng Changli's eyes were red, and Huang Jialin whispered, "I'm sorry."
What's the point of saying sorry now that things have happened.
Meng Changli said nothing.
Huang Jialin was silent for a moment and said, "Wait a moment." Then he turned and left.
What is this man doing? Meng Changli didn't understand the situation, but Huang Jialin came back soon with a wooden chair in his hand.
"You must be tired from standing all the time while setting up the stall. Sit down for a while."
Meng Changli looked at him indifferently.
Huang Jialin added: "Even if you are angry, you have to sit down and don't make yourself suffer."
This too.
Meng Changli sat down, but turned her back to her husband, too lazy to look at him.
Huang Jialin smiled. He understood that his wife was almost coaxed.
Sure enough, not long after, Meng Changli asked, "When are you going to go back and tell Mom?
You saw my mother's attitude just now, as if I had lost face.
But her objection was useless, I had to make the investment for this business anyway."
More than 40 pairs of trousers were sold out in just over an hour. Although the bill had not been settled yet, Meng Changli had a rough idea.
Huang Jialin leaned against the cement platform next to him, remaining silent and not answering in a hurry.
Meng Changli waited for a while, and when she saw that he didn't respond, the anger she had just suppressed came out again.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you just say you would support me? Could it be that your support is just lip service and you don't actually want to do anything?"
What's the use of just a mouth?
In the past, Meng Changli liked her husband's gentle and honest personality, but now she felt a little disgusted with him.
Meng Changli gave up her chair and stood up to leave, but was stopped by Huang Jialin.
"Chang Li, haven't you always wanted to separate and live alone?"
Meng Changli wanted to shake off her husband's hand, but she was stunned when she heard this and turned around to ask, "What do you mean?"
With such a strong mother-in-law, which daughter-in-law wouldn't want to separate from the family?
But the Huang family has only one son, my husband. How could they possibly divide the family?
Meng Changli did have this idea, but she just thought about it alone and occasionally complained to her husband. Because she knew it was impossible, she didn't actually take any action.
She was a little surprised that her husband actually brought it up on his own initiative at this time.
This person is too naive.
Not to mention the attitude of the parents-in-law, according to rural customs, there is no reason for a son to divide the family property.
Huang Jialin: "My mother mentioned this."
Meng Changli: “?”
It's becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
Huang Jialin pulled Meng Changli over, held his wife's hand, sighed and said, "You also know what mom and dad care about the most. Mom told me before that she wanted me to take you to the city hospital to see how you are recovering. If possible, we can have another child to fulfill their wish. You have the final say in family matters from now on."
When this matter was mentioned, the light in Meng Changli's eyes dimmed.
She pulled her hand out of her husband’s and said calmly, “Forget it, let’s not divide this family.
Meng Changli turned around and was about to leave.
Huang Jialin stepped aside to block her way and held his daughter-in-law's shoulders.
"Chang Li, don't be so anxious. Actually, I don't agree either..."
