She ran out quickly and accidentally kicked the door sill. She almost fell to the ground. She heard a man's laughter behind her.
"A coward."
Zhang Xia sat on the sofa and saw Wen Xin looking at a loss, and asked anxiously, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
After calming down, she said warmly, "It's okay, I was just teased by Lecher."
After dinner, Jun Mohan asked Zhang Xia about her recent academic performance, and the couple took her to the vegetable market to find Tian Xiuyu, and also thoughtfully brought a meal for Tian Xiuyu.
Zhang Xia is holding the dog Xiaotu. The little girl likes the dog very much. It’s okay if the dog doesn’t eat, but she will hold the dog after eating.
It was already past seven in the evening. Tian Xiuyu was still setting up the stall on an empty stomach. There were still more than half of the dishes on the stall. When she saw Wen Xinjun Mohan coming over with her daughter, she quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Hey, why are you two together?"
Zhang Xia ran over and said, "Mom, I had dinner at my uncle's house, and my uncle brought some food for you."
Tian Xiuyu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and said, "Wen Xin is too much trouble for you. Don't worry about this child in the future. She will cook for herself when she is hungry."
With a warm smile, "It's okay. Uncle likes to cook for Xia Xia. She is not picky about food."
"Yes, seeing the children eating so deliciously gives me a sense of accomplishment. Sister Tian, please try my cooking."
Sister Tian took the lunch box shyly and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, I really bother you every day."
Sister Tian was squatting on the ground eating, while Zhang Xia and Jun Mohan were standing aside playing with the dog.
Wen Xin smiled knowingly, then walked towards Tian Xiu Yu.
"Sister Tian, I heard that you set up your stall until around eight o'clock every day?"
"Yes, I can earn a hundred yuan a day, sometimes seventy or eighty. I am quite satisfied with my life now, but it's hard for the child."
Tian Xiuyu said this as she swallowed the food in her mouth, feeling a little bitter in her heart.
Wen Xin bit her lip and wanted to tell her about the child picking up the bottle, but she finally endured it.
She promised the children to keep the secret and naturally would not go back on her word. She could only help them as much as possible in other ways.
Wen Xin smiled and said, "I came here today to discuss something with you."
"?"
"In fact, my uncle and I go home to cook every day, but we can't finish what we make, so we decided to let the child come to our house for dinner every night, and then send her back after you close the stall."
When Tian Xiuyu heard this, she quickly refused, "No, no, we are already embarrassed to live in the house you paid for me, how can I continue to let the child trouble you, I don't agree, I will prepare the meal in advance in the future, and she can just go back and heat it up, don't worry about it."
Wen Xin frowned, "The child is growing up, and I saw that she looked pale and thin, obviously malnourished. Sister Tian, you saved my mother, you are the benefactor of our family!"
"It is the most normal thing to give a meal to a benefactor. I would be very sad if you refused."
Sister Tian's eyes reddened as she looked at the child laughing happily not far away. She raised the back of her hand to wipe her tears, but a tear accidentally fell into the lunch box.
Wen Xin continued, "It's settled. Xia Xia, I will be responsible for cooking for her and sending her home. We won't take care of your meals because we know you are stubborn and don't want us to help you. Children have small appetites, so it's just a matter of licking a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
"Oh!" Tian Xiuyu sighed, "I really don't know how to thank you."
After everything was discussed, it was already late, so Tian Xiuyu packed up her stall, gave the remaining vegetables to Wen Xin, and took the child home.
Jun Mohan wanted to take a walk, so he took the dog to Happy Lake, and Wen Xin followed behind him.
The dog pooped, so Jun Mohan took out a tissue to clean up the poop and threw it into the trash can. Then he washed his hands and came back. Seeing Wen Xin in a daze, he said calmly, "What's wrong? You look absent-minded."
Wen Xin raised her head and smiled.
"It's okay. I just feel that it's not easy for people to live in this world. It's hard for Xiaohan, it's hard for Sister Tian, it's hard for Sister Tong, and it's hard for us too."
"Don't be so sentimental all the time. Sister Tong asked for it. She is dying without her man. If she wants to be free, she can forget about the scumbag and start over. As for Sister Tian, her life should get better with our help. What happened to Xiao Han?"
"Her!" Suddenly thinking of something, Wen Xin said, "I forgot to call Xiao Han to ask her parents about their arrangements. I'll ask her first."
Wen Xin hurriedly took out her cell phone and called, but Xiao Han took a long time to answer.
“Warm and cozy.”
"Are you okay? Why does the sound sound strange? Did your parents bully you again?"
"My parents forced my mother-in-law to pay a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan. They refused to leave unless she paid. Now they are still lying on the sofa in my mother-in-law's house and the whole family is sleeping on the sofa. I have no choice."
Wen Xin frowned, "This is a bit tricky! I didn't expect your parents to ask for so much. Zhang Guodong's family is a penny-pinching family, so how could they possibly give so much?"
"Yes, my mother-in-law said that we should give them 28,000 yuan as a dowry, according to the custom in our village, and let them have a washing machine, refrigerator and motorcycle as a dowry. My parents refused to agree and just refused to do it."
"So what do you think now?"
"I don't know," Xiao Han rubbed his temple with a headache and sat by the window.
Wen Xin sighed, "I think so! Now is the time for you to have your own opinion. First, find out your husband's background and see if he wants to give a betrothal gift or divorce. If he wants to give a betrothal gift, then you can live a good life with him. The premise is that you and your wife can live alone. Otherwise, your mother-in-law will target you all day long, and you will get depressed."
"If he wants a divorce, then you should ask him to sign a contract that the child belongs to you, and ask him to pay child support every month. You haven't been married for long, so it's estimated that there won't be much property to divide. You have to be mentally prepared. It's best if you can stay together."
Xiao Han was silent for a long time before she said, "Okay, if it really comes to a divorce, I can accept it calmly."
After hanging up the phone, Jun Mohan said, "Xiao Han's family is so complicated."
With a warm smile, "Yes, Xiao Han will be miserable if she doesn't get divorced, but it won't be easy to live with the child if she gets divorced, and with her parents, God, I can't imagine what will happen to her in the future."
"Then don't think about it. It's late. Let's go home!"
The two men and the dog walked side by side, not speaking a word along the way.
Until Jun Mohan's cell phone rang, he gave the dog leash to Wen Xin, took out his cell phone, and saw that it was his mother calling. His face turned bad.
Ever since his mother and Lu Mengting conspired against him last time, he has never returned to that home, and has not even called or sent his mother a WeChat message.
He has been hesitating whether to answer it?
Wen Xin turned her head and looked over. "Your mother called you, answer it quickly!"
Under the warm gaze, he picked up the phone, his tone slightly cold, "What's the matter?"
"Son, I know you're still angry, but Mom still has to tell you. The day after tomorrow is my birthday. Because you're getting married without telling your identity, I won't hold a big celebration for now. We'll just have a family dinner at Shengshi Hua Ting. Come with warmth!"
Jun Mohan frowned, "Will Miss Lu come?"
"No, I didn't invite her because of you."
"Okay, then I can bring Wen Xin with me, but you have to promise not to embarrass her."
"Don't worry! It won't happen."
After hanging up the phone, Jun Mohan called Wen Xin who was walking the dog in front.
"The day after tomorrow is my mother's birthday, and she asked me to take you out for dinner."
"Ah!" Wen Xin turned around, a little confused, "Can I not go?"
"What do you think? She's your mother-in-law."
"I made your mother cry that day. How awkward it must be to meet her now."
Wen Xin really didn't want to meet Chu Han. If she hadn't said such harsh words that day, she wouldn't have just rushed out and scolded him without considering the consequences. Later, when she got home and thought about it, she began to regret it. After all, she still had two and a half years of contractual marriage with the uncle, and he was also her mother-in-law.
It's so embarrassing that you can't see him when you look up or down.
Jun Mohan said with a smile: "You dare to make her cry, but you don't have the courage to eat with her. Little girl, am I overestimating you?"
"I didn't expect you to be so cowardly."
Wen Xin got anxious when she heard this, "Who is scared? It's just a meal. If she dares to insult me again, I can make her cry."
"That's great. No one can get the upper hand over my mom except grandma."
That night, Xiao Han knocked on Zhang Guodong's door.
The door was opened by the mother-in-law. Ever since she found out that the mother and son liked to sleep together, Xiao Han simply turned a blind eye to them and slept in the guest room by herself.
Wang Qiang, wearing pink silk pajamas, blocked the door and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to talk to Guodong. Mom, can you please step aside first?"
"Is there anything you can't say in front of my mother?" Zhang Guodong came out shirtless while playing games.
Xiao Han said: "My parents are here, aren't you two afraid that my parents will find out that you are sleeping together?"
"Who dares to stop me from sleeping with my son?"
Xiao's mother, who had just gotten up to drink water, heard this and yelled, "Fuck, Xiao Han, what did your mother-in-law mean by that?"
"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Get up and drink some water. The floor mat is making me uncomfortable. I didn't expect to hear your mother-in-law sleeping with your husband. Tsk tsk! You have lost your dignity."
"Who is shameless, Xiao Han's mother, isn't it normal for me to sleep with my son?"
Xiao's mother was not a pushover. She grew up in the countryside and was used to being a shrew. She couldn't hold back her words when she caught something. She slapped her old face and stuck out her butt and said, "My dear mother-in-law, how old is your son? Do you think he is wearing open-crotch pants? Isn't it shameful? An old married man is sleeping with an old woman. If you are not ashamed, I am ashamed too."
"Do you even have to help him take a bath?"
Xiao Han hurriedly pulled her mother, "Mom, stop talking and go to bed."
"I'm telling you, Wang Qiang, my daughter may be timid and cowardly, but I'm not a coward. If you know what's good for you, move her out to sleep with me. If you dare to get between my daughter and son-in-law, I'll make you pay and I'll make a scene for everyone in the world."
Wang Qiang's face flushed with shame. "If you dare, come out now, and get out of here right away. Don't stay in my house and ask my son to support you."
"It's his responsibility to support me, but it's not okay for you to sleep inside. It's disgusting."
Xiao Han pushed her mother away, and was glared at by her mother-in-law. After watching Wang Qiang leave, Xiao Han took a deep breath and went into the bedroom. Seeing the man who was playing games without moving, she said in a deep voice, "I have something to discuss with you."
"Then tell me," Zhang Guodong responded unhappily and put down his phone.
Xiao Han sat down and accidentally saw the red strawberry on his chest. She asked coldly, "What is that?"
Zhang Guodong looked in the direction of her hand, quickly pulled up his clothes to cover the strawberry, and said calmly, "It was caused by scraping yesterday."
"Don't you dislike scraping?"
"That was in the past. It's been very humid lately so I only shaved once. If you have something to say, just tell me."
Xiao Han then asked, "How are you going to arrange things for my parents?"
"You also know that they are your parents. What does it have to do with me? Get them out of here right away. I won't support them if they just stay here and eat and do nothing. By the way, I'll deduct the money they spent on their meals from your salary this month."
Xiao Han was so angry that she opened her mouth slightly, and after a long time she said, "Do you want to divorce me?"
Her words made Zhang Guodong feel uneasy. After all, he did have this idea, but he wanted to wait until the child was about one year old and weaned before kicking her out and letting Jia Jia come in. Then there would be someone to help take care of the child.
When he thought of that charming woman, and then thought of the bloated, traditional woman lying on the bed like a dead fish, he lost interest.
