Jiang Chao thought about it for a long time, and finally touched his nose and walked towards Liu Chunhua, "Don't be busy yet, come out and talk to us."
"What do you want to talk about?" Liu Chunhua was still holding a spatula in her hand, and she stirred the pot twice while speaking.
Jiang Chao felt that his words were not taken seriously, and he became impatient for a moment. He stepped forward to grab the spatula and threw it aside. "I told you to stop, so stop. Why don't you understand what I'm saying?"
He originally wanted to throw the spatula back onto the stove, but he didn't manage to control the strength enough, and the spatula hit the edge of the stove and fell directly to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Liu Chunhua hurriedly picked up the spatula and put it in the basin to rinse it clean.
"It's all because of you. I told you to come out but you didn't. Who can you blame?" Jiang Chao was still being stubborn. Liu Chunhua had lost her patience. It was time for dinner. Even if Jiang Chao didn't want to eat, she and the child would have to eat something.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here. I'm busy right now and don't have time to go out."
"Hey, you stinky woman!" He subconsciously wanted to get angry again, but when he thought of what he was going to say, he forced himself to hold back his anger. "Okay, I can't control you now, so it's okay to talk here. I just want to ask you, don't you have any thoughts on what happened at home recently?"
"Ideas?" Liu Chunhua could have ideas. Aren't all the good and bad things caused by Jiang Chao alone?
But Jiang Ruyi didn't think so. Based on her many years of experience in the novel world, Jiang Chao seemed to be seeking peace.
Sure enough, seeing that Liu Chunhua didn't react, Jiang Chao simply approached her and said, "We have been married for so many years, and I don't want to make our lives too difficult. We are all responsible for what happened in the past, but as long as you promise not to run away from home from now on and work honestly in the factory, I will forgive you for the past, how about that?"
"Of course, I still have to take care of the money. I'll give you some pocket money every month. This is something other women in the village can't even think about!"
Liu Chunhua was so angry that she laughed. What did they mean by "everyone is responsible for what happened in the past"? Didn't Jiang Chao miss this family and deliberately make trouble? Also, if she went back to work in the factory and got his salary, what difference would that make from her previous life?
Not to mention that Liu Chunhua, who had experienced all of this, didn't believe it at all. Even if she hadn't experienced it, she knew under the influence of Jiang Ruyi that she couldn't entrust her hopes to a man.
Asking her to give up her business and gamble that Jiang Chao would return to the family and stop messing around was too risky a risk she didn't dare to take, nor did she want to take.
"If this is all you want to talk about, then there is nothing more for us to talk about. I have already said that I will not return to the factory, but it is you who is pestering me to go back." Liu Chunhua turned her head and was about to walk out.
Jiang Chao stepped forward to stop her, "Stop right there! Liu Chunhua, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Liu Chunhua looked at him. In fact, when she heard Ruyi say that Jiang Chao came to seek peace, she felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.
I hope Jiang Chao really realizes his mistake, because he still has her and this family in his heart, so he comes to say nice things to her.
But she didn't expect that his so-called peace talks would be based on sacrificing her interests.
"Jiang Chao, I don't ask you to make money to support the family. I just ask you not to interfere with what I want to do. Whether you can accept it or not, I will never set foot in this factory again."
"Liu Chunhua!" Jiang Chao was furious, his face surging with anger. He raised his hand and pretended to slap her. Jiang Ruyi was so scared that she shouted in her heart, "Run!"
Liu Chunhua didn't move, just tilted her head up, her black and white eyes were crystal clear, and she made it impossible for Jiang Chao to hit her.
"Okay, okay, I finally understand. You don't want this family to be well at all, Liu Chunhua. If you don't come back to the factory, I will just pretend that you don't exist!" He kicked the basin away, and the splashing water sprayed on Jiang Ruyi's face, even blurring her eyes.
【Ahem, this old bastard. 】
Jiang Ruyi was cursing, and Liu Chunhua hurried over to wipe the water off her face. After her vision became clear again, Jiang Ruyi could see the sadness in Liu Chunhua's eyes.
【How did you.....】
"What your father said just now is probably an ultimatum to me. If I don't listen to him, he won't even come back to this house in the future."
Jiang Ruyi was stunned. Is this what he meant?
[If you don't want to reply, then don't reply. A man like this will be a burden to you sooner or later. If he thinks it through and is willing to take the initiative to divorce, that would be even better.]
Liu Chunhua didn't say anything. She picked up the hay and stuffed it into the stove. But Jiang Ruyi, looking at her back, always felt that Liu Chunhua was somewhat sad at this moment.
But the best way to heal a broken heart is...
Jiang Ruyi thought of the man in the book who felt guilty about Liu Chunhua and never married. If only he could appear...
"Ruyi, what did you say? What do you mean by never marrying?"
[Ah, nothing, I was just saying that.] Jiang Ruyi raised her face and showed a harmless smile, but what she was thinking was, [I don’t know where that person is now, so let’s not let her know for the time being.]
Liu Chunhua tightened her grip on the hay. Could it be that there was really a man in this world who would never marry because of her? Who was that man, and why did he feel guilty about her?
Liu Chunhua was full of questions. She always felt that what Ruyi said was like two different worlds from hers. In the world she was in now, poverty, struggle and contradictions permeated her entire life.
Perhaps because she was worrying too much, Liu Chunhua fell ill.
The illness kept Jiang Ruyi bedridden for three days. She was so anxious that she had to walk on her own short legs to find a doctor. Just as she was about to go out, she was seen by Jiang Zhize who had returned from somewhere.
"What are you doing!" Jiang Zhize was terrified. In his eyes, Jiang Ruyi was just a half-year-old child, how could she walk by herself?
Jiang Ruyi was anxious and pointed to the inner room, "Mom, she's sick."
"Ah?" Jiang Zhize was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean mom is sick?"
Jiang Ruyi nodded frantically, and Jiang Zhize immediately carried her into the house. Seeing Liu Chunhua lying there with a pale face, he hurried over.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Where's Dad? Why isn't he at home to take care of you?"
[Ask, ask, ask. If you ask any more, people will get confused! ]
Jiang Ruyi thought he was being long-winded, so she pulled Jiang Zhize and said, "Hurry up, go."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Jiang Zhize didn't dare to delay and ran away. He first went to the health center to find a young doctor, and then went to look for Jiang Chao.
After all, my mother is so seriously ill, how can my father, as a husband, not be there to take care of her?
But when he found Jiang Chao, all he got was four words: "It's none of my business."
