Ding Haowen looked at Li Yan in front of him and a hint of pleasure appeared on his face.
"Li Yan, you're absolutely right! I really don't like it when people make jokes like that to me. I don't find them funny at all."
Moreover, Ding Haowen felt that Li Yuzhu's condition was no joke.
Recently, family and financial matters have been putting a lot of pressure on Ding Haowen.
He seemed to have found an outlet, venting and sharing his troubles with Li Yan.
Li Yuzhu stared longingly at the door from inside the house. When she heard a noise, she instinctively got up to go and see.
She thought it was Ding Haowen who had returned, but when she saw it was her mother, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Li Sumei put down her basket and came in.
She was fanning herself with a fan and drank a large bowl of water as soon as she entered the room because of the heat.
"The weather is really unpredictable. It was a bit cold a couple of days ago, but it's very hot today."
Haicheng gets hot very early every year; you could say there's no spring. It starts getting hot as soon as spring arrives, and it gets even hotter in the summer.
Li Sumei glanced at her daughter and noticed that Li Yuzhu was sullen. She paused in fanning herself.
What's wrong with you?
Li Yuzhu was very unhappy. She told Li Sumei about her suspicions and her argument with Ding Haowen.
Li Sumei frowned. "You silly child, you must always show your gentle, considerate, and understanding side to Ding Haowen. Men all like their ideal woman, but if your ideal woman becomes like a tomboy, why would he still like you?"
Li Yuzhu subconsciously felt that her mother was right. She looked down at the fat on her stomach, her expression changing inscrutable.
She gained 30 pounds since becoming pregnant and giving birth.
I still gained weight after giving birth.
The body shape before and after pregnancy is very different.
Li Yuzhu always thought she wasn't fat, until today when she took out her old clothes and realized she couldn't fit into them anymore.
She suddenly realized that she had gained a lot of weight.
I can't help but wonder, if I get fat, will Ding Haowen dislike me in the future?
Li Yuzhu had been lost in thought, but after hearing her mother's words, she suddenly understood.
When Li Sumei saw that Li Yuzhu's expression had changed, she knew that Li Yuzhu had taken her words to heart.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Where is your mother-in-law?"
Li Yuzhu snorted coldly, "Who knows?"
Ever since Li Shufang started using a wheelchair, she has never given her a kind look.
Li Yuzhu didn't care about her; she was in postpartum confinement, and it wasn't her who was taking care of Li Shufang. If her mother-in-law didn't take care of her during her postpartum confinement, she wouldn't take care of her mother-in-law in the future either.
Li Sumei sneered, "She always had such an arrogant attitude, now she's paralyzed and is dragging you down with her."
Li Yuzhu didn't want to talk about Li Shufang; the older generation's affairs were none of her business.
She called out helplessly, "Mom..."
Li Sumei pursed her lips, knowing that her daughter didn't like to hear these things, so she stopped talking.
Li Yuzhu asked Li Sumei to keep an eye on Ding Haowen when she had free time, and Li Sumei readily agreed.
When it was time for dinner, Li Sumei noticed that Ding Haowen was late arriving home.
Her sharp eyes scrutinized Ding Haowen from head to toe. Ding Haowen felt uncomfortable under her gaze, and he frowned slightly, trying to suppress his discomfort.
If he weren't currently broke, and if his family didn't need Li Sumei to cook and take care of Yuzhu...
He would never tolerate this old woman acting so arrogantly at home every day.
Ding Haowen has submitted his resume to other places, but has not received any replies yet.
I don't know when he'll reply to my message...
Just then, I got a phone call from home.
Ding Haowen answered the phone and was very excited after hearing the other party introduce themselves.
However, the next second, the smile on his face froze, the phone was hung up, but the other person's words echoed in his mind.
"Mr. Ding, we have reviewed your resume. After careful consideration, we feel that you do not meet our company's requirements. We hope you can find a job you like."
The words echoed incessantly in his mind like a curse.
Seeing Ding Haowen looking so lost, Li Yuzhu couldn't help but ask him something.
"Haowen? What's wrong?"
If it weren't a landline phone, and you could hear the other person's voice, Li Yuzhu would wonder if Ding Haowen was having an affair and that it was that person calling.
She had rarely seen Ding Haowen so distraught.
Ding Haowen said in a low voice, "It's nothing."
Although the other party politely declined, Ding Haowen had a gut feeling.
The reason his employer wouldn't hire him was probably because of the Chen family.
Chen Jiayi, do you really have to be so heartless?
The library in Haicheng is said to have been built with funding from an elderly gentleman from a scholarly family.
There are many books here; whatever you want to read, the library has it.
Chen Jiayi took out the book she had been reading and walked to a spot on the side.
She arrived early today; the library wasn't crowded yet.
For some reason, Chen Jiayi always felt a little itchy in her nose.
She rubbed her nose hard, trying not to sneeze.
In rural areas, people generally say that this situation usually means someone is badmouthing her behind her back.
Chen Jiayi thought for a moment, and apart from Ding Haowen, she really couldn't think of anyone else who would talk badly about her behind her back.
Oh no, Li Yan, who asked her to arrange a job that day, is probably badmouthing her behind her back.
But it shouldn't be that bad, right?
Chen Jiayi scoffed softly and lowered her head to concentrate on reading.
She was reading and taking notes at the same time.
It's a pity she didn't see the first batch of exam papers after the resumption of the college entrance examination, otherwise she could have memorized the answers.
Chen Jiayi's eyes are always open when she starts studying! She'll study until she dies, as long as it doesn't kill her.
Although she knew she didn't need to work so hard, having experienced her past life, she felt that by enriching herself, she could avoid many things.
Suddenly, someone sat down opposite Chen Jiayi, and looked at Chen Jiayi with a smile.
Chen Jiayi felt a gaze on her. She looked up and saw that it was the girl she had shared a seat with at the library that day.
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes; she hadn't expected to run into him today.
The two smiled at each other and continued reading without disturbing each other.
Li Mo had to go home on time; she needed to go home early to cook for her husband.
Seeing that Chen Jiayi was still quietly reading, Li Mo left a note for her.
Chen Jiayi only discovered the note after she got tired of reading.
The note read: It was nice to meet you. I'll be going now and won't bother you any longer. See you next time if we have the chance.
Chen Jiayi laughed out loud and tilted her head.
This girl is quite interesting.
Immediately, Chen Jiayi stared at the problem that was troubling her written in her notebook and couldn't help but think of Song Zhiyan.
Not knowing when the teacher would return, Chen Jiayi had a few questions she didn't understand and was eager to get the answers, but Song Zhiyan wasn't there, so she didn't know who to ask for help.
Looking at the gloomy weather outside, Chen Jiayi felt hot, but also had a feeling that it was going to rain heavily soon.
She returned the book and prepared to go home.
Chen Jiayi had just gotten into the car when it started raining.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Chen Jiayi couldn't help but sigh.
"Uncle Long, luckily I got on the bus early, otherwise I would have been soaked to the bone."
