Chapter 424 Physiological Aversion
Shen Zhixia paused for a moment before saying, "But he's willing to marry you, so he must really like you."
Actually, it's quite normal when you think about it.
Jiang Wu has gone through such a big ordeal, and yet a man is still willing to marry her and take on her mess. This suggests that the man probably has some flaws, such as being a bit old.
Jiang Wu's tone was full of sarcasm: "He has a daughter who also works in the factory. That daughter is older than me. If it were before, I would never have married a man like that, but I really have no choice. He wants to marry me just to find a young girl to have a son."
It's all quite funny, really. She was so young and beautiful, and could have had such a bright future, but now she's made such a mess of her life.
Sometimes, she herself felt helpless.
She never liked older men in the first place.
But that old man was indeed able to protect her.
But what's the use?
She felt a complete physical aversion to that man.
That's why she hasn't gotten pregnant; she doesn't want to have a son with that kind of man.
Thinking of this, she asked Shen Zhixia, "You said you had a child, was it a son or a daughter?"
Shen Zhixia said, "They are twins, a boy and a girl."
Thinking of her two mischievous children at home, her gaze softened considerably.
When she came out alone, she actually felt quite good, without her two children chattering in her ear. But now, she felt like she was starting to miss her children.
Humans are such strange creatures.
Normally, she finds having two children around incredibly annoying and wishes they would leave. Now, all she remembers are their cuteness, and she automatically ignores all the nasty things they did.
"That's wonderful, having both a son and a daughter. Your husband must be very happy. No wonder he treats you so well. If I had a son, my husband would treat me very well too," Jiang Wu murmured.
She lowered her eyes, sighed, and said, "But I don't want to have a child. The thought of having a child with that kind of man makes me feel disgusted. You're amazing to be able to do this."
Shen Zhixia: "?"
She felt that Jiang Wu's way of speaking was really strange, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.
She said, "I love my child very much, and it was my own choice to have the child. If I didn't want to have the child, no one could force me."
That's really strange.
She didn't have the child for Huo Chenzhou; the child was her own. Although she didn't particularly like children, she didn't dislike them either.
She thought the two children were adorable and brought her a lot of joy and laughter.
Jiang Wu frowned and said, "You're with your husband because you're forced, aren't you? I remember you even threatened to divorce him before, but you compromised later. Wasn't that because you had no other choice?"
The Shen family has already fallen, and no one is there to stand up for Shen Zhixia. Therefore, Shen Zhixia has no confidence to divorce. She can only live with Huo Chenzhou. Although Huo Chenzhou is from the countryside and has no education, he has a good family background and is a military officer, so he can indeed protect Shen Zhixia.
But Chen Zhixia was the same as her; they both liked intellectuals with witty remarks.
Shen Zhixia said, "I've explained it so many times, but you just won't listen to me. I've said it before, I love my husband, that's why I'm with him. Otherwise, no matter what happens, I will leave him."
"No one can decide my life unless it's all my own choice."
Jiang Wu: "..."
Before, she would have thought Shen Zhixia was bragging, but Shen Zhixia's tone was very serious, and she still looked so young, which showed that she was doing very well. If life had been difficult, she wouldn't have such smooth skin and such a good complexion.
Importantly, Shen Zhixia's eyes still shone brightly; she was radiant and spoke with confidence.
Jiang Wu tentatively asked, "So, you're working in a factory now because your husband dislikes you for not earning enough money, which is why he made you work?"
“Of course not,” Shen Zhixia said calmly. “I asked to go to work myself. If I didn’t go to work, I would stay at home raising the child, and I don’t want to live that kind of life.”
Jiang Wu didn't know what to say.
She actually wanted to be a housewife; she thought it was such a wonderful thing, not having to do anything all day but just staying at home. However, her husband didn't want to support someone who lived off her, so he found her this job.
After she started working, her monthly income had to go towards household expenses, and she didn't have much savings at all.
But every word Chen Zhixia said was beyond her expectations.
Some people even volunteer to go to work?
She didn't understand.
She tried to find a reason for Shen Zhixia's lie, but Shen Zhixia's eyes were clear and innocent, indicating that everything she said was the truth.
Jiang Wu's eyes flickered. She realized that she had been wrong before. She thought she could find some comfort in Shen Zhixia because they were the same kind of people with the same experiences, but she found that it was never like that at all.
She and Shen Zhixia lived completely different lives.
Older men are hard to please. After she got together with an older man, she became much older and more haggard. Even though she was only in her twenties, she looked like she was forty.
That's ridiculous.
She felt sad about her life.
Shen Zhixia, however, was not like that.
Despite all that has happened to her, she is still so beautiful and captivating.
why is that?
This only shows that she is doing really, really well.
The two still couldn't connect, but Jiang Wu didn't have many friends either. In the end, she invited Shen Zhixia to go shopping together, but Shen Zhixia declined.
Jiang Wu's eyes were filled with disappointment. The two used to be best friends, but now they seemed very distant.
In the end, Shen Zhixia only escorted Jiang Wu for a short distance before returning home.
There's no way around it.
Jiang Wu was once a very good friend of the original owner, but that only applies to the original owner.
She wasn't familiar with Jiang Wu, and she couldn't maintain a particularly good relationship with someone she didn't know well. This was all she could do.
Only if you treat Jiang Wu as an ordinary friend, you'll know that you both have different lives. Now that she's in Shanghai, you can get along well with Jiang Wu. But once she leaves, perhaps the two will go back to not contacting each other.
After Jiang Wu left, her expression was very heavy.
She originally thought that this time she could get closer to Shen Zhixia and that the two of them could support each other.
Most importantly, she thought she could find comfort in Shen Zhixia.
