Chapter 111 Human Heart
As I walked to the entrance of the vegetable market after buying the groceries, I heard a voice of disgust, "You were delayed for so long just to buy vegetables. It's really useless."
"There are too many people inside. It will be the same even if you go in." Liu Ming looked embarrassed and subconsciously made an excuse.
"You are not good at anything, yet you still dare to make excuses. Liu Ming, you have been fired from the factory. Now you are relying on me for food and drink, and you still dare to contradict me. You can't tell the difference between the big and small kings, right?"
Cao Yingzi stood at the entrance of the vegetable market pushing her bicycle, looking at Liu Ming with disdain.
Looking at this strange couple, Dai Qing was surprised. It had only been such a short time since they last met, but they had already changed drastically.
It was also a white shirt, but it hadn’t been washed for more than a few days, and there was an obvious stain on the collar. He exuded a sense of decadence and listlessness. The high spirits he once had were long gone.
It just looks more sloppy at this time.
Liu Ming's face turned red and his neck became thick after Cao Yingzi rudely exposed his scars in public. He pursed his lips tightly but did not dare to say a word.
"You have to face the reality. Now I am the only one who is willing to support you. Even your mother probably doesn't want to see you. If you don't believe me, why don't you go home and stay for two days and try?"
Listening to Cao Yingzi's merciless ridicule, Liu Ming wanted to find a hole to crawl into. But thinking of his parents and brother's attitude, his heart sank. He didn't need to live at home to know his mother's attitude.
After hearing that he was fired from the factory, his parents came to question him immediately. Not only did they not show any concern, but they also made him feel very angry.
"Are you crazy? You can lose a good job. Your sister hasn't found a suitable job yet, but you have lost it in the blink of an eye. Do you know how difficult our family's life is? I originally wanted you to help, but now it's better. You are about to drink the northwest wind yourself."
"Why is my life so miserable? Everyone is a worry to me. You have ruined my good life..."
His mother cried, his father sighed, and his younger brothers and sisters looked disgusted, which made his eyes hurt.
After crying for a while, his mother pulled his arm and said,
"Since it has come to this, you should live a good life with Yingzi. After all, the Cao family is doing well and you will not be short of food. This proves that your mother's decision was right. If it were someone else, no family would support you to eat idle meals."
"Brother, live a good life with sister-in-law in the future, and we will not cause you any more trouble...Sister-in-law has a bad temper, so you must not provoke her." His younger brother Liu Wei looked at him and advised him with concern.
"Your mother and your brother are right. Let's get by first and then slowly find a job. Being a part-time worker is not bad." Father Liu put out his cigarette, sighed, and made the decision.
Hearing his family members acting as if they were thinking about him, he found it extremely ironic and roared with his fists clenched.
"If you hadn't accepted the Cao family's things just for your own sake and forced me to marry Cao Yingzi, I wouldn't have come to this point today."
"Brother, look at what you said. Isn't that like stabbing our mother in the heart? The Cao family has good conditions. If you marry my sister-in-law, you will not only have a big house to live in, but also all the furniture and appliances. Our family does not have the conditions to prepare these things for us brothers."
Liu Wei looked at him with condemnation in his eyes.
"You know how hard it has been for our parents these past few years. I don't feel good because I don't have the ability like my elder brother."
"Wuwu... Ming, I know you feel bad, and I feel pain too, but there is nothing we can do about it. It's fate after all, and we all have to accept it."
Looking at the family that once loved each other, he weakly dropped his arms and slumped his shoulders, wanting only to send them away.
"Hey, Ming, I heard that you spent all the money you picked up on a lot of nice things. Especially that watch, I heard it's a famous brand. Anyway, you won't need it in the future, and your brother is getting married soon, so why don't you give it to him?"
Hearing this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. Looking at the expectant eyes of his family, he couldn't help but smile.
"...Just go away and stop hurting me." It was not until this moment that he realized how terrifying it was when someone was partial to someone.
His mother was unwilling to give in and wanted to say something, but was stopped by his father, who pulled her away.
Regarding his family's attitude, he just felt cold sweat all over his body and his eyes turned black. He was very confused, wondering how it had come to this.
Now he has nothing and everyone can make fun of him.
This day is so fucking shit.
Dai Qing looked at Liu Ming following Cao Yingzi in a daze and curled her lips speechlessly.
As the saying goes, "If you don't do something, you will die." Things will change over time. Let him have a taste of being despised.
Cheng Hao followed her gaze, his eyes flickered and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He just likes the ruthless nature of the kid.
Liu Ming's method was extremely despicable. He could only deceive the young girls in the factory who had never seen the world. He wanted to act big and powerful in front of the children, and this was the result.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention Liu Ming's matter. They returned home carrying the vegetable basket. Dai Qing tied on an apron, picked up a spoon, and started cooking.
An egg tomato, a shrimp skin tofu, a braised fish, a serving of seaweed egg drop soup, and a bunch of grapes as after-meal fruit.
After finishing the three dishes and one soup, both of them were very satisfied.
Cheng Hao was in charge of washing the dishes. Afterwards, the two of them sat under the grape trellis, talking and chatting like old friends, very casually.
It was not until eight o'clock that Cheng Hao left with two bunches of grapes.
Dai Qing took a bath, played with Xiao Hei for a while, and then practiced martial arts boxing in the yard. Afterwards, she went back to the house to continue practicing her mental skills.
The next day, early shift,
Dai Qing went to the workshop early and went to the tool box to prepare the tools for the next shift.
"Xiao Qing, I came to visit you yesterday, but you weren't home when I knocked on the door?" Mao Yanyan, wearing a sanitary cap, was adjusting her apron. When she saw Dai Qing, she immediately came over and spoke with regret.
"I went out yesterday, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Dai Qing was surprised. She didn't expect Mao Yanyan would actually come to find her.
"It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it doesn't matter. I went shopping with my friends and bought a new long-sleeved shirt." Mao Yanyan said happily, "When it gets a little colder, I'll wear it for you to see."
"Good, you're tall, and you look good in anything you wear." Dai Qing complimented. It's true, Mao Yanyan has a really nice personality.
As soon as I took over the shift, I started to get busy. The production task today was high, and I only turned off the computer and cleaned when it was almost time to get off work. I had no time to rest or chat.
The workload was a bit heavy, so Dai Qing went home after get off work and quickly took a hot shower. She lay down to rest for a while before getting up to buy groceries.
After dinner, Dai Qing ate an apple and then took a basket, cut two bunches of grapes, picked up a few apples and oranges, and went to Aunt Wang's house.
The old lady was very kind to her. People should be grateful.
