Chapter 24 Xizhi's Family
Regarding the issue of her mother's family, Xizhi thought for a moment and said:
"My mother's family is also from the countryside. My parents have rather conservative ideas. So, in order to have a son, I was sent to live with my aunt when I was five years old. I think they gave me living expenses, maybe five or ten yuan a month? I'm not sure about that.
Later, when I was eighteen, I started working part-time after I was admitted to high school to earn money for college tuition, and then I started working.
Because my aunt's family has two sons, their life is not very rich. I understand this, so after I started working, I tried my best to help the family financially.
The person who called me just now was my sister-in-law. We don't interact much normally. I will only go back to help when there is something. With a mother-in-law like that, you can imagine how much scolding I will get when I go back to my parents' home to help!
Oh, life is so hard, but after I left my husband’s house, I felt much better during the two days I stayed in the hotel. I feel that I am still young and can work hard. Maybe I will do live streaming to sell goods in the future. I wonder if my family members support me?
Whether you support me or not, I will do this. In fact, my ideal when I was a child was to be a salesperson. I think salespeople in stores are very happy. Have you ever played shopping games when you were a child?
I like playing it very much. Now if there are children playing with me, I am very willing to play this game..."
Two hours passed quickly.
After turning off the live broadcast, Xizhi called her sister-in-law Liu Hongrui.
"Sister-in-law, I just finished the live broadcast."
"I saw it. Xizhi, what do you mean? You're indirectly saying that my mother's family is not good!"
Zhu Hongrui said in a bad tone.
"Sister-in-law, I'm just telling the truth. The neighbors all know what's going on in our family. And I didn't mention anything else. I didn't mention helping you take care of the children and taking care of your brother in the hospital, and that it wouldn't affect your work. Don't be so sensitive, sister-in-law."
Zhu Hongrui was furious: "We are all family, you help me and I help you, why do you have to bring up such a small matter every time?"
Xizhi pursed her lips, not wanting to continue this topic.
"Are you home, sister-in-law? I'm going home tomorrow. Please tell my parents for me."
"I'm at work. You can call and tell me yourself. By the way, are you in Haicheng now?"
"yes!"
"Dad loves Wangji drunken crabs, and Mom loves steamed Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. It's more authentic and convenient to buy them there, so why not buy some and bring them back for Mom and Dad?"
Xizhi took a deep breath. Her sister-in-law was really rude.
"good!"
Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, Liu Hongrui's anger dissipated a little.
After hanging up the phone, Xizhi called her adoptive mother.
"Mom, I'm going back tomorrow. Is there anything you want me to bring back?"
"Zhizhi, are you coming back? Are you coming back alone?"
“Yes, Shen Shuchen and I have completed the divorce procedures. Although we still have to wait for a month’s divorce cooling-off period, if nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to get the divorce certificate next month.”
The aunt on the other end of the phone sighed: "Let's get a divorce. Just get a divorce. Zhizhi, you won't leave the house empty-handed, right?"
"No, he divided the property in half, but he won't fulfill it easily. Mom, I'll go over there tomorrow and we'll talk about it."
"Okay, when you're almost there, tell mom and she'll make you something delicious."
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Zhizhi, are you in Haicheng now?"
"Yeah."
"Then bring Zhuangzhuang some Ma Ji braised pork elbow when you come back. Zhuangzhuang loves it. And also the sweet-skin duck that your sister-in-law loves."
"good."
They are really an enviable pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They always think about each other, but she is the one who pays.
The next morning at 7:30, Xizhi packed herself up, put on a backpack and went downstairs to have breakfast.
When she arrived, Song Meimei was already at the restaurant door.
Xizhi swiped her card and the two of them entered the restaurant. They each took two large plates of delicious food, sat down and started eating.
"Zhizhi, what activities do you have today?"
Yan Xizhi: "After breakfast, I'm going to go shopping and then go to the station to go back to my parents' home."
Song Meimei: "Oh, I watched your live broadcast yesterday, and your sister-in-law called you. How is your relationship?"
Xizhi smiled and said, "Let it be. After all, it's not a kiss, so I always feel like there's a layer between us."
Song Meimei expressed her understanding: "What about your biological parents? Didn't they think of taking you back?"
Xizhi shook her head: "I don't want to go back either. In fact, my biological parents are well off. I remember when I was in middle school, they still ran a factory. At that time, they didn't want to take me back. Instead, I was admitted to university and their factory could no longer operate. Then they remembered me, their biological daughter.
At that time, they wanted me to marry the son of a friend of my biological father. The bride price was very high, but the man was autistic and had violent tendencies..."
Song Meimei's eyes almost popped out of her head when she heard this: "Fuck, these are my biological parents?"
Xizhi nodded: "Yes, so compared to them, they are not as good as my adoptive parents. Although they have some small calculations, they raised me up anyway, which is better than throwing me to human traffickers or selling me to the mountains to be someone's wife.
I am very grateful to my adoptive parents for this." However, amidst too much calculation, this gratitude is gradually disappearing.
"Alas, the most unbreakable thing in this world is family. If you say you want to break up, there is still this friendship. If you say you don't want to break up, the big and small things will make you angry to death."
Xizhi nodded in agreement, it was indeed true.
When they were almost done eating, Xizhi used Song Meimei's thermos to get a cup of hot soy milk, took two boxes of yogurt, and a plate of bread, ham, lettuce and cheese. She made two big sandwiches, wrapped them in napkins, and put them in a handbag.
Song Meimei was stunned by Xizhi's actions.
"Xizhi, what are you doing?"
"Lunch, I ate on the high-speed train at noon. That crappy lunch box cost thirty-five and wasn't very tasty. Your lunch is taken care of. You have to be frugal in life, save when you can and spend when you should."
Song Meimei blushed as she went out with Xizhi, fearing that they would be stopped and questioned.
However, Xizhi came out of the store calmly and calmly without any accidents.
"Xizhi, you are so awesome."
"Hey, they all turned a blind eye to such a small thing, but if it was too exaggerated, it wouldn't work."
Song Meimei had nothing to do in the morning, so she went shopping with Xizhi.
Xizhi bought four large handbags full of things and took a taxi directly to the high-speed railway station.
When we arrived at my aunt's house, it was already past one o'clock.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Today is Tuesday. Everyone has gone to work or school, and only Yan Fang and Yao Guangjun are at home.
"Xizhi is back, come in quickly."
Yan Fang took the bags from Xizhi's hands and smiled widely.
"You kid, you just came back and bought so many things. How much did it cost?"
Xizhi: “…”
Didn’t you and your mother-in-law ask me to buy it?
