Chapter 121
Mrs. Liang's daughter got engaged a few days ago, and Wang Jiazhi wasn't eligible to attend. I wonder what the situation was like. But judging by how much jewelry Mrs. Liang has been wearing these days, it must be the jewelry she bought for the engagement party. Since she bought it, she naturally couldn't just wear it once. She's been very happy these past few days. I heard the family her daughter is engaged to is more expensive than theirs.
Because of this incident, even if he usually takes Mrs. Yi's feelings into consideration, he can't avoid mentioning his children's marriage.
Mrs. Yi thought, if they had children, with their current power, many people would come to propose marriage. She longed for the joy of being able to choose her daughter-in-law and son-in-law as she pleased.
Wang Jiazhi had no interest in their conversation and couldn't join in. She had only ever been pregnant, and had never considered what it would be like for her child to grow up and get married. Moreover, she herself had never been married before; marriage was a mysterious and impossible event for her.
Wang Jiazhi was playing mahjong, and the bracelets on her hands were jingling softly.
She deliberately waited until Mrs. Yi had worn her bracelet flauntingly for a few days before she dared to wear it out.
She couldn't not wear it, especially since he chose it and it wasn't hers. If she didn't wear it, she didn't know if he would think too much and get upset.
It was the first time she wore it today, and Mrs. Yi was obviously unhappy and pretended not to see it. Mrs. Liang also had to pretend not to see it.
Mrs. Ma, contrary to her usual behavior, started talking more to her and praised her highly.
Mrs. Ma was making fun of Mrs. Yi for letting a wolf into the house.
Mrs. Yi talked about a mistress of the ** over there who went crazy after being locked up.
It wasn't crazy, actually. ** was a playboy, with several in the government office alone. Once the novelty wore off, he'd just leave them. This one was the longest-lasting, two or three years. I don't know if it was out of love or just a desire to stay with him, but she kept pestering him, and ** got angry and locked her up. After finally releasing her a few years later, she came back and got him locked up again.
Wang Jiazhi heard that ** had another girlfriend, but she wasn't sure if she was willing. She couldn't resist him. He'd grown tired of playing around and found someone new, and she'd wisely gone abroad to study. ** was pleased with her sensible behavior and gave her a generous sum of money, which the girl couldn't resist. She took the money, found a younger boyfriend abroad, and never returned.
When Mrs. Ma mentioned Zhou**'s family affairs, Mrs. Liang said angrily, "They say that people get more confused as they get older."
Mrs. Yi said, "His wife couldn't stand him being like this. She called several people over and smashed the house to pieces. She almost beat the person who was trying to tie them up to death. If he didn't agree anymore, the relationship would be severed."
Listening to the proud expressions on the faces of these ladies, it seemed as if they were the ones being talked about.
In reality, Zhou and his mistress didn't actually separate because of his wife's tantrum. His current wife wasn't his first marriage either. He had already married and had a son and a daughter back home long before. He met his current wife while studying. She was the daughter of a wealthy family, and a poor boy like him certainly wasn't a good match, especially since he already had a wife and children back home. Her family refused to consent, so he eloped with her and went abroad, suffering greatly. They were a couple from humble beginnings, and Zhou was deeply grateful for their support, both emotionally and morally.
Zhou was very philandering, but because he was never sincere, his wife pretended to be confused. But this time, for some reason, he fell in love with an actor at first sight, and loved him madly and could not bear to part with him.
Of course his wife wouldn't allow it, and there was a huge commotion. He finally managed to trick her into saying they were done, and she believed him. But they hadn't broken up at all. Several years had passed, and perhaps because they were truly in love, they hadn't broken up.
Mrs. Yi said, "This person just can't be spoiled. The more you spoil him, the more confused he becomes."
He came in at that moment, having heard a few of the previous conversation. Mrs. Yi appeared calm on the surface, but she was a little flustered. Some things were too depressing, and her final thoughts were somewhat morbid. If Mrs. Yi had Mrs. Zhou's confidence, she would have wanted him to start a family outside so she could show off her power.
Old Yi didn't pay attention to what Mrs. Yi said. He thought to himself, as expected, he is not the only one who is stupid, Zhou is not the same.
I saw her stacking cards as seriously as a kitten, with a jingling twisted wire bracelet on her wrist.
What's more, mine must be better than his, which gives you even more reason to act stupidly.
