Chapter 417
Today's banquet was truly delicious. Mrs. Liao had truly splashed out on it this time; it was better than anything she usually treated guests to. Mrs. Liao was always afraid of losing face when she treated guests, so she refused to go to cheap places. But when she did go, she couldn't bear to spend, ordering cheap dishes at upscale places. As expected, she'd spend anything for her son. As for her daughter, she'd spank her and scold her at will.
Wang Jiazhi looked at the Liao sister, who was eating as if nothing had happened. She usually cared so much about her parents' opinions, but now she was slapped by her mother in front of so many people, especially her sister-in-law and her family. She acted like nothing happened, which showed she was used to it. Sigh!
At this time, a dish of orange juice pork ribs was served. It was delicious and came with orange pulp with the skin.
Xiao's elder sister said, "This is delicious. Their orange juice is squeezed from fresh oranges, not that kind of orange soda."
The Xiao family's younger sister and her elder sister whispered, "Look, it's not bad for me to do it here too."
Her sister said, "Their family is here. It would be beneath our dignity if we stayed here any longer."
At this time, Sister Xiao took out a new issue of the magazine and said with a smile, "The comics in this issue are also interesting."
She actually brought a magazine with her. She must have bought it before she left, read it in the car, and brought it with her. I haven't received the new issue yet.
Wang Jiazhi looked at the title of the cartoon: A Man's Life.
First, there's a cute little boy, curled up in a tank top, sleeping soundly like a curled-up kitten. Then, lying on his back, belly exposed like a kitten, a long-haired girl curled up in his arms, sleeping like a kitten, both snoring soundly. On his lap, a giant, also snoring, white dog rests. In the next photo, on the right, there's another beautiful, long-haired, soft-bodied girl, curled up in his arms like a cute kitten, with two more furry, curled-up kittens in her arms.
When she saw the author's name, it was just as she expected.
What a man's life. I have only lived with him for a few years. Who knows how he lived the rest of his life?
But he really slept like that. When he slept alone, he would curl up like a kitten and sleep on his side. He only slept like that because she snuggled into his arms.
He was also surprised. He had been sleeping like that since he was a child. He really couldn't fall asleep lying flat. But with her in his arms, he could only sleep like that. He actually fell asleep. It became second nature.
She was the same. She'd been curled up like a kitten since she was little, sleeping on her side. She couldn't sleep flat on her back. But when he nestled in her arms, she could actually fall asleep. Later, she was even more of a loser. When she missed him, she'd just lie flat on her back and sleep, as if he were in her arms. Especially when he ignored her, leaving her for days at a time, and she was so unresponsive. She even despised herself.
I once heard a saying: When you are in a relationship, one person acts like a hooligan first, and when you are in love, two people act like a jerk together.
She strongly disagreed with the first sentence. She somewhat agreed with the second sentence. She was moved, really...
Loving someone really makes you feel very low...
The little kitten, like the two of them, never sleeps with its belly exposed. It curls up in a ball and sleeps soundly.
Sister Xiao said, "So cute, he must be an interesting boy. He gets along very well with his wife and loves his daughter very much. He has so many pets at home."
Wang Jiazhi smiled inwardly and said, "It's not a little boy, it's your Uncle Yi."
She smiled and reached out her chopsticks to pick up some food, then saw the miserable look on Mrs. Liao's daughter's face. The words that she loved her daughter very much must have hurt her.
It was raining heavily outside, so the guests who wanted to leave early had to stay for now. Mrs. Liao was worried that the dishes on the table would take too long, so she ordered a few more dim sum dishes.
Mrs. Liao's daughter sneered, "No matter how much money is spent here, I'm willing to give it away." Then she muttered softly, "It's really a good sign to have a wedding raining heavily."
Wang Jiazhi then realized that none of Liao's sister's in-laws seemed to be there. At least the husband should be there for his brother-in-law's wedding, but now she had lost even the most basic dignity and sat with them. Her relatives from her mother's side were at the back tables, while Old Liao, Mrs. Liao, and her second daughter's in-laws were all chatting and laughing there, and she was all alone here. Her younger sister hadn't even come to see her.
Oh my god!
"Why didn't Mr. Gao come with you? No matter how angry the young couple is, it is a big day for your family after all." Mrs. Liang said.
Wang Jiazhi was frantic. Could he please stop bringing up irrelevant issues? Were they afraid that others were not feeling well enough?
The Liao family's elder sister said indifferently: "It's better if he doesn't come. If I don't see him, I can live a few more years."
"You can't say that..."
Xiao's elder sister interrupted him by saying something hurriedly.
The rain outside showed no sign of letting up, and everyone was too tired to eat. A few couldn't wait and decided to leave in the pouring rain. It must have been the cat they kept here, a chubby orange cat wandering around. When it came to them, the girls picked it up, played with it, and fed it. That's probably how it got fat.
The rain finally subsided, and the guests began to take their leave. Seeing them leaving, Mrs. Liao came over again, smiling, and repeatedly complained that she hadn't entertained them well enough.
Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "How could it not be thoughtful? It couldn't be more thoughtful. You must be very happy to marry your son-in-law."
Mrs. Ma pulled the red flower on her head and said, "This flower is very valuable."
Mrs. Liao didn't even look at her daughter, as if she didn't exist.
At other weddings, some young women would always take some of the flowers from the arrangements to add to the festive atmosphere. But at the Liao family's wedding, no one took any flowers. Wang Jiazhi saw Sister Liao off, and she looked quite shabby. She was the only one without a car, and her in-laws were so prominent.
The rain picked up again on the road, and Sister Liao continued to vent her complaints as usual. Then the car was unusually quiet for a while. The only sound was the rain outside, the patter of raindrops hitting the car. This small space seemed like an isolated island in the storm.
"Why do you like Uncle Yi?"
Her sudden question made Wang Jiazhi feel unreal.
Although they all knew about their relationship, they kept it to themselves. In such an unusual atmosphere, she asked so earnestly, as if a non-serious answer would be a betrayal. Especially given her situation, Wang Jiazhi felt she shouldn't be perfunctory.
"I just like it." Her voice was soft, but it was loud enough for people to hear over the sound of wind and rain.
But it seemed too perfunctory, and he said: "You can give countless reasons for liking someone, but none of them are all true."
“Just like in the novel.”
Wang Jiazhi was shocked. She had forgotten to write this sentence into the novel.
"Alas, I've never been in love in my entire life. And then I married someone like that. My whole life!"
She said that with great sadness.
"Life isn't just about love and marriage; there's a lot more to it."
"But what else can I have?"
She couldn't refute it.
Maybe the rain was too heavy and Sister Liao had nowhere to go, so she went back home this time.
She remembered there were oranges in the fridge, so she cut them into chunks, squeezed out the juice, and then added the peel and pulp. She stewed the ribs until perfectly tender, then pureed them and fed them to the kitten. She really loved it. No wonder this sweet dish is sometimes called "daughter's dish" or "girl's dish." A sweet tooth is truly a woman's nature.
He came back around ten o'clock, and he really wanted to eat, so she saved some ribs for him.
"Is this a snack or a dish?"
"It's all right."
In his eyes, pork ribs and oranges are a very unusual combination.
He had eaten it and thought it was delicious. He only needed to finish those few pieces of ribs and he ate very little.
She talked about the little turmoil after he left. Speaking of Mrs. Liang, she sighed deeply.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Because she hated the whole family, she hated even the names of those scumbags.
But... why... does someone in it have to be named Liang? Mrs. Liang is so annoying, why do she and her husband have the surname Liang?
ah! ! !
"I feel very unfair. The girl I met when I gave birth was beautiful and smart, but she ended up in such a marriage, and I was heartbroken too. Mrs. Liao's daughter-in-law is just as pitiful and innocent. It's not her fault that she looks like Zhu Bajie, stupid, and disabled. She also had an unhappy marriage, but I didn't sympathize with her that much. I even found it ridiculous."
He smiled and said, "You saved the dying kitten and killed the healthy mosquito. Many things are destined by nature. You felt sorry for her, which shows that you are very kind. If one day you can help her, you will do it."
He continued, "On the way to school, a very small mouse died. It was so cute. Born a mouse, it was hated by everyone. Actually, it had no choice; it didn't want to be a mouse. It stole to survive. It just wanted to live. It didn't understand human ways. There's a saying about pests and beneficial insects: those that harm humans are pests, and those that benefit humans are beneficial. There's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world."
Wang Jiazhi watched him lose his composure over a little mouse, and no wonder he still drew cute cartoons. Who says people lose their childlike innocence as they age? It's innate and lasts a lifetime. Some people are born without childlike innocence, becoming bored and rigid from a young age.
"Mrs. Liao's son is acting like nothing happened. Doesn't he feel the pain of marrying someone he doesn't like?"
"He's not going home, and I can't see him. What's the pain for him?"
"Forehead……"
Wang Jiazhi said, "It's the same as marrying a fairy. It will get boring after a few days."
"That's right. The feeling of novelty is short-lived. It's the same no matter what."
Wang Jiazhi trusted him very much; he really had a say. She didn't know how many times he'd experienced his novelty being shattered.
She was sitting on the bed in a daze. Just as she stepped down with one foot, she felt something furry and soft, and immediately heard a "meow".
"ah!"
Look closely, a furry black cat.
"Oh my god, how could I step on it?"
He brought back a black cat. When he came back, he found it lying on the roof of the car. It was a big black and furry ball. Its two round yellow eyes looked at him and meowed in a baby voice, which startled him.
I had put it quietly under the bed, waiting for her to find it and tease her.
She picked it up, held it in her arms and stroked its fur, and it purred happily.
"How cute! It's all black."
The kitten saw it, stretched out its two little hands, let out a happy "Ah", and reached out to touch its head.
This one is really furry and fluffy.
This one is also a female cat. The three cats and one dog in his house are all female. Even the pets he recruited are female.
After she went to sleep, she thought about what had just happened. She thought it depended on the situation, but she believed it was completely applicable to relationships.
She's never been in a relationship, and she's never seen what others are like. So, she agrees with the plots in novels and movies. He used to be mean to girls because his feelings weren't deep enough. Once they're deep enough, he'll treat you better.
A girl in the drama club once said she had a fight with her ex-boyfriend and Mahakala had left her alone on a mountain road. Actually, that wasn't the case at all. There was no real affection involved, and any responsible guy wouldn't leave a girl in such a dangerous situation.
Thinking back to when they first got together, although he was also very strong, he would not do anything too extreme and would always leave himself some room for maneuver. No matter how tired or angry he was, as long as he spoke to him, he would always respond and would never ignore him or even look at him.
If it was really a marriage like the one Mrs. Liao's daughter had, she firmly believed that she would divorce even if she had to do so a hundred times, even if it meant not getting any money but moving down the social ladder.
The next day, even the high-necked clothes couldn't hide the freshness.
You can't blame her this time, it's his problem, she didn't mean it.
Having a furry black creature has created some problems: I can never find it. Especially at night, after the lights go out, when it opens its eyes, it can only see two small, yellow, full moons. Without its eyes open, it's pitch dark, impossible to see. Sometimes, during the day, I can't find it either. If I accidentally step on its tail or paw, it meows.
He put a thick red rope around its neck with a round golden bell on it, so that he could find it. By hearing the jingling sound, even if he couldn't see it, he would know it was coming.
The kitten named it Dinglingling, and that’s how it got its own name.
