Chapter 84 Jinjiang Debut
"It's me... It's all me..." Healthy Mom murmured, "So, the kiss marks on his body were also left by me?"
"That's right," Bai Mian said, "The kiss marks on his body were left by your other personality. Although your personality has changed, that person is still you, so she also has love for your husband."
"As for the nail polish, it was also worn by your second personality. When you went to send the child off, you saw the nail polish on Lu Xiaomang's hands and liked it very much. You remembered it unconsciously, so your second personality also subconsciously chose this nail polish. The nail polish is of poor quality and easy to fall off. One of the nails fell into your husband's pocket, which caused the misunderstanding."
"In short, you yourself are the mistress you are looking for."
The healthy mother was stunned, unable to accept the truth: "The mistress is me? So, I really wronged my husband, but I am actually a mental patient, how is this possible?"
Lame Brother spoke up for Lu Xiaomang again: "Hey, don't worry about your husband for now. You should apologize to Lu Xiaomang the most. You have been stigmatizing her for so long, and what happened? You bought the same model yourself! Look at how Lu Xiaomang has been implicated by your family affairs. Don't you feel guilty?"
The healthy mother finally stopped being stubborn. She turned around and bowed to Lu Xiaomang sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I misunderstood you. It's all my fault. I will definitely compensate you. I want to give you some mental damages. Do you think fifty thousand is enough?"
Lu Xiaomang combed her hair in a panic: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want the money. Just don't bother me again. I was at work today, and you pulled me out so suddenly. The school will probably record me as absent. I'm so unlucky. Look, you just pulled my hair into a tangled knot, and now I can't comb it out!"
Healthy Mom bowed a few more times and said, "I'm really sorry. You are a responsible and good teacher. I have caused you so much trouble today. I will definitely transfer the money to your card. Please don't refuse."
Lu Xiaomang shook his head, wanting to cry but unable to, "No, if I accept this money, it will be considered as a gift, and you don't have to give me anything. This is retribution for choosing the wrong major."
Healthy Mom stared at Lu Xiaomang in a daze, her eyes full of envy: "Don't say such discouraging words. Maybe you think it's hard to just start working, but I envy you. You haven't entered into marriage yet, and you don't know what you are about to face. I bought the same manicure as you, not only because it looks good, but also because I envy your youthful vigor."
"I once had this kind of vitality. Before I got married, I was an unknown little painter who made a living by painting. Although life was hard, I was full of expectations for the future. I hoped to have many fans and hold my own art exhibition. But all this changed because of his arrival."
"When we first got together, the father of the child promised me that he would treat me twice as well, let me have an independent studio, buy me the best painting supplies, and always support my dreams. I believed him, and we got married soon. I thought life after marriage would not change much, but I didn't expect that I would get pregnant after only two months."
"After giving birth to Jiankang, I was so busy every day that I didn't even have time to sleep, and I even forgot about painting. Perhaps, the real me died before entering the delivery room, and only the healthy mother came out. The gap is so big, no wonder I suffer from split personality."
At this point, tears welled up in her eyes. "Those promises he made before marriage disappeared like the wind. After I had a child, I never painted again. I put all my previous painting tools and papers in a big box. Later, my family thought it was in the way, so they put it in the basement. I'm afraid the paper has gotten damp..."
"Healthy Mom——"
Lu Xiaomang wanted to comfort her, but she interrupted him as soon as she opened her mouth:
"I'm not called Healthy Mom, I have my own name, my name is Li Moyun!"
"Li Moyun, this name is quite beautiful. Unfortunately, many women lose their names after giving birth and become XX mother," lame brother sighed, "I'm afraid that Wumei mother just now is the same. Speaking of which, you are actually quite similar to her, don't you think? You both get hysterical over the little things of your children. In the eyes of an outsider like me, you are both quite scary."
This time, Li Moyun was not angry about what Lame Brother said. She squatted beside Jiankang with a rare tenderness in her eyes. She touched the child's face and said, "Baby, is mommy really scary?"
Jiankang had tears in his eyes and nodded hesitantly: "Mom, I've actually wanted to tell you a long time ago. You're really scary sometimes. You don't recognize me anymore and you have a bad temper, like a completely different person. But, but Dad won't let me say it! Wuuuuu..."
Li Moyun hugged the child in her arms and patted the child's head gently: "Don't worry, dear, mom will go for treatment and it won't happen again in the future."
She made up her mind, stood up and said to Bai Mian: "Master, thank you for waking me up today. If it weren't for you, I would still be in the dark. Now that I know my illness, I will actively seek treatment. I have decided that I will be hospitalized!"
"That's good. I hope you can recover soon, so you won't bother me again in the future," Lu Xiaomang let out a long sigh. "The time your husband came to visit me at my house, he said he was giving you medicine. He would secretly put the medicine in your food every time, but it didn't seem to be very effective. He also said that he didn't let us tell you the truth in order to avoid irritating you and aggravating your condition."
Lame Brother was somewhat touched: "It seems that he is really a good man. He didn't abandon his wife even though she got mentally ill. He even went to each person's house to apologize. Unlike Wu Mei's father, he ran away as soon as the incident happened!"
Bai Mian sneered: "Has the standard for a good man become so low? In my opinion, her husband is far from being a good man. At best, he is just an ordinary man."
Lame Brother retorted: "He has put down his dignity and apologized to people door to door. Isn't he a good man?"
Bai Mian shook his head: "It's just histrionic personality. All his actions are just to create his own affectionate persona. As for his wife's health, he doesn't care at all. If he cared, he wouldn't have kept her from going to the hospital for so long."
After all, Lame Brother was a man, so he instinctively spoke up for the man: "Although he didn't go to the hospital, wasn't he giving his wife medicine?"
Bai Mian raised his lips and said, "Taking medicine is just his one-sided statement. In fact, he didn't give Li Moyun any medicine. He has been letting Li Moyun's condition worsen. Only in this way can he lock her firmly in the family and by his side. If Li Moyun is really cured and sees the truth of the marriage, she will definitely leave him. This is what this man doesn't want to see the most."
Lame Brother was slapped in the face and was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "Not taking medicine, isn't this a waste of time? Just delaying it like this, a minor illness has been delayed into a major one. This man is simply murdering people..."
"This isn't the first time he has tried to murder her," Bai Mian said, looking at Li Moyun. "He knew that his wife was a woman with dreams, but he still made her pregnant early, trapped her in the family, and interrupted her dreams. This is a spiritual destruction of her."
"Why?" Li Moyun couldn't understand. "Before we got married, I clearly told him that I wanted to focus on painting. He knew it. He said he liked me the way I was. But why did he change after we got married?"
Bai Mian waved a fan: "Before marriage, he wanted an artistic girl to date, and after marriage, he wanted a nanny. In his eyes, you are just a tool, like a piece of plasticine. You have to become what he needs. He doesn't care about the real you, he just enjoys the pleasure of taming you. This is the voice of most men in marriage."
Lame Brother had to admit: "Indeed, I take back what I said just now, this man is really a jerk!"
Li Moyun's face became paler and paler as she listened to Bai Mian's words. Memories flashed before her eyes, and she finally began to re-evaluate the man beside her: "I gave birth to a child for him and gave up my dreams, but he pushed me into the fire pit. I... who did I marry?"
"The sea of suffering is boundless, there is always shore to turn back." Lame Brother said in a deep voice.
Li Moyun calmed himself down, sat on the chair and thought for a moment, then looked up and said to Bai Mian: "Master, I have figured it out. I will not be defeated. I will regard the lost years as a setback in my life. I will pick up the paintbrush again to fulfill my dream!"
Lame Brother encouraged: "Keep going, I hope to see your art exhibition one day! Of course, the most important thing is to cure the disease first."
At this time, Li Moyun received a call from the police. The police had arrested Wumei's mother and she confessed everything. As the parent of the victim, Li Moyun also needed to go to the police station to handle relevant procedures.
After hanging up the phone, Li Moyun said to Que Ge: "Don't worry, I will go to the hospital after I finish dealing with this matter. I want to find my old self again."
Li Moyun paid the pulse diagnosis fee and bowed to Lu Xiaomang again to apologize. Then she hurriedly said goodbye to Bai Mian and prepared to leave with the child. The moment she turned around, Bai Mian reminded her:
"Some things should be abandoned, and it's time to be ruthlessly abandoned. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences."
Li Moyun paused, then she said "I understand", and disappeared out the door with the child.
Lame Brother understood what Bai Mian meant: "You can't bear to tell her to divorce in front of the child."
Bai Mian nodded, looked at Li Moyun's back and said, "She is a quick person and will know what to do."
Next to the pulse diagnosis table, Lu Xiaomang used the horn comb in the store to comb her hair for a long time. Finally, she combed her messy hair. She sighed and said, "Oh, my arms are so tired."
Seeing her like this, Lame Brother couldn't help but give her some advice: "Your job is really hard, why don't you change your career while you are still young."
Lu Xiaomang shook his head: "Although it's painful, I can't bear to give up this job. I can't help it. I like children from the bottom of my heart. This matter was all caused by a little red flower. It's my responsibility. If I had cared more about Wumei... It's over now. Wumei's mother was arrested and her father is missing. The survival of this child will be in question in the future..."
Lame brother patted her shoulder and said, "Don't blame yourself. This is their family's tragedy. It has nothing to do with you. Having a child is like opening a blind box. Who knows whether it will be a surprise or a shock?"
"Children, it's time to eat!"
When it was lunch time, bursts of fragrance came from the kitchen, and Gao Jin's shout pulled everyone out of the gloomy atmosphere.
"It's already this late, let's stay and have dinner together, our boss lady's cooking is really good!"
Lame Brother smiled at Lu Xiaomang and invited her to have lunch with him. Exhausted Lu Xiaomang was too lazy to move and so she agreed.
The crowd in the store left tactfully, and Bai Mian also stopped the live broadcast. Several people walked to the table, and Gao Jin brought out the lunch. The staple food for lunch was red bean paste buns and cabbage and pork buns. The main course was braised pork spine, and the side dishes were fried small yellow croaker and cold spinach.
After everyone was seated, Gao Jin first picked up a red bean paste bun for Lu Xiaomang. Lu Xiaomang took a bite and found the red bean paste soft and delicate, with moderate sweetness and a faint scent of roses. That one bite cured her of the morning's embarrassment and sadness.
