The contest at the dinner table ended with Shen Shi emerging victorious.
As usual, Shen's mother scolded him as an "unfilial son" and lamented that she had given birth to a "ungrateful wretch".
As it was time for bed, to vent her dissatisfaction, Mother Shen continued to make a racket in the living room, refusing to let anyone have a moment's peace.
If things continue like this, life will definitely become unbearable. Hearing this commotion every day makes me feel suffocated.
Chen Shi, lying on the bed in the bedroom, turned over irritably and then covered his head with the blanket.
Luckily I'm a man, otherwise I would have gotten breast cancer from the stress.
Seeing this, Ji Beiqing patted him like she was comforting a child.
This tap calmed my agitation somewhat, and the clanging sound came again.
Shen Shi forced himself to close his eyes briefly: "This is too annoying, I really can't stand it!"
A muffled voice came through the blanket: "I have to move out now. I'll work for a few more days to earn some money, then I'll look for a place to live!"
At this critical moment, I must control myself, otherwise tomorrow morning there will definitely be a shocking news story: "Unfilial son beats his own mother."
In the years since he married into the Shen family, this has been happening almost every day, and Ji Beiqing is the person who can empathize with him the most.
“I still have some money. Let’s go see it tomorrow. I’ll go with you.” Ji Beiqing’s tone was calm, revealing no emotion.
Hearing her say that, Shen Shi felt sad. She had just taken out the money. What a silly girl.
"Let's wait two more days!"
She hadn't earned a single penny in the past few years, relying entirely on Ji Beiqing to support her, so Shen Shi was too ashamed to spend her money.
Even with Shen Shi covered by the blanket, Ji Beiqing could guess what he was thinking. In fact, her desire to move out was a hundred times stronger than Shen Shi's.
After all, she was her own flesh and blood; even if the bones were broken, the tendons would still connect. While Chen's mother was only harsh towards Chen Shi, she was blatantly oppressive towards Ji Beiqing.
"All you do all day is eat! You really plan to rely on your mother to support a bunch of lazybones!"
"She really thinks she's some kind of pampered rich girl!"
"How did I end up with a daughter-in-law like you?"
Ji Beiqing had heard these words of suppression and discontent countless times!
Alone and helpless, she thought that marriage would give her a home, but reality gave her a harsh lesson.
Not only was Shen's mother an oddball who was difficult to get along with, but Shen, who had been very good during their courtship, also underwent a complete 180-degree change in attitude after marriage.
Since marrying into the Shen family, Ji Beiqing has been constantly on edge and has never slept in.
Having suppressed his emotions for so long, Ji Beiqing no longer wanted to endure the atmosphere of the Shen family, nor did he want to live a life dependent on others.
She was eager to get out of the house. Before, she was worried that no one would take care of her daughter. Now that she was out of work, she could be with her daughter anytime, and she had nothing to worry about anymore.
“Since you’ve decided to move out, the sooner the better. We’re family, there’s no need to be so formal,” Ji Beiqing advised Shen Shi instead.
Actually, these words were meant for Shen Shi to hear, and also for herself.
Ji Beiqing wasn't sure if Shen Shi had really gotten better, or how many more days he could maintain that improvement.
However, in her consistent understanding, support is either absolute or absolute; once she chooses to believe, she no longer has any doubts.
Her extreme upbringing shaped her extreme personality; once she set her mind on someone, she would never change.
In this gamble about sinking time, Ji Beiqing chose to go all in.
She was completely captivated by this uncertainty; let the storm rage on! Even though I wasn't prepared.
Sometimes Ji Beiqing even felt that her mentality was pathological.
Fortunately, her child was the anchor that held her back. Without Shen Yueyue, Ji Beiqing couldn't imagine what she would be like now.
When the time becomes truly unbearable, perhaps this world will have one more couple who die for love.
But this possibility is still very small. Kindness is Ji Beiqing's unchanging nature. If it weren't for Yueyue, her bottom line would probably be much lower.
Her words were completely unexpected by Shen Shi.
He yanked the blanket off his head and stared directly into Ji Beiqing's eyes, beginning to re-evaluate this woman.
He saw an unwavering determination in Ji Beiqing's eyes.
This woman, tormented by fate and on the verge of death, did not compromise or flinch when faced with unknown challenges.
She was more than willing to give her heart, because it was unbreakable.
No one can truly defeat her, whether it's family difficulties or a failed marriage; she always carries within her a heart that never gives up.
At this moment, Ji Beiqing exuded a mysterious aura that was both dangerous and captivating.
As if they had never met before, Ji Beiqing's overwhelming charm was irresistible to him, and he was easily drawn in.
"So beautiful." Unable to contain her emotions, she gently stroked Ji Beiqing's face.
After discussing it overnight, the young couple decided to look at the house after Shen Shi finished get off work.
Because Ji Beiqing felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to let him suffer on the construction site, she only agreed after Shen Shi persuaded her.
Chen Shi insisted on going to the construction site not only because the wages were relatively high, but also for another more important reason.
Zhang Mingyuan's appearance put him on a state of extreme tension.
Under the immense pressure of losing his family and loved ones, Chen Shi was eager to become stronger in order to gain an advantageous position in future matches.
Against the backdrop of economic boom, opportunities abound; all that's missing is a keen eye to spot them.
Chen Shi's path to wealth was undoubtedly entrepreneurship, so finding the right path became his top priority.
Due to financial difficulties, we can only start with small things.
