Chapter 451 Meeting Zhao Meili
Li Mei returned to her city and got off the bus in a trance.
After walking a few steps, the conductor on the bus caught up with her and called out, "Comrade, your luggage is still on the bus."
Li Mei thanked him repeatedly and returned to the bus to get her luggage.
When she walked out of the station, there was a car on the side of the road, and the female driver in the car waved to her.
Li Mei shook her head and said no.
Seeing Li Mei shaking her head, the female driver did not give up, pushed open the door, got off the bus, and walked up to her.
"Li Mei!"
Li Mei was stunned for a moment. How did this female driver know her name?
The female driver was dressed very fashionably and did not look like a driver who drove a car to pick up passengers.
"Don't you recognize me? I'm Zhao Meili!"
"Ah?"
Li Mei couldn't believe it. She looked carefully at the person in front of her who called herself Zhao Meili. She did have some of the shadow of the past.
"How come you are all so pretty?"
Zhao Meili asked, "You? Have you met other educated youth?"
Li Mei said that she had met Shen Jiale in Yaoshui Village.
Zhao Meili was not surprised to hear that it was Shen Jiale: "Her family is so rich and willing to take care of herself, so of course she looks young."
Seeing Li Mei's haggard appearance, Zhao Meili said: "You have changed so much, there are white hairs on your head, which should not be seen at your age."
Li Mei touched her hair with her hand: "It turns out that I already have white hairs. I have been worried about too many things recently."
Zhao Meili asked Li Mei to get in her car.
Only then did Li Mei notice that Zhao Meili was not driving a taxi.
"Did you buy this car yourself?"
Zhao Meili said proudly, "My husband bought it for me."
"Teacher Fang is amazing."
Zhao Meili's face darkened: "I broke up with him."
"What? You are divorced too?"
"Let's not talk about that. Tell me what you are worried about. My husband is the boss of the company. Let him help you solve it."
Li Mei was surprised: "Really! If you can help me get my son back, I will be very grateful!"
"The one left in Yaoshui Village?"
Li Mei nodded: "I only have this one child, I must get him back to me!"
"Your son is 17 years old now, you have been separated for so long, and he is not close to you. Why don't you give birth to a child yourself after you return to the city?" "
The year I took the college entrance examination, I miscarried a child. I didn't take good care of my body, and I haven't had any children since then."
"I also had a miscarriage and hurt my body. The doctor said I couldn't have any more children. After I married my current husband, I spent a lot of money on recuperation. My child is now in elementary school. We women still need to have our own children."
Li Mei sighed: "I want to, but I'm at this age. Even if I recover now, I can't have children."
"Who said that? She can still have children at the age of 50."
Li Mei shook her head: "His children have already started their own families. They won't be willing to give birth to a child and create a burden for themselves."
"If you really decide to have another child, don't be so afraid. If the man doesn't agree, just change him."
Li Mei was tempted and asked Zhao Meili how much it would cost to recover.
Zhao Meili said, "It's not much, just tens of thousands, and you need to stay in the hospital to protect the fetus after you get pregnant."
Li Mei took a deep breath. It was too much. It cost so much money, and she would have to raise a child in the future. The time and money cost were too high, and she couldn't afford it.
Her son was well raised by her ex-husband. Li Mei decided to visit him more often in the future, so that when she gets old, she won't be controlled by her current husband's children.
...
Li Mei returned home and cleaned the room and the bathroom as usual.
Her husband Jia Zhijun asked her where she had been these days.
Li Mei did not hide it: "I'm going to see my son."
Jia Zhijun looked a little unhappy: "You have your own family, so don't keep in touch with the old people."
Li Mei said: "If I don't keep in touch, who will take care of me when I'm old?"
Jia Zhijun knew that Li Mei was angry about her son's words: "The child was just angry for a moment. We have lived together for these years. Don't you know his temper?"
Li Mei hummed: "Now I know."
The money for his son's wedding was still expected from Li Mei. Seeing that Li Mei was still angry with her son, Jia Zhijun did not speak.
...
In the evening, his son Jia Liqun came back and said that they had already picked out household appliances and furniture.
Li Mei did not say anything.
Jia Zhijun said, "We need furniture and electrical appliances for a wedding. Give some money to the children to buy them."
Li Mei said calmly, "I don't have your salary card."
Jia Zhijun said, "The salary in my card is all used for living expenses. I don't have much money left."
Li Mei did not respond.
Jia Liqun said: "Since you are husband and wife, your salary is your joint property. My father's salary is used for living expenses, and your salary is the family savings."
Li Mei chuckled: "So you want your wife to pay for her own living expenses after you get married?"
Jia Zhijun said: "Just think of it as a loan from me. I will pay you back when I get my salary in the future."
Li Mei refused directly: "No."
Jia Zhijun didn't believe it: "You have been saving your salary and not using it. How can you be out of money?"
"It's my money, you won't stop me from using it, right?"
"It's impossible for me to spend it all at once. Give Liqun 3,000 first."
Li Mei poured herself a glass of water: "I have used up all the money."
"You have at least 7,000 or 8,000 yuan in your hand. How can you spend it all at once? Take out what you have first, and I'll figure out the rest later."
Li Mei took a sip of water and said, "Last time, Li Qun warned me that he would not support me in my old age, so I went to find my son."
"You won't give him all your money, will you?"
"Yes, I still count on him to support me in my old age. I won't be able to keep the money, so I gave it all to him. Anyway, I still have my salary."
Jia Zhijun said angrily, "Do you take me seriously? You didn't even discuss such a big thing with me?"
"My money, why should I discuss it with you?"
Jia Liqun didn't expect that his stepmother would give all the money to her ex-husband's son just because of his casual words. He regretted his impulsiveness.
He signaled his father to let Li Mei go and get the money back.
Of course, Li Mei didn't want to.
Jia Zhijun was so angry that he slammed the table: "I have raised you well for so many years, but in the end, I gave all my money to my first child. Are you worthy of me?"
Li Mei also slammed the table: "How have I been ungrateful to you? Don't you feel guilty when you say this?
Who raised your son, cooked for you, washed your clothes, and sent your son to school? I also have to tutor him in his homework, attend parent-teacher meetings, and take him to the hospital when he is sick. Over the years, I have done everything big and small in the family!"
Jia Zhijun could not refute. As a stepmother, Li Mei did a good job, but he felt that as his wife, Li Mei should do all these.
She muttered: "You will have to do these things no matter who you marry. If you bring the money back, I won't care about your lingering relationship with your ex-husband."
"What if I don't?"
"If you can't get the money back, you can't stay in this family anymore!"
"Are you going to divorce me?"
"Since your heart is not in this family, what's the point of you staying here."
Li Mei pointed at Jia Zhijun: "Okay... leave if you want!"
