Chapter 454 Li Mei weighs the pros and cons
At night, Zhao Meili came to her former home.
She took out her key and found that the door lock had been changed.
Zhao Meili climbed up the iron gate and entered the yard.
As expected, the door inside was also locked and the window was closed from the inside.
Zhao Meili was not in a hurry and said to herself, "Fortunately, I was prepared." Then she went to the small garden in the yard.
Zhao Meili picked up a flower pot, moved it, found a flower hoe, and dug the soil on the ground.
Soon, Zhao Meili dug out a box from the soil. She
patted the soil on the box, put the box in the backpack behind her, and came to the dog cage, moved the dog cage away, and dug the soil underneath.
Soon, she dug out a box.
He put it in his backpack and left quickly.
...
He Zirong stayed with Li Mei for a week. During this period, Jia Zhijun did not come to tell Li Mei about the divorce.
Li Mei didn't know when Zhao Meili would come to pick up the child, so she asked He Zirong: "Do you have the contact information of other family members or relatives?"
He Zirong shook her head.
Li Mei was so worried.
Two days later, Li Mei received a call from Zhao Meili, asking her to bring the child to the hotel to meet her at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Li Mei set the alarm clock to 11:30 in the evening.
When she arrived at the hotel designated by Zhao Meili, she asked the front desk clerk, who said that no such person was staying.
Li Mei could only wait at the door of the hotel with the sleeping He Zirong in her arms.
About 10 minutes later, a woman with a gauze scarf on her head came over.
Seeing that the figure looked very much like Zhao Meili, Li Mei asked tentatively: "Is it Zhao Meili?"
Zhao Meili hummed, put down the bag in her hand, and took the child from Li Mei's arms.
"Thank you for taking care of the child for me."
Li Mei saw bruises on Zhao Meili's face and asked her: "You can't go back to that home, where are you going?"
Zhao Meili touched her daughter's hair: "You know everything."
"Did you know that Mr. He has a wife?"
"I know what you want to say. Who doesn't want to be rich in this life? I'm just a little unlucky. If I had a son, I could compete with her."
"At this time, you still want these things. You don't have a job. I heard that all the valuable things in the house have been taken away. How are you going to live in the future? Zhao Meili smiled and said, "
I'm not stupid. How can I put eggs in a basket? Since I've been with him, I've thought of the worst-case scenario. Don't worry, my life is not a problem, and raising a child is no problem."
"That's good. Zirong is very cute and obedient. You should raise her well."
...
Zhao Meili took the children away, and Li Mei also returned to the dormitory.
Lying on the bed in the dormitory, Li Mei couldn't fall asleep.
Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Zhao Meili, who was so glorious not long ago, is now like a dog that has lost its home, hiding and not daring to see people, and even running away.
Remembering what Zhao Meili said that eggs should not be put in the same basket, Li Mei began to re-examine her current marriage.
She is already in her early forties. If she divorces and remarries, she will have to find someone older than herself who also has children. Li Mei cannot guarantee that she will get along well with the other party's children.
If she doesn't marry again, her mother will definitely let her return home.
She has three brothers, each with a They have a son, and they have long been eyeing their savings.
After weighing the pros and cons, instead of trying to please her three nephews in order to have someone to take care of her in her old age, Li Mei thought it would be better for her to take out some money for Jia Liqun's marriage.
She paid for the marriage, and when she is unable to move in the future, Jia Liqun cannot sit idly by, otherwise he will be criticized.
When her son gets married in the future, she will give her savings to him.
When she is old, she will have a pension and her life will not be a problem. She will give her pension to whoever is willing to take care of her. She believes that someone will be willing to take care of her.
Encircling two people will also provide an extra guarantee for future life.
...
On the weekend, when Li Mei returned home, Jia Zhijun said unhappily: "You still remember to come back! "
Li Mei said, "I raised Li Qun, and we have feelings for each other. If I divorce before our child gets married, our relatives and friends will talk about it.
Since the divorce procedure has not been completed yet, I am still Li Qun's stepmother, and I will have to contribute money and effort to his marriage."
"Didn't you give all your money to your biological son?"
"I borrowed some money from relatives and friends, and this month's salary is 1,000 yuan. If he doesn't mind it, he can come to me for it. "
After Jia Zhijun married Li Mei, Li Mei refused to suffer loss but also didn't like to take advantage of others. There were almost no major conflicts in their marriage, except for this time when Li Mei had to pay for his son's wedding.
If Li Mei didn't pay a little money, the father and son would have no choice.
After all, she was the stepmother and the money was saved by herself.
Now Jia Zhijun was very happy to hear that Li Mei was willing to pay 1,000 yuan. He
found his son's unit and told his son, but Jia Liqun was still reluctant to take it.
Jia Zhigang slapped him: "Are you stupid! If I really divorce her, who will cook and wash clothes for me? Who will take care of your children in the future when you have children?"
"She also has to go to work, how can she have the time to take care of the children? ”
“When you are too busy sometimes, she can also take time to help you. It is better to have one more person to help at home. Look at how messy the house is these days with no one to take care of it.”
After hearing what his father said, Jia Liqun also realized the importance of Li Mei. He bought some snacks, brought them back home, and called Li Mei "Mom".
Li Mei changed her previous attitude and said, "You also know that I have parents and three brothers in my mother's family. I don't actually save much money. It was Liqun who said hurtful words to give money to my own son first."
Jia Liqun apologized, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive at the moment and said without thinking. Don't be angry, Mom. I have already told my partner that we should buy furniture and home appliances first and then buy them later when we save up our salary."
Li Mei nodded
and said, "If you don't have enough money, I'll give you some money from my salary." Originally, Li Mei didn't plan to pay a penny, but now she gave them 1,000 yuan and would pay for them to buy electrical appliances in the future. Jia Liqun was very happy to hear this and thanked Li Mei.
...
After Jia Liqun's wedding, Li Mei went to Yaoshui Village again and met Zhou Haibo.
"The last time I came, I saw that you were too excited. I just wanted to take you to a big city to study without considering your feelings.
After I went back, I thought about it and realized that this would indeed affect your studies. You can study with peace of mind in the future. If you need anything, you can write to me or call me."
Li Mei gave Zhou Haibo 100 yuan: "You are still young now, so I won't give you too much money. When you need money when you work or get married, I will give you all my savings."
Hearing that Li Mei no longer forced him to transfer schools, Zhou Haibo breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Mei: "Mom, I will study hard and strive to get into a good university." Hearing
this mother, Li Mei was so excited that she shed tears.
...
Zhou Cang knew that Li Mei had come to see his son and was angry.
His wife advised him: "After all, Li Mei is his biological mother and has the right to look after the child. You can't stop her even if you want to. Just think of it as one more person caring for Haibo.
Li Mei is much less of a worry than Zhao Meili. I heard from Aunt Lu that when Zhao Meili heard that Teacher Fang was admitted to university, she was in a state of turmoil in their family."
Zhou Cang felt much more comfortable after being comforted by his wife: "As long as she doesn't disrupt our lives, it's fine."
