Chapter 233 No Way Out
Liu Hao shook off He Xiangju's hand and sat on a stool nearby. "You haven't learned tailoring. You can't be the only tailor shop around here. You should either learn it or earn some money steadily. You're just greedy, so why blame others?"
After saying this, he looked at He Xiangju with a scrutinizing gaze and said, "I'm increasingly finding that our perspectives and ideas differ. I've thought about this before. With our different experiences and educational backgrounds, can we really be happy together? Now I find it's really difficult. Let's get a divorce."
He Xiangju collapsed on the ground in fear: "What? Divorce? I won't divorce. I love you. Everything I do is for you and for our family. You can't leave me. Didn't we agree to be together for the rest of our lives? You can't leave me, you can't leave me..."
She was incoherent at this time and was completely confused. She kept muttering, "You can't leave me."
Liu Hao took a deep breath and said, "While we don't have children, let's get divorced so we can each take the next step."
He Xiangju heard this and stood up with a cry: "Liu Hao, didn't you plan this all along? You said you'd have a child after things were stable, but in fact, didn't you want to live with me for a long time? Did you start preparing long ago?"
Liu Hao frowned and looked at He Xiangju: "If you miss me this much, then that's fine. He Xiangju, the more I look at you, the less I understand. Have you been pretending for so many years?"
He Xiangju was just upset about the child issue, because she had always wanted to have a child, because having a child would make her position more stable, but Liu Hao disagreed and said it would be better to get pregnant after returning to the city.
However, not long after arriving in the city, He Xiangju opened a garment shop. She didn't dare to get pregnant too soon to affect her business, so she still hasn't planned to have children. What makes her most angry is that if she got pregnant after getting married, she could have given birth before opening the garment shop. If she had more children as a guarantee, she couldn't talk about divorce easily now.
In the final analysis, she didn't want to get divorced, so she still gave in to Liu Hao and said, "Liu Hao, I'm not pretending. I'm just too afraid of losing you, so I've always been very careful. I'm careful with your parents, my sisters-in-law, and I'm afraid to make you unhappy. I'm really exhausted, but why can't I do it well?"
"It's because you are not sincere to everyone, so we can't be sincere to you either. There have always been many problems between us. I'm going to work first, and let's calm down before talking about this." Liu Hao stood up, put on a thick cotton jacket, and went out directly.
He Xiangju leaned against the wall and looked at the door. She regretted it, but was even more resentful. Why did she meet Ai Xiaoxia? If it weren't for Ai Xiaoxia, she would have been content to serve her husband and not open a garment shop. Then she might be pregnant now. If she got pregnant and gave birth to a child, her in-laws would have accepted her. Wouldn't that be great too?
It all comes down to Ai Xiaoxia. Without Ai Xiaoxia, nothing would be like this.
But he couldn't defeat Ai Xiaoxia. If she made a move, he would face divorce. What should he do?
Now is not the time to deal with Ai Xiaoxia. How can she not get a divorce? She would rather die than get a divorce.
Anyway, no matter what Liu Hao said, he would not divorce. Otherwise, he would go to the company to make a scene. He was most afraid of losing his job. As long as he said this, Liu Hao would not be afraid.
Ai Xiaoxia's family was not affected by this. After Lu Jingshen went to work, Ai Xiaoxia talked and laughed with her parents-in-law.
Because she was going to her mother's house for dinner in the evening, Ai Xiaoxia made snacks at home in the afternoon. After all, buying snacks at this time is not only expensive, but also not as delicious as the ones she makes herself.
Li Shaofen was no stranger to these things either. She worked with Ai Xiaoxia, talking as they did it, and they had a very good understanding.
Ai Xiao had wanted to make ox tongue pastries, which is also a Chinese dim sum, before. He didn't have the ingredients before, but he bought all the ingredients before the Chinese New Year a few years ago, so he decided to give it a try today. He will make these after the food factory opens.
My family only makes Chinese dim sum. Only by being dedicated can we make it exquisitely and build a good brand.
In the future, we will focus on the traditional Beijing Eight Pieces, and then make some oven cakes, biscuits, and vat ovens.
After making the tongue biscuits, Ai Xiaoxia also made a few small cream cakes, which her two brothers liked to eat.
When Lu Jingshen came back from get off work, they were all ready and went to Lin Jianye's house together.
Lin Rui is on duty today. He is a surgeon. The closer it gets to the Chinese New Year, the busier he gets. There are either burns from fried foods or injuries from firecrackers. Even when he is resting, he often receives calls and rushes to the hospital.
However, when they arrived, Lin Xiao and his wife were there, and Wang Lijuan was helping Huang Wanxia cook.
After entering the house and greeting each other, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen asked Lin Jianye and Huang Wanxia to go to the living room to chat while they cooked.
Lin Xiao and Wang Lijuan were also helping in the kitchen. Wang Lijuan looked at how skillfully Ai Xiaoxia cooked and knew that she had actually suffered more than herself. However, no matter what hardships she had endured, she could always come out of it so optimistically. She didn't know how she could get out of such a predicament.
Ai Xiaoxia and Wang Lijuan are not close friends, but they get along very well on the surface, because Ai Xiaoxia knows that this is her eldest brother's wife, the person who will accompany her eldest brother throughout his life, and also the daughter-in-law of her parents. If she gets along well with Wang Lijuan, the family will be harmonious. She just needs to be a little careful.
Wang Lijuan had always been worried that Ai Xiaoxia had something against her, but seeing that Ai Xiaoxia was very enthusiastic towards her, calling her sister-in-law and chatting with her, Wang Lijuan felt even more conflicted. Was she overthinking it or did Ai Xiaoxia have some other purpose?
In fact, these entanglements also originated from her mother's family. When she returned to her mother's family a few days ago, her father asked her to find a job for a cousin, saying that her sister-in-law Ai Xiaoxia was so capable, and it would be no big deal to help arrange a job for her.
What Wang Lijuan fears most is that her natal family will ask her to beg her in-laws for help. In fact, she is not afraid of her natal family asking for some money. She is afraid that her natal family’s affairs will cause trouble to the Lin family. She is afraid that Lin Xiao will be impatient with her and that the Lin family will look down on her.
She saw that Lu Jingshen's parents were from the countryside and had no special abilities, but Lu Jingshen was not self-deprecating. He brought his parents with him and had no intention of currying favor with them. She was really envious. Although her family was from the city, she always had a feeling that they were inferior to the Lin family. She couldn't explain it, but the feeling was always there.
Today's dinner is quite sumptuous, because Ai Xiaoxia took action, so there must be some main dishes.
At the dinner table, Lin Jianye and Lu Guojiu were chatting and laughing happily. Lu Guojiu now watches TV and news every day, and after buying the real estate, he didn't want to burden his children, so he often asked people about business matters. The more motivated a person is, the more he knows, so his way of speaking is different.
