"Madam, please eat something first, don't starve yourself."
Aunt Zhang waited and waited, but Su Jieyu never picked up her chopsticks, and she was very worried.
Su Jieyu nodded slightly, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.
She was particularly calm and slow when she ate, and no one knew what she was thinking about. After the meal, she stood up and cleaned up the dishes with Aunt Zhang.
"Aunt Zhang, come here, I'll help you."
When Aunt Zhang saw Su Jieyu's actions, her eyes immediately turned red and she felt extremely conflicted.
The lady was so kind to her that she even wanted to share her work with her.
Mother Zhang felt a lump in her throat and made a secret decision in her heart.
-
Kitchen corner.
Aunt Zhang put the dirty dishes into the sink, and before the water turned on, she suddenly turned around.
She took the bowl and chopsticks from Su Jieyu's hand, put them aside, then held her hand. Before Su Jieyu could speak, her tears fell the next second.
Su Jieyu suddenly saw Aunt Zhang start to cry. She was stunned and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Aunt Zhang, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, don't cry, tell me what's going on!"
Aunt Zhang sniffed and said, "Madam, I really can't bear to watch this anymore. I feel miserable every moment. I... I am guilty for hiding this from you!"
Su Jieyu frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion, "What's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just speak slowly. Just be clear about what you are hiding."
Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth, as if she had made a great decision and was even prepared to lose her job: "Madam, I have seen Mr. and Jiang Hongyan secretly meeting, more than once! Just a few days ago, Jiang Hongyan was suddenly brought home by Mr., and the two sat in the yard and talked for a very long time. They were very close and intimate."
"A few days ago, on my way back from buying groceries at the market, I saw Jiang Hongyan and her husband walking together, chatting happily."
"They definitely don't have a serious relationship." Aunt Zhang said through gritting her teeth.
After hearing this, Su Jieyu was extremely shocked.
When she first heard the aunties and grandmas chatting outside, she thought it might be fake.
She knew that Meng Huaizhou couldn't tell the difference between himself and women outside, but she didn't quite believe that he would have anything to do with Jiang Hongyan.
It was not until Aunt Zhang said it herself that she had to believe this fact.
The kitchen was silent, with only Aunt Zhang sobbing with her hands covering her mouth.
After a long while, Su Jieyu took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at Aunt Zhang, patted her shoulder gently, and slowly said: "I know, you go ahead and do your work."
Aunt Zhang raised her face and looked at her with tearful eyes, "Madam, you...if you blame me, I'll admit it! Don't hold it in. If you feel bad, just cry it out. Holding it in will only make you sick!"
Su Jieyu shook her head, her expression was exceptionally calm, "I'm fine, and you're fine too, just do your job well."
Aunt Zhang was stunned, "Madam..."
Su Jieyu didn't say anything else. She walked to the shelf beside her, put her hands into the basin to wash them, her eyes determined.
Knowing all this, even if she wanted to divorce, she would never do it so easily.
She wanted to make those dishonorable people pay the price. She had given everything for this family over the years and she absolutely could not be bullied for no reason.
Su Jieyu never thought that she would be so surprisingly calm after hearing the news.
After talking to Aunt Zhang, she went straight upstairs and returned to her and Meng Huaizhou’s wedding room.
When you push open the door, you'll see a familiar layout. The light from outside pours in through the window, casting a swaying shadow.
In the past, she would have thought this was truly meaningful, but now she just found it particularly sad and ridiculous.
She slowly walked into the room, turned on the light, looked around, and began searching for clues, trying to find evidence that Meng Huaizhou had cheated on her.
On the bookshelf are books that the two of them once read together, but they haven't touched them for who knows how long.
Looking around, there were only a few photos hanging on the walls.
Su Jieyu was shocked to realize that she and Meng Huaizhou had been married for so many years but had never even taken a photo together.
Even Meng Anyao takes a set of photos every year, but they don’t.
The only group photo was taken with everyone in the army. She stood in the corner, while Meng Huaizhou and other soldiers stood on the side, chatting and laughing with their comrades.
Looking at the smile on his face in the photo, Su Jieyu smiled bitterly at herself.
She should have realized long ago that Meng Huaizhou clearly had no feelings for her, yet she had persisted for so many years.
Seeing the centenary photo of her daughter when she was born, Su Jieyu's thoughts drifted again, and she remembered the hurtful words Meng Anyao said in the army today.
She remembered that every time Meng Huaizhou was at home, her daughter would always revolve around him, acting affectionately and coquettishly, completely ignoring her who was standing beside him.
My daughter always says that the family is supported by her father and that he is the best and he never cares about herself.
She still remembers that on her daughter's birthday one time, she carefully prepared a table full of food, stayed up late to sew a rag doll by hand, and bought a set of custom-made jewelry to give to her daughter as a gift.
But as soon as her daughter came home, she rushed towards Meng Huaizhou, ignoring her careful preparations.
Thinking of this, Su Jieyu's heart felt like it was hit by a hammer, and the pain made her unable to breathe.
She was so good to her daughter, but in the end she didn't get any benefit. Moreover, her daughter's heart was full of Meng Huaizhou and she kept blaming her.
Thinking of this, she laughed sarcastically, "This father and daughter are a perfect match, they are indeed worthy of being biological children."
She now sees clearly that no matter how good she is to her daughter as a mother, that ungrateful little bastard will never appreciate her kindness.
She was born with a crooked butt and her heart is filled with only her father.
Looking at everything in front of him, Su Jieyu's thoughts were complicated. He slumped down on the edge of the bed, his heart full of regret.
In recent years, her marriage has been unhappy, and she wanted to hold on for the sake of her daughter. In order to escape the pain in her marriage, she plunged into work, trying to numb herself with busyness.
But in this way, she failed to take care of both sides, and she was completely unaware that Meng Huaizhou's lack of love for her was so obvious from the beginning.
Looking back now, she was really stupid.
Because she married Meng Huaizhou, her best years of youth were wasted. She perfectly became a victim of marriage.
Now that she is sober, she must separate from Meng Huaizhou.
Now she suddenly felt that divorce did not mean anything. It was just that she did not see through Meng Huaizhou before, otherwise she would have divorced him long ago.
What she is most worried about now is that Meng Huaizhou will not agree.
