Why can't we be a little sweeter?
Over there, Zhao Faxia was flattered by such a polite and meticulous greeting for the first time, and replied in great detail.
He told Mengyi everything about what he ate and what tea he drank when he had diabetes.
Not only did Mengyi listen attentively, but she also took the initiative to ask, "So, should the corn silk tea be made with dried corn silk or fresh corn silk?"
It's clear that Zhao Faxia has a habit of being a know-it-all.
She enjoys teaching others, and Mengyi's compliance and curiosity further stimulate her talkative nature.
The two of them were having a lively time, completely excluding Jiang Meimei.
At this moment, Sun Lifang didn't know what Jiang Meimei was thinking, but one thing was certain—
She disdained to do that.
"Why should I try to please her? She's even more nagging than my mother, and she scolds me every day." When Jiang Meimei first complained about her mother-in-law, Sun Lifang told her to pay more attention to her.
Compared to her mother-in-law, Zhao Faxia had worked far too hard, so as a younger generation member, she felt she had to express her gratitude verbally.
"She stays home with the kids all day, and while you're at work, she has no one to talk to—"
"Of course I need to talk to you about this."
But Jiang Meimei wouldn't have it. She was annoyed that Zhao Faxia would repeat the same thing more than a dozen times, and she couldn't even have a moment to rest while eating.
She said it, but she still expects a reply.
Jiang Meimei ignored her, her annoyance obvious, so Zhao Faxia started nagging about her shortcomings, forcing Jiang Meimei to respond.
Jiang Meimei was unhappy about this and argued with her mother-in-law, accusing her of stirring up trouble. So her young son, Yuanbao, who was just beginning to understand things, stepped in to protect his grandmother, shouting at Jiang Meimei, "You bad girl, you bad girl, get out of here!"
"Don't you dare bully Grandma, go away!"
How could Jiang Meimei not be angry that her own son was siding with his grandmother?
So from then on, whenever it was time to eat, she would take her bowl back to her room to eat, leaving Zhao Faxia to eat alone in the living room while holding the child.
Li Zhi knew how hard his mother had worked, so as her son, if he were to speak up for his wife again, he would completely break his mother's heart.
The mother came to take care of the children without asking for a penny, and cleaned the whole house, inside and out, spotlessly.
Li Zhi saw all of this hard work.
So, if he were to talk about his mother like his wife, given the strong-willed nature of rural people in Zhao Faxia's generation—
What if he accidentally ingested some pesticide? Wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?
People shouldn't only think about themselves. Jiang Meimei only wants to be better for herself, but she is not grateful at all. Even when she speaks politely, she has a short temper and gets easily angered.
Who can tolerate her forever?
Now, Li Zhi felt he had completely lost face.
Jiang Meimei's affair and the fact that she was cuckolded are common knowledge.
No man can tolerate being teased by his brothers about being cuckolded, and Li Zhi is no exception.
On the way here, he had already decided that if Jiang Meimei insisted, then he would grant her wish.
However, that wouldn't work at the moment; he still had to follow the procedures—
Li Zhi said to Jiang Meimei, "My mother's words don't count; you can't take Yuanbao with you."
How can your own son call someone else "Dad"?
Li Zhi wouldn't allow this to happen, but he also didn't want his biological mother to suffer anymore.
So he said, "I earn quite a bit a month now, so I'll hire a nanny to take care of her."
If you can't find someone you like, you can consider what your brother told you before he left: "Start another family and marry a gentle and filial girl."
He now owns a house and a car, and he's just as good as the locals in Shanghai. In terms of food and daily necessities, he's even better off than them.
Given his current circumstances, finding another one would be incredibly easy for him.
I've already tried to win him back, and he's not the kind of person who clings on relentlessly.
The reason he can still talk to Jiang Meimei calmly now is because, for him at present, "Jiang Meimei is a helper."
With her taking care of Mr. Zhou's wife at his home, my relationship with Mr. Zhou is definitely closer than with others.
He initially married Jiang Meimei simply to continue his family line, but now they have transcended social classes—
From farmers who toiled in the soil for generations to white-collar workers who bought houses in big cities.
How much has he sacrificed for his current life?
Jiang Meimei didn't know that; she only knew about romance and longed for beauty.
Even so, because Jiang Meimei is now his helper, the two still have a chance to sit down and discuss things.
If it were another woman—
Well, I'm sorry, but don't forget what I used to do?
In his youth, Li Zhi was a good-for-nothing. He still vividly remembers the days when he was a dissolute gangster and engaged in violent clashes. To this day, he still has a long scar on his chest.
So tell me, would I allow myself to be cuckolded?
Holding his mother's hand, Li Zhi said, "From now on, let Mengyi take care of Yuanbao. She's a kindergarten teacher, so you can rest assured."
rest assured?
Zhao Faxia suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked at her son in surprise, "Is this the kind of girlfriend you're talking about?"
Oh my god, she thought it was a female friend.
Now it seems like he wants to marry her!
Because she had turned away from Sun Lifang earlier, Zhao Faxia only noticed Mengyi holding her son's hand when she turned back around.
He rushed over and tore it open, asking, "What are you doing?"
A rebellion, huh?
The stepmother was no good at all. Zhao Faxia had initially thought Mengyi was kind and sensible, but now, seeing her little tricks—
She's transformed into a seductive vixen!
Holding hands with another woman's husband in public is shameless!
The older generation couldn't stand this kind of scene, so Zhao Faxia slapped Li Zhi's arm with a stern face.
