Chapter 435 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (3)
"Yes, I plan to go back to the countryside tomorrow. I have done my duty to take care of your wife during her confinement period." Shi Chu said expressionlessly. This barbecued son was indeed a heartless person.
Liu Zongqiang considered himself a gentleman who would not quarrel with his mother, so when he heard her words, he just nodded and said, "Well, if you want to go back, you can go back. But Shuwen and I are busy, and we have a child. The countryside is so far away, and we may not be able to go back for several years and cannot take care of you nearby. Mom, you just take good care of yourself."
This implies that he won't care about his old mother in the countryside.
Shi Chu sneered and said, "Of course I can take care of myself. It doesn't matter whether you come back or not, but the alimony cannot be reduced."
Liu Zongqiang choked, not understanding why his mother suddenly became so tough and even cared about alimony. Could it be that someone had told her something?
The original owner was an ordinary rural woman who only went to elementary school. She could read and write, but she didn't have much education. She had no idea about things like alimony, so Liu Zongqiang thought she had heard it from others.
Liu Zongqiang immediately showed weakness: "Mom, I have to pay off the mortgage and raise the children, so I have no money. You are still young and can support yourself. You don't need us to support you. Just pity your son and don't make my burden heavier, okay?"
In the end, I just don't want to pay alimony.
Shi Chu glanced at him and said, "I heard that you can sue."
Liu Zongqiang shut up immediately, but his eyes were a little cold: "Mom, are you really going to do this? Then apart from paying alimony, I won't care about you in the future."
"I wish so." Shi Chu said lightly.
The conversation between mother and son ended on an unpleasant note.
Zhao Shuwen still failed to coax her son. Liu Zixuan cried so hard that he was hoarse. Liu Zongqiang had to go over to see what was going on. After all, he still loved his son very much.
"Let me try." Liu Zongqiang said as he took over Liu Zixuan.
Zhao Shuwen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed the child to him impatiently, as if throwing away a fire bomb. She was really annoyed by the crying of the child.
"Go and cook." Liu Zongqiang ordered again.
"Mom won't do it?" Zhao Shuwen blurted out.
Liu Zongqiang glanced at her and said, "Choose one between coaxing the child and cooking."
"I choose to cook!" Zhao Shuwen said immediately. She was so tortured by her son's crying that she was willing to do even the cooking that she had never liked in the past.
Now it was Liu Zongqiang's turn to feel the loud cry of his son. Usually, when he came back and heard Liu Zixuan crying loudly, he would be proud that his son was healthy. But now, listening to the child's crying at a close distance and for a long time, he could not continue to enjoy it. Instead, he became more and more impatient because he could not coax him for a long time.
"Stop crying. Are you hungry? Or do you want to pee?" Liu Zongqiang had no experience in raising children. He thought that there were only two reasons why children cried. Indeed, these two reasons were the most common. As soon as Liu Zongqiang opened Liu Zixuan's diaper, a small stream of warm water shot straight into his face. He was stunned for a while before he realized that it was his son's urine. His son had peed on his face...
Liu Zongqiang's face suddenly twisted. He didn't care whether the child was crying or not. He put him on the bed and immediately ran into the bathroom to wash his face.
Liu Zixuan hadn't finished peeing yet, so the bed was wet. Now, Liu Zongqiang only needed to wash his face, but now he had to wash the sheets and quilts as well.
Zhao Shuwen had just washed the rice and started cooking when she came in to check on the situation. She was surprised to see her son lying on the bed crying loudly, and her husband was nowhere to be seen. She immediately looked down at her and scolded, "Where have you been, Liu Zongqiang? Your son peed, but you didn't change his diaper? Ah, he even wet the bed, Liu Zongqiang!"
Liu Zongqiang washed his face several times, but still smelled like urine. Although it was his son's urine, he still felt a little uncomfortable. When he heard Zhao Shuwen calling him, he hurried out.
"He just peed on my face and I went to wash it," he explained.
"Why are you washing your face? How do you take care of the child? He even wet the bed? Are you here to cause trouble?" Zhao Shuwen scolded angrily.
"How would I know he would pee on the bed? You are so capable, why don't you take care of the child yourself?" Liu Zongqiang was already in a bad mood, and now he was scolded by his wife, he became even angrier and started arguing with Zhao Shuwen...
When Shi Chu heard that the couple who usually had a good relationship started to quarrel louder and louder, he could not help but let out a mocking smile. Look, without the original owner's omnipotent nanny, the loving and sweet young couple also started to quarrel over the child.
The original owner didn't have much stuff at all, so it didn't take her long to pack up. She then picked up her phone and started ordering takeout. Although it was a smart phone, it was an old phone that had been used by the original owner's husband who had passed away not long ago. It was old and jagged and would occasionally freeze, but it still had basic software, so she registered and ordered some takeout.
The original owner still had some money, but she had not had time to give it all to her descendants. If Shi Chu had come later, and the original owner had given away all the money, she would not even be able to afford a takeout meal.
More than half an hour later, the takeaway arrived and Shi Chu went out of the restaurant to eat. Zhao Shuwen hadn't finished cooking yet. When she saw that Shi Chu had already started eating, she snorted coldly.
Shi Chu pretended not to hear and ordered takeout with her own money. Even if Zhao Shuwen had any opinions, she had to keep them to herself.
Liu Zixuan finally stopped crying at this time. It was not known whether it was because he had finished peeing or because he was exhausted, but he finally stopped crying.
Liu Zongqiang carried him out and saw Shi Chu eating takeout. He was about to say something but suddenly stopped. He just walked around with his son in his arms and ignored Shi Chu.
Shi Chu went downstairs after dinner. After all, she was in the city, and the city was more lively at night than during the day. After she went downstairs, she went straight to a barber shop and asked the hairdresser to give her a fashionable and elegant haircut.
"Sister, do you want to dye your hair? Your hair quality looks good with dye. I think chestnut brown is a good color for you." The hairdresser spared no effort to sell her hair.
"No, I just want a simple haircut." Shi Chu refused. The original owner was only in his forties and had no gray hair yet. It was just that he was too busy and neglected to take care of himself, so his hair was a little dry and rough, and he didn't have a hairstyle, which made him look a little old.
Shi Chu doesn't plan to become an old lady at such a young age. She wants to be a mature lady. She is in her forties. If she takes good care of herself, she can still live for another forty years. Isn't she still young?
"How about a hair treatment with oil? I think your hair is a little dry." The barber suggested again.
"That's fine." Shi Chu agreed.
So a few hours later, Shi Chu, with short hair that only reached his shoulders and chin and whose hair had become black, shiny and smooth, walked out of the barber shop. He seemed to be ten years younger, and his dull and thin face was glowing with new radiance.
