After one night, Zhang Weifang's anger subsided a little. When she saw breakfast on the table, she decided to have another good talk with Lu Shi.
Lu Shi's face was as calm as a pool of still water, without the slightest ripple, as if no emotion could create a ripple on it. However, his seemingly calm eyes secretly flashed with a cunning light, as if he was secretly observing Zhang Weifang's every move.
When he saw Zhang Weifang finish his breakfast, he couldn't help but feel a little happy: it seemed that the other party had calmed down. After all, delicious food can always bring pleasure and satisfaction. Perhaps this hearty breakfast also calmed Zhang Weifang's inner dissatisfaction and anger.
After dinner, An An washed the dishes on her own initiative, and Lu Shi pushed the cart to take Zhang Weifang to work.
Zhang Weifang was in a bad mood all day today. She was thinking about how to persuade him.
Xiao Hu also noticed Zhang Weifang's silence, so she quietly asked:
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Zhang Weifang smiled casually.
Zhang Weifang didn't want to say much about the couple's affairs in public.
After dinner, An An went to do homework, and the couple sat directly on the sofa as if they had agreed beforehand.
Lu Shi spoke first:
"Weifang, I promise I won't mess around anymore. I'll only go once a month. I'll be very careful."
Zhang Weifang didn't expect Lu Shi to still not give up this idea. She was anxious and angry, and her words became particularly fierce:
"You still want to go? My words are in vain, right? I told you I just want to live a down-to-earth life. Can't you just be more content? Why do you have to do something that makes me unhappy?"
Seeing Zhang Weifang's excitement and flushed face, Lu Shi couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He frowned and muttered to himself, "Why are you so easily excited? This is obviously a good thing, why do you have to stop him?"
However, he did not show this emotion, but just looked at her silently, trying to calm himself down. After all, now was not the time to lose his temper, he needed to solve the problem at hand.
"Weifang, now is a great time to make money. It's like pie in the sky. Only a fool would give it up. If you're worried, I can always arrange for someone else to go, right?"
Zhang Weifang knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she asked one last question:
"What if you get caught one day? Have you ever thought about me and An An?"
Lu Shi leaned on the sofa irritably, not knowing how to explain. He felt that the policy had changed and he would not be arrested.
The conversation between the two people ended in a cold war.
In order to stop arguing, Lu Shi went to An An's room on his own initiative. An An had just finished his homework and when he saw his father coming again, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Dad, did you quarrel with my mom again?"
Lu Shi spoke with difficulty:
"Your mother is so stubborn. She always stops me from going to the South."
"Dad, if my mom doesn't agree, just listen to her. Why do you have to make her angry?"
Lu Shi looked at An An with a cold face:
"What do you know? You have to seize opportunities to make money."
An An ignored Lu Shi's cold face and said the ugly words in advance:
"Okay, then you should work hard to make money. If my mom doesn't want you anymore, you'll regret it. Let me make it clear, if that day ever comes, I'll follow my mom."
Lu Shi was so angry at An An's words that his veins were throbbing. He was also frightened by An An's words:
"Get lost."
Lu Shi lay on the bed and thought carefully about An An's words. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He was living a happy life now and had never thought about the word separation.
"But what if Zhang Weifang brings it up?" Lu Shi secretly asked himself in his heart.
He thought again, they have been married for more than ten years and have such a good relationship, so it definitely won't happen, and he hasn't made any mistakes of principle.
It was as if a fierce tug-of-war was going on in Lu Shi's mind. On one side, a small voice was comforting him, saying, "It's okay, it's just a small thing, don't worry too much." On the other side, a louder voice was warning him, "This may be much more serious than you think!"
In this way, the two voices kept arguing and pulling in his mind, making Lu Shi feel extremely entangled and confused.
He tossed and turned in bed all night and couldn't fall asleep. Lu Shi, who hadn't slept all night, had bloodshot eyes and his face became very pale. His thoughts became more and more confused and his mood became heavier.
Zhang Weifang was so angry that she cried secretly in her bed all night, her tears soaking the pillow. She felt wronged and helpless. She didn't know how to face the current predicament, and her heart was filled with helplessness and confusion.
She felt that she was really useless. She was almost forty years old, but still unable to cope with the various difficulties in life.
She didn't know what other families were like. At this moment, she felt that the happiness she once thought of was gradually moving away.
Zhang Weifang took ice cubes out of the refrigerator and gently applied them to her eyes, trying to relieve the stinging sensation.
She closed her eyes, feeling the cool temperature gradually seeping deep into her skin, bringing a brief comfort, however, her heart could not calm down.
She didn't want to face Lu Shi. She didn't know how to communicate with him. Every quarrel with him was like an exhausting battle. She was no longer able to bear such torture.
Zhang Weifang didn't eat. After washing up, she hurried out.
The sun was shining outside and the breeze was not dry. Looking at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the road and breathing in the breath of nature, Zhang Weifang's mood also became calm.
The sun shone softly on her face, making her feel warm. Zhang Weifang smiled and said to herself in her heart:
"come on!"
Now she has no shortage of money or love, so there is no hurdle that she cannot overcome. As for men, she just needs to let nature take its course.
After figuring everything out, Zhang Weifang held his head high and walked forward.
Seeing that Zhang Weifang hadn't eaten and ignored him, Lu Shi felt very upset. Was she really going to break up with him? Why didn't she even eat the food he cooked?
An An was a smart kid. Seeing his parents' current state, he felt that the situation was not good. So on the way to school, he secretly called his brother:
"Brother, I'm An An. My parents are having a fight. Can you come back when you have time?"
"Okay, I'll go back today."
Hu Zi just graduated this year and was assigned to the city criminal police team. He has just been working for two months. Every day is busy and fulfilling, and everyone in the team takes good care of him.
The working hours of criminal police are not fixed. In order to avoid worrying his parents, Hu Zi always lives in the dormitory and has not been home for two months.
Hu Zi also missed his family very much. Coincidentally, An An called him, and he decided to go home to visit them.
