After marriage, Zhang Shijie slowly discovered that Wang Xia was a particularly casual person. She wore casual clothes, cooked casually, and never cleaned the house.
I dare not open the wardrobe at home at all. As soon as I open it, there will be a "crash" sound and a bunch of things will roll out like a mudslide.
Zhang Shijie is a very clean person. He doesn't have much stuff, but he keeps it neat and tidy, so he is particularly uncomfortable with this phenomenon.
At first, he had a serious talk with Wang Xia, but she didn't take it seriously at all:
"The clothes are all in the closet anyway, so I can just look through them and take whatever I need. Why fold them? It takes too much time."
Zhang Shijie is a man of few words, so he seldom quarrels with others. If the other party doesn't want to, he can only deal with it himself.
Every time he cleaned up, Wang Xia would be happy for a long time, but within three days, the wardrobe would return to its original state. He was always doing useless work.
The same goes for the living room, where children's toys, cars, and clothes are scattered everywhere. Every time before opening the door, Zhang Shijie has to prepare himself mentally outside, for he is afraid that one day he will not be able to control himself and go crazy.
The days went by in such a mess. One day, Wang Xia got angry again. She gave Zhang Shijie an ultimatum: he must find someone to help, otherwise she would take the child back to her own home.
Wang Xia's home is in the countryside, which is not very convenient in all aspects. Zhang Shijie is extremely reluctant to let her go back, but he has no choice but to ask his sister for help.
Zhang Nailin is the most sentimental person in the family and she is also very kind. She will do her best to help anyone in her hometown who has difficulties.
It turns out that Zhang Nailin’s workplace is not far from Zhang Shijie’s home, so every day after get off work at noon, Zhang Nailin would go home to help his sister-in-law prepare meals before returning to work.
This kind of life continued until the child was over one year old, and Zhang Nailin was so tired that she lost more than ten pounds.
When the child was over one year old, Wang Xia took him back to her hometown. This time, Zhang Shijie did not stop her. After all, they couldn't always make their sister suffer.
In 2008, Zhang Weibao's daughter graduated from university, and Wang Fuzi wanted Zhang Weiren to help her find a job.
Zhang Weiren has retired and no longer has any power. It's okay to arrange a job for her, but she has to pay for a quota. A quota in a formal unit costs about 100,000 yuan.
When Wang Fuzi heard that he had to spend money, his face turned black:
"Why would we ask you for help if we have to spend money? You're the child's uncle, but you can't even help with this little thing."
In recent years, Wang Fuzi has been bent over by foreign debt, and she gets a headache whenever money is mentioned.
There was no other way, Zhang Yuelin had to find a job on her own. However, it was not easy to find a job. Freshly graduated college students usually only earned around 1,500 yuan.
Wang Fuzi is a very strong-willed person, and the same goes for her children. As soon as Zhang Yuelin graduated, she stopped giving her money, leaving her to fend for herself. If others can find a job, she can too.
Zhang Yuelin is a pragmatic child. She knows that it is difficult to live in a big city with her abilities, and she has no money, so she returned to her hometown and worked as a teacher in a primary school in the county town.
When Wang Fuzi learned about this, he scolded her directly:
"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. You finally passed the exam, why do you want to come back? Haven't you had enough of the days facing the loess?"
"Mom, I don't have a penny. Even if I find a job now, it's not a formal job. It's better for me to go back to my hometown and settle down."
Wang Fuzi was even more angry. She had spent so much money to send her to college, hoping that she would bring honor to the family. Why did she come back again?
"You idiot, the salaries out there are so high, what can you do with 800 yuan a month now?"
Zhang Yuelin explained again:
"Mom, my salary will increase in the future. Besides, I'm happy to be closer to home."
Wang Fuzi scolded her daughter for a long time, and finally sat on a stool and cried loudly. She didn't know what she was crying for. Maybe she was crying for her own fate, or maybe she was crying for her daughter's failure to live up to her expectations.
In fact, Zhang Yuelin also felt aggrieved. She did not tell her mother that she had borrowed money for the trip home. Since she received her diploma, her family had not given her a penny and did not consider whether she could survive.
In Wang Fuzi's mind, if others can find a job after going to college, her daughter must be able to do the same, and her daughter cannot be worse than others.
Zhang Yuelin worked outside for two months. She found it difficult to adapt to the competition in the workplace. She felt confused and scared, so she took the opportunity to return to her hometown.
But Wang Fuzi didn't understand her. She thought that the wages in her hometown were low and the environment was poor, and coming back would be a kind of degradation.
The mother and daughter failed to reach an agreement, and Zhang Yuelin returned to school alone. Wang Fuzi focused her attention on her son again.
Her son repeated his senior year of high school and was admitted to a second-tier university in the province. Wang Fuzi was not happy about it, but there was nothing she could do.
Originally, she wanted her son to repeat a year, but he was not happy about it. Her son had a bad temper, so she was always afraid to be too strict with him.
Zhang Weibao thought it would be better for his daughter to live closer to home so that they could rely on her when they get old.
As time went by, Wang Fuzi gradually accepted the reality. She realized that she could not change the status quo and could only helplessly choose to accept her fate.
Although her heart was still filled with pain and resentment, what could she do in the face of her daughter's return? She had no choice but to endure it all silently.
This feeling of powerlessness made her feel extremely heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, which she could not let go.
After the internship period, Zhang Yuelin's salary plus tutoring fees amounted to about 3,000 yuan per month. For a small county town, this salary is already very good.
So, she took on the responsibility of paying for her younger brother's tuition and living expenses. Zhang Weibao's salary remained at 1,500 yuan. He was old and it was not easy for him to change jobs, so he could only stay in the coal mine.
This is because he has worked for many years, otherwise how would he have gotten the job? The coal mine only recruits those under 45 years old now.
With Zhang Yuelin's help, life at home improved. The couple prepared to save money to pay off their debts. They finally saw hope in life.
At this moment, a girl from the next-door neighbor came back with her boyfriend. The girl was very beautiful, with upturned eyes and a pair of particularly beautiful peach blossom eyes.
She started working after graduating from junior high school. Over the years, she has contributed a lot of money to her family and has become the envy of her neighbors.
Look, this time she came back with her boyfriend. The man looks to be about 40 years old, but he drives a Mercedes-Benz, which is said to be worth about one million yuan.
This hit Wang Fuzi's lung again. She felt that her daughter was a waste compared to others.
