Chapter 53 IOU
Jiang Xiaomei and Zhao Xiaofei had a big fight in the house, and Zhao Xiaofei didn't want to comfort her. He went straight to bed. Jiang Xiaomei sat on the bed and cried alone. After crying for a while, Zhao Xiaofei didn't come to comfort her, so she packed up and drove home.
When they got home, their mother Miao Guizhi asked, "Isn't your mother-in-law moving in today? Why don't you spend more time with her? Why did you come back?"
Jiang Xiaomei didn't want her mother to worry about her, so she forced a smile and said, "This means I'll have fewer opportunities to go home in the future! I'll spend more time with you if I can!"
"My daughter is still the best. I regret having your brother! Giving birth to a son is useless now. He doesn't even say a word when he comes back. Every day he always chats with Qin Baobao from your company and goes out with her." Miao Guizhi complained.
"He's grown up already, he can't be like a child! I guess he's planning to have a serious relationship this time. Besides, Qin Baobao is quite pretty and capable. She can learn a lot of things quickly, she's a very smart girl." Jiang Xiaomei has a good impression of Qin Baobao.
"You have to be more careful. Don't hire such a beautiful girl in the future. This will only cause trouble for you! Xiaofei is rich now and is on the news. It is inevitable that some women will set their sights on him! Also, let's move quickly! Several relatives in our family want to come and borrow money. And your father called me, he also wants to come and see us." Miao Guizhi said.
"How dare my dad call you? How did he know our phone number? What does he want to do? Isn't that woman very rich? Why did she come back to find us?" Jiang Xiaomei got angry whenever she mentioned her father. She didn't know why, her father looked ordinary, but he was very talkative. When they were still living in a bungalow, her father met a rich woman. In order to live with this woman, he fought with her mother every day, just to get a divorce. Later, her mother couldn't stand it anymore and agreed to a divorce. Her father never came back since then. She was 18 years old that year!
She remembered the last time she saw her father, he was driving a Honda and taking a little boy to the mall to buy sneakers. Seeing the boy's appearance, Jiang Xiaomei could vaguely tell that the child was probably her father's and that woman's. Seeing that scene, Jiang Xiaomei concluded that her father had long since died and had no connection to their family.
Today, whenever her mother mentioned her father, she was filled with anger. The hurt he had caused her was so great that it made her believe that all men were unreliable. Even at that time, she didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Xiaofei and wanted to break up. She was afraid of meeting an unreliable man. If Zhao Xiaofei hadn't been by her side all these years to comfort her, it would have been difficult for her to get over the shadow of her parents' divorce!
Miao Guizhi didn't say anything. She didn't want to meet her ex-husband. This was the knot in her heart.
"Let's move tomorrow! Move to my place and live there for a while!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Will Xiaofei be unhappy?" Miao Guizhi asked.
"If his mother can move in, why can't my mother move in? I'm the hostess there, Mom! Live here with peace of mind!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Miao Guizhi said. In fact, she didn't want to live with her son-in-law. She already had a son and didn't want to disturb her daughter's life.
The next morning, Zhao Xiaofei went straight to Yanyu Tower and then returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion. Jiang Xiaomei had already moved with her mother and brother. Liu Aiping, of course, received a call from Jiang Xiaomei, who explained the reason. Hearing that her family was in the same situation, Liu Aiping urged them to move in as well.
After moving, Liu Aiping prepared a table full of dishes, intending to discuss the details of the wedding with her mother-in-law. After dinner, the three women washed the dishes and cleaned the house. Jiang Di, meanwhile, went to Zhao Xiaofei's study.
Zhao Xiaofei's study was simple, with two rows of cabinets and a computer desk and chair. Jiang Di went in to find the IOU for 430,000 yuan he had written to Zhao Xiaofei. This IOU had become a nightmare for him. Although it seemed his brother-in-law might not ask him to pay it back, he was always afraid that someone would find out one day.
He opened the drawer of his computer desk, but found nothing. He then turned his attention to the wardrobe, which was filled with Hanfu at the top and sportswear at the bottom. Jiang Di was trying to recall what Zhao Xiaofei had been wearing during those days. Just then, Liu Aiping and Jiang Xiaomei entered.
Jiang Xiaomei asked: "Why are you in this room?"
"Aren't you guys cleaning the house? I think I can do some work too and help my brother-in-law tidy up the clothes." Jiang Di said embarrassedly.
"Forget it! You should go and have some fun. Many of the clothes in here are your brother-in-law's favorites, so don't touch them. Last time I wanted to clean them up, he wouldn't let me." Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Okay, stop cleaning up! You young people should just do what you should do!" said Liu Aiping.
Jiang Di didn't dare to say anything and had to go out. Jiang Xiaomei stayed and cleaned the room with Liu Aiping. Jiang Xiaomei was tall and checked the Hanfu on top, while Liu Aiping checked the sportswear on the bottom row, and folded the ones that were not neat! Liu Aiping said while cleaning up: "You said Xiaofei's hair is longer than mine, and he is not afraid of it getting messy when sleeping. I don't know what aesthetic standards you young people have now? This Hanfu is expensive for several thousand yuan a piece."
"We now call it cultural revival and cultural confidence! Isn't this what our ancestors left us? Now that we have the conditions, let him stay if he likes it!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"That's impossible! When his father married me, he liked to smoke and drink. After we got married, I took on his smoking habit. Men can't be spoiled in everything!" Liu Aiping said as she folded clothes. When she folded the last piece of clothes, Liu Aiping felt like there was a ball of paper in the pocket of the clothes. So she reached out and took out the ball of paper, thinking: This child, he put the clothes in the cabinet without taking out the things in them. He didn't even wash them first! She put the ball of paper in her pocket. Then she said: "He put the clothes in without washing them. This child is really good! You have to take care of his habit of not loving cleanliness in the future!"
