Yang Chunhua rarely stayed indoors. She placed a vegetable basket on the table and absentmindedly picked some old leaves. As soon as she heard the sound of someone coming upstairs, she immediately craned her neck to look outside. Finally, to her delight, Chen Junsheng returned.
Who did your dad go to see?
Chen Junsheng hid in the shadows and followed his father. He saw a woman put a lunchbox in his hand. The two stood under a tree not far from the factory and talked for a while, with laughter coming from time to time.
I immediately ran home without stopping, and took several deep breaths after going upstairs.
"A woman."
Yang Chunhua waved him off to go out and play, and then sat at the table for a long time without moving.
It's perfectly normal for a son of his age to get divorced and start dating again. I'm just a little worried about the family's finances. No wonder he gave me three yuan less this month; he spent it with his girlfriend.
I don't know who she is, but her son isn't someone anyone can marry. At the very least, he can't be worse than Guan Lian, and he has to be a full-time employee.
Ideally, the bride's family should also be capable and provide regular support. After they get married, she should manage her son's salary as before.
Thinking about it this way, the loss of three yuan is nothing. At worst, she can endure it for a few months, and then there will be one more person in the family to take care of her.
However, she was still worried. Her son was not the same as before. Guan Lian had delayed her for so many years, and she still had a son to raise. How could those women be interested in him?
At her age, she wouldn't marry a divorced woman, would she? To be honest, Yang Chunhua looks down on divorced women; how could they be worthy of her son? But the blind dates she went on recently really hurt her, so these are probably her only options now.
If she is indeed divorced, then there are many things to consider: Why did she divorce? How did she treat her mother-in-law at her ex-husband's house? Did she bring any children back with her?
Also wanting to show off her old lady status, she decided to stake out the place herself and find out who the woman was.
Liu Xia and Chen Wei have known each other for almost two months. During this time, she has been very gentle and considerate in front of him, acting like a perfect woman.
Men always crave what's almost within their grasp, so I kept him hanging on. In the past two months, we'd only held hands once and hadn't done anything else.
Moreover, I have been getting up early to make him breakfast for quite some time now. Although he pays for the breakfasts, I have put in a lot of effort.
Liu Xia naturally wanted to get something out of him. She had two children to support, and since returning to her parents' home after the divorce, her parents, brother, and sister-in-law had treated her rudely and had threatened to kick her out after two more months. She had to find a long-term meal ticket before that deadline.
She married young, but her husband was a scoundrel who stayed home drinking, gambling, and whoring instead of working to earn work points. He also beat her. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and divorced him, taking both children with her.
Although she was somewhat attractive, she had spent so many years in the countryside and couldn't compare to the well-maintained young wives in the city. Moreover, she had two children to support, so the widowers who had lost their wives, apart from the older ones, didn't even look at her.
After inquiring around, she also felt that those men were no good. Although their wives had died, they usually still had parents and children left by their ex-wives. How could the salary earned by one man be enough to support so many people?
She used to be so blinded by love that she married someone she liked without a second thought. This time, Liu Xia no longer believes in love and romance; she only wants to find someone rich.
Unfortunately, after picking and choosing for so long, the rich men didn't want her, and the men with poor conditions didn't want her either. In the end, she could only look at Chen Wei.
"You need to find a way to win his heart. He only has an elderly mother and a son at home. His ex-wife left with another son."
I heard that his ex-wife came back and made a scene, wanting to take both children with her. She said, "Once you marry him, you can send the younger one away. Wouldn't life be easier then?"
Although when you ask around, Chen Wei's reputation isn't very good. He's blindly filial, and even at his age, he still treats his mother's words as gospel. He used to even hand over his salary to her.
His mother was not someone to be trifled with, otherwise his ex-wife wouldn't have divorced him, but Liu Xia didn't care.
She's difficult to deal with. Who's more difficult than her mother-in-law from the countryside? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Give her some time and we'll definitely teach that old woman a lesson.
She came over early that morning with a lunchbox, and Chen Wei was already standing there waiting for her. After taking the lunchbox, he noticed that her hands were a little red from the heat, so he reached out and grabbed her hand.
"How could you be so careless? Look, your hand is all red."
He gently stroked it for a while, and even lowered his head to blow on her hand. Liu Xia gritted her teeth and barely managed to control her expression. He was over 30 years old, greasier than lard in winter, and he still made such a gesture. Did he think she was 18?
Her hands have done all sorts of things before; she's not a child anymore. Why is she making such a fuss over a little burn?
Chen Wei naturally didn't see Liu Xia's expression. He held her hand and kept gently squeezing it. Liu Xia tried to twitch a few times but couldn't, so she had to force herself to endure it. Chen Wei then assumed that she had given in and, after kneading her hand several times with his fingers, his smile became more and more smug.
Her tone softened, and she even tried to get closer to pull him into her arms, but Liu Xia pretended to be shy and jumped to the side, saying, "Oh, Brother Chen, be careful not to let anyone see us."
He pulled his hand back and rubbed it against his pants several times behind his back.
"Brother Chen is just worried about you. Besides, so what if someone sees us? We're not doing anything shady in private."
Hehe, even if I do something bad, I'll stay away from people and won't ruin your reputation.
He thought he was flirting with Liu Xia, but little did he know that Liu Xia had to grind her back teeth to stop herself from rolling her eyes.
