Chapter 42: Why Ask of a Woman
"Your dad is against it!"
"Against your mother!"
Sheng Chen and Fang Shanmu spoke almost in unison.
"I already knew that this was the result, alas......" Xiang Dongyi sat in the middle of the two, "I'm so young now, if I go abroad, I will definitely not be able to take care of myself, Mom, do you want to go abroad with me to accompany you?"
"I ......" Sheng Chen didn't think about it so much, she also knew that many mothers went abroad to accompany her, but they were all built on the basis of family harmony, at least men should stay in the country to make money, "I want to go abroad with you, who will make money to give you tuition and living expenses?"
"You can also work abroad to earn money. Xiang Dong winked at Fang Shanmu slyly, Fang Shanmu understood, knowing that his son was unwilling to go out.
"My mother's English has been returned to the teacher, and I have to re-study when I go abroad, and I have to pass the language barrier. And my mother doesn't know what she can do abroad......" Sheng Chen looked embarrassed, she was able to gain a foothold in the company because of Mengwei's care in China, if she went abroad, she was not familiar with life, and she relied on herself, she really didn't dare to take risks.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can cover all the expenses of your mother and son. Fang Shanmu took advantage of the situation and smiled, "I have changed my mind, my son can go abroad, you can also go over, I will find a way to pay the cost, and ensure that your mother and son have no worries about food and clothing." ”
"Fang Shanmu, you...... It's too much. Sheng Chen noticed the small movements and tacit understanding between his son and Fang Shanmu, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, his son has had a good relationship with Fang Shanmu since he was a child, and has a common language, although he relies more on her in life, but in some major matters, he prefers to discuss with Fang Shanmu.
"Alright, alright, don't use me as a shield. I know you still have feelings, and you don't want to divorce, but you don't want to be the first to bring it up, for fear of losing face, right? How old are you, how can you still be like a child?" Xiang Dong grabbed Sheng Chen's hand with his right hand, and pulled Fang Shanmu's hand with his left hand, "You shake hands, take a step back, admit your mistakes to each other, and then discuss calmly, okay?"
Although they were still reluctant, the two couldn't resist their son and shook hands.
Xiang Dong stood up: "I still have homework to write, anyway, my attitude is consistent, I don't want you to divorce, but if you really have no feelings, you quarrel as soon as you meet, and it doesn't please look at each other, I won't stop you, I have to let you live or die to let you be together, I'm not so selfish." But there is one thing, whether you leave or not, it is a matter of my life choice, please respect my thoughts. ”
Walking up the stairs, Xiang Dong stopped again: "Please be a little more mature, don't be angry like a child, okay?" You all have to reflect on what you are doing wrong, why you didn't clear the game of marriage." Is it because there are many reasons for the other party, or is it because there are many reasons for yourself? Just like playing a game team, you like to blame your teammates when you fail, and if you don't find the reasons from yourself, you will never be able to pass the test. ”
The son had been gone for a long time, but neither Fang Shanmu nor Sheng Chen spoke, and both of them were thoughtful.
I don't know how long it took, Fang Shanmu's WeChat rang, and it was a message from Gu Hao: "Convenient call?"
"Inconvenient. Fang Shanmu replied and looked up at Sheng Chen, "I propose that the matter of whether my son is studying abroad or not should be put on hold for now, and then we will talk about it when we have reached a complete consensus." ”
“…… All right. Sheng Chen hesitated for a moment and pulled his hair together, "The marriage is not separated for the time being, wait until you find a solution for your son to study abroad, what do you think?"
Fang Shanmu cocked Erlang's legs, squinted his eyes and laughed: "It's okay not to leave, the main thing is that I am afraid that it will affect you to find true love again, after all, now you have two choices, Meng Wei and Zheng Yuandong are very good, you must be very entangled, right?"
"Are you afraid of affecting you?" Sheng Chen also crossed Erlang's legs, smiling happily and proudly, "One is a local girl, a rich second generation, and the other is a girl from other places, although she has no house, she is gentle and cute, Cheng Pengpeng and Hu Pan are all types you like, you must be very nostalgic for the evil old society where you can be polygamous now, right?"
"To correct you, in the old society of China, there was never polygamy, but monogamy and polygamy was good? The ancients still respected their wives very much, and there was a rule of endless three. Fang Shanmu put on a posture of an old pedant, "First, the wife who was poor when she got married and later developed cannot be divorced. Those who have kept filial piety for their husband's family for three years must not rest. If the woman's parents are deceased and there is no family, she cannot rest. ”
"If you don't want to divorce, just say it, if you agree to one of my conditions and apologize to me, I will consider giving you another chance, no need to hint, I know that I meet the first of the three endless rules. Sheng Chen smiled happily, "Fang Shanmu, we've known each other for so long, no matter what tricks or tricks you have, I'll know it all clearly, so there's no need to play tricks between us, OK?"
Fang Shanmu really didn't want to divorce, to be honest, if it weren't for Sheng Chen's too strict discipline and too much restraint on him, his marriage with Sheng Chen would be perfect. Although Sheng Chen also has such and such small problems, he can accept and maintain deep love, where is there a woman with shortcomings? Just like there is no perfect man! Like because of advantages, love is to tolerate and accept shortcomings.
It's just that Sheng Chen's later actions exceeded his bottom line, and he couldn't bear it anymore so he rebelled, and he has been in a cold war to this day.
Divorce is not the first option, it is an option without a choice. But if he doesn't leave, he still returns to the previous state where Sheng Chen pointed fingers at him, and he won't agree.
"Didn't you have three conditions before?" Fang Shanmu remembered clearly, Sheng Chen's three conditions constrained him everywhere from work to life, and he wanted to have another child to restrain him, so it was strange that he agreed, "Why has it become one now?"
"I figured it out, men can't control it, and instead of worrying about him every day to guard against his affairs, it's better to improve your charm. In this way, none of us now talks about divorce, and no one interferes in each other's careers, with a three-year time limit, after three years, whoever develops better, who has the right to speak, who can decide who is the master of the family, dare to agree?" Sheng Chen understands one thing, the reason why Fang Shanmu does not interfere with her decisions in family affairs, and her interference in his work affairs, he is extremely disgusted and does not accept it, isn't it because he is very successful in his career and she has no achievements?
Now that she has re-entered the workplace, Fang Shanmu has also started again after failure, the two are equivalent to standing on the same starting line, I don't believe that with her ability and connections, after three years, she can't keep up with Fang Shanmu. No, I don't believe that she can't surpass Fang Shanmu and achieve her own career!
Now that her son has grown up and is sensible, she no longer has to take care of everything as before, although she really wants to have a second child and cultivate a new force for Fang Shanmu, but now she understands that women have more responsibilities for nurturing offspring than men, and they have also undertaken more housework, so why should women be required to achieve the same achievements in their careers as men? Women are not three-headed and six-armed, and can take care of all aspects.
But women are not worse than men in their careers, it's just that she sacrificed herself more and achieved a family, and now she just wants to let Fang Shanmu know that she was not as bad as Fang Shanmu when she was in school, and she really wants to go to the society and enter the workplace, and she is also an excellent workplace elite.
Fang Shanmu was stunned, and then smiled meaningfully: "Three years...... Okay, just three years. However, we have to make three chapters of the law, first, if anyone changes his mind first, falls in love with someone else, and falls in love, he must notify the other party in advance, don't let the other party be stupid, and bear the corresponding liability for breach of contract. Second, I am an entrepreneur, you are working, if there is no comparison in terms of income alone, then we can divide a rule, which is also fair to you. If you only decide whether you win or lose based on income, I am afraid that you will lose badly. Third, don't take winning or losing too seriously, the important thing is the process, live seriously, but have a relaxed attitude. At the end of the day, no matter who wins or loses, I hope you have a good time in the past three years. ”
The expression on Sheng Chen's face froze, first her eyebrows moved a few times, the corners of her mouth curled again, and then her eyes turned slightly red, and she hurriedly got up to cover up her gaffe by pouring water, Fang Shanmu's last sentence hit the fragility in her heart and made her heart warm and infinite.
But although she was moved in her heart, she regained her composure after a while, and still said stiffly: "If we have one more additional condition, for example, if you fall in love with Cheng Pengpeng or Hu Pan, or which little girl, I will not hold you responsible for the affair." In the same way, if I have a relationship with Monway, how about you acquiesce to our relationship?"
"No, absolutely not!" Fang Shanmu jumped up, "If such a situation really occurs, no, when there are signs, we must tell the other party, after all, our marriage is still in existence." But don't worry, if you really fall in love with Meng Wei or someone else, I will let you go and go through the divorce procedures with you as soon as possible. ”
"Me too. Sheng Chen's low voice seemed to be talking to herself, she had mixed feelings in her heart, why was she always too stubborn in front of Fang Shanmu, she had to work against him, if she properly accepted defeat, even if she was coquettish and tactful, Fang Shanmu would regress.
Maybe it's because she and him have gone all the way, in her mind, no matter how successful Fang Shanmu is, how mature and charming he is, he is still the little boy who worked hard to pursue her, and he is a young boy who is willing to pay everything for her and is not afraid of sacrifice to overcome all difficulties, Fang Shanmu in the eyes of outsiders is tall, handsome, successful, personable, and has connotation. But Fang Shanmu in her heart is green, childish, rustic, lazy, arrogant, and very irritable.
