Chapter 57: She Suffers Retribution
Weekends are the days I used to look forward to the most, but now I am the most scared, because I don't even have a job on weekends, even if I go shopping, I can only be alone, and being alone only makes me feel more lonely.
I didn't sleep as late on Saturday as I used to, I sat up at six o'clock when my phone alarm sounded, and even though I was actually sleepy, I could still find a reason to get up firmly.
If I have the idea of lying in bed, I say to myself: "Shu Menglu, do you still want to live a decadent and lazy life? Don't forget that now you have no husband and no home, you can only rely on yourself in everything, if you can't learn to be strong and can't cheer up, then your life will be completely over." ”
This trick allows me to not only get up on time on weekdays, but also on weekends, if Zhou Mingchuan sees it, he will definitely open his mouth in surprise, but unfortunately he never has this opportunity again.
I got up and made my bed, went to wash up, and then went downstairs.
There is a lake across the neighborhood, and some people run around it in the morning and square dance in the open space next to it in the evening, and I started to get up early every day to run after I found this place.
Today, like the other day, I'm going to go for a run while listening to the music, and then I'll go to breakfast, and I'll plan what I'm going to do in the morning when I get back.
When I was halfway around the lake, a man waved at me, "Hey, Miss Shu, what a coincidence." ”
Who's calling my name?
I stopped and looked at the man who was walking towards me across from me, vaguely familiar, and then remembered that it was the man I had hit on Monday morning.
He introduced himself that day, but I forgot what his name was, but I could say hello without a name, like, "Hello." ”
He stood still in front of me, I don't know if I saw that I forgot his name or something, and introduced himself again, "My name is Li Muchi, and I am Zhou Mingchuan's old classmate." ”
"Hello Mr. Li. I took off the earplugs and smiled politely, and didn't say much else, lest he ask me about Zhou Mingchuan again.
But some people are just so uninteresting, Li Muchi immediately looked at me with a smile on his face, "What about Mingchuan, why didn't you see him, it couldn't be that he was still sleeping in the cage, right?"
I asked indifferently, "How long have you not been in touch?"
"It's been a few years, after graduation, I went to the magic capital for a few years, and I only came back in the past two years, and many old classmates can't get in touch. Li Muchi said, "By the way, can you tell me his contact information?"
It turns out that there has been no contact for so long, and it seems that their relationship back then was not very good, it should be just a classmate relationship, not a friend, otherwise even if they are separated, they will definitely have some contact.
But no matter what his relationship with Zhou Mingchuan is, I can't get along with him, "I have nothing to do with him anymore, so I'm sorry, if you want to contact him, please think of other ways." ”
"You ......" Li Muchi paused, as if looking for a suitable word to replace the word divorce.
I saw that he couldn't answer the conversation after thinking so hard, so I simply told him in a calm tone, "I am about to divorce him." ”
Li Muchi looked surprised, "What happened? You were a model couple at that time, and many people would subconsciously compare you." ”
"That was a long time ago, and I don't want to mention it again. I plugged my headphones and waved at him, "I'm going for a run, goodbye." ”
Bypassing Li Muchi, I slowly finished the remaining half of the distance, and then went to buy breakfast and took it upstairs to eat, thinking about what Li Muchi said all the way.
At that time, Zhou Mingchuan and I were indeed a model couple, many people were envious, I heard that some couples would quarrel and talk about our feelings, some of them reconciled because of this, and some of them made a more stiff quarrel.
When I went upstairs, I rested for a while and ate breakfast, looked at the time, it was only half past seven, and then went to the bedroom to take out the book I had bought last time and continue to read.
When it was almost nine o'clock, the phone rang suddenly, and it was Li Sisi who called and asked me how I was going to spend the weekend and if I needed her to accompany me.
I really don't get used to the current life of a person, but I know that it takes time for her to fall in love with Lu Zhenting, so I said that I had asked someone to go shopping and let her enjoy her two-person world.
Li Sisi didn't believe it, "Lulu, don't lie to me, how can you have the heart to go shopping at this time? You don't have to care about Zhenting, he went to the company to work overtime, I don't need to accompany him, I'd better come over to accompany you." ”
"He has to work overtime as his own boss?" I was a little surprised, after all, I had never seen my colleagues work overtime on weekends, but I had never seen my boss work overtime on weekends.
"Yes, you don't know about their company's affairs, and I've been worried about the funds recently, but unfortunately I can't help, so I can only watch and worry. Liss sighed.
Her family is just an ordinary salaryman, and she spends money by herself and doesn't know how to be modest, she is a standard moonlight family, and it is estimated that she doesn't have much savings until now, so she really can't help.
"Alright then, you come to me, we'll eat at home at noon, and go out for a walk in the afternoon. "If there is a problem with my boyfriend's company, she must be in a bad mood, and it will be even more annoying when she is bored at home, so let's get together and comfort each other.
After hanging up the phone, I didn't have the heart to read anymore, thinking that since Lu Zhenting was working overtime, Jin Yebai must also be in the company, there would not be a Song Qingya by his side, and she wouldn't know if I called him.
Thinking like this, I picked up my phone and pressed the speed dial key, looking at his name, my cold hand shook, why did I deliberately avoid Song Qingya in my first thought just now?
I'm friends with Jin Yebai, is it necessary to make sneaky contact?
The phone was quickly connected, and Jin Yebai's faint voice came, and after he recovered from his illness, he spoke a lot more in anger, "Hey, Meng Lu." ”
"Xiaobai, isn't your company's problem serious this time? Haven't you raised the money yet?" I wasn't in the mood to say hello, so I went straight to the point.
"It's okay, I'll figure it out. "Jin Yebai has always been like this, he doesn't want to cause trouble to anyone, and he wants to solve everything independently.
"How much do you want? Is 600,000 enough?" I asked.
Jin Yebai groaned for a moment, "Almost." Then he asked, "What are you doing with this all of a sudden?"
"Then how long can your company last at most, and can it last for two months?" I didn't answer, but continued to ask him.
"This should be okay, isn't it, Meng Lu, what do you want to do with these questions?" Jin Yebai was a little anxious, "Do you want to wait for the divorce to sell the house?"
"Anyway, it's useless to keep it, if I can really buy a stake in it then, it's better than guarding a house full of past, okay?" I said flatly, "Okay, I have to go down to buy groceries, let's do it first, bye-bye." ”
I hung up the phone and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, after learning that there was something wrong with their company in the hospital that day, I was thinking of a way, and finally hit the idea on the house and the existing savings on hand.
Jin Yebai's guess is right, I want to sell the house when I win the lawsuit to help them raise money to solve the crisis, I believe that with his talent, I will not lose money if I invest it.
And even if the luck is bad, it doesn't matter if the company still closes down in the end, I just think that I have no money to invest in stocks, anyway, I have hands, feet and brains to work, and I won't starve to death.
The world is really too small, I just went to the vegetable stall in the community to buy some food, and I actually met Li Muchi again, if he wasn't already weighing at the time, I thought he was deliberately following me.
"What a coincidence. Li Muchi paid the money, and when he saw me, he immediately greeted me with a smile.
"Coincidentally. I smiled back politely and detachedly, and glanced lightly at the vegetables in his hand, a handful of greens, two tomatoes, two eggs, and a little lean meat.
"You must have just moved here, right?" Li Muchi asked me with a smile, "I've lived here for more than a year, and I've never seen you before." ”
"yes. As I spoke, I looked at the dazzling array of dishes at the vegetable stall, thinking about Li Sisi's preferences and tastes, and what kind of food should I buy today.
Li Muchi didn't dwell on it like in the morning, but said gently: "I don't know what happened between you to get a divorce, but if you hate it when you look at it because of his relationship, then I'm sorry." ”
I actually don't hate Li Muchi very much, I am afraid that he will mention Zhou Mingchuan, so I deliberately maintain the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away, after all, I really don't like that topic.
Now I feel a little guilty when I hear him say this, I'm just Zhou Mingchuan who I'm sorry for, why should I be angry with a man who has not been in contact with him for many years?
"Sorry, I've not been in a good mood lately. "I apologize guiltily.
"It's okay, I'll go back first, you pick slowly, today's dish is very fresh. Li Muchi left with the dishes.
I stood in front of the vegetable stall in a daze, a little at a loss, did I do something wrong just now? Why did Li Muchi seem to be a little sad?
I sighed and picked a few dishes and went back into the kitchen, when I was choosing vegetables when I heard the door open, I didn't need to look to know that it was Li Sisi coming.
This was her rented apartment, and the keys in my hand were just backups.
"Lulu, what are you going to eat for lunch today?" she rushed to the kitchen like a monkey, looking left and right, "Wow, there's fish, it's so good, do you want me to help?"
I know she likes fish the most, and she must do what she likes, but just help, her cooking skills are the worst I've ever seen, and she is one of those who will only help.
"No need, you go to watch TV, play with your phone, and have snacks, I'll be fine for a while." "Because I have learned from the past, I naturally did not hesitate to refuse her kindness.
"You dislike me, don't you?" Li Sisi pouted, "Because last time I cut shredded radish into dices, last time I cut diced meat into cutlets, and last time I got the eggshell inside the egg, and you scrambled eggshells with tomatoes?"
"You have a good memory. I twitched the corners of my mouth, who would dare to use such a helper who can help the unhelpful? Let her cook rice into porridge, I would rather work harder myself.
"Cut, don't want it, I'm still happy to be idle. Li Sisi snorted and finally left the kitchen.
Two people have a meal, I didn't cook too many dishes, after eating, Li Sisi volunteered to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, I held a glass of water and watched on the side, there was a word of chat.
After resting for a while, we went out with our bags, and she said that she wanted to buy a new set of clothes for Lu Zhenting while her salary had not been squandered by her, and asked me to help pick them.
When I was with Zhou Mingchuan before, I bought most of his clothes from the inside out, and I am experienced in buying clothes for men.
Li Sisi is an ordinary migrant worker like me, and he is just a little bit of money after working for a month, which is not as good as Song Qingya, he can go to a brand-name store, and he doesn't even bother to look at the price and start directly.
In the end, we chose to go to the mall, where there are also some domestic brands, the quality and design are not bad, and the price is relatively fair, at least we can afford it.
Buying clothes is a trivial matter, what I didn't expect was to meet Zhao Dekai, but this is not the point, the point is that he is still holding a young girl by his side.
Although this girl is deliberately dressed up mature and sexy, I can tell at a glance that she is definitely not more than twenty years old, and the youth of her face is only found by high school students and new college students.
When I saw them, the girl was trying on clothes in a store, and Zhao Dekai kept looking at her with a squint, and the salivating look of wanting to eat and wipe her clean immediately was disgusting.
"Lulu, what are you looking at?" said Liss saw me staring at the store and pulled my hand to drag me away, "the clothes in there are not for you." ”
I grabbed Li Sisi, and quietly pointed to Zhao Dekai and the girl inside and mouthed her Nunu, "Sisi, what do you think the relationship between the two of them should be?"
At this time, in addition to the clerks in the store, there were only Zhao Dekai and the girl, Li Sisi looked at it, "Let's say it's father and daughter, the age gap doesn't seem to be enough, let's say it's a lover, this gap seems to be a little bigger, so it should be a brother and sister or an uncle and nephew, right?"
Uncles, nephews, brothers and sisters?
I shook my head with a smile, pulled Li Sisi and said as he left: "That man is Zhou Lijuan's husband, and it is said that he is a small leader in a large factory. ”
"Really?" Li Sisi's eyes immediately lit up, "Listen to what you mean, that little girl is Meng Shuwei's second?"
I nodded, "It shouldn't be wrong, Zhao Dekai is not honest, I saw it early on, he even had to secretly swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva when he saw me, and when he saw Meng Shuwei, his eyes were like growing on the two lumps of meat in front of her, such a man now has a little power in his hands, and it's strange if he doesn't steal." ”
Li Sisi laughed when he heard this, "That's good, anyway, your sister-in-law is not a good person, this is retribution, look at how arrogant she will be in the future." ”
It seems that what I said to Zhou Lijuan that time is now a prophecy, but I really didn't curse her at that time, but the conclusion I came to after reasoning.
Zhou Mingchuan told me a long time ago that most of the ordinary workers in the factory have a low level of education and less knowledge, so it is difficult to ensure that some of the three views are not so correct.
And although the girl just now seemed to be dressed quite fashionably, she could see at a glance that there was no ink in her belly, and she didn't look like a prince when she wore a dragon robe, she was talking about someone like her.
"Lulu. "Li Sisi walked and suddenly grabbed me.
"What's wrong?" I looked at her quizzically.
"You should have Zhou Lijuan's contact information, right?" she looked at me mysteriously.
"Yes, she used to sneer at me on WeChat at every turn. I was even more confused, "You don't want me to contact her now and let her catch the rape, do you?"
If that's the case, then she also thinks that it's too great, my own husband's cheating hasn't been solved yet, how can I have the heart to help others catch rape?
"That's good, you wait for me here, and I'll come back. "Liss let me go, and I ran back.
I knew that she must have something to do with Zhao Dekai doing this, but I couldn't deduce what she was going to do, for fear that she would do something that couldn't end, so I hurriedly followed.
She was running very fast, and when I caught up, she was standing outside the clothing store, taking pictures with her phone, and taking several photos.
There are two people inside, the man is immersed in the beauty of the woman and wants to get into it, and the woman is immersed in the shopping carnival and thinks about it, but no one notices that she has been secretly photographed.
Li Sisi was about to leave after taking the photo, and she didn't even notice that I was standing next to her, and as soon as she turned around, she bumped into me, and she immediately screamed.
If I made a sound at this time, Zhao Dekai would look out even if he was a dead man, then I wouldn't be discovered, so I hurriedly grabbed her hand and ran.
"You are dying, standing beside me silently, almost scared me to death, anyway, I am also a thief, okay?" came out of Zhao Dekai's line of sight, Li Sisi screamed.
"I'm about to be killed by you, aren't you afraid that Zhao Dekai will find me so loudly?" I dragged her into a milk tea bar and found a place to sit down.
"Okay, okay, can't you count me wrong? You don't know that I've always had a loud voice. After Li Sisi finished speaking, he looked down at his phone, "I'm going to pick a few of the best ones and send them to Zhou Lijuan, you can quickly give her to me on WeChat." ”
"What? You're going to send her pictures now? Are you crazy?" I looked at Liss in surprise.
Li Sisi said vigorously, "If I didn't send it, is it still you? In this way, not everyone knows that you are the one who does good deeds? With Zhou Lijuan's relationship with you, I think most of her will treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
I thought about it, but it shouldn't matter if you add a WeChat, delete it if it's a big deal, and Li Sisi shouldn't have anything wrong, so she gave Zhou Lijuan's WeChat to her as she wished.
"It's done for the time being, just wait for her to request through my friend!" Li Sisi put down the phone, grabbed the milk tea and took a sip hard, "It's delicious, it's so cool!"
Zhou Lijuan may be at work, maybe she is busy with something else, she didn't look at her phone, we waited for a while and didn't pass the verification, and Li Sisi quickly wilted.
"Forget it, don't wait, I can't love it. She pushed the half-drunk milk tea forward, "Let's go, let's hurry up and buy clothes, or it'll be dark." ”
