Chapter 36: Open-mindedness
I wasn't born open-minded, but because I understood that people who were better than me didn't have the skills to take care of me.
Therefore, don't care about what others give you!
Zhou Jin acted as if nothing had happened, and when he went to work, he threw himself into his work, and when he came home from work, he boiled Chinese medicine for Han Hongmei.
Han Hongmei didn't take this illness seriously, although Zhou Jin was like a great enemy. Han Hongmei insisted on quitting her job as a nurse and still played cards and drank tea with her neighbors.
When playing cards, an eldest lady asked Han Hongmei: "Is there a patient named Wei Mingxia living in your Zhou Yao's department?"
"I don't know, this name doesn't sound like a child's name, but like a parent's name," Han replied.
A grandmother thought so, and said while touching the cards: "Well, that's right, today's young people give their children names, either foreign, or Han, Rui, Zi, Xuan."
The eldest mother said: "You are right, it is the parent of a child, I heard that her child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and it seems that he was hospitalized in the department where Zhou Yao works."
"Alas, what a pitiful child is".
"It's just a pity that a good child got such a disease."
Everyone sighed for a while, and Han Hongmei asked, "Why did you suddenly mention her, do you know that Wei Mingxia?"
The eldest mother replied: "I don't know, my sister said that she and my nephew are classmates and borrowed money from him." Because my nephew sold the house in this neighborhood and changed it to a big house elsewhere, it takes a lot of money, and I want to ask her for money, but I can't speak."
"Oh", Han Hongmei nodded.
At dinner, Han Hongmei told Zhou Jin about Wei Mingxia, and Zhou Jin knew why she saw Wei Mingxia at the gate of the community that day.
It turned out that she had come to borrow money to buy clothes for her mother as a birthday present.
Although Zhou Jin was wronged for this matter, thinking of Wei Mingxia's filial piety, she gave up the opportunity to clarify herself.
If the boring people know about it, then they will have to talk. Just let them discuss themselves, and there is no need to let Wei Mingxia become their topic of conversation anymore.
However, the rumors ended quickly, not because others were tired of talking about it, but because Wei Mingxia, when the debt collector chased him to the ward, those words that hurt Zhou Yao stopped abruptly.
Faced with the debt collection of her classmate's daughter-in-law, Wei Mingxia was powerless, she only felt that there was chaos in front of her. She has no money to pay back, and she can't cope with the complaints of her mother-in-law and husband.
Zhang Weiguo's mother realized that she was wrong to blame Zhou Jin, and she shouldn't have quarreled with Zhou Jin because of impatience and impulsiveness. However, the thoughts of regret are fleeting and are immediately replaced by distressed money.
"You don't make money, you eat, drink and wear, we just raise you for nothing, you still lend money to your mother to buy clothes", Zhang Weiguo's mother began to count Wei Mingxia.
Zhang Weiguo's mother said angrily: "You can find your own way to borrow the money yourself, we don't have the money to pay you back, don't ask my son for money."
"I didn't say that I would let you pay it back, I will find a way to repay the money myself", Wei Mingxia hugged her arms and said negatively.
Zhang Weiguo's mother snorted and asked, "Do you pay back the money yourself?"
"Then you don't have to worry about it", Wei Mingxia finished speaking, and turned to leave.
Zhang Weiguo hurriedly pulled her and asked her, "Why are you going?"
"Don't worry about it", Wei Mingxia shook off Zhang Weiguo and left the ward directly. Zhang Weiguo hurriedly chased out, and his mother also chased her out of the ward, instructing her son: "Weiwei, don't pay her back, do you hear?"
Zhang Weiguo didn't answer, took three steps and made two steps, caught up with Wei Mingxia, grabbed her, and then asked, "Where are you going?"
Wei Mingxia didn't look at Zhang Weiguo, looked at him and said, "Where do you care where I go?"
"You... How are you going to pay it back?"
Zhang Weiguo asked her, and Wei Mingxia replied angrily: "You can't care about it."
Although Wei Mingxia ignored Zhang Weiguo, in fact, deep down, she gave Zhang Weiguo a chance, and also gave her marriage a chance.
She deeply hopes that Zhang Weiguo can say very arrogantly: "Don't be afraid, daughter-in-law, I will pay you back"!
However, the man she fell in love with didn't dare to say such a thing, but instead accused her: "Xiaoxia, it's not me talking about you, you don't go to work, Qiqi is still hospitalized and spends money, why don't you count at all, and lend money to your mother to buy clothes."
Wei Mingxia glared at Zhang Weiguo angrily, she now knew that a full-time wife was a dangerous term. The man said nicely, what do you take care of your family, take care of the children, I earn money to support you two.
In fact, when you need money, he is stingy, what you don't earn, what I support you. Even, even your mother-in-law will bully you for being a person who eats and drinks for nothing.
What kind of husband and child, what ordinary days, have been subverted by the lack of money, and have become the touchstone of marriage.
Wei Mingxia glanced at Zhang Weiguo in disappointment, said nothing, and turned to leave. Zhang Weiguo couldn't stop him if he wanted to, so he had to let his wife drift away.
Zhang Weiguo returned to the ward, and his mother said: "Don't be afraid, son, if she divorces you, my mother will marry you a good daughter-in-law!"
