Chapter Twenty-Three: Happiness Alone and No One
After wandering for more than a month, I finally found a job as a human resources clerk in a toy factory. On the day I was announced, I excitedly called Ziqing, but I was always on the phone.
So I wandered around all afternoon, gritting my teeth and buying myself a small bottle of Estée Lauder's eye cream as a reward.
I rarely buy cosmetics, but recently I looked in the mirror and found that there were a lot more crow's feet at the corners of my eyes, and this change was irreversible.
I got home at around 5 p.m. and said hello to his mother. She asked, looking up and seeing me carrying something
"What did you buy?" I thought to myself, his mother must be upset when she found out. I forced a smile
"Auntie, eye cream, anti-wrinkle. ”
"How much?" I thought to myself, if I said more than 400, I would definitely have to jump my feet, so I held back
"100." His mother's eyes widened
"What do you want for 100 yuan?" he said, pulling the bag in my hand and opening it to look at it. After a long time, he handed it to me and said with a cold face
"Xiaowei, the girl's family can't be extravagant, it's not easy for Ziqing to make money, you still have loans, and he is under so much pressure. Again, the chatter began.
I feel very uncomfortable, no matter how bad it is, I still have saved thousands of dollars, and now I have been spending my own money, I gritted my teeth and said
"Auntie, I got a job. His mother was stunned, didn't speak, turned around and went back to the house, and didn't cook.
I wouldn't try to coax her, seeing that she was unhappy, so I had to cook and simply fry two dishes by myself. Ziqing came back early that night, looking at the dishes on the table and joking
"My wife is showing off her skills today?" because my dishes are obviously different from her mother's. His mother likes to make stews, vermicelli cabbage and whatever, and I like to make stir-fries.
His mother snorted coldly
"You have a capable wife. Ziqing rubbed his mother's shoulder and said with a hippie smile
"Then you are still not happy, your wife is good, and your mother is better. "That's just a smile. My heart was suddenly very blocked, I really wanted to throw the bowl and stop eating, and then I thought about why bother, it was not worth hurting my feelings for a few verbal exchanges.
After eating, when I went back to the house, Ziqing asked me what the hell was wrong. I didn't have the heart to say it
"Why don't you ask your mother?" his face sank,
"I'm very tired from the previous day's work, and my mother is easily irritable when she gets older, so you just have to bear with it. "I exploded
"You all hate me for not making money, do you? I've got a job. Ziqing was silent, and the expression on his face became very solemn.
I know that he is worried that I will get into undue trouble at work, and his heart is even more blocked, other people's families are happy to find a job, and how come to me seems to be a difficult thing.
I simply ignored him and went to bed. After a while, he lay down next to me, stroked me, and asked softly
"Shall we get married and have a child?" I sneered
"And then, am I just going to be a full-time wife at home?" I was embarrassed to say that if I really kept being a full-time wife, I would have to be depressed, and I said that only Ziqing alone made money, and he had to save flowers and so on.
He sighed and put his arms around me to sleep. I don't know why, I suddenly felt very wronged. It turns out that my happiness is just my own happiness, and no one wants to share it with me.
What's even more sad is that even though the two of them are sleeping in each other's arms, I feel that I am more lonely and desolate than fireworks.
