When Jiang Yu got home from work, he immediately made himself some rice, and ate a big bowl full of mustard vegetables and meat floss.

She's so hungry today.

I didn't eat much for lunch and didn't eat dinner either.

Just wanted to call Ji Chuan to apologize, Du Shenyun's call arrived first.

She looked at the constantly flickering screen and hesitated a little.

Although she had known about Yu Lu's existence for a long time, she still felt uncomfortable seeing him send her home at night today.

Even if she didn't want to, she knew that it must be Song Wenzhu's meaning.

She suddenly had a not-so-good idea in her heart: Will Du Shenyun tell her about Yu Lu's existence?

She would never ask him anything.

"Sanyun. She answered.

"Jiang Yu, are you home safely?" Du Shenyun's voice was still gentle.

"Well, here it is. She said, "You've just gotten home, too?"

"Well, it's a bit late today. I'll come early tomorrow morning to bring you breakfast, and I'll go to work after that. Du Shenyun said.

"Okay. Then I'll wait for you. I'm a little tired today, go to bed first, good night. ”

“… Good night. ”

Jiang Yu put down his phone and nestled into the sofa.

She had deliberately mentioned tonight's dinner, but he didn't say anything.

I can't tell you what it's like in my heart.

There was a slight disappointment.

Maybe he didn't want her to be too careful, but she was never a vexatious person.

As long as he explains well, she is willing to understand.

was interrupted by Du Shenyun's phone call, and she completely forgot about the call she was going to make to Ji Chuan.

I took a shower, didn't take care of myself too much, and immediately fell asleep when I got into bed.

Once a person is tired, he is prone to dreaming.

She dreamed that she was walking on the way home, shivering in the grass, and her heart tightened, thinking that she had met a perverted stalker.

She tried to speed up her pace, but the sound in the grass suddenly stopped, and a cat sprang out.

The cat had gray fur and two beautiful, glass-beaded gray eyes.

It stopped in the middle of the road and looked at her curiously: "Meow~"

She had never seen such an elegant and beautiful cat.

When she dreamed of this, she didn't continue, and she woke up.

The mobile phone on the bedside table was vibrating, and she glanced at it, it was Du Shenyun who came.

Creeping out of the room, through the living room behind the screen, where Daddy's snoring was loud, the door opened softly.

"Put things on the table, be careful not to wake up uncle. And then... Come out, I have something to say. Du Shenyun said through the small door of the Jiang Apartment.

Jiang Yu just woke up, she was still a little unconscious, she obediently put breakfast away like a puppet, then closed the door, and followed Du Shenyun downstairs to sit in the car.

"Jiang Yu, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I still think that our relationship should be one step closer. Du Shenyun looked at her sideways.

"Huh?" she propped her elbow on the armrest to the side, propping her head up.

"Let's get married. ”

Jiang Yu came to his senses instantly.

She looked at him in disbelief.

"I know I'm saying it a little abruptly right now... I didn't have a ring ready... It's just that I really don't want to wait any longer. Du Shenyun pulled Jiang Yu's hand that was so nervous that he had nowhere to put it.

Is she being proposed?

Although she didn't want to have a pompous proposal scene like in idol dramas and romance novels, the current scene still makes her feel a little strange.

She digested the information and said something that didn't sound very decent: "I... It doesn't really matter. Does your mom agree?"

Du Shenyun's face changed a little in an instant, but he still continued: "My mother... I'm sure she'll agree, and she's told me a lot before. ”

Jiang Yu's sixth sense suddenly came into play, and she always felt that Du Shenyun's words hadn't finished yet: "And then?"

"Jiang Yu," he said, turning her shoulder, "quit your job." ”

"I quit my job, but I got a new job... Or?" she asked calmly.

"When you get married, you just have to concentrate on being a stay-at-home wife. Du Shenyun assured her, "In the future, I will raise you." ”

"I raise you", what a touching word.

I don't know how alluring these three words are in the eyes of other women, and they can lose their way for a long time.

But for Jiang Yu, those things that are too easy to get have already been clearly priced.

In this moment, perhaps for a brief period of time in the future, this sentence is sweet.

But in fact, for Du Shenyun, every word of this sentence is thousands of pressures.

For Jiang Yu, this is the sword of Damocles hanging on the throne.

In Syracuse, Sicily, Italy, in the 4th century BC, the courtier Damocles was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to exchange identities for a day with the tyrant of the time, Dionysius II. Naturally, he enjoyed the glory and superiority of being a leader. After the evening feast, he suddenly discovered a sharp sword hanging from only a horse's hair above the throne.

Damoclestone panicked, no longer interested in the beautiful food in front of him, and quickly begged Dionysius II to spare him, he never wanted such a fate again.

In that sentence, the "ease" of becoming a full-time wife is the sword hanging over her head.

Jiang Yu was sure that she didn't want to be Damocles.

She licked her dry lips, and instead of looking directly at him, her eyes flashed back and forth elsewhere: "I... Can I think about it for a while?"

"Good. It's me who is in too much of a hurry. You think slowly. Du Shenyun rubbed Jiang Yu's hand, which had a layer of calluses because he held the steering wheel all year round.

…

When Jiang Yu returned upstairs, Jianghu was still sleeping.

She glanced at the bags on the table, which were all the things she usually liked to eat.

But now she has no appetite and is distraught.

Sitting on the bed for a while, she pulled out a cloth bag from the bottom of the closet.

In the cloth bag, there is a passbook.

Jiang Yu opened the passbook and calculated carefully, except for the debts that failed in stock speculation in the rivers and lakes the year before last, and she advanced a lot of money, there was no more or no less.

This money is far from enough to be used as a dowry in a beautiful way, but it is okay to buy a little jewelry.

She believed that her father must have saved some for her, but ......

If all the money was used for a dowry, she would have no savings at all.

She didn't know which drama she saw such a passage from: "In this world, money is a woman's only right, take it as a comfort, treat it as a dream, one day, money, a considerable amount of money, can set you free." ”

So she worked hard to make money, and she saved as much as she could, just to seize that little bit of security and confidence in life.

He knew that Du Shenyun's proposal was not malicious, and he just wanted to be with her and make her life easier.

But for women, at least for Jiang Yu, they lose their ability to make money, even if they only earn a little bit, they lose their confidence and dignity.

When there is a conflict, her waist is not straight.

But if she doesn't make sacrifices in this regard, then she and Du Shenyun will have no possibility in the future.

"Tsk. ”

For the first time, she felt so lost.

…

She sat for hours until Jianghu knocked on her door with a fritter in her mouth.

"Jiang Yu, I can't afford it!"

She just woke up from a dream.

"Dad, come in. ”

Jianghu twisted the handle of the turnstile door, and saw Jiang Yu sitting there in pajamas with his hair messy.

"The breakfast on the table was delivered by Du Shenyun, I see why you haven't moved at all." ”

"Samyun proposed to me. Her tone was as calm as if she were talking about what she was going to eat today.

"What?!" Jianghu looked sluggish with a fried dough stick in his mouth.

"He proposed to me. She turned her head, looked at her father, and repeated, "He said he wanted to marry me." ”

The fritters in his mouth fell to the ground because of the surprised facial expression, Jianghu was quick, picked it up and shook it again, and walked around the bed to Jiang Yu: "Teacher Du proposes to you?!"

He looked at Jiang Yu from head to toe: "Look at what you look like now!"

Jiang Yu glanced down at the gray pajamas on his body, and felt his hair scattered in a mess: "Didn't I just get up and have time to clean up." ”

"Did you say yes?" he asked.

“… Not yet. She replied.

Jianghu sighed "sigh" and sat down beside Jiang Yu.

"Then are you going to say yes?" his tone now did not look like a father at all, but a good girlfriend who loved to listen to gossip.

Jiang Yu leaned over: "What do you think?"

Jianghu dodged vigorously: "It's you who marry, not me." ”

Jiang Yu pouted.

"Anyway, no matter what you decide, I support you. With that, he patted her on the shoulder like a good brother.

"Dad, this is not a trivial matter, can you be serious!" Her tone finally had the meaning of a daughter coquettishly telling her father.

"Okay, okay! Well... I think you have to think more about yourself, I don't care about anything else, the most important thing is that you are happy. Jianghu said.

"He has one more condition. She said.

"What conditions?" asked Jianghu curiously.

"He wants me to resign and later... Be a stay-at-home wife. Jiang Yu took a deep breath.

The rivers and lakes were really silent for a while.

"Stay-at-home wife...... That's a good thing. You don't have to work in the wind and rain every day. After a few minutes of thinking, he came to this conclusion, but the tone was not lighthearted.

"Really?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jianghu with an unconfident expression.

“…… Fake. Jianghu subconsciously wanted to touch the cigarette in his pocket, but then thought that he hadn't smoked for a long time, "This situation, there are good and bad." His mom was to you... Right, if you still lose your job and live full-time, maybe people will look down on you. ”

Jiang Yu suddenly thought: "People of your age didn't say anything like 'marrying and obeying their husbands'. ”

"Why, I'm not that kind of feudal old man. As for me, I can still keep up with the times. The rivers and lakes blew their beards and stared.

"Oh. Jiang Yu said, "I still didn't give any substantive opinions." ”

"Oh, dad still says the same thing, no matter what you decide, I support you. If you marry, I will marry you even if I smash the pot and sell iron. If you don't get married, huh. ”

"Hmph, what, huh?" Jiang Yu suddenly felt that his father's appearance was a little cute.

"My daughter of the rivers and lakes, is there only one Du Shenyun in the world who can look at it? There are many men, and I will look for it again after blowing!" he said hatefully.

"Okay, I've decided. ”
