048. Don't underestimate money
I smiled and said, "Fun? ”
The third lady shook the tassel in her hand at the door of Shen Ting's study and said, "No, isn't there a good show singing inside?" Then she said: "Aren't you still watching this good show with relish?" ”
I smiled and said, "Third wife, you misunderstood, I just suddenly remembered that I had something to look for Uncle Shen, but when I arrived at the door, I noticed that something was wrong, so I stood there and waited." ”
The third lady snorted and said, "Do you think I'm going to go and complain to the master about you eavesdropping on this matter at the door?" ”
"I'm not eavesdropping," I stressed. The third wife misunderstood. ”
The third wife said: "If you don't eavesdrop, you don't eavesdrop, anyway, it's not a big secret, the eldest wife and the second wife think about their son's future, this is human nature." She looked out the door and said, "Others have sons to support them, like us, it is estimated that after a hundred years, it will be just the result of sweeping the floor." ”
There was a hint of sadness in her words, which surprised me a little, because this sadness did not match the character of the third wife, I thought it was my own hallucination, but who knows, there was a flash of water in the eyes of the third wife.
She was afraid I would see it. Without blinking an eye, he turned his wheelchair with his back to me before raising his hand to quietly wipe it off.
Seeing this scene, I impulsively asked, "Why don't you give birth to a child for your master?" ”
The third lady pushed the wheels of the wheelchair for a moment, and she said, "Do you think you will have a child if you want to have a child?" This, it depends on the will of God. ”
I didn't understand her. She left in a wheelchair.
After that, I had been thinking about the words of the third wife, so I asked a servant in charge of the hygiene of my room, and asked her if she knew why the third wife had no children after so many years in the Shen family.
The servant refused to say it at first, but in order to please me, she said again, it turned out that the third wife was pregnant with a child, which she was pregnant with when she was twenty years old, but because her body was still immature and some vitality was insufficient, after the child was two months later, she inexplicably slipped the fetus, and after the slippery fetus, she was infertile for a long time. No matter how much medicine you take, it's useless.
Now that I'm thirty**, it's not ideal to conceive a child again, so I haven't had a child.
In such a family, and it is a polygamous family, no children means no support, and without support, you will live a miserable life in your later years, because this family will always fall into the hands of Shen Ting's son.
And she, an outsider, can only be an outsider forever, and even has the risk of sweeping the floor.
To be honest, the third lady looks mean. She doesn't speak very well, but she's not bad, at least she doesn't make me scared, but the big lady, obviously she is smiling at me, but I feel that there is actually a sharp knife hidden behind that smile, and this sharp knife will stab you fiercely when you don't pay attention, and it is impossible to prevent it.
But what about me? Am I really going to follow in the footsteps of the third wife? Do I have a chance to regret it now? To live the life I want?
But do I still have a chance? Even if I leave here, will I be able to live? Can Liang Sheng adapt to a new life?
All kinds of doubts, to live your own life sounds beautiful, to practice is actually very difficult, when you get used to one life, and then go to live another life. Your body and mind, your internal organs, will not be very adaptable.
The next day was still very early, Sister Xu called to ask how she was doing, if Sister Xu didn't come to this call, I forgot about it, we hadn't seen each other for a long time, and suddenly I didn't know why I missed her a little.
asked her if she was free, and Sister Xu said, "I must not be available when I come out, or will you come to the club?" Let's talk. ”
I thought about it and said yes.
When I went out, I said hello to Shen Ting, didn't let the Shen family's car send me, I took a taxi to the club, when I got there, the Jiangnan club was still singing and dancing, in order to prevent acquaintances, or someone recognized me, I wore a pair of oversized sunglasses on my face, and a sunhat.
After arriving at Sister Xu's office, she saw me dressed in full armor, and even laughed out loud while holding her stomach, laughing at my dress.
I didn't bother to pay attention to her, and after taking off my hat and sunglasses, I sat opposite Sister Xu, she looked at me for a long time, flicked the cigarette ash on her fingertips, and kept smacking her tongue and said: "I went to a wealthy family to be Mrs. Kuo, and sure enough, even my temperament is different." She raised her hand and pouted my face and asked, "You don't use bird's nest to raise it, right?" ”
I laughed and slapped her hand away: "Don't make fun of me, get down to business." ”
Sister Xu smoked a cigarette and said, "What a serious matter." "On Hobuba.
I said, "How's it going?" ”
Sister Xu sneered and said, "What else can I do, the same old look, train the young lady, and greet the man." ”
I took a cigarette from the cigarette case on her desk and lit it for myself.
Sister Xu asked me, "What about you?" How is everything? ”
I said, "It's okay, it's good to eat and drink, you don't have to think about anything." ”
Sister Xu was full of envy and said, "You dead girl, you are born with a good fate." ”
I looked at the smoke that kept coming out of my fingers and asked, "Really?" ”
Of course, Sister Xu didn't answer me.
The two of us chatted about the recent situation, and chatted about some other things, originally Sister Xu was talking about the recent suicide of the young lady in the clubhouse, she suddenly thought of the key point of the situation I told her before, she widened her eyes and asked me: "So you haven't slept with Shen Ting yet?" ”
I took a puff of my cigarette and asked, "What's so surprising about this, it's not there yet." ”
Sister Xu said: "Liang Sheng, you won't still be because of Shen Boteng, so you don't want to ......."
I said, "No, prostitutes are indifferent to this kind of things, don't think so noly." ”
Sister Xu said: "Then why haven't you developed a relationship with Shen Ting yet?" ”
I didn't answer her immediately, but leaned back in a chair in a different position, took a puff of the cigarette in my hand, and said very seriously: "Sister Xu, let me ask you a question." ”
Sister Xu took a sip of water: "You say." ”
I said, "I ask you, if you have two choices now, the first option is to leave the city and go somewhere else to start your life again, and the second option is to stay in the Shen family and live a prosperous life, if it were you, which one would you choose." ”
Sister Xu was silent for a while, and she said, "If it were me, I would choose the latter." ”
I was a little surprised and asked her, "Why?" ”
Sister Xu said: "Because you can struggle for a lifetime, you must know that if you start again, you must rely on yourself in the future, you have to find a job, and now a slightly more advanced position requires the information of the company you used to work for, and from time to time to do a survey, if they find out that you are from the Jiangnan Club, can this society accept you?" Regardless of your husband and in-laws, you will not be accepted at all in this society. ”
I said, "But as a rich wife, my former identity is different or unacceptable?" ”
Sister Xu said: "No, it's different, you have to think like this, if you are a rich wife, although many people will mock you behind your back and look down on you, but when they face you, they have to stutter, laugh, and even respectfully, but once you return to an ordinary state, it means that you have nothing, you are an extremely ordinary person, which is equivalent to being beaten back to the original shape, and you have to climb up again in order to liveSo that you don't get tired? ”
Sister Xu nodded her hand on the table, and she said: "Liang Sheng, you must always remember that since you can't have a good love, it will be more reliable to let yourself have more money, you must not underestimate money, it can make you live like a person." ”
