Chapter 33 Please give me some time

Qi Shunmin's heart sank, and he tried to maintain a calm tone: "What valuables did you lose?" ”

Chen Xuewu didn't answer first, but said, "Baby, let's go to the living room to talk." ”

Although Qi Shunmin heard him call himself 'baby', his face was still solemn, lacking his usual sense of intimacy, and he couldn't help but feel worried. A hint of foreboding finally crossed her mind.

Chen Xuewu didn't dare to take a step when he saw that he didn't dare to take a step, so he grabbed one of her small hands, led her to the living room, and gently pressed her delicate body to sit on the sofa.

Qi Shunmin's mind calmed down for a while, and he hurriedly said: "Learn martial arts, tell me the truth quickly." Whatever the outcome, I will accompany you to face it. ”

Chen Xuewu showed a grateful look: "Thank you, baby." ”

Qi Shunmin nodded, didn't say anything, but stared at her husband intently with a pair of big expectant eyes.

Chen Xuewu sat beside Qi Shunmin and said slowly in a calm tone as much as possible: "I went to the hospital this morning in the process of delivering the courier. As a result, all the packages in the carriage were missing, including a laptop worth more than 10,000 yuan. ”

Qi Shunmin blinked his confused eyes: "What were you doing in the hospital at that time?" ”

Chen Xuewu hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't say anything about Juanzi, but lied: "I didn't know what was wrong at the time, I suddenly felt very stuffy in my chest, and I was worried that something was wrong with my body, so I rode a tricycle to the hospital for examination." ”

Qi Shunmin said nervously again: "Is there something wrong with your body?" ”

Chen Xuewu hurriedly hugged her shoulder: "Don't be nervous, baby. Nothing was wrong with my body. But all the packages in the carriage were lost. ”

Qi Shunmin pondered for a moment before asking, "Apart from that computer, is there anything else valuable in it?" ”

Chen Xuewu shook his head: "No." But including the computer, the value of the lost items was about 20,000 yuan. The leader of the express company called me - in addition to the compensation according to the original price of the lost items, I also had to pay an additional fine. And, I lost my job. ”

Qi Shunmin was puzzled: "Why does the courier company want this?" You didn't mean to lose them. If you suffer compensation and fines, it is enough. Why do they do things so desperately? ”

Chen Xuewu smiled bitterly: "Because the customer complained that I forcibly searched his home." The leader fired me on the spot because I ruined the company's reputation. I must now pay the company the amount of compensation and the penalty within three days. ”

Qi Shunmin frowned, and couldn't help blurting out complaining: "You are such a big person, how can you do such a ridiculous thing?" If you're not feeling well, why do you ride to the hospital on your own bike to store your packages? Why didn't you notify me in the first place? ”

Chen Xuewu had a bitter word in his heart, so he had to explain: "I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't inform you. ”

Qi Shunmin angrily shook off Chen Xuewu's hand on his shoulder at this time, and continued to complain: "If you lose something, you should call the police immediately." Why search other people's customers' homes? ”

Chen Xuewu pondered for a moment before he said: "I suspected that the customer who bought computers online was very suspicious. I would have delivered the computer to his doorstep. But he shirked that he had something to do and didn't accept it in time. So, when I found out that I had lost my computer, he was suspicious. I was thinking that he was the one who knew that I had a valuable computer in my car. It is entirely possible that he stole the computer he bought online. In this way, he can save more than 10,000 yuan. ”

Qi Shunmin snorted: "Then you should forcibly search his home?" ”

Chen Xuewu explained: "I didn't force the search, I just warned him that if I didn't go to his house to have a look, then I would call the police." As a result, he was a little weak-hearted and took me to his house. ”

Qi Shunmin groaned for a moment and couldn't help nodding: "That customer is a little suspicious." ”

As soon as Chen Xuewu saw that his wife recognized his judgment, he took the opportunity to say: "So, I want to check the details of his family." ”

Qi Shunmin thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but complain again: "You, you're really confused." If the customer stole something, can I still keep the computer at home? You're so presumptuous. ”

Chen Xuewu continued: "I didn't think he would hide his computer at home. Just wanted to see what he was doing. As a result, I found out that there was no shortage of computers at his house. So, I'm sure this online shopping started out as a trap. ”

Qi Shunmin's eyes lit up: "Then you call the police." The police will definitely find out the mystery. If it was really the customer's fault, then his complaint would be invalid. ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuewu hesitated, and then shook his head gloomily: "No." I've called the police, but they have very valid excuses. Because of this excuse, we have no choice. ”

Qi Shunmin's cheeks, which had risen hopefully, were eclipsed again: "In this way, it is logical for people to buy computers online?" ”

Chen Xuewu knew that his wife might misunderstand him, and he also wanted not to disappoint her. But the so-called excuse is because Juanzi is involved in this matter. How could he tell his wife?

He hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision - even if he disappointed his beloved wife in him, he couldn't hurt Juanzi.

When he had made up his mind, he nodded resolutely: "Yes, people have a point." ”

Qi Shunmin suddenly seemed to have fallen into the ice kiln, and it was cold from the top of his head to his toes.

Qi Shunmin pondered for another quarter of an hour before asking, "Then do you plan to compensate for this qiē?" ”

Chen Xuewu nodded, and said, "I don't need you to pay for it, because I still have some savings, which can fully cope with this loss." ”

Qi Shunmin smiled bitterly: "Fool, what do you mean that you don't need me to pay for it?" You are all mine now, isn't your money my money? ”

Chen Xuewu's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but hold his wife in his arms.

Qi Shunmin leaned on her husband's arms at this time, and did not feel the warmth of the past, because the burden in her heart increased sharply.

"Husband, what's your next step?" She thought for a moment, and finally asked tentatively.

Chen Xuewu hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Baby, I want to discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter, can you just say it?"

"I want you to give me some time."

Qi Shunmin glared at her husband in surprise: "What are you going to do?" ”

Chen Xuewu finally said his plan: "Since I lost the job of express delivery, let's give up the idea of going out to work for the time being." I want to be an otaku for a while and concentrate on the script I'm currently working on. Its creation has reached a critical stage. It could be the one that changed my fate. So, I'm going to finish it at home. ”

Qi Shunmin's face was entangled for a while before he asked again, "Then how long will it take you?" ”

Chen Xuewu thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Say more than one year, less than half a year." Even if I don't make money during this time, I guess you can feed my mouth, right? ”

"Of course, there is no problem. But can you guarantee that the script will succeed? ”

Chen Xuewu swore solemnly: "If I devote myself to creation, it is very possible to create a high-quality product." However, I had to work part-time to write the script, and the progress was slow and the quality was not guaranteed. Therefore, if I lose this courier job, it may be 'Seon lost my horse'. ”

Qi Shunmin didn't have any reason to refuse her husband's request at this time, so she nodded: "Okay, I'll give you time." ”

"Thank you, baby." Chen Xuewu hugged her tightly again and kissed her on the cheek.

Qi Shunmin didn't have any happy looks, but there was a faint worry in his big eyes.

That night, when Chen Xuewu wanted to help her take off her underwear, Qi Shunmin hurriedly used his hand: "My body is not well yet." ”

Chen Xuewu was stunned and had no choice but to give up.

Qi Shunmin not only refused her husband's show of love for her tonight, but also did not let him sleep with him, but lay down with his back to him. This is something they have never done for more than half a year after they got married.

In the past, even if Qi Shunmin's body was 'uncomfortable', he could let her husband cuddle her to sleep.

In fact, since she took off the ring, she has found an excuse to push her husband several times.

She felt that her husband had doubted her feelings for him, and she wanted to tell him about the ring removal soon, and let him be moved. However, what happened today was like a basin of cold water, quickly extinguishing the enthusiasm in her heart.

Sister-in-law Liu Yongmei's words of admonition lingered in her ears again - he is a literati, and now he is helpless to do courier work. But how long can he keep going? I fear that he is now willing to do this job, which is nothing more than a stopgap measure. The real purpose is to win your heart. If you are pregnant with his child, it is equivalent to making the relationship between the two of you completely stable. Will he still be willing to get up early and work hard at night? I'm afraid that by then, you'll have to raise not only the child, but also the child.

Qi Shunmin couldn't help but feel creepy when he thought of this. Does my husband really expect to make a living by writing scripts? However, if the script he wrote could not be hired, even if he wrote millions of words, it would be in vain. If he can't make a small living in a low-key way, he will really have to support himself. If it's just him, what about the children of the future? When she thought about this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. The desperate thought stinged like a bee in her soft heart, and she felt her heart swell with pain.

She never doubted her husband's love for her. However, will the kind of love that has no material foundation to guarantee her make her happy for life? ?

Chen Xuewu was also very painful in his heart at this time, because he had already felt his beloved wife's disappointment in him. Her attitude towards herself is about him as much as a qiē. However, in order to awaken Juanzi's conscience, and for the sake of his beloved wife, he should not be too sad for his daughter. He had no choice but to carry all his grievances.

He couldn't help but think in his heart, no matter how far he went, he could come to the end; No matter how deep the pain is, there will be an end to the day. Carrying the hope of tomorrow, in every painful and happy day, we can walk stronger; With the dream of the future, in every ordinary and ordinary day, you will smile more brightly. As long as you don't give up, nothing can hold you back; As long as you are strong enough, nothing can break you.
