Chapter 722: The Past
"Are you my mother?" Zhong Hanni almost jumped up in anger, she will get married in half a month, and all the marriage matters are being prepared in an orderly manner, now give me this play, it will really kill people.
"Auntie, please don't worry, I will work hard, we will be happy. As long as Hanny doesn't say anything particularly hurtful about a breakup or divorce at any time, I will try to tolerate her as much as possible. Lu Haoyi said sincerely, "I promise you, please believe me." ”
"Me too!" Hanni Zhong raised her hand and said, "We will live a very happy life, you don't have to worry." ”
Xia Chunxi looked at her innocent daughter, this stupid daughter, getting married is like a second reincarnation, whatever you want, you can do it.
After dinner, Lu Haoyi sent them home before driving away.
&*&
The mother and daughter entered the house and said what is the difference between getting married? Speaking of whose hand Hanni Zhong took into the auditorium.
"Your uncle, of course." Xia Chunxi said as a matter of course.
"What about my dad?" Hanni Zhong looked at her in surprise and asked.
"I didn't plan to invite him!" Xia Chunxi said directly.
"Why do you want me to do a wedding ceremony without a father?" Zhong Hanniteng got up from the sofa and said.
"Let's stop arguing." Xia Chunxi raised his head and looked at her expressionlessly and said, "You sit down, let's talk about it." ”
Hanni Zhong sat down unwillingly, "I want to do that too." ”
"I know you want to find your dad." Xia Chunxi turned his face away and decided not to look at the sadness on Hanni's face. "I also know that you want to take your father's hand and get married." ”
"But?" Hanni Zhong said. Here's the point.
"I don't want to see your father." Xia Chunxi said coldly, with extreme indifference in his voice, "It's best not to see him again in this life." ”
"There's no need to do that! You didn't divorce because of a quarrel, and it wasn't because Dad had other women outside and hurt you or something? Hanni Zhong looked at her puzzled, and then said, "Even if you are hurt, it is your father." It's actually ...... that hurt Dad's pride."
"Hanny?" Xia Chunxi interrupted her and said, "I can't even be responsible for your father's self-esteem!" She looked up at Hanny and said, "It's not like I haven't tried. It's not that I haven't talked to him. If you want me to give up my career, I will rely on your father for the rest of my life. That's impossible! ”
"Isn't your dad very tall? Then why did he resign from the public service of the Industrial and Commercial Office and go into business. Xia Chunxi smiled bitterly and said, "Why is he for business." Coming home late without being suspected by the new wife? ”
"Does Hanny know why Mom and Dad divorced?" Xia Chunxi said with a wry smile. "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Besides, when we were in the Cold War, we all sent you back to your grandmother's house. You're older now, and there's something I need you to know. ”
Xia Chunxi slowly said about the past: "I was born in a middle-class family, I have lived a worry-free life since I was a child, I am also beautiful, my studies are good, and the journey is smooth."
Middle 5 period. At that time, there were many people chasing your mother, but in the end I married your father. Your dad is two years older than me. He was handsome and upright, and his studies were good, but his family conditions were poor, and after graduating from Secondary 5, he entered the Industrial and Commercial Department and became an ordinary customs broker.
After I got married, I became a full-time housewife, revolving around your dad wholeheartedly. If you want to marry your father, his salary is stable, I have a dowry, and my life should be sweet and happy, but who makes your father bear a heavy burden, the whole family provides him with education, all hopes are pinned on him, and more than half of the monthly salary is given to his in-laws.
At that time, I had tried my best to live a careful life, and I really responded to that sentence, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. My father-in-law and mother-in-law fell ill twice, emptied of my family, and I have never had a hard life, and I realized that throttling is not the way after all, and open source is the right reason.
So I wanted to go out to work and support the family, but your father was machismo and didn't allow women to show their heads. However, the cruelty of real life eventually made him acquiesce to me to go out to work.
It's not easy to go out to work, although you graduated from Form 5, you can be regarded as having a degree! You can be disconnected from society, and you don't want to be tied to a 9-to-5 job and can't take care of you and your family just after birth.
I finally chose to open a small shop on my own, and with the only remaining 3,000 yuan from my dowry, I bought 50 taels of gold, rented a house and bought some tools to make money, and then opened a small gold shop. I officially started my "golden journey". ”
Xia Chunxi took a deep breath, paused and continued, "After 5 years of diligent and thrifty life, as well as continuous innovation in product design, the business has become more and more prosperous. ”
He added, "I didn't care about you during this period, so your grandmother often came to take care of you, do you remember!" ”
"I remember!" Hanni Zhong nodded.
Xia Chunxi continued, "Since the standard of living has declined, the in-laws are like us flies, and they don't want to get involved. After the sister-in-law and uncles have a chance, they are even more reluctant to come to the door. I completely forgot that I came to the door in the first place.
However, as the business started little by little, my schedule was not as regular as it used to be, and in order to gain a firm foothold in the business field, I had to show up and go out to sell the beautiful gold jewelry, and inevitably participate in all kinds of entertainment.
During that time, I was very excited, the gold jewelry I designed was appreciated, and I felt that I would be able to make a fortune immediately, to be honest, I was a little fluttering during that time, and sometimes I came back drunk and proudly told your father, in the future, you will sit in the office and wait for the promotion, I will make money, and it is easier for women to do business than men......
I vividly remember your father's contemptuous eyes, 'Just like you fool, if even you think that there is gold everywhere, gold will become ****.'" ’
After about three months of work, I was so excited as soon as I walked in the door that I mysteriously handed him a newspaper packet, and then I lay down on the bed and said, 'Look at it, we're going to get rich.' ’
At that time, 10,000 yuan was a lot, and I got so much back at one time, and your father was really surprised. This is the gold jewelry I designed and was loved by big customers, and I ordered a lot of them at one time, and that was a deposit.
In the fifties, a newspaper sold for a dime, and the average public servant earned $110 a month. More than 10,000 yuan, that's really astronomical.
Of course, there is money, which is directly reflected in family life, and the standard of living has skyrocketed. Of course, I am making more and more money, and the excitement of getting the first money is gone, I take the money, give it to him, and trouble him to save it tomorrow, it feels very normal, and there is no meaning to look down on your father.
However, your dad felt that his pride had been hurt, and the neighborhood began to gossip about all sorts of things. You say that others are jealous or lack of morality, anyway, those words are particularly unpleasant, which means that Xia Chunxi dares to do anything in order to make money. People shouldn't say it in front of us husband and wife, but there are many good people in this world, and this word will soon reach your father's ears.
Of course, I feel uncomfortable listening to this. After listening to it too much, your dad began to slowly wonder, could it be that I really used some improper means? Your dad became suspicious and began to pay special attention to my words and actions.
Of course I noticed, but to be honest, I really didn't do anything to be sorry for you and your dad, and it was inevitable to drink for socials, but no one took advantage of me.
Of course, I admit that I am also wrong, because I can make money, I have changed a lot, what is wealthy, my waist is straight, and my tone of voice is not like the previous submissive little daughter-in-law.
And your dad is becoming more and more suspicious, staring at me all day, I am angry outside, smiling at customers like a grandson, and looking at your dad's face like a man when I come back.
In the end, the two still quarreled, one day I went out to socialize, it was a big order, I drank too much for this order, I didn't go home, and I forgot to call home, I was sent to the hotel by your Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing.
Uncle Qing, Aunt Qing, you know, the first to do it with your mother, your Uncle Qing has been on the battlefield, and he has some kung fu in his hands, so he cleaned up those who dared to beat his mother's ill intentions.
Well, I won't tell you much about these things.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw that it was a hotel, and I was afraid that your father's caution would be committed, so I quickly called your father's office and said, 'I'm sorry, I drank too much last night, and Uncle Qing also drank too much, so I didn't dare to drive, so I didn't come back.' ’
Your dad was very upset and lectured me, 'A woman shouldn't drink like that, it's not like that.' I was giggling and saying that I would stop drinking and come home in the evening with good things. What is the good thing? It's money! When you see money, you don't have any temper.
However, the fact that I was sent to the hotel by your Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing was seen by the good deeds and told your father, saying that I went to the hotel with your Uncle Qing to open a room.
Since then, the Cold War has begun, and no matter how I explain it, your father will not listen.
At the beginning, I was afraid that your father would be cranky, so I took Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing with me when I went out to socialize, so that there would be no gossip.
Even if your Aunt Qing comes out to testify, your father doesn't believe it.
That's when I learned that when a person doubts you, any explanation is a cover-up.
I clearly remember what your father said at the time: Why they testify for you is because they are begging for a living under your Xia Chunxi, you just said that the earth is square, and they will also say that the earth is square.
So any explanation is futile.
This kind of cold war has not been the way to go, I decided to break the situation and talk about it well, so I went home early, handed you over to your grandmother, made a table of dishes, compensated him, and ignored him for the sake of business.
However, when your father saw the results of my hard work for half an afternoon, he raised his hand and overturned the table, and the broken plates and meals were in a mess.
My heart was shattered like a broken plate. (To be continued.) )
