Chapter 68: A Call for Help
Liu Mei was walking on the road and was in a very bad mood. Seeing that it was already late, I was not in a hurry. It's a big deal to deduct the full attendance award, and there is not much money anyway. Although she comforted herself so much, Liu Mei's mood did not improve in the slightest. All she saw were Lingling's aggrieved eyes. Why bother? Wake up early all day long, be busy and be busy, and swallow your anger, isn't it just for the sake of the child? But what happens at the end of the day? Or let the child be wronged. She was really aggrieved in her heart.
She knows that her parents-in-law and even her husband feel that she can insist on living with her in-laws in the past few years, and she is still forbearant everywhere, hoping to inherit this big house from her in-laws in the future. Liu Mei admits that she did think about it at first. But later, as she spent more and more time with her in-laws, her thoughts had quietly changed. She doesn't want to live with her in-laws for the rest of her life, she wants to live her own little life. For this, she was willing to give up the big house. What could be more important than a family and a happy family? But the child is small, and the two of them are busy with work. The in-laws can help. In addition, this place is close to the child's kindergarten and her workplace, Liu Mei is greedy and lazy, and wants to wait for the child to be big before she bills up. But now, Liu Mei suddenly had doubts about her choice. Although I save myself some trouble now, is it really worth it for adults to be aggrieved and children to be angry?
But when she thought of really leaving her in-laws' house, Liu Mei felt a little bottomless. Accustomed to having someone at home to help you, once the single passes, both adults have to go to work, what if the child has something to do? Heshun and Liu Mei's units are relatively strict with commuting, and it is not easy to ask for leave. Today is a loss to Wen Jun and Sui Min, but what about the future? You can't go back to someone's house. If only my mom could come over and help. But now the old lady is watching the child for Liu Mei's younger brother, and the younger brother's child is still young, and she can't be separated at all. Liu Mei now finally deeply understands the true meaning of Zhang Yuan's sentence "her mother's family is powerful", if she had the backing of her mother's family like Wenjun, she would definitely not be affected by this nest of anger a long time ago. But what can be done, who can blame if your mother's family doesn't give you strength?
The more Liu Mei thought about it, the more confused her heart became, and her thoughts were clueless for a while. Seeing the unit, she had to put away her mind and deal with the leader's interrogation first. The reason for being late is a good idea, but criticism is inevitable. Alas, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. I was angry at home, but I was still angry at the unit, these days, I was really bored!
Liu Mei thought about it, and her mood was even worse. When her colleagues saw her with a black face, they thought that the leader was talking too much, and they all came to comfort her. Liu Mei is usually easy-going and popular. So everyone talked for her and made her happy. The youngest Liu Liu said to her: "Sister, gods and horses are all floating clouds. Any idea what that means? It's that the more you take it to heart, the more it suffocates your stomach. You just treat it like a fart and let it go. You don't hurt anymore, and it continues to go back to the sky as its puffy clouds. Everyone burst into laughter, and Liu Mei finally showed her face. Yes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. You don't have to think about it so much, if you really force her to be in a hurry, just move out! I don't believe that if you leave Zhang Butcher, you have to eat hairy pigs!
Liu Mei was cheering herself up, when she heard her mobile phone ringing. When I took out my phone from my bag, I saw that it was peace. She knew that peace must be about talking about Hewenjun, and it was inconvenient in front of so many people, so she took her mobile phone out of the office, and slipped into a secluded corner of the corridor one after another.
"Sister-in-law, Wen Jun didn't make trouble in the morning, right?" Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked.
"Nope. It was because of me that Wen Jun and the third brother quarreled. Liu Mei said a little guiltily.
But the focus of peace's concern was not here, and he asked, "Then she didn't mention looking for me?" ”
Liu Mei said: "I asked her. She said you turned off your phone and didn't answer her call. ”
"I ...... Alas, I'm not afraid of her trouble. The words of peace were full of helplessness.
When Liu Mei heard this, she said very guiltily: "Peace, it's all my fault for this matter, and I leaked my mouth with Wenjun, which caused the two of you to have an awkward quarrel." ”
Hearing what his sister-in-law said, Heping was embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't say that, you have to let her know about this sooner or later." I just got caught off guard. I haven't figured out what to do yet. ”
Liu Mei said to him: "No matter what, you can't fail to answer Wen Jun's call." I'm a woman, and I know that's the most infuriating. Even if it's a fight, it's better than this. ”
Peace sighed and didn't speak again. Liu Mei always felt that this incident was caused by herself, and she was a little unhappy, so she came up with an idea and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, let's see if Wenjun's parents can help persuade them, she should still be able to listen to the old man's words." ”
Peace listened, thanked him and hung up the phone. It's not that he hasn't thought about it on Wen Jun's parents' side, but it's obviously a problem with the younger couple, but it doesn't seem appropriate to pull the old couple in. However, at present, Wen Jun is not able to pass the test casually this time, and he has no other way to solve it, so he might as well try this method.
After thinking about it for a while, Heping called his father-in-law. It is said that in Wenjun's place, the mother-in-law's words are better than the old father-in-law. But the mother-in-law and Wenjun are like carved out of a mold, if they hear this, they may not help their son-in-law, but help their daughter, then the matter will get bigger and bigger. So he deliberately avoided his mother-in-law and asked his father-in-law to come out alone to talk.
The old man answered the call of peace, and he also felt a little strange, but he knew his wife's temper, and since the son-in-law said not to tell the old lady first, there should be his reasons. So he thought he'd go and see what was going on.
The two made an appointment to meet in a teahouse. Peace is in demand for people, naturally very attentive, picking up the old man's favorite refreshments and asking for six or seven kinds, and taking a pot of good tea. Wen Jun's father had no intention of eating and drinking, and only told Heping to say what was going on. After a long time of peace, he told the old man the cause and effect. At the end, he said to his father-in-law: "Dad, it's not that my parents are unreasonable and unwilling to pay this money, after all, there are big brothers and sisters-in-law, and it is not appropriate for them to be too partial." This time I did something wrong, and I shouldn't have borrowed money from my eldest brother privately. But I also want family harmony and less conflicts, don't I? ”
Wenjun's father nodded and shook his head, was silent for a while, and said to Heping: "Your parents have your parents' reason, and Wenjun has Wenjun's reason." You have your point. However, you did not do it properly to borrow money from Wen Jun. ”
Heping hurriedly said: "Dad, I was really dizzy at that time. The eldest brother is not an outsider, so I ......"
"Alright," interrupted the old man, "you don't have to blame yourself. I will find a way to discuss this matter with her mother and persuade Wenjun. But in the end, this is a matter between you husband and wife, and in the end, it is up to you to solve it. ”
Heping listened to the happy thanks, and toasted the old man with tea instead of wine.
