Chapter 237

Xie Wumei smiled faintly and said, "I know what you think, you are afraid that you will be seen by friends and colleagues while riding a bicycle with a strange woman, and you can't tell you when you look back." Besides, it's not worth the risk of me being like this.
I've heard that your current mother-in-law is not bad-looking, and she is also relatively strong, are you afraid of causing trouble for yourself, right? Hey, men are sometimes just timid, no way! β
Although Xie Wumei was unhappy, she didn't say anything, and the two of them just walked forward. Only then did Zhu Yushen find that Xie Wumei's walking posture was ugly, and she was fatter than before, so it must be difficult to walk a long way. He felt a little sorry, but didn't say it.
In a few moments, the two of them walked out of this relatively dilapidated alley and came to a spacious, neat street. At this time, both of them were in a better mood. Xie Wumei leaned closer to Zhu Yushen, who was pushing the bicycle, and said, "Zhu Yushen, after the relationship between the two of us is over, we have quickly found a home for each other, right?"
I heard a lot about your situation from Hu Yuqin; And you don't know about my situation, right? Alas, there is no need for you to inquire about me after that. First, because I myself and my family have hurt you, it's good that you don't hate me, do you still care about my business?
Second, what I do next is really simple. Later, my parents lowered the standard for me to find a partner. Because my family and I are like that, it's unrealistic to ask of others how highly. Since there are indeed many older young men in the countryside who are too old to marry wives, it is casual and this thing is done.
My man is ordinary. The condition of their home is also very average. He was five years older than me. I've been out to work for a long time. I learned to cook and other trades. In the past, I was at home with my children, and he was working alone. When the child was a little older, the two of us left the child to his parents, and the two of us went out to open a small restaurant together. We've been in a couple of places, but we just don't make a lot of money. Nowadays, it's hard to do anything, and the competition is fierce. If any of them can get money, it won't take a few days. Everybody's here to do this.
Heck, now that I think about it, it was so naΓ―ve to think before. Like many girls, I have always liked to dream, always hoping that my life will be better than the average person in the future. Do you remember, when Hu Yuqin introduced me to you, my enthusiasm was very high. It was also my first encounter with young men, and I was very excited. That's why I come to your dormitory every now and then, chatting with you while you're busy eating, looking forward to the future. Planning for the future.
Although your conditions at that time were not very good, I was satisfied. Because I'm not a good resource in the first place. I think it's pretty good to be able to deal with you. Hatefully, my family doesn't think so, they're too harsh and disgusting; Coupled with Xie Dahua's badness, the two of us were separated.
Later, I came to work alone in the garment factory in the city, but in fact, we still had a chance at that time. It's just that because of my naivety and naivety, I was deceived by the bad young man Jiang Feng, and later developed to live and fly with him. From then on, I felt like I didn't have the face to see you, let alone get back together.
You may have always had a question, that is, why did I give myself to Jiang Feng, a person who is not good, when I knew that you were still waiting for me? Seriously, now that I think about it, I think it's a bit incredible. If you want to blame it, you can blame Jiang Feng for being too good at talking and bragging.
Of course, pleasing young women is his forte. At that time, there was a mix of men and women in our factory, and there were people from all over the world. Many people are in love while working, and of course, there are many men and women who really turn out to be. Jiang Feng originally chased other girls, but he was later chased away by people with good conditions. Later, Jiang Feng saw that there were not many people to choose from, so Jiang Feng set his sights on me.
At first, I really didn't like him, really! Because his appearance is not as handsome as yours, and he has no temperament; In terms of work, how much better can he be with us? So at first, when he used things to please me, I simply ignored him.
Who knew that this made him very annoyed. He moved out of the woman he had been chasing, saying that I was much worse than the woman, so why didn't I buy his account? What an ugly girl!
Oh my mom, I'm so angry when I hear that. I argued with reason, saying what was the use of him moving out of that beautiful girl? After all, you didn't catch up with Jiang Feng! Then I told him about my situation, that is, to tell him, you are still waiting for me in your hometown. He didn't seem convinced, and asked us to wait and see.
Later, a strange thing happened to make things turn around. This is a very young, very delicate, and very smart girl in our factory who actually let Jiang Feng's buddy get started. That girl's family conditions are not bad; And that man, he really can't even compare to Jiang Feng in all aspects. This couple developed very quickly, and after falling in love for a while, they went back to their hometown to get married. Then the two of them went out together to work in the factory and rented a house outside.
After this incident happened, it really had a great impact on those of us women who were not very qualified. Jiang Feng and the others took this as an example, scolding us women for having no capital and being proud, and we really want to study hard with that girl with a good attitude! They also scared us, saying that if we blindly carried it to death, we would definitely die a miserable death!
In addition, Jiang Feng is still belittled in my ear. Say you're a nerd at best, and you don't have any other skills, and you have very limited money. In addition, he guessed that people like you have an inflated mentality and are distracted. If I still insist on being united with you, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in the future.
He kept saying that, and eventually everyone around me knew about it. Eventually, I took his word for granted. Needless to say, I followed the river wind. It wasn't until that time when I went back to Huangzhen with Jiang Feng and met you in the car that I regretted it a little. β
Zhu Yushen listened to Xie Wumei talk about these past events in a slow manner, and he gradually felt a sour feeling in his nose. At the same time, he later recalled the bitterness when he was waiting for Xie Wumei, and the sadness he felt after seeing her appear with Jiang Feng. Therefore, he didn't want Xie Wumei to say any more.
In addition, he sent Xie Wumei to follow him and talk while walking, which seemed to be more tired. He interrupted her. "We've been walking for so long." The store you're going to take me to is coming, right? β
Xie Wumei pointed to the front and said, "It's here." Just a little ahead. But I'm thinking about one thing, how do you buy that thing and bring it back? You won't be able to bring this bike with you. Then they entered the store, and Xie Wumei asked Zhu Yushen to stand aside first, and then she went to bargain. In the end, she cut the price to a fairly cheap level, which made Zhu Yushen feel a little incredible. At the same time, he was also more grateful to Xie Wumei, thinking that if he hadn't met her today, then he would definitely have to spend more.
After negotiating the price. Xie Wumei asked the store to wrap up the fire box. At this time, Zhu Yushen felt that the problem was more troublesome, because this thing was so big and heavy that there was no way to bring it back with a bicycle. However, he couldn't take a taxi because he had nowhere to put his bike.
When he was in trouble, Xie Wumei said: "Don't bother, I'll help you call two rickshaws to come over and help you send them back, they usually help people deliver goods." Stay a little bit and you ride in front and lead and he's behind. Rest assured, the shipping fee must be more reasonable. It won't break the bank. β
As soon as he said this, Zhu Yushen was relieved. He is really very grateful to Xie Wumei. Because in terms of buying things and transporting things back, Xie Wumei must have saved him a lot of money. Subsequently, Xie Wumei called the owner of the rickshaw tricycle. But the reply was that the delivery happened to be delivered, and it would take an hour to get here.
When Xie Wumei told Zhu Yushen about this situation, Zhu Yushen seemed more embarrassed. Because they can't wait here forever, he's fine; However, Xie Wumei opened a restaurant, and he thought, she must not want to wait so long. So he said, "There is still an hour before this man can come, or you should go back first." β
Xie Wumei said: "I'll wait here, you don't have to worry about me." My store doesn't have much business during this time, so I'm here to accompany you. Otherwise, you don't know the man when he comes. β
Hearing Xie Wumei say this, Zhu Yushen looked around. He wanted to find a tea house or something, and the two of them went in and sat and talked for another hour. He could also feel that Xie Wumei must have a lot to say to him later, so she was not in a hurry to leave. Besides, he also has to thank Xie Wumei for the fact that he helped him save a sum of money by bargaining just now, and for helping him find a car. Asking her something to eat and drink is completely deserved.
So he touched Xie Wumei and said, "Look, there's a tea house over there, let's go in and sit and chat while drinking tea." β
As soon as she heard this, Xie Wumei's eyes immediately widened, and then she squinted at Zhu Yushen and said, "Oh, you're more generous than before, aren't you?" It costs a lot of money to sit in this tea house for a while, which is where we rural people sit. Oh no, you're from the city now.
But I remember you weren't like that before. You've never spent money indiscriminately before, but you're not stingy with people, so it's better that way. Unlike some men, who panic when they have a little money in their hands, they have to spend it to calm down.
Hey, this money is too hard to earn, but too easy to spend. Let's not go to any tea house to sit, just find a place where we can sit, sit and talk while waiting for the person to come. Well, you see it's good over there, let's go over! β
Zhu Yushen looked in the direction of Xie Wumei's finger and found that it was a green space on the corner of the street, and there were a few wooden chairs in the green space. He felt that it should be okay for the two of them to sit there for a while, so he followed Xie Wumei to that side. When Xie Wumei stretched out her hand just now, he could see that her hand was no longer what it used to be.
He remembered that her little hands were white and fat, and they felt soft and elastic to the touch. But now the hands were blackened, thin, and scarred. It's no wonder, because she runs a restaurant here, and she is busy with dishes and bowls all day long, and it is impossible to maintain her hands well. Unlike before, she worked as a tailor on Huangzhen Street, and her hands basically did not have to touch the oil.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yushen somewhat understood why Xie Wumei complained that she was old and unlooking. It seems that before you know it, you are getting old. When they walked to the middle of the green space and sat down, Xie Wumei said with a serious face: "Zhu Yushen, I just talked to you about Jiang Feng so much, but in fact, it was all nonsense, because I also separated from him later." Not long after that wedding banquet, the relationship between the two of us became stiff.
I mentioned Jiang Feng to you, mainly because I wanted to explain the past things clearly to you, and I couldn't hold it in my heart. Seeing you like this today, I'm sure you won't hate me. Now, I'll tell you about the current situation of our family and my man. Alas, it's hard to put into words! β
At this time, Zhu Yushen was obviously interested in Xie Wumei and her words. He was also secretly surprised, Xie Wumei has now become capable. Time can really change everything, he thought, and of course people themselves must be fickle.
Xie Wumei lowered her head at this time, and she said, "Zhu Yushen, I'm really embarrassed to mention that incident again." But if you don't mention me, I'm afraid that you will scold me afterwards, I think you won't forget it. That's it, I've borrowed money from you before, a few thousand dollars. At that time, I was basically your girlfriend. You probably took advantage of the opportunity to lend me money, or to finance me, to curry favor with me again. In this way, I will buy my heart and let me follow you without hesitation.
That's what I thought when I took the money from you. So it seemed like a no-brainer. If it weren't for the fact that things had changed, the money wouldn't have been worth it. Because I fell into your arms again, what else can you say about helping me live outside?
But things didn't go the way you imagined, and I ended up falling into someone else's arms. So it stands to reason that I will definitely pay you back this money. It's also because when I asked you for the money, you happened to be rejected by our family again, and nothing happened between you and me. So, you don't have to pay for me.
Do you remember what I said to you in the willow forest by the Chishui River in Huangzhen? In fact, I have long wanted to return the money to you, but I have to hand it over to my family or use it to live as soon as I have it; In addition, it is not easy to live outside, and Jiang Feng, who will be talked about later, is also an uncompetitive person. So the matter has been put on hold.
Later, after I got married, because the man's family conditions were not good, there were a lot of things to do, and I couldn't bother about it. Of course, I can't tell my man about it, just like you can't tell your wife. It's nothing, but it's easy to be complicated by others, and even think about the bad side.
So facing you today, I feel really sorry to think about it. It's not a lot of money, but it's been a few years. Money was certainly worth more then than it is now, and your salary back then may not have been more than half of what it is now.
Anyway, I'm sure I've got you in mind. If you have money one day, I will definitely pay you back. It's just that...... I can't believe that life is going to get better for me and my family now, and it feels like it's getting worse every year. Oops, depressed. (To be continued......)
