Chapter 1 Leaving the House
In City C in May, the rain was pouring and the sky was overcast.
Li Yanqing curled up on the luxurious Italian sofa with his mobile phone, through the spacious floor-to-ceiling window, and watched the raindrops frantically slap on the glass, making a "pop" sound, and then drawing a messy rain line on the window pane.
I don't know how long I watched it, but the scenery outside has long since become blurry.
It wasn't until the crisp bell rang, no less than a thunderclap in the empty living room, that Li Yanqing came to his senses.
Retracting his gaze, it turned out to be the landline on the coffee table ringing.
Her landline has never been called by only one person.
After hesitating for a moment, she slowly rubbed over and picked it up, biting her lip and whispering, "Mom-"
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was an unhappy reprimand on the phone, "Why is it so slow to answer the phone?" You're getting more and more grinding now, aren't people who don't go out to work also lazy......"
Every time her noble mother-in-law, Lu Yuanzhou's mother, Zhou Wenqing, called, as long as her daughter-in-law didn't pick up in time three seconds before the phone rang, she would inevitably listen to such a usual reprimand.
She and Lu Yuanzhou have been married for two years, and this kind of reprimand has long been accustomed to her daughter-in-law, and the limited conversation between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law always starts with Zhou Wenqing's reprimand.
And such a reprimand often indicates that her mother-in-law is in a bad mood. Of course, when people are in a good mood, they will never think of her as a daughter-in-law, let alone pay attention to her.
Through the telephone line, Li Yanqing could imagine the appearance of her always noble and elegant mother-in-law at this moment, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were cold, and her thin lips were flying up and down against the microphone.
And her unfavored daughter-in-law can only endure it, "Mom, I was wrong, I won't be next time......"
Zhou Wenqing complained and heard Li Yanqing's soft response, and was even more displeased, but it was not good to continue to be angry, remembering the purpose of his call, so he asked, "What about Yuanzhou?" What has he been busy with lately and he hasn't even had a phone call? I didn't see him come home......"
Li Yanqing naturally knew that the "home" that her mother-in-law said was not her and Lu Yuanzhou's current home, but the mansion of her mother-in-law in the neighboring city of City A.
Covering an area of more than ten acres of yards, in addition to the servants, there are only two people in and out of the public highway Fang Zhong and his mother-in-law Zhou Wenqing, the father-in-law is busy with the company and is not at home, and the mother-in-law is naturally lonely and panicked alone, no wonder she thinks of her only son.
It's just that this time she was able to call herself, presumably Lu Yuanzhou really didn't call her for some days.
Li Yanqing looked at the mobile phone he was holding in his left hand, and the text message on it was only two short lines: "Knock the child out!" I'll go back to the divorce formalities next week!! ”
She gritted her teeth, "Mom - Yuanzhou he - said to come back next week......"
Zhou Wenqing was obviously very dissatisfied with such an answer, and his voice couldn't help but raise, "Next week? I'm asking you what he did! He has been busy with the company's projects in the field, and he has come back early from a business trip! Isn't this clear to you, wife?! ”
“......”
When the mother-in-law said this, she had obviously called the branch of the Lu family in City C to inquire about the whereabouts of Lu Yuanzhou.
Before Li Yanqing could think about what to say, he only heard his mother-in-law's more angry reprimand from the microphone, "How did you become a wife?" Your husband has been out for more than half a month, and you don't care? You said he's coming back next week, so do you know where he's now? Do you know how he's doing? Are you so relieved that he's outside? Your husband is working hard outside and you enjoy Qingfu at home, but you don't even know where your husband is, and your wife is too relieved, right? ? ”
A series of questions came through the phone line like a bomb, and Li Yanqing's eardrums "buzzed":
- I know where he is;
- I also know how he is doing;
- As a husband, he doesn't go back to his home all day and night, and he doesn't allow me to fool around outside, and he doesn't allow me to have half a "no", do you think my heart is wide enough?
Every time he was angry and indiscriminately reprimanded Zhou Wenqing, Li Yanqing desperately told himself, endure! Must endure!
Li Yanqing involuntarily clenched the phone line and took a deep breath, "Mom, Yuanzhou he-doesn't want to come back......"
Zhou Wenqing suddenly became angry, "What do you mean?!" This is his home, why doesn't he want to come back?! As a **, Li Yanqing, you have to take a good look at yourself, why doesn't your husband want to come back! Yuanzhou used to be very obedient when he was at home, and he never stayed overnight, but since he married you, it has become a common thing to stay at night. You live the life of a leisurely wife, but your husband does not want to come home, how do you do your part? Can you get your position right? ......”
The implication is that anyone can understand it, Li Yanqing, your husband used to behave properly, and now it is her wife's fault that she goes out to look for flowers and ask Liu!
To be honest, Li Yanqing doesn't know the situation of other families, anyway, in the eyes of her mother-in-law, her son is perfect.
Every time there is a little discord with Lu Yuanzhou, it is always himself who is trained.
However, it was clear that the mother-in-law knew the virtues and whereabouts of her perfect son, so why should she ask herself! It's just a matter of using the topic to find trouble, as if as long as you don't scold yourself every few days, your old man's life will be short.
"Ding", the mobile phone prompts a new text message to come in, and Li Yan clears it.
Lu Yuanzhou's information was simply indifferent, "You are out of the house!" ”
The mother-in-law was still making noise in her ears, and Li Yanqing didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she said "He won't be missing" and hung up the phone.
The daughter-in-law, who has always been submissive, not only dared to talk back to herself, but also hung up her phone first, Zhou Wenqing was stunned for a few seconds and then suddenly burst into flames.
——
Li Yanqing stared at the deducted phone, of course she could imagine what the wealthy mother-in-law who had always been high would be angry with herself, but this time she was really fed up!
has been married to Lu Yuanzhou for two years, and she has heard such sarcastic words more than 10,000 times.
The Lu family rules that she had to live with her in-laws in the first year of marriage, so she had never seen the good face of her mother-in-law Zhou Wenqing, and she had to be trained every day, and Zhou Wenqing had many reasons.
For a while, she thought that Li Yanqing stepped on the stairs loudly and affected her living room to read the newspaper, and turned her head and said that Li Yanqing was too slow to eat, or she was too slow to eat, or she didn't send Lu Yuanzhou, who went to work, to the door, and the most speechless thing was that she had to ask Li Yanqing every month if she was pregnant, and when she heard it, her face was as long as Changbai Mountain......
The taste of living like a year in a cold eye always woke Li Yanqing from a nightmare.
Fortunately, in the second year, the Lu family had a project in C City, so she and Lu Yuanzhou moved out and moved to their current apartment.
Thinking that he had escaped the double torture of words and spirits, at least when he didn't have to look at his mother-in-law every day, Zhou Wenqing's phone bombardment made Li Yanqing have a headache.
