Chapter 20: The Lobbyist

Who is Aunt Yang? Aunt Yang's name is Yang Jie, and she is one of the good girlfriends of Su Xia's mother-in-law, Jin Yahui. used to be a colleague, and later went to the sea to do business, opened a wire and cable factory, relying on decades of accumulated customers, doing a good job. According to her mother-in-law, Jin Yahui, she was given a lot of help when she was at a low point in her divorced life, both financially and mentally. Su Xia gave a big red envelope when she got married, and she met a few times after marriage, and she was an extremely cheerful and enthusiastic person. Later, Su Xia and they replaced the house, and there was a one-month time difference between selling the house and buying a house with a down payment, and they didn't say a word, and they directly gave it to the pad, so Su Xia sincerely admired and thanked her.

But that's all, Su Xia didn't have too much direct contact with her. This time, he suddenly took the initiative to call Su Xia to invite, if Su Xia guessed correctly, he should have come to act as a lobbyist for his mother-in-law Jin Yahui. is nothing more than persuading Su Xia to cherish her marriage, save her family, and bitterly explain the disadvantages and misfortunes of divorce, because this is not the first lobbyist arranged by her mother-in-law.

During the entire period of separation, her mother-in-law Jin Yahui stood firmly on Su Xia's side from the beginning, constantly accusing and scolding her son, and later continued to instill in Su Xia the idea of cherishing marriage, men are the same, and can get by, and pulled Su Xia to understand her son together, so she staged a drama, crying with relatives and friends everywhere about the hardships and misfortunes of her life, crying that Su Xia and Chen Xuan divorced and became ill...... Originally, Ms. Jin was completely dead in the divorce lawsuit, so she did not hesitate to make an "IOU" and partner with her son to fight for every financial benefit. In the final lawsuit, Su Xia disagreed with the divorce ruling, which suddenly ignited the hope in Ms. Jin's heart that the two could get back together. So a new round of lobbying began.

The previous relatives and friends just made a simple phone call to persuade her, and Su Xia also kept making her position clear, and also explained her attitude and current situation to Ms. Jin. Su Xia thought to herself, shouldn't she really want to redeem herself, shouldn't she discipline and reprimand her son for "changing his evil ways and returning to righteousness", no longer conniving infinitely, and cutting off financial support? On the other hand, he blindly asked his daughter-in-law to tolerate it, what is the so-called keeping a complete home for the sake of the child, what kind of truth is this.

The lunch venue was about to sit on the water and watch the mountains, and enjoy the breeze and willows in the leisure place Houhai. On an autumn afternoon, the streets of Houhai are quiet and beautiful, as if shielding the hustle and bustle of cars and horses shuttling back and forth, blocking the rich taste of old Beijing food wafting in the air.

"Xia, sit." When Su Xia arrived on time, Yang Jie had already sat down and waited.

"Hello Aunt Yang, sorry, the road is a little congested." As he spoke, Su Xia sat down while taking off his coat, handed over a box of flower tea brought from home, and said, "This flower tea tastes very good, beautiful and beautiful." ”

"You're too polite, come all the way and bring something to Auntie." Yang Jie took it over with a happy face, and her face in her sixties under her neat short hair was engraved with the traces of time, but it was full of brilliance, "I'm sorry, I chose a place close to my house, and I want to cause you to come all the way." ”

"It's okay, I just have time to come to Houhai for a walk, I haven't been here for a long time." Yes, I still came to the road a few times when I was in love with Chen Xuan.

"Let's have a casual chat today." Yang Jie said with a smile, and poured Su Xia a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

"Thank you! I've always admired you, and I've often heard my grandmother mention you. ”

"Hey, I've always told your mother that I really envy you for having a good daughter-in-law, and your mother always praises you for being competent and sensible in front of us."

Su Xia smiled and said nothing.

"Two days ago, we had a party, and I saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and she told me about the two of you." Su Xia thought to herself, she should have talked to many people in detail. Mother-in-law Jin Yahui is extremely sociable and chattering, parents can chat for two or three hours without drinking water, and the worries and sadness at home are constantly looking for people to talk to, seeking understanding and comfort from others everywhere.

"Well, so please enlighten her more, enjoy your old age, and don't always worry about us."

"Yes, I also told her that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. But her heart is too heavy, and she really doesn't want your good home to be broken up like this. ”

Su Xia thought to herself, it was her son who broke up this family, why didn't she educate and whip that mastermind. "I wasn't the one who broke up this family." Su Xia stated.

"Yes, I know this, the main mistake is Chen Xuan. Xia, listen to Auntie's words, most men are like this, Chen Xuan's essence is not bad, I grew up watching him grow up. ”

"Well, I know this, and I also liked him at the beginning, but this can't be an excuse to make mistakes again and again."

"Yes, it's his fault, in fact, men are essentially children and are prone to make mistakes."

Su Xia thought to herself, I am still a child at the age of thirty or forty, so I can't be a mother for the rest of my life!

"Xia'er, after all, I'm older, and I have more life experience than you. It's not that I'm biased towards anyone, but I just persuade you from the perspective of our women, assuming that you are divorced, you must be reluctant to let go of the child, it is really not easy for a single woman to take care of a child! Remarrying is even more difficult than ascending to the sky! It's also rare luck for your mother to meet your Uncle Lin, otherwise it's easy to meet the right one. ”

Isn't Su Xia unclear about these truths. "I know, especially a divorced older single woman, or with a boy, I am also ready to face all difficulties and remain single, I can't have no bottom line and dignity because of some unknown difficulties." Chen Xuan has seriously trampled on Su Xia's bottom line about marriage and her little dignity in marriage.

"Well, I understand your feelings, and I'm also a person who can't rub sand in my eyes. However, most couples are noisy when they are young, and it is good to be with each other when they are old. When I was young, I also fought with your uncle every day, and now it's not good, no one can do without anyone. ”

"I know this, and it also depends on the situation. My parents often quarreled when they were young, and now they have a good relationship, but they are all trivial matters, not matters of principle. ”

"Your mother-in-law is mainly worried that you will live such a difficult life for her, besides, your grandson is so young and lives in a single-parent family, you don't want Xibao to live in a single-parent family since childhood, your mother-in-law is afraid that Xibao will become the next Chen Xuan."

"No, it won't! First of all, I am not my mother-in-law, and I will not use the same educational methods as her, but I can guarantee that what I can do is to give my son the most love and the right education possible. ”

"Well, I know, I also told your mother-in-law that you are knowledgeable, educated and capable, and it is no longer our era, and it is different from us. But you still haven't experienced the hardships of life, I have seen with my own eyes how difficult it is for your mother-in-law to take Chen Xuan to get to where you are today. There are also a lot of single women in my factory, and it is not easy for them to live. Women can't be too strong, it's good to be aggressive at work, but you still have to be soft in life. I am slowly understanding this truth, and I am slowly correcting it, there are a few people like me who are so strong and haven't divorced, haha......" Yang Jie laughed at herself.

The implication is that Su Xia is too competitive and competitive, is it true that being able in life is so strong, is being assertive is so strong, and besides, when I am a bird, others can't see it.

After a series of theories of "people who have come over", Su Xia took a bite of the dish, and today he chose a Beijing restaurant, and he felt that the barbecue and duck rolls were tasteless.

"Two cheating, a complaint sued me to the court for divorce, and spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer just to get rid of me, do you think I should still blindly tolerate and forgive again? I am well aware of how precious a happy family is to children, but if a happy and intact family cannot be maintained, a good single-parent family is better than a so-called intact family that looks like a god and quarrels every day. Su Xia talked about her knowledge and views on family.

continued, "I understand the principles of marriage you said, I even think that marriage is like an electrical appliance, there is always a shelf life and occasional failures, and I understand that men are lower body animals, so the first time I cheated I didn't forgive him with a complaint, and gave him a chance, but there was a second and third time...... Even today, in my conscience, I think that Chen Xuan and I have been in love for one year and married for nine years is very happy and sweet, in fact, I am very grateful to him for giving me ten years of happy life, and I have also given birth to such a good child together...... "The more Su Xia said, the more excited she became, and today, when she was so calm, tears still couldn't stop flowing, and every time she mentioned the past and Xibao, she couldn't suppress her emotions......

Yang Jie handed over the tissue, "Yes, I heard your mother say that you two had a very good relationship before." ”

"Yes, we used to be very good, but now he is only good to others, he cheats again and again, lies repeatedly, Dad's responsibility is not born, he doesn't return home, fate is over......"

Yang Jie asked weakly, "Didn't you change the lock so that he couldn't go back to home?" Your mother said he could only live in the unit every day......"

Su Xia sneered, and the drama of reversing right and wrong, black and white was staged again.

"So far, he doesn't even have the courage to admit his mistakes, and even splashed the notoriety of divorce and the dirty water of cheating on me and planted the blame on my head!" Su Xia thought angrily. Yes, since the relationship broke down, Su Xia has become a wicked woman full of minions in the mouths of Chen Xuan's colleagues in the unit, a strong woman among relatives and friends, and even in the quarrel with Su Xia, she accused Su Xia of being unclean outside, which is very important for the unit and family; Su Xia, who has a job and a son, is undoubtedly a great shame! But she doesn't want to argue too much, right and wrong are at ease in people's hearts.

He simply said, "No, he doesn't live in the unit." ”

"Oh, is there really no way to reconcile?"

"No, absolutely impossible, not from me." Su Xia took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, her eyes fixed on the bright yellow chrysanthemums that were confined in a small transparent cup, dyeing the transparent water into a beautiful soft yellow.

continued: "Actually, sometimes I also think, why can't I make a big fuss and cry loudly, or I won't divorce him, and retreat my principles from my bottom line little by little, or even if I wait for him to come home, save the marriage in name only as long as this family is still there, but Aunt Yang, that's not me, first, I won't cry, and second, I also have the bottom line of my marriage." ”

"Xia'er, you and I don't imagine it the same, don't cry, don't be impulsive, you have ideas, you know what you want."

"No, I just follow my heart. Maybe it's determined by the clear character of love and hate.,Love is good love.,If you don't love, you'll be scattered.,It's hard to change your character.。 Su Xia said lightly. Maybe the road ahead is bumpy, but I still have thirty or forty years of life to go, and I don't want my future life to be gray and spent in resentment, so that my son can't have a mother who can pass on his happiness. ”

"Yes, there are infinite possibilities in life, since you can't be together, don't force it, I'll enlighten your mother-in-law when you go back."

"Well, you're bothered! Aunt Yang, I have always admired your talent and ability, and today you bothered to enlighten me, and Chen Xuan and I stopped like this, for all your help before, I thank you today with tea instead of wine, to you! Su Xia held up the teacup with both hands and raised it in front of her.

Yang Jie said emotionally: "Xia'er, take a good walk in the future, and if you have any difficulties in life, please feel free to find your Aunt Yang!" ”

"Hmm!"

The two drank a cup of tea each, and Su Xia secretly paid the bill and went home.

Outside the window, the river is flooded with boats, and the bank is still full of traffic, and the world is colorful.
