Although it should be good in her heart that Wang Xiuzhen did not ask Zhang Shan for a sky-high bride price, plus Xia Yu has a degree and a job, and she has the confidence to have a hard waist in the Zhang family, her in-laws did not dare to bully Xia Yu, but they acted more often according to Xia Yu's eyes. In addition, Xia Yu sometimes comforts himself, after all, he can marry without relying on a dowry, which is also his own ability.

The dowry made Xia Yu understand that his mother's family was unreliable, and his strong self was his strongest backing.

Fortunately, I will comfort myself, my parents' parents and younger brother are really good, and the most important thing is that my mother's family is good, and I also have face in my in-law's family. Xia Yu comforted himself.

As for the fact that his parents asked Xia Yu and his wife to borrow money to repair the house, Xia Yu and his wife borrowed it, but they also knew in their hearts that they would not come back. The younger brother borrowed money to buy a house, Xia Yu borrowed it, but he didn't let go, he must have asked his younger brother to pay it back. At that time, knowing that his parents' parents took 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to support his younger brother to buy a house and decorate, Xia Yu was angry, but he couldn't complain in front of his in-laws and Zhang Shan, this bitter water could only be swallowed in his stomach.

Xia Yu realized at this time that he was really mature and could hide things in his heart.

What really made Xia Yu and Wang Xiuzhen, a mother and daughter, tear their faces in the cold war, was half a year ago. After Xia Yu's mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital half a year ago, she needed to recuperate, so she went to the elevator apartment. Xia Yu also rejected their offer to take their own mother Wang Xiuzhen to take care of Xiaoyuan, and Xia Yu never had any hope for his eccentric mother.

Xia Yu, who had no hope, attracted an even heavier blow from his own mother.

Once, Xia Yu contacted Wang Xiuzhen and asked his mother Wang Xiuzhen: "Have you had enough money recently, if you don't have enough, I'll call you some?" ”

Wang Xiuzhen shook her head: "It's okay, the money is enough, you have the money to keep and raise your children." Xia Yu understood that although Wang Xiuzhen refused on her lips, in fact, every time Xia Yu called the money, Wang Xiuzhen accepted it in full.

Xia Yu continued to chat: "Xiaoyuan's grandmother had an operation some time ago, and this lung disease is estimated to require a year and a half of recuperation. ”

Wang Xiuzhen: "Oh, then does she still live with you now?" ”

Xia Yu shook his head: "I took care of her for more than two months during the summer vacation, and now I am much better, I moved to the elevator apartment to live, and we live separately now, in fact, I have long thought about living separately, she doesn't have to care about Xiaoyuan, she doesn't have to climb the stairs, so it will be better for her body to recover." ”

Wang Xiuzhen was surprised: "You bought a house again?" ”

Xia Yu nodded: "Well, I had some money in my hand at the time, so I bought it, I was going to rent it, but I just renovated it and opened it for a few months, but I didn't expect my in-laws to live in it, which came in handy." ”

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he heard the long silence on the other end of the phone, Wang Zhen was silent for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "Xiaoyu, I won't come over to take care of the child for you, don't beg me, don't beg me." ”

Xia Yu was stunned, his eyes were red, his face was uncomfortable, and he choked up and said, "Don't worry, I won't beg you in this life." ”

After Xia Yu hung up the phone, he kept crying sadly, chopped the watermelon pulp directly into watermelon juice with a spoon, and watched the boring TV, Xia Yu realized that his mother Wang Xiuzhen had long since stopped treating herself as a member of the Xia family, and it turned out that she was the water spilled by the married girl. Xia Yu wiped away his tears and continued to be a strong self, and at the same time began a mother-daughter cold war that lasted for more than half a year.

On Wang Xiuzhen's birthday, she would only send red envelopes to say that there was no voice text message call, and by the way, even her old father Xia Changde was invisibly implicated and was directly ignored by her daughter Xia Yu. When let all this Zhang Shan not know.

In the past six months, Xia Yu has developed the habit of sleeping at nine o'clock with the child alone, and after washing up, Xia Yu fell asleep. woke up to go to the toilet around 0:00 and didn't find Zhang Shan coming back, Xia Yu thought that he would go directly to his in-laws' house to sleep. Xia Yu turned on the light and locked the door and continued to sleep.

The next morning, I slept until I woke up naturally, and when I saw that it was half past eight, there was no little kid chattering next to him, Xia Yu felt that this morning was too good.

Leisurely get up and wash, don't want to cook, ride a small electric car to eat breakfast outside, and finally finalize Xiaoyuan's two interest classes, Xia Yu looked at the time, it was only ten o'clock, it was really a rare leisurely morning. Xia Yu was thinking about whether to call her husband Zhang Shan, do you need to cook?

Zhang Shan immediately called: "Well, I'm on duty today, and I'm eating in the cafeteria, don't cook my food." ”

Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, understood." ”

Xia Yu feels so happy, do you want to? I don't have to cook for my husband at noon today, I don't have to worry about the children, I am free, and I can eat as much as I want. Xia Yu spent his rare time in the mall, returning home with two bags of clothes and a fried rice, and living a free and willful life. With most of the time of freedom and abundance, Xia Yu was already very satisfied and content.

After waking up in the afternoon, he took Xiaoyuan back, cooked for her husband in advance, and accompanied Xiaoyuan to skate at night, Xia Yu looked at the cheerful smile on Xiaoyuan's face, although it was bumpy, the child quickly mastered the balance, and followed the big friend's ass and turned around a few times. Xiao Yuan had just finished the evening practice, Xia Yu took out the pastries that had been prepared long ago, and watched Xiao Yuan gulp milk and nibble on the small cake, Xia Yu's face was very happy, this is tired and happy.

After Xia Yu accompanied Xiaoyuan to a painting class, Xia Yu stopped following, every afternoon Xia Yu rode an electric car to send Xiaoyuan to the painting class, and then went to the gym next door, and when Xiaoyuan was over, Xia Yu also completed the daily fitness task, which was really a double win. Although he was busy and full during the holidays, Xia Yu accepted his current life quite highly.

When the mother and son returned home, Zhang Shan, who was resting at home after duty, was still lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, Xia Yu looked at him like this, he really wanted to be a woman in confinement, and when he got home, he knew that he was paralyzed on the bed, but thinking that he was very tired on night duty, Xia Yu tolerated it. But the mouth couldn't help complaining: "Even if you are at home, you can cook porridge, so that after Xiaoyuan and Xiaoyuan come back, I will directly make two dishes, and we can have dinner soon." ”

Zhang Shan was lying on his side on the bed, his eyes staring at the mobile phone motionlessly, like a sculpture, and he didn't know that he seemed to have listened carefully to what Xia Yu said, when Xia Yu thought that he was habitually pretending to be deaf and dumb, Zhang Shan suddenly burst out lukewarmly: "Aren't you on vacation now, I'm so tired from work every day, I want to rest when I go home, and you still want me to cook, it's unreasonable." ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Shan's words, Xia Yu pursed his lips and retorted: "You sleep and play with your mobile phone in addition to work, even if I don't go to work on vacation, I still have to be a housewife, from morning to night, I have never had a good rest except for a small illness." ”

Zhang Shan was very dissatisfied when he heard Xia Yu say this, and continued to scold: "I am so fortunate to work so hard to support my family, I go out early and return late every day, and I always have a good rest when I go home." ”

Xia Yu said very unhappily: "I'm embarrassed that you take such a little money to support your family, you inquire about this price, you give such a little money every month, the living expenses are not enough, and I am embarrassed to say that I can't even buy a piece of clothing."

With your little money, I paid Xiaoyuan for lunch every month, subsidized a little living expenses for your parents, and bought some meat, and I didn't use my own salary to subsidize it. ”

Zhang Shan didn't care and retorted: "I paid the living expenses for the two of them, I said, you don't have to take money for them." ”

Xia Yu snorted lightly: "Every time I go to your mother's house, she complains that pork is expensive, vegetables are expensive, rice is expensive, everything is expensive, and she is reluctant to eat it, and she is reluctant to eat it, in addition to subsidizing their living expenses, I also give them the pork ribs, chickens and ducks I bought every month." You said I listened to these words and didn't express them, is it possible? "I still can't see through your mother's tricks?

Zhang Shan was a little moved: "I know that you are virtuous, but you don't know that they are more economical, and it is estimated that it is useless to save all their pensions." ”

Xia Yu drank boiled water and said to Zhang Shan: "It's good to understand, understand how much I have paid for this family." Otherwise, Lao Tzu will stop picking and quitting, give you three times the living expenses every month, let you cook for the housekeeper, bring the food to me, and also live the days of clothes to reach out for food and open your mouth, see if you are willing? Hurry up and press a porridge, I'll rest for a while and stir-fry. ”

Looking at Xia Yu's face, Zhang Shan was reluctant to be full of resentment, and his procrastination was clearly unhappy, Picha Picha still succumbed to the oppression of power, and was forced to put down his beloved mobile phone, put it in his trouser pocket, and then came to the kitchen, took out the pressure cooker to wash rice and cook rice.

Then he lay on the sofa and continued to play with his beloved mobile phone, Xiaoyuan immediately snuggled in Zhang Shan's arms, and the father and son watched the funny video on Douyin, laughing, and almost shook the entire ceiling.

Xia Yu shook his head helplessly, and then continued to stir-fry, and soon the family of three ate, as before, Zhang Shan continued to chew slowly, and when Xia Yu ate dinner quickly and fed Xiaoyuan to his full, Zhang Shan put down his chopsticks. After the meal, Zhang Shan continued to hold his son and play with his mobile phone on the sofa, and Xia Yu, who was ordered by his mother, washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, looking at his rough hands, Xia Yu had to apply hand cream to make a mask at any time.

Zhang Shan accompanied Xiaoyuan at night, and did not go to participate in ice skating, Xia Yu was still lamenting the good times of their father and son, when he was watching TV alone, he suddenly heard Xiaoyuan crying, Xia Yu turned his head and saw Zhang Shan wearing his slippers and holding an inch of mobile phone and threw down a tearful and infinitely aggrieved Xiaoyuan, and ran to the small bedroom.

Xia Yu knew, it must have been Zhang Shan who disliked Xiaoyuan and was bored and disturbed him to play with his mobile phone, so he left Xiaoyuan alone and played with himself selfishly.

Xia Yu felt that if most men full of selfish nature were allowed to take care of children as patiently and selflessly as women, it is estimated that this human race would have become extinct long ago. It's still the greatness of women.
