Chapter 18: Don't come for fear of losing face

Da Liu was stunned, "Are you still okay?" ”

I tapped my hand twice on the table, "Checkout, isn't this meal Brother Liu, please me?" I looked at Zhou Xiaojing inquiringly.

Zhou Xiaojing's pretty face was blue and red.

Da Liu Ming wanted to lose the money for this meal.

Also, three steaks, plus drinks, service charges, at least 1,000 yuan, but I didn't even touch the woman's hand, which is too worthless.

Under my gaze, Da Liu took out a small wad of banknotes from his wallet and pressed it on the table, "These should be enough, if they are not enough, you can make up for them first, and then call me to ask me." I'm really still in trouble, I'm out of company! ”

Da Liu said that he put on a padded jacket and ran, so fast, as if a ghost was chasing him.

I threw the banknote to Zhou Xiaojing, "Let's see if there is enough money for food." ”

I dropped my knife and fork and called the waiter.

This meal was a total of one thousand and three, and we made up five hundred ourselves.

Zhou Xiaojing's face turned pale, "I didn't eat much of this, so I wasted five hundred yuan." ”

"I don't think it's worth it, don't you come?" I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart anymore.

Tonight, if I hadn't just bumped into me, my wife might have done something with that garlic-smelling Liu, and it would be very angry to think about it.

Zhou Xiaojing hung his head weakly and whispered, "If you have anything to say, can you go back and say it, this is a high-end restaurant." ”

"Afraid of losing face?" I snorted very coldly, "You dare to do something behind your husband's back to meet a wild man, are you afraid of losing face?" ”

"Don't say it so badly, okay!" Zhou Xiaojing raised her head suddenly, but her voice was still very low, "I didn't do all this for our life, who made you a poor bastard?" When I'm willing to deal with that garlic-smelling guy! Get out of the way! ”

The more Zhou Xiaojing spoke, the more angry she became, pushing me and squeezing out between me and the table.

She took two steps with her head bored, only to find that she still had the mink in her hand, turned around again, and threw the mink at me, "Give back the broken thing you rented!" ”

Angry, I threw the mink over my shoulder and followed with my crutches.

The more I looked at my wife's back, the more angry I became, and at the door of the hotel, I casually threw the mink to the handsome guy who greeted the guests, "This is for you!" ”

Such a wife does not deserve my gift.

The welcome boy opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he could stuff the eggs.

In the taxi, Zhou Xiaojing and I sat in the back seat, but like two strangers, neither of them paid attention to anyone.

The mother-in-law stood at the door of the ward and looked anxious.

She saw Zhou Xiaojing get out of the elevator and ran two steps happily, but soon saw me following Zhou Xiaojing, and her footsteps immediately stopped.

Zhou Xiaojing didn't even look at her mother-in-law, she went straight into the ward to see Qingqing, and almost jumped to her feet in a hurry.

I saw her pull Zhou Xiaojing's sleeve several times.

"Your mother has something to ask you, why don't you ignore it?" I deliberately reminded Zhou Xiaojing.

Zhou Xiaojing's face turned red, stared at me hard, and said, "The child is still here, are you sure you want to quarrel with me?" ”

"What am I arguing with you, I'm just reminding you that your mother has something to ask you. Isn't it, mother-in-law? I looked at my mother-in-law with condensed eyes.

One of my mothers-in-law scared her mother-in-law a lot, and her speech was a little incoherent, "Son-in-law, are you, wrong, misunderstanding?" ”

"I didn't get me wrong." I sneered and hit Zhou Xiaojing hard with my cane, "Okay, go and report to your mother, she won't be able to sit still." My daughter, I'll take care of it myself. ”

Zhou Xiaojing covered her face in shame and ran out.

The mother-in-law hurriedly followed.

Qingqing asked incomprehensibly, "Dad, what's wrong with Mom?" Are you arguing again? ”

"Mom did something wrong and was scolded by Dad." I'm not going to hide too much from my child, but now my child is enlightened early, and there are some things that she can try to understand. My mother-in-law's recent behavior has made me feel a hidden worry in my heart, I am afraid that there will be a crisis in this marriage, if what I am worried about really happens, I hope my daughter Qingqing will be psychologically prepared first.

"Why are Mom and Dad arguing again?" Qingqing asked worriedly.

How afraid my daughter is of our divorce, my mother-in-law persuaded Zhou Xiaojing to divorce me on the night I already knew.

"Because your mother went to see Uncle Liu behind your father's back." I said half and concealed half of it.

"That garlic-smelling guy?" Qingqing pouted, "Didn't you say you wouldn't get divorced, what did mom do when she went to see that annoying guy?" ”

"Daddy hates that guy too, so Daddy scolded your mom." I patted my daughter's little hand gently, "How do you feel today, is it still painful?" ”

Qingqing shook her head, "The doctor gave me a pain reliever, it doesn't hurt." ”

"It's good if it doesn't hurt, if you want to eat supper, Dad will buy it for you."

"I want to eat rice balls, is that okay?" Qingqing bit her lip and said.

Qingqing loves sweets, but she is usually afraid that she will eat her teeth badly, so she controls it, and now that she is sick, she naturally has to meet her requirements.

"Dad, I'm going to buy it." I stood up on crutches.

When I walked out of the ward, I just bumped into my mother-in-law and Zhou Xiaojing, who were speaking.

When my mother-in-law saw me, she hid behind Zhou Xiaojing like a child who had done something wrong, and after hiding, she felt too embarrassed, so she pinched the corner of her clothes and walked out.

She squeezed for a long time before she squeezed out a smile, "Uncle, Mom asked Xiao Jing to see Da Liu today, I really don't mean anything else." He said that he had prepared tens of thousands of gifts for Xiao Jing, and I thought to myself, let's bring that gift, even if we sell it at half price, it will be enough for Qingqing to be discharged from the hospital. I'm completely thinking about your family, who knew that Da Liu would give a fake, thanks to your aunt, you appeared, and it was shoddy to debunk Da Liu, otherwise Xiao Jing would have lost a lot. ”

"And what if I don't break it?" I asked, half-narrowing.

Mother-in-law speaks.

Everyone is an adult, the man sends you tens of thousands of bags, and the upstairs is the guest room, what will happen, and the three of them know it.

"Xiao Jing won't be sorry for you. If she really has that heart, she has been a salesman all these years, and she doesn't know how many hats she will wear on you. ”

"Mom!" Zhou Xiaojing lowered her face with a dark face, "What are you talking about?" ”

Bang, the mother-in-law slapped herself, "Blame me for tonight's incident, uncle, don't be angry with Xiaojing, okay?" ”

I was really angry, but the child was too young, and if I divorced, it would hurt the child's young mind, so I could only suppress my anger.

"When you left in the afternoon, who took care of Qingqing?" Although I don't plan to divorce, I won't let my mother-in-law go casually.

"I ......" the mother-in-law's eyes dodged, "Qingqing, isn't it okay, uncle, don't pursue it anymore." I know it's wrong, even if there is something big in the future, I won't leave the hospital again, I swear! ”

The mother-in-law raised her finger to the sky.

"You'd better remember what you're saying now, and if there's a next time, don't blame me for driving you back!" I finished coldly and walked away on crutches.

Before I could go far, I faintly heard my mother-in-law's voice, "Phew, a cripple, still there's a big head of garlic." If it weren't for my daughter's sake, the old woman would be weird about you! ”

If it weren't for my daughter, I would have seen the faces of your mother and daughter! I secretly slandered ......

Zhou Xiaojing and I have been in a cold war, even if we go to visit Qingqing in the hospital after work, we just don't see each other.

On this day, the doctor told me that I could be discharged from the Qingqing Office, I was very happy, and when I turned around, I saw Zhou Xiaojing crying with joy, and my heart couldn't help but soften.

This woman has been with me for eight years, and she has always lived with me very seriously, and it is only because the recent economic conditions have taken a sharp turn for the worse that she has become so impatient, and I am also responsible.

I couldn't help but scream, "Wife." ”

Zhou Xiaojing's tears originally contained in her eyes fell, "Husband, aren't you angry with me?" The voice was timidly nervous.

She would also be nervous about my thoughts, proving that she was not actually cheating psychologically, and I nodded, "Husband and wife don't have an overnight feud, how can I be angry with you all the time." ”

Zhou Xiaojing rested her head on my shoulder.

"Great, Mom and Dad are reconciled!" Qingqing clapped her hands and cheered.

Zhou Xiaojing and I blushed, and the dark clouds that lingered over Zhou Xiaojing's heads finally dispersed.

The mother-in-law, who came back from fetching water, looked at us suspiciously, "Did anything happen to you when I left?" ”

"It's fine." Zhou Xiaojing and I spoke in unison.

The mother-in-law's brows furrowed, "You guys, reconciled?" ”

The mother-in-law's reaction made my heart chuckle, she wouldn't sprout again, would she?

After Qingqing was discharged from the hospital, she and her mother-in-law were sent home, and lunch was scheduled before I went to work.

Li Pingting originally wanted to approve me for a full day off, but I didn't agree, and I still asked for leave repeatedly during the probation period, which is not good.

When I returned to the office, at half past ten, I turned on my computer and was about to start entering data, but my phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number, and I was afraid that it was a call from the hospital, so I took it.

"Hey, Kobayashi?"

On the other end of the phone was a muffled voice, somewhat familiar.

I frowned and thought for a long time before I heard who it was, "Lao Li?" Have you been discharged from the hospital? ”

These days, because Qingqing had a car accident, I didn't go to the hospital to see him.

"Well, you're convenient now, right? Help me see which stock will go up today, I'm going to the trading floor. I'm going to win again today. ”

I hesitated, I won last time, but he went to the hospital, in case......

"Uncle Li, otherwise, you better stop playing stocks, it is very dangerous to play this for high blood pressure." I whispered.

"What do you say! I don't play this, what am I playing? Besides, I've been on the exchange for so long, and I've finally raised my eyebrows, so now let me stop, is it possible? Xiaolin, you must support me today, otherwise I will go to your company to find you! ”

I had no choice but to tell him the stock code I was optimistic about, "Uncle Li, you must be more leisurely this time......"

"Who are you talking to on the phone?"

I was tapped on the shoulder.

I quickly covered my phone.

Li Pingting jumped and sat down on my desk.

The girl seemed to be used to talking to me in this position.

"If you don't say it, I know who it is, my grandfather, right?" She played with her hair and didn't look at me.

"How do you know?" My eyes widened in astonishment.

"I just got a call from the hospital that he had sneaked out. That old man, who can't be idle, is in good health, and it is impossible to let him stay obediently in the hospital. If he escapes, he must go to the exchange, and before going to the exchange, he will definitely call you, the god of luck he considers. Li Pingting stretched out her hand in front of me, "Give me the phone." ”
