At this time, his phone rang again, needless to say, it was impossible to find him on Chinese New Year's Eve, it could only be his family. He didn't want to answer, so he let the phone ring in his pocket for a while, and his eyebrows were irritated.

The ringing finally stopped, and I thought that the other side of the phone was giving up. But after only half a minute, his phone rang again, and I glanced faintly at his pocket, "Take it, in case something happens." ”

Zhou Yu took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer button, and asked in a very bad tone: "Why do you keep calling me?" ”

But in the next second, his face sank, and he asked urgently: "What's the matter?" It may be that he was excited, and his finger swiped the hands-free button, so the voice in the mobile phone came out, it was Zhou Nian's angry voice: "Mom and Dad specially rushed back to China for the New Year, and lived here with you, your master disappeared early in the morning, missed lunch, and even prepared to be absent from this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Where do you leave your parents? Mom was frightened by the elevator failure and fainted, did you take this to heart? She has always had problems with her heart, but she just stopped us from telling you, you were angry with her to heart attack for a woman back then, and today you plan to make your mother angry to death for that woman? ”

I was shocked, how heavy was Zhou Nian's last sentence, even I was shocked, let alone Zhou Yu?

I saw that his face turned pale inch by inch, but he clenched his teeth and did not say a word, and the knuckles of his grip on the phone were so tight that they turned white. He just said that my heart is so hard as a stone, but at this moment my heart relented.

was about to open his mouth, but he heard Zhou Nian shouting on the other end of the phone: "Third child, are you going to cut off contact with your family for that woman?" ”

My heart sank, and the fire that I couldn't suppress rushed straight to the top of my head, I had no reason or any reason, and I just wanted to draw my sword to protect my man. A cold voice spit out from my mouth: "Zhou Nian, I call you big brother for the sake of Zhou Gongjin's face. But please also respect your brother, I married him innocently, and it is his rightful wife, your brother-in-law, not 'that woman' as you say. Whether it's you, Zhou's mother, or anyone in your Zhou family, please don't use family friendship to put pressure on our marriage. ”

Zhou Nian was silent for a moment, and then spoke in a tone that no longer had the excitement just now, only calm and cold: "Jia Ru, I know that you are a lawyer and have a famous mouth, but family ethics is not a court, and it is not something that you can refute with those theories." If a man loses even the most basic filial piety, and even his mother is sick, then the Zhou family can basically remove this person. ”

Zhou Yu, who was beside him, obviously shook his body after hearing Zhou Nian say this.

At this time, Zhou Liang's tone came out of the mobile phone: "Boss, do you need to bully a little girl like this?" She is twelve years younger than you, and the third child eats and drinks at their house, have they said anything? ”

"Ah Liang, you shut up for me." It was Zhou's mother who was scolding.

I suddenly understood that the same as this one was also hands-free, which meant that all the people on the other side of me had heard what I had just said.

It doesn't matter, just hear it. If you have a lot of thoughts about the person you want to cater to, but you don't really think of you from the beginning, or even just want to bounce you away, then it makes no sense to say it or not.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke: "I will go back." But I am here to tell you cautiously, Jia Xiaoru is my wife, whether you deny it or not, she is also my daughter-in-law who married home. Filial piety, I will do my best, but love, I will not give up, today I will put the words here. ”

He hung up the phone directly, raised his eyes and looked at me, "Jia Xiaoru, let's not quarrel, okay?" I'll go back today, and I'll come back tomorrow morning to greet our mother, okay? ”

I looked at him in amazement and nodded involuntarily.

He reached out and stroked my face, smiling forcefully, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't be so unhappy." Forget what you just did, my phone is full, I'm sure I'm going to call you at twelve o'clock at night. ”

I was very distressed, and he was caught between me and his family. Even though I know that my family doesn't like me, I still have to pretend not to know and try to balance the relationship between the two parties, but it is thankless.

Zhou Yu finally rubbed my hair, turned around and opened the door and left.

Suddenly, I felt tears in my eyes, and I tried hard to keep them from slipping into my eyes. But that's it...... If you want to live a plain life with someone you liked when you were a teenager, why is it so difficult?

Zhou Yu walked on the front foot, and the mother came in on the back foot, and her face was a little bad.

I immediately suppressed my emotions, forced a smile and asked, "What did you go out to buy?" I'm back so soon. ”

My mother lowered her head and showed me the things in her hand, "I'll fold some ingots for your dad later, and I'll burn them for him to take away at dinner." ”

Since my father left, we have been worshipping at home every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, just as he is still with us for the New Year.

I took the bag from my mother's hand and heard her ask, intentionally or unintentionally, "Is he gone?" ”

"Well, I'll come back tomorrow on the first day of the month."

Mom didn't say anything, pulled up a chair and sat down, and folded the money paper with me. In the quiet atmosphere, I remembered what I had always wanted to mention to my mother, and after thinking about it, I said: "Mom, have there been many things in the neighborhood committee recently?" ”

"There are a lot of things at the end of the year, and it's usually quite empty."

"Did you take a vacation until yesterday?" I asked again.

"Yes, yesterday was Chinese New Year's Eve, I had to go to the owner's house to condole, and I was busy until late before I came back. However, I don't feel tired when I'm busy with this, it's good to talk to people, and now our neighbors are very polite when they see me. ”

Listening to my mother's feelings, I am also very pleased. Compared to when I worked in the factory, this job is much easier now, and the most important thing is that my mother is happy, otherwise she is alone at home and no one can talk, and I can't come back often.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, I pretended to be casual and asked, "How is Uncle Wei?" ”

Mom shook her hand and raised her head, "Why did you suddenly ask him?" ”

I said, "He's not the leader of your neighborhood committee, you sprained your leg last time, and he takes care of you a lot, so he should be a good leader, right?" ”

The old mother was obviously restrained, "Manager Wei is indeed a good person, and the people under us are not burdened to do things under him." And he's very conscientious when he hosts community events, and he won't leave it all to us. ”

I laughed and felt that I could get into the topic: "Is his house also in our community?" ”

"No, he lives in the Daimyo Castle, and he comes by car every day."

"And who's in his family?"

My mother was stunned, "Why did you ask about other people's family affairs?" ”

I also raised my head and looked my mother in the eye, "I mean, you are a free body now, if there is someone who is suitable, you might as well consider living together." ”

My mother was shocked and looked at me in disbelief, "How can you have such thoughts?" ”

Reaching over to hold my mother's hand, rubbing it over, I could feel that her fingertips had calluses that had been sharpened by the years, and she had broken her heart for this family. I sighed and said, "Mom, Dad has been gone for four years, and if you count the number of years you have been divorced before, you have been single for more than ten years." It's me who has been tying you up, I used to be ignorant and my brain couldn't turn around, I always felt that you and Dad should be together, and then I grew up and understood, but I was always unwilling to let go of you, until I became a family myself, and after experiencing the taste, I suddenly understood - wife and wife, people want to have a companion when they are old. ”

My mother looked at me in amazement, her lips trembling slightly, and she was obviously emotional.

I said, "I remember that you had this idea back then, but I stopped it, and I always felt very remorseful after I figured it out, but I couldn't open my mouth to tell you this." Just on today's Chinese New Year's Eve, we two mothers and sisters mentioned this matter to you, can you tell me what is the situation in Uncle Wei's family now? I'll talk about it first, that person has to be checked by me. ”

My mother rolled her eyes a little awkwardly, but she denied it: "Who told you what happened to me and Wei Wenjun?" We are the relationship between leaders and subordinates. ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said indifferently: "I asked you about Uncle Wei, it doesn't have to be him, I just want to tell you what I think in my heart." Since it's not Wei Wenjun, I'll pay attention to it for you when I go back. ”

Mom was anxious, "What to pay attention to?" You don't cause me much trouble, and I know what to do. ”

I laughed, pushed my mother's hand and said in a coquettish tone: "Mom-just tell me what the situation is at Uncle Wei's house, your daughter and I are lawyers, and I have a pair of fiery eyes, and last time you sprained your leg, he was so anxious and sent you to the hospital for examination, I already saw the clues, but I just endured it and didn't ask." ”

My mother was a little embarrassed to see that I was broken, but she didn't hide it anymore, "Wei Wenjun's family is divorced, and the child is one year younger than you, and he works in the tax bureau. ”

"What about family conditions? Do you have a house? ”

The mother frowned: "You kid, what about the investigation of the household registration or the family background?" He has a house or not, and he has money or not, so I don't care so much. ”

I don't think so: "That's not what I said, although you don't expect him to be rich, but the minimum basic conditions should be wanted, is it possible that he still wants to come to you?" And he should be a son, right, his son needs a lot of money to get married and a new house, and then how he arranges it himself, don't these have to be considered? ”

"That's not it, he can be my leader, and he must have made a lot more money than me. As for the house, the suite in Daimyo City should be his, and I heard that his son got married last year, so he definitely doesn't live in him. I didn't ask much specifically, oops, I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, and I'm checking people's backgrounds here. ”

Seeing that my mother was embarrassed by me, I also accepted it when I saw it, and only instructed: "I'll give you a reminder, and you have to see for yourself." If the conditions are not very good, as long as the person is good, and then the children don't object, then I will definitely support it. ”

The old mother pondered for a while, nodded and replied, "I know it in my heart." Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm going to invite your dad back later, hurry up and stack some more ingots. ”

I smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
