At that time, they had been married for more than a year, and apart from a few necessary family gatherings and business dinners, Wu Yutong had never eaten with her.

She is also happy and idle, working hard every day without sleep and food, and working harder than before the marriage, without the words of others to marry into a wealthy family, and feel at ease to be Mrs. Kuo's leisurely time.

One night, she was working overtime when she suddenly received a call from Wu Yutong's mother, saying that she had arrived at home.

In order to play the role of a good daughter-in-law, she hurriedly packed her things and went back, and as soon as she got home, she saw Wu's mother with a dissatisfied cold face.

Wen Xueqi thought to herself, Mother Wu is an educated and intellectual woman with a good family background, so she can't do something unqualified, find trouble with others at will, and make things difficult for others, right?

Mother Wu looked at her with a sneer and said mockingly, "You're really busy!" ”

She believes that since a woman is married, she should cook and wait for her husband to get off work, instead of working overtime every day. I go home so late every day, come back and fall asleep, and I don't care about my husband at all, let alone have children and pass on the lineage.

It's better not to marry such a daughter-in-law, and the nannies are better than her. I don't know what such a woman can do.

Wu Yutong helped Wen Xueqi to defend himself, but was reprimanded more harshly by Wu's mother, bluntly saying that he had a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, and regarded kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he had no conscience.

Wen Xueqi pondered, Wu's mother's book really read into the dog's belly.

She doesn't want to fall into this kind of obviously targeted quagmire, although she has the responsibility to help Wu Yutong deal with her family, but she has no responsibility to fight with Wu Yutong's mother. She prefers to spend her time at work compared to this.

Thinking about the unfinished work, Wen Xueqi felt that it would be a waste of time to break with Mother Wu, so she rolled up her sleeves and simply cooked two dishes to prove her housewife ability.

Those two dishes, one is scrambled eggs with green onions, and the other is tofu with leek flowers.

These two dishes are very simple to make, of course, Wen Xueqi will only have these two dishes, so he can only put the plate on a beautiful table to support the façade.

Wu Yutong and his mother both saw the way of eating leek flowers mixed with tofu for the first time, and they thought it was very strange.

The leek flowers were brought by Wen Xueqi from home, and Wu Yutong had only seen them in a hot pot restaurant before, and he had not yet tried how to eat mixed tofu.

Mother Wu pinched her nose, unwilling to touch this thing, and sarcastically mocked her, bluntly saying that this is something that only people in the countryside eat.

She sarcastically said, "What do you think of our house?" What do you think of Tongtong? He is a man, not an animal. ”

"You should know what price you came in, and you should know that you are far from worth it. Now that you can't even cook, what's the use of asking you? ”

Yes, she and Wu Yu have to pay a corresponding price for their marriage, in order to obtain money and convenience that cannot be obtained at present, she sold herself to Wu Yutong, and used the value she could create to slowly repay her debts.

In the days to come, if she can't provide a steady stream of value and can't get more benefits for Wu Yutong, she will have to pay back the rest of the money and leave, Wu's mother reminded her of this again.

She is a tool bought by Wu Yutong.

The tool should do what the tool should do, or the tool will be replaced.

Wu Yutong suddenly interrupted the fucking cross-examination, and he handed the bowl to her to add a bowl of rice.

"This dish is delicious, make it for me every day in the future."

Wu Yutong said that when he eats hot pot, he often sees leek flowers, and he likes it very much, so this dish of leek flowers mixed with tofu is very suitable for his taste.

Mother Wu slapped his arm and looked at him in disbelief, "You kid, what are you ......doing?"

Wu Yutong took the bowl and ordered the eviction, "Mom, it's not too early, I'll find someone to send you back." We are all young people, and we have something to do in the evening. ”

Wen Xueqi is still a girl's family, after reacting to the meaning of this, her face was naturally a little panicked, Wen's mother saw it, and thought that the two really wanted to be in love, so she gritted her teeth angrily.

She glared at Wen Xueqi fiercely, took the bag and left. Before going out, he didn't forget to make it difficult, "Since the two of you have something to do, then get busy with something serious, and I will hold my grandson next year." Our Wu family doesn't raise old hens that can't lay eggs. ”

Wen Xueqi thought to herself, Wu's mother was also a college student of that era, well-educated, and had been working as a counselor in the school all these years, with a decent and stable job. How can the thoughts and deeds be not much different from those women in the village?

Perhaps, as others say, quality has nothing to do with academic qualifications, but with how much you read.

Anyway, she was very grateful to Wu Yutong, whether he was helping him or really liking the dish, in short, his approach temporarily eliminated her pressure.

"Mr. Wu, thank you for helping me out of the siege, I will pay more attention in the future."

The most important thing is to seize the opportunity to show loyalty and not let Wu Yutong be dissatisfied with her.

Haohao is still on probation, and there is still the possibility of being arrested and sent to prison. In order to protect him, she didn't dare to relax at all, and she had to desperately grasp Wu Yutong's life-saving straw.

Wen Xueqi couldn't remember Wu Yutong's expression at that time, but he remembered that he said "um" lightly, lowered his head and ate all the food, and then went back to the room.

She looked at the plate, which was eaten with fine food, leek flowers mixed with tofu, and understood that he really liked this bite, so in the days to come, she often made it for him to eat.

Both of them are very busy and don't see each other much, but as long as they are at home at the same time, Wen Xueqi will definitely make a plate of leek flowers mixed with tofu and put it on the table, which can be regarded as a kind of flattery to him.

She was afraid that he would find a more capable woman to replace her.

In order not to put herself at a competitive disadvantage, there is no value to use, and she was kicked by him, she can only work hard and hard, work hard, and dare not relax for a moment, and do her best to show Wu Yutong her added value.

Many years have passed like this.

It wasn't until later that she finally paid off her arrears and fulfilled her obligations for a stalt marriage.

After helping Wu Yutong take control of the company's power, clear the wilderness, eliminate dissidents, and cultivate a group of subordinates loyal to him, Wen Xueqi felt that his days were finally over.

But Wu Yutong reversed his word and did not agree to dissolve his marriage with her, on the grounds that the company could not do without her in a short time.

"I can give you more money for more than you can offer, and you just want money anyway, don't you?"

She still remembers that day, when the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.

Wu Yu stood under the plane tree, his face was calm, he refused her request for divorce, and the lilac flowers fell one after another around him, just like Wen Xueqi's heart, falling into the dirt and being trampled and hurt.

He didn't care at all about her anger, he didn't even look at her, he just turned his head to the side, watching the cars coming and going, endlessly, without a little human touch.

At that moment, she began to despair of Wu Yutong.

How can he go back on his word and not talk about it?

Although she has been self-aware for many years and puts herself in the position of a tool, after getting along for many years, she can more or less feel that Wu Yutong respects her and treats her as a person, not a tool.

She thanked Wu Yutong for his respect, and as a reward for him, no matter what the occasion, as long as there are remarks unfavorable to Wu Yutong, she will jump out to defend him as soon as possible.

No matter what happens to the company, she will consider Wu Yutong's interests as soon as possible, never put him in danger, and definitely establish his glorious and great image when encountering good things.

None of these things were written in the contract, but she was willing to do it as a reward for him.

Unexpectedly, all this is his own wishful thinking.

That day, they rarely returned home together, and she locked herself in her room and spent a long time staring at Min Yao's email.

Tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

Min Yao wrote in the email that he wanted to marry her, and he only wanted to live with her for the rest of his life. No matter what her reputation or body is now, in his eyes, she will always be seventeen years old.

And now she is full of physical and mental holes, and she doesn't even have the most basic freedom.

Is she really not free?

Wen Xueqi remembered the prenuptial agreement, and suddenly realized something.

She can be free!

Since he is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust.

After regaining her senses, she got up and went to the living room to pour water and drink, and her mind was quickly calculating the plan, and when she glanced at it, she found a plate of leek flowers mixed with tofu on the table, and her anger arched up instantly.

How powerful he is, first of all, he broke his promise and didn't say anything, and he used this dish to sarcastically mock her, reminding her not to forget her identity, she was just a "tool" that was bought and had a use value.

As a "tool", what qualifications does she have to ask him to deliver on his promises?

As a "tool", what qualifications does she have to propose a divorce from him?

As a "tool", what qualifications does she have to pursue her own happiness?

Yes, in his eyes, she is just an emotionless "tool".

So he trampled on her wantonly, mocked her mercilessly, and humiliated her in every way.

Wen Xueqi still remembers the anger of that night, it was the biggest temper in her life.

Even in retrospect, I feel that Wu Yutong at that time was unforgivable.

She pushed his hand away, looked at his old cucumber-painted face, and opened her mouth full of resentment.

"You go aside, I hate this!"

"You ......"

Wen Xueqi glanced at him in disgust, she found a porcelain basin, squatted on the ground and noodles, and didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

If he let her go at that time, she would be with Min Yao, and the two of them lived a stable and happy life, not rich enough but warm enough.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, life is burdened by trivial things, and the relationship between the two will be accompanied by trivial things, becoming more and more family-oriented, and there will be no ups and downs, let alone unwarranted disasters later.

In fact, in my heart, it is false to say that I don't blame him.
