(82) Have a plan
Since Zhang Gang filed for divorce, both of them have been depressed, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, cold and frozen.
Zhang Gang's WeChat and QQ dynamics have all become sad words such as "the hearts of the people have been the coolest since ancient times" and "people's hearts can't stand the test". Li Xiaocan feels that he is about to run for three, is it necessary to rise to the height of human nature as soon as he quarrels? It's not a child's house.
The two had not spoken for four days, and both had fallen silent. You can't really be so scattered, right? Li Xiaocan sent a WeChat message to ask Zhang Gang: "Are you okay?" ”
After sending it out, Li Xiaocan checked his phone at a frequency of half a minute. But for a whole night, Zhang Gang did not reply.
Li Xiaocan's heart began to miss Zhang Gang's various benefits - Zhang Gang does not smoke, does not drink, does not play cards, does not mess with the relationship between men and women, and works diligently to make money to support his family, except for foolishness and stubbornness, there seems to be no other shortcomings.
And this shortcoming does not involve the bottom line and is acceptable. It's not cheating, it's not love, why did it come to this point?
Li Xiaocan inadvertently swiped Weibo and saw a very popular video on the Internet - in the Civil Affairs Bureau, the staff asked a young couple who came to divorce: "Why divorce?" ”
The woman angrily preemptively replied: "The personality is incompatible!" ”
The staff asked the man again. The man waved his hand, looking extremely tired: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence!" ”
The staff frowned and kindly reminded: "Divorce is not child's play, have you thought about it?" Are you sure you want a divorce? ”
The two said firmly in unison: "Sure!" ”
After completing the formalities, the staff handed them the divorce certificate.
The woman lifted the bag, turned around angrily, and the bag smashed into the man's arm. The man chased forward: "It's all gone, what do you want to do?" ”
The woman turned around angrily, shook the divorce certificate in her hand, stared at the man viciously, and the man also stared at the woman, both foreheads were about to touch together, and said in unison: "It's good to leave!" Good bye! ”
The expressions of each other are just a couple quarreling, and even like a pair of happy enemies.
Below the video is a text: According to the latest data from the Civil Affairs Bureau, the national marriage registration rate fell by 7% last year, and has been declining for four consecutive years. A total of 4,374,000 divorce registration procedures were completed in accordance with the law, an increase of 5.2 percent over the previous year.
Below the news are various comments. Some people say that it is too hasty for men and women to separate because of incompatible personalities. Personalities can be accommodating and complementary, acute looking for chronic, lively looking for quiet, so that you can see the problem from more angles. If both of them are acute, someone has to become the slightly more stable person in the run-in; If both of them are chronic, there will be people who will change a little faster.
The most tacit partners are not destined by God, but run in with each other. It's just that in the process of running-in, some people can't accept to change themselves and give up. On the surface, it seems that the personality is incompatible, but in fact it is still not enough love.
Obviously, Zhang Gang did not file for divorce because of his incompatible personality with Li Xiaocan. Li Xiaocan calmed down, spread out a blank piece of paper, and listed the reasons for the countless quarrels with Zhang Gang after marriage.
It turned out that a large part of their quarrel was caused by money, either because Li Xiaocan's parents were greedy for the bride price, or because Zhang Gang's parents gave less, or because they disliked Zhang Gang's low salary, or because of economic factors, they had a dispute with their mother-in-law.
Poor couples mourn everything, and love without bread is full of chickens and dogs quarrels. Two people who once loved each other, in the reality that they can't drink enough water, are increasingly complaining, calculating, ridiculing, and mean, stabbing each other's hearts and consuming each other's feelings.
To a certain extent, money is not vulgar, it represents a retreat, more choices, and infinite possibilities. And without money, everything can only be improvised, can only be endured, can only be calculated.
Li Xiaocan doesn't feel that he is a snob, but unconsciously, he is forced to be impersonal by the pressure of money.
After finding out the reason, Li Xiaocan knew what to do. She picked up her phone and sent Zhang Gang a long text message:
Guaranteed to give 2,000 to parents-in-law every month. In order to increase revenue, the plan is as follows:
First, rent out the house. The house has just been renovated, and it is still smelling to remove formaldehyde, which was originally planned to be empty, and was forced to rent it out due to economic pressure.
Second, change the milk powder for the baby, the baby is now almost a year old, you can eat complementary foods such as porridge, and the milk powder can be replaced with rice flour to reduce the amount of milk powder.
Third, reduce spending. I used to eat pork ribs and lean foreleg meat, but now I eat some cheap pork belly, and try to visit the vegetable market as much as possible, and don't buy vegetables in the supermarket.
Zhang Gang finally replied to the message: I can still give an extra thousand a month, you don't have to save too much.
This line represents the end of the Cold War between the two men. This is not a line of words, but the key to reversing the marriage on the verge of collapse, so that two people in the ice cellar have taken a big step towards each other.
Li Xiaocan was overjoyed, she figured out Zhang Gang's bottom line, as long as the relationship with her father-in-law and mother-in-law is handled well, Zhang Gang will be obedient to Li Xiaocan as before. Li Xiaocan has to admit that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will affect the quality of a marriage, she always didn't care before, and felt that she would not be stupid enough to divorce because of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. But the actual situation is that in her increasingly complaining and calculating, Zhang Gang's feelings for her have also been damaged, which directly affects their marriage.
With Zhang Gang's support of a thousand thousand, Li Xiaocanton felt much more relaxed.
To handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law well, it is useless to ask Zhang Gang for help, and he can only rely on himself. How to deal with elders with different opinions and concepts? Li Xiaocan pondered hard. Speaking of elders, she thought of her boss and had a plan, right! Treat your mother-in-law like a boss!
Just do it, Li Xiaocan borrowed a thousand from Huabei, and went to a large shopping mall not far from home to step on it, find out the price, and have a plan in mind.
When he was on holiday on Saturday, Li Xiaocan proposed to go shopping and buy things for the baby. My parents-in-law set off with the baby.
In the mother and baby store, Li Xiaocan had no thoughts, only glancing at the women's clothing store next door.
"There's nothing to buy here, it's all available online, and I'll buy it online for my baby when the time comes." Li Xiaocan took her father-in-law and mother-in-law out of the door, and pointed to the women's clothing store next to her: "Mom, there is a women's clothing store next to here, let's go and have a look." ”
"Oh, you're going to buy clothes, aren't you?" Mother-in-law asked.
"Let's see, go shopping, buy it or not." Li Xiaocan pulled her mother-in-law into the door.
This store is very large, more than 200 square meters, the environment is elegant, the soft orange light shines on the delicate clothes, the clothes exude charming charm, and the needlework and weaving appear so ingenious. With dark gray wallpaper, white shelves with unique shapes, and corners dotted with pothos and flowers, the whole women's clothing store looks so comfortable and warm, clean and high-end.
Li Xiaocan greeted the waiter who greeted him: "Is there any clothes suitable for my mother?" Help pick it out. ”
The mother-in-law looked at Li Xiaocan in surprise.
Li Xiaocan said with a smile: "Mom, I'm here, let's take a look." ”
The waiter quickly took a black plaid dress and handed it to her mother-in-law with a smile: "Auntie." What do you think of this? ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly turned around and walked out: "I don't want it!" I don't want it! ”
Li Xiaocan knew that her mother-in-law was reluctant, usually her mother-in-law only bought clothes in the small shop next to the vegetable market, and she only walked in some narrow alleys when she went shopping, and she never came to such a tall place. So he hurriedly took the child from his mother-in-law: "Mom, you can try it, I gave a bonus last month, the boss gave me a prize, I gave you a prize, if you didn't give me a child, how could I easily go to work without worries, right?" Buying a dress is not a luxury! ”
The waitress was eye-catching and took the opportunity to echo: "Ah, this is your daughter-in-law, right?" How blessed you are! Your daughter-in-law respects you, she has this heart, then you can accept it with peace of mind! It's right for a daughter to buy a dress for her mother! Here, this is the fitting room, and it's okay for you to try it! ”
The mother-in-law was dragged to the fitting room by the waiter, and her mouth was still unwilling: "Ouch, buy me some clothes!" I've become an old lady, why do I pay attention to all this?! ”
Li Xiaocan laughed loudly and said, "Mom, just try it, there are a lot of pieces of meat!" ”
After a while, the mother-in-law came out of the fitting room, and sure enough, the person relied on clothes, horses, and saddles, and wore high-grade clothes, and the mother-in-law was more energetic.
The waitress looked her mother-in-law up and down, pat her here and there: "Auntie, you look so good in this dress, you are much younger!" This black lattice is lively and not dull, fashionable and not tacky, and thin! ”
The mother-in-law looked at herself in the mirror with a smile on her face.
Li Xiaocan looked at it, and it was really good: "Mom, you go out in this dress, let's walk together, others will say that you are my sister!" ”
The mother-in-law smiled a little stiffly, straightened her back, pulled a strand of hair on her cheek behind her ear, and looked in the mirror, like a shy girl who loves beauty.
Li Xiaocan said sincerely: "Mom, you are really suitable for wearing this dress!" ”
The mother-in-law is most worried about the price: "How can this dress be sold?" ”
The waitress said: "Six ......" was talking when she saw Li Xiaocan on the side squeezing her eyebrows at herself, so she changed her words: "Yo, your daughter-in-law gave you a gift, and you are only responsible for beauty today!" Whether it's expensive or affordable, it's all her heart, isn't it? Let's take a look at this again! ”
The waitress picked out another dress with a yellow base and blue and white patterns, and handed it to her mother-in-law.
While her mother-in-law was in the fitting room, Li Xiaocan went to the front desk to settle the bill, and when her father-in-law saw this, he took out his mobile phone: "Xiaocan, don't you pay!" ”
Li Xiaocan said magnificently: "I'll pay today." ”
