When it comes to her former daughter-in-law, Zhang Xu's mother seems to have endless words and grievances. I didn't want to interrupt her, for fear that she would think I was tired of listening. So I was there eating and listening.
Zhang Xu's mother continued to talk: "Our little Xu Bai has worked for her for half her life, and she really owes her in her last life. This time, Xiao Xu can be regarded as leaving her and finding such a good daughter-in-law as you. "Seeing Zhang Xu's mother say such things, it's not good to interject to express my own opinions. But I still feel that Zhang Xu's mother is a little inappropriate to speak. Because husband and wife live and go to work to earn money for the sake of this family, in order to live a good life, there is no such thing as who works for whom. But she's an old man, and I don't know much about what happened between them, so it's better for me not to express my opinion if I don't know.
Zhang Xu's mother said again: "She will follow her mother." Lingling and her grandmother are like that, no amount of money is enough to spend. In order to buy delicious food, I owe thousands of dollars to the supermarket, and finally put all the salary cards into the hands of others. "What Zhang Xu's mother said, I really don't believe it, didn't Lingling say that grandma's family is rich? Why don't you owe money to the supermarket when you buy something to eat?
But seeing the more she talked, the more angry she became, I guessed that it must be because Lingling's mother didn't let her build a house in the yard. So I persuaded her, "Mom, eat vegetables." Don't mention anything that you are not happy about, so that you will not be angry. ”
"I'm not angry, I'm glad that Xiao Xu divorced her, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save a little money even if I was tired. Now that Xiao Xu can marry a good daughter-in-law like you, it can be regarded as his endure. ”
Listening to the meaning of this, Zhang Xu's mother hopes that Zhang Xu will divorce. But don't many old people don't want their children to get divorced? It must have been Lingling's mother who broke the hearts of this family. But Lingling has a different statement from her grandmother.
So I asked, "Mom, why did Zhang Xu get divorced?" ”
"Wasn't that all her? Do you also know how hard Xiao Xu works every day? But she stays at home all day long, she doesn't do anything except eat, and when Xiao Xu comes back at night, she not only doesn't cook, but also has nothing to do every day, who can stand such a daughter-in-law? Later, there was really no way, and Xiao Xu couldn't afford to mess with her, so he had to stop going home and rent a house outside to live by himself. Can't you mess with her and can't hide from her? You said that Xiao Xu rented a house outside, and we didn't ask him to rent it, and she also sent a message to scold Xiao Xu's brother. How can you say that there is a brother and daughter-in-law who scolds the eldest uncle? What's the point of having a bastard like this? Zhang Xu's mother said.
After listening to what Zhang Xu's mother said, I heard one thing that was the only thing that coincided with Lingling's words, that is, Zhang Xu had separated from his ex-wife before the divorce, and he rented a house by himself outside.
"Actually, it's better not to divorce for the sake of the children." I said a high-sounding word.
In fact, Xiao Xu didn't think about divorcing her yet, she just wanted to go out alone and be quiet, but she was good and ran to Xiao Xu's factory to make trouble. Originally, Xiao Xu was about to be promoted to workshop director, but she was so good that not only did she not become the director, but also made the whole factory laugh at her. How far do you think she's gone? ”
This meal was not finished until we all finished eating, and Zhang Xu's mother had not finished counting her former daughter-in-law.
In this way, after we finished eating, I finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and continued to chat with Zhang Xu's parents. Zhang Xu's parents didn't see me and told me everything. I've been listening to them. It wasn't until two or three o'clock in the afternoon that they left. Originally, I wanted to leave them after dinner. But Zhang Xu's mother said that she would go back to sleep for a while. I thought that the old man really should take a lunch break, so I didn't keep them anymore.
After they left, I started to clean up the house again, and I thought that Zhang Xu would be back soon. Sure enough, not long after his parents left, Zhang Xu came back.
Seeing Zhang Xu enter the yard, I hurriedly greeted him and asked him with concern: "How is it?" Tired of it, right? ”
Zhang Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't feel tired." "He's like that, although he's nearly fifty years old, he's always in good health, just like a young man, he always has endless energy. I've never shouted tired.
"How can you not be tired? Let's go inside and wash your hands and rest for a while. As I spoke, I walked side by side with him into the room.
He smiled wickedly at me as he walked and said, "Don't you know my energy? It's not like you haven't been taught. "Although I am also middle-aged, I still feel a little hot in his face with his provocative words.
"Don't be serious, if this makes people listen to it, what a joke?" Although I was not disgusted by this kind of flirtatious and flirtatious words, I still said a word to him insincerely.
"What do you mean by being old and not serious? Am I old? People say I'm like a boy. Although Zhang Xu's economic conditions are very bad, he has always been confident and narcissistic.
I didn't contradict him either. , just followed his words: "Yes, yes, you are not old, you are still very young, hurry up and go into the house and sit for a while." ”
After Zhang Xu entered the house, I poured water for him and washed his hands. wiped it and said, "It's good to have a wife!" I didn't speak, just put the towel he handed me where it was hanging.
Back to the house together, Zhang Xu sat on the sofa, and I said, "I haven't finished cleaning up yet, you sit first, and I'll clean up later." ”
"What else is there to grab? You can sit down for a while, and we'll talk together. Zhang Xu said. At that time, Zhang Xu especially loved to talk to me, not only that, but he also liked to take me with him wherever he went, whether it was to a colleague's house or a dinner party with friends. I could see that he had always been proud of me.
Originally, he wanted me to go with him when he was helping his colleagues to do work today, but because he was going to work, I couldn't help much, so I didn't go with him. Besides, today is Sunday and I'm going out to buy some groceries and invite his parents over for dinner, which requires me to be at home. That's why he didn't insist that I go with him.
Thinking about it now, Zhang Xu may have really loved me at that time.
Hearing what he said, I said, "Wait a minute, I'll be done in a moment." Say whatever you want, it's not like I can't hear it here. ”
"Can that be the same? How nice it would be for us to sit and talk face to face? So you're in the outhouse, and I'm in the back room, how boring is it? ”
"That didn't delay you from talking." I said with a smile.
Now we are happy, although we have been together for a long time and have been receiving the certificate for almost a year, but our feelings for each other have not decreased, but are getting sweeter and sweeter. At least I think so.
Even though I said that, I quickened up my chores and soon they were all in order. I took off my apron and went into the house. Sit down opposite Zhang Xu. He was sitting on the couch, and I was sitting on the edge of the kang opposite.
When Zhang Xu saw me coming in, he said, "You can rest for a while, I know that you are not idle, you have been busy." ”
"I also have energy, I'm young, what's the matter?" I also learned from him.
"Stop blowing, don't I know you yet? Just your little physique? Let's take a break. Sit down for a while and I'll take you with me to go fishing. Zhang Xu said.
"Aren't you tired after working for most of the day? Still going fishing? Stay at home. ”
"By the way, are my parents here today?" Zhang Xu asked.
"It's coming. It didn't take long to go. I replied.
