twenty-one

Zhang Xu told me that it was his ex-wife who called him, which surprised me a little. Because he has been with Zhang Xu for so long, he really hasn't been in contact with his ex-wife. He never mentioned her in front of me, as if this person didn't exist.

"I don't have any money right now." After Zhang Xu told me that it was his ex-wife, he said to his ex-wife.

"Zhang Xu, now I really don't have a penny in my hand, a few days ago Lingling came to me and asked me to buy her a mobile phone, and the thousands of dollars in my hand were spent on her. I don't have any money for medicine now. "I heard what Zhang Xu's ex-wife said clearly.

"You don't have any money, Lingling asked you not to give it to her, right?" Zhang Xu said.

"You also know that our daughter has been used to spending money since she was a child, and she picks everything to buy, you say that she asks me for money, can I not give it to her?"

"Then I don't have any money in my hand now, what should I do?"

"Otherwise, you can get me some less. I really don't have any money left. Zhang Xu's ex-wife said.

"Okay, I'll figure it out again." After finishing speaking, Zhang Xu hung up the phone.

After listening to their conversation, I asked Zhang Xu with some puzzlement: "Zhang Xu, why did your ex-wife ask you for money?" ”

"Isn't she unemployed? I don't have any money in my hand, and Lingling always goes to her to ask for money, so she wants to borrow some from me. Zhang Xu said to me. I listened to Zhang Xu's words and believed it. So I asked, "How much are you going to give her?" ”

"I'll give her a thousand."

"Zhang Xu, or you can get her more. I think she really has no choice but to borrow money from you. If she hadn't been cornered, how would she have opened her mouth to you? ”

I was really stupid to think about it at the time. I believe everything Zhang Xu said. For Zhang Xu's ex-wife, I am very sympathetic to this woman. We haven't met in person, though. But when I think of Lingling saying that her mother was abandoned by her father while she was sick, I felt pitiful for that woman. I thought, how much courage does a woman have to ask her ex-husband to borrow money?

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, if it were me, I wouldn't have borrowed money from my ex-husband even if I was starving.

"My money is not blown by the wind, and she doesn't go to work all day long, so she counts on my money? How can I give her so much money? ”

After listening to Zhang Xu's words, I didn't speak again, because I didn't know too much about what was going on between them. Seeing that Zhang Xu can say such a thing, it should be his ex-wife who makes him sad, right?

After talking about his ex-wife, we continued to eat. Zhang Xu asked me: "Wen Li, where are you going to work after you resign?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet. I'll go to this factory for a month first. If it really doesn't work, I'll do it temporarily, and if the factory work is busy, I'll go over to work for ten days and half a month. That's fine, too. Because it is a temporary job, the salary is high. I earn more by working for half a month than I do for a month. If I work for a few months a year, I earn more than I do in that factory for a year. ”

Zhang Xu said after listening to me: "That's okay, it's just that you're tired of running around." And it's been a month and a half since you've been gone, and I always don't feel good. I'm trying to figure out a solution, but I don't know if it's going to work. ”

"What's the solution?" I asked.

"Wen Li, you can cut clothes and make clothes. It's better for you to open a store. And you can also trim the hem of your trousers, fix a zipper or something. Do you know? Now you can make money by slimming the trousers and repairing the zipper. ”

Zhang Xu's idea coincides with mine. That's what I thought, but I just didn't say it. I didn't expect him to have this idea too.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he asked me again: "Wen Li, do you think this is okay?" We don't have to earn more to open our own store, we just need to earn a salary. That way you don't have to look around for a job and you can earn money again. The key is that you are free to open your own store? You can take a break whenever you want, and you don't have to take time off like before. ”

I understand what Zhang Xu meant. What he meant was that in the future, if his parents were sick, they wouldn't have to worry about taking leave.

After listening to what Zhang Xu said, I said, "I also have this idea. I don't know if it's okay, so I didn't tell you. Now that you've said so, I think it should work. ”

"Really? That's what you think, too? Then let's open a store, and you won't go to work tomorrow. ”

"How can you just say it's open? Besides, I have already promised Tingting, how can I say that I won't go if I promise someone else's things? After I'm done for a month, we'll talk about opening a store. ”

"That's fine, then we'll wait until you get back." Zhang Xu said.

After discussing it with Zhang Xu, we continued to eat. After the meal was finished and cleaned up, Zhang Xu said to me: "Wen Li, you and I should go to Lingling's mother's place." ”

I was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing with her?" ”

"Didn't she say let me send her some money? I thought you'd come with me while you were at home. Lest I meet her alone, and you will have any misunderstandings in the future. ”

As soon as I heard Zhang Xu say this, I hurriedly said: "Zhang Xu, since you told me, then there will be no misunderstanding." You'd better go on your own. I'm not going. I'm going to work tomorrow and I'll have to see if anything is left behind. If you forget to bring something there, you have to buy it now, doesn't it cost money? ”

"Wen Li, you really won't misunderstand if I go by myself?" Zhang Xu asked again.

"She's your ex-wife, it's normal for you to go see her if you have something, and you also told me, so I won't be misunderstood. If you don't tell me, go and see her privately, and then I will be misunderstood. I said.

"Wen Li, if I had known that you were like this, I would have told you the truth a long time ago, and there would not have been such a big conflict between us."

As soon as I heard Zhang Xu say this, I asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What did we fight that day for? Isn't it just for a woman's call? When you asked me who was calling that day, I didn't dare say it was from the shop. Actually, I often go to that little shop to buy things, so we know each other very well. In order to pull more customers, the proprietress sometimes buys things at a discount, and she asked me to pull more colleagues from the factory to buy things from her, so that I can have her phone. But I'm afraid you will misunderstand, so I told you that it was Xiao He's phone. ”

Zhang Xu explained to me the origin of the suspicious call. At this time, I didn't know whether what Zhang Xu said was true or false. But I don't want to talk about that anymore. So I said, "Don't mention it again, forget it." ”

"No, I don't explain it to you clearly, you always misunderstand me. Just because my first marriage was cheating, I was careful everywhere, for fear that you would misunderstand me. I hit you that day because you didn't trust me. It's not like you don't know what I've been like to you since we got married. But when you go and call the shop, isn't that a slap in the face? What do you say when you let me meet someone? That's why I hit you in a hurry. Wen Li. It's all my fault. It's that I didn't make it clear to you. I was afraid that you would misunderstand, but it turned out to be self-defeating, but it made you misunderstand. ”

After listening to Zhang Xu's words, I felt that what he said was reasonable and should be true. Thinking of this, I actually regretted it a little, thinking that I was really suspicious.
